WOoM AN’S PAGE._ May Day Parties for Young and Old BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. May “Lumn are always out-of- doors affairs or those simulating them that are held indoors. This is follow- ing the ancient custom of Ma revelries when dancing around a Ma; pole, jaunts into the woods in searc! of a suitable tree from which to make the pole, the gathering of flowers and branches of trees and refreshments on the greensward or in the forests were the outstanding features. As will be seen, the whole scheme is for rural, open-air entertainment. This sho ze emphasized in present-day festivi- les. Suggestions for three different styles ©of May day parties are given today. ‘These can be elaborated, some features combined or used just as they are. The first is a May day hike. nearby park or woodland, Witk youny ea) park or wi 5 young children making ur the gfiy. or, when for older persons, it can be a walk over hill and dale to some spot or through some beautiful stretch of country.

For the older group, substantial lunches should be fpmvlel.ud, ‘with enough fruit and extras for left-overs to sat- isfy hungry appetites later in the after- nopn on the return trip before they reach home, where hearty evening day lawn parties are flexible affairs. They can be or elab- orate, large or small, private or for clubs, church festivals, etc., at which money THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN NN IS NN /L) T NN G 2SSV TSTSES AN NN N NHN Youthll Tailored Type.

In some of the country where straw- berries are ripe these parties go under the name of strawberry festivals. The supper is the main feature and the ber- ries are served in all sorts of ways in which the fresh fruit can be used. If there is a flagpole on the grounds it can become a tempo: Maypole, sup- lied with streamers for intertwining the May dance of this era, or it can be ornamented with garlands of flow- for the space about it which is allotted for dancing to the tune of an orchestra. A May basket party is the third idea to be given. Supply the company with colored tissue plge'r, small paper boxes, not necessarily the same size or shape; library paste and scissors. Each player makes an ornamental May basket. The two of identical shape or of identical numbers determine partners. Only the hastess -should know how the baskets are numbered, if this is the scheme de- cided upon for matching for partners, 80 that there can be no planning ahead. A flower hunt follows. The blossoms should be strewn on the lawn, or floors if the party is indoors. The couple having the greatest variety of blos- soms should be arded a prize. This is better than having the greatest num- ber of flowers, for it is a little more difficult and is not hackneyed. Serve refreshments from gayly decorated bas- kets, Flowers and plants are the right sort, of prizes to give and also the cor- rect decorations for indoor parties. The plants and shrubs that are already abloom will make gardens and lawns beautiful if the party is out-of-doors. (Copyright, 1930.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRIL Summer Camp. ‘The Summer months should not be wasted. The child who has attended school for 10 months needs a change of work, not a period of idleness. Idle- is unhealthy. The natural state of childhood is activity. Growth is constant, although it is rhythmic—now slow, now fast and furious, now dying down to a steady glowing interest. But at rest? No, ‘The most earnest child needs change of work. A steady diet of history, geography, arithmetic, ‘There must be variety, change, strangeness, new efforts at adjustments, to create rare growth. And rare growth in each of us, very strongly in all children, the desire for contacts with nature. D AT Tl of each sp!

One mother says— When Patsy was recovering from an {liness she teased to go on a picnic, but as I did not think she was quite equal to such a jaunt, we decided to have an indoor picnic. We spread a blanket on the floor, used the goldfish bowl for the lake and the house plants for a forest. Dad carried in the “eats” in a picnic basket, and we used paper plates and tin cups and had real picnic food. We all sat on the floor to eat and then told stories just as we do on real picnics. Now we often have picnics on rainy days and we let our imagi- nations run riot in the preparation of these indoor festivities. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. A bey window, even though it be a small one, really lends a great deal of charm to the room of an early style of lurchltecture, especially if the celling is ow. g Whether to use glass curtains and overdraperies or only one style of cur- tain is a matter of personal taste, but it should be determined to a certain de- frze by the position of the room. If it looks out upon a fascinating bit of scenery, it would be too bad to conceal the view; but if it is an apartment din- ing room which is next to a brick wall, then glass curtains would be necessary. The room shown here has woodwork (including the wainscoting) finished in a light shade of green, and the walls are treated with a green-ground paper having a small boutiuet design in deemr green, apricot, yellow and violet, the apricot predominating. The window treatment is & simple one of shirred valance and one pair of side - draperies (because there is no woodwork betweel the windows to de- mand extra lengths of these) of apricot glazed chints bound in lilac chintz, SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

Finds No Barrier 1/ Man Is Mature Should Wife Ever Be Older Than Husband? \DorothyDix| 'HERE is no question that women ask me oftener than this: Shall I marry a man who is younger than I am? To which I respond: It depends upon the of the man. If he is a boy of 19 or 20, then even two or three years of rity on the woman’s part is nearly always a fatal bar to happiness, but if the man is 30 or 35 years old, it dogs not matter even if the woman is 10 or 15 years older than he is, The reason for this is obvious. No boy of 19 or 20 knows what he wants £ St e e Smiermed, B frtemen it o' ne voy more than likel el TV bore him to tears when he is man grown, Al bt As a matter of fact, the reason that so many lads fall in love, or think cu;gpf:i v.v:’zg :gmlcn mr"n';h‘:l ;.hemulves l: be:}-‘uae they ’:ml have the mother le lure of the older woman for them consists in her moth them and guiding them through the first love affair. i by But after ith comes to himself and knows his way about, he is very likely to snap the apron strings that bind him to a wife older than he is and to find for a playmate some young girl who belongs to his own generation, - * K ok % A WOMAN of 23 or 24 is in reality ages older than a boy of 19 or 20. She Possesses an amount of worldly wisdom and, sophistication that it will take him years upon years to acquire. He has no defenses against her arts and wiles, and he becomes her predestined victim if she wants him, Hence, any woman who marries an unformed lad is nothing but a cradle robber, and she generally pays the gemlty of her crime in having taken advantage of youthful ignorance by losing her boy husband when he arrives at man’s estate, But far different is the situation when a man is 30 or 35. Then he is mature. His tastes are settled, his habits formed, his outlook on life is deter- mined, and if he falls in love with a woman older than himself it is because they are really mates. It is because they are congenial and sympathetic, and because the woman has some attraction of the mind and soul for him. ‘The woman of 24 may well be afraid to marry the boy of 20, but the woman of 40 need not hesitate to marry the man of 30. The youth’s ideals are in a state of flux. They change from dey to day, but the mature man's ideals are fixed. They will not alter. He knows the qualities he desires in a wife, and when he finds them in a woman older than he is instead of in a flapper, she neefmno: fear that he will weary of her and forsake her for a younger and prettier face. There are many happy marriages in which the wives are much older than their husbands, but if you will observe they were practically all contracted after the man had reached his maturity. Taking a boy husband to raise is a fool- hardy risk for any woman to undertake. It is taking a 100-to-1 shot at happi- ness, with the odds all against his growing up into the nice little domestic hus- band who is a fireside companion and satisfied with his boyish pick of a wife. Of course, generally speaking, it is better for the husband to be older than the wife, but this is not as important a matter now as it formerly was. In olden times, when beauty culture was unheard of and women had few interests outside of the home, women lost their looks and grew dull after marriage, and aged so much more rapidly than men that a woman needed to start out with a long rdb‘or‘.mm her favor if she was to keep in the same age class with her usban ‘That is no longer the case. Women do not age faster than men nowadays. Indeed, they are such devotees of the youth cult, they diet so vigorously to main- tain a boyish figure, they are m: 80 to keep away the wrinkles, they have become such adepts in composing synthetic complexions, they dress so smartly and are so brimful of interests that they often look like flappers when they are grandmothers and far, far younger than paunchy, bald-headed men of their same age. So no woman need be afraid tI the man she marries is going to keep young while she grows old. She knows short cuts to the fountain of perpetual youth of which man has never heard, and she can keep whatever age is necessary. For if a man is as old as his arteries, a woman is as young as her artifices. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. 8. Patent Office.

THI ‘World War pulled “Doc” Eaton from his pulpit in & large church on Madison avenue in New York City and caused him at the age of 50 to start on a path that was never to lead back to the cloth. Now at the age of 62 he is a mem- ber of Congress— Representative Charles Aubrey Eaton of the fourth district of New Jer- sey. It is a strange story how this mild-mannered, kindly, white- haired man forsook the life of a cleric for that of a pub- Iic official and poli- tician. And although he does not seem to be miscast in his pres- ent role, one finds it easier to picture him as & minister of the gospel than as a member of Congress. “Doc” Eaton’s change in professions was back in 1917. The United States was trying to get troops across the At- lantic to France. Germany was sink- ing vessels faster than shipping yards in this country could build them. ‘The trouble lay in the fact that the shipping yards were not organized for such an emergency. High wages were being paid workmen, but the output of vessels was far below what it should have been. High officials of the Government and shipbuilders were called into conference. “Doc” Eaton, who had grown u%.lrnund he shipyards in New England, had pre- viously let it be known that he had a solution to the problem. He was invited to leave his pulpit, attend the confer- ence and explain his ideas. ‘When he had concluded his address at the conference, a high official of the Navy arose immediately. “In the name of the United 'States Navy,” he said, “I commandeer the serv- ices of the Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton and order him to report for duty at ‘Washington as quickly as possible.” Once in Washington he was made head of the national service section of the United States Shipping Board Emergency Fleet Corporation. From November, 1917, to January, 1919, he held this post—working night and day traveling from one end of the continent to the other to make sure that shipyards operated to their highest degree of effi- | clency. ‘When the war was over “Doc” Eaton found that he had created a new pro- him to organize their plants in the same manner he had handled the' emergency fleet. He did so¢ At present he is head of the industrial relations department of & lamp mm@y. In 1924 “Doc” Eaton’s close friends in North Plainfleld, N. J. suggested that he run for Congress. His opponent was one of his warmest friends. He was successful—was returned for a second term by a larger vote, and for a third term by an even larger margin. He says that he will never return to the ministry. “I was never a parson in the strict sense of the word,” he says. “And be- sides, why can't a man work for the advancement of God's kingdom as well on the floor of the House of Representa- tives as in a pulpit?” Delicious Chicken. Disjoint a young chicken as for fry- ing, and rub well with a lime or lemon.

Put back into the oven and vook untii the chicken is tender, which will take about 45 minutes. When served with rice, this is a delicious dish.

The average of all freezing tests was 80 minutes. Even the outside figure—155 minutes—is far faster than any other auto- matic freezing known to domestic electric refrigeration. Only Kelvinator domestic models have the famous Ise-Thermic Tubes, without which automatic super-fast freezing is impossible. These tubes, acting as a cold plate, give amazingly fast freezing, automatically. No regulation is needed. Nothing to tax the memory.
