Distinctive Children’s Fashions BY MARY ‘There has been a parting of the ways tween fashions for little girls and ns for their mothers. With the Emee-length skirt for women and the silhouette that refused to tak> into con- | sideration any slenderness at the waist- Hine, there was nothing to prevent little Is of 5 or 6 or 7 from wearing dresses t were amazingly like those worn by their mothers. It was not that little @irls dressed like women. but that women dressed like children. The recent changes that have rome #n women’s fashions—Ilonger skirts and more definitely defined waist lines— fortunately have not been carried along the line to little girls’ clothes. Skirts for children remain as short as ever. The little sprigged dimity dress shown I the sketch struck us as being especially charming.

He has been in Congress something like 16 years, dur- ing which time he has come to be known as one of the most colorful men on the Hill. He is colorful be- cause no one knows what he will do next. He is as lia- ble to rip off his collar in the midst of an impassioned speech as not—has, in fact. Just the other day, during consider- ation of the conference report on the bill, Quin staged one of his shows. He had the House convulsed over so prosaic a subject as cement. When he gets up to speak, he is eeted with thunderous applause. ut invariably his colleagues quiet down that they may hear his numerous eracks. His speeches are punctuated Wwith cries of “Louder” and gales of laughter and applause, but he is heard. ‘The posture Quin assumes while aking is one of magnificence.

GUNN. Walking With God. “Enoch walked with God."—Genesis, |v.2e This means simply that Enoch made God his companion. As he went about his daily business—the business of the herd, or of the ordering of his house- hold—he carried with him the con- sciousness of God's companionship, | realized habitually His abiding presence with him. In other words, while tread- |ing the common path of secular life, he | lived in close touch with God, looking to Him for guidance in all things and bringing his whole life into conformity with the divine will. Herein is the very essence of the reli- gious life—the realizing sense of the living presence of God, the effort and aspiration after communion with Him, and the quiet obedience and conformity of the practical life to His will and law. Such a life is possible for us all, | whatever our conditions, whatever our | hindrances. Such a life is in no way | Inconsistent with practical necessities |or with the complete discharge of all | common duties. | Noah found it possible to live in | communion with God and yet to do all the common things that men did in his day. Anybody’s house may be & | house of God. Anybody's work may be | worship. Wherever we are and what- | ever we do, we may therein serve God and there talk with Him. In the busy rounds of the day there may be mo- | ments when the consciousness of God becomes submerged beneath the surface for a little; but when the pressure re- laxes, the natural bent and inclination of the heart assert themselves, and the mind goes back to Him. We never realize the blessedness of | living until we realize the blessedness | of walking with God. folderol which has been injected into this debate,” is a characteristic expres- sion. And he proceeds to do so. “The gentleman from North Dakota ought not to display his lack of knowl- | edge!” he will shout. “My friend from New Jersey argues in a circle; a man of his abilities should not attempt to fool us,” he will say with great vehemence. His personal appearance is a great help on such occasions. His red hair is short. His figure is powerful. The ranking minority member on the House military affairs committee, Quin has a knack of delaying or killing those bills to which he is opposed by intro- ducing facetious amendments. Not so long ago an attempt was made in the House to enact legislation which would make a person who circulated harmful information about the status of a national bank subject to ition. Quin couldn’t see the justi he snorted, “not what people say about them.” got busy and proposed an amendment making the president of a bank who gave out harmful information about the financial status of an indi- vidual subject to prosecution as well. He succeeded in having the objection- able amendment withdrawn. On the floor Quin spends most of his time in the Democratic cloakroom smoking his long-stemmed pipe and gossiping with his colleagues. He rarely misses a roll call. In fact, his zeal in this respect has often made him the butt of joking friends. One, who has a voice easily mistaken for McDuffie, the Democratic whip, delights in seeing | that no longer can he work the big Ql{lin bound into the chamber on a fake THE EVEN G STAR SUB ROSA BY MDIL Braves and Squaws. | The festive Indian has put as much color into American life as he has red in his skin. Our forefathers made nim skedaddle from the land and set him | off on a reservation, but he is still teaching the pale face lessons. Our collegiates, for example, are - carrying out the Indian idea with their rah-rahs and sports. We are getting away from the old notion that man is a brave and woman a mere squaw. Time was when the man was the chief of the tribe and the big noise around the camp. About all woman could do was to cook his meals | and look after the papoose. That was | in the pop and mom period of our history. In some ways it's woman who is the brave. She knows how to apply the war paint an deck out with feathers, and then she isn't half had when it comes to grabbing the wampum. Wom- an has been gradually catching up with man on the long, long trail of life, so injun chief racket. Most of us are glad that such a change has come about in the wigwam. Of course, it must have been nice when women had only domestic duties and knew pothing about the struggle for existence. But it's nicer to realize that we are about as free as the old braves used to be. Just the same, it seems to me that woman can well afford to cut out the warwhoops and go about her work si- lently. She can make a killing on the chase, when it comes to bringing home the venison, just as she can have sev- eral scalps dangling at her belt as the result of her encounter with men. But there is no need of starting a war dance to_the music of the tom-toms. No, it's peculiar to woman to work more serenely. While she was out after the ballot she did have to raise a rumpus, as they did over in England. But that was only that the men might sit up and take notice. As soon as they saw that women wanted to vote they let 'em. Then. too, it seems to me that we might be a little happier if we didn't steal so much of the big chief stuff, but let the man still be the brave. It's all right, here and there, when A woman becomes a governor, is elec- ted to Congress or takes her seat in the Senate. But we have just about as much of this female brave stuff as we want. Of course. T don't mean that womeh should continve to work the squaw racket. although there are millions of women who are still doing it. Theyv ean be just real women without beine either noisv braves or dimny sauaws. We have vet to find our proper pattern for wom- en’s life.

Another treatment is to soak the feet in a basin of hot water for about five minutes, If you can add | a generous handful of salt to the water it will make the treatment much more | effective. If you haven't time for this, and your feet are aching, pull off your | shoes and stockings, sprinkle talcum | over your feet, and give each one in | turn a quick, vigorous rubbing over both feet and ankles, then put on fresh stockings and another pair of shoes. This is surprisingly restful and cer- tainly takes but little time. Another way of making the feet comfortable, particularly if you wear high-heeled shoes, is to walk around the house for five minutes or so in flat-heeled felt bed room slippers. The change of po- sition allows the feet to relax. If you can afford a pedicure once a | month, as many sensible women do | these days, arrange to have it in the middle of your very busiest day. You will come away from it so refreshed that you can carry on the re:t of the day without any fatigue. If your feet 19,813 WORLD-FAMOUS BEAUTY EXPERTS ADVISE PALM marred from acne. Gradually there will be a lessening of the blemishes, and as the texture of the skin refines the little pits will disappear. Bleaches do nothing in such cases, as they are very drying and would only irritate the tender skin. Stimulate the action of the skin all over the body and keep the pores active; in fact, never omit the daily full bath. If skin is dry, give it a light massage with a fine cream whenever needed, and always tone the sk'n over neck and face after every relaxing cleansing. Do this with very | cold water or an ice rub for a few minutes. Delicious Dish. Mix thoroughly one pound of ground beef, one pound of ground pork, add two tablespoonfuls of chili powder, three eggs, and salt to taste. Then add about a heaping tablespoonful of flour, or enough to make the mixture stiff enough to mold with the hands in the shape of oysters. Place in a baking pan, into which one large can of tomatoes has been poured. Bake for one hour. MAY 26, 193 OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI. Most of what we call happiness con- sists of memories. Memories are the ghosts of experiences. First they give us power to do and to bear and to achieve. Finally they glorify the shad- ows that gather about us and send us hfie in the glory of a sunset, toward & star. Peppermints in church and a kindly old gentleman whose blue eyes smiled in benediction. The cool sweet smell of lavender in granny's room and a vision of her sewing in her rocking chair. Crushed musk under foot in an old garden with granny holding us by the hand and telling about the wee folk who lived in the thimbles of the foxgloves. A field of clover and timothy, a yellow cow with a black moist niose knee-ceep in the shade. A cricket in the old stone wall and a whip-poor-will down in the valley. Old Jack barking a welcome as we raced home from school. The smell of a freshly whitewashed wall, fresh straw in a new-made stack, the perfume of apple blossoms drifting thorough scrubbing with brown soap; that had been dried in the sunshine and stretched on the bed without bene- fit of irons. The old clock striking 8. A little school house on a sandy hill; the smell of newly varnished wood, of thorough scrubbinfi with brown soap: of new cedar pencils. The map of ictures showing a volcano in erup- ion and a boy and a girl whose hats | had floating streamers, racing down its slope. A blue ticket with “For a Good Boy” printed in old English upon its fair face. A meadow strewn with gray bowlders and bunches of blue violets. Blue pud- dles and snow-white geese. The feel of April in the shifting wind. ‘The feel of soft moss under a bare foot; the shock of cool water in the pool. The joy, breathless and exultant, at finding & May apple in bloom. The fearful sound of & bullfrog in a hollow Iog. The love and strength in father's hand as he held our hands in the scramble up the hill in the peace of 8 Sabbath morning. The gentleness in his voice as he told us the stories of the old country, and the new. The color of his tie, the smell of his pipe, the trick of twisting his mustache when he was hiding a_smile. The light in the eyes of the teacher when he handed us a diploma tied with gay ribbons.

With age Prederick the Great did not relax the vigilance which had helped to establish his_authority as the greatest monarch in Europe: In 1785, when he went to the army maneuvers in Silenia, he was past 73. Rain fell in torrents, but he stuck to| his horse for five hours, not even put- | ting on his cloak. Many foreign of- ficers, among them Lafayette, Lord Cornwallis and the Duke of York, were present, and he willed that they should be witness to the stuff of Prussian firm- | ness. When he came back to headquar- ters, finally, water poured from his boots as though from pails. It was the beginning of his end. He caught & cold which he could not throw off. A week later he suffered from a fit of suffocation. In January, 1786, symptoms of asthma and dropsy ap- peared. He no longer could sleep ex- cept in an armchair.

They can irritate the skin and make it unattractive, sensitive, rough. That is why we specify Palmolive.” The choice of world’s experts Unless it was truly unusual, no soap could win the approval of the great beauty specialists as Palmolive has. And 19,813 experts, all over the world, advise Palmolive, you know. They consider it best because they have tried it, their lovely patrons have used it, and found its results superior to ordinary soaps. Vegetable oils have a unique action in soap. They make it not only efficient, but gentle and soothing in its action. Certain women have a notion that they cannot use soap on their face. That is probably because they are using the‘wrong kind of soap. A vegetable oil soap is safe for the most sensitive skin, and it leaves the surface of the skin smooth and lovely.
