woM Working Tapes BY LYDIA LE BaRCN WALKER. THERE IS PLENTY OF CANVAS SURROUNDING A PATTERN FOR THE SIZE TO BE INCREASED BY WORKING EXTRA ROWS OF GROUNDING. Tapestry embroidery continues to be a favorite form of decorative stitchery. It is a variety that holds its own re- markably. Nor is this strange, for it is an embroidery of great antiquity once ‘worked on warp threads on a loom. Now it is done on specially woven textiles in which threads of warp and woof cross at right angles, leaving spaces to sim- plify the counting of threads. On such textiles there can be the same preci- sion of stitchery that is found in an- tique tapestry. It should be remembered, however, that all such tapestry is replica work. Genuine tapestries are loom-embroider- ed on a woven textile. This does not revent modern tapestry embroidery rom being exquisite. It is a matter of technical difference that is stressed, although it cannot be denied that the original is by far the more difficult, intricate and laborious. Modern tapes- try embroidery is delightful to do, not arduous. There are certain ways in which the embroidery should be done to insure its being straight and even and by means of which the working medium (generally worsted) is thriftily employ- ed. In the work now described, tent- The Sidewalks BY THORNTON FISHER. A radio in the corner of the ward- yoom cf the destroyer U. 8. . Porter was gently translating impulses into the latest jazz melodies. From the deck of a sister ship nearby came the eerie | gu strains of taps. ‘The crew of the Porter, consisting of approximately 90 men, had turned in for the night. Up on the bridge a quartermaster lonely watch, oc- casionally pouring a cup of coffee from a steaming percolator, for it was a cold, damp evening. Cards lay in profusion on the 'reenmg table in the ward- room, afound which were seated four officers and the writer. th the open came the zound of the wash of the waves, as they slapped the trim white sides of Uncle Sam's seagoing police boat, offi- énn'yudenmun as the Coast Guard ervice. The four officers, minions of the Federal law, tilted back their chairs and lighted cigarettes. They were in an amiable frame of mind, for they were resting from |, their vigilant pa- trol of the sea. ‘These smartly uni- formed young men were not thinking of “rummies” and smugglers tonight. Even the guns on the forward and aftdecks had been covered with pro- tecting canvas. How gquickly their smiling fea- tures might change to grim determina- tion if an alarm had been sounded. At the head of the bunk in each cabin was slung a 45 automatic, loaded and ready for immediate business. ‘The U. S. S. Porter has & id war reccrd, though in peace time it is under the jurisdiction of the Treasury Depart- ment. Its executive officer, Lieut. Har- old L. Connor, was in charge during the absence of Comdr. Yeandel this night. Lieut. Connor has engaged in many thrilling adventures; too many to enumerate. Recently the public has heard much concerning the activities of the Coast | Guard service and has come to rmrdl it as sclely functioning as a “rum- chasing” unit, It is more than that. The official regulations stipulate the ;r‘r‘wrnl duties of the Coast Guard as | ollows: | “(a) Rendering assistance to vessels in distress and saving life and property. | “(b) Protection of the customs rev- enue. (This includes rum chasing.) “(c) Desiruction or. removal of wreeks, derelicts or other dangers to navigation. “(d) Extending medical aid to United States vessels engaged in deep-sea fisheries. | “(e) Operating as a part of the Navy in time of war or when the President sh~ll so direct. “(f) Enforcement of rules and regu- lations governing anchorage of vessels. “(g) Enforcement cf laws relating to immigration, quarantine and neutrality. “(h) Suppression of mutinies on mer- chant vessels, “() Enforcement of navigation and other laws governing merchant vessels and motor boats. ‘#j) Enforcement of law to provide for safety of lifz on navigable waters during regattas or marine parades. “(k) Protection of game and the seal and other fisheries in Alaska, etc. a “(1) Enforcement of sponge fishing aw. “(m) Administering oaths generally in Alaska. “(n) Collecting statistics regarding loss of life and property on vessels.” It can readily be seen that rum chasing is only one of the many func- tions of the Coast Guard, of which Rear Admiral Frederick C. Billard is commandant. Officers of the Coast. Guard must be men of cool, calm judg- ment. Theirs is a posit of respon- sibility and a single error might easily evoke international trouble.

MONDAY, JANUARY try Embroidery stitch, sometimes called half cross-stitch is the one emgleyed, It is one more nearly resembling tapestry weaving than cross-stitch so frequently em- ployed. Always have the stitches slant in one and the same direction. Take each stitch so that a short, straight line is on the wrong side of the goods, not an extra long diagonal line. Watch the back of the work until the correct lines are as- sured there, as well as on the right side. Start the work in the lower left-hand corner. Bring the needle up through the lowest hole of the lowest stitch to be worked. Put it down in the hole above and next on the right. At the same time start the next stitch by simultaneously bringing the needle up through the hole just below the one through which the needle goes down. Each stitch is taken thus. Work in continuous rows as often as possible, turning the canvas at the ter- mination of a row so that the embroid- ery always progresses from left to right, yet in every alternate row it traverses in the opposite direction across the foun- dation textile. If this methd is follow- ed the tendency of the work to pull in either direction is constantly equalized. (Copyright, 1930.) of Washington the officer in charge of the pursuing ship do?

The Senate, which has hitherto sought to embarrass President Buchanan in carrying out his policy of preserv- ing intact, as far as possible, the Gov- ernment's necessary authority in the South, as well as its rights of property there, now has changed its position and is supporting the President. This al- tered attitude is evidenced by its con- firmation of the nomination of Hon. Joseph Holt of Kentucky to be Secre- tary of War by a vote of 38 to 13. The vote came after a fierce struggle. Those | Southern Senators who favor the se- cession of their States voted against confirmation. 1t was learned here today that the Vir- ginia House of Delegates has voted down a resolution proposed by Mr. Newton of Henrico declaring the destiny of Vir- %inu to be with the Gulf States. Word as also been received that, after an exciting debate, the Georgia conve) tion, by a _vote of 160 to 130, has or- dered a secession ordinance to be drafted and reported. Sixty-two United States soldiers from Fort Clinton, West Point, arrived here jearly this morning on an early train from Baltimore. They are part of Com- pany A, Engineer Corps, and are under the command of Lieut. James A. Du- ane and Lieut. Weitzel. On their ar- rival they marched to the Columbian Armory, where they are now quartered. A cookhouse has been erected outside the armory. Mess tables have been built in the artillery room, on the lower floor, and stoves put up on the third floor, which is the dormitory. In'a couple of hours after their ar- rival they were as much at home in the Columbian Armory as though they had always lived there. Their bunks were prepared, arms and accouterments stowed neatly away and the men, in fatigue dress, were lounging about, chat- ting, smoking their pipes and conversing with visitors. There are 1,200 stands of arms be- longing to the Government in this ar- mory, besides 4 pieces of field ord- nance and other military stores of value. The importance of having them duly guarded in these filibustering times is apparent. More Regular troops are on the way here, and it is understood that the Gov- ernment will concentrate in this city, before Mr. Lincoln's inauguration on March 4, three companies of Light Ar- tillery, two of Cavalry and five of foot, Inclfildlng the Marines at the local bar- racks.

WHAT do men really want of marriage? They want comfort. They want their wives to be good housekeepers, good managers, thrifty and efficient. More men than women marry to get homes. After a man has passed the adolescent stage. when he is in love with love and any woman can have him for the taking, the thing that oftenest lures him to the altar is not the yearning for romance, but a craving for home cooking. He is sick and tired of living in clubs and hotels and boarding houses and | foraging for his meals, He has got to the place where he can read a menu & yard long over from top to bottom without finding one single dish on it that appeals to his appetite, and he -doesn't want to bother having to order a meal, anyway. He wants a wife who will know all of his tastes and whims in food and set before him just the things he likes best, cooked in just the way he likes them. He is tired of coming home at night to a dark and gloomy room. He wants to come back to a place of light and warmth and cheer, with a smiling woman waiting to welcome him home. He is tired of finding holes in his stockings and buttons off his shirts, and that he has forgotten to send out the laundry, and that when he starts to dress in a hurry he hasn't a single clean handkerchief to his name. Then it is that his thoughts turn toward matrimony and he clutches at the nearest woman as a drowning man at a life preserver, and as long as his wife keeps angel food in her hand she can keep him eating out of it. MEN want peace in marriage. They get all the fighting they desire every day in the outside world, and” when they come home they don’t want to | take on another skirmish. They don't want to argue anything or to be told any bad news that will irritate them. That is why so many men suffer them- selves to be henpecked. It is easier to give in than to put up a scrap. A man will forgive his wife for many things if only she will refrain from nagging him and quarreling over trifles, and if she is easy to get along Wwith and makes his home a place of peace and rest and quiet in which his taut nerves can relax, and from which he can go back refreshed to do battle anew with his opponents, no siren can prevail against her. A man wants companionship in marriage. In time he gets weary of looking at even the most beautiful living picture if it is dumb. His soul must | be fed as well as his body, and he wants a wife who can put pep in a conver- sation as well as in her cooking. It is boredom that primarily sends men away from home in search of amusement and entertalnment and more agreeable companionship than they find in it. Every man'’s dream of marriage circles around having a wifc who will have the same tastes that he has; who will enjoy the things le enjoys; who will read the books he reads and laugh at the same' jokes, and with whom he can talk endlessly as one does with a pal. And he gets the disappointment of his life when he finds that he has married a lady who never wants to do anythflng that he wants to do; who hates all of his old friends sight unseen; who is dul and stupid and who never has an idea, or a thought or zn interest beyond the children and the kitchen. eé . . MAN wants an audience in marriage. Every man is bound to have some woman confidant. Some woman to whom he cau tell the things that he would be ashamed to tell any other man on carth. Some woman to whom he can boast vaingloriously about the things he is going to o and the triumphs he is | going to achieve. Some woman on whose breast he can weep when things go blovey and he stands disheartened and discouraged amidst the wreckage of his opes. Every man wants some woman who will listen to him, and nine times out of ten when he borrows the ears of some lady outside of the family circle it is be- cause his wife yawned in his face when he tried to tell her about his hopes and plans, and interrupted his best story to exclaim over how cute the cat was act- ing, and because when he told her of his misfortunes it only furnished her with a whip to scourge Mm for his bad judgment. A MAN wants a claque in marriage. He wants to feel that while an unap- appreciative world may pass him by and fail to realize what a wonder he is, there is one woman in the world who admires and looks up to him upon her. That is why men have the head-of-the-house complex so badly, and why they want to be consulted about every move their wives make, and why they want their wives to ask their permission to buy a new hat, or go to see with pointed treatment at front. ~Pin age to stop. this, but the boat continued merrily on its way. 2 The officer on the flagship immedi- ately radioed another Coast Guard ves- sel, farther south, to head off the sus- pect.

In reality they don't care a rap about what their wives do, but they just want this gesture of deference to an oracle made to them.

Because we have so long looked upon blackheads as indicative of dirt and an inadequate cleansing of the skin itseif, it is difficult to realize in most cas that blackheads on the faces of babi: and children are due to something in ternally awry, and that “something is very frequently an excess of fat in the diet. Now, nursing bables can get black- heads in only one way, which is from too rich a breast milk, so that the end of blackheads comes not by any change of soap or a different method of bath- ing, but by the mother's taking move exercise, eating less rich foods and | nursing baby at more infrequent in- tervals. Another method of dealing with the too rich breast milk problem—equaily as effective for the baby who is gaining too much weekly and has indigesticn or colic as for the baby who has bleack- heads—is to nurse only a short time on | each breast rather than a full nursing period on one. The last milk drawn from the breast is the richest. ‘The bottle baby whose skin is marred by blackheads may be taking a formuia that is far too rich. Some cows' milk is very rich in fats, and while the baby may gain very well, too rich a milk causes loss of appetite and other ind:- cations of too much fat. When the baby is receiving additional foods, the common fats appearing in { the diet_are cod liver oil, butter and bacon. Tt is all very well for baby to have cod liver oil daily, but he shouldn't have too much, nor should he have lib~ eral quantities of bacon, butter and cream or he is all too apt to have not only blackheads, but eczema as well. Mrs. G. L. has an unusual case in that her baby is so very, very young— only 7 weeks oldi—and has developed blackheads on_cheeks, chin and lobes of ears. She is using’ castile soap and is at a loss to understand the condition or how to alter it. Those mothers whose children have been troubled with this same condition have found that as soon as the excess of fat is removed from the diet the skin condition clears up immediately without external aids, or a different method in the care of the skin, just the elimination of the offending fat elemeut, and the blackheads disappear. I would suggest four-hour nursing periods, Mrs. G. L. A teaspoonful or more of water before each nursing and the other suggestions mentioned above should end this condition speedily. NANCY PAGE Mothers of G. T. Girls Study Clothes. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. To keep up with the styles, Nancy studied fashion magazines, window shopped, listened to style advisers and interpreters. She felt that she wanted to know as much as possible in order to lead the girls in her G. T. Club aright. These G. T. girls, the Good Taste Club, asked whether they might bring their mothers for a talk on clothes for the older women. Nancy was delighted with | the opportunity to spread the gospel of good taste. In talking with the group, Nancy made this poigt—since waists of older women have thickened it is never wise for them to wear dresses with an ob- vious belt line. ‘There may be a definite waist line, but it is broken by use of kindly bolero or drapery. One of Nancy's friends came in as a model to point Nancy's lecture. She wore no jewelry with the excep- tion of flat earrings. No flowers, arti- | ficial, faded or fresh from flourists, wi;}; fluttering bows and ends were to | found in her costume. ‘The dress was 14 inches from the floor. Later when she put on a velvet evening dress with becoming bolero Jacket effect her dress was ankle length. Her slippers with her evening dress were black velvet, since her dress was black velvet. With any other color of velvet she would have worn crepe de chine slippers. Since she was wearing bracelets, she omitted her wrist watch.

Sabine Baring-Gould, the well-known | English clergyman and writer, was ex-| tremely skeptical himself. But his ac- count of the strange happenings at his | home, “Lew Trenchard,” would make it appear that the place was haunted by | a ghost—or ghosts. “Lew Trenchard” was an inheritance. He had spent his boyhood and his young manhood there, and in _turn raised his own children there. There was a tradition that the ghost of an ancestor, familiarly known as “Old Madam,” sometimes walked the corri- dors of the manor house. Baring- Gould had no youthful experiences With | the apparition, but he relates that his ni'l‘other and sister claimed to have had them. He classified as “rats” and “creaking of timbers” the sounds which they at- tributed to supernatural causes. Nevertheless, while his own family was growing up, he came ia contact with circumstances which might, had he been a different person, shaken his skepticism. His daughter Barbara, later Mrs. L. F. Barnard, insisted that she frequently saw a lady in blue who would come into her nursery, stoop over to look at her, and sometimes sit beside her bed. * Diana, another daughter, who be- H. M. Baiten, was dan- gerously ill as a child. A trained nurse was hired to look after her. This| woman was supposed to remain awake. | But one night she dozed off. | After a time she was awakened by a | knock on the door. As she started up, | the voice of a woman said: “It is time| for her to have her medicin: It was the dead of night. The nurse | ran to the door to find out who had spoken. No one was there. In the morning she described the incident to Mrs. Baring-Gould. “It was not I” was her comment. Baring-Gould’s explanation of these incidents was that the spectral person | as probably one of his servants. But he does not offer such a solution in the case of his daughter Beatrice. ‘This child was ill from the combined effects of whooping cough and cutting teeth. The father, believing the nurse- girl was not capable of looking after her in the night, suggested to Mrs. Baring-Gould that she sleep with the alling infant. About the middle of the night, Mrs. | Baring-Gould went to her husband’s room. “I cannot sleep,” she said. “I hear irs, carry- | people tramping down the stal ing something.” Baring-Gould sat up in bed and argued with her. “The night is windy,” he said. “The Children will fret, often for ne apparent reason.
