To overdressed tes an insuffi- cient wardrobe, not necessarily a poor purse, the it sometimes does, but a w;nrdrobe t cannot meet emergen- cles. i In the business world a certain type | of costume, more or less definitely pre- i scribed has been resorted to by firms partly because so many employes had | so little idea of how to dress or what sort of clothes were appropriate. How- ever, outside of business there is not the | same restriction. The woman has to de- cide for herself. Stores do help in their suggestions as seen, for instance, in housedresses, enveloping kitchen aprons that are so adequate that no frock needs to be worn beneath, etc. These are something on the order of business garbs, for they pertain to the business of running a house. In this generation a number of dresses are considered necessary whereas in the days of our grandmothers one or two “best dresses” relieved the woman of perplexities. Now there must be after- noon , evening "gowns, sport clothes, etc. All these and more com- bine the wardrobe of the woman who is in social life. The woman who leads a quiet life with occasional ‘theaters, teas and eve- | nlnfl‘ functions dees well to chogzt frocks that are adaptable to various oc- | casions. An afternoon dress of a cer- | tain type can be worn appropriately to evening affairs that are not spe- cifically full dress occasions. A sport dress of a certain type can be worn for | informal afternoon affairs or fer for- mal morning_occasions. A morning dress (not a housedress) of a certain type, is appropriate for afternoons at home, even when a friend comes for tea, or when she goes to another’s house for tea without other guests. ‘The homemaker needs to be guided by good judgment in the choice of dresses bought ready to wear, or those she makes.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. “DINTY MOORE” has passed from Capitol Hill. And members of Congress mourn the demise of their favorite rendezvous of more than 20 years. “Dinty Moore” was the card room In the old Congress Hall Hotel, a half block south of the Capi- tol. Within a few days wreckers wil attack tne famous old hostelry. annex to the House Office Building will rise in its place. There are few Represe ntatiyes who have heard of Moore.” 8 to 100 lived at Congress Hall dur- ing every session of Congress. But few ventured in with any other purpose than merely to 160k on. For there were two unwritten laws governing this hangout: First, a man had to know about every- thing there was to know about bridge. Second, he had to take abuse of his game squarely on the chin and like it. And how far abuse went at tinfes those who played know only too well. * Jack Garner, the minority leader of the House, was one of the ringleaders. The fiery Texan delighted in makin, life miserable for the man who slipped. And he made no exceptions. There is the story of how Garncr drew as a partner one evening a clergy- man, guest of the hotel, ‘and rather proud of his game. Garner was un- aware of his profession, and when the clergyman played a card that was ob- viously the wrong one he bounced to his feet and shouted: P "?Wh:c the h——I1 did you play that or?” Later one of Garner's friends tried to explain that nothing was meant, ‘that he did that to every one. The clergy- man enjoyed it hugely, complimented Garner to his friend, and then congrat- ulated the Texan himself on his excel- lent bridge game. Garner was one of the most enthusi- astic bridge players ever to frequent the “Dinty Moore” room. But there ‘were others, sure enough of their game to brave the rawhiding they were sure to get, who delighted in whiling away the evening there. . Representative Edgar Howard of Ne- braska, long-haired and genial, was an- other frequent bridge player there. He took his with a smile and gave them as good as they sent. * “Doc” Crowther of New York and Garner would lock horns nightly over the game. Their criticism of each other ‘was merciless. To an outsider it looked :.:1 it ‘they would come to blows at any inute. Small wonder, then, that a man thought more than twice before he vol- unteered to sit in on a hand. There were many to try it once, but few came back a second time. One could always find a game going ? Thy in the “Dinty Moore” room. ere were no set rules—the first to come ‘were the first to play. The games would start every evening immediately after dinner. And they would last often far into the night—until every one had got- ten every one's goat.

The draperies are hung from beneath a wooden cornice boar painted green to match, and there is a conventional design which harmonizes with that in the draperies. The table is of cak, the candelabra bronze and the book ends of ivory.

Senator Hale's first venture into pol- ities was in 1905, when he was chosen to serve in the Maine ature. It was not until 1916 that he came to the United State Senate. His career in the Senate has been regularly Republican, with Progressive leanings at times. He made a single- handed fight to have fertilizer removed from tariff duty and won. Three months after the armistice was signed, in 1918, in a speech in the Senate, he demanded immediate withdrawal of American troops from Europe on the grounds that zflhelll; presence there might lead to dif- culty. - He cast his vote for the eighteenth amendment. He also voted for women's suffrage. | Senator Hale is a bachelor and is 55 years old.

She has the same men- tality and carries the same conversational line and this is what makes the poor, neglected wife, who suddenly realizes that her husband has lost interest in her and ceased to care for her, throw up her hands in utter bewilderment. She doesn't know what the matter is, nor what she has done, nor why her husband should have lost his taste for her. Because he picked her out of & whole group of women for a wife, and inasmuch as he was an intelligent adult male, she gives him credit for having enough sense to know what he is doing. She feels that even an idiot couldn't associate with a woman for six months or a year or two years without being able to size her up and form a pretty correct estimate of her character and disposition and mental equipment apd being able to judge how well they would jibe-wl!h his own. ) or mu as angels while they are trying to catch a man and as soon as they have they shed their wings. ‘There are girls who before marriage are so mild and sweet and amiable that butter wouldn't melt in their mouths, who after marriage are viragoes and terror- ize their husbands with their temper. course, there are cases where women trick men into matrimony. by affecting virtues and charms that they do not possess. There are plenty of gir’s who There are girls who wear ruffied white aprons and talk about how they adore children, and how they just dote on cooking, and how they long for a dear little home of their own, but who after the matrimonial knot is safely tied call chil- !dren brats and refuse to be bothered with any of their own; who couldn't be dragged into a kitchen by wild horses, and who insist on living'in hotels, because they are too lazy to make a home. Naturally the man who has been gold-bricked in a matrimonial transaction doesn't feel very kindly towgrd the lady artist who has gypped him. It is easier to love our enemies than it'ls those who befool us and take us in as easy marks. ‘Then there are the women who deteriorate after marriage. There are the pren{‘ slin, daintily dressed young girls who were balm to a man's eyes before marriage, who let themselves get fat and sloppy after marriage, and who never think that it is worthwhile to comb their hair, or wash the cold cream off their faces, or put on a prétty frock for a mere husband. And there are the cheerful, gay young girls who were such good fun and seemed such good sports before marriage, who, after marriage, g°t neurotic and spend their time nursing their ailments and doping themselves up on self-pity, because they have to keep house and take care of their children and‘because they can’t have all of the luxuries that the wives of millionaires have. And there are the women who seemed bright and up-to-date and wide awake and intelligent when they were 20 whose mental growth stops when they marry. They never have another original idea as long as they live. They never read a worth while book or magazine. Their interests are bounded by their homes and their little circles. Their conversational repertoire extends from the kitchen to the nursery and back again. They make no effort to keep up d | with their husbands or to be ccmp:niom to them. . e s IT is no wonder that the man who married a living picture gets sick and tired of looking at her when she turns into a chromo. It is no wonder that a man gets weary of listening to the wails of & wife who is a whiner and complainer, d | and it is inevitable that a man should flee from the wife who bores him to tears by her babble about the cost of butcher's meat and the baby’s tooth and what the people next door are doing. But there is a large number of women who do not fall under any of these categories, whose husbands weary of them for no apparent reason. They have | kept themselves trim and neat. They are good housewives. They are pieasant jand amiable. They are quite as interesting and intelligent as their husbands, i yet their husbands do not disguise the fact that marriage has become an endur- ance test. Perhaps the explanation of this is to be found in the fact that marriage to thess men means bondage. It is not that they have any fault to find g:lth their wives. It is just the sense that they are no longer free that gets upon their nerves. It is the call of the wild that makes them want to leave home.

The reasons are as dro Cagliostro the King of Liars, and thought him an even greater prevarica- tor than Baron Munchausen. Munchausen, he said, was only “a liar from the teeth onwards” but Cagliostro lied “in thought, word and act, and, so to speak, lived wholly in an element of lying”: that is, Munchausen led for fun, Cagliostro toggain vast material successes. Cagliostro, living from 1743 to 1795, was one of the celebrated men of his day, and a figure so mysterious, so bizarre, that in his prime he was re- garded with peculiar awe in every country of Europe, not merely by the eommon horde but by those whose ad- vantages in life should have taught them better. By clever lying and intriguing he suc- ceeded in having himself credited with more than human powers. . He was even feared, for he spread ghbroad the im- ression that he was the head of an gwmble new system which penetrated all countries and allied all natiolalities. Cagliostro began life merely as Joseph Balsamo, son of Pietro Balsamo, a shop- keeper of Palermo. Even as a little child he spoke the truth only when it was to his advan- tage. [ His_father .died, and at 13 he was placed in a convent, where he had the care of the apothecary. Thus he gained some knowledge of medicine and chem- istry and laid the foundation for his future career. He did not care for convent life, and soon fled from it to become 28s0- clate of all the swindlers and gamblers of Palermo. He learned to counterfeit handwriting, to tell fortunes and deal in_magic. From Palermo he went to Greece, Egypt, Arabia, Persia, Rhodes and Malta. In Rhodes he took lessons in alohemy from Althotas, a Greek. Hav- ing heard that the grand master of the Knights of Malta was interested in alchemy, he presented himself to that individual as the Count Alessandro, Cagliostro and completely took him in.' The commander introduced him to thel great houses of Naples and Rome. Balsamo now began to rise. He mar- rled the beautiful but. unprincipled Lorensa Feliciana, and, dubbing her the Countess Seraphina, used her to entrap sch gentlemen, whom he swindled of enormous sums. Using his knowledge of chemistry, he devised love philters, elixirs of youth, mixtures that would make ugly women beautiful, and other decoctions, which he sold at high prices. He was particularly successful, he was adored by women of high Tank.

First, J want to tell you what I think may be the cause of night terrors. They may be caused by visiting unusual places and hearing terrifying tales. Although adults may not intend to frighten them. children remember these stories, which cause them to have bad dreams. “I always avoid discussion of a wor- risome nature in the presence of the children. I noticed my children were always restless at night after they had been awaye, from home. After I ob- served this I made an effort to get them hcme so they would have an hour or two in their usual surround- ings before bedtime. Then they were ready to go to bed, They are of school age now and are never out later than 8 o'clock. “Before they were of school age I used to let them play a game called ‘Go fishing’ with picture cards which I made. There were four of each alike in a suit and these had on them pic- tures of common objects like balls, or milk bottles, or fruits and so on, and under each I printed the name. After they had gllyed with these cards for six weeks I made new ones with only the name and not the picture and they recognized it at sight and the game went on as usual. They all read with- out trouble and it was no nerve strain, as it was just a game. “I have read everything I can find on the subject of children and so far have been successful with them. They are sometimes naughty at home, but I have the first time for them to embar- rass me in public.
