TH’E diplomat bachelor in Washing- ton—life for him is a continuous eocktail, song and dance. That is, if he wants it to be. ut whether he desires it or not, it more than likely is, just the same. Highly desirable and in constant de- mand are these men. The rising bond salesman, the ingratiating broker or the social-mind- ed realty man must [} be constantly on guard to say the right thing to the ? right person at the right time to se- cure invitations to the right places. But not the dip- lomatic pachelor. He need have no concern as to his social future in Washington. His position speaks for him. His name ap- pears on the first list of eligible bache- Jors. All the social” bureaus keep him on file. For many years the British embassy has led in the number of bachelors on its staff. Matrimony, however, has made deep inroads of late, and the embassy now is noted especially for its attractive young married couples. The bachelor quota has been reduced to five. The Italian embassy at present is in the ascendancy in this respect. It has gone into a tie with the French em- bassy—each having six. Just_a day or two ago there arrived at the Italian embassy a young man wio is to be the successor of the popular Nobile Pio Macchi dei Conti de Cellere— more briefly, Count di Cellere, who is & bachelor. 1 The newcomer’s name is Carlo Andrea Scardi. The social bureaus are passing out the information to those interested that he is— “A dazzling blond—tall and blue- eve Evidently from the North of Ttaly—the same section which fair- haired, blue-eyed Mme, de Martino, wife of the Italian Ambassador, calls her native heath. He is only 25 years old and is just starting out in his career of diplomacy. He came from Rome, where he has been on duty.” A sufficient description to make the heart of any debutante flutter. And if M. Scardl so chooses he is in for a busy Winter. Patlence—that one indispensable vir- Bue of the man who figures in public life. Take, for example, the occasion when Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War during Wilson's_ administration, was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal in Washington recently. He had to go through the ceremony four dif- ferent times. The first time it was a strictly private affair, The second time it was for the benefit of the press photographers. The third time it was for the news reel photographers. ‘The fourth time (and over much pro- test) it was for the talkies. ‘There is at least one member of the United States Senate who advertises the fact that he is a member of that body. In front of the residence of Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, on Ridge road in Washington, there are two illumi- | nated gate post globes announcing: SENATOR PITTMAN. Bits of gossip picked up from the Capitol to the White House: Mrs. Hoover has ideas of her own as to handshaking. And they evidently are in accord with those of her husband, whose dislike for the practice is well own. The other day a group of geologists was received at the Executive Mansion by the First Lady. She made a little talk to her guests and as she departed from the room gave them what she de- scribed as a “Chinese handshake.” “A “Chinese handshake” consists of wl'flngmz one’s own hand in a fervent clasp. |1 only a semi-hot iron is required. scorches quickly, and is made tender if too hot an iron is employed.

If a heavy garment is in danger of having moth eggs develop in it, it is subjected to steam through the use of a very damp ironing cloth and an iron as hot as the material will stand.

Nancy had rearranged her kitchen plans as _she suggested to herself re- cently. By putting the table where the cabinet had been placed she lessened the number of steps she would have to take. She could now get a meal by taking food from refrigerator to sink or to center table. ¥f it needed wash- ing at sink it was then moved to table near door. This allowed her to fix her salads or fruits in the cool part of the kitchen. She mixed foods like muffins at the cabinet, took the muffin tins from the under part of cabinet and then stepped to stove and popped them in the oven. Her movable center table saved her many steps since it was on casters and could be shifted from place to place. Nancy wes puzzled over the finish for walls and floor. She had about de- cided on an inlaid linoleum for floor. | Since this was their own home the; i planned to stay “put” for years.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Interested reader writes—“I come to you, like so many others, for advice. My baby boy is 2 months old and is & bottle-fed baby. How much should he weigh at this age? How much water should he take a day? I have to make him take water. Should it be warm or is it alright to give it cool? What can I do to make him gain? Should I give him sunbaths?” nswer—His present weight is entire- ly dependent on his birth weight. The average baby takes 10 days to get back to his birth weight, after which he gains from B to 6 ounces weekly. Sometimes there is a week or two of no gainin after being started on an artificial food, but he usually makes up this loss when he has become accustomed to the new type of food. He gets a great deal of water in his formula and as you gave me no propor- tions for his formula, I can't tell you whether he gets enough or not. Water may be given either warm or cool. Cool is more appetizing, as Warm water is nauseating. ‘The only way he can be “made” to gein is to give him a formula that is suited to his age and weight and also the additional foods as the age for them arrives. I shall be hlpgy to send you a leaflet on feeding that deals with these matters in detall. You may find there that his present formula isn't nourishing enough. ‘This Winter he will need sunbaths daily and it is best to start them now and keep them up after e weather turns cooler. In addition, he will need cod liver oil all Winter, as it is this first Winter of a baby's life, spent in the house without much air or sun- light on the skin, that so often results in rickets. Bables who spend their early months in the Summer season are much less apt to develop this. Mrs. T. G, J. writes—"“My baby 1s 10 months old anc has been fed exclusively on lactic acid milk. Now that Winter is coming I would like to change to sweet milk. How can I do this without danger to his digestion?” Answer—There are two ways in which this change may be accomplished. Each morning when making up the baby's formula take out a drop of acid. This can be increased to two drops a day and in a month's time or less the acid will have been extracted from the form- {ula and sweet milk used entireiy. Or, one may offer a sweet milk form- ula at one meal a day and lactic acid ones at all the rest. In a week offer two sweet milk feeding and so on until baby is used to the sweet milk. Either change would be gradual enough so that there would be no danger attached to it. BRAIN TESTS is a test of progressions or logi- cal sefjuence. Take the numbers 1, 2 3, 4,5, 17 8 9.

Pompadour, who had been the mistress of her hus- band, Louls XV, the good Queen Marie of France wrote to President Henault: “She is no more thought of than if she had never existed. So goes the | world; is it worth loving?” But if Pompadour was quickly for- gotten, she had caught to herself the pleasure of flying high tor a long time. Brainy and quick-thinking, she had triumphed over others by her wits. 8he had always had the good sense to show the queen marked deference, as though to apologize for having gained | pin preference over the unloved Marie. And 80 the queen had remaarked: “As there must be & mistress at Versailles, better she than another.” our was the daugh- Mme.

She kept her hold on Louis by her wit an her ability to amuse him. One of her famous sayings arose from the defeat of the French army at Rossbach. She was sitting for her portrait to La- tour, the pastel painter, when the King, | obviously distressed, brought in the news. “Why are you distressed?” she asked. “After us the deluge!” She objected to a passage in Jean Jacques Rousseau’s “Emile,” which said that “the wife of a coalheaver is more estimable than the mistress of a king.” But she could not get him to elide it. ally she said, “Make it read ‘mis- tress of a prince.’” Rousseau agreed to this subtle distinction. She jested in the hour of death. The priest administered the sacra- ment, bade her farewell and prepared to leave. She said with a smile: “Wait & moment, M. le Cure, and we shall go out together!” Pompadour was clever enough to bring Louis XV other friends when she perceived he was a bit weary with her. For a brief period she permitted her friend, Mme. d’Esparbes, a witty but flighty young beauty, to cagtlvlle ‘him, One day Louis reproved this lady be- cause she had had so many intrigues.

But the sexes are just as far apart as they were in the Garden of Eden or the cave or wherever it was they set up the first hauukeepu'nl.

There's a family resemblance between them, but their mifds are different. A woman may be able to take a man’s point of view to a certain extent, but you can't expect a man to return the compli- ment and view the world through wom- an’s eyes.
