WOMAN’S PAGE. Initials for Trousseau Linens BY LYDIA LE B, Knowledge of the correct initials for an engaged girl to use in marking her household linens is of importance. It is a matter which good form dictates with definiteness. The custom is arbitrary, but is found- ed on good common sense, and there- fore is established with reason. The initials of her maiden name should invariably be used. I have heard girls say they thought it was absurd not to use th- initials to be acquired, and JARON WALKER. the marriage or the engagement may be broken. Such severances prevent the girl from ever acquiring the initial, and articles marked with it would have to be discarded, unless the girl happened to know some one else who had the identical initials to whom she could give the things. On' the other hand, if she used the only initials that she has the right to, when she is embroidering the articles for the home-to-be, the things do not come under such a ban. In fact, I have known instances where a girl laid the embroidered initialed articles away with a sad heart, but took them out again | many months later and rejoiced that she had so many pieces all done, for she was to be married soon—but to another person. It is, therefore, on a foundation of reason and good judgment that the rule dictating the use of a maiden's own initials is established. It will be found | that other customs governing society are built on sound judgments. One has but | | THE INITIALS OF THE NAME ARE CORRECT. declare they should use that of their flances, for after marriage their maiden initials would be futile. But this is the chatter of the uninformed. Although it is expected that the gin marking her wedding linens will be married, many times she does not mas the man to whom she is then e e Death sometimes takes it toll prior to to study them to appreciate the truth of this. l HARD ON CRIME ‘The scientists devote much time to studying the curves of crime. In sun- dry colleges of fame they analyze the sinner’s game. The day is coming when {| the skate who fails to walk the path- way straight will have no chance of dodging jail with scientists upon his trail. At present rude, uncultured cops pursue the man whose virtue flops. If it's & test of wind and limb, the cops will doubtless capture him, but if the criminal has brains, he does not fear the brass-bound swains. But it will be another tale when scientists are on his trail. He robs the widow of her hens, a crime denounced by poets’ pens. The village cops arrive and say: “We can't identify the jay. He's left no finger- rints behind, no other clues; the case blind. 'Tis true, the rascal lost his hat, and here it is, but what of that? It's like a million other tiles; it has no rating in our files.” The scientists come up thereat and say, “Just let us have that hat. We'll view it through a mic- roscope and soon will hand you all the dope concerning that immoral chump who robbed the widow's poultry dump.” They view that kelly up and down; they brush its brim and scrape its crown and study all the dandruff there, and then they rise up and declare: “The man who stole the widow’s hens is suf- fering from seven wens. A yellow beard his face adorns; he's limping much be- cause of corns; he has a small, receding chin; his nose is red because of gin; he has a boil upon his back; his teeth are false and do not track.” And then the cops go out forthwith and pinch & sinful man namec_ Smith.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. ‘When our living rooms are just large enough to permit the use of one table we must be very careful in our choice of it. If it is too small it is not prac- tical and if it is too large it seems to overpower all the rest of the furnish- ings. In the illustration is a table which would be ideal for a small living room. Being sufficiently large across the top | to allow for the placing of a good-sized | table lamp (one that will shed reading lieht for two chairs near the table), | books, magazines and smoking acces- sories, it is found to be a very prac- tical plece. The grace of the design is also an- other feature, for a table of this type would stamp -the furnisher as having the best of taste, and the fact that there are both shelves and drawers be- neath the top does away with the ne- cessity of having another roomy piece in the room.

Formerly women were barred from the Yoard rooms, because brokers were afraid of “secnes.” But today it ‘|is admitted that women take their profits and losses more colly than men.

Investors are not greatly con- cerned over slight fluctuations in price. A day at market will give the woman investor & chance to see the stock market at close quarters and make her more familiar with its customs and methods. - Pickled Carrots. ‘Wash some carrots and boil them in salted water until tender.

NANCY PAGE Surplice, Floating Sashes, Fluttering Ruffles BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Lois was finding the new line and silhouette exceedingly trying. It was bed enough for a person who was slim, but when one was visiting the doctor every month and making arrangements to stay for at least two weeks in a hos- E:tal in the near future, the problem of ing suitably dressed was acute. is found out that small prints were helpful. They gave a broken and ir- e regular line to her figure which was flattering and kind. If those print dresses had ruffles or pleated fichus the effect was even bet- ter. Fluttering lines made her less con- sclous of her size. Another type of dress which was quite easy for her to wear had a sur- plice closing. The waist line was ca- pable of expansion and was fastened with sash ends which could be madg into large or small bows. For a coat Lols chose one with a cape. She might have selected a cape itself, but she felt that she would have less use for that later on. Then, too, she felt that the cape was less suitable for wear on her dally outing. 8he chose sensible shoes, easy fitting and not too high heeled. Her hat was brimmed and fairly loose on the head. Her gloves were warm and her stockings were of a silk and wool. All told, she was comfortable in her out-of-door jaunts and felt well dressed in the house when she wore her print frocks.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRICK. Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD, Calif., February 12— Now that Jack Gilbert and Jim Tully have met at last via fisticuffs, Holly- wood's most cital feud should of & necessity fade out. Honor is avenged. For two years the word “Tully” has been enough to send Jack Gilbert into & froth. Tully, it seems, wrote an article on the cinema star which was the adverse of complimentary. After the article had been sent to the editor of a widely known magazine, Tully met Jack Gilbert. Followed a brief speech of enthusiasm, in which Tully is said to have remarked: “Why, I didn’t dream you were such a decent fellow! I've written an article about you which is quite the from what you really are. met you first.” Or words to that effect. When the article came out Jack Gil- bert felt the little apologia certainly made a molehill out of a mountain. He set forth to meet his traducer. But Tully was busy with the details of & divorce suit, the contemplation of a European trip and divers other affairs. When they met a few nights ago in a restaurant, even the presence of the lovely Ina Claire was not enough to calm Jack Gilbert's fighting spirit. He barged over to the rubaceous Tully and volced a few sentiments as flery as the head of his arch enemy. Chairs were overturned, Jack Gilbert slipped on a rug, and somehow landed for a second among the chairs. Tully- ites claim it a victory for their pugna- clous idol. Gilbertians say the actor is the victor, in that he opened the fist fight of his own volition. Entre-nous, Jack Gilbert's studio is through with the frafl and semi-sexy comedies which ushered him into a new medium. They are going to star him in he-man stuff. Perhaps, like Emil Jannings, he has already begun living 't:h‘e screen character he will next por- y.

That's why it's so important nowadays to keep your hair soft, lustrous, abundant. The easiest and quickest way to give new lustre and color to hair, which has begun to look dull and lifeless, is with Danderine. And it makes the hair softer, easier to_arrange; holds it in place. Here’s all you do. ach time you use your brush just put a little Danderine on it. It removes the olly film from your hair; brings out its natural color; gives it more gloss than brilliantine.

However unappealing such similies may be, we do expect that the breath should at’ least be odorless, Children who have sound teeth, iron digestions and simplicity of diet should have odorless ebreaths. Seemingly all of them do not. Mothers have noticed that even small children have un- leasant breaths after an nap and feel at there should be some way of overcoming this condition. Pirst of all, a musty odor might be due to carelessness in scrubbing the teeth at night. Teeth should be washed after every meal and especially well washed at bedtime, for particles of food, lodged between the teeth and subject to col uent decomposition, would leave the h with a stale and fetid . Crypts in tonsils, filled with food deposits which have to be pressed out mechani- cally, would be certain to give the breath a foul odor. Infected sinuses give rise to a most unpleasant odor which is not apparent to the sufferer but most unpleasantly 80 to those who come in contact with him. Decayed teeth offer nice resting places for food which would taint the breath. Indigestion and constipation are always mentioned as reasons for a “bad” breath but we are iconoclastic about some things. Constipation snd “auto intoxication” "are conditions which we consider have bad reputa- tions for no very good reason. A con- stipation complex seems to be one of our present day undesirable states of We are inclined to believe that in almost every case the source of an un- pleasant breath will be found rght in the mouth or riose, either of deep-seated infections in the sinuses, infected tonsils, enlarged adenolds which obstruct free breathing through the nose, decayed teeth, or unclean ibly ear infections which & secretion of pus. mother has given careful consideration to the diet, and to the child’s mouth cleanliness, then she will have to turn the child over to a doctor who can trace the more remote source of the unpleasant breath if these simple measures haven't ended it.

ABovT all both drys and wets in the House can do when Dr. Willlam Irving Sirovich starts discoursing on alcohol is to sit and listen. For the tall and well groomed New Yorker is a bit too technical for his colleagues to risk the chance of dis- puting his many statements. He talks to them much in the same manner he lectured medi- cal students before he became inter- ested in politics. === He_ has lectured the House twice on the subject of al- cohol—the practice of the Government in treating alcohol for industrial con- ‘sumption, lw gel ore precise. P & tance his most _part, ve been far over his colleagues’ heads. ‘When he charged that certain formulas used by the Gov- ernment in denaturing alcohol contain “prucine sulphate,” “isopropyl,” “beta- oxybutyric acid”—all poisons—they had to take his word for it. N But the members were obviously im- pressed by this technical discussion. Dr. Birovich was allotted 20 minutes for his second discourse, but when his time expired so interested had his audience become that they granted him an addi- tional 10 minutes—then 10 minutes more—and some were for giving even more time. ‘This is typical of the way the doctor is subject: handled hi He would call attention to preliminary remar) he would ask such quullul.' t,hn::um o v not acetone one o e of acidosis? “Is not the presence of acetone in the blood a sure sign of serious organic trouble? “Is not tha presence of acetone bodies in the system apparently responsible for diabetic coma?” Then having propounded these ques- tions and getting no answer, he would hy force the good people of the United States to rub their bodies with that stuff?” His whole speech was handlsd much in this manner. Dr. Sirovich has contended that the Government stop its practice of alcohol for industrial consumption. He has a bill in Congress to these so-called poisons with certain ofl com- pounds which he argues are more ef- fective as denaturants and less easy for bomlexgrs vg "t;ook out.” S ‘The New York Represent lve’s repu- tation as a doctor and scientist is well known by his colleagues.
