w OMAN'S PAGE." Keener Interest in Jewelry BY MARY MARSHALL. Clothes of today are a perfect set- ting for jewelry—jewelry of the right sort. Our hats are still extremely simple’as to trimming, in spite of their increased femininity. Shoes are simpler than they have been for several sea- sons. ‘The shoe that is showy by rea- son of its large, brilliant buckles is out of phee.wlge the new longer skirts. Elaborately trimmed gloves are seldom worn by well dressed womer. In fact the excellence of all these things often 4s made most apparent by their sim- plicity. All this leaves a real need in PASTEL RHI =TONED CRYSTAL AND NESTONE NECKLACE. IN TWO SHADES WITH BRACELET MATCH. SPORTS NECKLACE OF PLEATED LEATH- ER HAS A GOLD BOW KNOT.

Ever since Darwin started the idea that we folks were evolved from the earth, the scientists have been digging in the ground. They want to open Adam'’s grave or find the missing i Up to date they have found an ape man, a Java man and a few other specimens. But the news of the day is to the effect that they have found the re- mains of a3 human being who lived a million years ago. Not only that, which would be enough of a sensation, but the skull seems to be that of a woman. She is some old lady who flourished those thousands and thousands of years ago. This, I believe, is the first time on lutionary sample has been of the fer All the rest of the fossils have been men. If her prehistoric husband was buried by her side in the immemorial past there’s no trace of him now. But we can't get much of a kick out of the idea that woman put in an appearance so long ago, for if there is anything a woman desires it is to be up-to-date and clothed in the latest fashions. ‘The real evolution of woman is a matter of recent memory. In our very century she acquired the ballot, kept her old job, bobbed her hair in the nouveau manner and evolved from the Rainy Daisy to the girl-woman of the short skirt. What happened to her in the million years before that didn't count. The evolved woman of our day is the real woman whose advent wasn't even thought of in the dim and distant past. During the past eras most of the evolving was done by man, who came out of the cave, washed and dressed and shaved and began to de- ;:lop civilization and organized base 11 All this time woman was hanging , waiting for her chance to do a little evolving on her own account. But once she started, as she did in the second Roosevelt administration, there was no stopping her. She caught up with man and now threatens to pass him in the race. But we’ll make a mistake if we imagine that woman was ever supposed to evolve into a different sort of crea- ture. She was meant to be woman from the beginning to the end of the chapter. If we think she is to evolve into a man we don’t dope evolution down in the tht way. With all that has taken place in her life, woman is the same creature as the lady who went to sleep & million and other bijouterie than d interest in such things possession nowadays, be- years ago—the Eternally Feminine.

Let me quote the advice given the public by one of the very best health suthorities in the country, a man who hle.l.mm .:hc;ne lugl as few of his col- eve. r. health officer of Roc! broadcast from Station WHAM said: “If not install a good you cannot or will air moistening , keep your By Luggage Shall Ye inow Smart Traveler. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Martha and Nancy had gone shop- ping for clothes for the coming Eur pean trip. Nancy said she found most as much pleasure in shopping with “Johnny” as she would have had ‘were she going herself. At that, Peter thought he detected a longing look in Nancy's eyes. He made up his mind that by another year he would take her for a long trip. “She had earned it, by George. They had been somewhat cramped for money ever since they had been married, yet Nancy had never ‘com] never found fault. And e, s s o before she married him. “She’s a thoroughbred, all right,” thought he, “and day I hope I can show my a) But Nancy guessed lit- of this as she rattled on about the day’s purchases. “Johnny says she intends to keep all her luggage under her hand and eye on this trip. That means no trunks. But she has & large suit case called a week end case, almost a young trunk, which can be carried easily since it has a han- dle. Then she has a suit case and a all 3 “fimm luggage she has a hot-water g i H ¥ i king a steamer duime bag or e r a_separate ge flled 1 : i of I purchases more than of thi 0 H & showers interest you cellar warm and wet in Winter. Wet down the floor of the cellar twice a day. Keep the coal wet and the cellar floor damp. We were warned against damp cellars in the old days, but these were damp, cold cellars. What we plead for today is & warm, moist cellar with more heating comfort, less ex- penditure for fuel, less dust in the house. Another pertinent observation Dr. Goler made in this same radio talk was this—and I commend it particularly to the attention of the people who would question the soundness of some teach- ings of mine about the same subject: “The evaporation of about a quarter of a barrel of water daily is requi to furnish sufficient moisture for the air of a modern six-room house in zero weather if the indoor temperature is maintained at 70 degrees F.” A quarter of a barrel is perhaps nine gallons. That is necessary for a six- room dwelling. In actual practice I have found that the quantity of water Dr. Goler mentions is, if anything, not quite enough to evaporate daily, to keep the air in ideal condition, in very cold weather. The little hot-water pan in a furnace is not worth the trouble of filling. The attempt to evaporate water from open vessels is futile. Dr. Goler's method, wetting down the cellar floor twice a day, would be a good one enough. If the cellar is cold, water will not evaj te rapidly enough. There are excellent automatic systems on the market, ‘which are built in and require no attention afterward. Every one building a home should ‘)hn to have such a system of air-conditioning in it. The thing will pay for itself. When such humidifying equipment is not available, the next best thing, I believe, is the use of suitable reservoirs on radi- ators or registers or even on the stove, with many loops of absorbent wicking or cloth like Turkish toweling suspended over and dripping into the water. Such humidifiers do evaporate a large quan- tity of water, but, of course, they must be refilled once or twice a day, from a bucket with a convenient spout. The ideal atmosphere indoors in very cold weather is a temperate one, as nearly like a perfect Autumn day out- doors as we can make it. The tem- perature is from 64 to 68 degrees F., and the humidity 35 to 40 per cent. When you heat the air above 68 de- grees it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain anything like a fair humid- ity. But any one may determine from actual experience that an indoor tem- perature of 67 degrees F. with a fair | humidity (say 35 per cent) is more com- fortable than a temperature of 72 de- grees F. with a humidity of only 15 or 20 per cent.

Amusing Stay-at-Home. ©One mother says: ‘When Neva and Vivian started to school Lucile felt left out of all the pleasurable excitement and found life rather dull, so I decided to give her a little special attention. As most moth- ers know a busy child is a happy child, so I gave her little chores to occupy her hands and mind. I let her smooth the beds as they were being made, set the table, wipe the silver and help me in whatever I was doing. Though it did slow me up a little in my work, I felt repaid by the happy litile girl I had be- side me. When school clothes were planned, Lucile, too, had some new ings. Colored crayons, a cheap tablet and a gay new pencil made her feel that she had some of the equipment of her school-going sisters and were a source of great satisfaction to her. (Copyright, 1930.)

EAR DOROTHY DIX—I am a bride of six months, 24 years of age and very much disgusted with life. I have a husband with whom I am very much in love, but who loves money better than anything else in the world. Up to the time I was married I had my own money, plenty of nice clothes and a thousand dollars in the bank. I am still working and earning $30 a week. My husband has our savings account in his name and refuses to make it a joint account. I turn over my whole pay envelope to him and out of the $30 I get $8 for living expenses, which includes the laundry. He gives me 10 extra, also out of my own pay, to take care of m for the house. I have to do all of luncheons, car fare, clothes and incidentials the housework. I haven’t any money of my own any more, my clothes are shabby, and he often tells me how homely I am getting, which is simply because I haven't the clothes now that I used to have. ‘What would you advise me to do? Leave him while I am still young or continue living with him as a sort of business partner? as the means of getting some extra money. I feel that he only cares for me ‘WORRIED. 1 don’t see why you look upon yourself as “a sort of business partner” to a husband who gives you as rotten a deal as t| profits of a business, while you are merely Partners share equally in the slave. The man you are married to isn't & real husband. He is a padrone, who hires you out and collects your . Your position is intolerable, and ‘I shouldn't "think it would take you more than two minutes to read an emancipation proclamation to your grasping husband, and if he refuses to ‘treat you fairly to put on your hat and walk out. Incidentally, I trust that your case will make many a business girl with a and a good pay envelope and money in the bank pause and reflect be- fore she enters into matrimony. Also, that it will cause her to ascertain the views of the man she is marrying upon the subject of the wage-earning wife and make her reach some definite agreement with him about what her share of their joint income is to be. ‘The fact that so many women are now continuing in business after they are married has raised not only a host of new financial problems but new domestic problems. In the old days when a man, alone and unaided, supported the family he felt he had a right to hold the pocketbook and to dole out money to his wife, generously or scantily as he saw fit. ugh, in reality, every woman who does the work of making a home this, thot He had a show of reason for earns over and over again every cent that she receives. But now a la earners. ‘They worl number of women are not only homemakers, but money- all day in office or shop or factory and then rush home and clean and scrub and cook.

When & business gir], unacquainted with the various necessities ;tw a house and of home-making, is to be , it becomes one of her ?\unm duties to find out what she must have in the way of furniture and furnishings for a home, however small. There are certain things that are imperative whether the home consists of & two or three room apart- ment or a large house. Requests come to me for specific and detailed infor- mation. In response I am today sug- gesting the necessary iurniture for a three-room apartment. Fortunately it is wise when housing quarters are small to keep the number of pf their minimum. This number and style of rooms comprising the three-room apartment. The kitch- enette is not included as a room. It is usually too small to put any furniture into. It requires equipment, not fur- niture other than a combination chair- step-ladder, or library steps, and pos- sibly a table—though probably not. If there is no kitchenette the dining room is dubbed a dinette. From a tenant's point of view a kitchenette "“1'-’1'12 bath room never is classed as a room, but AlwWAys as an extra as three rooms, kitchenette and bath.

CRAIG. March 22, 1855—~The Washington Highlanders, one of the city’s militia organizations, met this evening and elected John Watt as its first lieutenant. Mr. Watt is well known to the people of Washington as the genial superin- tendent of the grounds around the President’s Mansion. He is a High- lander from Scotland, but is always ready and willing to answer the sum- mons of his adopted-country. ‘The unmanly practice of wife-beating continues in Washington, despite the strictness of the local police in making arrests for this offense during the last few months. Patrick McGuire was ar- rested today for whipping his wife. He was taken before Capt. Birch, who sent | pri him to jail in default of bail to keep the peace. It will be recalled that Congress at he recent session voted a large sum of money to carry forward work on the Capitol extension. Among the items was an appropriation for iron domes for the new Senate and House cham- bers and a new dome for the central rotunda. ‘The work of making the iron castings for the Senate dome has been awarded to Messrs. Newsham & Co. of Balti- more. Many of the castings have al- ready been completed at the foundry on Fremont street in that city. The heavy castings for the framework of the dome are as smooth -as forged iron, while the joints fit together as if they were reduced to a square with a file or slotting machine. It is intended to have the whole im- provement completed, if possible, before the next session of Congress begins. Gunning for skylarks in the District of Columbia by small boys is a popular sport these days. Boys of all ages, in gangs numbering from three to a dozen, are shooting in all directions. Today one of the boys, the son of Mrs. Hugh Hughes of the PFirst Ward, while gun- ning for skylarks, accidentally shot an- other boy, the son of Mrs. Barton Hack- ney. The load of shot entered the boy’s abdomen and inflicted a very serious would. It may be impossible to ex- tract it, Most persons here are wondering why such accidents have not been more fre- quent under the circumstances, as the gangs of boys wander through the Dis- trict, shooting at the birds in a very careless manner.

In a large house each room can have such individuality. The selec- tion of the living room furniture is, therefore, one to.which most attention should be given. i If some one is a musician, a plano would be one piece not to be omitted. If, however, a person has 4 literary bent bookcases would be imperative, and a plano a luxury. If a couple are very hospitable or if they are in a city not. far from one of the .amilies so that en- tertaining over night would result, a day bed or davenport bed would be needed. It may be added that such a piece of furniture is desirable in any event, but as indicated it would be a necessity in the first instance. It may be that a handsome sofa is chosen instead, in which case, it should be long enough for a person to lie down on comfortably. Assuming a sofa or its substitute is one needed article, others would be a desk and its chair, one easy chair (or more), two or three side chairs, a living room table and an occasional table, one large rug or several scattéred rugs, draperies for the windows. One or more lamps would be desirable, and let us hnm one bookcase would be wanted. A living room would be insufficiently fur- nished that did not include the things named. A dining room requires a dining room set or its equivalent, le., table, chairs and sideboard or buffet. It demands no more. A bed room calls for a double bedstead or twin beds, a bureau or dress- er for the woman and a chiffonier with glass for the man, and also two chairs and a table. In both these rooms scat- ter rugs or larger ones would be needed, and hflmt" curtains for the win- dows -would be desirable. (W‘hh 1930.) " FEATURES. BEDTIME STORIE Bowser Interferes. With danger present it is clear ‘Tis friendship’s right to interfere. —Bowser the Hound. Flip the Terrier was so excited that it seemed to Bowser the Hound as if Flip would turn himself inside out. You see, Flip was having a new expe- rience. Green Forest a queer fellow. Anyway, it was a queer fellow to Flip. Bowser the Hound saw nothing queer. He merely saw an old acquaintance. You see, that queer fellow really was Prickly Porky the Porcupine. However, Flip had never seen him be- fore and hadn't even heard of him. He never had seen any one at all like ickly Porky. You see, there is no one else who is at all like Prickly Porky. Just now Prickly Porky had his head under a log. The thousand little spears, which you know are called quills, were standing out in all directions. Flip thought these quills were simply stiff hairs. He thought them very funny hairs, but hairs just the same. Flip also Lhought that because Prickly Porky had his head under a log, he thought himself hidden. Now, Flip was getting braver and braver. He could see no reason why he shouldn’t jump right on the back of Prickly Porky and seize him by the back of his neck. Flip is a very cour- ageous little dog. With Bowser look- ing on, he wanted to show how very brave he was. He wanted to show that he wasn't afraid, even if Prickly Pork{ was such a big fellow. He ran bacl and forth from side to side, barkin, at Prickly Porky, but keeping a shor distance from him. As Prickly Porky did not move, Flip gradually drew nearer. His courage was growing every instant. Bowser stood watching him. Flip didn't notice how closely Bowser was watching him. At last Flip made up his mind to at- tack Prickly Porky. His bark changed to a snarl, and he started a rush at Prickly Porky. Something happened! Something hit Flip so hard that it knocked him right over on his back at some little distance away. It was so unexpected that it frightened Flip more than it hurt him and he yelped right out. That something that had hit him was Bowser the Hound. When Flip discovered this, he lost his tem- ger completely. “What do you mean y that?” he snarled. “I mean,” replied Bowser good-na- He had found over in the| BY THORNTON W.

I should say not!" “Then what do you want to interfe for? Are you afraid of him?” de- manded Flip. | “Yes,” replied Bowser quite frankly. “Yes, I'm afraid of him. Would you attack Jimmy Skunk if you should merelzi L8 bered the experience he p remembered the ce had had with Jimmy Skunk. “No,” he replied promptly. “When I meet Jimmy Skunk, I give him the path.” “Well,” replied Bowser dryly, “when YOU SEE, THAT QUEER FELLOW REALLY WAS PRICKLY PORKY THE PORCUPINE. you meet this fellow, you'd better do the same thing. This is Prickly Porky the Porcupine. I think I would rather ;socl;le Jimmy Skunk than Prickly rky.” Flip's eyes opened very wide. In his surprise he quite forgot that he was angry with Bowser by interfering. “Why,” said he, “I don’t see anything to be afraid of in that fellow. He is the slowest-moving, stupidest-looking fellow I ever saw.” “Sometimes it isn't wise to judge others by their looks,” ‘Bowser. “You leave Prickly Porky alone, or you will be the sorriest dog that ever vis- ited the Green Forest.

(2) The ideal weight for your age and height is between 125 and 135 pounds. You are nearly 20 pounds undeweight and I would advise you to consult your physiclan to see if you have any symptoms that may indicate disease. It is a serious matter for a girl of your age to be so much under- weight. Try to build up your weight to as near normal as possible. Ask your doctor if cod-liver oil will help you. Drink plenty of milk and eat l"l:ux‘lshiling foods. ]l‘!sgllll be pleased mail you my leaflet on gainin, weight, which gives several menu nu! gestions that will help you. Inclose & self-addressed, stamped envelope for mailing. See that you have sufficient sleep and rest every night. Spend an hour or more in the fresh air and sun- shine each day. Learn to relax before and after eating. See that you masti- cate your food properly so that your stomach can digest it thoroughly. It it useless to eat a great deal of nourish- ing food if it is not digested and assim- llated properly. Avoid constipation. Drink from six to eight glasses of water between meals. (3) Blackheads are obstructed ofl glands (pores). They need friction, stimulation, softening and afterward refining. At bedtime after washing the face with warm water and a mild soap, wring out a Turkish face cloth and hold it over the parts affected. After steaming the skin for several minutes, cover your fingers with sterilized gauze and press out the blackheads, but do not bruise the skin. After pressing out the ripe blackheads, bathe the skin with hot boric-acid solution, which is made by dissolving one teaspoonful of boric-acid powder in one pint of boiling . Allow it _to cool so as not to burn the skin. Blot the skin dry and apply a little of the following salve and leave it on overnight: One teaspoonful precipitated sulphur, 2 teaspoonfuls powdered starch, 2 teaspoonfuls pow- dered zinc oxide, 4 teaspoonfuls petro- latum. Mix to a smooth salve. This will soften the stubborn blackheads. In the morning wash the face with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse in cooler water and finally with cold water. Dry the skin with Turkish towel, using a little friction to stimu- late the circulation of the skin. Pat on & soothing cold cream and massage the face for a few seconds, then wipe off and pat on a mild astringent such as witch-hazel and finish the make-up. Blackheads should be treated regularly and removed from the skin, as they are apt to become infected and cause pimples. Antiseptic treatments re- garding cleansing the skin, as given above, should be observed to prevent in- fection. (4) Freckles may be bleached to a certain extent, but it is impossible to remove them from some skins. Do not use undiluted peroxide on them, use gm part peroxide to three parts witch- azel. (5) The face should be given a thorough massage or speclal treatment at least once a week or every 10 days. A few minutes’ massage every night with a reliable cream is very helpful and keeps the skin smooth and the muscles irm and supple.
