They walked or took the street car or in the country or suburbs took what com- fort they could in & more or less open conveyance, and the average young girl going to her first parties wore her day- time coat—her best coat if she had one —wore a hat and street shoes and carried a party bag in which she car- ried her slippers, her fan, her long white gloves and other et cetera. There really is nothing extravagant about having a new evening wrap every year or two. You will find very at- tractive ones in many of the stores at amazingly reasonable prices, and the task of making a persentable evening wrap is certainly a much less difficult one than that of making a daytime coat. There are lovely new evening wraps made of lame lined with velvet with luxurious fur collars. These, of course, are expensive. A considerable saving may be achieved if you use cotton vel- veteen instead of velvet and if you make a shirred crushed collar take the place of fur. This week’s circular shows how to make the ruffie for vestee or blouse to be worn with suit or cardigan jacket. If you would like a copy, please send your stamped, self-addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of The Star, and it will be forwarded to you. (Copyright, 1029. w2ed French Chestnut Soup.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE HOLLYWOOD, Calif, December 26| (NAN.A)—King Celluloid may rule every other day in the year, but it was ! tots’ time in Hollywood yesterday.

Small Mildred Gloria Lloyd, daughter of Harold Lloyd, who gets big laughs with little tricks, spent her first holi- days at the new Lloyd estate. When motion picture people create such a home as this comedian has completed they go into the dynastic class. The vast acreage of the estate includes its own golf course, canoe course, tennis courts and polo. It is & world within| itself, and the entire resources of the world out beyond are called upon to make life for small Gloria as interest- ing as it can be. " Open house was the order of the day.

He has the reputation of being most faithful to his friends, and the many whims which sweep the colony never affect him.

Within recent years hologists h‘r:-n" turned their n{ununnpgc gestures. is phase of human behavior i not 20 only he latest psychological fad, but it is also one of the most promising flelds of investigation. It seems that one’s personality is connected with one's fhestllm. ‘Annd pedr!nndl-llt 18, n}fp{”m"' e beginning and end of psychology. There is nothing cnusglleps in the world, so gestures must have a meaning, even when they are performed auto- matically. One thing is certain—we do not know the meaning of a given indi- vidual's gestures unless we first know the individual rl’e"y well. It is rea- sonable to conclude, therefore, that we ordinarily get more meaning out of a known personality plus gestures than Wwe get out of the gestures of an un- known individual. In & sense gesture is assoclated with stature and avoirdupols. The little fellow makes more gestures than the average sized person, while the large man makes very few. This fact, which un{mone may verify for himself, leads to but one conclusion—any form of ges- ture is an extension of the personality of the one who does the gesturing. You never see a full-grown man making ges- tures when he talks to boys. You find boys making all sorts of gestures when they are Most, of the supposed race differences as revealed in gestures may be laid to difficulties involved in speaking differ- ent languages. An Italian speaking broken English will do s lot of gestur- ing when speaking to Englishman. Put him with his fellows, and, if any- thing, he gestures less than does an E: an among Englishmen. 1t it all together, we may say that gesturing belongs to the psychol- ogy of compensation. In some cases it means & compensation for personal de- ficlencies; in other cases a compens:.- tion for inadequate speech habits. Of | faults in their behavior. Today in Washington History CY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 26, 1861.—The provost mar- | shal announced today that it has been determined ‘to_suppress the evil of bar rooms in Washington kept open after 9:30 p.m. Finding that order that_time is constantly being evaded by hotels of differenc grades, it has become necessary to take measures to insure its observance. Hereafter, therefore, the proprietors of all such establishments as are not conducted with due observance of the order will be arrested and held in custody without respect of persons. ‘This order is not designed to prevent the keepers of eating houses from fur- nishing food to their patrons after the hour of 9:30 p. 1but simply to close y. On all sides business men in this city are comflslmng of being swindled by individual volunteer officers of a certain class. They say that an undue number of such officers is in the habit of running up bills without making gly provision whatever for their liquida- on. As the military law now stands it provides no method of redress for the victims of such swindles. The class of “adventurer” officers who resort.to such practices is almost to a man without any property, except their pay, whicn cannot be reached. The evil can be stopped by congressional legislation, o1~ dering their pay, or a due portion or it, to be devoted to the payment of ther debts. This, it is believed, will either rid the service of such men or frevent their swindling operations m he future. A schooner has come up to the city wharves from the lower Potomac River with four holes in her mainsail, maae by shots from Confederate batteries on the Virginia shore. No other impor- tant news from the lower river was recelved today. Gen. Hooker has tried the range of the 10-pound Parrot rified guns re- cently placed in battery with his a1~ vision. The mark taken was the Con- fecerate batteries on the Virginia side of the river about 4,000 yards off. The “practice” is reported to have been everything that could be wished by the Union forces. Apparently e shell fell just where t was aimed. At least that is the statement of the Union officers who fired the guns. They say also that every shell burst exactly as intended and that the Confederates “seemed to be greatly astonished.” No report from the Confederate side upon the resuic of this firing is available here yet. The Union officers say one of the Confea- erate guns was dismounted by the firing. SUB ROSA BY MIML Have You Your Number? Ever since the auto came along and we could see the license plate on be- hind, we have thought we could iden- tify a person the way we identify a car. When we get his number, we think we know what he is like. Probably you have the numbers of your friends. But have you looked yourself over to find your own number? You know what your friends and a quaintances are like. This girl is a real pal and it is safe to confide in her. Here's another one who is in- clined to be catty and so you don't tell her any too much. This man is depend- able and he's to be trusted, But the ‘This | other guy who may seem all right will stand watching. You have these num- bers, all right. A girl has a mirror and it's pretty much in evidence, these days. But your mirror may give you better infor- mation about the amount of powder you're carrying than the amount of per- sonality you're expressing. It can tell you how red the lip stick has made your mouth but can't easily size up the candle power of your eye. If a girl keeps thinking about her- self in a dreary way, she may w vain or morbid or silly. But that isn't the same as glv!.n: your mind the once over now and then. No, for that sort of a critical look can do you a world of good. You know your height and you keep an eye on the scales if you're inclined to take on weight. You should have a yard stick and scale for your mind. You can get these things, in a way, by comparing your- self with others. This girl makes a good appearance. Just how does she doll up? The other girl makes the bright remark at the right time. How did she get that way? Another girl is of such a disposition that she's ular every- where. How can others imitate her and get similar results? Most of the time, when we look erit- ically at others, it is for the purpose of finding flaws in their make-up and ‘There's al- ways a lot of such criticism. But you can criticize another girl, it you want to call it that, with the idea of raising yourself to her level instead of trying to bring her down to yours. Of course, we're assuming that she is really superior and worthy of imitation. Asmnuyou(lnhernumbu,try to get your own. You have a person- ality which is different from that of others. Make it better. You have a style of your own. Work that for all it’s_worth. Don't try to be somebody else. Size up other people with the idea of brac- ing up your own personality. You have 2 number if only you can get it.

He would allow no one to carve for him. He did not use his knife himself except to cut his bread into mouthfuls or to loosen a corner of the meat. He conveyed his food to his mouth with his fingers, holding the dish close to his chin. According to a chronicler of the it was a pleasure to see him." ‘There was no conversation. But be- ‘hind his chair stood court fools cracking jokes. These had to be {god to make e emperor laugh, and then he only half smiled. He was a serious man with high aims, and this probably was why he stood above the two other great sovereigns of the early part of the sixteenth centur{ —Henry VIII of England and Francis of France. His greatest concern was his crusade against the Turks—that is to say, his war against “the infidel.” Charles was a tender-hearted man. He, for instance, forbade that a tent on which a swallow had built her nest should be struck. Longfellow has made this incident the occasion for a Foenn He liked to assoclate incognito with ordinary people, A poor man, knowing his democracy, appealed to him for aid. ‘;;Wo are all ldren of Adam,” he ©'Tis true we are” said Charles. “Well, T will send you a brotherly gift.” This turned out to be a leg of mut- . _The beneficlary complained. “Brother,” said the emperor, “it all the other sons of Adam send you as much as I do, you will be richer than Once he went’ unattended into an inn. Four thieves set upon him and took his hat and coat. Then they de- manded his gold chain and medal. “Permit me to show you how to use the medal” said Charles sardonically. He put it to his lips, blew a whistle concealed in it and brought his at- tendants running. The thieves were quickly hanged. When the city of Wittemberg sur- rendered to him, the Duke of Alva ad- vised him to take Martin Luther's body from the grave and burn it. “Let him rest; I wage war with the living, not the dead,” said Charles, il health led him to abdicate in favor of his son Phillp. He was fat and gouty and his body was covered with marks of poor health. He determined to end his days in a convent. During the ceremonies attending the crowning of his son, King Henry of France sent him a letter of good wishes by the Admiral Coligny. Charles scarcely could open it with his gouty gers. “Am I not a fine knight to break a lance,” he laughed, “when I can scarcely open a letter?"” About the same time he lald eyes on Brusquet, the court jester. He recalled My Neighbor Says: When_ preparing lettuce for salads, first remove the core or stem, then hold the head under the cold water faucet until the water separates the leaves.
