WOMAN'S PAGE. Black for Evening Always Smart BY MARY MARSHALL. 1f you like to deal in certainties and do not care to gamble when it comes to buying clothes, then by all means plan to have a black evening dress. Black for evening depends on no passing whim of fashion. It is always smart, and with the new fabrics and the new manipula- tions the black evening dress is espe- clally attractive, Now that no one ob- jects to at least a little make-up in the evening, the question of making black becoming is easy to solve. Among the new materials for evening are a number of coarse meshes, and these are especially good in black. They are as light as chiffons, of course, but less fragile. Fine black lace is also used r some of the new black evening dresses, but the coarse meshes are less likely to look matronly than lace. A SIMPLE BUT SMART FROCK OF BLACK SATIN IS CUT LOW IN BACK, WITH A SIMPLE “V" DE- COLLETAGE AT THE FRONT. Scveral of the important French dressmakers use a very little flesh color | or pale pink with black. The precise tone of this pink should depend on the | coloring of the wearer. The girl who has olive skin will find a rather yellow | pink—a light shade of the tea Tose— most becoming, though for the more| pronounced blond the yellow note in the | pink is not so becoming. | Jenny of Paris has made some charming black cvening gowns trim- | med with very fine black bead work a type of dress that always produces ! the' slenderest possible effect, A comfortable, becoming little hat The Sidewalks B for your little daughter 'm-{' be made from velvet or cloth by faluwl.nt the pattern and directions givén in this week's circular. ~Please send your stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, if you would like to have a copy sent to ou. 7 (Copyright, 1929.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Mrs. A. L. C. writes: “As usual, mothers are interested in the problems we have met satisfactorily as well as those which baffle us. This is a little more about the child who has many toys and won't play with them. My two boys were born when I was almost 40, and adoring family and friends showered them with everything. When the clder was a .baby he had a large pen into which he. was placed each morning and afternoon, some one al- ways nearby, but seemingly intent on reading or sewing. Not even grand- mother was allowed to play with him. He learned to play by himself by the | hour without effort. “Some toys we keep for house play— they have a drawer in their dressing room with things to use when I am busy there. Puzzles, pasting and cut- ting are kept for sick days, so they don’t grow old to them. “Out of doors they have bikes, wag- ons, trucks, sand pile and slide and they go from one to another all their waking hours (they are now 3 and 5 years old). They use their toys and their play vard as they please, not as we expected when the toys were given them. Their slide wasn't two days old when they transformed it into a coal chute with sand for coal. Old bricks are great fun to haul in the trucks. The sand pile goes everywhere in the vard except where it belongs, but it builds cement walks. Threshing ma- chines are constructed from old broken 10-cent store toys; their swing is a rope ladder, etc. They get much dirtier than,| other children, but they never ask what to do next and seldom get into real mis- cm::r. though plenty of the normal sort.” Answer—One feels like shouting this letter with its suggestions both sound and unusual. certain idea in mind and then are up- set when children see something quite different i them. If the child makes use of that toy or apparatus in any but the time-honored way, it is a most un- usual parent who can let him alone. For too often they feel impelled to rush cut imploring the child to stop what it is doing. “Now don't put bricks on your chute; it will get all full of splin- ters and won't be of any use to you.” Or, “You'll break your wagon if you haul so many boys in it and of course you don't want to do that.” Toys are toys. They represent only what the child sees in them. Parents would do well to disregard the misuses to which a child puts any toy. What his imag- ination sees in the toy makes it val- uable to him, even though he uses the train as a garbage wagon and the wag- “IS a urain, Adults should “keep out.” of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. If the first railroad train had con- tained a group of special correspond- ents, the following might have been one of the stories: “Great crowds gathered this morning to witness the departure of the train. The day was clear and bright and country folk jammed the roads leading | to the scene. The train consists of what is known as an engine and three coaches. The vehicles resemble the stagecoaches familiar to the cities. On the engine are two men, one known as | the engine driver and the other a fire- | man. A whistle is attached to the en- gine for the purpose, according to offi- cials, of warning cows and sheep that ! may stray on the track to get out of | the way lest they be struck and derail | the train, thus causing death or injury 0 the passengers. “The mayor and other prominent civic officials gathered to bid Godspeed and good luck to the intrepid passen- Fd ‘The sponsors of the journey de- clare that while the apparatus may at- tain a speed of 10° miles an hour, the danger has been reduced to a minimum. “We shall soon be off on an epochal journey, the results of which may be far-reaching and of great significance. “There are many ‘doubting Thomases' in the huge throng. A special commit- tee on public wel- fare has already | protested to the | officials against| what they call fool- hardy enterprise.” The officials, how- ever, refused to in- terfere, .saying: ‘It is in the interest of sclence. Such ven- tures as this are necessary. Some lives must be sac- rificed for the ;;[mgrcss of poster- THERE ARE MANY DOUBTFUL FOLIKS- The moment has almost arrived when we shall leave — if, indeed, the smoky contraption moves at all. Among those on board are Capt. Peter Von Hooven, Amos Clinker, Obadiah Haiiks, Malachi Meadows, Maj. Jere- miah Glackens and Ezekial Purdy. “Capt. Von Hooven has said to your correspondent, “This is no time to con- sider risks. We shall have died in vain, if the ambitious scheme of the sponsors fails, Stout hearts must be ready to test the utility which may prove of in- estimable value to the Nation.’ “The whistle is blowing. It is a shrill sort of screech, and inspires one with The crowd, which has been con- has_become silent. Two men have wagered that the train will meet with disaster or blow up. Mrs, Hanks and Mrs. Purdy are weeping and Tolding_their husbands' hands. ~Mrs. Purdy has begged her husband to re- consider and leave the coach. The Hanks children are beginning to weep. There is_another shrill blast of the whistle. We are moving. Puffs of black smoke are spouting from the chimney of the engine. We are moving slowly. At last_We are off on the great adven ture. The crowd is waving handker- chiefs. Good-by all. L “En route—What a thrilll What a ecnsation! The train is now rushing at the tremendous speed of nine miles an hour. It fairly takes away one’s breath. Cabins and forests seem to blend into the landscape, so rapidly does our train flash by. There is 2 perceptible and ter- rorizing roll of the coaches, and one clings desperately to the sides, lest one is tossed - Black smoke pours from the en chimney as the wood blazes. The inircn'd engine driver pushes his mighty st.ed with every ounce of its power. “A man known as conductor tells us that we are making 10 miles an hour. It is unbelievable. We are going faster than man has ever gone before. The passengers are covered with dust. Here 2nd there astonished pioneers stand by the trackside, gazing with awe uflon the "uncanny sight. Their primitive minds seek the reason for all this. Their eyes search in vain for horses. What, then, pulls the three coaches? “We are maintaining a speed of 10 miles an hour and the engine is not Jaboring. The wind is blowing and we are compelled to draw our hats low on our heads. Capt. Von Hooven has, lost his hat and his hair is snapping in the Maj. Glackens, but his voice is sub- merged in the clatter of the wheels and the exertion of the engine. It has been an hour and a half since we left and we have traveled 14 miles. ‘A wild dream.’ one would say. But it is real; it throbs with actuality. The horseless age has arrived. Let the scoffer scoff. L0 e “En route, return trip. We are on the return journey. Mr. Hanks was stricken with stomach illness, which he attributed to the roll of the coach. The engine is still steaming at the -rate of 10 miles an hour. So far it has given no indication that it may blow up. The fearless fireman tosses logs into the engine pit.

August 31, 1861—The military author- ities are much disturbed because the newspapers in most of the Northern cities continue to rerort minutely all movements of Federal troops from the Northern States to the seat of war, giving full particulars of numbers and equipment. Such publication is in direct violation of the fifty-seventh article of war enunciated with consid- erable emphasis by the Government. ‘The greatest offenders in this regard are the newspapers of New York City. /Among them are some of the papers that are loudest in their professions of patriotism. The Washington and Balti- more newspapers discontinued the pub- lication of such information as soon as the Government order was issued, being the first papers to set the ex- [ample. Among the persons from the District of Columbia now imprisoned in Rich- mond is Capt. W. C. Templeton of Georgetown, formerly of New Orleans. He went into Virginia to reclaim his son, & boy of 14 years, who had run away from home and joined the Con- federate Army. Capt. Templeton is being held in a charge of going within the Confederate lines without a pass. Several large fields of corn are being cut down by the Federal troops on the Virginia side of the Potomac River near Washington. Some persons have regarded’ this as wanton destruction, but it was explained today that it is being done for precautionary purposes. It has been discovered that these fields of corn afford protection for Confed- erates who approach the Union lines under cover and fire on the pickets. ‘Within the last 12 hours another sweep has been made of all small boats along the shores 'of the Potomac River as far down as Fort Washington. The | facilities of the Confederates for get- ting information across the river are thus being diminished day by day. Many persons from Southern Mary- land are having difficulty in getting passes from the provost marshal here to enter and leave the city. All appli- cations, together with accompanying recommendations, are being closely scrutinized, because of the large num- ber of Southern sympathizers in that part of the State. One applicant for a pass recently submitted recommenda- tions from persons who certified that they had never heard him say anything against the Federal Government and that they knew him to be “strongly in favor of the State.” His application was held up because the military authorities were doubtful about the meaning of the latter statement. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Indirect Thinking. Since Freud proposed his now fa- mous theory that the unconscious mind is vastly more important than the con- scious mind, psychology has experienced a rebirth. Psychology now studies the by-paths of the mind: Dreams, hallu- cinations, slips of the tongue, memories, neurasthenia, instanity, and hundreds of other curious mental behaviorisms heretofore but little understood. These by-paths, according to Freud, lead straight to the kingdom of the mind, to the seat of the soul. Students in sympathy with Freud's views are beginning to discover how the great men of all times have done their thinking. For instance, Emanuel Kant was able by pure abstraction to get rid of his gouty pains. This same man, there- fore, formulated the theory that mind was & “thing in itself.” Lord Byron saw ghosts, and got a lot of inspiration from them. Alfred de Musset at times couldn't tell the difference between his day- dreams and his world of reality. Sir Walter Scott was often visited by “visions” and could even summon them at will for literary purposes. Goethe occupied himself for hours at a time watching the curious ocular spectra which any one can produce by closing the eyes tightly. In his imaginae tion he made these over into all sorts of things, flowers, people dressed in various ways, representing all sorts of human characterizations. Dr. Johnson frequently heard his ab- sent mother calling him. These mem- ories became for him real experiences, | although they were only revivals of childhood impressions. S. F. B. Morse solved the problem of his telegraphic code while lying down | in a state of complete abstraction. From all these discoveries made by Freudian psychology one gathers the notion that the best way to find out how your mind works, is to catch it off | its guard. You cannot explore the deeper regions of the mind deliberateiy. It is through indirections that you dis- cover the directions of your mind. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAR MISS DIX—I am engaged to a widower whom I love very much and i who loves me. But the other night he had a bad dream about his former wife and he feels as though it were some sort of warning and as if she would always come between us. Do you think so? PUZZLED. Answer—Fiddlesticks! I should think that your widower is trying to break off the engagement on a very flimsy pretext and that his dream was far more likely to be inspired by what he ate for dinner than by any interference from the Spirit world. ‘There is nothing more ridiculous than the idea that we carry the little per- sonal jealousies of this life beyond the grave. Certainly it could add nothing to the bliss of an angel in Heaven to keep the husband that she had left on | earth lonely and uncared for, loveless and homeless. It has never been established that the dead have any way of wigwagging messages to us in our sleep. So tell your fiance that he will have to come across with a better reason than that for getting out of his engagement. Of course, however, your sweetheart's first wife can be a menace to your happiness and she will come between you and him, if he is one of the blundering idiots who never understand that a second wife is always more or less jealous of her predecessor and if he always keeps throwing her in her teeth, o to speak. | For there are men who are always telling wife No. 2 what a wonder wife No. 1 | was, what a marvelous cook she was, how she could run a house without money and make an omelet without breaking eggs. So my advice to you is unless your fiance can regard his first marriage as a | closed incident to have a few dreams yourself and in one of them have your sainted grandmother warn you not to marry a widower. DOROTHY DIX. * koK ¥ [DEAR MISS DIX—I am a girl of 18. I used to g0 on wild parties and have dates with different sheiks every night and often disobeyed my parents and slipped out without their knowing it. Now I have met a boy and have fallen in love with him and do not carc to go anywhere. Just to be with him. But he says that just as easily as I settled down I can pep up again and be jazzy again, and he is afraid to trust me. Don't you think he is wrong? ALICE. | Answer—I certainly do. ‘The girl who has had a gay time is far more likely | to stay settled when she does settle down than the girl is who is hungry for parties and amusement. 1t is the thing that we haven't had that we all want the most. The things that we have had we have found out were not so much after all. There was green side to every peach, a drop of bitter in the sweewst cup. There was a | morning after following every night of revelry. It is only the things that we haven't had that we sec robed in all the glamour of perfection. The girl who has never been to parties is the one who always wants to be stepping out after she is married. The girl who has never had any attention from men makes the married woman who can never resist a flirtation. The girl who has had to do all the cooking at home loathes the gas range so that she feeds her husband out of paper bags and tin cans.

(3) I have almost black hair, hazel eyes and dark olive complexion. What colors are becoming? Y. Answer-—(1) I think ‘the wide, flat waves should be becoming. Use a high side part. Another way to dress your hair would be to draw the middle head and have it straight or very slightly waved from side to side.

Could I use the 17 volume peroxide without_diluting it to get quicker re- sults? I used to shave the hairs, but they came in stiff and dark. Then I had some removed by electrolysis, but tiny scars were left. The operator said they would leave in time, but that was a month ago. MRS. JOHN. Answer—Try making a paste by mix- ing the bleach with powdered pumice- stone. In this form the bleach keeps moist longer and has a better chance to act on the hairs. Any peroxide, of course, tends to dry the skin, so that it is necessary to apply cold cream afterward. If you use the 17-volume peroxide do not make it into a paste, but apply it carefully to the hairs, brushing them so that they stand away from the skin. In this way you can avoid getting the strong bleach on the BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, August 31.— | village.
