THE Capital's most famous baby— Paulire Longworth-—missed her op- portunity to shake hands with the President of the United States at his reception New Year day. Paulina drove to the White House with her father and mother, but she got no farther than the door. After Speaker Nick and Princess Alice had stepped from the car, the chauffeur whisked little Paul- ina back home. Later Paulina’s mother explained to some of her friends why the lit- tle girl was not permitted to re- main. “She was chew- ing gum.” sald Princess Alice, “And, anyhow, she's too young.” But if Paulina’s fondness for gum caused her to miss the President’s re-) cep! there was another little girl high in Washington’s official family who got the biggest thrill of her life at the ‘White House during the holiday season. She 18 the 3-year-old daughter of the Secretary of Labor—little Jewell Davis. Jewell was one of the children who were entertained at the White House at & Christmas tree party with their parents. It was a dinner party, with the children seated at a small table in- side the big horseshoe-shaped one in the state dining room. President Hoover walked into the din- room with Jewell. At 9 o'clock, when she returned home with her brother and sisters, the Pres- ident’s dinner partner addressed her | nurse triumphantly: “Who do you think I took into din- ner?” The nurse couldn’t fairly radiant, announ: “The big President Bits of gossip picked up from the Capitol to the White House: Walter H.

There are some women—some young women, in_fact—who have worn the bare-brow hats with such unbecoming results that you wonder when you sce them whether they never look in a mirror or whether they really don't care to look their best. And because women wear these hats who ought never to have considered them, the fashion has been somewhat discredited. On the other hand, there are some Women whose beaufy is so enhanced by them that we are loath to see them pass fromn the field of fashion. This season the milliners have been generous in their offerings. They have retained the high-brow 'hats for those who can wear them or who insist on wearing them, and they have made other hats wtih a crown just deep enough at the front to give the more generally becoming line, This week’s diagram_pattern shows how to make a simple little cape, that may be made of chiffon or georgette to add to an evening dress, or of silk or cloth to match a separate skirt and worn over a separate blouse for Spring If you would like a copy, please send your stamped, self-addressed envelopc to Mary Marshall, care of this paper, | sed. and it will be forwarded to you.

Try Again. “And they entered into the city, and took it.”—Judges viil.19. And this was victory after defeat. Just previously Joshua had been beaten by the men of Al. But a second assault upon the city resulted in a great tri- umph. Never mind the details, The lesson for us is that we should never regard any defeat as final. As we often say to little children, f at first you don't succeed, try, try, in.” It is remarkable how many men have succeeded by trying again, after suffering some crushing defeat. In- deed, many of the great successes won by men have come after experiencing many failures. Barnum, the great showman, failed 14 times before he achieved success. ‘The early career of Gen. Grant was marked by repeated failures. But he kept trying again, and finally became a great soldier and President of the United States. Phillips Brooks was humillated by failures experienced in his early life. But who now thinks of him as a fail- ure? Through perseverance he be- came one of the leading lights in the American_pulpit. Goldsmith was once regarded a fail- ure. But who today is not familiar with his contribution to English litera- ture? It was by the never-give-up spirit that he finally achieved his pin- nacle of fame. Learn & lesson from Longfellow’s story of the little birds whose nest he found one morning lying on the ground, torn into fragments after a heavy snowstorm. The great poet’s heart was moved with pity at this sight of their misfortune. But while he gazed upon the sad sight, he heard a chat- tering overhead, and, looking up, saw the little birds busy building a new nest for themselves. Have you failed? Have you suffered disaster? - Try again. and Duelists Jackson Said He Would Have Killed Dickinson if Opponent “Had Shot Me Through the Heart.” ' GLASS, THIS ROAD,” HE JOVIALLY TOLD THAT.” Jackson's coat.

Helen Wills, who has scored “fifteen love,” “thirty love,” .and “forty love” at tennis, is now going to play a love set. Helen Is now married. She is now a partner in a game of mixed doubles. We hope she will continue to swing her racquet the way Mrs. Bundy is doing. Helen and her marital partner were married according to the new rules of the marriage game. She dropped the word “obey” from her side of the ret. Her husband returned the compliment by dropping “endow” from his. The bride promised to love and honor but said nothing about taking orders from the groom. The bride- groom replied in a similar vein, only he didn't add “with all my worldly goods I thee endow.” However, this is a genuine marriage without any companionate nonsense about it. If the bride ducks the word obey, it is because the modern woman is now free and wears no shackles save a light wedding ring. When the husband omits to promise that he'll endow his wife with all his | worldly goods, he recognizes the fact that she can support herself, if neces- | sary. Anyhow his “endowment” might | consist in nothing more than a set of neckties, a pair of spats, and a thin pay envelope. The man who marries the modern Helen of Troy is to be congratulated, for he has picked the winner in the “love match.” We should rejoice that the marriage ceremony has been changed to fit the conditions of modern life and the younger generation. We should realize that the oldest institution in the world is capable of modern improvements. Love does not change the way life does. It is the same now as when Abraham and Sarah made the wed- ding journey on camels, or when ma and pa drove away in a bugey. The letter changes but the spirit remains the same. We ought to be glad that Helen has chosen a matrimonial career. She might have thought that she was too smart to marry or that there was nobody but the Prince of Wales worthy of her hand. But _there she is in the orange blos- som line along with the rest of the girls who think that marriage is the finest career in the world. We hope that the Queen of the Courts will still swing her magic racquet, but we'll think just as much of her if she swings a carpet beater now and then. (Copyright. 1930.) | circulation. FEATURES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL.. - BY LOIS LEEDS. Keeping Neck White. Keeping the neck as white and smooth as the face is a problem which perplexes many beauty seekers. A neck which is dark and sallow is espe- clally annoying at this season, when formal parties demand formal gowns and the neck is much in evidence. While in some cases it is quite natural for the neck to be & bit darker than the face, if the difference is too de- cided it Is often the result of neglect. Some may not realize that the neck needs regular bleaching treatments in order to keep it as white and smooth es the face. ‘The first step in keeping it so Is to scrub the meck thoroughly every night with pure soap and wesm water. It is advisable to use a culise washcloth or a fairly stiff bath brush for this scrubbing; this method of cleansing has the double advantage of removing every bit of grime and dead cuticle_and also of stimulating Very often a flabby, sal- low, old-appearing neck is caused by the very fact that the circulation has been allowed to become sluggish through lack of stimulation. After the soap-and-water scrub the neck should be thoroughly rinsed in clear, warm water to remove every particle of soap and finally rinsed in cold water, or, better still, rubbed with a plece of ice. Pat dry carefully, being sure not to pull or stretch the skin. If one will occasionally alternate the cold-water rinse with a buttermilk rinse, this will help to bleach the skin. Pat the buttermilk on generously and leave it on for about a half hour. If it is not convenient to use the butter- milk, the following bleaching pack is very efficlent: Mix together two table- spoonfuls of carbonate of magnesia, two tablespoonfuls of fullers’ earth, one tablespoonful of peroxide. Thin with witch-hazel or rosewater and mix to a smooth paste. After cleansing the neck apply this bleaching clay evenly and let it remain on for about 20 min- utes, or until thoroughly dried. Then rinse off with absorbent cotton or a piece of cloth wrung out in tepid water. In applying the pack remember that | it should be smeared on gently and not | rubbed into the skin. The same pack imay be applied to the face, and it is a good plan to give the face this treat- ment at the same time the neck is being cared for. Besides these special treatments to | lighten the skin of the neck, milady | must not forget that massage and regu | lar exercise are necessary to stimula | the circulation and keep the lines of |the neck smooth and graceful. A | gentle, pinching, slapping massage will | prevent the skin from becoming sallow |and flabby, while neck-bending and | head-turning exercises will tone up the o | muscles, (Copyright, 1930.)
