. WOMAN’S PAGE, S A R T O S L R S Brown in Effective Combinations BY MARY MARSHALL. * Unless you are very sure of your sense of color it is always better to wear a monotone ensemble than one combining several colors, and there is almost al- ‘ways more smartness about the costume that shows three tones of the same color than one that combines different colors. Brown is, of course, the most impor- tant color of the season, but brown is rather difficult to use with other colors. Brown has been combined effectively with green. There are new tweeds BEIGE JERSEY BLOUSE TRIMMED WITH BANDS OF TAN AND BROWN. WORN WITH BROWN LEATHER BELT. showing brown with a thread of green that are often becoming. But when one tries to combine brown with blue or red or orange trouble is imminent. Brown may be used with black ef- fectively—and this is a combination that French women favor and that is usually more becoming to women of characteristic French coloring than all and beige is becoming to almost any woman. "When this is worn the shoes should be brown and the stockings light brown, with gloves of beige and the hat should repeat one or more of the tones of brown. “How long should a 16-year-old schoolgir]l wear her skirts? Is'short hair as smart as longer hair for young girls? —Marian O'B.” For daytime skirts should cover the knees with two or three inches to spare. Party dresses may even be longer. Short hair and @ng hair are both smart, but half-grown hair, carelessly arranged, is a trifie passe. ‘This week’s circular gives diagram pattern and directions for making one round skirt portion.

He was touring with his wife, The| day was bright and warm, the road was | temptingly smooth and there were no speed signs visible. So he gave her the | gun. As he did so a small car dashed | by. The tourist bore more heavily on his_accelerator. | His car was larger than the one which had rushed by him bearing a single male driver. | Try as he would, though, the small- | er car contrived to keep in the lead. Mile after mile the l tourist sped along in a frantic effort | to pass the small machine. Gradual- ly he began to| overtake it. | Suddenly the | small car stopped | and the driver| emerged and yaved | to the tourfst to| 7|stop. The tourist | #]did so, and not | comment | on the manner in | which he had overhauled the other. “I'm an officer,” announced the driver of the small car, “and you have been exceeding the speed limit. Join me and see the justice of the peace.” Of course, the tourist was astonished. He will never race a strange car again. A e ‘There are times when all of us are absentminded, whether we believe it or | not; times when we think of nothing at all, and moments when we are think- ing of one thing while actually per- | forming another. * M AN ofFICERN ¥ ¥ A man entered a crowded elevator. | He wanted to get out at the sixth floor | and his mind was on a telephone call | he had to make immediately. Others were calling their floors. The absent-minded man suddenly | shouted, “Columbia 6220.” The pas- | sengers turned and stared in a startled fashion. The poor fellow, realizing his “boner,” blushed and then hastily ex- plained to the operator that he was | thinking of a telephone number. He didn't want his fellow passengers to think him a “nut.” % ki A man living in the Northwest sec- tion found himself in Rosslyn one night, because he absent-mindedly step- ped on the first car that came along. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not recognize the unfamiliar scenes. R It. is unfortunate that the visit of the British premier is to be so brief in this country. Unlike any other land, America offers the visitor greater vari- ation of scenes and color and people. In Britain the traveler finds none save English people. France has similar conditions, as do other continental and Oriental countries. One or two large cities in each for- eign land are characteristic of most of the others. Our own vast area offers a revelation in change of pace, climate and_scenes. The palm-studded State of Florida, the Prench influence of Louisiana, the Spanish architecture of California and the Scandinavian dwell- ers of the great Northwest, provide a never-ending source of wonder to the tourist who would see the country. The Mississippi Valley differs from Virginia as the Old Dominion differs from New England. ‘To know the United States one must live among its many people. e & One living example like Sergt.

Regardless of how | accurately his feat will be enacted this week—and there can be no doubt about “When I asked Scuffie how Fluff was itty | ¥nd 'ma told im under weight. of Washington 'ON FISHER. it—it never can truly describe the thrilling period York experienced in a lifetime of a few moments when he challenged the machine guns and their operators and brought home a unit of the Germany army. Ny Just the other night we heard of a certain sheriff in the Southwest. He wsa | a handsome young fellow towering over 6 feet. His face was bronzed by the desert sun and his hair was black and tousled. He carried two guns, each bearing notches; mute memorials of a number of lawiess gentry sleeping in unknown graves. He rode a gallant horse and stopped occasionally at the mines to exchange yarns with friends | and strangers. His English was ex- cellent. He w what is called “a cul- tured gentleman.” One evening, after pipes had been smoked and'stories related, he rode off _to the hills, Two days later he rode HE HAD THREE. into the mining TOUGH GREASERS camp with three | tough men shack- led to each other. He had taken the trio _single-hand- ed. He requested the mine superin- tendent to permit him space in which to “sleep” the men that night. Placing them on the floor of a shack, he bound them securely to- gether by means of thick ropes. ‘Then he fed them, after which he joined the mining men and laughed and sang with them. Next morning he left with his prisoners for a day's ride to his destination. He proved to be the son of an old Vir- ginia family. The spirit of adventure rather than the compensation was the intriguing motive. Most young Ameri- cans are like that. After suppir pop was smoking to himself and ma sed, Well Willyum, this is Wensday. Nobody remembers it better than 1 do, pop sed. Congratulations, he said. ‘What about? ma sed, and pop sed, your berthday, of corse. You needent think you can catch me that easily, he sed. Hee hee, Willyum, you certeny are a screem, ma sed.

October 2, 1854.—The Evening Star today moved into its new publication offices—a large brick building at the southwest corner of Pennsylvania ave- nue and Eleventh street. The structure is on the Avenue, one door from Eleventhr street. Owing to several incidents which were very annoying, but which rarely fail to accompany the taking down and reassembling of complicated and pon- derous machinery, it was found to be impossible to make either of the power presses do its duty at the usual hour of sundown. - All hands in and around The Star office took off their coats and worked long after the regular hours tonight in an effort to save the sub- seribers from complete disappointment. It was soon evident, however, that it would be impossible to print the papers in time for delivery this evening, and plans have been made to deliver them tomorrow morning. At midnight the first edition of The Star, printed in its new quarters, was just being worked off the presses. The Star says it does not expect to make another move for at least 10 years to come, and it begs its many “kind and lenient” patrons to bear with its_shortcomings on this occasion. The committee of the City Councils, appointed recently to proceed to New York and examine certain machines with a view to discovering the best plan for cleaning the Washington C}!)’ Canal, has returned. The committee consists of Messrs. Pepper and Clark of the Board of ‘ldermen and Messrs. J. W. Davis and George W. Plant of the Board of Common Council. They took along, as a practical engineer, S. S. Briggs of the Navy Yard. While desiring to examine various kinds of dredging machines, the mem- bers of the committee were particularly eager to see Fronde's steam dredging machine in operation. But unfortu- nately, when they arrived in New York, they found that Fronde's machine had blown up a short time before they got there. It is supposed that the explosion of this machine also exploded any notion which the members of the committee may have had of recommending it for use here. Before making recommendations, the committee intends to go to Alexandria. Va., and examine a dredging machine: in use there. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. You would Rrohlbly never think of looking through - your kitchen cupboard for an idea for a new lamp, but if you should start a search in this part of the house and discover a metal tea caddy which has been somewhat useless for a while, take it down and look it over carefully. In the illustration is shown a lamp { which has been made from a caddy. It as given a dull painted finish, trimmed with a touch of gold in the way of bands and dots, decorated with a French pic- ture pasted on the front and given a | coat of shellac. The caddy was then electrified and equipped with a parch- ment shade, the top and bottom being trimmed with a band in color to match | { the base of the shade. These bands and tiny leaves were outlined with gold. If the caddy is small enough to war- rant the use of a pair, these would be attractive at the ends of an informally designed sofa, but if the caddy is large, of course, only one could be used in a single room. = | ™ The base might be dull green, antique red, yellow or black, and the shade should be yellow to afford a rich glow.

Simply impossible for me to be candid when candor is spect fied. It implies the correspondent con- siders my regular view or opinions something else, and if that is so, what's the use? The quaint advice the tuberculosis specialist gave the patient is not worth 6 bucks in my judgment. Unless a patient is too weak to eat like common folks, there is nothing whatever to rrant the use of raw eggs—unless the patient happens to prefer 'em raw. As a rule tuberculosis , like other patients, prefer an egg fried, hard boiled or tortured. That's the way the patient should have ‘em. A cooked egg is not only more ap- etizing and more quickly disgestible, but t is actually more nourishing and hence more “strengthening” than a raw egg | because the raw albumen or white is not wholly digested, whereas cooking kills a kind of fermentlike substance in the raw albumen that prevents ready digestion of the substance. Of course a verv {ll patient may be made to swal- low raw egg in some fluid form when he could not eat a cooked egg, and any of us may down a half dozen 6r more raw eggs in a drink when we could scarcely eat 'em cooked. That's the only sensi- ble reason for prescribing raw eggs for anybody at any time. There's a lot of | traditional bunk about the effects of raw eggs that is so powerful it even im- | presses some specialists, it appears. This old-timer the correspondent con- sulted perhaps makes his office con- sultation fee 6 simoleons in order to| hold trade, which trends to the r np]!clllisu who soak patients 10 per talk. Any doctor who would warn a patient off from flaxseeds because of the alleged trouble that may befall if a seed hap- pens to egt into the appendix, and then uggest as a substitute a helping of the cow's breakfast—should be gently but firmly carried off to the home for super- annuated practitioners. It is a shame for him to take $6 from the unsophisti- cated patrons. I particularly commend to people who are subject to any trouble with the ppendix, or who fear they are, a daily dose of whole raw flaxseeds—from a teaspoonful to one or two tablespoon- fuls, washed down or swallowed with any food SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Bpecial Dispatch to The St HOLLYWOOD, Call ‘October (N.AN.A.).—Our town’s hig strawi festival was the birthday of Winfield Sheehan, appropriately celebrated by several hundred village celebrities at a midnight dinner. ‘When legions of the uninvited had been detected at the dining room doors, those who had been bidden to the feast settled down to two brass bands, speech making, dancing maidens bearing elec- tric-lighted birthday cakes, and spun- sugar plants with huge ice-cream roses. With plenty of snap provided by the usual ingredients, the speeches came off in fine fashion, Georgie Jessel acting as master of ceremonies. Raoul Walsh's speech was a masterpiece sof brevity. Said he: “Winfield Sheehan was once a news- paper reporter. Then he became a cop. In that way he got in with burglars and graduated into the motion picture in- dustry.” 2 As we progressed slowly up the aisle at the conclusion of “The Cock-Eyed World,” an indignant matron met an actor of the old school with the fol- lowing: “My dear man, if ever there was need for censorship, it is now. No perfect lady could sit through this thing with- out blushing.” And he: “My dear lady, no perfect lt&y tcould possibly know what to blush about.” Large Hollywood parties are taking on new savor. Guests are being announced with much unction.

For a sudden attack of colic, or the gentle relief of constipation; to allay a feverish condition, or to soothe a fretful baby that can't sleep. This pure vegetable prepa- ration is always ready to ease an ailing youngster. It is just as seated according to salaries.

In this instance the hair is parted in the middle, from the brow to the nape of the neck.

The effect is weirdly modish. In this hamlet that is the only way to be dif- ferent. Ladies have wired their bralds into shape like hirsute coronets; have allowed their locks to fall playfully on the shoulders; have tinted them all col- ors of the rainbow, and some that were ! ncver found in the solar spectrum.
