Young girls are likely to be influ- enced by what other members of their group are wearing; they want clothes that are sophisticated; their ideas of smartness differ from those of their more experienced but less observing mothers.

THE EVENING Today i Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 13, 1870.—“Washington is the best abused city in the Union,” writes “Grace Greenwood” in the Tri- bune, “with the doubtful exception of Chicago, but it will bear a good deal of abuse and still hold its own.” She describes the National Capitol in the following manner: “It is singult ly odd and pecullar, queer and contra- dietory, old-fashioned and no-fashioned, dilapidated and unfinished, beautiful and ugly, but to me the most charming, free-and-easy, cosmopolitan town in the New World.” “‘Congressmen and correspondents abuse it,” she continues, “because they do not see much of what is best in it. As a general thing, they know little ‘of stiffness of the North nor the languor of the South, and they see little of our lovely snrlnss and more lovely Autumns and far less than they should of the city's picturesque environs.” The Evening Star today, after quot- ing the statement by “Grace Green- wood,” says: “Grace also gives an energetic ‘dig’ at our authorities for not enforcing the LIGHT MY WAY BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Slow But Sure, “He that believeth shall not make haste."—Is., Xxvii:16. There are some people who never seem able to do anything quietly and calmly. They are always in & feverish haste. They are of a nervous, restless disposition. Over the smallest matters they become extited and flustered. This unfits them for the best work. One cannot do his best work when he goes at things excitedly and hurriedly. There is such a thing as “haste that makes waste.” Hurry flusters and upsets. Feverish straining tends to break down the vital forces of both the body and the soul. It weakens and unnerves us. It dis- uiets the mind so that we cannot think clearly. There is a typt of man we describe as slow but sure. You can usually de- pend on this type of man to put across whatever he undertakes. He does not fume and froth over what he has to do, but he gets it donme all the sooner and all the better. Activily is not all achievement. Mo- tion is not all progress. Take time to get your bearings, and your motion and activity will count for more. Learn to take things calmly, and you will find yourself working more efficiently and effectively. When you find yourself be- coming wrought up and nervous, stop long enough to calm yourself down. It will pay in the long run. We can do our best work only when we have peace and calmness in our hearts. “He that belleve shall haste.” Doubt unsettles men and makes not make | a8 police regulations against animals run- ning at large in this city, but Lor’ bless you, Gracie, what's the use?

Members of the cobinet and diplomatic corps, Senators, Rep- resentatives and high officers of the Army and Navy were present. Mrs. Camp, who is known to those who attend Epiphany Church for her pure and cultivated voice, sang the part of Martha. Others in leading roles were Miss Ada Randall, E. J. Harring- ton. 8. G.

The sender used innumerable “stops,” and 8o bewildered the lady that she is wai:- ing for a letter from her spouse to ex- plain what the message was all about. Sometimes a sender will destroy the sense of the message he attempts to convey by inserting “stops” st unneces- sary intervals. The result may fre- quently be humorous. A business man with practice soon learns to economize in the use of words, while at the same time going directly to the point of the thought he wishes to_transmit.

He would arrive in & certain city and join a group of “good fellows,” with the result that pleasure interfered so much with busi- Tess that he resigned from the con- cern by special request. It was a blow, but he was manly enough to blame himself for his misfortune. The head of the firm for which he traveled was exceptionally fond of the man, and in time he was reinstated. In the meantime he had made a deci- sion. He did not sign a pledge or prom- ise any one that he was going on the wagon. He knew how often promises and pledges are broken. He did not tell his boss that he was going dry. He decided to let time prove his right about face.

Willlam and Mary Dyer emigrated from England to Boston in the year 1635. Immediately they became fol- lowers of Anne Hutchinson, that re- markable women who was trying to teach Puritans the virtue of tolerance. But having found a country where tolerance was possible, the Puritans promptly forgot how to practice it. They first excommunicated Mistress Hutchinson and then banished her to! the Rhode Island wilderness. In Mary Dyer we see the full-spread fearlessness of the willing martyr. When Anne Hutchinson was excommunicated she marched proudly out of the church by her side, in full view of the congre- gation. When Anne was deported to }l}hode Island, in 1637, Mary went with er. Mistress Hutchinson accepted ban- ishment, but this Mary Dyer refused to do. During 20 years her thoughts and emotions seethed in her. Then in 1657, garbed as a Quakeress, she reappeared in Boston, where Quakers were pro- scribed and banished, with the threat, under the law, of death if they returned after banishment. She was immediately arrested and banished, but in September of 1659 came back again. She was in company with Willlam Robinson, Marmaduke Stevenson and Nicholas Davis.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy was entertaining her club for a dessert bridge. Formerly the members had come for an entire luncheon. But they decided that sort of an affair was too hard on the hostess—besides, they ate too much food. Each hostess tried to rival her preceding hostess until the luncheons became feasts. Now they worked it like this—the members were supposed to eat the first course of the luncheon at home’ They came to the hostess' at 1 o’'clock. On this particu- lar day. Nancy had planned a new combination. At & New York hotel she had eaten a dessert of lemon sherbet, fresh straw- berries and & pale pink sauce. She du- plicated it somewhat in this fashion. The caterer froze the lemon ice in the shape of a ring. Small rosettes of whipped cream had been put on the ring before it was packed in the ripening container. gé ‘Nancy could not find any fresh straw- berries nor fresh figs. She learned that fresh figs were particularly satisfactory DEJZERT in this dish. But she used fresh pine- apple shredded and sweetened only slightly. The sauce was made by boiling one cupful of sugar and three tablespoon= fuls of water to thread stage, This was poured over stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Into this frothy, fluffy mass was put enough grenadine sirup to give it flavor and a drop or two of vegetable coloring in red to give it more color. Nancy was afraid that too much grena- dine would spoil the flavor. Then into this she folded one-half cupful whipped cream. The sauce was smooth as satin, soft as velvet and as pale pink as a fleeting blush. The pineapple was put in center of lemon ice ring. The sauce was spooned over each serving.

In addition to keeping her body sup- ple, through regular exercise, the woman who would keep the years at bay must give attention to the corners of her mouth. For it is here that the years first begin to etch their lines upon the face. It is almost impossible to avold these altogether, for every face has certain characteristic expressions. After years of forming the muscles into these various positions certain lines are sure to be left there. And, after all,'wouldn't a mature face be rather expressionless if there were etched in it no lines of character or thought? As one woman put it when a flattering friend thought she was being kind by commenting that "her face was as smooth and young as that of her daughter’s ,“If no lines of character have been left in my face | after all these years of living, I should feel that I had indeed lived a thought- less, insipid life.” ‘Well, perhaps so, but at the same time there is no reason why mouth wrinkles need be etched too deeply. Just as correct posture is important to body muscles, so is correct posture im- portant to the muscles of the face, and one’s habitual expression has much to do with the lines of one's face. ps that have acquired the sullen habit of pouting cannot hope to have any beauty of maturity. Little puckers soon form about mouths that are too tightly com- pressed in a hard line. It is impossible for the most perfectly formed mouth to retain its beauty unless its owner maintains the right mental habits and attitude, and nowhere is the real love- liness of maturity so plainly written, for it is here that one may read either kindliness or selfishness, serenity or nervousness. So, in the first place, practice correct posture of mouth, and make sure that the corners turn up in a pleasant expression rather than down. After one is sure of maintaining & bright mental attitude to keep the mus- cles of her mouth from drooping, and of one’s general good health, it is time to consider exercise and massage for Ithe muscles around the mouth. A very simple and effective exercise is to purse the lips and practice blowing out a can- Special Dispatch to The Star.
