WOMAN'’S PAGE, Wardrobes and Stormy Days BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Going out on & stormy day may not sacrifice of a smart appearance. the outer accessories as to them in no wise suffer from the elements and well I.Idone item in gloves, the cholce STORMY DAY CALLS NOT SO MUCH FOR WEARING ONE'S WORST CLOTHES, AS SELECTING THOSE | NOT HARMED BY DAMPNESS. between the very finest fabric ones and the shabbiest pair of kid in the glove | especially mental to both the finish and durability of any leather glove not of the washable sort. The reverse is true of cloth ones, A pair of fabric gloves of pristine freshness can be donned with the knowl- edge that, however soiled they become, the dirt can be easlly removed. And more than that, no amount of moisture will harm them. This is good to remem- ber, since there is a tendency to wear dingy apparel on days that do not prom- ise fair weather. In some cases this is essential, but in the case of gloves it is not. Bad weather is apt to put one at less than one's best, and for this reason an effort should be made to overcome this tendency by wearing not one’s “poor clothes” as much as those which will not be injured by dampness. Parading one's worst _clothes as a means to sparin one’s best is to strike a low average of g00d appearance. Without going to the extreme of plan- ning actual rainy day wardrobes with special cost, hat, footwear, etc., all matching, one can do somethng better than just “get by” by realizing that there ‘are some articles of the fair weather wardrobe that suffer not at all from contact with the elements. (Copyright, 1930.) FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. Sweets. Usually we close our dinners with | something swcet—a sweet pudding, a ple, ice cream and cake—then take a small cup of coffee and call it a meal. Sometimes there are nuts and raisins— around Thanksgiving and Christmas—and sometimes cheese, but not often. The English have an amusing trick of taking some sort of savory dish after | the pudding—the trifle, the charlotte or other sweet concoction. After this B there is cheese and then “des- sert”—which invariably in England sig- nifies nuts and raisins, ese savories that follow the sweet course are the sort of thing that we might serve for & luncheon dish, an ap- petizer or possibly a little entree. A cheese souffle, anchovy rolls, cheese fritters, eggs (Swedish style), cheese straws, cheese toast, sardines on toast, anchovy toast, mushrooms on toast, deviled sardines, baked spaghetti, stuf- fed mushrooms, caviar on toast, herring roes on toast, smoked haddock souffle— these are a few of the dishes that the Englishman likes to eat after his sweet course at dinner. Perhaps it is a rea- sonable preference. Sweets are likely to leave an unpleasant flavor in the mouth, or if one has dined lightly to leave one with an unsatisfied feeling. At least, that is the argument of the Englishman who likes his savory. There seems to be an increasing dis- position on the part of Americans to lessen the role of sweets in the dinner menu. When we add salads and savories and other appetizing dishes we seem to demand less of the sweet dishes; and box should be quickly made. Contact ‘with moisture, however slight, is detri- undoubtedly we are better off physically for this change. { Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Who's Responsible. you leave your gloves with | the cleaner and they are lost, who's| Tesponsible?

Chicken Livers With Bacon. ‘The livers of chickens are delicious when served with bacon. They may be strung with alternate pieces of bacon, cut about half an inch thick and one and one-half inches square, on a metal skewer and the whole brotled until done. They may then be served on the skewer or removed from the skewer and served with small pleces of toast. Another method of preparation with bacon is as follows: Wrap each liver In a thin strip of bacon and fasten with a toothpick. Bake in the oven, turning !{vqurn!]y, until both are cooked.

Famous Cinderellas—Good and Bad Actress Made One-Time Heir to British Throne Happy for Fifty Years, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 20, 1857.—Several Virginia gentlemen who came to Washington to- day told of two very large bears that were killed a few days ago about 2! miles from Marion, Smythe County. One of the bears weighed nearly 400 pounds. The meat and skin of this great beast yielded the handsome sum of $50. The bears, while large, were not 80 great in size, however, as those lately seen by residents of Montgomery Coun- ty, Md., near Colesville. “That mudhole at the corner of Fifth and G streets north,” says The Evening Star today, “is a disgrace to the corporation. It is occasioned by the sinking of soft earth with which a sewer | excavation was inadequately filled. It is of sufficient depth nearly to bury any horse unlucky enough to set foot in the treacherous pit. ““We hear of numerous accidents hav- ing occurred at this point and Wed- nesday night (night before last) two vehicles at least were ruined by being caught in this trap. The least the | roper authorities can do is to place | anterns, barricades or some surround ings to warn passengers of the danger. Dan Rice, who appeared tonight at | the Washington Circus and Amphi- theater, at the corner of Pennsylvania | avenue and Seventh street, has taken | the city by storm. He has reduced the | “humors of the ring” to a science, | catering to each taste, while he care- fully rla\'olds any allusion at all excep- nable. “Mr. Rice is not a clown, he is & wit— an original philosopher, a man of genius,” says The Star today, “who glves us common sense and fun most admirably interwoven, and at all times acceptable. We like to hear him, and those who would spend a pleasant eve- ning should go to the Amphitheater to see Dan Rice.” Home in Good Taste | | BY SARA HILAND. You never hear any one complaining about modern furniture being hard to dust like that of the Victorian period, which had one’s index finger in con- dition for splints and a sling after an intensive rusting spell on any Saturday morning. Getting into all of those lit- tle curlicues of the fruits, flowers and spirals and digging out all the dirt was not looked forward to by even the most conscientious housewife. There is, therefore, much to be said in favor of modern furniture from the standpoint of lightening labor. For ex- ample, look at the chair in the illus- tration—nothing to dust but the arms, and the vacuum sweeper takes care of the rest. As to the table, just a good swish or two will take care of eacl. shelf, and there you are, all finished in a tenth of the time it would have taken to do even one shelf of the good old what-not and its curios. g The chair is very luxurious, being | softly upholstered in seat and back, and it is low enough to make complete re- laxation possible in a short time.. There i$ no wood in the table, the shelves being of glass and the supports of metal. (Copyright, 1930.) Steamed Ginger Pudding.

GLASS. | I'M AFRAID MY WIFE WILL NOT RECEIVE YOU, WILLXE:: HE REPLIED. “SHE SEES ONLY HER INTIMATE FRIENDS.' One of the most noted of British Cinderellas' was Louisa Fairbrother, the stage beauty who. captured the heart of | | his royal highness, the Duke of Cam- bridge, then heir apparent to the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. This romance took place -in early Victordan days. The duke married Miss Fairbrother in 1840. They had a mar- ried 1'% that continued happily for a half a century. Queen Victoria had been on the throne two years when the duke's love affair developed. She was anxious for him to make a political marriage with some German. princess, but after the young man had met all of them he ruled them out. He had made up his mind he would remain single when he met the beautiful Louisa, a very humble ornament of the London stage. Traveling down to Windsor to tell Queen Victoria of his intention to wed | Miss Fairbrother, the duke ran into a storm of protest. “But give the girl an audience,” he pleaded. “You'll change your mind in five minutes.” ‘The Queen declined this request But, ‘to the scandal of the court and London society in ‘general, the duke made the actress his morganatic wife. Louisa Fairbrother, or Mrs. Fitzgeorge, as she was now called, was a really bril- liant woman. She made the duke a splendid wife, and it was due largely to A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHNN R. GUNN, Spontaneous Service. “There came a woman bearing an alabaster box of ointment of spiken- ard very precious, and she brake the box, and poured it on His head."— Mark xiv.3. Some complained that this was a waste, to pour this precious ointment on the Savior's head. Perhaps the woman herself would have hesitated, if she had stopped to deliberate and count the cost. The very fact that she did not con- sider the cost indicates that she acted on an impulse. It was one of those deeds that are done spontaneously when one never stops to deliberate about the cost. It came welling forth from the depths of her soul, born of a holy and passionate impulse. ‘The deed touched the Savior's heart. Of it He said: “Wheresoever this gos- pel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath d?ne shall be spoken of as a memorial of her.” ‘What was it about this simple serv- ice that so appealed to Him, and that called forth this special commendation and praise? What but the fact that it was the spontaneous expression of the deepest personal love toward - self? No service is so beautiful as the spontaneous. As the fountain has a glory beyond the pump, so the service that Tnnp_lrom the heart spon- taneously has a glory beyond that which We may not excuse ourselves from the sheer sense of duty. Me may not excuse ourselves from doing good on the ground that we do not feel moved to do it. good when it goes against the grain, give when the coins are glued to our fingers, sacrifice when self-interest urges that we cannot afford it. But spontaneous service, that which springs unforced from the heart, is the best and most beautiful. - The initial calculated as neces- sary for a rocket to clear the atmos- phere and gravity pull of the earth is about 400 miles a second, or 1,440,000 miles an hour.

Children’s Clothes, It you consulted your children's taste in the matter, they would probably vote against the faskion of dressing two of them alike. It seems to be negation of their individuality. Chil dren like to be considered “different”— especially different from other members of the same family. They don't like to be called by each others’ names, Doubtléss you remember that your- self. And you also probably remember that you didn't like to have your mother fit you out in a frock, coat, hat and dc- cessories just like those of your big sister Mary. It Was even more humiliat- ing if you were the big sister Mary and you were being fitted out just like sister Jane—Jane a mere infant compared to you. But that apparently has nothing | whatever to do with the matter, from the adult point of view. The fact is that it is fashionable to dress children just allke. A smart woman who has two older little gifls and two younger little girls dresses’them in pairs—that is, the two older ones take their morn- ing promenade in brown corduroy vel- vet _coats trimmed with fur, while the two! younger ones wear white fur coats and caps with white woolly gaiters. Just why the effect is so may not be easy for you to tell. Per- haps we can reduce it to the artistic principle of symmetry or repetition. There is beauty to be derived from a TBE. | repetition of objects exactly alike—such as the columns of a Greek temple, the portals of a Gothic cathedral, the mina- rets on a Turkish mosque. Two beauti- ful eyes are more beautitul than one— and so are two ears and two hands. The fact that they are allke adds to their charm, for some reason or other.

Boys big and little, boys playing ball, leaping, shouting, racing, brimful of the joy of youth. And not a girl in sight.

If they fight for their rights they get alternate days, and, unless they | wafch out and make .the count lap over they will swim two days and the boys three days a week. And girls reed to swim just as much as boys do. In equipping a school everybody re- members the shops for the boys, but unless there is & woman-on the board who remernbers that girls are highly important members of soéiety, the girls will have to do with 2 small room off in a corner for ‘a kitchen. Girls need to print in: the shop, to make copper Jars, to build boats, to make hats, dresses, cakes and jelly.
