WOMAN'S PAGE. EATURES Prench women pride themselves on their faculty for dressing to the acca- sion. Much of their reputation for smartness depends on the fact that they have an unusual knack of wear- “ing clothes that are appropriate for the time and the place. American women are rapidly catching up in this and in their choice of sports clothes, especially, American women have won the reputation for unusually good judgment, women, who might otherwise be considered very well dressed, miss APPROPRIATE FOR RESTAURANT WEAR IS THIS BLACK VELVET DRESS WITH ROUND NECK FILLED IN WITH FLESH- COLORED CHIFFON, WORN WITH A DRAPED SATIN RIBBON HAT. out because they do not stop to con- sider the precise requirements of the occasion.

And they attend church weddings in the city in clothes that might have been better chosen for a home wedding in the country. It is often possible to spot strangers who have come to the city for the first time from small communities. Now- adays this is not because their clothes | are any less up-to-date, because new fashions reach Main Street practically as soon as they do Fifth Avenue. The trouble simply is that their clothes are not—from the city woman's point of view—quite appropriate. ‘This week’s help for the home dress- maker gives diagram pattern and di- rections for making a collar of velvet or fabric fur that may be worn with a sult or coat instead of a fur collar. ‘These dressmaker scarfs are very smart at present and the one shown in the circular is not at all difficuit to make.

Prophecy. When the “iron horse” first came to his town, a farmer was induced to leave his plow and make an inspection of the much-talked-of invention. According to this threadbare story, his only remark was: “They will never get it started.” But it did move. Then he said: “They will never get it stopped.” Human nature is conservative. Rad- ical changes are hard to make, because straight-thinking is a painful, distaste- ful occupation. Prophets of all sorts are ready and eager to forecast any- thing and everythirg. For every true prophet, there must be some ten thousand false ones who say, “It can't be done.” Back in Kep- ler's time such false prophets actually refused to look through his telescope. Prophets are sometimes noted for stub- bornness as well as for their knowledge of the stars, the meaning of coloration on a goose bone and so on ad infinitum. The crop of false prophets never fails. Today I read of a lot of high-minded men who declare that science is about to destroy civilization. False prophets! Civilization is a question of insight plus faith. Insight first. If civilization is to amount to anything. it will be be- cause of science. The civilization that cannot look facts in the face isn't worth perpetuating. Those prophets who know nothing but lore are false. Those who have a genius for putting related facts together become the inventors, the true prophets. Every invention is a collection of facts. Every collection of inventions, a civilization. The prophet who doesn’t understand these premises will continue to deal in lore.

She was acutely i conscious of the attention the pair were creating. Nancy wondered why people could not be careful of their voices and their conversations in public places.

We do not like to think of any shadows upon these pictures, but, nevertheless, they are there. 5 Our life is filled with uncertainties. A slight change in the business markets may turn our dreams of good fortune into shadows of misfortune. A death in the family may turn our picture of hap- piness into a picture of sadness. Our plans and hopes and dreams of life are constantly crumbling before our eyes. The tides of the sea of time are con- stantly lapping the shores of our life, | washing y our most promising pros- pects. In all our bright pictures of the future there is a mingling of shadows.

And yet in the midst of his shadowlike days we hear him saying: “Though I walk through the PARIS.—Wraps like this one with to the Riviera and Palm Beach for wear in means Summer weather. Your Baby Premet model. ‘The first six weeks of a baby's life are a rather crucial period for him, and equally for his mother. There is a feel- ing on her part that, now the baby has arrived, her troubles are over. She resents being made to feel like an in- valid. She considers the doctor an old “granny,” who advises rest and still more rest. In fact, her relief from the various tensions under which she has been laboring gives her a false sense of well-being, which she is all too apt to drive to the point of exhaustion. ‘The new mother should be warned that her first six weeks are a period of caution, as well as a period of training for the baby. It is silly and foolhardy to fly in the face of advice, which is not overcautious but merely sensible and understanding. She has no right to deplete her strength and deprive baby of the bounties that can be fur- nished by a calm and rested mother. She may take gentle exercises in bed, under the advice of her doctor, but in bed she should stay for 10 days at the very least (and two weeks are even better) and she should take naps and rest periods and avoid running upstairs and managing the household until baby is at least six weeks old. At the end of tl time, she may consider that her adventure is over. The whole household will be happier it baby has, in that length of time, learned to hum in tune with it. A rested mother, one who demands and gets a nap while baby sleeps, one who coddles herself a little, will be better equipped to start the little machine to working rhythmically. Some psychologists say that baby can be made or marred by the treatment he receives in the first hour of his life. We can only hope that our children were not entirely spoiled by misman- agement the first hour of their lives, but we do feel that if baby isn't led gently toward regularity the first six weeks of his young life and the right habits established, the task becomes progressively more hopeless. Not that the mother must despair utterly, but we hope she’ll realize that the first six weeks are the ideal period for training and not after that.

It takes only a little effort to accustom him to sleeping most of the hours between his nursings. The efforts have to be made with a clear consciousness of the importance of this early regularity. Half-hearted attempts | are wasted. If baby is even once given the idea that his cries will be rewarded by food, even when food is obviously not to be expected, he never forgets it. | Babies like to eat.

Some are of a more nervous tempera. ment. But all babies, unless injured at birth, or atrociously misfed, will, in| record time, settle down to the schedule laid out for them by mother or nurse. Habits are easily established. Habits that are as conducive to baby’s sense of well being and contentment as regular naps and regular feeding periods, are especially so. If the baby is leading a helter-skelter life, being fed whenever he cries and sleeping when hé desires, it is possible to discover behind the mother’s faflure a lurking disbelief in the possibility of making a little ma- chine of the baby. This is fostered by | other mothers who haven’t been able to, | or by a host of relatives and in-laws, who follow some general law in just be- ing naturally opposed to almost any- thing the new mother sets out to do. If the mother sticks patiently to a schedule the first six weeks, watches the clock, puts baby to bed on the dot of the hour and nurses him likewise, one may be sure that his schedule and the | certainty one feels that it will be suc-t cessful will be responsible for its success. | T A PAIR OF INTERESTING OLD TEAPOTS DATING BACK TO THE | MIDDLE OF THE Antique teapots reflect in their size the period to which they belong. In the days of good Queen Anne, when tea sold for prices corresponding to $20 and $30 a pound, the pots were small. Tea was a great luxury and was kept in exquisite tea caddies under lock and —4.

In fact, many housewives maintain that tea should never be brewed in anything but pottery or pocelain, and that even to January 4, 1869.—“The course of Tiber Creek having been changed by the building of the arch through the Bo- tanic Garden, which, being so con- structed, throws the water southwardly, from Third street, so that it no longer empties in the canal westwardly,” says “P. M. P.” in a communication to The Evening Star today, “consequently there is no longer any necessity for the canal from this point—Third street—as an outlet for Tiber Creek. “I would, therefore, suggest that the canal be closed from Fifteenth to Third streets—from Seventeenth to Pifteenth streets to be continued as a basin to receive the waters of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, having its present out- let in the Potomac. This basin, dredged to proper depth. will allow of consider- able business being done in the landing of coal, wood and lumber, which now lands in the Potomac. “Then build a sewer on the north side of the canal or down Pennsylvania ave- nue, emptying in the canal at Third street. Thus the drainage of said sewer, following the course of the Tiber, will empty into the Eastern Branch. Then fill up the canal from Fifteenth and Third streets.” The Columbia Typographical Society, which is in its fifty-fifth year, has in- stalled the following new officers for the year: President, Charles I.

SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. Why, 'iss is more like a cow an' a SUB ROSA BY MIML Why Lovelornt There is a saying that the heart knoweth its own bitterness, but no saying that the heart knoweth its own sweetness. It must be that we become acquainted with sorrow more easily than with joy. Not all those who feel the sorrows of love write to the Love Lore Editor to recite their woes in print. Most of the lovelorners, and probably the real ones, keep their heartaches to them- selves. The heart knows the kind of bitterness which can spring from dis- appointed love. But, after all, there is really some- thing natural about the slliance be- tween love and sorrow. They are dif- ferent in most respects, but they have one thing in common—depth and feel- 1nr,,‘ It is as though two different things sank to the level as both gold and lead sink to the bottom of the sea. One is preclous compared with the other, but both are very heavy. ‘The idea seems to be that love 1s an experience which cannot be carried along by the feeling of joy, hence it must turn to sorrow for its real ex- pression. We take pleasure ir trifles and are made happy by love's lighter moods. But when love itself speaks, the accompaniment must be in the minor key of sadness. You couldn't hope to carry a valu- able amount of gold in a light basket. You'd need a strong, heavy vehicle. In the same way, the gold of iove is so precious and so heavy in its precious- ness that it requires the burdened heart to bear it. But the kind of sorrow which is felt when one is sweetly anguished over love is something different from pain. ‘The love sorrow is something which we welcome since it shows us that we are carrying a heavy load of precious feeling. Maybe the human heart is like Horatio of whom Hamlet, his boy friend, said—"“Thou art as one who suffers all and suffers nought.” It's something like that anyhow. He meant that Mr. Horatio suffered and didn't suffer. Love is like that. It makes us sad about everything and nothing. It gives us & pain because it can appeal to us in no other way. It's such a real feel ing that it has to get right down into | the roots of the heart. Be sure you're really lovelorn be- fore you appeal to the_editor of ihe Broken Heart Column. It may be that the love sorrow you feel is only love itself making its reality felt. (Copyright, 1930.) AUNT HET BY ROBERT QU { pened to me. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Dry Skin and Wrinkles. Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me what treatment to give a very dry skin. Mine is so rough and wrinkles are forming rapidly. MRS. S. J. Answer — Wrinkles do form very quickly when the skin is very dry. Use a cleansing cream or oil to cleanse the face every night and morning. Twice a week use the oily facial pack which is given after the skin has been thorough- ly cleansed. Warm a little almond oli or special muscle oil and apply it to the face. Cut out a piece of gauze large enough to cover the face with eye, nose and mouth cut out. Apply more warm oil over the mask and leav> on the skin half an hour or more. Wipe off the oil and apply a mild skin tonic and allow it to dry on the skin.

They are the size of a pin head and about as oval. _Although small they annoy me, and I am hoping you can give us a cure for them. MRS. H. Answer—One of the best ways to treat warts at home is to apply an ofly lotion or salve twice a day. Castor oil, vaseline, lanolin or cocoa butter may be used for this purpose. Many of the readers have kindly written in telling of their experiences in getting rid of warts. One who signs herself “An Interested Reader” writes as follows: “Mix common baking soda with vinegar to form a thick paste. Apply as often as convenient during the day and at night apply and wrap. After a few applications the wart will appear white and scaly and if used diligently will disappear in a very short time.” Several readers have been very suc- cessful in getting rid of warts by using castor oil. Mrs. L. W. writes: “Severa’ years ago I had a large seed wart on my hand #nd removed it by applying castor oil every night. Put the oil on a plece of coiton and bind it on the wart with adhesive tape. This seems to kill the seeds and turn them black and come out a few at a time and finally the whole wart will come out and the hole will heal up. There is nothing harmful in the castor oil and it surely Special Dispatch to The Star. | HOLLYWOOD, Calif, January 4 (N.AN.A.) —Mary Pickford and Doug- | las Fairbanks returned yesterday morn. |ing to the saddest Hollywood of all its | brief and glamorous history. | Our Mary finds Mary Astor, her friend of years, a widow, due to an air- | plane accident Thursday which plunged 10 members of the Fox studio staff into eternity. 10 humans, all of whom were youn; and seven of whom were still in their twenties, has flung a pall upon the busy hive of gelatin workers.
