w OMAN’S PAGE. Short Wraps for Warm Months BY MARY MARSHALL, One of the inevitable results of the long evening gown is the short evening wrap. The longer the dress the shorter the coat seems to be a rule of the season, for it is only for sports or travel wear that full-length coats are worn— and then with dresses that are com- paratively short. ‘The experiment of long coats for evening wear was tried by the dress- makers. They were worn by a few devotees of fashion in Paris, but rarely eeen in this country—-and now on both sides of the Atlantic the short wrap seems to be the rule for evening. For the warmer months the de- cidedly short wrap will b2 chosen, which may be made specially to go ‘THIS TYPE OF SHORT WRAP MADE OF LIGHT-WEIGHT VELVET, TAFFETA OR SILK CREPE IS AP- PROPRIATE FOR EVENING WEAR IN WARMER WEATHER. 1th sl with the ~ individual which it is to be worn, or may be chosen in some neutral or dark color | that will harmonize with a number of | evening dresses.

For the throat, fairly gentle massage with a nourishing cold cream, and if the skin is rather dry, or very wrin- kled, the cream should be left on and the throat bandaged with oiled silk, covered with strips of cotton. This is merely to keep the cream from rubbing off. The bandage should be loose, for the oiled silk otherwise will make the | skin heat and perspire.

Peter Page, jr., was about 21 months old. Nancy was trving to get him to drink his milk from a cup. He cried for his bottle. First, in attempting to solve the problem she had his father drink milk from his own cup, making 8 to-do over his pleasure. The baby, who was & born mimic, like most chil- dren, would lift his cup and drink his milk with enjoyment. That worked when father was home. But when it eame time for the milk served before afternoon nap the story was quite dif- ferent. He cried and cried, pushed the cup out of his way and carried on generally. Nancy sat herself down to reason out the why and wherefore of his actions. She decided that he liked the com- panionship of the familiar bottle. She bought some straws and let him suck his orange juice. tomato juice, ‘water and the milk around his cereal. Then she bought some attractive cups and let him play with them, _;Rluhinl them around in the water. is gave him a new association with cups. At lunch one day she brought out the cups just about the time that he had been playing with the straws. It ‘was almost a foregone conclusion that he would put the straw into the cup which this time held milk, Then at nap time Nancy put a cuddly new dog on his pillow.

In an earlier, more innocent age, our forefathers were easily satisfled with flowers. If one reads over the lists of the blossoms that lifted up their small, prim faces in Colonial gardens, it is amazing with what modest blooms Co- lonial dames were once content. The reason for this, presumably, was that | not having the modern rose or dahlia, chrysanthemum or sweet pea, which are all hybrids from the wonder-working bands of plant breeders, they did not miss them and the little flowers they tended reminded them of the old country and were comforting in the new. Now in the gardens begin to push up two old favorites of just this elass, and I am as truly glad to see them as they open out in the chill, uncertain airs of early Spring as the most regal lilies of Summer. Star-of-Bethlehem looks like a white, six-pointed Star fallen to the earth, so close to the ground and its bulb it blooms. And grape-hyacinth is hyacinthine in form and color, but These two little cousin species of the enchanting lily family are natives of the Mediterranean world, but at some dis- ventions and .restraints of garden life spread abroad, happy as children hooky- ing from school, straying over the Maryland hills. I have often, between Baltimore and Washington, picked handfuls of Star-of-Bethlehem, though I know that it will swiftly close, never to reopen. And as for grape-hyacinth, home calls, most picturesauely, “blue- bottles,” I gather it each year from a vacant lot north of Washington. where it grows abundantly, though it, too, will make but a humble showing in a little vase. But it is sweet and remi- niscent just to smell again that odor that one writer says is like the perfume of a baby's mouth, but to me is that most piquant of all combinations in art or nature—at once ‘sweet ant bitter.

CRAIG, April 5, 1841 —This eu;lu in mourn- ing today for President Harrison, who died yesterday—only 31 days after his inauguration. Vice President Tyler is expected to take the oath of office and formally assume the duties of President tomorrow. ‘The untimely death of President Wil- liam Henry Harrison has blighted the hopes of the victorious and enthusiastic Whigs, many of whom feel today that Mr. Tyler is out of sympathy with many of the leaders of the party. It is a severe blow to the party after the fervid Clmpllfl:\ and an inaugural ceremony Wwhich many respects surpassed any other in the history of the country. ‘The presidential campaign of last Summer and Fall throughout the coun- try and in the District of Columbla was more_exciting than any that preceded it. ‘The victory of Harrison and Tyler, the Whig candidates, was overwhelming. All during the campaign political feeling ran high in this city. On Center Market juare a log cabin was erected by the Whigs as an emblem of their party leader. The “log cabin and hard cider campaign,” as it was called, will doubt- less long be rembmbered in this city as throughout the country. Whigs marched through the streets of Washington with their shouts of “Tippecanoe and Tyler 100,” and their songs, just as they did in the other citles of the land. Feeling against the Democratic administration of President Van Buren ran high here. The Whigs felt that the District had not been given a square deal by the Federal Govern- ment durnig the last 12 years of Demo- cratic rule. This was vigorously denied by the Democrats. ‘The inaugural ceremonies of a month ago are still fresh in the minds of ‘Washingtonians. For the first time an “Inaugural committee” of citizens of this city was named as the result of a STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY pub'ic meeting called by authority of a |~ conference of Whigs in their log cabin on Market Square. No inaugural parade ever before passed over such a long route as that for President Harrison a month ago. It formed near the city hall and marched west by way of E, Eleventh and F streets to Fifteenth street and thence eastward to the Capitol on Pennsylvania avenue. President Harrison took his place in line on horseback when the parade passed the home of Mayor W. W. Seaton on E street between Seventh and Eighth streets, where he spent the few days before his inauguration.

FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE. Cook Veal Thoroughly. Veal should be well and thoroughly cooked to the wholesome. Every one, it seems to me, ought to know that. Since this is so, there is no special advantage in getting the so-called choicer cuts of veal. If veal cutlets and veal chops are high, then don’t get them. All veal is tender and no veal should be served that has simply been broiled. So get the cheaper cuts and make some one of the many interesting dishes in which veal is simmered for some time to make sure of perfect cooking. To be sure, veal cutlets and veal chops are delicious. If you do use them, then be sure that they are well cooked. They may be steamed beforehand if like. Here is a good and inexpensive dish of veal—veal savory. Take two pounds of lean veal, half a pint of tomato sauce, two carrots, one turnip, two onions, two or three sticks of celery, caulifiower and potatoes. Prepare the carrots, onions, turnip and celery and cut them in small pieces. Put them in the bottorn of a large saucepan and just barely cover them with water. B to the boil, then carefully lay the piece of veal on top: do not let this sink into the water at all, as it is to cook by steam only. Cover tightly and cook gently for two to two and a half hours. A little more boiling water may be needed at interyals. While it is cooking see to the cauliflower and potatoes—also make some tomato sauce To serve, lift the veal on a hot dish, cover with the sauce and garnish with neat pieces of caulifiower; serve the mashed potatoes separately. The car- rots, turnips, etc, may be used for soup. My Neighbor Says: Mats made by gluing together, back to back, two pieces of lin- oleum about 20 by 30 inches, should be found in every kitchen.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX.—Here is a problem that my flance and I don't seem able to solve, and we ask you to help us: I work and have been saving a part of my salary. My sweetheart says that when we get married, if we buy a house, I should pay for half of it and | he the other half because he has paid for all of the shows, dinners and enter- | tainments during the time we have been engaged, while I didn't put out a cent | on them. He says that if there should be a divorce, if he had paid for everything | he would lose part of it, while I would lose nothing, but get part of his money. ! He doesn’t realize that it is harder for a girl to make a living and save than it is for a man because she doesn't get as good a salary. So now, Miss Dix, which one of us is right? M I 8. Well, I'll confess that the modern young man, with his modern Jove-making, is too much for me. 1 shouldn't like a sweetheart who counted the cost of every mouthful of food he bought for me and every movie ticket he paid for. I should want him to feel that the pleasure of my society and the joy he had in my love was ample compensation for anything he spent upon me, and that he himself got a joy out of giving me treats and seeing me happy. And if I were you I would think a long time, and then some, about marrying | a youth who was so close-fisted that not even love could pry his fingers open. Believe me, he will make the sort of husband who will begrudge you your food | and clothes, and he will be always asking you what you did with that quarter | he gave you week before last. No woman’s lot is so little enviable as that of | the wife of a stingy man. | Perhaps in strict justice you should pay your half of the house when you: buy it, as you have some money put aside, but see to it, if you do, that the deed is made out in your name as well as your husband’s, for inasmuch as he doesn't trust vou, you are wise not to trust him. Amd, anyway, he is making your marriage a financlal partnership instead of a sentimental one, so go to it on a business basis. And, as he is so forward-looking that he is contemplating a possible divorce you had as well arrange the details of that also before marriage and know what alimony he proposes to pay, if any. But it is a sad thing for two young pecple to be putting a price ta?)on love! O DOROTHY DIX.

Studio-divans are the last word in lounges for living rooms. They hark back to old Persian days when a divan ‘was a long mattress seat on the floor or | raised on a frame or stand, and having | cushions placed along the back to lean against. It would appear that the cushions were necessary to the Persian divan. In thejrevival of this article of furniture during the middle of the nine- teenth century, divans with similar the studio-divan, yet it lends itself ad- mirably to the much-needed purpose of an extra sleeping place if one's hous- ing quarters are limited.

Although today studio divans are sold minus the cushions, they should not be divorced, but bought as needed accessories. ‘The studio-divans of today are luxu- rious overstuffed pieces of furniture with sturdy, if short, legs, straight or cabriole shaped and often handsomely carved. They should not be confused with the one-time box-couches which rested plumb against the floor. These were what the term implies, boxes with hinged overstuffed spring tops. Nor are the modern divans cots with mattresses and cushions along the wall, although it is true they have no arms and require cushions. ‘The nearest thing to a studio-divan is an overstuffed day bed minus am g; namental ends corresponding head and foot board of & bed.

Sometimes a woman whose complex- fon is without a flaw, and whose hair is lovely and luxurious, falls far short of being attractive. When analyzing her claims to loveliness one might won- der just why she fsn't attractive; her | e, figure may have perfect measurements, her teeth be white and even, and yet there is something lacking. That some- thing is poise. Lack of this important quality will do more to detract from one's charm than anything else, On the contrary, it isn't difficult to think of an acquaintance who may be considered charming and lovely. Yet if one stops to analyze her claims to beauty it is perhaps discovered that her nose is perhaps far from perfect, her figure a little too thin or maybe too ample, and even her complexion not above reproach. But somehow she has captured poise, and under any circum- stances or in any place she seems to be in complete command of herself. She doesn't shrink as a result of an inferi- ority complex, nor does she maker her- self distasteful because of the opposite complex. If poise is so important, it might be well to consider the elements which go to make up this enviable quality. Sev- eral well known women were asked to what they might attribute their poise. One said that she thought it came from self-forgetfulness. “If I think of others present and refuse to think of myself, 1 never need to worry about poise,” was her comment, which is certainly worthy of consideration. But perhaps the majority of fair ones to whom this question was put thought that poise was largely & matter of clothes. As several said, “When I know I am correctly dressed I feel that my poise need cause me no concern, as it comes from the consciousness that I am dressed as I should be.” Undoubtedly there is much truth in this statement, but it goes far deeper than being merely dressed correctly for BEDTIME STORIE Mrs. Quack Succeeds.

Her clotk.es may be very plain and sim- / £ ple, but, of course, they must be in good taste and suited to the occasion, for no one could imagine a woman who played golf in an afternoon dress or attended a formal party in sports clothes being one who was noted for her poise. Summing up the answers given by all the women questioned, the requisites for poise are: Self-forgetfulness, vibrant health, good grooming, suitable clothes and correct posture. These qualities are almost sure to result in a poise which is attractive, no matter how ungenerous nature may have been in the dispensa- tion of perfect features, colorful eyes, hair of gold and all the other things which are usually considered to be ab- solutely certain claims to loveliness, (Copyright, 1930.)
