WOMA N'S PAGE. Changes in Use of Women’s Gloves BY MARY Girls used to be taught that a “lady” could be judged by her gloves and they were made to believe that if they wore gloves in need of mending or cleaning or missing a button they would be looked upon es unladylike. Of course, we don't bother our heads about such | distinctions nowadays, but it is as true today as it ever was' that carelessness concerning gloves mars the good effect of any woman’s appearance. It is not only the gloves and their condition, but THREE-QUARTER LENGTH BEIGE GLOVES WITH AFTERNOON VEL- VET DRESS IN BROWN WITH BEIGE LACE COLLAR.

Last season to some extent, and this season to a very great extent, well dress- ed women have worn gloves not only to the theater but durm% the performance and at formal receptions one is no longer free to lay aside one's gloves with one’s wrap in the comfortable manner that once prevailed.

LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Hankerchiffs. Hankerchiffs come by the duzzen, the mystery being where they all go to. They are very useful to give for pres- ents but very disappointing to receeve. Ladies usually keep their hanker- chiffs in a bag all mixed up with their vanity set and things. For this rea- son a lady is more libel to sneeze in the air before she can get her hankerchiff than what a man is, being more in- tristing to see than a man anyways on account of most ladies having shorter but funnier sneezes. Even when ladies do find their hankerchiff in time, it is proberly such a litle lth\l‘ll that their sneeze is libel to_miss it anyways. 1If fellows fold their hankerchiff neet- 1y before they put it in their back pockit it dont hardly make any diff- rents, but if they just stick it in any old ways it is libel to make & artificial looking hump, being what genrelly happens, Gerls never forget to have a hanker- chiff and they are always cleen, while on the other hand judging from the looks of most fellows hankerchiffs it is a blessing that they genrelly forget to have any.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., December 12 (N.AN.A.) —Bebe Daniels still remains the most promising girl in the village. Having just.come from a pre-view of her latest picture, which promises to eclipse her there is no other voice in moviedom which compares with it. And those Tinpan Aleyites who come out here to make music for talkies have given her a song that will be a furore. All of which brings me to Ned Sparks, ‘who will keep Laurel and Hardy looking to thelr honors. Who is more sad-faced than Buster Keaton and whose lines are a riot? Such delicious dialogue as this proves to us that talkies are grow- 8 e i did you get that bun?” “It's been in the family for years.” And this classic, “You're a nasty old gentleman,” as she stands over the fallen body of the villain, has a freshness of delivery that is great. ‘This same ucer who picked Bebe Daniels out of the wreckage has a rival for Clara Bow. It is Willlam Le Baron's belief that the girl who will logically supplant the “It” girl in talkie vehicles must sing And dance and be volcani- cally alluring all at the same time. Alice Montague is her name, and she's being given her chance to burn the audi- ence up. In the past but one rival for La Bow has proven herself worthy of the name—Alice White. The two pur- veyors of sex appeal considered them- selves sufficiently dangerous to each other's popularity to warrant a decided coolness when one saw the other. It's that way in the colony. But it's safe to b:'lweel. to the girl who has nothing to offer. Maurice Costelio, about ‘to_become a grandfather, says he didn't ask Vivienne Sengler to marry him. Vivienne, 21, says he did. She also says $100,000, lease! The judge will probably get the ast say. Costello’s faith in his romantic flair hasn’t weakened with the encroaching vears. His temples long ago turned gray, but he still vibrates with indigna- tion at the thought of producers rele- gating him to _character roles. Mrs. John Barrymore, his daughter, retired from active movie making to await the visit of the stork. She will return to the stage later in the Spring ~the sound stage, of course. When Catherine Dale Owen, blond film star, recruited from the stage last vyear for Jack Gilbert’s leading lady, picks Prince Youcca Troubetskoy for & flance, she takes one of the remaining Dbits of floating royalty out of the movie ranks. There are a few others, but they have forgotten their titles, in the hope of something better in the way of work. ‘To give the prince his due, he has long since forgotten his, and unless it is revived again by the exigencies of ro- mance it will remain_forgotten. ‘Young Troubetskoy hasn’t made much of a furore in gelatin work as yet. A few years ago he came here to try his luck, but had to abandon the artistic effort for the more practical one of selling automobiles. ‘Talkies have brought him better luck. Princelings have gone out of vogue. Gloria had a title. So had Mae Murray and Pola Negri. Most of them hadn't worked out so well. ‘The great have learned to forget their greatness. One of the most unassuming young men in Hollywood is Ferdinand Schumann-Heink, son of the great con- tralto. Madame is about to sign up for a talkie. This brings quite a few of the operatic great into movie folds. Her son is steadily progressing in parts that become more consequential from month to month.

It is not so much the money we earn that counts in our prosperity as it is| the money we spend. In spending count the savings, for they are closely bound together. Some people think it very smart to spend money lavishly. There is great pride in their voices when they an- nounce: “Highway robbers! They charged me $50 for that little old thing.” They seem to think that the fact of their being overcharged for a sandwich and a cup of tea in some fashionable tea house adds luster to their reputations. Of ocourse, it is their own business, but when their attitude toward money WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Office. red U. 8. Patent touches young people it is everybody's business. . Children have no sense of the meaning or the value of money. That must be acquired by experience. Listening to grown-ups is a part of that experience, and if it is harmful in its effects the grown people are to blame, not the children, If possible, keep that sort of thing out of children’s way. If it is not possible, tell the children the truth, even though you have to make a direct criticism of some friend or neighbor. Children come first. The extravagant mother does a lot of harm. She is happy in spending | money on her children so they will out shine the others in clothing and acces- ‘.;ones like motor cars and jewels and ur: 4 l"l Clarie, you almost lost your fur h, that!

It is not unusual to find that this sort of thing brings in its wake the bill col- lectors, the sheriff and the auctioneer. Meanwhile the child subjected to this foolish influence has to bear the brunt of the consequences. No matter how much money there is in the family or how little, children should be taught to earn and to spend. Youth is not the time for saving in the adult sense. Youth saves to spend. It is more important that children be taught to spend wisely than it is that they put so much of their allowance in the bank first thing. Real saving is based on sound spending. Teach a child to look over the field carefully. Take time to learn where he can get the best value for his money. ‘Teach him by experience the advantages of buying things of good quality, sound value and paying cash for it. Don't teach him to buy today and pay next month. The credit system is an adult idea, and better left there. Teach him to keep a little of his allowance in re- serve against the day when something he very much wants is offered at a bet- ter price than usual. ‘That is the best way to teach a child to save.

Peter and Nancy were having & beautiful time furnishing their new home. Fortunately, Peter was almost as interested as Nancy in colors, fur- niture, hangings. He wanted a livable home without too many fussy “doo dads.” as he called them. “Gee, I don't want to feel all clut- tered up. Let's have room to breathe and move around.” . “Let's,” agreed Nancy. ‘The color scheme chosen for the dining room was influenced somewhat the soft landscape paper they had chosen. It had a misty, gray green pattern on the soft ivory ground. The woodwork was painted the same green as used in the landscape. This im- mediately added to the apparent size of the room. Nancy tried a figured hanging at the window but discarded it because of the pattern in the paper. Instead she chose apricot colored material. The chairs had seats upholstered in green and mauve. The furniture was a Ty - K ha? rather reddish walnut so that it toned in_nicely. When the table was not being used she had a gold-colored Italian silk cloth for it. This silk is woven with a rough and uneven texture which adds to the interest and catches the light. The whole pattern lies within itself, so bind- ing with gold braid or galloon is unnec- essary. ‘The rug was in green figured chenille. | This gave her a green and mauve dining | room, with touches of gold as appeared | in the living room. Then she used | flame-colored tulips, bronze chrysanthe- mums or flame gladiolus. The room was exceedingly cheerful. (Copyright, 1920.) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. ‘Why mothers cling to methods that dafly prove useless is an unanswered conumdrum. It belongs to the school of “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again!” That may be a fine motto for oneself, but what dooms it to failure, when applied to forcing re- luctant children to eat, is that the methods themselves are Wrong ones, | and so they remain repeatedly unsuc- cessful. Every mother discovers very early in her child’s life that she cannot force that small mortal to accept one bite he doesn't want to take. She can't spank him, or shame him, or wheedle | him, or force him and bring about | success. Accept this fact, for it is a| fact, and having accepted it discard all such methods. Then you have made one big step forward and your fight for success is half won. Mrs. G. H. P. says what hundreds of you have said to me, “My sister's child is 314 years old and only weighs 26 pounds. She seems healthy enough, | but she will not eat. The only things | her mother admits she will eat without | coaxing are bacon and candy. She will drink a cup of milk at each meal but i refuses all solid food. She has tried | foreing, spanking, coaxing and making | a game of eating but has had to give 1 up in despair. What shall she do?” | First of all. the child needs a thor- | ough physical examination to discover | If ‘there are any reasons. for the lack | of appetite. Anemia, adenoid over-! 1 growths, tonsil infections, lack of fresh | air, too much play and consequent fatigue and too little sleep—any of these may be responsible for loss of appetite. But in many cases it is just a bad habit, allowed to grow thoroughly vicious because . the mother has em- ployed all the useless methods, men- tioned above, to bring it to an end. One of the most helpful (but not al- ways feasible) suggestions is to send the child away for a visit. New surround- ings, new food, new persons to deal with her, usually result in her- accepting three robust meals a day. Once the habit of eating is begun or revived it should continue even in the child’s own home. % There must be no dbetween-meal lunching for the child with a poor ap- petite. At this age the child loves help- ing in the kitchen. Cleaning and cut- ting up her very own vegetables, squeez- ing oranges, or quartering them, helping to turn her own lamb chop, will lend | these foods an allure that can never surround any of her mother's concoc- tions. The use of small dishes, set on a small table, suited to the child’s size, will make eating a new and important interest. Small amounts on these plates so that she acquires the habit of cleaning the plate, no fussing at her for not eating, will make the three-times-a-day cere- mony pleasing to her. We think Dr. Charles Aldrich’s book, “Cultivating the Appetite,” the most valuable of any we have read on the subject. The depart- ment also offers a leaflet called *“Meth. ods of Improving a Poor Appetite which any reader may have for the usual self-addressed stamped envelope, DAILY DIET RECIPE JELLIED TOMATO OLIVE SALAD_AND Canned tomatoes, 3 cups.

She asked her secretary, Davison, for the warrant for Mary’'s execution and signed it. The Earls of Kent and Shrewsbury took the dread news to Mary on the morning of February 7. Informed of their arrival, she arose from the bed where she lay suffering from rheuma- | tism, received them with dignity, and listened placidly as the warrant for her execution, set for 8 o'clock the next| morning, was read aloud by Beale, clerk | of the council. “I am ready to leave a world which ha‘.! been full of sorrow for me,” she said. She laid her hand on a Testament, | however, and swore she was gulltless | of the charges for which she was to die. “That is a popish Testament, as worthless as the oath,” said the fanati- cal Earl of Kent. “It is the true Testament,” rejoined Mary, “according to my belief. Would you give credit to my oath, my lord, if I swore on your version, which I do not accept?” That night she caused supper to be served earlier than usual. She drank to all her servants in turn, telling them | to be constant to their religion. She| divided her jewels, money and wardrobe between them. It was two hours after midnight when she lay down for a little rest. Rising early, she dressed in glowing crimson, over which she threw & robe of black satin with a white coif. She put on a white veil that fell to the ground. Her rheumatism made it hard for her to walk. Two attendants helped her t> the door, where the sheriff’s men took their places. Thanking them, she sald cheerily, “It is the last trouble I shall give you."” On the way to the platform, erected in the great hall of Fotheringay Cas- tle, her steward, Sir Andrew Melville, | feli on his knees before her, weeping. “Weep not, good Melville,” she said, | “but rather rejoice that an end has | come to the sorrows of Mary Stuart.” She begged for the attendance of her women. Kent refused. “Their cries may interrupt,” he said, and added brutally, “Ay, they may be superstitious enough to dip their kerchiefs in your blood.” “I promise they will do no such thing,” replied Mary. The Earl of Shrewsbury here inter- posed, and her wish was granted. She chose Jane Kennedy and Elizabeth Curle to go with her. Four of her men went, too. The warrant was read on the scaf- fold. Shrewsbury said, “Madam, you know what is to be done?” She answered composedly, “Do your duty.” After praying, she arose. The exe- cutioner came to take off the black robe. “Nay,” said Mary. “I am not used BRAIN TESTS Look through the sentences that appear here and follow the instructions given with each.

(Copyright, 1929.) WINTERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. ‘The fall of the leaves is the hunter's joy, for now indeed are the safe green screens of the birds torn down; there | is no place to hide now, for partridge or quail and the country boy taking an unkind pot-shot at Master Cardinal (who is worth nothing to eat) has an casy mark. But leaving aside the cardinal, it is remarkable that our Win- ter birds are fellows apt for hiding. Partridge, quail and grouse look like a pile of leaves till they flutter; the creepers are striped and dark, like the bark on which they crawl; chicadees and juncoes and horned larks are little dun wisps of nothing as they fiit in- visible among the black-and-silver of withered weeds. Yeou can, if you see & plan in all things, argue that they are so in order to escape observation. Or you can maintain the less mystical posi- tion that, being so, they have survived. Certainly many gaudy birds have failed to survive like the Carolina Parroquet, which once roamed as far north as the Great Lakes, while juncoes seem to me to increase every year; at least nothing is diminishing their hardy little bands. The fall of the leaves has brought to light once more the yearly, touching spectacle of the empty nest. I do not know why an old nest should so have the power to move me. But deserted houses like old costumes are always ap- pealing, often startling in their power to pierce to the center of all that is human in us. And so it is with nests, through which the rude wind whistles. Here once, too, were domestic felicity, anxiety and joy, and he is blind and insensate who does not believe that birds share the primal human emo- tions. Now, where the parents bullt, and the eggs were warm, is only an empty desolation and presently snow will fill the abode of joy, or the rains will beat it down from the tree into the ud. And yet, like the seven ancient cities that rose upon the ruins of their pred- ecessors, s0 to the empty nests some birds will return next year. Many a home will have vanished, or stand a mere tattered remnant, but the wonder- ful carpenter orioles build not in vain and the canny sparrow, sheltering his home under a friendly eave, will find all dry and snug. Savory Baked Beans. Pick stones and dirt from one quart of beans and wash them. Soak in cold fresh water overnight. In the morning pour off the water, cover with hot wa- ter, add a little salt and some bacor or ham and cook until the beans begin to split open. Then pour about half of the beans in a deep earthen crock or bean pot, put in the bacon or ham and then the remainder of the beans. Mix one teaspoonful of mustard with one tablespoonful of molasses and a little water. Pour this over the beans and then add boiling water to just cover. Bake in a very slow oven for 10 hours. Add a little water as often as needed. . Pineapple Pie. Mix one teaspoonful of flour with half a cupful of sugar, three egg yolks, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the juice of one medium sized lemon and cook in a double boiler until thickened. Cool, then whip in the whites of the eggs, which have been beaten until dry. Put into a baked pastry shell half of the filling, then add a layer of drained crushed canned pineapple and top with the rest of the lemon filling. When ready to serve, cover with Wwhipped cream, uncooked meringue, chopped can- died cherries and nuis, or bits of bright jelly. This makes one large pie. THE STAR’S DAILY FASHION SERVICE. Play Suit.

One mother says: I have taught my children how to keep a weather record, and it is one | of the things they most enjoy doing. ‘They make a pictorial chart and print the date underneath the picture. On | a rainy day they will draw a picture of a child carrying an umbrella or show | the corner of a house with water drip- ping off the roof; on snowy days they draw snow men or a landscape with the snow falling. There are all sorts of things for them to draw, and the competition as to who can best depict the weather is quite keen. Sauce for Meat or Fish. Boil two tablespoonfuls of vinegar with two tablespoonfuls of water and one small onion.

They are not very deep, but I would like to rid of them before they become ly etched. Cns MRS. WARD. Answer—After cleansing the face at bedtime apply an oily night cream or tissue cream across the path of the wrinkles. Hold the skin smoothly with the first and second fingers of the left hand and with the fingers of the right hand gently massage the lines away with a rotary, patting movement. Leave a little of the cream on overnight. In the morning, after cleansing the face, repeat the same movements and pat on a mild skin tonic. Once a week have a thorough facial massage, using the oil pack. Be sure to rest and relax your eyes several times a day. Avold eye- strain and the worry expression, which are probably the causes I%!ho wrinkles. 1S Hips Too Large. Dear Miss Leeds: I am 24 years old, 5 feet 1'; inches tall and weigh 122 pounds. Do you think that I should reduce? 37 and waist 25. My hips seem too large. (2) I am also bothered with pimples on my face now and then. Could you suggest something to help clear my face? BROWN EYES. Answer—You are not overweight, but you need more active exercise to trim down the exoess weight about yoursmps p- ping, dancing, swimming and stationary running are splendid exercises for this purpose. Write for my leafflet on beauty exercises, which gives in detail exercises that you may take regularly. (2) Cleanse your face thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse in cold water and dry with a clean, soft towel, using a little friction to stimulate the circulation. When a pimple makes its appearance touch it with iodine and with a sterilized needle open it and gently press out the contents. Then bathe for several minutes in hot boric acid solution. Dry and apply a little soothing salve such as boracic or zinc ointment. Spend an hour or two each day in the fresh air and sunshine and take more active indoor exercise to stimulate the sluggish circulation. Eat wisely and include more raw fruit and vegetables and less heavy, fried, greasy foods. Avoid constipation. Drink sev- eral glassfuls of water between meals. LOIS LEEDS, Chapped Lips and Rough Hands. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) My lips have My bust measures 2815, hips | very chapped and always this condition when the cold. Can you suggest any- thing? (2) My hands are always 't | rough and red looking but they too are worse in Wintertime. (3) I have brown hair, medium complexion and hazel eyes. What colors may I wear? Is dark green a good color for me? (4) What is my correct weight, I am 25 years of age and 5 feet 312 inches tall. Answer—Apply a soothing lotion to the lips every night at bedtime and be- fore going out of doors. Equal parts of glycerin, rosewater and witch hazel may be used. Two or three times a week apply camphor ice or cold cream to keep the skin soft and to prevent its cracking. Avoid wetting, biting, or licking the lips, as this habit will make them sensitive and inclined to be dry and harsh. (2) After washing and dry- ing your hands apply a little of the soothing lotion and massage them for a few seconds. At bedtime coat the hands with a skin food, cocoa butter or lanolin and sleep with a pair of old gloves on, with the palms cut out for ventilation, Two or three times a week give your hands a thorough overhaul- ing, including a manicure and massage. If you have your hands in water a great deal be sure to dry them thoroughly and avoid harsh soaps and cleaning agents. Write for my leaflet on care of the hands, which gives the bleach- ing and massage treatment in detail. (3) Yes, green is a very popular color this season. Choose an olive, bottle or Sherwood green.

You should promptly go to a dentist for treatment. ‘There is always an infection in pyor- rhea, but whether there is a particular germ as a cause or not is not known, so far as I know. At one time it was be- lieved to be caused by an’ameboid or- ganism, but that theory has not been accepted. There is some connection be- tween pyorrhea and lack of dental cleaning and thorough enough home cleaning. And there is undoubtedly a connection between pyorrhea and defi- cient diet. . The care of the teeth I outlined a while back was to wash them for three to four minutes (by the clock), and :f you have irregular teeth, as long as five minutes, two or three times a day. One of the cleanings should always be be- fore going to bed, so your teeth and mouth are clean for the night and nc food left to ferment. (You want to see how ineffective the usual half-a-minute scrub is? Look at your teeth after washing in one of those magnifying mirrors.) You should have two brushes, so that ! the bristles will be kept stiff and in good condition. The best type of brush is a small one with bristles of uneven length and in groups far apart, so they can better get in between the teeth and so the brushes themselves can be better cleaned. If dental floss is used, it must be used gently so that there are no in- juries to the gums. The dentifrice used is not so much a matter of importance, because it is soldly a mechanical al It should not be gritty or have any pa: ticular medication in it. One of the best mouth washes is that of a level teaspoonful of salt to a full 8-ounce glass of water. (This propor- tion is important.) After brushing the teeth rinse the mouth thoroughly with this solution, drawing the water in be- tween the teeth and then gargling the throat three times. Then hold a small mouthful for five minutes (one can bz dressing meanwhile), expel this and ga gle three times again. The proper care of the teeth, plus the balanced diet (yes, the integrity of the teeth does depend upon the diet, even in adult life), plus regular visits to tie dentist will help prevent infections of* all sorts, including pyorrhea. Mrs. K.: During a cold I have always advised going back to the maintenance diet, so you can have more of the alka- line-ash foods (milk, fruits, vegetables and nuts), for at that time it seems .o me it may be wise not to call on the body fat for fuel. This in reality is a little unnatural process, as nature did not design man to be a hibernating ani- mal—one which instinctively stores up fat in its tissues to be used while lying dormant during Winter. But do not misinterpret this. It is decidedly better in most conditions to use up the excess body fat. While in a way it is not nor- mal, neither is it normal to have great cxcesses of fat, and the danger of thes> excesses more than counterbalances tiie slight unnaturalness of using it for fuel, g S Frosting and Filling. Melt six tablespoonfuls of butter over a slow fire, then add three tablespoon- fuls of grape juice and stir over the fire until well blended, but do not allow to boil. Remove from the fire and pour slowly over one and one-half cupfuls of “confectioners’ sugar, to which has been added ‘a pinch of salt. Stir until quite smooth. Use as a frosting and a filling for a two-layer white cake o: plain sponge cake. le saiel : Use RUMFORD:IN Tomato “Why,”’ said Mrs. W., I’ve been doing just that for over a year. Rumford’s much better than soda. It makes tomato bisque lovely and creamy—gives it a finer flavor. I use it in cream sauces for vegetables, too. It makes them perfectly delicious.” So there you are. While we were making sure our idea of new uses for Rumford Bak- ing Powder was correct scientifically, this modern housewife had discovered it herself. Rumford has been known for years as the per- fect leavener because of the two-to-one proportion of its leavening action—two-thirds of the leavening takes place in the mixing and one-third in the oven. Now we are giving you the news that this ideal, all-phosphate baking powder can be used for many other things as well as leavening. Courage is life's most important asset. Build strength and health in youth, to develop courage. Give children this great health food!
