‘WOMA N’S PAGE. Keeping White Gloves Clean | BY LYDIA LE B. Now that it has become the fashion to wear white kid gloves for semi- formal and formal occasions, the mat- ter of keeping them clean becomes one of moment. Unless the kids are im- maculate they do not lend distinction | | | | WIPE THE GLOVES OFF CARE- FULLY. | to the costume. To be sending them to | the cleaners frequently, although the cost per pair is inconsequential, does mount up as the weeks go by. So it is well for one to learn to taks care of them. If on returning home from sorae event where the white gloves have been worn the gloves are gently wiped off with some one of the many agents thal one has proved satisfactory as a cleanser, it will be found a great help. Sometimes it is possible to wipe them thus before taking off the gloves. The dirt is fresh and can be removed best then. Hard rubbing will not be re- quired. Too vigorous rubbing will re- move the fine finish. After this is gone the gloves will never look quite as well as before, even though they are white.

Or if one does | not feel that it is wise to have to' do this final rubbing down until nearly time to wear the gloves, they can be left in the chalk for a shorter period, then be wiped off thoroughly and laid in folds of white or blue tissue paper. Now they are ready to put on at a mo- | ment's notice. i (Copyright, 1930.) SUB ROSA BY MIML Romeo Returns. This does not mean that the young | Montague has again appeared under | Juliet’s window to hear that fair maiden pour forth her. soul of love into the| jght. No, it means only that a rflsh; Romeo named Ralph “has decided against life and love. This one took his oung life leaving behind a note which said, “Love is the humbug.” i But just how much of love and life | can these Romeos and Ralphs who have barely passed 20 know about the matter which they decide in such a violent way? At their age, love is but a tender butterfly which hovers close to earth in the bright sunshine. They have yet to learn of the love which mounts up with eagles’ wings and meets its mate under the stars. = “Love is as strong as death,”’as the Bible says, but it is of the essence of love to iive and make life deeper and richer. There is something deadly in a | cold heart, just as there is something horrid in the heart of hate. But where there is Jove there is life. The reason why peovle are disap- pointed in love is because some beloved object in particular has failed the heart. That other person may have made us believe that there could be no love with- out him or her, so that when he or she fails the light of love seems to go out like a candle in the flame. If our loves were not such poor moths which flutter around such poor flames, we should not have so many broken hearts. That which often passes as love is only a sort of infatuation which fol- lows love as a sort of will o’ the wisp. When love is a steady fire and not a mere flame, it will not go out in the wind. Our trouble may be that our love is a selfish experience. something to be ex- perienced more than to be expressed. Then when all our petty whims and fancies are not gratified, we feel dis- appointed. Such must have been the case with this Ralph who overlooked the grand passion of the human race and called love “the humbug.” ‘When love is wise, it brings us to the realization that the heart of love is more active than passive, more inclined to give than to receive. That's why the poet said, “If I love thee, what is that to thee?” What he meant was that in his poetic heart the experience of love was the active feeling which streamed forth from him without expecting the rays of love to return to their source. The way to get love is to give love. You invest your gold in a gold mine. It's only the thoughtless, selfish people ‘who can call love a humbug.

HOLLYWOOD, Calif, February 5 (N.AN.A).—Twenty-two years ago yes- terday the first motion picture in South- ern_California was_ started. | ‘The story was filmed in a building that was originally Sing Loo’s laundry. ‘The picture was named “Across the Divide,” and two men who have since faded from film activities, Thomas Per- sons and Francis Boggs, were the pro- ducers.

GLASS. “WHEN HIS SQUADRON WAS ORDERED BACK TO EUROPE HIS OFFICERS ACTUQALLY HAD TO TEAR HIM FROM HIS SWEEHEART.” In the Winter of 1792-93, when Nel- son led his fleet into the Bay of Naples the British Ambassador, Sir William Hamilton, greeted him with open arms. | He then sought Lady Hamilton, that | daughter of a blacksmith whose won- derful beauty and wit had enabled hex to overcome ‘a disreputable young wom- anhood and become the wife of a nobleman, “I am going to introduce to you,” he said, “an officer who has not much pretension to personal beauty, but who is one day destined to astonish_the world by his great achicvements. I am proud to open my doors to Nelson.” | In this way did Sir William pave the way for his own betrayal by his young | wife, whose greatest passion in life was to win the admiration of men. It is no surprise that she should be charmed by the hero of the English Navy. It| was inevitable that the soft-hearted | Nelson should succumb immediairly to | a beauty so ideal that painters and sculptors vied in rivalry to depict it. Back in England the wife of Nelson, little suspecting that fate was about to Nelson wrote to her about Lady Hamilton, but not in a way to alarm her. She was the second woman to figure in Nelson's love history. During the American Revolution, while his ship. the Albemarle, was at Quebec, he had fallen in love with a beautiful Cane- | dian girl inferior to himself in rank | When his squadron was ordered back | to Europe his officers actually had to tear him from his sweetheart and carry him aboard by force. Nelson met and married Mrs. Francis Nisbet at Nevis in the West Indies. His close friends did not fail to criticize his union to the youthful widow - with one son, Joshua. One of them wrote: “The marriage of such an officer as Nelson is a national calamity. Had he remained single he would have been the greatest naval commander this country ever has produced.” However, the bride was under no cloud. She was beautiful, virtuous and agreeable. Years later, when he publicly cast Lady Nelson off because of his infatua- tion for Lady Hamilton, now a widow, MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Orange Juice. Bran with Cream. Baked Eggs with Bacon.

In his will, made just before he was killed in the battle of Trafalgar, Octo- ber 21, 1805, Nelson attempted to turn to his mistress some of England’s grat- itude for the glory he had achieved. But after his death Lady Hamilton was coldly snubbed by her country. She died in obscurity years later in France. She had not really loved Nelson. She had paraded his love for her in order that her egotism might be.satisfied. (Copyright, 1930.)

We stopped in today at a brokerage office, and the manager lost no time in | telling us of a situation that is by no means unique. A woman had just been! in, and she had left a tale of woe in| her wake. She had been widowed a short time ago. Hitherto she had taken no in-| terest_in investments, because, she said, | “My husband always looks after those | things.” | It so happened at the time of her MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. One mother says: | ‘When Patsy was 2!, years old she decided that she would like to lace her own shoes, so daddy gave her a few lessons and she picked it up quite read- | ily. ‘That is about the first step in learning to dress, and to do it success- fully enccrrages the little one to fur- ‘hushflnd'u death that convertible privi- leges were expiring and one or two stocks required replacing. ‘The firm that handled the husband’s business could not induce the widow to come to any decision. g She knew nothing Herself, knew of none to trust, and was unwilling to place implicit faith in her brokers. The latter were torn between concern and indignation. ,That is why the manager pleaded with us to induce women to become better informed about their husband’s investments. The first thing to learn is the nature of your husband’s holdings. You will wish to know the issues he holds, con- vertible privileges and their expiration date and the maturities of bonds. A duplicate list of all his holdings |should be in your hands in the event of an emergency in which you would have to act for him. At any rate, hav- ing acquired the information set forth above, acquaint yourself with the issues and the companies putting them out. Follow their market prices from day to day and scan the news daily for in- formation about the condition and progress of both the companies and in- | dustries in which they are engaged. If | you entertain any doubts about them, ther efforts in dressing alone, But Patsy encountered one difficulty. One lace was nearly always longer than the other when she had finished her task. So I took a few stitches in the shoe- strings at the first place they cross and now we have no more trouble. (Copyright, 1930.) inquire for more detailed information. There is no reason why any woman reading this daiiy should not be able within a reasonable time to handle in- vestments intelligently an. capably. Whether or not your husband does the actual buying or selling, keep an eye on his transactions. Know what he is doing and why. A great deal depends upon the capable and understanding handling of the family's investments, More than one widow has learned that ignorance in this instance means any- thing but bliss. Learn in time. 8 o Steak and Onions. Slice scveral onions into a hot frying pan over a slow fire and let brown. Put in a round steak, pushing the on- ions to the side, but stir them occa- sionally to keep them from burning ana let the steak sear well on both sides and cook slowly until tender, or for about 20 minutes. Remove the steak and onions, add a little flour, let brown, and add enough cold water to make a thick gravy.
