Some of the new suits—of the dress- maker sort—are provided with attached scarf treatment of some sort that pro- vides sufficient finish at the neck. The regulation tailored suit seldom looks quite smart when worn with the jacket collar resting directly against the neck. Some fashion experts went so far as to predict a revival of high-collared blouses with the revival of the jacket suit. Yet suits have returned to fash- ion, and we are apparently no nearer to the high collar than ever. To be sure, there are collared shirt blouses of the mannish sort that look decidedly smart with the conventional sports suit. ‘They are, of course, worn with the reg- ulation four-in-hand tie.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. March 7, 1802—“The Baptist Church of Washington City” was organized to- dress | day. According to a report of the or- ganization given to the press, Rev. Jere- miah Moore, Lewis Richards, Adam Freeman and William Parkinson, min- isters of the Baptist Church, met and after a sermon by Rev. Mr. Moore, con- stituted the church. Six persons, according to the report, constituted the first membership. They are Charles P. Polk, Cephas Fax, Charles ers, John Buckner, Joseph Borrows and Sarah Borrows. It is exrcud that by next Fall a church building will be erected for the ocorner of Nine- I streets northwest. Rev.

There is, to begin with, what might be called the amateur class of flatterers who hold that you cannot get too much of a good thing and the more of it the better. Thelr method is to plaster their victim over with flatteries so thick that even the most egotistic fails to recognize himself. This is raw work and it only makes & hit with those whose self-adulation is so great that they believe any praise is merely 8 modest tribute to their worth. The only people to whom it is safe to hand compliments by the bucketfuls are those who are so super- humanly vain that they boast that they have no vanity and cannot be flattered. Next come the universal flatterers. These also are crude and amateurish in their methods. They tell every woman that she is a Greta Garbo and ask her whnlhn does not. go to Hollywood where they are just waiting and longing, for girls of her peculair type. They tell every man that he is a John Gilbert or a Gene Tunney, and it is & shame for him to be wasting himself shut up in an office when he might be making millions in the movies or in a prize ring. They pronounce every baby an infant phenomenon. Every story is the wittiest they ever heard, Every dinner the beet they ever ate. e ‘HE universial flatterers get nowhere with their cajoleries because they are too cheap and too obvious. The flatterers show their hands too plainly. Besides, we have no relish for table d’hote praise. We crave something that is specially cooked up for us. Nobody wants to be told she is beautiful and won- derful and witty and fascinating by & person who is telling that homely Mrs, Smith or that stupid Mrs. Jones exactly the same things about themselves. No- body wants her baby praised by one who can’t see how superior it is to that m| ipson baby. For praise is like diamonds. The rarer it is the more value it has, and ould all rather have half a compliment from a bilious, pessimistic critic than ole hallelujah chorus from one who pats everybody on the back. Then there are the blundering flatterers whose intentions are good, but whose technique is poor. They have a fatal facility for saying the wrong thing and irritating where they mean to soothe. They tell a doting mother what a speaking image her child is of her sister-in-law whom she hates. Or they tell a jealous husband how much his pretty wife is admired by other men. They tell an author how much they enjoyed that sweet little story of his in this month's magasine, when the writer has put his very heart's blood into trying to put across a tale of stark tragedy. Or they compliment an artist by u!xl.n’ & pleture rucy in which he has striven to interpret the character in a world-worn old face or to portray some sublime, storm-tossed bit of nature. In contradistinction to these are the adroit flatterers who play upon our with a thousand strings and whose music charms self-satisfaction that they may do with us as they choose. They have an unerring touch and they know divination whether we most long to be praised for the things we have and do or the things we lack and would like to do. 8o they tell a pretty woman how beautiful she is and that she is a vamp that ne man can resist. Or they tell a college graduate how intellectual she is and that she has & mind like a man’s, Or they tell a good-looking man that he is & sheik or a self-made man for his achievements or a purse-proud man for his riches. And they eat it up and ask for more. R BUT quite as often they do not flatter the beautiful woman for her looks, but dnl\ upon and that tickles her vanity what & wonderful intellect she has and what a beautiful , , for it makes her a sort of universal genius. has heard about her beautiful eyes and her peaches-and-cream complexion from every man she has ever met arid it leaves her cold, but she is flattered out of rea- son at a man seeing more in her than just a living picture, It is the same way with men. A homely man would rather be flattered for his looks than his achievements and a handsome man always wants to, be told he is a Napoleon of finance no matter if he can’t make a living. I know a multi-millionaire who is prouder of the poetry he writes than he is Organized one of the biggest trusts in the country. et And, of course, the subtlest flattery is the indirect flattery that people show us when they brighten at our coming, when they listen with bated breath while we talk, when they seek our society and ask our advice and somehow contrive to make us feel that they have put us on a pedestal and bow down before us. And there are two general compliments that always work whenever and wherever applied. Tell J:a young that they are sophisticated, and tell the t;‘ld gg_w tg-otuna they look and that nobody would suspect their age, They all fall “Vanity of vanities,” saith the preacher, “all is vanity.” .

It children never fought, if they never bit and hit, snatched each other’s play- things, teased or chased each other, we could be certain they weren't really human. Long before they reach the age when they smile while preferring to growl, and give up when they would rat! on, they go through the perfectly natural rnod of trying to get all they can without scruple as to methods. Parents are seemingly confused about how to deal with this battling stage, not only in their own family, but when complicated by neighbors. The follow- ing experiences are illuminating and in- teresting: “I have boys of 4 and 2 years,” writes Mrg. F. D. “We have a frequent visitor of 3 years who evidently has never been refuséd anything he wanted, whether ood for him or not. The older chil- :en“m his own family have no rights at all. “He does not fight when he comes over here, but when he wants a toy he says, ‘Tl home if you don't give it to me.’ e children want him to stay and so give him what he wants. “Recently I listened in, and when I heard him say this I insisted that he g0 home. That was two weeks ago and 1 notice that he no longer makes that threat. I made it plain that each is to have his turn, and though it takes endless repetition, it really works after | 18 a time. I find them settling their dis- putes by saying, ‘Let’s each have a chance’ As for what the neighbor thinks when her child comes home sulk- ing, I am not concerned. I don't want my children to grow up spineless and afraid to stand up for their rights.” Another interesting experience is re- lated by Mrs. A. L. C.: “We had a little neighbor girl who bullied every one. If she didn't get what she wanted, some one was hurt. Every day the children ran in screaming bscause she had hit them, or was about to. I got tired of this so one day I grabbed the pursued child and held her until the chaser arrived. Then I told my child to go to it, that she was either to beat up the bully or I would trim her for being & coward. This isn't according to intelligentsia, I know, but two lessons put an end to it. After the fight Immtgzlvullynmlthmemm to be treated that way, gave them all cookies, washed faces and combed hair, and every one was happy. All of these disputes take place in our yard because the neighbors don’t want their children at home, too much noise, or they mess had to take things in my own hands.” ‘The chief lesson to be learned from these experiences is that the booer flees when booed at, and if the child is forced to carry out his threats he is apt to think twice before he makes them. Ordinarily, I think it better for parents not to interfere, but rather to counsel their children to stand up for their rights. In the case of very young children one may have to lead the way, but make it plain te the older child that nothing encuun\,e: being chased like running away. If one stands and shows fight, the battle may never occur. | press made from clean absorbent cotton. FEA1TUKRES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS.

First it's the fig- ure, then the complexion, then it's my hair, my hands and my nails.” * Quite true, there is a great deal to this business of trying to make the most of one’s beauty, and even our young friend’s list of subjects to be considered is far from complete. She forgot to mention important details such as dou- ble chins and chinlines, facial wrin- kles, dry skin, ofly skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, eyes and eyebrows, sal- lowness, old-lookiny ears, attractive cofftures, becoming colors and clothes, artistic make-! &: one might go on and on, 1 1 this may seem somewhat formidable, wouldn't it really be much worse if beauty was absolutely depend- ent upon just one essential? As it is, practically every one has at least some claim to beauty.

Every one can think of some woman among her acquaintances whose out- stending claim to loveliness comes from a beautiful pair of eyes, with long, eurl- lashes and well groomed, nicely shaped eyebrows. ‘These features can do much toward making the eyes themselves appear L“r?;?\t e}t‘sl.orful. decpl -nd’m lovely.

Fortunately the style of plucking the eyebsows until nothing was left but & tiny line of hairs is past. A few years ago this fad was prevalent. One saw the most astonishing and unnatural effects, exaggerated curves, straight lines and mismated pairs of eyebrows. But the biggest disadvantage of the plucked eye- brow is not only its inartistic shape, but the care it requires. Milady found that the hairs '(;1:' in so rapidly and looked 80 untidy ¢ t] 3 out over an over again.
