WOMAN'S PAGE. Sweaters as Parts of Ensembles BY MARY MARSHALL, Sweaters are now chosen as part of gome particular ehsemble, not as inci- dental garments to be worn with any suit or dress or skirt when added warmth is needed. ‘The sweater need ot mateh the skirt or suit with which it THIS STRIPED BEIGE AND BROWN ZEPHYR SWEATER MAY BE WORN WITH A BEIGE OR BROWN PLEATED SKIRT. 1s worn, but it should be chosen to pro- duce a definitely conceived color scheme. ‘This season capucine sweaters are smart with brown, and turquoise is effectively worn with navy blue. The two-toned or striped sweaters may be chosen to match the darker tone of the suit and the Mghter tone of the accessories. 1If you have chosen a suit as the “piece @e resistance” of your wardrobe for The Sidewalks Autumn, then you will find it eon venient to have a silk blouse or twe warmer days and & lightsweight sweater for cooler days. You may even have one light-welght wool sweater and one of a heavier sort, 8o that the suit may be worn with comfort on warmer days all Winter. “I have a blatk spangled cocktail jacket left from last Winter. -It has hardly been Worn. Are these jackets going to Be worn this Winter? Would it be appropriate to wear with a sleeve- less velvet dress?” I am afraid that spangled jackets of this sort will not look very smart this Winter. I would not advice wearing it with velvet, but rather with georgette, chiffon, net -or silk crepe. I would suggest having a simple sieeveless dress of one of these’' materials, and then wearing it with the jacket for informal evening occasions, for little dinners and bridge at home, This week's circular shows how to make the new stijched band and tled trimming used in the new Autumn dresses.

If the departure and arrival of Rob- ert Fulton's first steamboat had been broadcast. Announcer’s voice from the studio: “Ladies and gen- tlemen of the radio audience, we will now take you to the scene, where you will hear a f word-by-word de- scription of the departure of the Clermont. The next voice you will hear will be that of John Q. Fibble.” Another voice follows: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, here we are at the pier. I am sitting on top of a long pole overlooking what may prove to be an epochal event in the history of our Nation. This is John Q. Fibble speaking. It is a beautiful day overhead and the waters of the Hudson are placidly flowing. The Cler- mont is moored to the dock and hun- dreds of people are peering curiously at the strange looking craft which Mr. Fulton declares wili be propelled by steam. “All sorts of horse-drawn vehicles are | lined along the shore, waiting for the boat to leave. I see Mr. Fulton on the forward deck. He is shaking hands with friends and smiling grimly. A committee of citizens has just gone aboard with flowers. “Oh, boy, what a picture! There is a trickle of steam coming from a smokestack. Very soon we shall ex- perience a genuine thrill. . There are many on the pier who shake their heads dubiously, as though doubting the wisdom and sanity of Robert Ful- ton. Just below me are several pretty girls in the latest flowered bonnets. “The whistle on the boat is now blowing. Perhaps you can hear it. This is John Q. Fibble speaking to you from the pier near the Clermont. A well dressed lady has just thrown her arms around Mr. Fulton, who blushed. Just a minute, folks, until I take this ‘mike’ nearer the boat. “Here we are at the gangplank. The assengers are coming aboard slowly. lends are bidding them ferewell on the projected trip to Albany. Here comes Hezekiah Clip, the well known lawyer. Judge Jones Able is walking rapidly up the gangplank. Well, sir, and here is Miss Netly Birdsall, one of the few intrepid women who will make the daring voyage. She is carrying a pet poll parrot and a maltese cat. Just a minute. Oh, Miss Birdsall says the parrot is going along to bring luck. “There seems to be some excitement on board. Visitors are now coming ashore., The sailors are working. fran- tically. Mr. Fulton expects to prove the practicability of steam as applied to water craft. If it works, & new era will have begun. It will be casy to imagine ships sailing to Europe under steam. Many marine experts, however, state that the day is a long way off before such a thing will be common. Some say Fulton will fail. Others insist that, even if the contraption works, it will be at least 25 years before steam will be used on the ocean. There is always the risk of a blow-up. “The last of the visitors are ashore Another voice: “This is Peter Gooch speaking. From where I am standing I can just see the Clermont coming up the river. She is steaming slowly. It doesn't seem pos- sible that there are no sails on her. Here she comes. The huge throngs lin- ing the shore are shouting enthusiasti- cally for the boat and her brave skipper and crew, Crowds are now milling to get a closer view of the craft as she nears this point. “The Clermont is now almost oppo- site us. What a sight! I can distin- guish Robert Fulton himself standing in the bow. The passengers are lining the rails and waving to those on shore. A whistle is blowing on the boat. She is plowing through the water beautifully. “It looks as if Robert Fulton's dream has come true. She is now farther up the river, so I will transfer you to an- other point, where Sigmund Auks will speak to you.” Another voice: ‘‘Here she comes. The gallant Cler- mont is sailing beautifully under her own steam. The chug of the engine is clearly discernible even at this distance.” ‘Thus the descrip- tion continues until B the Clermont docks. Another voice: “Well, ladies and gentlemen, this is John Q. Fibble speaking again. ‘The Clermont is now coming slowly to the pler. There is a mad rush by the spectators to be first to greet the intrepid master, crew and passengers. One small boy has just fallen into the river with enthusi- asm. Now she is being fastened. The sailors are winding the rope about a what-you-may-call-it, The gangplank is being let down. The passengers are gaily descending. “As they push through the crowd, hands are extended and congratulations shouted. It is a great day. Mr. Fulton is shaking hands with Judge Able. Miss Birdsall has just told a friend that she lsl lsm‘e her parrot brought luck to them THERE. IS A MAD all. “Now Mr. Fulton is leaving. Here he comes down the gang] k. There is & wild cheer as he nears us. Just a minute, folks, I'll see if I can get Mr. Fulton to say something to the radio audience. Yes, he will. Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you the inventor and skip- per of the first steamboat, Mr. Fulton.” Voice of Mr, Fulton: “Well, folks, I am indeed proud and happy to speak to you and to tell you that our efforts this day have been crowned with success. A dream has be- come a reality. Boats can mave under their own steam, and I think we have adequately demonstrated this teday. I want to thank all those who made pos- sible this great adventure, and especial~ ly thank the members of the crew who so faithfully stood by during the trying days of preparation, as well as during the fictull' demonstration.

A, writes: “When I tell you that I have & boy of 18 months and » girl of 6 months, you will under- stand how I enjoy and appreciate your articles. The boy has temper spells and kicks and 'screams, the same way throughout the night. 1 have done everything I know of, being careful of his diet and giving him a light meal of ceseal and milk at night. He 18 not jealous of his sister, as she sleeps most of the time and demands very little attention. I think it must be nerves or worms. The doctors din&ree with me. I havé never heard this subject discussed in your column. “I also want to tell you of & .sugges- tlon which might help your readers. I buy rubber caps that fit over the open end of the feeding bottles and then I need not fear that they will spill when I carry them an _electric gl night, when lay it on the plate, turn on the elec- tricity, and then keep turning it until it is warmed. In spite of the fact that the bottle 18 cold when put on, I have never had a broken bottle.” Answer: I would really have to know more about the child before having much idea of what might cause these temper spells. You say he isn't jealous, but this isn't always easy to determine. He may feel that he gets less attention now that baby sister is here than he did before, even if you aren't conscious of it. One treats an older child as if he were more grown-up the moment there is & new baby in the family, and sometimes this transition is so rapid that it is difficult for the older child to adjust himself to his new status. In- stead of enjoying it he just finds that he isn't babied any more and is sup- posed to act like “a big boy.” You may have less patience with him because the baby demands more of your time. ‘Temper tantrums aren't unusual in the child approaching the age of 2 or thereabouts. We have discussed this under the heading of negativism, for at this period the small child wants to assert himself, and he is met by con- stant frustration from his, parents. “Don't do that, don't go there, keep fingers off, come here this minute, go to sleep, eat your dinner.” Can't you hear them all? His one resource is to cry or have tantrums or to shout: “No, I won't,” and gaze at you deflantly. Your best plan is to watch your own negations and try to give the child a chance to act unhampered whenever possible. Your method of heating bottles is unique. Most of us would have some compunctions about laying a cold bottle on a stove, even if assured that it wouldn't break. % A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Foolishness of Despair. Text—"Therefore, I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun."— Ecc., 11.20. It was in a fit of pessimism that the writer of Ecclesiastes penned these words. This writer was not the last man to give utterance to such despair as that he describes in the text. Every day we hear men speaking in despalring terms of their labors and efforts, com- plaining that they are never able to get anywhere, that nothing they undertake ever pans out. One of my friends writes: ‘“Have you ever. heard that despair is the conclu- sion of fools? Think it over. It is true. When you are cast down because you can’t do this or that or the other thing you want to do, when you are in despair because your plans have not worked out, you are not a fit subject for your own or another’s pity, You Jjust proving to yourself that you not smart enough to do the thing vou wanted to do, or that you haven't cour- age enough. Despair is something to be ashamed of. Despair is the emotion of a second-rater. ‘Despair is the conclu- sion of fools.” I would not call the despairing man a fool, but_certainly his conclusions are foolish. Despair distorts one's vision so that he sees mole hills as mountains. ‘When a man is in despair he makes his situation out to be worse than it is. Evyery cloud has a silver lining, but he cannot see any silver lining to the cloud that han, his case is unparalleled and hopeless. Our labors may often prove fruitless, our plans often fail, but God deliver us from the foolishness of despair! Lessons in English BY W. L.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. MR!. HENRIK SHIPSTEAD, wife of the farmer-labor’ United States Senator from Minnesota, is credited with once having made the remark: “I have the cour- age to live where the Congressmen want to live.” ‘The Shipsteads make their home in Washington on East Capitol street, in the mneighbor- hood of the Capitol Building itself. She is not alone in this belief. For it seems that once again Capitol Hill is to become the mecca of Congress- men and their families. In recent months more and more Senators and Representatives have felt that this is the place for them to live. assures them a closer touch with Gov- ernmental affairs. In its boundaries, familiar to legislators for generations, they feel at ease. So it is that the time-honored man- slons, which once saw muddy coaches roll by and blink sleepily at vari-colored taxicabs and motors bringing national lawmakers to their homes. Champ Clark lived on the hill while he was a member of Congress. No place in Washington appealed to him 80 much. Once he moved away, but after trying to live in an apartment in ancther section of town, he came back for good. One of Representative Ruth Bryan Owen’s first acts when she arrived in the Capital was to find a place to live on the hill. She now occupies & bungalow on Maryland avenue almost within earshot of her office. Repre- sentative Katherine Langley of Ken- tucky also lives in that vicinity. Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- nia makes his home on the first Block of Maryland avenue, In the same block just & few doors above lives Senstor Joe Robinson of Arkansas, minority leader of the Senate. He a8 8 ncl‘fimnmr Benator Carl Hayden of a. nator Thomas Heflin of Alabama had made his home for years in the old Congress Hotel, o&wfllu the build- ing that houses the offices of the mem- bers of the House of Representatives. He must look for another home soon, however, for the hotel is to be torn down to make way for the new House office building annex. Senator John J. Blaine of Wisconsin is another who lives within the shadow of the Capitol dome. While in Wash- ington he stays at the Capitol Park Hotel. Of course, there are those who go t0 the other extreme in the matter eof choosing & place to live. ‘There is Senator Porter H. Dale of Vermont, for instance. He has just urchased fof a Washington residence & "nrn stone mansion on the outskirts of the city, Senator Smith Brookhart of Iowa has gone all the way to Hyattsville, Md. Senator Thomas Caraway of Arkansas is another. He has bought the beauti- ful and historic Calvert estate, once the home of Lord timore, near Hyattsville, and has made’ it into & place of rare beauty. 4% But the trend, especially amo: new members of Congress, seems to be toward rather than away from the hiil. Difficulties with time and transporta- tion do not worry them, Every resident of the neighborhood knows them by sight. Their habits, hobbies, likes and dislikes are always treated with the kindly indulgence famillarity. 1t is_always worth while to be in the gallery when the United Btates len-ga reconvenes after a long recess or adjournment.

COLBERT But just then the future was forgot- ten. At the moment the Senator from Utah was vastly more interested in whether his friend the Senator from Tennessee had enjoyed his brief vaca- tion than in how he felt on the pro- posed increase in the sugar tariff, Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi was surrounded by three or four of his colleagues at his desk on the Democratic side of the aisle. The lanky and popular Southerner sat deep in his chair (as he does at all times) and from time to time unrestrained laugh- ter would float up from the group to the gallery. Senator Borah of Idaho joined the group for & few moments, listened and went away with his face wreathed in smiles. Benator Wagner of New York came up and became so interested that he drew up a chair and sat down. And during it all Senaotr Harrison sat lelmnlfv smoking & long cigar, de- spite the fact that this is one thing that simply isn’t done em the Senate . loor. Vice President Curtis arrived and immediately began shaking hands with every one on the floor. From time to time he would look around to see if he had missed any one, then finding he had he would go in quest of him. He shook the hands of two Senators twice in his eagerness to greet all. And each arose as he proffered his hand. Senator Tom Heflin of Alabama was the only one who called him Charlie. Senator Thomas of Idaho sought out Senator Borah and the two exchanged greetings with the arm of each about the other. Senator Smoot of Utah their familiarity. ‘Two women and three men were ushered into the chamber and to the desk of Senator McKellar. He called all of his colleagues who were nearby and introduced them. Then he took his guests on s sight-seeing tour of the Senate chamber. He showed them the desk that Danlel Webster occupied, took them to the Vice President’s dals and insisted that each of the women sit in the Vice President’s chair.

Your :‘lflo:m)' can go so many miles on & L the sz will come when it will have to puff up to & refresdhmenu station where is being served. n;v'htn th motor runs an airplane and some man or & nervy girl is fiolnl to fly across the sea, the great problem is how to carry enough fuel for the trip, which is & problem for the airplane whose ca~- pacity for freight is limited. There are no flfiln‘ stations in the skies. If there is to be a stay-aloft record and the plane is to keep going like & frigate bird, there must be refuelling from another plane which files up wi the gas. The flllm% station may be on the ground or in the air, but we have to keep near it if we are going to g9, that's all. The way we fly around these days when we are always on the job or on the go makes the question of fuel para- mount, as the boys say in politics. Most of us are inclined to believe that we can load up with fuel in school so that after we've made the eighth grade or gradu- ated from high school we are equipped for life. ‘Well, the little old red schoolhouse or the modern red brick high school were good filling_ stations, and the stuff we picked up there has been able to carry us along so many miles on the road or 80 many bigger jumps in the sky, But school fuel ean't last forever. ‘The fillnig stations for cars are promi- nent on the corner, but you can find the filling stations for the motor in the brain if you are acquainted with the advantages of your community. There is the public library, which contains on its shelves a lot of canned gas in the form of books. There’s a filling station for you! ‘The big towns have their night schools which may be chiefly for foreigners, al- though lots of home-brewed Americans are often found there trying to make up for the advantages missed in school or when they were not in school. In addition to the fule you can get from a book, there is conversation with people who do more than talk talk. ‘There is travel, too, even when you don't go so far away. Then there are the resources of your own mind, which can act like a self-filling fountain pen. ‘The main thing is to feel your need of fuel. The old motor lets you know when its dry. Your little bean may be doing the same thing, only you don’t notice it. Don't let your brain run out of gas! Look around for the filling sta- tion. The gas is cheap.

Dear Miss Leeds: I have a €éry scalp and thin, ofly hair. wish my hair once & week with a coconut oil shampoo ration, after combing it with & comb. After my hair has dried my scalp is full of dandruff. My face and hands are also very dry, so that the skin peels off unless I apply creams daily. I have tried everything. What shall I do now? Answer—The first thing for you to do is to bulld up your general health. A really healthy person does rot have an excessively dry skin and scalp. See that your weight is not below the average for age and height. Your diet probably needs adjusting fo include more dairy products—milk, cream, cheese, butter, and also fat meats, fish and oil. Excessive dryness of the skin is sometimes due to internal conditions that require medical attention. I should advise you to have & thorough physical examination by a doctor to see what the trouble may be. For a local treatment rub a little sulphur salve into your scalp every day and massage for 10 minutes. Wash your hair once a week, but before you do so loosen and brush out the "dandruff gently and saturate the scalp with olive oll. Leave this on for at least an hour, or over night. Shampoo with a pure olive oil liquid soap. Wash and sterilize all your hairpins, brushes, combs and hat linings once a week. I think, however, that merely local treatments cannot cure the condition unless you also improve your health. Colors for Dark Brunette. Dear Miss Leads: (1) I am quite dark.
