WOMAN'’S PAGE. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, Improving Rough Elbows. It takes very little to mar a woman's beauty. Sometimes it is a of strag- ;un. hair which makes the whole effect all just short of being attractive. Or it may be neglected fingernalls or ill- kept hands, a slovenly carriage or even such a seemingly unimportant thing as elbows which have become rough and horny in appearance. Perhaps it is be- cause she wears long sleeves a great deal that milday has been careless about the grooming of her elbow., but when donning her evening gown or sleeveless sports dress she realizes that she can- not possibly look her best unless her elbows are as soft and white as the rest of her arm. There are wonderful possibilities for beauty in such a simple agent as & lemon, and we will again call upon this versatile fruit when elbows appear rough and unattractive. Cut a lemon in half and squeeze out most of the juice, but not all of it. Now take these the skin) in sort of a cap effect. A cloth may be wraj around each el- bow to these lemon caps in posi- ese remain on for several minutes. Remove the lemons and mas- sage the elbow with an almond food cream. The following makes a one: One ounce oll of sweet almonds, two ounces olive oil, one-half ounce cologne water, five drops fl.mm tincture of benzoin, fifteen drops sandalwood oil. Mix the cologne with the oils gradually. Add the sandalwood oil and benzoin drop by drop. Shake well. In massaging the elbow place the thumb of one d in the inside joint opposite the elbow and execute a cir- cular massage with the first two fingers |over the bent elbow. After the mas- sage wipe off the cream and rub with a piece of ice. Pat on a little witch- hazel and powder lightly. Sometimes it is failure to give them a thorough washing with soap and warm water that makes elbows unat- tractive. The should be scrubbed vigor- osly with soap and water every night. Then if they have a tendency to be rough, rub them well with warm oil or 3 us amount of cold cream. This will keep them soft. The following skin lotion applied to the lebows twice a day is very good when they have become rough and coarse: Two ounces orange-flower wa- ter, two drams glycerin, four drams cologne water, one teaspoonful boric acld, six ounces rosewater. Shake well and apply to the elbows twice a day A good time to apply it is after the cleansing with soap and water and the massage with oil or cream. In wearing sleeveless frocks it must not be forgotten that elbows, too, come in for their share of make-up.

April Fool Party for Children BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. An April fool party is the delight of youngsters and a safety valve for their pent-up spirits. If a mother suggests giving her children such a party pro- vided they keep their pranks until the time set, she will do much for the com- fort of the community. The one giving the entertainment should take the other mothers into her confidence and sug- gnn that each one help by promising er child acceptance of the invitation if he (or she) will also refrain ‘from playing pranks until the appointed time. The entertainment should be one of , some of them funny, some surprising and some pretty.

For several ‘weeks it held the center of the stage and was used by my two children nearly every minute they spent in the house. Pirst of all, Jack had an automobile show. From all the old magazines he could gather together he cut out pic- tures of cars and then tacked them up on his board, and after it was all arranged he called in his friends to view it and I served light refreshments for them.

According to the cables, the prime minister of Turkey has called upon the ladies of that land to start economiz- ing by renouncing Parisian perfumes and silks. This news will startle the folks who have always thought of Turk- ish women as wearing flowered kimonos and veils. We had no idea that the rmn.ly“ from the Dardanelles were so Yes, this is the report from Angora, where the cats and rugs come from. The big idea is to have them clothe themselves in Turkish fabrics and be- deck their locks with the flowers that bloom on the Anatolian Mountains. They don't want their veiled beauties to tog out like movie stars. But it is not only in the boudoir, but all over the place that the prime minis- ter, or pasha, wants to start economy so that Turkey can pay its war debt. The pasha person thinks that, once the ladies of the land have ca; their finery, the men of the festive fez may xfliir;duced to indulge in some Scotch This is a new application of the prin- ciple, “the women first.” Since they are the first to be saved in time of ca- tastrophe, if that is the rule over there among the Turks, they should be the first to save the nation from bank- ruptcy. The Turks would reason that way. Now, is this chivalry or psychology? On the side of chivalry, you can always size up a nation by the way it treats its woman folks. When the race lived in caves, courtship was carried on by means of the club, and those who were won in such petting parties were dolled up in the skins of wild beasts subdued by similar means. ‘The dawn of civilization saw a_wom- an's face in the bright sun disk. It was she who silently urged man to tidy up the place and build her a Babylon or Rome. The kind of civilization is such as man imagines a woman would like to have. Man may misss the point once in a while, but in general he knows how to please woman. That's the chivalry of it. On the psychological side, we realize that men take their cue from women in either French luxury or Scotch econ- omy. When there are oodles of money, men will lavish it on the dolls who take them shopping. But when dollar bills are as scarce as lettuce leaves in January, man wants woman to locate the 5 and 10 cent stores. At any rate, that's the Turkish idea of “the women first.” We have been good spenders of late both in Turkey and the United States. Lots of the money has gone into silk hosiery. It might be a good idea to see whether that sock couldn’t make a good savings bank.

La Follettism has at- tracted him since early youth—“Old Bob” has always been the nearest ap- proach to his political ideal. While his father lived the son was his confidant. He managed all of his political campaigns, substituted for him as a speaker, looked after the mass of details that every Representative finds on_his hands. By some queer quirk of fate young Kvale had just completed an extensive survey of father’s district before the latter died. He had visited every important center, canvassed the needs of his constituents and attended to them in Washington when the news of his father's death reached him.

We are doing good work in physical hygiene. Our children are healthier, have less illness, more actual health than ever before. We have about con- quered diphtheria. If we can succeed in giving all children preventive treatment we need fear that disease no longer as a dread scourge. We almost have it under control. Malnutrition grows less as mothers learn more and more about children’s diet. Childish diseases grow fewer as mothers learn more about physical hygiene of child- hood. Now for the very, very important next step. We have to work hard to teach mental hygiene. Nothing a child does is uninfluenced The mother’s thought in- | by thought. fluences her children. Try it for your- self. 1f you have been feeling cross: if your words have been sharp, your actions abrupt, no smiles, no gentle words, the children are behaving in accordance with your thought. They are afraid, unce: and unhappy. ‘They will do wrong things, each accord- ing to his nature. Take a new thought. Think, “I am a thought of the Infinite. I reflect some of the perfection of the Infinite. Beauty and truth and love are expres- sions of perfection. That is what I would see in my own life, in the lives of my children.” Think along that course for a few seconds. Let the lines on your face relax, loosen your tense shoulders, smile—and watch the children. Imme- diately they relax and their whole bein is illuminated. Now they are goos children. It is necessary for the very first step in mental hygiene treatment for the | mother to think right. No unlovely thought, no jealousy, no fear, no grudg- ing, is to enter. If such a thought creep up, push it out with the other one, perfection, love and truth and beauty, because we are all thoughts of the Infinite mind, and therefore must reflect some of its perfection. You can- not think good thoughts without reflect- ing strength and courage and faith upon the minds of the children, and when they feel that influence upon them power rises within their bodies and they do better. Every thought fathers an action. You cannot avoid that law. Make the thought a good one and action reflects the 3 ‘When a child shows fear, think cour- age. Study the child to find the cause | Visits. of the fear and put courage in its stead. If the child says he is ill, care for him and keep thinking health. Keep look- ing forward to health. When a child eves because of some failure, think success for him. Gently show him how to succeed. Show him where his power lies (every one has some), and pour out encouragement until he rises to try once more. And when you can't see the way clear, when no helpful thought rises that your cold reason does not promptly down, take refuge in faith. We are all children of the Infinite, and if we claim good, good will come. This is a little hint of mental hygiene. Perhaps you know it by another name. It is quite as effective by any name you choose to give it. The point is—are you practicing ‘what you know? (Copyright, 1930.) JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

Earl of Crawford and the Ghost of Mrs. Home. BY J. P. GLASS. “HE THEN SAW NEAR THE FOOT OF THE SOFA THE FIGURE OF A ggm. HER SIDE TURNED TOWARD HIM AND HER FACE TOWARD I confess that it is impossible for me to belleve all that I read about Daniel Douglas Home, that striking character of Scottish ancestrty who be- gan his mediumistic career as a youth in this country and who later astounded and mystified London. - Particularly do his feats of levitation Seem incredible. I can visualize, but I cannot credit, for instance, a man suspended without support several feet outside of a window five stories above the ground. Yet reputable people have sald that Home accomplished tI feat. It must have been uncomfortable to spend much time in the company of a person who did such unnatural stunts, and strange things seemed always to be hoppening when folks were in his com- pany. For one thing, his dead wife kept coming back to earth to pay him . She was apt to reveal herself to others than her husband. There was that eery and awesome oc- casion when she appeared to James Ludovic Lindsay, the Earl of Crawford, statesman and scientist. This gentle- man has related in utter sincerity that he saw what appeared to be the ghost of the former Mrs. Home. On a certain evening Crawford had missed the last train at the Crystal Palace in London. He and Home were good friends, so he got a place for the night in the medium's lodgings. He slept on a sofa in Home's bed room. eir beds stood at right' angles to each other and 12 feet apart. It is essential to understand this, The earl was just dosing off to sleep when this strange experience began. He felt his pillow slipping from under his head. He could discern what he thought was & hand beneath it, pulling it away. ‘This action ceased. He then saw near the foot of the sofa the figure of & woman, her side turned toward him and he: face toward Home. The room was ::uhlm}temy mfim: -ndbhe could ler features pe: .

Upon this the figure of the wom faded away. But Crawford was not done with strange happenings. Looking down, he saw on his knee a steady flame of fire which he has described as about 9 inches high. He passed his hand through the middle of the flame, but it burned on undiminished, both above and below. His hand was not hurt. He looked at Home, who turned in his bed. m‘l:,!ord shivered. His host's eyes were aglow with a strange light, xlv;nl the spectator a most dln[relghle feeling. ‘The light left his knee, crossed the room at a height of about 4 feet, passed into Home's settled on his head and went out. Crawford waited. Nothing more hap- g:ned‘ He puzsled over these strange ippenings, recalling again the face of the unearthly visitor. He noted that there were no curtains, blinds or shut- ters over the windows: that the ground outside was covered with snow, which aided the rays of a tht moon, and that these things had the room of obscyrity. He could not have peel as well as the Rum- been dreaming, he felt. After a time he fell asleep. ‘The next morning, before he went into the city, he was looking through some photographs in Home's living room. On picking up one he recognized at once the face of the woman he had seen in the night. “Who 1is this?” he asked Home's housekeeper. “That was Mrs. Home,” she replied. Crawford started inwardly. Even if his experience of the night had been only & dream, it was uncanny that the lady of the vision should be identical with a photograph of Mrs. Home. He had never seen either Mrs. Home or her picture. However, he did not believe that he had been dreaming. ‘Woman Shylocks in Belfact. ‘Woman money enders have bedome a social evil in Belfast, Ireland.
