WOMA N'S PAGE. French Use of Intricate Stitchery BY MARY Dainty hand work never goes out of Rashion in Prance, and wherever you see a collection of new French d and blouses this season you are sufe to ®ee a great many untrimmed, save for ome more or less intricate stitchery. There is nothing new about jour echelle—ladder work, as we call it—but 8t is decidedly smart this season, and THIS NEW FRENCH BLOUSE I8 ‘TRIMMED HAND-WORKED JOUR ECHELLE, OR LADDER WORK. 4t is comparatively easy to do. All you need is a needle and thread and a bit of patience. In the dress shown in the sketch is a simple ladder design made by drawing threads at regular intervals, reinforced with hemstitching, with n;u.ne and oblong applications of linen of a contrasting color. The diagrams will give you a good 4dea of how the design is made. The squares measure three-quarters of an inch, and the oblongs are three-quarters of an in wide and three and three-quar- ters inches long. After you have de- cided where you wish to use the design, figure out how many squares and ob- longs you will need of the darker tone, MARSHALL. and cut these from the contrasting linen, making them a trifle larger than the sizes indicated to allow for turn- ing under the edges. The edges should be turned under and neatly basted. Then, lightly tracing with a pencil, draw off the design on the material. Draw two or thi threads of the linen where hemstitching is in- dicated, taking pains to cut the threads at the ends of the lines before you be- gin to draw, so that the material will not be puckered, After this is done, place the applica- tions where darker tone is wanted and baste them into position, and then pro- ceed with the hemstitching, taking pains to pass the needle through the edge of the applications as you do the | hemstitching. Handmade sweaters are among the |new things for Spring and Summer, and tomorrow's: sketch shows a charm- ing sleeveless model imported from |Prance. If you know anything about knitting, you can readily see’ from the diagram just how to make it. | (Copyright, 1930.) A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER.

LAST DROP - | consider THE EVENING Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Fears. Psychologists have just about come to an agreement about fear. They all say that fear is the foundation of emo- tional life. Your pet fear—that is, the one you harbor with great care and solicitude—is the one that stamps you as a somebody held down by a some- thing that doesn't seem to apply to other people. In other words, what you fear and what you do about it make you what you are. ‘Your big personal problem is to find | out where you get your fears. Your next move is to get rid of them. ‘To get at the origin of fears you must three things—environment, body, mind. From your environment you feel “strains”; in your body you feel “pains”; in your mind you concoct ‘“worries.” Strain, pain and worry are the original sources of fear, with worry doing 10 times more than the two others; for it is possible to combine your worries with strains and pains in thousands of ways. Mix a worry (something in your mind) with your work (something in your environment), and you set the stage for a nervous breakdown. Mix a pain (something in your body) with a worry (something in your head) and you can imagine you have all sorts of diseases. Make up your mind to make an end of worries and you will conquer fear.

In hunting they had found both coats and good appetites. Fortunately, Nancy's favorite salad was on the menu for the day. It was shrimp salad. With that hearty dish Nancy chose toasted rusks, a pot of tea and hot apple turnover. Eunice chose the salad with bran rolls, tea, fruit cup and butterscotch cookies. ‘The club was famous for its shrimp salad. Since Nancy was on the res- taurant committee, it was possible for her to get the recipe. Dry canned shrimp were used. First the little black line which encircles the outside middle of each shrimp was re- moved with a sharp-pointed knife. -“i“‘ i | 1) A Shrimp carry some of their “innards” is | on the outside. After the shrimp had been cleaned, they were rinsed and broken into large pleces, with the exception of & few which were used for garnish. For each cupful of shrimp the salad maker prepared one-half cupful celery cut in small pieces, one-half cupful drained, cooked peas. To this mixture she added two tablespoonfuls well sea- soned French dressing and one-quarter cupful mayonpaise. The mixture. was stirred lightly, chilled and then serv- ings were arranged on cleaned and drained lettuce leaves. A small cup lettuce leaf held additional mayonnaise. A few peas and whole shrimps were put on salad for garnish. Occasionally chopped green peppers or whole capers were substituted for peas in garnish. STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, TUESDAY, MAY 20, 1930. Last Hours of Great Fighters Alexander Conquered World, But Was Beaten by Hard Drinking. BY J. P. GLASS. | “TO WHOM DO YOU “TO At Babylon, in the midst of mammoth projects, including the subjugation of Arabia, the founding of new cities and the amalgamation of Persians and Macedonians in one military force, | homage to his dead friend, Hophaestion. Obsequies on a tremendous scale were arranged. A huge feast was served, at which Alexander himself presided. Like every one else, he abandoned himself to conviviality. Intoxication at a fnueral was required. It was a token of re- spectful sympathy toward the deceased. That night he was invited to sup with his friend, Medius, Already full of wine, he accepted. It was morning when the revelry ceased. He spent the day in sleeping off his intoxication. But in the evening he was with Medius again. Feasting and drinking once more were the order. Already Alexander was suffering from a slight fever. At Medius’ table, swal- lowing the contents of a large goblet called the Cup of Herakles he became very ill. He was too sick to return to his palace. He bathed and slept in the { house of Medius. He was unable in the morning to | rise. But he did not neglect his daily | habit of celebrating sacrifice. He had himself carried out on a couch. After- ward he lay abed all day. ‘The fever steadily grew worse. Four days more and it was violent. Never- the less, he called in his officers and ordered them to prepare for the pro- Jected expedition. After 48 hours more he could scarcely be lifted out of bed to perform the sacrifice. Desperately ill, he was re- conveyed to his palace. Now, though he knew them well, he was unable to speak to his officers. Death was in the air. The generals knew it, Alexander knew it. The ques- tion was what was to become of that magnificent empire which his genius had obtained. “To whom do you bequeath your kingdom?” he was asked.
