WOMAN'S PAGE. BY MARY In days gone by when queens’ or kings' favorites set court fashions which in their turn set the fashions for wom- en generally, in those good-bad old days. the new mode was occasionally favor- @ble to the stout, the plump and the t 'THIS BABY FROCK FOR THE SUB- DEB IS MADE OF FLOWERED CHIFFON WITH PUFFED SLEEVES, FULL SKIRT, HIGH WAISTLINE AND SASH BOW AT THE BACK. well rounded. The influential queen or favorite might with the passing of years add a few pounds to her weight and a few inches to her waist, to cover which she might choose fuller sleeves and more bouffant skirts. Or her ankles might lose their youthful slenderness, in which case she might set the fashion Last Word in Youthful Dresses MARSHALL, the least concern for queens. And if there is one influence that rules fashion it is the spirit of eternal youth. Longer skirts come. into favor, but they are no more designed to hide slender, youthful ankles than the short skirts they re- placed, and fuller skirts do no more to hide stodgy proportions than the straight, scant skirts of other years. One of the newest types of dress that we hear talked about is the baby dress— the last word in youthfulness. It is made with rather full, slightly flaring skirt and a raised waistline defined by a narrow belt or ribbon girdle. The short, puffed sleeves and rounded neck are amazingly becoming to the younger girls, but just the reverse to the woman of maturer years. This week’s circular gives designs for a number of nautical emblems which are embroldered in red, white or blue, on the sleeves or dickies of smart middy blouses or may be used on marine blue middy jackets. If you would like a copy of thl; circular send your stamped, self- addressed envelope to Mary Marshall, care of The Star, and it will be for- warded to you.

BY EDNA KENT FORBES Epsom Salts. I wonder whether you realize what 8 very useful preparation for health and beauty Epsom salts can be. First of all, the salts are unequaled as a water softener. Soap will lather freely in the hardest kind of bath water if a handful of salts has been added first. Also as a method for opening the pores of the skin, draining out the uric acid poisoning and even ordinary dirt, these salts are unequaled. Best of all, perhaps, is a salts facial rejuvenation treatment. First cleanse your skin with cream or oil, wiping this off on a tissue napkin. Put on a sec- ond coating of cream, let it stay a minute while you fill a bowl with very warm water, dissolving into it two ta- blespoonfuls of Epsom salts. Have a bowl nearby containing cold water and THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE. Typical Street Frock.

BY D. O. PEATTIE. All through March, not to say on every warm day of February, the bird lovers have been raking the treetops with their fleld glasses, encouraging each other with joyful cries over robins and grackles, phoebes and barn swallows. But the g!cklnu were really slim, and not till the last week in March or the first in April does the sport begin. Almost on the 1st of April, no matter what the weather, a few cliff swallows and tree swallows arrive. The brown thrasher, ruby-crowned kinglet and hermit thrush are usually only a day or two behind. Before the end of April every common bird in the District will have arrived except the yellow-billed and black-billed cuckoos, which do not come till May. Of the April arrivals, al- most all are going to stay the Summer, in greater or less numbers, and there will be time, all through May and June, to follow them through song and mating and nesting. There are a few specles (and they al- ways seem to me to take therefrom a special elusive charm) that linger only a few weeks, sometimes only a few hours, Frequently 1 see the black- throated, green warbler just once. So far as I am concerned his transient period lasts about five minutes, and, often as not, I hear a bar of his song while T am still abed. By after-break- fast time he has winged on. Quite the opposite another migrant. Master Towhee, from the 1st of April, begins noisily to chirrup; by the mid- dle of the month (dawn coming earlier each day) he has succeeded in breaking up my sleep, and from then till June he will take possession of my garden every morning, arouse me Wwith his a-brill- trill-trill, and every afternoon bob about in the blueberry bushes just coming into flower, repeating & chee-wink, chee- wink, in that tone of enjoying his com- | plaints which habitual grumblers use. A transient, too, to be seen mow or never is the least flycatcher, who is more least than fiycatcher so far as I have ever observed, for he keeps out of my sight most years, but the white- crowned sparrow is not rare and still less so the hermit thrush. Even the ruby-crowned kinglet, who sounds like one of those birds you read about but never see, is really plentiful for a few days In early April, and every year his cail lures me out some morning before breakfast, and there, with the punctual- ity of a boy at the dinner table he sits in the selfsame tree. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. Now, in order to be new and up-to- date, it is necessary to be a bit old- fashioned. That is, if you are fortu- nate neough to have an old-time earth- enware cooky jar, you are really mod- ern, for all that is necessary is to have a few “splashy” flowers painted on it, and there you are—the last word in new-old cooky jars. And the same thing is true of the good, old-time bean crock. It may have been brown and uninteresting as far as its appearance was concerned, but now, by the addition of a few gay flowers or conventional designs, it serves as a Spring flower container and holds important place in the living room- spot in which it was never before a! lowed to set foot. In the illustration are shown two cooky jars and a bean crock decorated and ready for use in the living room, sun_parlor, porch or terrace—waiting anxiously to be of service in the hot Summer days.

I'm so thrilled!” Which of L4 Details Theape Ilgstnku 0,’0 t l x CEmns 0 You ‘ommon Make? n Husbands WHAT are the 10 greatest mistakes that men make in marriage? I think | they are these: First. Marrying before they are ready to marry. Marrying when they are too young. Marrying before they have developed enough to know what they are going to be themselves, and what kind of wife they are going to want when they | are mature men. The girl that a boy picks out for a wife in his teens, or his | ;lrzly 20s, is practically never the one he would choose for a wife when he: 8 or 30. | Marrying before they are financially able to support a family. It takes the | stuff of which heroes are made to enable a man to keep sweet-tempered and | serene, and in love with his wife and glad he mairied her, when he is swamped | with bills and torn with anxiety and when he has to go shabby and skimp on his lunches ana crucify every taste, and know that marriage is responsible for all of his miseries. The second mistake men make mn marriage is in not using common, ordinary, human intelligence in picking out their wives. There would be very few unhappy riages if men used a tithe of the care in marrying that they do in buying an automobile. . | Every day we see poor men marrying extravagant girls, clever men marrying fools, domestic men marrying girls who can't boil water without scorching it, thrifty men marrying girls who are spenders. The third mistake that men make in marriage is in not training their wives ' to be what they want them to be. When the ignorant little new wife turns out to be just & mere woman iustead of a pin-feathered angel; when she runs up ex- travagant bills and serves meals that would kill an ostrich, husband doesn't set about teaching her how to be the helpmate he wants. He justs gets grumpy and naggy, and throws up his hands and calls marriage a total loss. 1 ‘This is a fatal mistake on his part because when the average girl gets mar- | rled she is not only young enough to be pliable, but she is very much in love and her husband could make her over into any thing he desired. The fourth mistake is in not studying their wives and learning how to handle them without friction. It is & curlous thing that & man can be married to & woman for 40 years and be with her every day of all that time without ever getting acquainted with her, or having the slightest idea of what she really thinks, or how she will react to any situation, i ‘The fifth mistake is in not going 50-50 with their wives. A woman feels that | she puts jusi as much into the matrimonial partnership as the man does, and that she is entitled to get just as much out of it. She resents having to go to | her husband like a beggar for the money she earns by her own labor. DOROTHY DIX. (To Be Continued.) (Copyright, 1930.) Cheese Souffle. Macedoine Salad. !
