w OMAN’S PAGE. Metal Cloths for Evening Wear BY MARY MARSHALL. Prediction comes drifting this way from Paris that metal cloths of various sorts are to usurp the place of velvets for evening wear, and from several sources comes the information that there are numerous new sorts of metal fabrics that are even more lovely than any we have ever seen before. My own opinion is that there is room | in the picture for both velvets and or gold, bronze and other metals, Vel- vets give the effect of softness, while metal materials are rather hard. For this reason the woman whose features and coloring are both a little hard than otherwise looks better in velvet, and the woman whose features and color- ing are not quite so well defined as she might wish may find many ad- vantages by choosing one of the metal materials. This week's circular will help you in your last-minute Christmas gift-mak- ing. It shows how to make an attrac- tive purse with a patent slide fastener | which may be bought mounted on tape at any notion counter for small cost. The purse itself is made of silk, cloth, velvet or brocade and would be appre- ciated by any young girl or woman on your Christmas list. Just send your stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, and | it will be forwarded to you. (Copyright. 1920.)

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI The China Cup. On the old walnut dresser there stands a little white cup with a gold band about its rim. Its mellowed glaze gives it a touch of benevolence borne out by the legend, in golden, old Eng- lish lettering, that glistens on its placid surface, For & Good Child. A lovely white china cup, with golden bands and golden legends, for a good child. 1 am so glad the good child got that cup. I can see him standing beside the table turning it round and round in the lamp light—father brought the cup home from town on one of his rare trips ! smile of gratification spreading over his innocent face as he | spells out the legend. . “How kind of father to remember you, son. For a good boy. You'll have to be better than ever now that you have such a lovely cup. We'll keep it right here on the dresser shelf so you can see it every day and remember what your father thinks of you,” and mother washed the token in warm water with Jjust a dash of soap, polishing it on one of indmother’s old fine towels. “There now. Doesn't it look grand?” I can see them now, all three, looking at the treasure, the child in sweet con- tent, serene in the knowledge that he owned a new treasure and that it meant that father approved of him and mother liked him a lot. Father and mother | smiling down at the little chap, a sor- row scarce veiled in their smiling eyes. Soon, so soon, he would grow up and away and beyond the limits of the home that adored him, but, please God, he should never go beyond the love that filled the treasured cup. And, of course, he never did. The years went by and the little cup on the dresser seemingly forgot- ten except on the days when mother held a special cleaning. Then it was washed and polished and returned to its place on the old dresser. One morning she hesitated before it and father asked her what was the matter. “I've been thinking. Do you know, father, I think she could be trusted with it. And I think he'd like it. You know it is his really. He only left it here because he thought I'd miss it so0. He'll be wanting to pass it along to Junior and I believe the child de- serves it. I do indeed, John. I believe Tl take it over to her this afternoon.” “Just as you please, Mary. Just as you please. I can see him yet standing there by the table, turning it round and round in his hands, so pleased. He was always a good boy. Always. As you say, it's his own cup. Maybe Junior'd like to own it. Just as you say, mother.” I wonder if they make those cups any more? For a good child. Well, if they don't, they ought to, for there is great need of them in this world of lovely children. And oh, how much they can mean. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. There always has been the problem of taking care of shoes. First the closet floor was the only solution to the problem, and, this proving more or less confusion, there were pockets made of flowered material. These accommo- dated several pairs of shoes and were | tacked to the closet door. In fact, this | 4s now a very popular method of taking care of shoes, but with a general over- hauling of closets and their decorative schemes, there comes a new idea. In the illustration is shown an ideal rack for shoes. It is entirely of metal, will accommodate more than a dozen pairs of shees and is very easy to lift and place in different positions. The finish may be any color which will harmonize or contrast with the scheme of the closet (and, of course, every closet has a particular color | scheme) and the shoe trees should be to match this rack Wasted Breath. We waste much breath upon chil- dren; breath that might better be used teach them indirectly what they can never learn directly. A child makes a mistake and then covers it by telling a lie. That is a very normal situation as you very well know by experience. Now instead of preach- ing a long sermon about the sin of falsehood—and so wasting your breath —take time out to study why the child told the lie. Then think how you can arrange the situation so that he need not tell another lie. That's the point. Make lying unnecessary and the lying will cease. How? That has to be de- cided by the conditions presented by the child and his environment. There is always a reason for the lie. Remove the cause first. Then teach indirectly by good stories told at the time when the child's mood is receptive; not when he is dwelling under the shadow of disgrace, of punishment, of fear. If a child takes what is not his, keep calm. It is only a waste of breath and precious energy to scold and exhort and moan and threaten. Think about the action. Why did he do it? Don't ask him. That's wasted breath. He does not know. If he had sufficient l’,"“’" of analysis to be able to explain is own conduct you would not be troubled by it. He would be advising you instead. Study the situation. This child wanted something he did not have. Maybe it is fun he is longing to enjoy and he is being deprived of for some reason or other. Maybe he is failing in school and wants to show off a little before his mdtes so as to regain his standing among them. Maybe he is unhappy at home because he is not as bright, not as forward, not as popu- lar as his brothers and sisters. ere's a reason. Find it and then do your teaching indirectly, preferably through stories told at the right time, in the right way. Direct teaching_of moral truths does very little good, I am persuaded. An indication that the child has made a mistake. A span of silence to let that idea sink into his consciousness. Then an adjustment made—if possible— without any excitement or harsh words. Then steady, day by day instruction indirectly. This indirection is managed by setting the environment to do what your words cannot do. You go to church and Sunday school and take the children along as a matter of course, You indicate your reverence of good, of sacred things, throughout your dsily course. You behave in a way that makes a background for the child’s idea of rightness. You tell lit- tle stories about good men and women, live ones if possible, to make the child conscious of the contrasts between good conduct and bad. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

NANCY PAGE Blankets Make Robes and Crib Quilts. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy could not wait until Christ- mas morning to give wee Peter one of hi, gifts. She knew that Christmas meant nothing to him, anyway. He was too little to get excited about Santa Claus and Christmas stockings hanging at the fireplace. Then, too, the weather had turned sharply cold. He needed the new robe which she had made. It 50 happened that early in her married life when she had not yet learned to do three or four things simultaneously she had burned a hole in a nice, woolly blue blanket. That had spoiled the blanket for use. She had packed it away in her mothproof closet. Just & few days before she had had an in- spiration. She bought a pattern for a straight- line little robe. She also purchased some blue grosgrain ribbon of the same shade. The robe was trimmed with a band of the ribbon on the sleeves and down the fronts. The same ribbon was used for tie at the neck. The original blanket had been a large one. She had enough material left over to make a crib blanket for Lois' store of future necessities. This crib blanket was bound in washable blue ribbon. Wee Peter's grandmother had found some small lambs’ wool slippers. They were made with the fleecy side inside. ‘The toes were ornamented with rabbit faces, Fortunately, Mrs. Lee had pur- chased the slippers two sizes larger than the shoes the baby wore. Children outgrow baby things so quickly that it is foolish to get them just the right size. The extra size made the slippers easy to &lip into, and once in them the wool kept them securely on the baby's feet. Wee Peter adored them.

NOTED WELL BECKONED EMPHATICALLY The following story, concerning an experience of Rev. Russell H. Conwell, one of the most noted clergymen of the }s:t half century, seems almost incred- e. Dr. Conwell, in relating it, had only one fear—that others should put into it an interpretation which he did not himself give to it. Nevertheless, it was on: of the most interesting incidents of a highly interesting career. This is saying a great deal, for Dr. Conwell was formerly pastor of the Baptist Temple in Philadelphia; founded Temple Uni- versity and for a long timc served as its president; established two hospitals: wrote a number of books and was popular_as a lecturer, a capacity in ich he earned about a milion and a half dollars to be devoted to the edu- cation of poor young men. He was an old man when the inci- dent occurred. Yet it was not until many years later, in 1925, that he died. He then was 83. Every morning he_had a dream just before he rwoke. It was a pleasant dream. The figure of Mrs. Conwell, who had been dead for some time, sat smiling at the foot of his bed—"as real as life,” he says—and talked with him | in the most casual way. These dream talks were so natural as to seem real. But he felt they must be a delusion attendant upon old age and 50 _he mentioned them to no one. One morning the conversation seemed to run like this: He—I know you're not really there. She—Oh, but I am! He—But how can I be sure? Are you willing that I should test you? She (smiling)—Yes. He—All right; tomorrow I will ask you 8 question. The next morning the conversation continued: He—I see you have come. Are you still wlmnil? smiling and nodding)—Yes. ‘He—Tell me, then, where is my Army discharge papers? (He had not seen this document for years and did not recollect its whereabouts.) She—Why, it is in the black japanned box behind the books in your library. He got out of bed and investigated. The box was where she had indicated, and in it he found the discharge PR third morning their interchange went on: She (triumphantly)—You see it was there, just as I told you; now will you believe? He (still doubtful)—May I make an- other test? She—Certainly. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOS. J. FRISCH. &/ PARIS.—This Molyneux suit, mesdames, is ‘The capes merely cover the arms.

AND WOMEN FOR HIM TO LOOK ONCE MORE. At® breakfast he pondered the new experiment. He instructed Mary, a maid who had been in the family 14 years, to take a gold fountain pen, given to him by Mrs. Conwell man; years before, from his desk and hide it. He added that she was not to tell him or any one else where she put it. The next morning, when Mrs. Con- ‘well appeared, he asked: i you know where Mary hid my | each layer of meat. an you tell me the place?” | “Get out of bed and come with me,” | she answered. | He obeyed and, as if hol her | hand, went with her. She led | one of the closets in his room. She motioned him to look on the top shelf. | He stood on a chair and ran his hand | over the shelf, but without finding the | pen. Again he felt, sadly, that all this pleasant contact had been a delusion. But, as he started to get down from the 'chair, Mrs. Conwell beckoned em- | phatically for him to look once more. | He obeyed. Far back on the shelf his | hand encountered the pen! | Dr. Conwell was convinced that there | has always been too much vague talk- ing and thinking on the subject of man’s relation to another world. Conse- quently he never sought to make any explanation of this occurrence. It should be stated, however, that he did have a conviction of another life, based to some degree on observations made at the bedsides of many dying persons. MONDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1929. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Life Patterns. ‘There are two ways of sizing up per- sonality, so far as personality can be sized up. One way is to appraise the individual from the standpoint of external ap- pearances. This method has given rise to & lot of ridiculous theories, such as phrenology, craniognomy, graph- ology, palmistry. Some so-called in- telligent people will not only fall for this foolishness, but will actually take a hand in its popularization. We might gl] this the “method of first impres- jons.” ‘The other method searches for some- thing inside the individual in terms of past performances. It carefully investi- gates the history of the individual in order to find out what his emotional life-pattern may be. In this way it is hoped that one may say what a person now is and predict what he may be- come. ‘This takes time. How often have you discovered that your first impression was a grand mistake? If you have ever found it necessary to readjust your im- pressions of the same individual two or three times, you may appreciate what we shall here call the “method of re- peated appraisement.” This method will in time reveal life patterns, some- thing you can depend upon. ‘To list a few common life patterns: 1. There are people who are always asking: “What does this get me?” Study them and you will soon get an index to their character and personality. Just to give these ple a name, let us say that they long to a class dominated and motivated by an eco- nomic life pattern. 2. There are those who are ever seek- ing to break into some society of some sort. They wear a lot of buttons, talk about the mysteries of this order and that, speak of the “big doings” of this club and that. They belong to the so- cial climber class. They are victims of a social climbing life pattern. 3. Then there are those who worship at the feet of a certain Moloch called power. They talk of “influence,” of their intimate knowledge of the great and near-great. They belong to the “will to power” life pattern. ‘There is, of course, an indefinite number who have no ambition of any sort. They belong to no class. Having no life pattern, they are indiviluals minus the something called personality. (Copyright, 1929.) Cocoxm‘t Cheese Tarts. Mix half a package of cream cheese with four tablespoonfuls of cream, three-fourths cupful of dates cut fine, a pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of orange juice or lemon juice, and half a cupful of shredded coconut. Beat until light with a fork. Cut one and one-half inch pastry rounds, then cut half of these again with a smaller cut- ter, leaving the rim about three-eighths of an inch wide. Wet one side of these and place them on the whole rounds. Prick well and bake in a hot oven until a delicate brown. Just before serving fill the centers lightly with the cheese mixture and top with half a teaspoonful of bright jelly. o Coddled Steak. Use round steak or one of the cheuper' cuts. Cover the bottom of a pan with a thin layer of steak, season with salt and cover with crumbs. Add alternate layers of steak and crumbs and salt A little minced onion or powdered sage may be added in the way of seasoning, if desired. Place in a steam cooker and steam until tender, which will require from 45 min- utes to 2 hours, according to the amount and quality of the meat. This is whole- some and delicious.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Correct Posture. ‘The young girl who wrote® recently saying that she seemingly had no par- ticular disfigurements to her beauty, at present, but merely wanted to know how to retain her youth and beauty is a wise girl. When one is young and the world seems so full of nothing but loveli- ness and joy, the time when one may have to conserve these things seems too far distant even to be considered. Like the proverbial grasshopper who frittered away his summer and then had to beg sustenance from the thrifty ant when the snow and colds of winter had come, so the average girl is pretty apt to be careless about the beauty which is the heritage of youth. In- stead of trying to find ways to keep her loveliness, she may wait until sud- denly her mirror heartlessly tells her that her face is becoming etched with tiny wrinkles, the scowl line between the eyes has deepened and careless- ness in posture has taken away that charming girlish figure. How to keeF the complexion fresh and young will be taken up in a later article. Today let us discuss that most important question of posture. For truly In the desire to make the most of one's beauty or to retain the charm of youth, learning the practice of cor- rect carriage is half the battle. An in- correct, slovenly way of carrying the but also has a very detrimental effect on one's health. In the first ;;xllncz it prevents deep and free breathing. It also allows the internal organs to sag into unnatural positions, thus inter- fering with their normal functions. The outline of the figure becomes ugly: the abdomen protrudes, shoulders be- come rounded, chests hollow and chins double. Correct posture is really not diffi- cult and milady should make it a constant habit to sit correctly, stand correctly and walk correctly. This habit will do more to hold the years at bay than any other single beauty program she might follow. Hold th> figure as tall as possible, chin up, chest out and abdomen in. Such a posture actually makes the body a little taller and slimmer, while a slouching car- riage of the body emphasizes any ten- dency toward surplus flesh at throat, bust or abdomen. HORT, dark, always immaculately groomed, Manuel C. Tellez looks after the iriterests of Mexico in Wash- ington from the great mansion at the crest of Sixteenth street. For four years he has borne, the title of Ambassador Ex- traordinary and Plenipotentiary to the United States —the most impor- tant post in the "Mexican diplomatic service. Early in 1930 Ambassador Tellez reer diplomat —will reach the pinnacle of his ca- reer. When Sir Esme Howard quits as Great Britain's Ambassador to the UnitedStates, Senor Tellez be- comes dean of the diplomatic corps in Washington. . Hernan Velarde, Peduvian Ambassador, is next in line, but he has already announced that he is to quit his post. A coveted honor among diplomats is the deanship. Especially is it to be de- sired by a Mexican Ambassador. Senor Tellez is more than the mere correct product of foreign office ing. Diplomacy claimed him at the age {of 21, and he saw service in Japan, | China and other countries before com- ing to Washington as first secretary of the@Mexican embassy in 1920.

Along with doing away with the slump in body will be sure to find that on's feeling of depression and gloom also has a tendency to dis- appear. Correct posture has a way of making one feel, “I cannot be defeated: I was meant to win!” An excellent way to keep the figure youthful is to walk reguiarly out of doors. A woman in good health should be able to enjoy walking four milss a day. During the walk be sure to hold the figure as tall as possible. Wear W ¥ Knees together « s back straight comfortable shoes and point the feet straight forward. Cultivate an easy rhythmic swing to get the most out of walking. For the girl or woman who finds it impossible to take a daily walk the following indoor exercises will help to maintain a good figure: Stand erect, arms hanging at the sides. Raise chest and throw head backward. Slow- ly raise the head, turning it to the left: repeat ten times, turning head to left and right alternately. Another ex- ercise: Stand erect with feet together. Sink to a squatting position with knees together and back perpendicular. Slow=- ly rise and repeat ten times. Copyright 1929. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER is his lively sense of healthy interna- tional comradeship. There are few of the wrrs who are more human than Senor Tellez and his wit can be attested by every one who has come in contact with him. Quite familiar is the story of how he successfully eluded newspaper men in cities half-way across the United States when he was called to Mexico on 8 secret mission. Tellez is pronounced as if it were spelled “Tay-ez.” On this hurried trip to Mexico, the Mexican Ambassador’s train stopped at Chicago. One reporter came up to him, looking first at a phatograph and then to the Ambassador. “Are you the Mexican Minister?” he inquired. “Never knew Mexico had a Minister,” Tellez replied, and the reporter passed him by. He had told the truth, for there is a real distinction between & Minister and an Ambassador. At St. Louis he was stopped by an- other reporter. “Are you ‘Tell-ezz'?” he inquired. “Never heard of the name, sir,” “Tay-ez” replied, and the reporter passed on. At San Antonio much the same thing happened, and he succeeded in getting across into his country without being interviewed. Tellez is a musician of ability and is one of the most enthusiastic patrons of art and letters in the National Capital. He also has a hobby of collecting an- tiques, and the Mexican embassy on Sixteenth street is filled with rare pieces he has acquired. Through his efforts there has been installed in the embassy what is known as the can room. It is a spot of rare beauty. Gty Big Car Ferry Doomed.
