WOMAN’S PAGE. Evening Ensemble With Wraps BY MARY MARSHALL. Very few women can afford to have & special evening wrap to go with every evening dress—unless they happen to possess but -one evening dress. It is all very well to know that the smart thing to do is to wear an evening en- semble with wrap specially made for the dress—but quite another thing to THIS EVENING WRAP OF METAL BROCADE HAS A LOOSE BLOUSE EFFECT AT THE BACK. carry out this plan on a small dress allowance. . During colder weather the woman who has a coat of one of the finer furs, such as seal, lamb, caracul or mink, may wear this for either afternoon or evening. An afternoon coat of black cloth trimmed with fur may also be worn in the evening—when special eves ning wraps are out of the question. * The Sidewalks Another way out of the difficulty is to select one evening wrap that will harmonize with a number of evening dresses. A black velvet wrap is suit- able for wear with black chiffon or velvét evening dress and may be lined with georgette to match a colored eve- ning dress. “T am going to college at the end of September and want to have my ward- robe complete until the Christmas holidays. 1 want to make two simple evening dresses and would like to know what colors or shades will be smart this Winter."—X. An all-black evéning dress will surely be smart. Any of the off-white shades, such as eggshell, pale pink or very light green, will also be good. Clear shades of light rose or violet are sure to be good throughout the Winter. This week's circular shows how to make & new band trimming that is used by one of the important French dressmakers this Autumn. It is easy to make and may be made from narrow strips of the dress material so that it means no extra expense. If you would like to have the illustrated cir- cular sent to you, please send your stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and it will be forwarded to you.

Not all members of the Senate and House are men of means, although there is an abundance of wealth on Capitol Hill. There are many legisla- tors whose incomes are several times the salaries paid them by Uncle Sam. The President himself possesses wealth that would permit him to enjoy a life of luxurious ease. Mr. Hoover is the richest Executive ever to have occupied the White House. “It is love of the game said one member to the writer. “Politics offers an opportunity for self-expression, and I don’'t mean verbal expression. Like the stage, once it gets into the blood it is difficult to give up. “In my own case, I have varied busi- ness interests. They carry on without a great deal of my personal ,attention. While I am fond of golf, I find the sport is inadequate. The competition is not keen eough. I know of nothing so exhilarating or exciting as a political campaign waged against a fighting opponent. All the wit a man pos- sesses must be summoned to win. “Besides being of service to your con- stituency, the fellowship on the Hill is something hard to understand, unless one has _experi- enced it. Political partisanship is for- gotten in the cor- ridor and on the street. Men who battle over issues in the chamber bury their differences outside the arena. “Then the joy of living in Washing- ton is something that plays a de- cided part in the desire to win and retain membership in Congress. I would suffer if I were compelled to live on my salary.” ‘This may explain why so many men of wealth are in Congress. * K ok K ‘Most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were men in comfort- able if not opulent circumstances. * kK * One of the most pitiful features of old age is the thought that one is no longer necessary to the success and prosperity of an organization. The writer was acquainted with a man 82 years old, Save for two weeks each year, the old gentleman never left his desk. As a young man he started a small business on a “shoestring.” The enterprise_flourished through his dili- gence and assiduous efforts. As the years passed the organization grew to Pprodigious proportions. In the meantime two young sons were attending college. Upon their graduation the father set them to work in his plant. They started at the bottom and learned every phase of the business until they not only mastered it but became imbued with the father’s enthusiasm and vision. There came a day whefi a family conference was held. The sons, honest in their motives, suggested that the father retire. He had accomplished & business miracle, and it was thought that a trip abroad with his wife and ryest, should be his reward. The old gentleman protested but finally agreed. He spent three months BEAUTY CHATS i Face Powders. Must you use face powder all the time? 1If you are a business girl, of course, you must be always at your best.

He summoned one of his sons and asked why he wasn't consulted. He was told that he (the father) should no longer be bothered with the details of the busi- ness he had developed. This came as a shock to the elderly man. He wanted to be consulted. He desired more than anything else to be a vital spark in the company he had nurtured to success. His body was worn but his brain was active and fresh. “Never mind, father,” said the son, “prother and I are relieving you of everything. You run along home, and we’ll run_this institution.” The old man could not gomprehend the situation. Reluctantly putting on his hat, he departed. The following day he appeared at his office again. Still no one looked to him for orders. For several weeks he continuesl Yo visit the scene of his commercial triumphs, but there was something gone from his life, The business was functioning without his advice. One evening he failed to return for dinner. His sons, becoming alarmed, hastened to the father's office, where they found him slumped in his desk chair—dead. His physician said that he had evidently died of a broken heart. Had he resumed his importance he might have lived 10 years longer. * ok Kk A mechanical contrivance seldom de- teriorates as rapidly as the human ma- chine when it is junked. An artist acquaintance went to Europe three years ago. He was provided with enough money to spend the rest of his days in ecstatic idleness. A few ‘weeks ago he returned to plunge again into his profession. What seemed to him to be perfect peace was misery, and today he is younger appearing than the day he sailed. * k kK There is a retired railroad conductor who spends considerable time at Unior: Station, He visits the scenes of his former labor.

The Page family joined with the Millers in an outing over the week end, which was followed by Labor day. Nancy emptied her refrigerator and pantry of perishable food before start- ing. Later she told that she found some cooked ears of corn, a green pep- per, a few peaches, some eggs, part of a head of lettuce, and a few slices of cold boiled ham. From this mixture she arranged the following dinner Her first course consisted of cold] meat with corn Creole. With this she had a salad of hard cooked eggs on lettuce. ‘The peaches found themselves in a peach gelatin served with cookles, which she bought. At the same time she purchased some crisp French rolls. She knew that eggs and meat did not belong on the same menu, but the meat was scanty. Peter ate every- thing down to the last crumb. He said it was because he wanted good weather for the morrow's trip, but Nuncy be- lieved it was because everything tasted so_good. ‘To make the corn Creole she cut the corn from the cob. Had she had fresh corn she could have used that equally well. When she had two cups of corn, she washed the green pepper. Cut- ting off the stem end, she took out seeds and white pith. She cut peppers into small pieces and sauted it in bacon fat until it was quite soft. Then she added corn and cooked the mixture until it was thoroughly heated through and un- tii some of the corn kernels became brown. She seasoned to taste. She might have added chopped pimento had she wanted to. Sometimes she put in a few drops of Worcestershire sauce just before she took it from the fire. Nancy might have served cake.

W. writes: My baby was two years old in June and has all his teeth. I have always washed them with a coarse washcloth to keep them clean, but lately there is a film over them and they are beginning to turn a little green on top. He won't let me use a tooth- brush, so I don’t know what to do. My sister’s baby is the same age and his teeth are as white as can be. “Is it possible that there may be something lacking in the diet? For breakfast he gets an egg and cereal and milk. Later the juice of an orange. For lunch he gets chicken or bacon and two vegetables and milk and stewed fruit. For dinner, cereal and milk. While his appetite is fairly good he doesn't seem to care much for meats. He will chew chicken or bacon until dry and then ['spit it out. I sieved his vegetables until the fourteenth month which may ac- count for his dislike of coarser foods.” Answer—Just washing teeth with plain water isn't enough to keep off deposits and, as your baby eats no coarse food that might help in that direction, you simply must resort to some powder or paste that will remove the coating. Use a clean piece of ab- sorbetn cotton each morning (the wash- clotn sounds distasteful to me), and ut on some precipitated chalk or some commercial powder or paste that isn't rough and gritty. If the baby handled his own toothbrush he would probably enjoy it. For the future, if the teeth are washed this way daily they should keep clean, but this present coating of een had best be removed by the den- tist; it will resist your efforts. jve hl?ds‘ let him feed himself and hell learn to chew better. Don't fuss about it if he chokes a lftle, help him with water and pat his back, but don't get excited or nervous, for this frightens the child so that he is even more apt to choke. Cut his meat finely. If I were you I would try other meats such as jamb, scraped beef or well-cooked liver. A diet of bacon and chicken would be tiresome to most any one.

WILLIAM J. LOCKE says that women are becoming standardized. What nonsense! Not only are no two women alike, but no one woman is like herself at two different times. Every woman changes her looks, her age, her character and her dugmition as often as she does her clothes, and that is why she is never a safe bet. You never can tell what she is going to do next. 1t 1s men who run true to form, not women. It is men who fit themselves to the pattern of their fellow men. Look over ahy ‘assemblage of men and they are as much alike as peas in a pod. They all have on the same kind of clothes, the same stripe of shirts, the same cut of collar, the same sort of shoes. Indeed such a cult do they make of the art of understudying each other that nothing short of dire necessity induces them to appear in public in trousers that are a hairbreadth wider or narrower than those that every other man has on. Formerly you could distinguish one man from another by the. variety he introduced in landscaping his whiskers, but now even that mark of distinc- tion has been shaved off and -nothing short of intuition enables a woman to pick out her own husband in a crowd. When a clerk wants to sell a man a coat he tells him that it is what everybody is wearing, but when he wants to sell one to a women he swears to her that 1t is an original model and that no other woman in the world has one like i6. Men may like to look like other men, but no woman wants to resemble a sister womna. =Look about drou at any feminine convention and it is like 4 Kaleidoscope of changing, shifting colors and forms. . Men are also much more mentally like each other than women are like other women. They think along the same lines, whereas every woman has a different individual opinion. That is why you can unionize men and herd them into political parties where they will stay put and vote stral ht, but every wom- an is & law unto herself and liable to change her convictions at a moment's notjce and be first on one side of l?e political fence and then on tae other. B IT is ridiculous to talk about women being standardized when the individual woman changes so from time to time that if you don't see & friend for six months or so you are liable not to recognize her when you meet her. For when you parted with dear Sally she may have been a fat lady with a billowy figure and triple chin, but when you encounter her again she has become a slim creature who is a perfect 38. Or she may have had sandy hair that was straight as a poker, and now her face is framed in wavy locks of Titian red, and likely as not the next time you see her she will have cimmged into & brunette, Or she may have been frankly middle-aged, with saggy cheeks and crow's-feet around her eyes and tired lines about her mouth, but now you behold her with the round and unmarked face of a child. And it is the same way with women's characters. All of us have known puritanical women who suddenly turned into frequenters of night clubs. We have known domestic women, staid mothers of families, who, after walking the colic for 20 years, faced about and went mad over having wild times. his. Fool women who in some crisis settled down into being the sheet turned into dime-nursers and And we have known the reverse of t! acted like Solomon himself; wild women who anchors of their homes; extravagant women who penny-pinchers. We have all seen women who would go into hysterics over any trifle, accept some great ordeal with the calmness and courage of a hero. We have seen sick, neurotic women who had made a profession of invalidism, get up from their couches and go to work and support their husbands and children if the ( necessity arose. We have seen silly, selfish women, with apparently no more hul;tnor brains or character than a rag doll, rise to the heights of sublime self- sacrifice. So how are you going to standardize these creatures who are contradic- tions in themselvs Why, there isn't even any type of woman. We speak of good women and omen, of society butterflies and business girls, of domestic girls and flapper: ihese terms'mean nothing. There is no class of girls upon which we can rc pin these labels with any assurance that they will live up to their brands, for a girl may be one thing today and another thing tomorrow, or what is more likely, she may be in herself all of the various outputs of her sex. se e . IT is because women are not standardized that marriage is such a gamble for a man, because there is no possibility of his knowing beforehand just what is in the litile surprise package of femininity in which he is investing his all. It doesn’t do him a bit of good to decide beforehand that what he wants in a wife is an old-fashioned girl, or a home-loving girl, or a girl who is a good cook, or a thrifty girl, or a girl who knows how to make her own clothes. Nor does it profit him to pass up as a wife the girl who is gay and frivolous, or the girl who dances holes in her slippers, or the girl who dresses like a fashion plate, for, likely as not, the girl who has had a wild time is tired of dancing and wants to settle down, while the girl who has never had a chance to step out can’t get enough of running about and never wants to stay at home. Likely as not the girl who has never cooked a meal in her life will be crazy over having a kitchen of her own and learn to be an expert cook, while the girl who has always had to cook is sick of pots and pans and comes out of the Kkitchen to stay when she gets married. And often as not the girl who has spent papa’s money like water holds on to her own with a death grip. And there you are. A man is not married to one women, but a hundred women, and he never knows which one is going to meet him when he comes home. = Which, perhaps, explains why men understand their wives so little. A lifetime is not long enough in which to get acquainted with all the different varieties of lady to which they are united. Hence we needn’t worry about women becoming standardized like cnaned goods and automobiles. It is one of the things that can’t be done. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1929.)

As it stands it illustrates the involun- tary confession of an ingrown mind. A Self-Tortured Mind. «I have been suffering unusual mental tortures for two years. I have been to physicians and psychoanalysts, yet something big and looming has been omitted from my case. “From 16 to 20 I shaved up the skin rather than down and shaved very frequently, there being no absolute need. I felt that my beard had been thickened by this, ‘and being considered good- looking, the thickness of my beard arose as a-disturbing factor in my good ap- shaving down only and it appears much neater now. . “I have felt that since I wasn't near the top in my law work (I am in the last half year at law school) something was wrong with me; that since my father was a big Talmudist I should be near the top in law school. I couldn't understand this and thought I was doing injustice to my father be- of some“organic trouble within me. «“T felt that I wasn’t capable of much mechanically; that intellectually I was far ahead of myself mechanically. I therefore didn’t feel in the mood even to do law work, since I saw a big outer, mechanical world about me of which I was no part. And here I am studying over moldy books and words. I wondered if I could make a physician (I have two uncles, both physicians). “f remembered a few brilliant in- cidents before the age of 12, such as my being the only one in the arithmetic class to solve a problem. Since I recall | § no brilliant incidents since I moved to New York, and since then (13 to 14), 1 began to shake my head violently and to grind my teeth during sleep. Although I stopped shaking my head until one year and & half ago, when it came back I have continued grinding my teeth ever since. I didn't sleep for more than three hours a night for two_years, but recently six to seven hours. I had dark rings under my eyes incessantly.” Reply.

Psychic Adventures of Great Men qnd Women M. Warcollier’s Uncle Seems to Greet ‘The Dead. BY J. P. _Dr. Minot J. Savage, the clergyman, once reported a puzzling case.
