26 WOMA N’S PAGE Use of Selvedge in Place of Hem BY MARY ‘To use the selvedge of the material in place of a hem is such a simple, obvious thing to do that for generations dress- makers have carefully avoided doing it—that is, dressmakers as we know them. Simpler folk—nomad Arabs, South Sea Islanders, North American | BELVEDGE 1S USED TO FINISH THE FLOUNCES OF THIS BLACK SATIN DRESS, FINISHED WITH A COL- LAR OF ECRU LACE. Indians, for instance—have accepted selvedges for what they are worth, as you mni'usn for yourself in examining the clothing of primitive folk on exhibi- tion in any large art museum. The costume exhibits of ancient Egypt would show the same unwillingriess to make hems when the natural finish of the material would do just as well, and you MARSHALL. may remember, in your first childish attempt to make doll dresses, your own partiality to selvedges. Just why grown- ups cut off this perfectly good finish and then went to the pains of turning and sewing a fine hem may have puz- zled your childish mind. Now dressmakers are turning back to the obvious and, to an ever-increasing extent, we find selvedges used. Often this is done with tweeds and other woolen materials where the selvedge adds a border design as well as a neat finish. This season some of the French dressmakers have been using the sel- vedge of satin and velvet to finish the edge of skirt drapery, flounces and go- dets. Knee-length evening wraps made from satin or velvet are sometimes cut so that the material runs horizontally and the selvedge finishes the lower edge. Not only does this trick simplify the work of the dressmaker, but it assures a smooth arrangement of the material thlé would be impossible if a hem were made. If you have a last season's felt hat and would like to make it look quite up-to-date, send your stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and we will send you a diagram showing precisely how to cut and shape the old felt to make a hat of the new fashion.

There are some men and just as many women built on large Jines; they are great personalities; they _have character. They are the salt of the earth; in terms of personality they tower above the average. Though we ‘can’t measure it, we feel it in their presence; and there is no common measure to apply to the many differ- ent patterns of superiority by which human stature is obtained and ex- pressed. We are left more or less to impression, and we are not all equally impressed by the same traits, virtues, talents, graces, excellences of all sorts that go into the making of a great human, We are fortunate if we know some of the humanly great, and equally fortunate if we can recognize them when in their presence. It is natural and proper that we should think of the great men and ‘women of all times as of extraordinary human statures; and many of them ‘were s0. Their achievements show it; ‘the intimate accounts of how they lived and wrought show it. But achievement alone is no index of greatness, and some very important discoveries, in- ventions, enterprises, contributions historically significant, have been made by quite ordinary men. And some really great men and women have n:?leved moderately or not even not- ably. The typical case which biographers like to discuss is that of Lincoln. There is no question that Lincoln was great | in human stature: he towered above -men psychologically as he did physi- cally, and a bit gaunt in both respect: Events so brought it about that every body in all lands knows about Lincoln's human stature. But suppose he had remained a country lawyer, his stature would have been just the same. He would have been a great man, for he was built on great lines. But would his neighbors have recognized his great- ness? And if a rare one had expressed the opinion that this Abe Lincoln whom they all knew was really quite a man, would he have been regarded as queer? It's an_interesting speculation at all events. It's rather an easy biograph- ical trick to magnify a small man into a big one because he happens to have become conspicuous, especially in these days in which front-page notoriety has distorted our judgment. pleading for in behalf of mental fitness is the critical power to judge men by their real qualities, to recognize those of extraordinary human stature whether the world does so or not. Certainly there are far more such persons than the ones who have their blographies written; and some pretty small men have had that honor, if it be one. Those great in intellect have the best chance for the reason that their works can, as a_rule, be pointed to; though many of these are not ap- preciated until after they are gone. Some one achievement may enroll a man in the hall of fame. Officeholders MOVIES A! of any kind have the largest chance to have their personalities overrated. A | small man can hold a big office; | democracy proves that if nothing else. | Bui _greatness in human relations, | which contributes more to human stat- | ure than anything else, is all too often, I won't say neglected or that it blos- soms wholly unseen and unrecognized, lacking in the full measure of appre- ciation. It is fortunately true that frequently one whom the world knows as distin- fulshed is also known to a small circle for the true human stature tI is re- sponsible for that distinction. And here and there you will find both in biographies and in the human lives that you encounter, a similar small circle who appreciate the superior hu- | man stature of one of their group. | They have no intention or desire to cry it from the housetops; they just | appreciate it, and their good fortune in knowing to what heights human na- | ture can rise. The best name we have |for it is again that derived from its intellectual expression. We call these great ones men of genius, as though na- ture once in a while brought into flower A specimen of so much rarer worth than even the superior run, that all that the rest of us can do is to fall down and worship. And hero worship is & valuable trait so long as it is expended upon the right objects. We have to have ideals and people to look up to and examples to emulate. Men and women of large human stature serve a most important socfal purpose; they make life seem worth living. All of us are better hu- mans for knowing a few of extraordi- nary human stature.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 4| (N.AN.A) —Hollywood has gone poly- glot, this Pall, with nearly every studio | making a foreign version of some pic- tire designed to be an outstanding hit on both sides of the Atlantic According to Arthur Loew, here to confer on foreign releases, the European Iots are planning a few retaliatory measures by making some English ver- sions of their super-epics. | Of the 2,000 wircd theaters across the Atlantic 750 are in England, which helps | out our present predicament of world | films mightily.

Mrs. E. H. writes: “Will you answer a few questions about my baby? How many hours of sleep does an 8-month- old baby require? How y feedings of milk a day? What makes her jump in her sleep? At what age should she make an attempt to sit up, to creep? What is an 8-month-old baby sup- posed to weigh? Answer—I am going to give you the picture of a typical 8-month-old baby and then you can compare your own baby with this. The 8-month-old child who weighed 7 pounds at birth will weigh 14 pounds at 5 months and be- tween 17 and 18 pounds at 8 months. He will have four feedings a day—a milk feeding or nursing at 6 o'clock in the morning. orange juice about 9 o'clock, cereal and nursing or bottle feeding at 10, vegetable soup, zweiback and part of a bottle feeding or nursing at 2, or sleved vegetables instead of the soup. At 6 at night there will be another cereal feeding, nursing or bot- tle, then baby is put to bed for the night. At 10, or some time between 10 and 2 in the morning, there will be another feeding, usually, though some well fed bables sleep all night. Sleeping from 6 until 6 with one feed- ing is about 11!> hours at night and there is usually a 2-hour nap in the morning, perhaps longer than that, and a short nap of one-half to one hour in the afternoon. The average would be about 13 to 15 hours of sleep in the 24. The average baby makes an attempt to pull himself to a sitting position at 5 months. He should be able between 6 and 7 months to sit straight without any support. He will be yearning to creep between 8 and 9 months or per- haps a little later. It depends a great deal on the opportunity the baby has to creep (on the floor) and his genera! physical strength and development. I have a feelinw from reading your letter that your own baby is not making an attempt to sit up or creep and 8s you said only “what milk feedings, there may be real connection between her apparent backwardness and the meagerness of her present diet.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The small study which adjoined the large living room in the Page house was not shut off by doors. Nancy had seen some arched doorways which in- terested her, because they seemed more welcoming, less formal than the regu- lation shape and size doorway. The architect had agreed and had placed a shaped molding about the rounding doorway. Sometimes this molding is elaborately carved or grooved. But that type of finish calls for a more elaborate home than had planned. Once the doorway was installed, came the question of curtaining. How should the rounding top be treated? Portieres or hangings were chasen. On the study side a curtain rod was put up, so_that it was just above the bot- tom of the highest part of the curve. This made the ends at least a foot above the curve. Naturally, the rod was a straight piece of metal.

Patent Office. the League of Nations was a political movement or a new brand of canned goods! Who is as innocent as a babe unborn of Hoover's policies and disarma- ment and the prohibition question. Who never knows what Mussolini is doing and would never hear of it if kingdoms fell and earthquakes destroyed cities, and men and women who have made history died! Who would never know Babe Ruth’'s batting average, or whether the stock market was up or down! ‘Who wouldn't know anything at all except the price of butchers’ meat and green groceries and that the washwoman came or didn't come, and what the children did and sald, and the gossip that some woman whispered to her over the back fence! Nobody can keep up a sustained conversation with such persons. Nobodv can be interested in the society of an individual whose whole interests are con- fined to the narrow range of personal experience and who never has a new idea or new thought or a fresh topic to discuss. It is because 5o many women never read the newspapers that home life gets so dull and that the average family sits up of an evening in a silence so thick that you could cut it with a knife. There is literally nothing to say to a wife who doesn't know a thing except that the baby has cut a new tooth and eggs have gone up 5 cents a dozen and Mrs. Jones says that Mrs. Smith's husband stayed out last night until 3 o'c)ock.. e S a matter of fact, before marriage it is optional whether a girl reads the newspapers or not, but after marriage it is a necessity. Before marriage a girl can get by with a pretty face and cuddly ways. It doesn’t make any diffence whether she has a conversational line or not, because all that the man wants to hear from her is about how big and wonderful and handsome he is and how much she loves him and how she would die if anything happened to him. Gone are the days when a husband was satisfled with a good, little, stupid fool if she was affectionate. Men demand more than that of their wives now. ‘They want wives who are intelligent and up to the minute, who can enter into all of their hopes and plans and with whom they can discuss everything | from the base ball score and a new book to the latest thing in airplanes and the newest political scandal. ‘The old advice given to brides used to be: “Feed the brute.” That still holds good, but the modern husband requires to be fed mentally as well as physically. Filling him up on corned beef and cabbage does not suffice. He must also be sustained on conversation. R ANOTKER reason why every married woman should read her daily paper is because it is the only way in which she can keep house and run her family intelligently. In its advertising columns she will find a reliable guide as to how and where to spend her money 80 as to get the most value out of every dollar. It will tell her where the bargains are to be had, who is overstocked on such and such an article and has cut the price in half, who has got in the latest new models from Paris. Millions of newspaper-reading women realize this as is attested by the line of keen-eyed ladies, with their pocketbooks firmly gripped in their hands, that wait the opening of every store that has advertised a special rate on something. More than that, the daily paper not only teaches a woman how to buy economically, but what to buy. It trains her eye and cultivates her taste. It teaches her about colors and fabrics and lines and stylds, and that is why the newspaper-reading American women are taking them h?r and large, the best- dressed women in the world and not only up with the style, but about three laps ahead of it. It is only the women who are too busy to read the papers who are frumpy and old-fashioned and who will still be wearing knee-length skirts when everybody else’s trail the ground. No mother can afford not to read the newspdpers, because every day in them she will find articles telling her in simple terms about how to keep her youngsters well and healthy, how to feed them, how to deal with child psychology. And her daily paper is also a mirror of the world for which she must prepare her children, for it reflects the life of today with its changed point of view, its altered customs, its different standards, and only by being wise to these can she armor her sons and daughters against the temptations they are bound to meet. A woman not have time to read the daily paper after she is married! it is the most umportant duty of her day. time for. Why, It is the one thing she has always DOROTHY DIX. (Cepyright, 1929 D. C. PEATTIR. ‘There are two chief ways of thinking about birds. You can love to look at them and you can love to eat them, such of their tribe as are fat and gamey. The woodcock in the Spring, the bob-white in the Summer, the wild duck in the Autumn and the partridge in the snow—they tempt the sports- man's rifle and their little cold car- casses are hung for sale in many a market. The law and common sense both testify that Autumn is the hunts- man’s season, for now the young are safely reared and the older birds, very fat from a Summer’s feeding, are on their way south. Between ornitholcgists and sportsmen there is very little love lost, and every year at this time I hear appeals from both sides. A person gave offense to a friend and host_because he declined the partridges the latter had so proudly shot. His ar- guments, however, were inconsistent, since he eats tame ducks, geese and turkey, and the distinction was flimsy. We would all revolt at eating nightin- gales’ tongues, but a Spring chicken has just as much right to live as the rarest songster on earth. If nightin- gales could be domesticated we would show them no mercy, outside of going into absolute vegetartanism. So, after long siding with the nat- uralists and bird lovers, I have come to take the view that the position of the hunter who kills no more than he can eat and who obeys the laws of his State, which are framed in a general way to protect the race and not to allow decoys like hunting with a light at night, that kills excessive numbers of birds, is not easily assailed. We cannot expect a sportsman to do much more than obey the laws, and if the laws aren't right all that we naturalists need to do is to band together and get action. ‘The commercial hunter, however—the man who kills immense numbers of ducks on the Potomac and sells them in the markets—competes with the farmer who has worked hard and pald out a lot to fatten his domestic fowls for the holiday trade. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. In the fllustration is shown a piece that is just the answer to the question: “What shall use in my first-floor dressing room?” 1In fact, it would be appropriate for a small dressing room in any part of the house; but particularly for those who have made a first-floor closet into an attractive little “make- up” room would it be ideal, as it is so very compact. The top folds down, the stool slips beneath it, and the whoi> thing takes up no more room than a small table. ‘When wanted for use a few seconds only are required to pull out the stool and tip up the top. Then there is a mirror at just the right angle, and a box, which is the top of the table, hold- ing all the necessary cosmetics.

He never really knew how much he owed. He persuaded a friend, Charles Gre- ville, to put his affairs in order. In this connection a famous anecdote is told of him. {éfler & preliminary survey Greville said: “This task is not going to be &s diffi- cult as I thought it would.” He quickly changed his mind, for the | next morning he received a note from Alvanley. It said: “I quite forgot yesterday to tell you of a debt of 50,000 pounds.” One of this lord’s whims was to have an apricot tart on his table every day of the year—an expensive taste at that time. He spared no expense on his cuisine and his dinners were the best in England. ‘To his intimates at White's Club Alvanley proposed a dinner at which the inventor of the most costly dish should dine at the cost of the others. He won hands down by ordering a concoction that cost 100 pounds. It was a fricassee made of the small pleces of flesh at each side of the back of fowls, of which 13 varieties and 200 specimens were used. Included were 100 snipe, 40 woodcocks and 20 pheas- ants. Alvanley was a popular man in his own_set, and when Daniel O’'Connell, the Irish patriot, known as the Libera- tor, referred to him in the House of Commons as “a bloated buffoon” there was_considerable indignation.
