WOMAN'’S PAGE. Little Girl’s New Wardrobe BY MARY In your little girl's Summer wardrobe there should be at least one of the new light-weight brimmed straw hats to ao with the more Plceurelque Summer aft- ernoon dress of batiste, or dimity, voile or silk crepe. In addition there should be at least two berets—one to match her little flannel or serge coat for mo- toring and travel and another one for every-day wear. Doubtless you have seen the new AS WEARABLE AS IT IS SMART IS THIS CHILD'S BERET OF DOTTED SERYEEN AND WHITE SILK JER- crocheted straw berets, many of which have been imported to us from France and Italy this year. They are so light and comfortable and good looking that they are bound to be widely worn by little girls and bigger girls this Spring .and Summer. Felt berets, even when very light weight and soft, are too warm for Summer wear and their place will MARSHALL. seven inches. This done fold the circle into four equal sections. To cut out the pleces for the beret use this quarter disk allowing about three-quarters of an inch at the edges for seaming. You may cut two sections from one color and two from another and then alternate them in putting the beret together. Also cut a strip lengthwise of the material about an inch and a half in width and an inch longer than the headsize of a child for whom the beret is made. Join the sections to form a circle and make small French seams, taging care to keep the material flat and smooth at the center. Gather the material at the edge or, better still, take up the fullness in a serles of narrow flat pleats. Seam up the band so that it exactly fits the head, mount the edge of the circular portion and finish in a narrow, flat band. (Copyright, 1830.) SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. | ‘When pepole grow up they smile indulgently at childish tastes in every- thing from circuses to spider lilies. But I have never put away childish things. I still love a crystal better than a diamond, and I can still work up more sentiment about spider lilies than about roses, although I have long since learned that the real spider lily is a magnificent tropical swamp flower, which I meet on the Everglades, while our little blue wildflower, so com- mon in rich woodlands around Wash- ington this month, is called, in the books at least, the spiderwort. It is bad enough to tack the name of spider to this little sprite, without calling it a wort (which is Anglo- Saxon for herb or weed). Sometimes I want to move for the abolishing of common names of American flowers. Our piloneer ancestors, as revealed in the names they gave to flowers, were a literal-minded, nature-hating people. Spiderwort, lousewort, devil's lantern, rattlesnake grass, blood weed, snakes- head, dogwood, skunk cabbage, fleabane, henbit, elephant’s foot, cohosh, bugbane —these are the sort of names they found for a new and beautiful flora. In general, Latin names are a great deal prettier-sounding. Who would not prefer Tradescantia to spiderwort? doubtless be taken this Summer by these sairier knitted straws. Another sort of beret that may be as light and soft as you please is made of fabric fulled into a narrow crown band. ‘The sketch shows one of these made of green jersey with white dots. ‘To make & pattern for a beret of this sort make a circle with a l‘:d!us of I am aware that Tradescantia, which is in the family with Wandering Jew (and I hope he has not wandered into your loam beds), lacks every requisite of a good garden flower, for it will not stand up straight; it insists on hanging its head; it exudes a sticky, white juice when picked, and it fades in the house at once. In this latter respect, it is like all the flowers that close their petals maturally; it cannot stand picking. In natural conditions the spiderwort opens its flowers toward midnight, and is closed again at noon. Despite all these defects, I go on lov- ing it, and I notice that many other people put it in their gardens, where a note of blue is a hard thing to achieve. OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL ‘The best trained child is likely to rise up some morning and make us wonder if he has not been changed in the night. Gone is the amiable child of our love and in its stead is a whining, irritable, selfish child who demands our entire time and attention and is not satisfied with even that. What is the matter? g ‘We are mistaken when we think the change arrived in the night. It stole over the child slowly as a shadow creeps over the grass. -All of a sudden it is there and because we had not noted its coming we think it a revolutionary THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE change. It is really a matter of growth. Perhaps it is a physical growth gone wrong. Sometimes a child’s teeth will give great pain and uneasiness and the child, scarce knowing what is wrong, complains and clings. Or it may be that the diet is wrong. Any number of things may be going wrong and the best thing to do is to ask a child spe- look the troublesome child over and try to find out' what ails him. It may be that the home training has been inadequate. You see a little child changes rapidly as his body grows. Every day sees a little advance over its yesterday. We, so busy with our thou- sand-and-one cares, have not noticed, have not kept step with the child's growth. We are still treating the child as a six-month baby when he is a twelve-month child. That is a source of trouble. Diet, health habits, self-help, self- reliance, outside interests, all must be fostered in the little child according to his growth. It we overlook the phase of growth and do not supply it with what it needs to stimulate and guide mental growth and consequent power of body and mind, we make a mistake and rue it when it comes home to use in the form of the trying, troublesome child. There is a time to teach a child to play by itself; to use its own toys; to help itself. If we keep on helping the child long after it is able to help itself, if we thwart its efforts to help itself be- cause we are too impatient, luse we think we have not time to wait, we are going to be sorry because when the child is older he will still be thlnkln{xhe is an infant. His thought of himself is set by what he knows of himself. If he is allowed to believe that he is helpless, dependent, a baby, he is not to blame if, when he is 4 and 5 years old, ready by time standard and physical standards for school, he is but the 2- year-old bal dependent upon his Pajamas are assuming more and more mother. Begin early to let- the child row by personal experiences. Little children must have other chil- dren to play with or they will make their mothers’ lives unbearable. Grown- up people cannot be satisfying compan- ions for little children. This is another cause for troublesome children. Train- ing, companionship, outdoor play, good diet, long sleep, healthy letting alone— and the troublesome child will not be- long to you. Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND.

C, SATURDAY, LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop was smoking and thinking in his private chair, and ma sed, Well Will- yum, I bawt my Spanish shawl today, thank you. Meening pop would get the bill for it, and pop sed, I hope you dident make the mistake of picking out the most expensive one ih the place. I should say not, quite the contrary, ma sed. Of corse there wasent anything werth looking at under 80 dollers, be- cause it seems you cant get a real Spannish shawl for less than 80 dollers for love or money. The young man who waited on me was a real Span- nierd, too, at least his hair was cut quite long, down his cheeks rite next to his ears, she sed. In other werds his hair was Span- nish, pop sed, and ma sed, Anyway he seemed quite intristed in selling me a white shawl with red flowers, and I admit it reely was a feast for the eyes and a joy to the touch, but it was 130 dollers ‘and I had no intention of ask- ing you to pay 130 for just one Span- nish shawl. Yee I hope not, pop sed. 80 dollers seems quite plenty, and even for that they should of thrown in an emergency fringe or something, he sed, and ma sed, Well thats a way I felt, felt even 80 dollers was quite & g deel to lay out for one shawl, no mat- ter how Spannish it was. Im sure I havent been married all these years without learning a little about econ- omy, she sed. T hope not, but Im not as sure as you are, pop sed, and ma sed, Well then just lissen to the foxy little deal I put across. I tawked and bargained and outwitted him until at last he agreed to give me the white shawl with the red flowers and an ordnerry 80 doller one, both for 195 dollers, wich is a cleer saving of 15 dollers, and insted of having just one Spannish shawl I have 2, one prettier than the other, much prettier, and think of all the ci- gars you can buy for 15 dollers.

Lois’ had followed the doctor’s in- structions. After her stay at the hospi- tal she took life easily. She allowed the nurse to do most of the work. She was quite content to sit and cuddle the little bald-headed Ann in b:tween naps, bath and feeding times. Roger made fun of his little daughter. “I bet we’ll have to buy a wig for our daughter. Shall we make her a ‘raring’ tearing red-headed beauty or a fascinating blonde? Perhaps men of her day will Ke‘:;g‘ brunettes. What do you say, And Lois kissed the little bald head and murmured, “Don’t you care, sweet- ness, if daddy makes fun of you. I like you just the way you are.” But secretly she looked up her book on child care to see what was the matter that her’ chick had not a hair on her head. And then one day she saw a soft fuzz, just like down, and, oh joy, it looked as though it would be curly. Lois called Roger excitedly and broke the news to Even though Lois took life easily she did not slump. She had seen too many young mothers who lost their figure completely. She had always admired Nancy's slimness, “How did you get back your straight lines, Nancy? I feel so let down.” “Here's how, Lois. Lie flat in bed with no pillow under your head. Raise the right leg straight in the air. Do it five times. Then raise the left leg. Do this five times, too. “Now put the two legs together and, keeping them straight, lift them to- gether. Keep them closely parallel. Raise and lower them five times. Do this every day. “A little later you can try the old ex- ercise of touching floor with fingers without bending knees. Exercises such as these strengthen and tone sagging muscles. You don't need to bulge or slump just because you are the mother of Ann.

The blooming will continue if you clip them constantly. If you have seedlings, see that they are sufficiently watered and properly protected from excessive heat and sun. Raspberry and strawberry boxes may be put over them on very hot days, from early morning until evening, to keep out too much heat. Give enough water to all your gar- den.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Dm MISS DIX—I am an orphan living with my three sisters. Two are in school and dependent. One, 3 years my senior, works and earns enough to support the younger sisters. I want to go to college more than anything else in the world, but my sister objects to this, saying that it is as much my duty to help support the younger children as hers. Don't you think that if I have the grit to work my way through college she should be willing to help that much for three years? . FREDDIE. Answer—TI certainly do not see any justice in your evading your part of the family responsibility and dumping the whole burden on your sister’s shoul- ders. It is just as much up to you to work and help support the younger sisters as it is hers, and if you have any manhood in you, you will brace up and do it. Suppose you do want to go to college. Probably she would like to go to Europe, and one of you has just as much right to gratify a desire as the other. You will say that these next three years are crucial ones in your life and that g‘m had a better education it might help you to make more of a success in e. She can say with equal truth that the next three vears are a crucial time in her life because that will be the time in which she will be most likely to marry, and if she does not have to work too hard and can have money to buy some pretty clothes, she will stand a far better chance of catching a good husband than if she was overworked and underfed and shabby, as she would have to be if she had to support the younger sisters without any help from you. It is all right for the individual to sacrifice himself in order to go to college it he wants to, but he hasn’t any right to sacrifice others. And altogether too many families who are making martyrs of themselves for the 1e of a college education for some boy or girl of mediocre ability. S ese DOROTHY DIX. DEAR MISS DIX—Why ‘s it that a man comes in from business, has dinner with his wife and as soon as dinner is over and they go into the living room, she begins applying cleansing cream, then skin food, then tissue builder? All evening she is greased up and when you get a kiss it is greasy. Makes me think of castor oil, or when you are hungry being given a piece of meat with cold gravy on it to eat. Of course, if a man wasn't hungry for a kiss he would let it go, but rather than have none at all he will kiss the wife, cold cream and all. I am not against the use of creams, pastes and rouges, but why not use l:llJ;:m in the business hours of the husband? It is a pretty Hgl )‘k‘"(:'“ the time. . M. z Answer—T should say so, G. M. C. Perhaps the reason so many husbands’ love perishes is because it dies of acute indigestion of cold cream. Of course, a wise woman takes care of her skin and does all she can to preserve her school- girl complexion, but if she has almost human intelligence she doesn't make a beauty repair shop of the living room, and how she does it is a secret between there are | herself and her mirror. And, believe me, cold cream is not the diet that love feeds on. DOROTHY DIX.

The very uniqueness of such an en- semble lends enchantment. ‘It supplies & definite link between ornamental win- dow and bedstead treatment, the former an architectural feature of a room and the latter a furnishing. Coupling them together in the new and dainty way adds still another charming ensemble to the various styles that have béen de- veloped previously.

May 24, 1865.—Gen. Sherman's army today passed in review along Pennsyl- vania avenue and before President John- son and Lieut. Gen. Grant, who were seated in the main pavilion in front of the White House. As on yesterday, when the Army of the Potomac was reviewed, immense throngs filled the sidewalks and occupled the windows, balconies and housetops, wherever a view of the marching soldiers from the Western and Southern battlefields could be obtained. ‘The two wings of the Army—the right wing, composed of the Army of ‘Tennessee, Maj. Gen. Logan command- ing, and the left wing, composed of the Army of Georgia, Maj. Gen. Slocum commanding—bivouacked last night, without knapsacks and with two days’ cooked rations in their haversacks, on the Virginia shore of the Potomac River near the Long Bridge, with the right in advance. At daylight this morning the troo) moved by the right flank, crossed the bridge and marched to the streets east of the Capitol. By 8 o'clock both armies of Sherman’s command were formed in the atreets contiguous to the Capitol, ready for the order to march in review. ‘The signal gun was fired at 9 o'clock. The column passed around the Capitol and down the hill to Pennsylvania ave- nye, westward on the avenue, between cHeering crowds and before the re- viewing stand erected in front of the White House. The troops moved with unfurled colors and arms at right- shoulder shift until they had passed the Treasury Department, when they brought their arms to a shoulder with bayonets fixed.. They were returned to the position of shoulder shift after the men had passed the White House. Gen. Sherman, accompanied by Gen. Howard, whose empty sleeve spoke elo- quently of the past, rode a little in ad- vance of his staff at the head of the great double army. The officers of his staff carried bouquets of flowers in their hands, and their horses were decorated with flowers. After passing the President, Gen. Sherman, with Gen. Howard, rode to the west entrance of the White House, dis- mounted and joined the group on the main stand. The marching hosts eon- tinued their progress down the Avenue all day long. A After Gen. Sherman, the next high ranking officer was Gen. Logan, who rode at the head of the Army of Ten- nessee. He was on a magnificent gray horse. Swarthy and erect, he looked the beau ideal soldier. Gen. Slocum, riding at -the head of the Army of Georgia, followed later in his turn, his hands filled with flowers. He presented that same martial appearance that was manifest on the battlefields of Chancel- lorsville and Gettysburg. Every officer who wore an empty sleeve or otherwise showed that he had been wounded, received extra cheers from the enthusiastic throngs of specta- tors. ‘Two “contraband” boys, riding dimin- utive white mules, at the head of a large pack of horses and mules, brought up the rear of the 2nd Division of the 20th Corps and caused shouts of laugh- ter. This was part of the celebrated “flying transportation department” of Sherman’s Army on its famous march to the sea and northward from Savannah. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Placards as Reminders. One mother says: Constant repetition of things to do and not to do sometimes lose their force by being repeated so often. So I use the system of getting across my ideas by the use of placards. A card on the toothbrush container saying, “Remem- ber Me” or “Let Me Shine Your Teeth"; one on the bed, reading, “Give Me Air,” or on the door, “Close Me Gently” are more effective than verbal reminders. Frequent changing of the cards is de- sirable and a little humor adds gzest. Colored pictures, such as are found in magazine ads, may be used for children too young to read. (Copyright, 1930.)

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) The skin en my face is very sallow and full of pores that look like blackheads. My eves| fcll are very dull. Can you suggest some- thing that might make them brighter and my complexion better? My eyes are always heavy looking, my skin d looking and my hair has no luster and looks drab and lifeless. (2) My hands are very rough and red. What can I put on them to make them smooth and white? (3) After I use make-up my face feels hot and dirty and I cannot keep powder on my skin. So I am always making-up. MRS. RUTH G. H. Answer—Dull, heavy eyes and a sallow complexion and dull looking hair indi- cate that your whole system needs a general overhauling and toning up. Your health in general is far below par, and the first item on your beauty prob- lem should be a thorough physical ex- amination by your physician to discover whether you have some organic or other internal disturbances. Another factor that must be taken into consideration before you x::xpect results is this: Do you spend time out of doors in the fresh air and sunshine, and do you take some brisk exercise every day? Are you yourself happy and alert? One'’s state of mind has much to do with the health in general and the condition of the skin, hair and eyes. So my-message to you, dear woman, is look to your health in general and at the same time try the external beauty aids. This dual method is necessary if you are to solve your beauty problems. And now for local treatment. Every night at bedtime cleanse your skin with: a lightweight cleansing cream or ofl. ‘This would loosen up the surface dust and make-up. Wipe off the surplus cream with a tissue square or a clean plece of cloth. -Next wash your face with warm water and a mild soap. Lather it two or three times, rinsing each soaping in warm water. Then wring out a small turkish towel in hot water and hold it over the face for a few seconds. Repeat the hot application two or three times. If there are any large blackheads, press them out gently, using a comedo extractor or your covered with a clean handkerchief. Do not bruise the skin, however, by using too much pressure. Next mix one heaping teaspoonful of boric acid in one pint of bolling water. BEDTIME STORIE Two Happy Little Folks. No loss 15 there without some gain, Nor joy So great uig fres of pain. ANNY MEADOW MOUSE. Nanny Meadow Mouse was up in a tree. She didn't get thcre. herself. Farmer Brown's Boy had put her there, although Farmer Brown's Boy didn't know it. Farmer Brown's Boy had put an old ‘tin can up in the tree for a bird house, and unknown to him Nanny was in that tin can. When Nanny finally discovered where she really was, “WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” DE- MANDED NANNY. she was for leaving at once. She waited only long enough to make sure that| Redt dy Fox was not at hand and no other enemy was in sight. Then she crept out onto a little branch that was just in front of the little round door und. There was an old stick leaning against the tree and slanting down. It was an easy matter for Nanny, for she had climbed before. “There!” said she, when at last she was on the ground. “I guess I'm about throught with that thing. Now what shall I do and where shall I go?” She hesitated a bit, for she had never been over here before, and it was all new to her. She made her way to the edge of the bushes and tried to make up her mind whether to stay in the bushes or to go out on the Green Mea~ dows. She was still undecided when she heard a little rustling back of her. Nanny's heart leaped right up in her throat. Who could that be? It might be Shadow the Weasel. It might be a strange Mouse. It might be—well, there were a lot of people it might be, Nanny turned her head and looked back. Then she gave a little squeal of joy. There was Danny Meadow Mouse! Danny was staring as if he had never seen her before. You sse they had been separated so long that Danny had been sure that something dreadful had hap- pened to Nanny, and Nanny had been sure than something dreadful had hap- pened to Danny. So it was hard for either to believe that they were once more together. It was Nanny who moved first. After that first little squeal she turned and rushed straight to Dan- | s ny. They touched noses and right then and there were two as happy little peo- ES. Allow it to cool and then bathe the for several minutes. Blot the skin and apply a commercial open pore sal or blackhead ointment, or a little of the salve and leave it on overw 3 e dram ichthyol, two drams zino oxide, two drams powdered starch, three drams petroleum. Mix to & ead | Smooth salve. In the morning wash the face with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse well in cold water and dry the skin, using a little friction. Pat on little cold cream or tissue cream massage the face for a few seconds, using an upward, rotary pattering ma¢ tion. Wipe off the lus cream an@ pat on & skin lotion and allow it to dry on the skin and finish the make-up. ©Once a week have a thorough facial massage, and give the warm witch-hazel pack, which has appeared recently in my beauty talks. During the day before you apply fresh make-up cleanse your skin with & cleansing cream or oil. Pat on a skin lotion or a skin freshener and then renew your face powder and make« up. It the constant application of face powder and make-up over the clogged pores that makes the skin une able to function correctly. Be sure to remove all make-up at bedtime and see that your skin is thoroughly cleansed, Your type of skin needs stimulation, friction, softening and refining.

Danny had been wan=- dering around all this time, not know- ing where to go and not caring much ‘where he was, so long as he could not find Nanny. It was just by chance that he had come that way just then. He had been not very far from there when Farmer Brown’s Boy had come along. “Did you see Reddy Fox, too?” asked Nanny. “No,” replied Danny. “Has Reddy been this way?” ° - “I should say so!” exclaimed Nanny. “He ran when he heard Farmer Brown's Boy coming.” “Then he must have run the other way, and that is why I did not see him,” said Danny. Well, my dear, what shall we do now? Where shall we go? I suppose we may as well look for the place to make that new home we start- ed out to make. Shall we look around here in the bushes or shall we go out on the Green Meadows?" “That is the very thing I was trying to decide when you came along,” re- plied Nanny.
