w OMAN’S PAGE. Christmas Card Individuality BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. —— FIVE DECORATIVE MOTIFS TO BE USED ON CHRISTMAS 6ARDS There is a pronounced vogue for in- dividuality in Christmas cards. These cards may be very costly or they may emphasize simplicity at small cost. The main thing is to have them so “differ- ent” that they immediately attract at- tention. It is possible to make your own individualistic Christmas cards, and for this purpose motifs are pic- tured today. Trace the special decorative motif you prefer for a card by laying trans- parent paper over the iilustration. Be sure to have lines follow those printed exactly as pictured. Transferring Pattesn. Put carbon paper between a piece of cardboard and this thin tracing paper and go over the lines with a pencil. The pattern will be transferred. Save this as a pattern, for it will be more substantial than that in the newspaper. Each motif should be so transferred. Cards. Position the patter: on a corre- spondence card that .5 unglazed or a card cut from doutl: elephant water color paper. The latter is preferable. It has a rough, craftsmanlike finish and will take water color wonderfully. How to Paint Motifs. Paint the motifs to suit your own fancy, or follow the directions given below. A smart effect is gained by out- lining all edges with India ink. ‘Wreath—Wreath green in a flat wash or in shaded colors according to maker's preference or proficiency in painting. Make the bow red. Christmas candle—Candle red, holly green with red berries, candlestick black. Christmas tree—Green, candles red with deep yellow tips of flame, gifts any preferred colors lined with black or metal paint. Tree trunk brown. Flower pot red, gold, yellow or any metal paint. Christmas star—Gold, outlined with black rays. Christmas bells — Christmas bells metal paint, preferably bronze; red rib- | bons. Bell clappers black. Bands on | the bells red or contrasting metal tone. (Copyright, 1929.) MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star and the North ‘American Newspaper Alliance. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, December 9 (N.AN.A).—The Broadway contingent may have taken our village by storm, but the main street boys are holding - their own. ‘When one says main street, in speak- ing of that histrionic cradle from which Lewis Stone and William Desmond were matinee idols, one means the term in the full sense which Silclair Lewis gave to it. Main street, Los Aigyy/es, was once the thoroughfare de Ium’ of all this Southern California. It represented the city itself to souls whose experience went but little beyond it. What matters it today that main street is given over to second-hand clothiers and penny peep shops,. to gailor'’s haunts and the nickelodeon where ancient pictures are shown—an WHO REMEMBERS?

Richard Dix was once leading man and matinee idol on this faded way of the great. Harry Richman played a minor part in the old Morosco stock company. That was before he went to the Vernon Coun- try Club to wisecrack and play the piano and sing for the stars of celluloidia who attended nightly. They could go nightly in _those days—no lines to learn. Douglas McLean was a riot along this street in those days, and Jimmie Glea- son was to be found there now and again. Today Harry Richman, said to be the fiancee of Clara Bow, is a star of big picture being made in one of the largest studios of the village. And James Gleason, once of main street, leaves a mansion in Beverly Hills each morning to play a part in this picture; leaves a corps of servants thoroughly trained, a fleet of shining motors. a I that makes many of the colony green with envy. It's of a particular green that turns water into liquid jade. Lewis Stone has survived changes in the industry with the poise which is characteristic of his granite imperturb- ability. He has survived a divorce in midlife and a romance with a young and blooming member of the colony whose pulchritudinous youth but em- phasizes the fact that he is no longer the great lover of past screen work. Marjorie Rambeau, Blossom Seeley. Prances White, Percy Bronson, even John Barrymore and Louis Calhearn and Willard Mack, once saw success along this main stem of a land that later went gelatin and dumped fortunes into their laps. But this doesn't stop the Broadway boys. from going West, young man. Joseph Macauley is among the most/ recent to cast his fortune with the talkies. It isn't much of a gamble any | more. He will sing in Arthur Hammerstein's little operetta which he is putting on with Joseph Schenck. A few beginners, such as Rudolph Friml, Herbert Stot- hart, Lois Moran, Dorothy Dalton, will round out the personnel of the under- taking. And since I myself heard Mr. Joseph Schenck say it didn't particu- larly matter what a talkie cost, as it was bound to make money, once “in the can,” I gather that there will be no scrimping on the treasurer’s part. So our little beginners will be correctly launched. Straight Talks to Women About Monéy BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Starving Wage. Some woman economists are in arms against the “starving wage,” and in one State at least an effort is being made to have wealthy benefactors subsidize clubs for girls. The idea is to help carry along young girls until thes are in a position to get along alone. Many young business women, how- ever, will not be afforded this assist- ance, and they are the ones who inter- est us here. Most young women who find their salaries inadequate are paying excessive rent. This is not a chance statement. It is a fact that has been substantiated by surveys. Obviously if a girl arns $18 a week and she spends $10 on rent and $¢ on silk stockings, she will find the remain- ing $4 insufficlent for food, clothing, car fare, entertainment and the rest of the expenses in her life. Rent is the important item for any ung woman to consider, and she has gr choice of accepting a modest resi- flence in keeping with her earnings or #arving herself to keep up appearances. It is aleo a substantiated fact that | women deny themselves food first, and other order. My Neighbor Says Lemon juice in dishwater cuts grease and helps to_save the housewife’s hands. Halves of lemons from which most of the Juice has been e may be used for this purpose. Lemon juice applied to the hands after washing dishes keeps them soft and white. A hot-water bottle placed in the clothes basket when hanging out and taking in clothes dur- ing cold weather will keep the hands warm.

Vanity about one's residence seems to us ostrichlike. For example, no in- telligent man expects a $20-a-week stenographer to live in a $100-month apartment. Nor does he expect her to wear the latest models and original hats from Paris. He expects her to be sensible enough to wear what she can afford and eat enough to nourish herself. 1f she ac- | complishes that much, she deserves his | profound admiration. | Living on a starving wage is difficult enough without increasing one’s trou- bles with excessive rent or clothes in the luxury class. Food should come first, clothing next, and then shelter. An economical girl can often make the ends meet until her first pay raises materialize. It is hard sledding, as many know, but a conscientious effort in the right direc- | tion frequently carries one through lean times and prepares one to make the most of plenty. Onions and Cheese.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 9, 1861.—Secretary of the Treasury ,Chase submitted an impor- tant report to Congress today, inform- ing that body that, in consequence of a deficiency in the revenue, the aug- mented expenditures of the War and Navy departments, and the assumption last July that the contest with the Southern States would be short and the estimates submitted to Summer were too low. On that oc- casion, it was estimated that the ex- penditures of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1862, would total $318,519,581. Secretary Chase now says the figure should have been $532,424,000, Secretary Chase thinks retrench- ment end reform are necessary and recommends the strictest supervision of the contractors furnishing war sup- plies the Government. He also recommends an increase in the cus- toms duties on tea, coffee and sugar, and an increase of the direct tax in the loyal States to $20,000,000. Congress has the power, in the opin- ion of Mr. Chase, to issue a national paper currency, which would super- sede that of all local instiutions, but he believes the possible disasters outweigh the probable benefits of such a plan and he does not recommend its adop- tion. Instead, he proposes to Congress another plan, the principal features of which are a circulation of notes bear- ing a common impression and authenti- cated by a common authority, the re- demption of these notes by the associa- tions and institutions to which they may be delivered for issue, the gecurity of that redemption by the pledge of the United States stocks and an adequate division of specie. ‘The notes thus issued. in his opinion. would form the safsst currency the country has ever enjoved, while their receivability for all Government dues, except customs, would make them, wherever payable, of equal value as cur- rency in every part of the Union. Secretary Chase believes that, as the result of this plan, the whole circula- tion of the country, except a limited amount of foreign coin, after the lapse 6f two or three years would bear the impress of the Nation, whether in coin or notes, while the amount of the lat- ter, which is always easily ascertain- able and generally known,” would not ;be likely to be increased beyond the real wants of business. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE. Sleek Simplicity. It's quite possible to dress well even on a modest budget by choosing the correct styles and fabrics. For instance, here is a dress of black sheer velvet with new chic femininity noted in Alencon eeru lace scarf collar and cuffs in deep ecru shade. Its lines are unusually smart, with extremely snug hipline achieved through shaped yoke. Graceful swing to silhou- ette is created by circular skirt fitted through upper part with fluttering full- ness at hem. . It's easily made at a moderate cost. It's a dress that can be worn to town, for luncheon, tea, bridge or Sunday evenings. Style No. 397 is designed in sizes 16, 18, 20 years, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust. It is made with 334 yards of 40- inch material with 1, yard of 36-inch contrasting in the medium size.

We think of everything in terms of gadding and of thrills. The eternal question on every Ip is: “Where do we go from here?” The most important thing about what- ever we do is the kind of a kick we get out of it. i tability, no peace,”no rest for us.

Anyway, keep going. ~Never stop. It is hardly too much to say that having hysterics in a treadmill is the modern ideal of coming to the end of a pleasant day. t is this passion for movement that makes us a normal people, con- tlnua]lly shmmgp from place to place. Among all other civilized people the heart’s desire of every man and woman is to own their own home and have some settled abiding place that belongs to them; some spot where they can strike their boots down into the soil and grow a shelter for their children and their children’s children. To own their own home gives them a sense of respectability, of dignity, it makes them feel that they are of importance in the community, and the very first thing they do when they make money is to invest it in a home. ot so with the great majority of Americans. They don't want to be ue‘iiutdor\lfl'n with a house. They want to be able to pile their few belongings, and the fewer the better, on a moving van on the first of October and swap over to a house that has a blue bathroom instead of a pink one or some new gadget on the electric ice machine. The popular conception of a perfectly Tounded life is to be born in a hospital, live in an efficiency apartment that you rent by the month and be buried from an undertaking establishment. Rk ¥ i NDOUBTEDLY, much of the unrest and wildness of the younger generation and many of the divorces are directly attributable to the fact that we live temporarily in houses and flats instead of in established homes. Somehow you can’t cook up 8 home atmosphere on short order, nor can you grow a sentimental attachment for a place you are just stopping in over night, as it were, and that you are using just as a makeshift, so why come back to it as long as there are other places open? Often the home, even among well-to-do people, isn't comfortable. It is merely a sardine tin into which the whole family is packed like the poor fish that they are. There is no room in it for children to play, nowhere for a boy to keep his treasures, no room in which a girl may keep her dates without the whole family listening in on every word that is said. No wonder she takes to the streets and does her love-making in parked automobiles. And it is no murve} that the husband and wife who have to live in one room and eat out of a kitchenette get on each other's merves and beat it for the divorce court. If we could only induce people to bulld regular homes and stay put in them, it would do more than any other one thing to reform modern society and bring it back to normalcy. It is folly to talk about home, sweet home, and home in- fluence to a child who can’t even remember where he lived year before last. And certainly the reason why there are so many ill-assorted marriages is because courtship nowadays is done on the fly and a lover pops ‘the question between the cut-ins at a dance. In olden times when a young man was courting a 1 he called on her in her home and they spent long hours on the parlor sofa discussing this and that. This, at least, gave them a chance to find out what they thought on different subjects and to ascertain whether they had anything in common. But nowadays our sole idea of giving our fellow-creatures some pleasure is to keep them moving. Take them somewhere. And so when a young ‘man is wooing & girl he rushes her around from cabaret to night club, from restau- ants to moving pictures, from theaters to joy rides. They never spend an evening at home. They never really have a heart-to-heart talk. They wait until after they are married even to get acquainted with each other. And then it is generally too late. IR ND look at the stress we put upon our emotions. We don't consider whether a thing is right or wrong, whether it would be wise or foolish to do it, whether it would make or mar our futures. We only consider how we feel about it, and as the result the world is cluttered up with failures, men and women* who had not the backbone to stick to a job after it settled down into the grind of work and ceased to be a gay adventure. | | All of us know plenty of men and women who have broken up their homes | and_half-orphaned their children for no better reason than that they were ! tired of the wives and husbands to whom they were married. They found that domestic life became dull and monotonous and they lost their taste for it. | The man felt that he could get a better run for his money in opening cham- | pagne for chorus girls than he could out of buying certified milk for baby. | ° ‘The woman, taking the temperature of her affections, ascertains that her love for her husband is no longer a burning, feverish passion and that she doedn't have palpitation of the heart at the sound of his footsteps and that, anyway, while John is a good provider he is no sheik. So they start out in the vain pursuit of pleasure that will never pall, of a daily life that will always be full of pep and ginger and of a husband and wife whose charms will never grow stale. Yes, it is too much motion and emotion that is the matter with us. We need to slow down and realize that all we get out of making whoopee is a bad head the next morning and & bitter taste in our mouths and the knowledge that we have made fools of ourselves.

Not s0 long ago I met the world-famous actress, Yvette Guilbert.

Nothing is more effective than plain salt and water, either hot or luke warm. is for acidity of the mouth, marvelous for strengthening gums, and as a gargle for killing germs that collect in the throat. A little milk of magnesia is also good for acid mouth. There is a great deal of nonsense written about special ways of preserv- ing the teeth. Every imaginable kind of tooth paste is manufactured and great claims are made for each one of them. On the whole this is a good thing, because it reminds people con- stantly of the importance of keeping their teeth clean. Personally, I'm for all or any of the tooth-cleaning con- coctions and for practically any type of tooth bruf. I remember hearing re- cently that a lot of dental manufac- turers had got together and decided on a campaign “to make the Nation tooth-brush conscious.” Good luck to them, and may they find an even fun- nier slogan for their next campaign! For eternally young teeth, then, use any sort of brush and any sort of paste or wder, even ordinary powdered chalk if you must economize. Your brush must be moderately stiff and it shouldn’t be too big. Brush your teeth four times as much as you think you need to, back and forth, up and down and all over them. Do this night and | morning. And go to a good dentist once in six months at least td have your teeth professionally cleaned and the tartar removed. Tartar causes irrita- tion, pockets of pus, receding gums and pyorroea. IONDAY, DECEMBER Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, We realize as well as any one that when we advise “Keep the children quiét before bedtime, so they won't be keyed up and wide awake from excite- ment,” that advice is easier said than 8one. Children have little patience with inactivity and they respond so riotously to father's feeblest efforts to be amusing that the pre-bed hour in| most households degenerates into ex- hilarating circuses. It's ail very well in fiction for the children to indulge in pillow fights—but try to quiet them down after one. Mrs. M. J. W. has solved the bed- time hour with a new amusement. She says, “We dre making a sérapbook. Each evening at bedtime I cut out pictures from old magazines and paste them in a notebook. Jean sits beside me on the davenport and chooses the ones that interest her the most. She can hardly wait for me to finish the kitchen work. This puts her in a quiet, happy frame of ‘mind and in half an hour she is ready for bed.” . ‘When Jean is older she will want to be more than an onlooker. She’ll want to do some of her own cutting and pasting. This is one type of amuse- ment which fits ideally into that trying hour between dinner and bedtime. It is a good plan to let the child do his bathing or sponging off before dinner and come to that meal in nightgown and bathrobe. Just being undressed prevents him from entering into too strenuous games. No mother need told that if she allows the child to Wit for his nightly ablutions until after dinner that these are accomplished to the tune of weary wal 1t she encourages rough games with father, the very suggestion of bedtime brings forth beseeching please to “Wait a minute_longer. We're having such funsand I'm not a bit sleepy.” Being torn away from the games won't put any more sleep in the eyes of the child who has been exercising so violently. The opinion that he ought to be good and sleepy isn’t balanced by facts. He is wide awake and it mayv be hours be- fore he calms down. ' These are the hours when father and mother are ir- ritated to the point of punishment, while the wide-awake one cpntinues to chatter in his bed or to punctuate the silence at intervals with demands to be given a drink. It avalls little to point out patiently that they just had one. There is no peace until their requests are fulfilled. So these sitting-down games, puzzles, books to color, stories to read and oic- tures to paste keep eyes so busy that they soon begin to droop. This is the psvchological moment to sav. “Just five minutes more—and then who will be the first one in bed?” Ta‘uty Baked Beans.

Brave Women and Girls of History BEFORE HER, His adherents might plan wisely, but | in the end it was the wit of a brave woman_which brought Charles II to safety after Cromwell had beaten him at_Worcester. Twenty-six miles from Worcester, at White Ladies, the last of his noblemen bade Charles farewell. -For the time being he was put in the care of trusty yeomen and he became a wanderer in the woods, with not even a roof to shel- ter him. But Lord Wilmot did not go far. He concealed himself at Mosely and later he and the king were reunited. Wil- mot conveyed Charles to the home of the gallant Col. Lane at Bentley. It was there that Jane Lane entered | the picture. She was thé sister of the colonel and an accomplished, attrac- tive womag. In the future plans for | the king's%escape she became‘the most | important factor. Cromwell's soldiers were combing every highway and byway in search of Charles. Only in France was there safety for him. Miss Lane supplied the means by which he reached that safety. She happened to possess a parlia- mentary pass which ‘enabled her to go, and to convey her friends, to the neigh- borhood of Bristol, the seaport. She had been granted the pass that she might visit a relative who was expect- ing the stork. “Can you not, with your pass, smug- gle the king to Bristol?” asked Col.

After they have gone we will play a little game and the child who can repeat the most number of interesting things they have heard discussed will be rewarded with a little prize, which I always plan to have something they may all enjoy. So the ears are kept open and the mouths closed, with the result that we grown-ups are not being constantly in- terrupted by a lot of childish questions. And they really do learn quite a bit and are becoming “good listeners,” one of the best attributes for popularity.

The king, turned plain William Jackson, was to play serving man to Miss Lane. Dressed in coarse gray, he would ride “double” before her. Her other comrades would be a cousin, Mr. Lascelles, and his wife, and a Mr. and Mrs. Petre. As graceful a monarch as ever lived, Charles was a poor serving man. As the cavalcade prepared to start, the aged mother of Col. and Jane Lane ap- peared to say farewell. She laughed heartily as he awkwardly helped her daughter to mount her horzse. . “What a goodly horseman my daugh- ter has got to ride before her,” she said. The details of that dangerous ride cannot be given. But, guided and coached by Jane Lane, who had to re- member that the man in front of her was a king while treating him as a loutish servant, Charles made his way to _his goal. Straight through troops of searching soldiers, and past many a lumpkin who would have liked to sight him in order to win a reward, they rode. And ever Jane Lane was gay and unconcerned, as if Willlam Jackson was actually what he seemed. All the rest of his life Charles II considered that while many, both high and low, had aided him greatly in those troublesome days, he owed more to Miss Lane than any other. From France he hastened to write her, “It is impossible I can ever forget the debt I owe you.” Nor did he. When she and her .brother later fled to France to escape Cromwell, he made her r'the heroine of Paris and the French court. Z After the restoration he gave her an annuity of 1,000 pounds a year. Col.
