Let the water be a pale blue, have the ducks a bright yellow, and for the reeds or grasses which stand up out of the water, use a grass green. ‘BEAUTY CHATS Fat and Thin Hands. A great many readers ask me a most difficult question—that is, what to do with hands that are too fat or too thin. ‘There is always the obvious answer: if you're too fat, reduce; if you are too thin, put on weight. But this is a large subject, and we generally talk about these things on Tuesdays. ‘Thére are, however, one or two things that you can do that will greatly improve your hands. If they are too thin, give them a good scrubbing with hot water and soap, then massas them thoroughly with the following lo- tion: Take an ounce of cocoa butter, an ounce of lanolin, and one and a half ounces of olive oil. Put the in- nts into & small soucepan, warm m until they just blend, stir gently and pour into a clean jar. Keep stir- ring until the mixture begins to con- geal. If you don't like the smell you can add a couple of drops of perfume Just after you've poured it into the jar. ‘When the hands are dry, but still Wecu from their scrubbing, some of this mixture can be rubbed into them.

It is beter not to have the border the same color as the water, as it does not serve as a prettily contrasting frame to quite the same extent. Such a baby carriage robe as de- scribed makes an exquisite gift for a layette. The work is done quickly in comparison to the result. Those to whom neither knitting nor crocheting are congenial may find this sort of work a delight. The cost of such a baby carriage robe if bought already made would be substantial, but if made at home little expense is attached, al- though the best of materials be em- ployed. Any who are contemplating making such a robe will be interested to know that the duck motif will be given in this department next week (Monday), printed in pattern form, so that it can be used directly from the newspaper. There are also many other interesting uses to which it can be put for little tots, These also will be described. (Copyright, 1930). i Tl ' [ ({0 Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND.

C. \DorothyDix| . Ppracy JOYCE says that & woman should never marry & man who under- stands women. These words are pearls of wisdom and should be eagerly gathered up and taken to heart by those foolish ladies who yearn to be understood by the opposite sex. Curiously enough, this is an almost uni- versal feminine obsession, and the grievance of nine out of ten tled wives is that their husbands do not understand them. They admit that their Johns are good and kind and generous and faithful, but they do not understan: them, so all is woe, and beating upon their breasts. Instead of women lamenting their misfortune in not being understood by MONDAY, 1) Men Understood Women men, it is a mercy for which they should thank Heaven on their knees, for it | youn is the one thing that not only keeps a man intrigued and interested in a woman, but that enables her to work him. A woman whose reaction to every situstion & man had figured out would have little fascination for him. A wife whose every mood and tense her husband could anticipafe would be as boring to him as a tale he knew by heart. s e . ’I‘HE chief allure that & woman has for & man is the unexpected. He never knows what she is going to do next, nor which way the cat will jumr. She piques his curiosity and keeps him guessing and that stimulates his imag! nation, and rouses his fighting blood and makes him determined to solve that human conundrum even if he has to marry it to do so. But far othes would it be if a man understood women and knew the answer to the riddie before it was even asked. The more mysterious & woman is the more she fires a man’s fancy, and that is why they are so foolish in desiring to present a diagram of their hearts and souls to men, and that is why they make such a mistake in not keeping secret all the little tricks of their trade. As, for instance, how they achieve their looks. Although I have seen it done a million times I have never ceased to shudder when I behold & woman make up her face in public. It is such a psychological crime, for one dab of the powder puff and one swipe of the lipstick l'e'fl)l‘lly all illusion and proclaim to all men and sundry that the skin they love to touch owes its beauty to the drug store and not to nature. But for the give- away they might have always belleved that Miss Peaches and Cream’s com- plexion was genuine instead of synthetic, and that the wave in her hair was put there without curling irons. A very astute old man of the world once said to me that his idea of a subtle woman, who would never lose her cke=m for a man, was one to whom he could be married for 20 years without ever finding out whether her hair was her own or not. Certainly, by the same token, a clever woman performs the rites of the toilet in private and does not make men wise to the exact amount I of rouge she uses, nor how she achieves her effects of beauty. But suppose men really did understand women! How it would eut down the marriage rate! For it would enable the man who doesn't want to get married to scent danger from afar and take to the tall timber for safety, whereas now he never even perceives that a woman is pursuing him until after she has nabbed him. The salvation of women is that men know so little about them that they take them at their face value, so to speak, and as long as they are young and slim and pretty they never suspect that they are anything but what they seem. o o e T is because men do not understand women that & woman can take in even the shrewdest man and put across any kind of propoganda about herself that she desires. The flapper golddigger can make the aged millionaire believe that she is marrying him for love of himself alone; the hard-boiled woman can make & man belfeve she is & clinging vine; the woman with & lurid past ean make & man believe that she is an angel at heart and is the unfortunate victim of circumstances. Even s moron can roll her eves at an intellectusl man and make him think she would be & congenial companion. some evil fairy should grant wives’ prayers for husbands who unde?l‘:ggguthem, What s boomerang 1t would be! Suppose a husband could assay & wife's tears and know when she was weeping for grief and when for revenue only. autoblography Miss Jopyce tells how she wept cars and ublx: og::.s 'zla":itllimond e klbces out of her husbands, and while not many Hhen are able to dry thelr wives' tears on such expensive luxuries, still and all a lot of women know that the water way 1s the shortest cut to their heart's desire and the quickest may to ending an argument, especially when they are in the wrong. rstood women, how it would block wives' time-honored approach ‘,hml m;n}::xad:; impart to their husbands the news that mother was coming Toa€R nice long visit, or that the new hat cost $40, or that they had made up o = minds o go to Europe for the Summer.

Are you satisfied with the shape of your nose? If you are, you have great cause for thankfulness. Judging from the dosens of letters from readers who shape of thelr noses, it seems that few are pleased with this feature. “My complexion is lovely,” writes one g lady, “and several times I have overheard lm‘mwm::on remark th.'zh: am good- , but some one hears it will be sure to say, ‘She would be if it wasn't for her nose.’” As we have all been guilty of thinking thing, either about some one else’s or perhaps about our own, we know how to sympathize when this young lady continues: ‘“Oh, Miss Leeds, is there anything I can do to change & fat, stubby nose into a good-looking| one?” And now let’s see what can be done about these noses which cause their owners so much distress. If the nose is actually so badly shaped that it amounts to a deformity, there is obviously no :Imlne treatment which will help a great leal. But I believe that few of my readers need to have their noses remodeled completely. Not all of us can afford to have an operation to alter the shape of the nose, 50 let'’s see what else there is to be done about it. In the first place, there are many diseases which affect the shape of the nose. Many a mother has seen her child’s nose change from a slender, classic one to a nose with wide, coarse nostrils. Such damages are caused by an obstruction in the nasal passages, the ghroat or the sinuses. Any difficulty in breathing should be treated by a physician at once, as such defects will not only ruin the shape of the nose but will undermine the most vigorous constitution. But if the trouble seems to be only & badly shaped nose, without predispos- ing to disease, something can be done at home to improve it. Since the end of this feature is composed of cartilage and muscle, it can be molded by mas- sage. There are also nose supports which may be worn at night and which are sometimes helpful in molding the tip of the nose along shapely lines. ‘To massage the nose place the first| and second fingers on the bridge and| gently knead the flesh with the thumb of the same hand. There are many whose noses are fleshy, a defect which will give a coarse appearance to a face ‘which might otherwise be quite attrac- tive. To reduce a fleshy nose give it a rotary pinching massage between thumb and forefinger. This movement will also help those whose noses have a ten- dency to spread at the tip. (Copyright, 1930).

Psychic Adventures of Noted Men and Women Viscount Adare Sees Daniel Home's Body in Mid-air ° QOutside Window. BY J. P. GLASS. “THE THREE FLOATING IN More than half a century now has passed since the Viscount Adare and James Ludovic Lindsay, who later be- came, respectively, the Earl of Dun- raven and the Earl of Crawford, sat in an upper room of & house in London in company with the American medium, Daniel Dunglas Home, and a certain Capt. Wynne and so shared in one of the strangest of purported happenings. Home was a man of mystery. Born in Scotland, he had become an orphan at an early age. An aunt adopted him and brought him to America, settling in a little Connecticut village not far from Willimantic. As he grew up, however, he attracted mysterious raps and knocks, which made her house so uncomfortable that she drove him out, asserting he had “brought the devil” into the place. Penniless and friendless, young Home set out on his own. But he never knew want. In a short time he was a noted person. In the years that followed he gained world fame and rose to be the intimate of the great, both here and abroad. He had mysterious powers—or, at least, he seemed to have them. Wit~ nesses of his feats testified that he could tip tables and even turn them upside down without physical contact; that he could tip a table on which had been placed a pencil, candles, a tum- bler and a paper without disturbing these objects: that he could lift him- self without visible means of support to the celling of a room, and perform numerous other stunts which were com- pletely mexgnc-ble unless it be as- sumed that he employed some force be- yond the reckoning of ordinary persons. He never was caught in trickery. As his investigators included such men as William Cullen Bryant, the poet; Prof. David G. Wells of Harvard, Lord Brougham, Sir David Brewster, Sir Bul- wer Lytton, Lord Crawford and even Sir William Crookes, his reputation was sustained. He rose so high soclally that he married the daughter of a noble Russian family. It was not long after this event that he returned to England and to the company of Lord Dunraven, Lord Crawford and Capt. Wynne. The four men were sitting in con- | versation when Home suddenly got up and walked into an adjoining room. A window was heard to open. The next moment the three others were as- tounded to perceive Home's form float- ing in the moonlight outside the win- OTHERS WERE ASTONISHED TO yzrwnvz HOME'S THE MOONLIGHT OUTSIDE THE WINDO' FORM W." dow of the room in which they were seated. ‘The window was 70 feet above the street. Yet there in midair, smiling easily, was Home. ‘The incident was of only & moment’s duration. The next instant Home was in the room with them again. “Close the window in the other room,” he told Dunraven. The latter complied, and on returning that as the window had not been raised a foot he did not understand how a man could squeeze through it. “Come with me and I will show you,” said Home. They followed him into the next room. “Open the window as befors” he said. Dunraven carrying out the com= mand, he and Crawford and Wynne were again awed when Home assumed a rigid horizontal position, passed out through the window head first, and almost instantly returned feet first. Did Home impose a clever trick upon his companions? They said afterward that it was so dark outside the window they could not see clearly how he was he did not % wrasp or rest e nof pear or the bnlunr:g upon out and in. But hn?&'x'ldwwb:m and in. e no explanation of a normal nature. It is possible that Home had rigged ug from the roof apj tus which en- abled him to accomplish this supposed levitation. In their stunned his companions did not think to inves- tigate. Anyway, sm accomplice could have removed it after Home's return to the room.
