WOMAN’'S PAGRE.Y Degree of Form ality in Dressing BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In giving an invitation the hostess @oes not always indicate just the degree of formality expected in the matter of dressing. At times one can inquire of fellow guests, but not always is this possible. It is partly out of this need, INDIVIDUAL JACKET OF MANY USES HELPS ONE_ TOWARD BEING ‘THE PERFECT GUEST. which it so well fills, that the extra- Jacket-costume has arisen and has proved itself so popular. After one reaches the destination the jacket can be left on if informality Seems to prevail, or removed if evening attire rules the moment. The dress in such a costume is sleeveless and its ap- | pearance without the jacket that of a simple dinner gown. While it is possible to buy many such lovely costumes, with separate jackets for each, an even more distinctive ef- fect is achieved when the individual jacket has a character all its own, yet is an adjunct to several gowns. Its beauty is not merely that of an acces- sory garment. Rather does the rest of the dress tend to set it off. It is of interest to the needlewoman |to know the adornment most favored | upon this type of jacket, which, in itself, is very easy to make. Beading is the choice, partly because it is both beauti- ful and fashionable and partly because, used upon the light fabrics, it tends to give them weight enough to hold them |In position. If beading is not used, |some inserted weights are desirable | around the lower edge. Embroidered or | painted georgettes are used effectively. | Lace, mjatching the color of the gown, is sometimes used. Transparency is nearly | always a quality of such jackets. Their |object is not warmth, although some- | times for this purpose their slight ad- | ditional protection is welcome when {there is a draft. In the week end visit such a jacket tucks easily into the suit case and seldom returns unworn. There seems to be no age limit, in ‘elther youth or maturity, which pre- scribes its use.

Dream Facts. ‘The following represent a few of the well established facts about dreams: There are a few (very few) people who have never dreamed. They can in no way understand what others mean ‘when they talk about dreams. Even the longest dreams occur in ves short durations of time. In all prob- ability any single dream does not last longer than 60 seconds. Some dreams are very faithful repro- ductions of past experiences. That is ‘why some people are puzzled about their dreams—“Did that actually happen or did I just dream it?” You do your dreaming, for the most part, just as you fall to sleep and just as you are waking.

C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY - 27, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. February 27, 1861.—Unexpectedly re- considering its action of yesterday, the peace convention today ended its pro- tracted labors here by adopting the so- called Franklin proposition as a basis of settlement of the present difficulties between the slave and free States. When the convention adjourned sine die, many persons felt that the Union had been saved. “The House of Representatives will indorse the settlement by the constitu- tional majority required,” says The Eve- ning Star this afternoon. “Every bor- der State has been saved to the Union by the convention’s work today, and the | return of the seceded States to the| Union is now but a qusetion of short time.” | ‘The plan is in the form of a pro- posed thirteenth article to the Consti- tution. It provides that in all the pres- ent territory of the United States north of the parallel 36-30 slavery is pro- hibited, while south of that line the status of slaves shall not be changed. Nor shall any law be passed by Con- gress or by the territorial islatures to hinder the taking of slaves from any State to any Territory south of the line, nor to impair the rights of citizens “arising under such relation.” When a new State is admitted north or south of the line, the question of slavery with- in its borders shall be determined by the constitution adopted by such State. It is proposed to stipulate further that neither the Constitution nor any amendment shall be construed to give Congress power to regulate or abolish slavery in any State, nor in the Dis- trict of Columbia without the consent of Maryland. Nor shall Congress have power to prohibit ‘‘Representatives and others from bringing with them to the District of Columbia, retaining and tak- ing away” slaves from any State. The majority of the Virginia and North Carolina delegates voted with the Greeleyites against the plan. The Mis- souri and Kansas delegates were equally divided and did not cast a vote. The majority of the Indiana delegates voted in the affirmative. Illinois voted in the affirmative, and New York was equally divided. There were favorable major- itles in enough other free State dele- gations to bring about the adoption of the proposition, which it is hoped will save the Union. The final vote by State delegations was 9 to 8 in favor of the PFranklin proposition. — Tripe Fricassee. Take some white, fresh honeycomb tripe and cut 1t into long pieces.

I LITTLE BE Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Business Troubles. Have you ever looked among “Busi- ness Troubles” in the newspaper? Un- der that heading are usually listed fail- ures, receiverships and bankruptcies. It is sad reading for a few homes, inter- | esting reading for some more, but no | reading at all for the majority. Yet| “Business Troubles” have a significance that escapes ncne of us. Business troubles may begin at home. A nagging wife who demands so much speculate is the germ of many a busi- ness trouble. Not less so is the wife who foments jealousy, discord and mis- trust among partners. | ‘While accounts we read do not prove | it, lack of working capital in a business may Pe the outcome of home condi- tions." When children must go away to college, or when an automobile becomes a necessity, or when mother and sis simply “have to” get fur eoats, father must get the money from somewhere. There is always the wife who man- ages to overdraw her bank account monthly. At first the husband is amused, then he becomes annoyed and finally he is dismayed. He never knows what the deficit will be and his mental unrest is matched by his financial shortcomings. One business is enough for any man to manage and he should be allowed to concentrate on his busi- ness in town. “Why_don't you go into that busi- ness? Bill Jones is making oodles of money,” says the well meaning wife, and she lays seeds for a future failure. One man’s success at a particular job or business is no assurance another will succeed there, too. New businesses are in the majority in the list of failures. Neglect is the ruin of many business careers. A wife hears of money being |made in a real estate boom or stock market raid. The husband is until he sinks some of his money in the speculation. Gradually more of his | time and money is involved and his legitimate business interests are neglect- ed. The fatal results are generally in- evitable.

Famous Cinderellas—Good and Bad Archduke Charles Met Humble Elsa Czuber Wher He Picked Up Parcel She Dropped in Street. BY J. P. GLASS, “OVER A COPPER KETTLE OF COOKING FRUIT HE ASKED ELSA TO MARRY HIM.” The democratic Archduke Charles, | another of these princes of the House | of Hapsburg whose loves gave the Em- | peror Fran Josef so much concern, | used to carry his purchases home from | Vienna shops, thereby scandalizing the | shopkeepers, who could not bear to see royalty so menially occupied. One night in the street the parcel. laden archduke saw a girl drop a pack- | age. He restored it. He perceived the | girl to be extremely good looking. Her | murmured thanks offered an opportun- | ity for conversation. He called at her | home. They fell in love and he de- | cided to marry her. | She was Elsa Czuber, well educated | daughter of a high school teacher, in- | elligent, clever and witty. | Charles was past the first and per- | haps the second, blush of youth. He was Hofburg. He found piquancy in the life of Herr Czuber's little flat, where | Frau Czuber catered to his robust ap- petite with sausages, mashed potatoes and Munich ale. It was while the archduke was en- gaging in his pleasant recontre that the Kaiser William of Germany decided to visit Vienna., Emperor Franz Josef im- mediately ordered all the archdukes in Austria to be prepared to attend every | State function in the visitor's honor, | Now the Emperor had known of Charles’ affair with pretty Elsa Czuber, but, until the coming of the Kaiser | his surprise when the archduke in- formed him he wouldn't be able to pay tribute to the Kaiser, as he would not be in Vienna. “But you must said Franz Jasef. “I count upon it. You must cultivate the acquaintance of our ally. My dear boy, you know you may one day be emperor of Austria. “God forbid!” exclaimed the prince. “Anyway, I won't be here. I promised my friends, the Czubers, long ago, that I would go with them to their cottage in the country. Every year they make jam at this time. I'm going to pick fruit and help Frau Czuber make jam.” The emperor fumed and fretted, but it did no good. Charles went to the country with his humble friends, and over a copper kettle of cooking fruit asked Elsa to marry him.
