WOMAN'’S PAGE, Interest in Simple Flower Forms BY MARY A year or more ago there was a sig- nificant revival of flower perfumes Which, to some extent, took the place of the complicated, seemingly more s ticated scents that had monopolized vor for several years. The faint per- fume of jasmine, gardenia, lily of the LILY OF THE VALLEY FIGURES ON A BLACK BACKGROUND ARE DECIDEDLY SMART FOR ‘THE LATE WINTER AFTERNOON GOWN. valley, violet and other old-time fa- vorites are now chosen by many women for the scent of various cosmetics, as well as actual perfume. Doubtless there is some connection between this revived interest in simple flower scents and the present revival of interest in simple flower designs which MARSHALL, is one of the notable features of the printed silks for Spring. Daisies, vi lets, forget-me-nots, biuebells, sno drops and a score of other small blos- soms have been taken as inspiration for the designs of many of the silks for dresses for resort wear at the present time. Small sprays of lily of the valley in natural colors on a dark background are decidedly smart. They are modern in the sense that they are up-to-date, but not because of any suggestion of sharp, geometrical design. The word “n is one that might be appropriately applied to most of the new prints, for even where some geometrical design is taken as the motif for the “rint it is arranged in an or- derly manner.

February 14, 1867.—A new afternoon newspaper, bearing the name of the Evening Leader, had its first appear- ance in Washington today. “It is a handsome, well filled sheet, is of the radical Republican persuasion of politics and promises to be a spirited accession to the city's newspaporial ranks,” the editor of The Evening Star will comment tomorrow. ‘The proprietors of the new paper, Messrs, %J J.

Tfl last of those gray-clad warriors | of Lee who stacked their arms and came to Congress to serve the Nation from which they had fought to secede is to retire at the end of this session. Maj. Charles Stanley Stedman, 89 years old and known in the Capital as the “last hero statesman,” is to spend the remain- ing years of his life, free from the responsibilities of | public life, among his North Carolina friends. Elected to the | House when almost | 70 years of age, the | stately, white-| haired, always courteous Maj. Stedman has been returned in every election since. They say down in North Carolina " that it would be| regarded as almost criminal for any one | to run against him. So insistent and de- | MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

And it was not until the third that his decision was accepted as final and |a candidate entered the field. Retirement of Maj. Stedman and the |recent death of Senator Warren of Wyoming remove from Congress the last of the Civil War veterans. In the House of Representatives Maj. | Stedman remained long after the last |of his one-time comrades and foes in arms had passed from the roll calls of the House and Senate. Representative Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio, last of the Army in Blue to hold a seat in the House, died several years ago. Stedman and Sherwood, both Demo- crats, became warm personal friends during their service. Many still re- | member, while both were on Capitol Hill, how they would get together and joke and swap stories of the days when they were on opposite sides of the firing line, one a major in the Confederate army, the other a brigadier general under Grant. These past few years have seen col- leagues bestow many honors upon the picturesque Southern statesman. Four years ago, on his eighty-fifth birthday anniversary, the House ac- corded the unusual honor of suspending proceedings to pay him tribute. He was asked to come to the well in front of the Speaker's chair while each member on the floor formed in line to file past and clasp his hand. On_that occasion both Republicans and Democrats, representing every sec- tion of the Nation, spoke in high praise of the veteran Confederate. On his each birthday anniversary since then one or more of his colleagues have called attention to the fact on the floor of the House. ‘When “Uncle Joe” Cannon died in 1924 Maj. Stedman became the oldest member of the House. His re-election to the Seventy-first Congress placed him as one of the oldest in point of service as well. ‘To remove finger polished furniture use a plece of chamois wrung out of cold water and polish with dry chamols.

' ALL-BRAN Unhappy Wives Wesley's Wife in Mad Jealousy Tore His Hair. BY J. P. GLASS. | N f “SOMETIMES SHE ACTUALLY ATTACKED HIM AND TORE HIS HAIR.” | She was experienced enough to be dis- In one of his letters to his wife John Wesley reminds her that she has laid false charges against him, robbed him, and betrayed his confidence under the pretense of vindicating her own char- acter. He adds: “Of what importance is your character to mankind? If you were burled just now. or if you had never lived, what loss would it be to the cause of God?” The great preacher belonged to an- other day than ours. It was the period of unquestioned male superiority. Rob- ert Southey, Wesley's biographer, could write of him—with sincerity, too: “He knew that he was by nature the stronger vessel, of the more worthy gen- der and lord and master by law, and that the words ‘honor’ and ‘obey’ were in _the marriage bond.” No wonder that Wesley, with no doubt of justification, wrote to Mistress Molly, “Be content to be a private, in- significant person, known and loved by God and me.” Molly Wesley's unhappiness seems to have grown out of a hunger for John's constant company. She was jealous of the cause to which he devoted *is life. She was jealous of his ambitions, which were great. She wanted him to give up everything for love. This he would not do. Jealousy begets all sorts of actfons. Molly Vizelle was a widow with four children when she married Wesley. BEAUTY CHATS Self-Analysis. 'The most difficult thing in the world is to analyze yourself intelligently. I'm not speaking of mental or spiritual analysis, or of being “psyched.” 1 merely mean analyzing yourself ph sically, which you can do with the aid of one full length mirror, a hand mir- ror and a devastatingly bright light. First, about your hair? If the scal is in bad condition use a tonic on and in any case keep your hair care- fully shampooed and carefully brushe have it permanently waved if thai proves it; water wave it yourself when you wash it if you can’t afford a perma- nent wave. If your hair is a bad color give a henna shampoo. What about your complexion? This is too large a subject to go into here. I can only say, if your skin is not nat- urally perfect, go to a doctor and find out what to do about it. Use a mini- mum of cosmetics, but let what you use be of best quality. Fingernails are of next importance. Your hands must al- ways be well groomed. This means a thorough weekly manicure and five minutes’ daily care. Hair, face and hands must always look beautifully tended. Any faults in these places will come out if you look at yourself candidly and impersonally in a looking-glass. But there is always one very difficult int to decide—what is your type and ow should you dress to emphasize it? You can't depend on the girls in the shops, for even if their judgment is better than yours, their job is to sell the articles. You can't depend on any of your friends, for most will have no lent for clothes, and many will have & quite wrong point of view on yau.

C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1 of Famous Men trustful of men and doubtful of women, and among the latter there were hordes who flocked t7 pay homage to Wesley. the preacher. 1t she could have understood her hus- | band's character, all might have been| different. As it was, she did the most unwarranted things. She frequently | traveled a hundred miles so that she might see from some window who was with him when his carriage entered a town, She searched his pockets, opened his| letters and gave his secret papers to his enemies.

Some folks may suspect that Southey's verdict upon his troublescme wife was a bit too strong.

Next to feeding, no other situation so puz- | zles the mother as teaching the child to live in the house witheit being a constant menace to its treasures, To slap a child’s hands has never been more than temporarily effective. | The child constantly thwarted and re- fused {)erml.mon to touch the bright | and alluring objects with which he is surrounded, and slapepd when he does, is the child who must be watched con- stantly. The moment the mother's eyes stray, he runs pell-mell for the forbidden treasure, and in a moment | it is apt to be on the floor. If the mother is successful in keeping the child from touching everything and anything, through fear or lack of op- portunity, she has on her hands a whining, crying baby. Unable to act, to look or touch or examine, he cries. No one can prevent his doing that. . C. M.

In the case of the underweight person, the best results can be obtained simply by nourishing the starved underlying tissues through an adequate amount of food of the right kind. ‘The nervous individual should study to avoid all the negative facial expressions, such as frowning, worry- ing and tenseness by learning to relax regularly.
