WOMAN'’S PAGE. Stripes in the Latest Fashions BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘What have stick candy and convicts in common that is featured in the new fashions? There is a riddle for you, and AND STRIPES—ALL BUT STARS—BRIGHTEN _ THIS ‘WARM-WEATHER DRESS OF SILK SHIRTING. RED STRIPES ON WHITE WITH A BLUE RIBBON BOW. shirts and blouses. Candy stripes, which are less striking, are seen on wash silk dresses for warm weather wear. The silk used in the short-sleeved frock in the sketch shows red and white stripes, inspired, it would seem, by a stick of peppermint candy. In a season when figured prints are sure to be much in evidence—as they undoubtedly are this Summer —there is always something crisply refreshing about evenly distributed spots and stripes. Flowered prints may be pret- tier, bu¥ neat stripes are often smarter. ‘The dress shown in the sketch has the simplicity and trimness of a one- plece mode, but it is actually made in two pieces, as a dress has to be mace if it is to have the snug lines about hips and waistline demanded by present fashion. The blouse portion slips over the head and is long enough to permit a suggestion of blousing above the belt with 2 or 3 inches to tuck securely be- neath the skirt, which has a placket at the right side of the hip yoke finished with small hooks and eyes, and the belt is stitched to the skirt at the back only. ‘This week's Help for the Home dress- maker shows how to make a number of simple embroidery stitches that are used by Frenchwomen to trim their own and their children’s Summer dresses.

BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Comparing Budgets. ‘Whoever believes that American housewives are not wide awake and keen simply does not know them as we do. They are as keen about running their homes as their menfolk are about conducting their businesses. Lately some of our readers have been asking that we compare their budgets with those of other women, and so give them an idea about their relative effi- clency in running their respective ‘homes. “This is comparable to competition in business, and shows women are just as keen about excelling others in house- hold management as men are in busi- ness management. We often hesitate to make compari- sons not because they will reflect on most women, but because they are not always fair and are even misleading. For example one woman may have a healthy family without bills for sick- ness while another may have endless doctors’ bills. Naturally the latter will find budgeting a more difficult matter if incomes and all else are equal. Sometimes a family must run some sort of a cheap car to enable the man to get to work. Even a cheap motor car costs something in the way of operation and maintenance, and im- poses a strain on the family budget Wwhen the income is none too lusty. Another frequent complication is debt. Through illness, death, unem- Eoymem or accident a debt may be curred that requires months of pay- ment before it can be written off. This also strains the budget and limits the possibilities of the income. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE. Suspender Dress. It's straight from Paris!

When comparing budgets one must also compare circumstances at home, pending obligations, emergency needs and expenses and the like. only then is comparison fair or en- lightening.

In oniy a few instances were we able to make any radical constructive criti- cism. Keep up the good work! LITTLE SISTER SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. ‘The most poignant moment in the life of a wild-flower conservationist, even of the rabid variety, will come when some one on the streets thrusts under his nose a bunch of wild lupine. It is easy to resist if you have yourself had all the leisure necessary to junket about on wild-flower pilgrimages this Spring. But H:YDOM you have been a slave in office all this year, and the year before, and the year before. Suppose you get two weeks' or & month’s vacation in the still, hot, dead center of Summer, up at some Northern lake—a place where you go because you have always gone there, a place you never really cared about. Suppose you hear a cardinal bird, before rising in the morning, calling and calling on you to escape. Then somebody shows you that wild lupine is going begging at 50 cents a bunch. Verily, I say, there are few temptations like unto this one, for the persons like myself (and they are legion) who are not quite rational when it comes to wild flowers. Instead of telling how to succumb gracefully, or how to develop your will power by a little set of exercises to mu- sic each morning, I shall leave you (and myself) writhing upon the rack of the moral problem, and permit myself to gloat over the temptingness of the temptation. The wild blue lupine. which is not blue but a marvelous shade of blue- purple in reality, belongs to that order of flowers that is never quite credible. Many folk insist that it can be no true wild flower, but must be some garden flower escaped. This comes from a ridiculous tendency to despise that which costs nothing. Of all the flowers in the great legume family, which may always be known by the odd bilateral symmetry of the blos- soms, like a butterfly in form, the wild lupine and the wistaria please me most of all. They seem, like butterfiles, in- deed, always poised for flight. They have the enchanting vitality of animals combined with the touchability of plants.

May 5, 1865.—Maj. Gen. Halleck, commanding the Military Division of the James River, has issued a general order, in accordance with instructions ‘Washington, establishing a Court of Conclliation, consisting of three arbi- trators, in Richmond. This action was announced here today. ‘The new court will arbitrate such cases as may be brought before it in regard to the right of possession of a:operty, both real and personal, and the payment of rents and debts, where contracts were made upon the basis of Confederate currency, which now has no legal existence. It will take no jurisdiction of questions of title to E:openy. nor will its decisions be any r to legal remedies when the civil laws and civil courts are re-established. All parties bringing sult in this court, and attorneys and agents appearing for them, will be required to take the oath of amnesty. All alike, white and col- ored, will be allowed to enjoy the bene- fits of the court’s jurisdiction and all proceedings will be “directed solely to ascertaining and securing exact justice,” according to the statement made at the War Department. Gen. Halleck, with the approval of the Federal Government, has also is- sued, at Richmond, an order announcing that all persons, without regard to their rank or employment in the civil or military service of the late Confederate government, will be permitted to take the amnesty oath and will receive the corresponding certificate. ‘Those excluded from the benefit of such oath, it was explained here today, can make application for pardon or restoration of civil rights, which will be forwarded through the proper channels for the action of the President of the United States. The fact that such per- sons come forward and take the oath of allegiance voluntarily will be regarded by the Federal authorities as evidence of their “intention to resume the status of loyal citizens, and constitute claim for Executive clemency.” Gen. Grant_has recelved from Gen. Ewell of the Confederate Army a letter expressing his regret and indignation l!l the assassination of President Lin- coln. Gen. Ewell states in his letter that the following Confederate officers heartily agree with him: Maj. Gens. Ed John- son of Virginia and Kershaw of South Carolina, Brig. Gens. Barton, Corse, Hunton and Jones of Virginia; Dubois, Semmes and H. R. Jackson of Georgia; Prazier of Alabama; Smith and Gordon of Tennessee; Cabel of Arkansas and Marmaduke of Missouri, and Commo- dore Tucker of Virginia. ¢ Vegetable Salad. ‘To sccompany roasts or steaks—One cup diced cooked carrots, one cup cooked peas, one cup diced celery, two tablespoons chopped onions, two table- TEaspoon paprical one-hait ‘tablespoon paprika, one-] lespoon salt and one-third cup salad dressing.

Then rinse them well in warm water, and they will look as bright as when new. To clean a white raincoat, cut up two ounces of good yellow soap and boil it in a little water till dissolved, then let it cool a little and stir in half an ounce of powdered magnesia. Wash the raincoat with this, using a nail brush for the soiled parts; rinse off the dirty soap and dry with a clean cloth. Flannels and blankets will keep soft and white and will not shrink if washed with a tablespoonful of ammonia in the water. Kerosene rubbed over window A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. IN that area between Washington's beautiful Union Station and the Capitol is the group of unsightly struc- tures that offers mute evidence of the days when s country Wwas en- gaged in a World ‘War. They have been variously described as “old shacks” as ‘“eyesores,” as a “disgrace to the community.” In reality the hotels are owned and op- erated by the Fed- eral Government for the benefit of | young woman Gov- ernment employes. They were hastily built to care for the overfow in Washington during war times. At present there are some 550 young women, representing more than 43 States, who make their homes there. All hold positions in the various branches of the Government. For a room and two meals a day they pay an averrage of $50 a month. Centrally located and affording con- veniences which would cost more else- where in the city, these hotels are pop- ular. More of an asset than a liability are the hotels. Since they have been in existence, total excess of receipts over disbursements has been $300,902.92. Under the ?llnl for greater Wash- ington the buildings are to be razed to make way for a park which is to stretch from the Capitol to the Union Station. Work has already begun. Last Summer wrecking crews leveled eight of the buildings, prepared to finish the job this Summer. ‘These 550 young women, realizing that soon they would be forced to look for new homes, got busy. In & peti- screens will remove any rust that may have accumulated during the ‘Winter. tion signed by 426, they begged that |pan they be permitted to live there one more year, pointing out that since be- tween 4,000 and 6,000 clerks would come to Washington to help tabulate the 1930 census, it would be hard to find con- genial surroundings. To Johnny Blaine, who has already manifested his interest in them by in- troducing & bill providing for a dormi. tory system for woman employes in Government, and Bachelor Park Tram- mell the girls intrusted their cause in the Senate. Long ahd eloquently did these two plead that the girls be allowed to re- main in their homes another year. “The woman employes are entitled to that much consideration,” begged Bachelor Trammell. “It 15 only fair to them,” pleaded Blaine. But their entreaties fell on deaf ears. Reed Smoot, chairman of the Housing Commission, and Simeon Fess, member of the committee on publie buildings and grounds, were adamant. “The time has arrived” (to tear them down), said Smoot in a tone of finality. ; “I'hel girls must find new homes by uly 1.

N.E., Washington, D. G iy SUB ROSA BY MIMI Love and Learn. Puppy love is the means by which we become aware of the great social tem. That's what psychology has said and psychology is supposed to know. When a girl or boy, from the eighth grade in school, to give atten- tion to opposite sex, she or he has begun to take a place in the vast world of human beings. Most of us are inclined to think that love affairs are private matters, and 80 they are. We are supposed to re- peat what the men say to us. They are not expected to reveal the photos we have given them or read our letters out loud. At the same time, it is just as well to be chary with photographs and stingy with the words we use in letters to men. This private sentiment which all of us cherish is an entering wedge nto the wide world of human hearts. When we - feel delicious sentiment, we can realize how millions of others have felt. ‘When we coddle our little affairs and keep it from getting hard boiled, we are learning the secrets of all poetry and romance. All of us are interested in love stories| and love films. This isn't because we | are unduly sentimental. It is due in| large measure to the fact that our own little love flame lights up the whole| world. Then we can see what's going| on there. We can appreciate it, too. Love is an education, and if psy-| chologly is right in saying that we feel it scon after getting out of the eighth fi;tde, love is the high school of human We love and learn when we let the heart interpret the foreign language of the inner world where people live in their passions and sorrows. In this sense love is an education. This doesn’t mean that every schoolmarm is the real teacher of the three R's of love. Quite often the same schoolmarm is more anxious to learn than to teach such matters. It means that the warming up of the heart is the lighting up of the brain. You can learn some lessons by rote, some by reason, but there are others| you must learn by love. Those who do| not love or in whom love has cooled have trouble in understanding the rap- ture and sweet anguish of people in love. whether these are 20 or 40. We must learn by heart the lessons which love would teach. There are some great pedagogues in the learned world, the scientists and philosophers, whose high brows contain all sorts of problems for us to solve if we can. But the teacher who has the greatest les- sons for us is little Cupid. He has some lessons for us to master—home work, a correspondence course, love’s laboratory, and then some. ‘'FEATURES When Great Folks Turn Petty Voltaire, His Favorite Cup Missing, Bolts Away From Dinner Party. BY J.P. When Voltaire, the great enemy of intolerance, was in Paris in 1778 he made his home in the house of the Marquis de Vilette. One day the marquis entertained a large praty at dinner. When Voltaire came to the table he did not find at his place his own particular cup. “Where is my cup?” he demanded of a tall, simple domestic, who had the special duty of waiting on him. ‘The servant, unable to tell where the cup was, stammered some unintelligible ‘words. “Enemy of your master!” exclaimed Voltaire in a rage. “Go seek for my cup. I must have my cup or I shall not dine today.” The cup could not be found. The great_ wrjter thereupon walked off in a dudgeon to his room and shut him- self in. ‘The guests were astounded and dis- appointed, for they had anticipated de- light in the witty and instructive con- | versation of the master. Finally it was | decided that one of them to whom | Voltaire was devoted should try to coax him to come down again. Presently Voltaire heard a gentle knock on his door. ‘Who is there?” he shouted. t is I, Villevielle.” Voltaire opened the door. “My dear marquis,” he said, “what is the pu e of this visit?” “I am here in the name of all my friends, who are grieved at your ab- sence, to request you will come down, and to express the regrets of M. de Vilette, who has dismissed the simple- ton who was the cause of your anger.” Voltaire looked doubtful. “They invite me to come down?” GLASS. | VOLTAIRE LOOKED DOUBTFUL. “THEY INVITE ME TO COME DOWN?" “They must all laugh at me.” “How can you admit such a thought? Have we not all our notions in such matters? Has not every one his own glass, his own knife, his own pen?” “I see very well you are anxious to excuse me. Let us allow frankly that every one has his weaknesses. I blush at mine. Do you go down first, and I shall follow.” ‘The marquis descended. In a few moments Voltaire appeared and himself timidly, like a child who fears to be reprimanded. But before long Lh]e‘ good cheer restored him to him- self. The next day the simple servant was waiting on him again. (Copyright, 1930.) Pineapple Cream Filling.
