wWOoMm AN'% PAGE. THE EVENING Buying of Beach-Resort Clothes BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘To some people it still seems just a little absuré to start talking about so- called Palm Beach clothes when only a small minority of people ever even think of going to Palm Beach and when Win- ter hes actually been with us only three | or four days.

Ac- tually, of course, a considerable propor- tion of the Southern resorts clothes sold in Northern cities never even gets a smell of a real Southern resort. In Northern dresses are chosen by women to be worn under fur or heavy cloth coats. There are jacket suits of lightweight tweed that may also be worn beneath a top- Spring even on dark days In January. And in the more Southern cities there are many days in Winter when these lighter dresses and suits are much more al te for stay-at-home wear than the more somber, heavier clothes that Paris devises for real Winter wear. You may be assured that well chosen clothes of the resort sort bought now ‘will be perfectly appropriate for wear all dur ng the Spring. Then, of course, if you are one of the favored ones who can take a Midwinter holiday you will have clothes that are appropriate and that will give you the feeling of being well dressed. If you will send your stamped, self- | addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, we will forward this week's circular showing how to make the ruffle for one of the frilled blouses that are smart to be worn with a cardigan or jacket suit.

As you depart, to let your blithe successor start upon its promising career, I think you've been a old ye: Of course a poor man here and there complains that he is in despair; he says his chil- dren daily cry, and cry in vain for pumpkin pie; he hunts for work throughout the town and all employ- ers turn him down. But nearly every one I know is earning good and ample dough; few are so poor they cennot drive their cars with pistons fou: or five; few are so poor they do not know the blessings of the radio. 'Tis true that chaos, sad and strange, came down upon the Stock Exchange, and paper profits disappeared, and many a fellow tore his beard and cried aloud in anguished tones that he had lost a million bones. The coin he lost he never had, and so his plight was not so bad. But men of sense and judgment fine, who put their kopecks down in brine and bought good bonds and things like those, avoided all such grievous throes. 'Tis true hot weather hurt the corn, and farmers wished they were not born; some cornfields shriveled in a night, but other crops came through all right, the cows gave milk, the hens laid eggs, enough to fill the farmer's kegs, the apple trees were loaded down with fruit they marketed in town, and in the end, 'most everywhere, thin; turned out right side up with cas Good-by, old year, you had your flaw: like every year that ever was, but when cities the now lighter, more colorful The Sidewalks I view you, con and pro, I rather hate to see you go. ‘WALT MASON. of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. ‘Wanted to exchange—Four pairs of men’s slippers for a spare tire or what have you.

Christmas has brought into almost every home some household furnishings, furniture or equipments. They make the house more attractive, more com- plete and promote ease in the accom- plishment of housework. Such gifts, While they lack a personal note, are often among the most welcome to the home maker. All through the year and probably for many years to come they will be enjoyed. The questioy arises what shall be done with the old things whose place the new articles will take? To keep both the old and the new is usually out of the question. The old is supplanted by something better, and there is not spate in the house for both. If the old article is not entirely worn out and useless, why not give it to some one who needs it? Since there is no time like the pres- ent, now is the right time to get rid of the old articles. Think who will be glad | lo have what you can give, It may be hat you can save such persons money. They may be planning to buy just what you can give them, By sending the ar- Hcle now, their outlay can be saved for & something else they are eager to get for the home. You can put it in the light of a favor to you if the persons will accept the ar- ticles. Make the offer first, and see if you are right in the conjecture that the things may be welcome. If the articles are tactfully offered they will be gra- ciously received or courteously declined. Do not be offended if the persons do the latter, for they may feel they have no room for the things unless much needed. Or they may have other plans. However, if such is the case, some one else may be simply delighted to get the articles. 'h? again. It is possible for you to help others make their homes more attractive by your thoughtfulness in giving wisely. It 1s important to give humbly and to accept graclously. Perhaps those who receive will thereby be enabled to pass on to others some things that they have. Do not act as if conferring a favor when giving something, especially something you really must get rid of, even though it may be in good condi- tion and be good looking. The sure of giving can be reaped only when the reciplent is happy over &egmnl the thing offered, as well as giver in bestowing it, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. December 28, 1865.—~There was not a large attendance of visitors at the White House today and none of those who did come were granted an inter- | view with President Johnson, whose time was occupied until afternoon by conferences with Secretary or War Stanton, Secretary of the Treasury McOulloch and Gen. Grant, who came in about 12 o'clock. An excellent profile portrait of the ident has been prepared. silver copies of which are to be distributed among those of the Indian chiefs of the West who have observed the obliga- Hflnflt of their treaties with the Govern- | ment. ‘The quartermaster general of the Army, upon the recommendation of | Gen. Grant, has ordered the sale of all the Government buildings at Point Lookout, Md., at the mouth of the Po- tomac River. These include over 80 buildings, some of which are very large. They were used to take care of Con- federate prisoners during the war and | the United States troops stationed there to guard them and to protect the point from possible assault by water by the Confederate forces in Virginia. The steam laundry used in washing for the Confederate prisoners and the Federal troops on duty there, together with the wharf timber, will also be sold. ‘The efforts which have been made through Congress and the President to have the buildings at Point Lookout set apart by the Government for a military and naval asylum delayed actiod on the subject for some time. After care- ful consideration of the matter by the authorities, it was deeemed advisable to sell this property and adopt some other method of assisting the philanthropic efforts of the people in behalf of dis- abled soldiers and seamen. Gen. Augur, commanding the Military Department of Washington, has ordered Lieut. Col. Ayre, in command at Alex- andria, Va., to arrest all parties con- cerned in the riots in that city on Christmas day and not to release any persons arrested on the demands of the civil authorities, but to refer all such cases to the military departmental headquarters in this city. The loyal men in Alexandria are pe- titloning Gen. Augur for an additional military force for patrols, alleging that the conduct of returned Confederate soldiers renders it unsafe for t/nion men to pass along the streets at night. Be- fore this request is granted. it is ex- pected that Gen. Augur will have an investigation made to determine the tru‘:g about the conditions in Alex- andria.

But it is rather hard i Hmifimfl" il | L I " A\ when people are coming and going and excitement is in the air. She found that he was fretful and weepy. He had been such a good child up to this time that Nancy really blamed herself- She did a number of things to remedy the situation. First, she saw to it that he had his orange juice, prune puree, well mashed carrots, milk and cod liver oil. She Bought round steak with the round bone in its midst. In this bone's hol- low was a small round of marrow. She carefully removed this and broiled it lightly. Peter Junior had it on a small round of toast and loved it. ‘Then Nancy spent more time with him. She took him in her lap and told ‘him stories. Even at this age he liked the rhythm and repetition which comes in a well written or told tale. She took away some of his toys. He| had too many distracting things about him. Mechanical toys, toys with move- ment, seemed to excite him. But he played quietly with his blocks and his boat. His ball and his Teddy were other favorites. He was put to bed early in the after- noon for a nap and went to bed ear! No _exciting flmes of high-and-seel ?eek;boo or big rumbling bear were al lowed. A few days of this sensible and quiet regime soon brought him back to his normal, sunny, good-natured self.

(Copyright, 1929.) v FEATURES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Double Chin and Eye Wrinkles. Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Will you please tell me what I can do to remove tiny wrinkles from under my eyes? I am sure that I get enough sleep. (2) When I hold my head down the skin under my chin wrinkles and I have a double chin. I scrub my neck every day with a bath brush. Do you think that is the.cause? (3) Will neck exer- cises improve this condition? Mother says I hold my head down too much. (4) Should I use a skin food or will I make it worse if I massage it? Thank- ing you very much for your advice. ATHERINE. Answer—(1) Perhaps your skin is in- clined to be a little dry and that is the reason for the eye wrinkles appearing, or perhaps you use your eyes a great deal for close work or studying. Have your eyes examined and find out if you need to wear glasses. After the skin has been cleansed at bedtime pat a little cold cream or ofl on the wrinkles, wipe off the excess and leave a little on the skin overnight to lubricate it dur- ing sleep. (2) The bath brush should stimulate the skin and neck muscles and thus help to prevent a double chin | and flabbiness rather than cause it. However, when using it, it is best to use a patting movement rather than a rub- bing motion. Be sure to practice cor~ rect posture when standing, sitting or walking. Hold your chin up, chest ele- vated and shoulders well back. Incor- rect posture is responsible for a great many double chins. (3) Yes, the neck exercises and massage treatments should be taken regularly, as they will help to keep the chin and throat line youth- ful. Your mother is quite right and you must learn to hold your head up. (4) After cleansing the neck at bed- time pat on a little tissue cream or skin food and massage the neck for several minutes. Wipe off excess cream and take a few neck-bending exercises. Moisten a pad in a mild astringent, such as witch hazel, and remove the re- mainder of the cream. Take the exer- cises every night and morning. LOIS Diet Hints for Underweights. Dear Miss Leeds: Like many others, I am coming to you with my beauty problems. (1) I am a girl of 17 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and weigh 111 pounds. How much underweight am I? (2) How can I gain weight? (3) Am I too tall? (4) I am becoming round-shouldered. How can I over- come this? (5) I saw in your column recently a lotion to remove freckles. Should I use it? I have a few pim- ples. Wil the freckle lotion make them worse? (6) I have a long face and wear a windblown bob. Do you think if I curled my hair it would make my face look longer? MISS M. E. Answer—(1) You should weigh be- tween 130 and 136 pounds for your age and height. Try to gain as near your ideal weight as possible. (2) To gain weight be sure that you are eating a well balanced diet. includ- LEEDS. ing at least one quart of milk extik every day. Eat slowly and masti x your food thoroughly. Learn to re before and after meals. Be sure to have sufficlent sleep every night, Spend an hour or more in the fresh EIH and sunshine every day. Relax during the day as much as possible.

TIf you will write me again and send'a self-addressed, stamped envelope, with a request for my leaflet on how to gaint weight, I shall be pleased to mail ‘it. There are several menu suggestions atd exercises that will help you. > (3) No, you are not too tall. A tall person can be very graceful if she maintains correct posture. You haps appear taller at the present tij because you are so much underweig] When you gain your normal weight, des velop a graceful carriage and hum%_ well rounded curves your figure will' be greatly improved and you will enjoy vibrant health. (4) I suspect that one of the reasons: you are round-shouldered is becaugs you feel self-conscious about your height and so you do not try to stamd your full height. Improve your posture by holding the body as tall as possible, with chin level, chest elevated and ab< domen in. Try to take a walk out of doors every day and during this walk’ make a practice of maintaining correét, posture and' deep breathing. LA (5) Yes, you may use the freckle 62 tion as directed.

LOIS 1020 ime_ se (Copyright, MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, December 28 (N.AN.A.) —We are To‘nt conventional in Hollywood. ~Bessie Love is bel married tonight in a cathedral, with orange blossoms 'n’ everything, with matrons of honor and maids of honor, with all the paraphernalia of an old- fashioned wedding ceremony. (There'll probably be wedding cake for the guests to sleep on.) ‘Time was when a good movie wedding had to be done in the elopement style to give it cachet. But conventionality is the smartest thing a movie can achieve these days. The Agua Caliente elopements are . The secret mar- riages, such as Sue Carol's and Micky Stewart's, are considered in bad taste. And the old free-love propaganda, as sponsored by Nazimova in the days when the movie colony was a crazy and colorful and amusing place, is gone for- ever. So we behold engraved invitations, bidding us to be present at the marriage of Miss Bessie Love and William Hawks. Carmel Myers (Mrs. Willlam Hellman Blum) will be matron of honor. The two girls have known each other for years. And the whole affair will smack of Park avenue, as near as Hollywood can make it. Hollywood has a weather eye out for Rudolph Priml. He was to have arrived here weeks ago, but after meeting trains ineffectually for days and days the studio concerned discovered that the musical genius, Prinl, had got as far as Chicago and no farther. As he is being relied upon to make the Hammerstein operetta a bigger and better event of the 1930 season, this is | St serious. But his delinquency will give him standing in a colony that is highly imps by a snub. Those who be- lieve thoroughly in themselves are al- ways impressed by a slight.

JESSE A good many men of first-rate sclen- tific ability are beginning to say that the season makes the man. Of course, they cannot be dogmatic about this point, for climate is only one of the thousands of factors that enter into the sum-total of human surroundings. But climate stands out; it is important enough to qualify as a factor wortheon- sidering. b i ‘X’hnc do the seasonal phychologists nd? Cesare Lombroso (1836-1909), the great Italian criminologist, held that the month in which a person was born seemed to have something to do with that person’s temperament. The month of May, from his investigations, ap- peared to produce artists; the montl of September and April coming in for second and third honors; the least fa- vorable birth months for artistic tem- peraments were February, October and December, Lombroso was of the opin- fon that the prevalling atmospheric conditions at the time of one's birth determined the steps that the new-born took as he started down the road of life. These first steps tended to lead him into certain paths, ending in fairly predictable vocational aptitudes. Is there anythiry to the Lombrosian | theory? We turn to a consideration of | the work of a modern student, Charles | Kassel. Kassel has been at work on the sub- ject for several years. He finds that 24 per cent of all American geniuses are born in January. He names April, May and February for second, third and fourth ~positions as genius-producing months. In the case of English geniuses, October, November and December take rank in the order named.
