WOMAN’S PAGE. Cups and Linens for Bride-to-Be BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A custom still practiced by the friends of girls whe are newly engaged is the givi of ‘“engagement cups.” This tradition, to which good fortune attaches, dates back many generatidns. In some countries it is part of the mar- IT IS CUSTOMARY TO GIVE INDI- VIDUAL CUPS AND SAUCERS AND NOT SETS OF THEM. riage rite for the bride and groom to drink from the same cup. It is during this time when the social season is at jts height that there is opportunity to show our interest in those of our friends whose engagements are announced. It is a popular moment for such announcements to be made, and especially timely to consider ap- propriate ways of honoring the fiancees. Since only one cup is to be given something exquisite, which might not be easily possible to limif purse strings were more than one required. The giving of linens is traditionally correct and practieal in its welcome. The very word “wife”, is connected with the art of weaving linens, for in ancient times it meant the holder of the distaff whereas her mate was designated as the holder of the sword. The attractive thing about the two types of gifts men- tioned today is that the choice is so flexible, and the range of possibilities so great as to kind and expenditure, that it is possible for any one to make some sort of gift. It need hardly be mentioned that in having linens marked, they bear the initials of the maiden name of the bride to be. A combination of the two sorts of gift, china and linen, is very happily made when one elects to present a “breakfast coffee set.” A cup, napkin and tray cloth can be included. The color predominant in the decoration of the cup can be worked into an initial on the napkin and tray cloth. Or color- ed linen can be chosen. Hardly a bride~ to-be but would Wwelcome this modest luxury and be somewhat flattered by the suggestion of a life of leisure which it portends. (Copyright, 1930.) LIGHT MY WAY BY JOHN R. GUNN. Power of Observation. “The_hearing ear, and the ' seelng eye."—Proverbs, Xx.12. Of what use are ears and eyes if they do not serve one for the pu of hearing and seeing? And yet how many there are of whom it may be said, “Having ears, they hear not; hav- ing eyes, they see not.” “To behold is not necessary to ob- serve,” says Humboldt. We may see and yet make no discerning observa- tion as to the things we see. A Russian proverb says of the non- observant man, “He goes through the forest and sees no firewood.” That tells how many go through life. They pass their lives in listless inattention and indifference as to what is going on around them, perfectly con- tent to satisfy the mere cravings of nature, Such peopile never accomplish much, never achieve distinction. The men who succeed largely and distinguish themselves are men who keep a lynx- eyed vigilance, permitting nothing to escape them not even the smallest trifles, “It is the close observation of little things which is the secret of success in business, in art, in science, and in every pursuit in life,” sa) Samuel Smiles. It was from observing the tiny ship worm that Sir Isambard Brunel formed his idea of the Thames Tunnel. He saw how this little creature perforated the wood with its well armed head, first in one direction and then in anothér, till the archway was complete, and then daubing over the roof and sides with a kind of varnish. This supplied him with both pattern and method for the construction of the great tunnel under the Thames. ‘Here is the thing that makes genluses, 1 WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. 8.

The celluloid colony is struttiggemote proudly each day over the musieal es it has corralled, but the addition of Oscar Strauss to the list has about capped the climax. Some of the great are having weird experiences meanwhile. A few days ago Rudolf Friml was at the piano during the scoring of one of his numbers. A test was made. Then the company stood about to hear the verdict of the mixer, several hundred yards away in a celling booth. His voice came back clearly and loudly through the ampli~ fiers: “The stuff comes through O. K., boss, but tell that fool at the piano to pipe down.. Who does he think he is, any- way—a one-man orchestra?” One idea has caught on among pro- ducers. It is this: Song writing and music composing have a separate tech- nique. You can rush a man from titles into dialogue with indifferent success; you can even stand him behind the director and tell him he's “assisting”— but when you sit him down to a piano he must have the gift. ‘When Arthur Caesar was enjoying an idle spell on his studio lot one after- noon a supervisor dashed into the room with a sheet of lyrics in his hand. ‘Here, Caesar, drum me out some music for this stuff.” “I don't write music, You're think- ing of my brother, Irving Caesar.” “Well, here try it, anyway You haven't got anything to do, and you're both from the same family.

Outside the penitentiaries every one is, socially and legally, normal. Psy- chologically, that is, actually, the so- talled reformatories are not large enough to take care of the logical can- didates for admission. That's why crime is such a tremendous social prob- lem today. ‘There is & lot of talk nowadays about & “crime wave.” The avel normal citizen imagines that criminal tenden- cies are somehow inherited; that this is a Nation with a lot of bad blood in it; | that this wave is the result of a circu- | lation of something that shouldn't cir- | culate. Crime is not so much a question of some kind of blood, as it 15 a question of a struggle for existence. It’s a road that the once normal but later com- pletely maladjusted individual takes to git to that somewhere he thinks is his life-goal. Wflen does a person begin to be a criminal? When he grows up without a vocation; when he finds the going hard; when he begins to get lazy; when OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI. Family Pride. It is right to teach children pride in the family. It is right to teach them to be too proud to do what the family would consider beneath their dignity inasmuch as it was wrong. It is right to teach children a sense of family honor that they are to uphold in all their dealings with life. “No Smith ever does “You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” or worse yet, “Just like you! If you weren't doing something disgraceful I'd be _surprised.” Children are not usually conscious of any need for high living. Nature takes things in the large. Her gestures are sweeping, her view centuries long. Chil- dren are very close to Nature and quite in accord with her in the matter of de- tails of growth. In short, they have no motive for what we call “good conduct.” We have to supply one artificially, and this pride of family is one of the least harmful. Sometimes one of the family becomes a motive and an inspiration. “Your father thinks that one ought to have a bit of sportsmanship in playing games, I think he would not feel very good if he knew that you didn’t play fair.” Ad- vice like this will often clear a 9-year- old's vision on the matter of swift kicks and extramural punches. When a child tells lies because it is easier to do so than to face a situation that ealls for self-discipline, it helps things a bit if one says, “You had a grandfather whose word was as good as his bond. Once when he offered to sign a note for some money he owed, the man to whom he owed it said, ‘Your word is better than any note you could offer me. When you say you will do something I know you will do it if you are alive that day."” It is fine to feel the strength of & good father and mother, a hero grand- father or uncle, of some fine ancestor, behind you as you go upon your daily occasions, ‘The early school years and those of adolescence are illumined by the thought of the good deeds recorded against the family name, Honor 1is a gulllty of character that must be gained in some such way. It is a subtle quality that is drawn by in- ference rather than instilled by teach- ing. Indirect teaching by tradition and legend and story is the best sort for instilling a sense of honor. One does not talk about it, but toward it. One does not learn honor, one achieves it because one covets it. The story of 8ir Philip Sidney will do more to make a child covet honor than any amount of pedantic utterance. Out of a sense of family pride grows he decides to live by his wits. He may harbor feelings of maladjustment and discontent for years. Then he gives up the fight and goes in for a criminal career, which, so far as he can discover, is an easy y to make a living, an easy road to the preservation of his ego. | those to whom they will present an invidious contrast, nobody knows. “I RETURN TO YOU YOUR WEAPON, SIR, AND BEG_YOU TO PAY HEREAFTER.” tributed to the history of dueling. de St. Belmont. What Chance Has a Homely Girl it | DorothyDix| She Is Just as Likely to Find a Good Husband and Even More Likely to Keep Him. Considers Even “DO men ever fall in love with homely gifls?” a young woman pathetically asks. Of course they do, daughter. Look about you at any assemblage of married women. Precious few of them would ever have qualified for the Follies even when they were young and lithesome, yet some man has loved each nn: -.-v‘ery one of these ladies well enough to assume her board bill and shopping ticket for life. ‘There is no denying that good looks are a girl's greatest asset and that lucky is the maiden who has been endowed by nature with a peaches-and-cream complexion, hair with a permanent wave in it and the come-hither look in her soulful eyes. But while every man stops to look and to admire, not every man desires to possess himself of these charms. He looks at a pretty woman as he does at a diamond sunburst or a string of matched pearls. Fine and lovely. But not for him. It is & curlous fact, but it is a fact, that the men who rave the loudest about their worship of beauty in women and who are keenest in the pursuit of women who are human peacocks almost invariably rick out some plain little wren for a wife who hasn't a single gaudy feather with which to bless herself. Also, 1t is a notorious fact that beautles seldom make the best matches, and whether this is because men are not really as artistic as they believe them- selves to be or whether they think it will take too much money to furnish suitable frames for their living pictures or whether their vanity shrinks from marrying = ..

The count was taken prisoner, his force was disbanded and an officer of cavalry and some troopers were left behind to keep order. Mme. la Comtesse, being a woman and therefore not feared, was permitted to remain in the direction of her hus- band's estates, a thing she was well equipped to do, since she was of a firm, vigorous disposition, and well un- derstood the duties of management. She .was not the kind to make any sort of amicable overture to the officer of cavalry. When he took up his quar- ters in the castle without invitation, she hastened to write him a letter of protest. He calmly ignored her complaints. A few days later he received a challenge to a duel. So saying she swept grandly away, leaving him confused and ashamed. Needless to say, he sought not only different quarters but a different as- signment. He did not desire to submit himself to the covert laughs of the underlings who speedily became ac- quainted with his discomfiture. (Copyright, 1930.)

The battle is over and the two princi- pals are slowly recovering. It all start« ed over the ordinarily innocuous word, “provincial.” “The trouble with you Washington people is you are too provincial,” said the wise New Yorker. “Outside of the Senate and House,” he continued, “you are not interested in what goes on else- where.” The Washingtonian raised his eye- brows and replied: “Are you? I mean, do you know what is going on outside of Manhattan Island? Why, New York is the most pro- vincial city in the States! Also, it is the most gullible. It will pay $2 any time for u $1 arti- cle. It will come running to a bal- lyhoo, and y money to see if it is true. It will ride an hour on the sub- way for a nickel and boast about the longest trip in the world for the money. It will stand for hours about an excavation just to see the excavating machine lift clumps of mud from the hole. It will point out the homes of the wealthy, even though the pointer himself may live in a five- story walk-up. “Why, we Washingtonians take a car ride, and, while we don’t boast that it is the longest ride in the world, most of us can go from our homes to our offices in half an hour and see daylight en route. We may not throw telephone directories at our visiting celebrities, but our welcome to them is none the less sincere. We have no night clubs taking sap money from visitors, but we have a cultural environment to offer them for practically nothing. “If by ‘provincial’ you mean that we are not concerned with the political ac- tivities of New York, 8o are you and your old man, for you probably do not know the names of the District Com- missioners."” Before the argument was concluded, both men were staggering to their cor- ners, * K ok X We ran into the original “tin-eared sport.” “It looks,” said he, “as if this here Arthur (the Great) Shires of the White Sox had started out to eliminate the American League and part of the Na- tional.
