This season we hear less of such classifications. suits as being either tailor suits or dressmaker’s suits—a distinction that implies more concerning the way the suit is made than the purposes to which it will be put.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL, Unfriendly Children. Parents shocked by the unfriendly attitudes of ‘zlr::lex;n;)lhiégxen. Xh"eh they expected -operation they find silence, sulking, talking back, defiance, utter un- friendliness. Why should that be? ‘When the children were little, this was not so. They were friendly, obedi- ent, affectionate. Then this change gradually fell upon them. They began along about the age of 3 and 4 years to discover they were people. They found that they wanted things, that they wanted to change things about them, that they had a wish to -be di ferent from those about them occa- sionally. When they displayed any such desire, their elders promptly objected and punished them. “No, no. You do as I say and ask no questions.” That attitude of “do as I say and ask | no questions” brings in its bill along about the time of adolescence. By that time the personality is well developed, the desires are stronger, the will is firmer, and what was in the beginning a question of the life about the child has become a determined intention to |do_and to dare on his own account. If the child had no such equipment, he would never develop into a sel sustaining, self-suppo! g individual His personality must be allowed exer- cise, his desire to be a person of im- | portance in the family group must be fulfilled happily. The child must be |given as large a share in the life of the SILK SUIT INDICATED ABOVE A NARROW WAISTBAND ‘THAT TIES AT THE FRONT AND | THE BLACK CREPE BOLERO BE- LOW HAS ENDS THAT TIE IN| FRONT. 1t is appropridte for town wear, all day | long. It is marked by the conventional treatment of the collar, by its formal simplicity, and when correctly worn it is the smartest possible street costume. | Among dressmaker suits there are those that are suitable for sports wear, others for town wear and still others that are appropriate for more formal afternoon occasions. These suits show the individual treatment and originality that distinguish the work of a dress- maker from that of a tailor. This Spring many of the smartest of these suits are finished with narrow strips of the material tied or looped at the front. ‘Whether you choose a tailor suit or 8 dressmaker suit should depend on which one you find most becoming, re- membering always that the conven- tionally tailored suit is smart only when smartly worn and that it demands (?m{ly as he is able to carry from the start. Little children who say “Let me, let me,” must be given the chance they ask for without grudging. Let them try. Help them try. Set the stage for their successful effort. Praise them when they succeed. Encourage them to take over home responsibilities and talk hopefully of the time when they can relieve you of any and all responsibil- ity as occasion offers or demand: If you want friendly children, you must maintain an attitude of friendli- ness toward them. Speak to them as though you respected them as people. The lest child understands that tone and responds to it. A dominating tone, harsh, unsympathetic manner sends child back imnto itself and ends in utter unfriendliness. ‘Take a child into partnership early. Say “we” when you are planning Talk over family hopes and plans; let the children join in the dis- cussion of ways and means according to their powers and intelligence at the time. Each bit of co-operation strength- ens f|ur th:h nmum:m‘hmmdly experience lays the or "the next. Acts tend to t themselves. So do mental attitudes. In fact. the mental attitudes are first always.

I don't like to read and I don’t want him to do it. If I try to stop him, do_you think that would drive him away from me? LILY DE B. Ans Surest thing in the world. I can think of no quicker or more certain way of killing your husband’s affection for you than by the exercise of such a_petty tyranny as depriving him of the innocent pleasure of reading. Nor can I think of any way by which you could so quickly disillusion your husband as by showing him that you are so ignorant and illiterate, that you not only have no interest in reading yourself, but resent his reading. l’flAny wife who interferes with her husband's personal habits does so at her peril. up, but cannot give up. It is in his blood. It is part of his being. It is the one thing that is more necessary to him even than love. The thing that is closer to him than any woman, for, to paraphrase Mr. Kipling, a woman fis only a wife, but a good book is an anodyne for sorrow, an opiate for forgetful- ness, rest and refreshment for weariness and a magic carpet that in the twinkling of an eye carries you to the regions of fairyland. To try to break a man of the reading habit is more hopeless than to try to break him of the dope habit, and as long as he lives he will hunger and thirst for the printed word as a starving man hungers and thirsts for bread | and water. Put Venus and the morning paper side by side and a man will grab the paper first. Let a man love to read and he will do without food and clothes to buy books, and no matter how busy he is he will steal time to read. 8o my advice to you is not to try to break your husband of reading, but to cultivate the reading habit yourself. In that way alone will you keep your husband, for if you don’t read you are bound to grow dull, stupid and boresome, and he will assuredly leave you for some more intelligent woman with whom he can talk about the things he rude. -k DOROTHY DIX.

Answer: I would leave him flat, Sally, and let him marry one of his living skeletons, for what is a mere husband compared to mayonnaise and souffies and ice cream and such? Besides, I shouldn't want one of the pernickety men who are always trying to make over their wives, anyway. Fancy how horrible it would be to have to sit across the table every day from a husband who kept tab of your calories and warned you that everything you put in your mouth was fattening! Don't marry until you find 2 man who thinks you are just right as you are and that there can't be too much of a good thing. DOROTHY DIX., (Copyright, 1930.)

One of these is the return to light woods. For many years these have been decidedly out, and only dark woods, such as mahogany, Amer- ican walnut, antique oak, etc. have been in high favor. This does not signify that the dark woods are being discarded, but that more freedom of ?hok:e is permitted, decoratively speak- ng. L3 In the first rank of desirability among the light woods is maple. It has a soft sheen, apart from its inherent texture. This is. in large measure, due to the finish, which is not highly polished, but is what is sometimes termed an egg- shell finish. Bird’s-eye maple is in the background. It had its vogue a few ;:.-n :go. ‘m“g i; not ’tuturad in the esent Tevival of maple. Pino is a close second to maple. Hard pine is preferable, although all pine that goes into furniture is not hard pine. ‘The in of most soft pine is unin- teresting. It is one of the woods fre- quently used for painted furniture, in which the grain is murel{ obliterated. Gumwood 15 another, favorite for paint- ed furniture. It is ‘not painted furni- ture that is of moment to us now, how- ever, but that in which the wood’s natural tone is stressed. birch is another ‘favored wood, as are also apple and other fruit tree woods. The vogue of European provincial and Provencal furniture is notable. Such reversion to types from the con- tinent which were first brought to America denotes a modern trend which is .reputed to be partly responsible for the uses of the various light-colored woods. In speaking of light woods, few are as light in tone as pine, but all are decidedly lighter than mahogany, an- tique oak, black walnut, etc. ‘There is a delightful crudity about the carving on most of the old-time styles mentioned. There a sturdiness about the shapes and a solidity notable in the craftsmanship. Peasant furniture and early American, for instance, were made to endure usage and to fit in with very simple furnishin; ’a. They have a charm of their own, & style of furni- ture that deserves respect and is wel- come for its suitability to modern deco- rative trends in American homes. (Copyrisht, 1930.) Brasil is stopping all expenditures ¢n public works, > MARCH 8, 1930, Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. March 8, 1858.—For the past two or three days the mail by the Potomac River boat and the Fredericksburg & Richmond Railroad has missed rl):!bld connections for the North at this city, owing to the ice in the river and to the low stage of the water at the landing in Aquia Creek, Va. It is there that the mail is transferred from the railroad cars to the steamboat which is sup- posed to bring it to Washington for transference to the Baltimore & Ohio us the Southern mails for all points north of Washington have been h:l:l up and hundreds of passengers have also been delayed and otherwise vexed. It is 'presumed that the Post Office Department will exact the stipulated forfeitures from the mail contractors for this delay. The contractors could have avoided the loss of a single mail by transferring the mails for the time being to the through railroad line by way of Alexandria and Gordonsville and the Alexandria and Orange & Central Railroads, which have not missed any of their connections with the Baltimore & Ohio or the Richmond & Petersburg Railroads this Winter. A contract exists under which the Southern mails are supposed to be transferred when the rivér is frozen up. The failure of the Potomac River and the Fredericksburg & Richmond Cos. to comply promptly with their obligations in this respect, besides compelling their passengers to lose from 12 to 24 hours of traveling time and to submit to ad-~ ditional expense, involves considerable injury to the public interest because of the failure of the mails. Congress is agitated over the question of increasing the Army to guard the Texas frontier, quell disturbances in Utah, protect supply and immigrant trains over the Western plains and through the Rocky Mountains and sup- press the Indian hostilities on the Northern and Western frontiers. Ma- jority and minority bills have just been reported from the House military com- mittee. The first proposes to raise five volunteer companies, one to be mounted and raised in Texas for service along her own border and, the others, to be mounted or Infantry; in the President’s discretion, for use elsewhere in the Western country. The minority bill would provide for one mounted and two Infantry regiments of Regulars. ‘The War Department, with the ap- proval of President Buchanan, has asked for five additional regiments for the Regula: Army, but there does not ap- pear to be any chance of getting them.

FEATUR ES. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Rough, Dry Elbows. Dear Miss Leeds: Would you please tell me what I can do to whiten the skin at the edge of the arm just to the front and under the armpit? My skin is very coarse there and always has the appearance of a discolored underarm, which makes it very hard for me to wear a sleeveless dress. (2) My elbows are also rough, dry and scaly. How may I make them smooth and clean looking? Hoping to see my answer in print, and many thanks for your help- ful beauty talks that appear daily. INTERESTED READER. Answer.—Keep your armpits smooth. Every morning after your bath or sponge bath wash your armpits with plenty of warm, soapy water. Dry thoroughly and dampen with toilet | water and dust with talcum or bath | powder. At bedtime wash them again | and pat on a little of the following lotion: Two ounces witch hazel and one | teblespoonful bicarbonate of soda. Once | of twice a wesk the following bleaching | lotion may be used: One ounce perox- | ide, one teaspoonful borax, two ounces glycerin, two ounces rosewater and four | ounces witch hazel. Shake well. Ap- ply with a clean piece of absorbent cotton and allow it to dry on the skin. | It is impossible to bleach naturally dark underarm skin white, but it may be lightened considerably by the above method. (2) Elbows may be greatly improved by regular massage with a good cold cream, tissue cream or oil. Scrub them every night with a mild soap and warm water, followed by several rinsings in tepld and last with cold water. Dry thoroughly and massage them for sev- eral minutes with some cream. For stubborn cases like yours use a few drops of the following oil every night and morning: Three ounces oil of benne or oil of sweet almonds, 15 grains of powdered benzoin, one ounce cologne water. Dissolve the benzoin in the cologne water and add to the oil, drop by drop, slowly. Shake well. The above oil may be used on the face, neck, arms, elbows, knees, legs or wrists when the skin appears dry, scaly and rough. A bleaching pack may be used once or twice a week to help to bleach the skin on elbows, arms and hands. I shall be pleased to mail my beauty leaflet on care of the hands and arms if you wi write me again and ask for it. Inclose a self-addressed stamped envelope f mailing. LOIS LEEDS. Oily Skin and Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: I wish you would help me to solve my beauty problems. (1) I am bothered very much with oily hair. I have tried several things, but they gave no relief. What would you | recommend? (2) I have a very oily | skin also, and by complexion is inclined | to be rather sallow. What shall I do to improve it? (3) I have rather a full face and dark brown, straight hair. ‘What would be a good coiffure for me? MRS. B. D. Answer—Oily hair may be shampooed once a week with a reliable shampoo liquid. Rinse the hair thoroughly, using hot and cold water alternately and finish with a tepid rinse. Two or three times a week an astringent tonic may be applied. Here is a tonic for BEAUTY CHATS Some Rules for Daintiness. I don't mean to imply that you are noi dainty. But these days we are all of us so busy that we, being human and weak, put off until tomorrow or the day after things we firmly mean to do to- day, And keeping all our toilet accesso- ries antiseptically clean is one of the things we put off. TIdeally, hairbrushes and powder puffs should be cleaned every time they are used. There is no use rubbing back onto your skin or into your scalp the dirt you're rubbed off last time. Fluffy swansdown puffs, delicately colored and so very alluring, ought to be abolished! | You can’t clean them, you go on using them, and they become extraordinarily dirty. So does your skin. Suppose you've a pimple or blackhead with an open top on your face. Bad enough to fill it up with powder—the spot is full of germs; you'll find that out if you touch it with peroxide, which will then bubble up as it does when it comes in contact with dirt. But what about rubbing these germs over the face with powder, as you spread it with your puff? One little germ will find a pore some- where else, settle in and breed a few thousand companions. Result, another pimple! Choose one day a week for cleaning your toilet things. Any day, only stick to that day. Brushes must be washed with soapy, hot water, and are cleaned best if they are rubbed together. The brush can also be used to scrub clean the comb and all rinsed together in warm and then cool water. Powder gufls should be of velvet or velour, flat, eart shaped, or round, and washed once & week, too, with lots of soap. THE 18-DAY DIET. Lunch—Two eggs, lettuce, tomato, half grapefruit, Dinner—Two chops, six slices cucum- ber, tr::l ol{:u. wma&o. letrt‘;l:;m ht;a!: a or coffee. g:gmn& have a slice of toast instead. Marie—Steep the camomile in boiling water and then let it stand until the golden shade has been extracted from the leaves. You may dampen thes hair slightly with the tea at any time you wish to brighten it. Of course, this will not counteract the tendency of the shade to change from blond to brown. as it is just added coloring, that would not be any more enduring than a bril- liantine. A weak tea made from saffron gives a shade toward the red. When a child’s hair, of 12 years of age is changing color, there can be nothing gained by interfering with it. B. M. S—Any form of exercise in which you use your legs will tend to reduce them when they are too stout. If you dance or swim, you will be giving DAILY DIET RECIPE BITKI (COSSACK STEAK).

LEEDS. excessively oily hair: Ten ounces bay rum, one dram boric acid, one-half ounce bicarbonate of sods, two ounces cologne water, one dram tincture of cantharides and one dram quinine sul- phate. Shake well. Divide the hair into a number of small strands. Apply the tonic to the scalp and massage with the flngrfips for several minutes. Give the hair and scalp an air bath and a sun bath reg- ularly. To brush the hair, bend over from the waist and brush your hair yp- ward from the scalp so that the air may penetrate to the scalp. If your hair becomes too oily between washings, use equal parts of cologne water, alco- hol and witch hazel to remove the ex- cess oil. Divide the hair into strands and moisten the whole scalp and hair with the lotion, then rub dry with a Turkish towel. This will remove the excess oil and cleanse the scalp. Polish the hair afterward with a piece of old silk; this will give the hair a beautiful, glossy finish. (2) Excessively oily complexions and oily hair have both internal and ex- ternal causes. Overindulgence in fried, greasy foods and pastries tends to bring about this condition. Lack of fresh air and sunshine, lowered vitality, const: pation, ill health and nervous condi- tions are some of the causes. These two beauty problems are usually found among those employed in sedentary work.
