WOMAN’S PAGE : Separate Skirts With Blouses BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘The separate skirt has returned with 11 its old advantages over the one-piece dress—and with at least one of its old disadvantages removed. The old-time separate skirt was mounted on a very tight waistband, ingeniously devised, it seems to us now, to prevent the Tate belt from remaining in place.

For sports wear, for the class room has much to be said in its favor from the point of view of economy. College girls are agreeing that the most eco- nomical sort of costume for class room and campus is that consisting of tweed skirt and separate sweater, either of the tuck-in or pull-on sort. There are thin jersey shirts that might be classed with the tuck-in sweaters that are inexpen- sive and smart for the younger woman, and the newest of these are made with the short polo sleeve. For more formal wear there are broad- cloth skirts which may be worn with good effect with satin or silk crepe blouses, and one such skirt with two or three different blouses provides & woman with a variety of costumes at small cost. This week’s circular shows how to make one of the new chiffon or tulle flowers that are mounted on fine wire and used as corsage decorations for evening or afternoon dresses.

Household Methods BY BETSY CALLISTER. Fruit is still considered a good table decoration, and it is always effective. | One idea is to use an antique fruit set, | consisting a a big fruit bowl for the center and four smaller dishes, com- potes by name, to stand at the four corners of the table grouped around the center bowl. The big bowl holds a pile of fruit, and the little dishes hold each a little fruit. For instance, the big bowl might hold tangarines, pears, black and red and green grapes, red bananas and red, green and yellow apples. One little dish then might hold @ perfect bunch of black grapes and a red apple; one might hold a red banana and & pear, and one might hold a n apple and a tangarine, and the fourth might hold red grapes and a yellow apple. ‘Then there are glass fruit dishes, modern productions, though they are reproductions of old Italian colored glass. They are altogether lovely, and they, too, are made in sets with a big dish for the center and smaller dishes to surround it, with either fruit or candies in them. Or there is a big center fruit dish and for informal daytime generally the separate skirt with blouse or sweater with candlesticks to match it in the same color and design. Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. Do you cry over spilt milk? ‘The old saying that doing a certain thing is as useless as crying over spilt milk has a lot of good homely advice in it, but, there is another side to the matter, too. Especially if you are the one who spilt the milk! A person who gets the habit of non- chalant disregard for the unfortunate things that have occurred to her, just because they are in the past, is very likely to become such an irresponsible person that she will have plenty of meed Tor her happy-go-lucky disposition. The one who treats her financial mis- ‘takes in this manner is particularly in danger of having to suffer worse con- sequences in the future. There are so many things that we have to learn in the school of experience about spend- ing, saving, earning and investing, that if one doesn't stop and reflect as to ‘what has been the cause of her little misfortunes in money matters, the chances are pretty large that she will suffer from lack of judgment when there are bigger problems to solve. Improvident is the word we use to these people who never seem to learn anything about the problems ©of personal finance. If they do any fryingu;ucve{gxrap‘gcn‘:nuk.)l&fifi ust a spasm of depression in w] they refuse to think at all about the cause of the trouble. Among all the failures in life, the ‘world seems to have less respect for the improvident than for almost any of the others. One may be ever so accom- Ellshed in his or her profession, but if e desn't develop ability to make ends meet in the financial side of life, people everywhere are bound to rate him as seriously incompetent. How often you have seen teachers who were very effec- tive in the class room, preachers whose sermons were the inspiration of the ‘week. doctors, lawyers and even trades- people, who were the finest characters and had all the other attributes of suc- AUNT HET * BY ROBERT QUILLEN. TR N “Pa ain’t snooped around the kitchen @0 see if T was wasteful since the first Rime he done it an’ I fed him on hash i mine days and runnin’.” (Copyright, 1930.) cess save one—the ability to manage their money matters—who, because of this one shortcoming, had very little influence in the community and were regarded by most people as failures. Of course, just sobbing over spilt milk won't bring it back, nor mend the broken pitcher. It is quite possible to be so very much concerned with past misfortunes that we fail to see through our tears the opportunities in the future. ‘The case of one despondent character T know is a good illustration. This man is always grieving over the loss of 5 cents here, or a quartey there. He is as crabbed as can be when his wife buys something which doesn't last as long as she expected, and he wastes lots of energy blaming everybody else but him. self for his own mistakes in trade or vestment. You have seen his like, per- haps. He seems to take sordid delight in counting up how many pennies would have been saved if it wasn't for this, that and the other thing. This young man was shortchanged one day about 27 cents just after he had learned to figure compound interest, and his first use of the principle was to compute how much of a loss that would figure up to be in 50 years! A rather good definition of an op- timist, I think, is one who uses com- pound interest to figure his savings, and of a pessimist, one who computes his losses that way. The pessimist al- boo hoo's over his spilt milk, while the optimist makes it an oppor- tunity to investigate the why's and wherefore's of it, and to take precau- ;Jon against such happenings in the uture. e s b e n ik Chocolate Muffins.

Are you one of those who have tried one “Vest pocket cure” after another and still have no sense of pevmanent relief? If so, this is big news to you! Kellogg’s ALL- BRAN is natural, effective relief for both temporary and recurring constipation. It is the original— and today is included in the diets of millions of people who formerly suffered from constipation. ‘When roughage is missing from food, constipation is the conse- quence. The soft foods we eat to- day seldom include enough rough- age. The simple necessity, then, is to see to it that sufficient roughage is included in our food. Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN is the bulk that your system requires. In addition, it is rich in iron. Bcientific research proves that nearly all this iron is absorbed by Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN is posi- tively guaranteed. Your money will be returned if you are not satisfied. Be sure to include it in reducing diets as a preventive for both con- stipation and anemia. ‘There are so many ways you can cat Kellogg’s ALL-BRAN and en- joy it. In any form, it is appetiz- ing. It is delicious with milk or cream. Sprinkle it over cereals and soups and notice the added flavor. -Many people soak it in fruit juices. Excellent in cooked foods.

It was a new dish for Lois to make. She hunted her cook- book directions and called Nancy. “There are two ways of making the hash. One calls for onion and one omits it. Both recipes were given to me by New Englanders, so I suppose it is not | s0 much the place you come from as the kind of hash you had at home. I like it best with onion, but Peter takes his without. You had better ask Roger which kind his wants. I don’t suppose he will know. Men are so dumb. They just eat and eat—that's all.” At any rate, Lois tried it both ways. Here are her recipes: Buy corned beef from the butcher. Choose that which is pinkish in color and which has a large proportion of ‘meat with little sinew or fat. Cook in CORNED- PEEF HAJL - a large amount of cold water. When it comes to boil, turn fire down and let it simmer an hour for each pound of corned beef. Take off the scum which rises to the top of the water. ‘Take from water, cook and chop meat. For each cupful of chopped corned beef add from one to two cupsful chopped boiled potato. Add a small amount of pepper, but no salt, since the meat is| still salt enough. Put one or two tablespoonfuls fat in frying pan. Add hash and cook slowly | for five minutes. Then turn the hash | and cook until nicely browned on the bottom. If onion is wanted, put one tablespoonful chopped onion in fat and let it cook soft and brown before the hash is put it. If the mixture seems dry, add cream to moisten. When mixture is well browned on bottom, fold one-half over on other like an omelet and garnish with parsley. A fresh salad is a good dish to serve with hash. Write to Nancy Page, care of this paper, inclosing a stamped.’ self-addressed envelope, asking for Saled Leafiet No. 2. (Copyright, 1930.)

BEAUTY CHATS tor about it, as this would be the quick- | ‘Way to Do Things. Obviously, there is a right and a wrong way to give yourself beauty treatments. More than that, there is a quick and efficient way, and a slow, haphazard way. Let us consider the | efficient way to do the various things that will keep you looking nice for many years to come, For instance, isn't it silly of you to let your hair become greasy and sticky looking, ‘an untidy, unbecoming mass, which, instead of adding to your at- tractiveness, takes away from it? Make a habit of shampooing your scalp regu- larly, frequently enough to keep the hair fluffy. And use an egg on the scalp first to make the shampoo easy and quick, and to make it positive that the washing will be a success. Or, if you have not time for this and the hair looks sticky, dust with powdered orris root and brush out well. This makes the hair fluffy and clean and shining in five minutes. Your other treatments should be equally efficient. At night cover face, neck and finger nails and elbows with cold cream, a light cleansing cream. While you brush your teeth or use a hair tonic let this soak in. Wipe off quickly with a tissue towel (to save the linen ones), and wash off what is left with your face cloth wrung from hot, soapy water. This whole affair takes less than two minutes. Then, the skin being clean, you can scrub your nails and use a stain remover, polish and rub them again with cream, so they are Teady for the next day. Or you can use ice on your face if you go in for that most exceilent treatment, or you can use massage cream for wrinkles, or an astringent, non-greasy cleanser, which- ever best suits your needs. Give your beauty treatments at night. In the morning you'll not have time. And you must cleanse the skin, any- way; the rest of the beauty treatment takes only a few extra minutes. Mary C.

Full lips are not unattractive, and may be just what the other features need to bring them out.

January 28, 1867.—As the continued suspension of navigation on the Poto- mac River is leading to a scarcity of fuel and other necessary articles in this city and a consequent rise in prices, it has been suggested that the Board of Trade wait upon the Secretary of the Navy to see whether some of the large and formidable iron-plate vessels at the Navy Yard here cannot be used to break up the ice and open the channel. There are na vessels at the yard now that could easily force a passage, it is believed, to Mathias Point, 60 miles below Washington, which is as far as the ice blockade extends. It is in the interest of the Federal Government, as well as the people of Washington, that navigation on the Potomac River should not be interrupted for any considerable lengih of time. ‘Twenty-five chiefs and warriors of the Wahpeton and Sissiton bands of the Sioux Indians have come to this city to make a treaty granting the right of way through their territory for a wagon road to Fort Benton and Mon- tana. They are stopping at the bar- racks at the corner of Nineteenth street and New York avenue. Maj. Joseph R. Browne is in charge of the party. All the Indians in the delegation are stalwart men. They declare their readi- ness to grant the right of way for the road to the Federal Government and to protect it against hostile Indians. The delegation includes Other Day and one of the Indians who assisted him in getting the whites from Yellow Medicine after the recent outbreak of hostile Indians in the West. The head chief is Gabril Renville. The other chiefs are Scarlet Plume, head chief of the Sissitons; Akipa, head chief of the Wahpetons:Oychduza, chief of the Light | Band on Big Stone Lake, and Washee- | cohah Maza, chief of one of the sub- | divisions of Standing Buffalo’s band. | The others in the party are head war- | riors representing several bands that oc- | cupled the country between Yellow Med- icine and the head of the Coteau des | Praires. Scarlet Plume was at Big Stone Lake at the time of the outbreak and when the hostile Indians reached there he was led captive to the Northwest | prairies. When the United States troops under Gen. Sibley encountered the hos- tile band at Buffalo Lake, Scarlet Plume came forward and warned the troops that if Gen. Sibley held a par- | ley with the hostile Indians an attempt would be made to kill him. Gen. Sibley | disregarded the warning and was | g{ngg:d away by a party of hostile | ioux. Boston Brown Bread.

Dissolve the baking soda in a little warm water and stir half of it into sour milk and the other half into the molasses. Stir until each foams, then combine and add the other ingre- dients.

(1) I have a lot of hair, but every end seem to be split and I wonder what to do about it. (2) I have had about six permanent waves. Dou you think that has caused my hair to split? (3) I am 5 feet tall and weigh 105 pounds. Am I under- weight? E. M. C. Answer—(1) Split and broken ends result from lack of sufficient oil in the hairs. The best remedy is to clip the ends, as the newly cut end will close, thus retaining the fluids necessary for health and growth. The hair should be devided into a number of small strands before the clipping. Part it first down the center. Divide the left side into small strands and twist each into a coll. Another person should help with this operation. Lay each coll as it is made toward the front. Proceed in this way until the entire left section of hair has Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND, ‘There is an increasing demand for children’s furniture which is designed along the lines of that for the “grown- ups” And why isn't this & good plan, after all? There is no better time to develop taste than at a very early age, and if the right furnishings and back- ground are created, this is a big step foward establishing the right founda- on. In the illustration is shown a combi- nation bookcase and cupboard which reminds us very much of some of the pleces of early American furniture— such as were used with the trestle tables, slat-back chairs, etc., the shelves exhibiting lovely old pewter and the c\lxcpboard hiding wooden trenchers, cups, ete.

Make colls of the top hair first, and as your hair is so heavy you will likely have to make several rows of coils. Now take & coil in your left hand, twist in firmly and hold it out straight from the head. The spit and broken ends will stand out straight from the head; clip these with sharp scissors. Cut off about an inch from the end of each coll. After clipping the left side, repeat the process on the right. (2) If your hair was inclined to be too dry after the permanent waves it may have caus:d the condition. Some hair is so dry that it should be given a hot oll treatment before the sham- poo. Daily scalp massage and hair brush- ing are also essential to hair health. (3) You did not state your age so 1 cannot say definitely what you ought to weigh. If you are between 20 and 30 years of age you should weigh from 112 to 120 pounds. LOIS LEEDS.
