WOMAN’S PAGE. New Hats.With and Without Brims BY MARY MARSHALL. It is difficult to say now whether the high-brow type of hat will persist or whether after the first month or so of Spring it will make its final exit from NEW SPORTS HAT OF BRIGHT RED FELT SHOWS RETURN TO FAVOR OF MODIFIED CLOCHE. the stage of fashion. Among the hats now shown for late Winter and early Spring, as well as many of those de- signed for Southern resort wear, there at the front as any that we have had this Winter, but there is a significant number of hats showing some sort of brim or drapery above the face, and these hats we must admit are more be- coming than their high-brow prede- cessors, ‘The excuse to bring in hats with front brims for resort wear is obviously that they provide a welcome bit of shade to the eyes, but many women will welcome them because they are more flattering. Hats of the off-the-face sort have been difficult, to say the least. Only the woman with smooth, well pro- portioned forehead has been able to wear them to advantage with the hair this softening bit of hair showing the high-brow hat loses its smartness. The most popular and generally be~ coming type of Lat that we have ever worn is the cloche of soft felt. Women liked it, but in the end milliners did not because it stood in the way of any radical and profitable change in mil- linery fashions. As a matter of fact, the cloche never has entirely gone out of fashion and among the new hats for re- sort wear we find a number of decidedly attractive cloche shapes that are sure to be received with enthusiasm.

I wouldn’t give up once I had started. When I began I weighed just 219';. I am 5 feet 6% inches tall and 30 years old. Yesterday I weighed 157, a loss of 6214 pounds. Isn't that fine? I'm more than delighted. I used to wear a 44 brassiere; now I take 36. And am I wrinkled? Not a bit. In fact, my hubby says I look 10 years younger, and really that is how I feel. Am I near enough to my normal weight, or shall I get down to 1502 “Never, never again will I get so ter- ribly fat because of overeating. Count- ing calories isn't at all bad, and I've grown to love my daily walks. I walk 1% to 2 miles every day. ~ MRS. 8. According to the rule of allowing 110 pounds for 5 feet in height (in stocking feet) and 5l pounds for each inch over that, you should weigh around 145, so you are about 12 pounds over this standard, Mrs. S. However, it may be that this is not excess for you, if your framework is heavy. Usually, if there is 10 or 12 pounds excess, it is easier to gain more pounds on a diet that would not add extra weight if you were normal. You will have to find out for yourself whether that extra poundage is in excess for you. Walking is one of the best of the reducing exercises. One gets more oxy- gen into the lungs, and it stimulates the body fire a little, as all exercise does. One reason for the value of walking, of course, is that it is taken in the open, and another is that most people can indulge in it.

(Copyright, 1930.) NANCY PAGE Painted Backgrounds Help Needle Point. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. One of Nancy's friends was an artist, She had played around with water color and crayons. Needlework was her hobby. She often designed flowers, fruits and other patterns which were more individualistic than the ones in the shops. So when Nancy said she wanted to do a piece of needle point for a small stool Martha volunteered to draw the pattern for her. She stretched the canvas which was to be worked in a frame. While the textile was taut she drew the outline of the flower and then filled it in with paint. This gave an idea of the shading and made it easy for the petit point to be stitched in. The commercial patterns either have the pattern painted in or else founda- tion threads of split yarn have been lald crosswise on the canvas. The color is indicated by the color of yarn chosen for the background. By having the background painted in, Nancy found that her work was made easler in two ways. Not only was the correct color indicated, but the ecru Presents Object Lesson to Interfering Mothers .| DorothyDix| When the Newlyweds Fail to Get Along Together It Is Nearly Always Because Mother Is Standing on the Sidelines. A DANIEL, a second Daniel come to judgment. A Canadian judge has achieved the impossible. He has done something that even the most optimistic belleved could not be done. He has found a way to stop a meddling family from interfering in the affairs of a young married couple. A boy husband was arrested for beating his girl wife. At the trial it was shown that most of the trouble between the two was fomented by the man's mother, and in passing sentence thc magistrate sald: “I sentence you to two your family. All that your own family has to do to send you to jall and give you the lash is to interfere in your affairs. If they do, back you come for sen- tence.” Doubtless this concrete picture of the disaster that she will bring upon her son by stirring up trouble between him and his wife will hold this mother for a while and make her refrain from telling him what she thinks about his wife and what a poor, imperfect creature she is and what he ought to do about it. She will not like to visualize her darling boy languishing behind prison bars and having his tender flesh raw and bieeding from the merciless cut of a whip. Rather than have that happen to him she will forego the pleasure of criticizing her daughter-in-law, but it takes an object lesson like that to make a mother see the harm she is doing and that in alienating her son from his wife and sowing discord between them and breaking up his home, she is doing him just as great a wrong and ruining his life just as much as if she sent him to a prison cell and to suffer the shame of the pum!hmen_z of the wife-beater. Wy ACCORDING to statistics, mothers-in-law are the champion home-wreckers and are at the bottom of more divorces than all other causes combined, and common observation shows that when the newlyweds fail to hit it off and get along together, it is nearly always because his mother or her mother is standing on the sidelines promoting a fight. Left to themselves, Angelina and Augustus view each other through the rosy mists of love and never find out what & mistake they have made in picking each other out for husband and wife, and when they spat it is as children do and the next minute they kiss and make up and forget it, and all is well. But it is mother, who is far from being in love with her in-law, who pulls the scales from Angelina’s eyes and makes her see what & poor family worm of the dust Augustus is or who awakens Augustus to the fact that Angelina has a mil- lion defects that he had not previously perceived. It is mother who fills Angelina and Augustus with suspicions of each other and who, when they quarrel, urges Angelina not to let herself be trampled upon and bids Augustus stand firm and show that he is master of the house. It is not too much to say that the favorite indoor sport of millions of mothers is picking on their in-laws, They take a fiendish and malicious joy in pointing out to their children every fault of those to whom they are married. It is mother who darkly wonders if Augustus really has to work at night during an emergency, as he says he did. It is mother who reminds Angelina that Augustus forgot to bring her flowers on her anniversary day. It is mother who opines that Augustus must be lacking in ambition, for he gets along so slowly. It is mother who criti- cizes Augustus’ table manners and his grammar and the way he has of laughing at his own stories. Angelina may know that Augustus is good and kind and honest and indus- trious and thought herself lucky enough to get him for a husband before mother began pointing out his shortcomings, but after mother has kept it up long enough she only sees his blemishes and wonders why she married him. years in the reformatory with 10 lashes twice during imprisonment, but I will | suspend sentence on condition that you receive no advice or interference from | And it is the same way with Augustus. He doesn't know much about women nor how much their clothes should cost nor how many hours a day a wife should put in at hard labor at home, and he never would have found out that Angelina was extravagant and that she playsd bridge when she should have been sitting in the kitchen watching the stock pot and that she gadded too much, if mother hadn’t told him all about it, But by the time mother gets through pulling out all of Angelina's angel feathers he feels that she is a total loss as a wife and that he has drawn a blank in the matrimonial lottery. NOR can mother keep her fingers out of her children’s matrimonial pies and let them cook.them up their own way and according to their own taste. She is bound to tell them how to do it and to try to force them to use her own }l“eclpt’l..l 'lvélh the result that “mother says” is the fighting word in thousands of ouseholds, * For there is nothing else on earth that infuriates a young wife like having her mother-in-law dictate to her about how she shall run her house and whether she shall use doilies or tablecloths or use her best china every day. And there is nothing that makes the young husband say things that bring on a grand family row like having his wife's mother back-seat chauffeur his home and to have mother’s opinion flung continually in his teeth, And the pitiful thing about these mothers who break up their children's homes and drive them to divorce is that they don’t do it with deliberate malice; They are not trying to separate their children from their husbands and wives, They don't desire to see their grandchildren half-orphaned. When they criticize their in-laws they don’t realize that they are doing their best to make them dis- satisfied with their bargains.

SENATOR ELLISON DU RANT| SMITH, the pugnacious, robust senfor Senator Irom South Carolina, had better smile when he says United States Senators are not ‘lawyers. If he doesn’t, there may be trou- ble some day. For of the 96 men in the Senate, more than 65 per cent are lawyers. And of that 85 per cent there are several fully _capable of upholding the legal profession and making it hot for Smith. Senator Smith availed himself of the opportunity to take a crack at lawyers the other day while the Senate was considering | the nomination of Robert M. Jones to | the Interstate Commerce Commission. | McKellar of Tennessee had just told the Senate what a good lawyer Jones | was, when Smith arose to remark that | it. amused him greatly to hear it fm- plied that because a man is a lawyer | he is qualified to fill any job in America. | “It depends on what kind of a lawyer he is,” McKellar suggested. Smith came back with the statement that if he is the kind he had been as- sociated with he should still have to question him. “Perhaps the Senator has not asso- ciated ‘with very good lawyers” Me- Kellar again ventured. “I have not,” Smith replied, “not in | OUR Brave words for a man outside the profession to say. But then he prob- ably knew he was on safe ground. He not only smiled a bit when he said it, but if he had been challenged he knew he could tell them that he was in a way qualified to speak, for he had stud- ied law once himself. Regardless of whether members of the Senate are good lawyers or bad ones, the fact remains that there are more of them there than representa- tives of any other profession. ‘There are only four States—Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey and North Dakota—which are not represented in the Senate by lawyers. Kansas' two Senators are newspaper men, but Vice President Curtis makes up for the loss. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Flor- ida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Wash- ington and West Virginia are repre- sented exclusively by lawyers. And there must be a sufficient num- ber of this group who consider them- selves good enough to warrant some one challenging Smith's statement. Mrs. Herbert Hoover had to pay $5 for $3 worth of Christmas seals. At the White House the other day a badly frightened but well coached little girl was making the sale as cameras recorded the scene. “How much are they?" the Pirst Lady inquired. “Three dollars,” replied the scared little girl, in a voice scarcely audible. “But I haven't $3,” said Mr<. Hoover. “I have only $5. Have you any change?” ‘The little girl hadn't, so Mrs. Hoover paid over the extra $2.

Children ought to list their them and write the “thank you” let- | ters.

Try to see that they get it. JABBY | lllllllllll' “When I told that big dog I could Encourage them to make their letters interesting. The short and simple record, “Dear Gram, I got your Christ~ mas gift and liked it fine,” Is about all the 9-year-old youngster will be able to think up. However, if you suggest that he tell Gram that he had asked for a flyer but never thought he could have one, that red and green were the colors he most wanted, that he had looked at a sled exactly like the one she sent him every day for a month, praying that Santa would put his ad- dress on it, that he had tried it out Christmas afternoon and had never had such a good time in his life, that he hoped Gram would come ovet soon and he would give her the swiftest ride she ever had and pull her up the hill again—if he could and he would try hard, making the letter a real thing, a bit of the boy himself, that would make his Gram’s eyes shine—you will give the youngster a lift that will carry him for many a day to come. Don't be too fussy about the spelling and the blots. The ideas are the thing. Children cannot write letters offhand. And to make them write and rewrite kills the whole thing. Gram knows this lad is 9 years old; kriows what an effort he had to make to send her a long letter, written in ink, with only a couple of blots and a few finger marks on it. The signs of his struggle are very comforting to the proud grand- mother. I think that these letters of thanks are an obligation. written. If the chil gift does not want to write his thanks, he ought to be deprived of the gift until he has met his obligation. ‘ Life will be far happier in the da to come if the children learn to appreciative of kindness, if they learn t thank those who go out of thelr 2y to help children. It is not that grown people want so much to be paild for what they do, but they mightily appreciate a word of recognition from the children they love. A letter is not much to ask. .

GUNN. Heroes. “Beat your plowshares into swords and | weak say, 1 am strong."—Joel, iii.10. In Joel's time the man with the sword and spear was the strong man. He was the popular hero. He was the man upon whom the nation depended for its defense. The man of the plowshare or pruninghook was a weak man. He was unimportant. Nobody thought much of him. He held no heroic place in the popular imagination. And in the popular imagination of the resent time that old idea still holds sway o a very considerable extent. We have not vet built any monuments in honor of the plowman, or in honor of the gardener. The swordsman, the spearman, is still the man whose exploits we celebrate in our memorials. However, we are beginning to reverse our idess as to the relative importance of the man of the battlefleld and the man of the grain field. We are be- ginning to see that the man in overalls is at least no less a hero than the man in khaki; that the man who wields the scythe, or spade, or crowbar, or axe, or hammer, or trowel, is as truly a de- fender of the nation as the man armed with gun, or sword, or lance, or bayo- net. We no longer think of the plowman as a weak and unimportant factor in the nation. We now recognize the prun- inghook, no less than the sword, as an enchanted blade. In some future time, the workman, rather than the warrior, will be the man whose deeds will be memorialized in public parks and halls of fame. Hope- fully the world waits for the time when the recognized heroes will be the heroes of the plowshare and pruninghook. Peanut Butter Soup.

L S At a grand fete in the Palace of Versailles the Marquise de Nesle and the Countess de Polignac had a terrible quarrel, The object of the quarrel was that celebrated Duc de Richelieu, who has been mentioned in previous articles of this series. The duc had had_every experience in love, except one. Ladles of high degree and low had lost their hearts over him, but none ever had fought a duel for possession of him.

But it had not gone far when Mme. de Nesle went stark mad, sprang upon the counte: and endeavored to tear a diamon necklace from her neck. The countess prevented her from Succeeding. But the marquise wrested from her corsage a bouquet of red roses and struck the countess in the face with them. In her turn the lady of Polignac went berserker, The result was a wild battle that horrified the court. Blows and scratches were administered in profu- sion.

The ladies took their stand and fired one shot at each other without effect. The seconds now rushed in, feeling that the demands of honor had been satis- fled and that the proceedings should cease. But with one voice they were told to “stand back.” The duelists demanded fresh pistols. Remonstrances were of no use. They fired again.
