OMAN’S PAGE, Expressing One’s Best Self BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Every person has something to give " %o the little world that she s in touch ‘with, and perhaps to the world at large. Few women appreciate this. The great hue and cry about self-expression that ‘was aroused a few years ago, but which Sortunately is subsiding today, had lit- o, A WOMAN WHO CONTRIBUTES COMFORT BY HER CHEERFUL PERSONALITY IS A BLESSING IN A SICK ROOM. tle in common with this idea of the in- herent ability of each one to contribute something to others. Self-expression means simply what 1t states in the term. “Self” was the per- #on to benefit, not those about him or her. In fact, the “self” was rather en- couraged to forge regardless of others and In spite of them. It is the realization that each one, the real “self,” has the po tribute to others, that is of vital im- portance. Incidentally there is way to express one’s best self contributing. In the home realm and in community life women are constant- ly expending themselves for others. It is important for each one to get some Tealization of what she has to give. Money is not a matter of moment just now in our considerations, but the “self.” Money may express genuine charity based on love of mankind, but it may also express vanity and pride in maker can contribute to the home is that element of peace without which home is not sanctuary.

The ready smile is not of the features, but of the whole person- ality. They help others to see the sun- ny side of life. They wrap a mantle of happiness about those with whom they come in contact. A cheerful dis- position is a natural foundation of this power, but many times the woman who possesses it has acquired it in the ex- perience of life. Realizing this, it be- comes apparent that others can get it. ‘The wer to make others happy is one of the greatest assets a person can have. (Copyright, 1930.) Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. June 20, 1861.—Six companies of United States Infantry, belonging to the 3d, 5th and 8th Regiments of Regulars, which left this city a few weeks ago to join Gen. Patterson’s command at Chambersburg, Pa., came back to Wash- ington this morning. They were imme- diately assigned to their former quarters in the first ward. At 1 o'clock this afternoon the 14th Regiment of New York Volunteers, with Col. James McQuade in command, from Oneida, N. Y, arrived here from Al- bany, where they have been encamped for the last three weeks. The regiment comprises 870 men in the rank and file. ‘Their uniforms are of dark blue cloth, trimmed with red cord. A letter from one of the District of Columbia Volunteers, point on the Potomac River above this city, and signed “S,” was made public in the press today. The writer, under date of yesterday, tells of recent firing across the river at the Confederates with grape and canister, and expresses the belief that some of the Confederates on the Virginia shore must have been killed or injured. He says the ultimate destination of the District Volunteer Regiment is not known. ‘The thousands of Union soldiers who are arriving here daily from the North and West no sooner get off the train than they are eager to find places to bathe, in order to remove the dust and grime of their long journeys. It was pointed out today that, unfortunately, many of them have ¥n bathing in the old city canal, which, unknown to them, is little more than a drain for the most populous portion of the city, into which the sewers empty. ‘The soldiers are advised to go just a little farther, to a place near the Wash- ington Monument, where there is excel- lent bathing without danger of con- tracting disease. The good swimmers and the beginners may have their sport at this place, without danger. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.

STRAW HATS We all are wearing fine straw hats, and have been now, for quite a while, permitted by aristocrats who govern the decrees of style. I know not who the mogul is who sets the date when we may wear the hats of straw and gayly whiz along the sunny thorough- fare. I'd like to wear one all the time, as through the seasons I advance, for I am living in a clime where Winter never has a chance. But some one has decreed a day when Winter headgear may be burned, when felt hats may be filed away—and who it is I've never learned. ,Some potentate whose name’s mislaid, some Caesar, his address un- known, the rod of empire thus has swayed, thus hath usurped a mighty throne. Why do I bow to his decree, as though it were by herald brought, and wait two weeks or even three to wear the hat I lately bought? In dreams I am & Willlam Tell, I will salute no tyrant’s 1id; I'll scrap for freedom pass- ing well, for liberty I'll make a bid, I feel T'd perish at the stake before I'd yield an inch of und; like Patrick Henry, I would e in Senates an in- spiring sound. I have the right to wear straw hats the whole year round, if I desire, and I should bravely answer “Rats” when told to cast them in the fire. But who is there with heart so stout that he can face the neighbors’ scorn, if in straw hat he blossoms out two days before the destined morn? I dream great dreams of noble deeds, of high emprise and dire duress; of rid- ing prancing armored steeds to rescue damsels in distress. But when it comes to we: lids, T must confess, with blush of shame, I do just as the tyrant bids, and do not even kng; his name. Beet Relish.

Accepting it, Chopin sat down at the plano, and, with that facllity which distinguished him, im- provised his waltz in F minor. It was at Marienbad, the next year, that Chopin asked Maria to be his wife. She consented. When he sought the approval of Mme. Wodzinski he obtained it; however, she requested that the en- gagement be kept secret. What course guided Mme. Wodzinski in this affair? We are forced to the conclusion that while she appeared to approve she was secretly opposed to Chopin. As far as her husband's atti- tude was concerned, she had no doubts. He would be bitterly hostile, both on the score of Chopin’s birth and on his health, which was delicate. She ylelded to the lovers; but she took Maria to ‘Warsaw. If we are to judge by Maria's letters to Chopin, we may conjecture that she would have made a good wife for him, &nmdinl his artistic and temperamen- 1 self with the sweet, calm refuge which her innate composure afforded.

Perfume. ‘The art of perfume making is literally as old as Egypt and from the earliest times perfumers have made use of the | glandular secretions of the red deer and the civet cat—musk and civet—as bases for their sweet perfumes. Even in ancient times ambergris, from the sperm whale, was used. and cedar and sandal- | wood were highly valued for their aromatic _qualities. N | It was Mme. de Pompadour of France, in the eighteenth century, who set the fashion for the more delicate perfumes, such as violet and rose, which gave better expression to her exquisite and coquettish beauty than the heavier musk perfumes that had gone before. Queen Elizabeth in England had been a great admirer of perfumes and de- lighted in scented gloves brought from Italy by one of her favorites. Her favorite scent was that of the damask | rose. | ‘There is some increase of favor now for the single-flower scents—hyacinth, | jasmine, rose, violet, etc. At the same time the demand for delicately blended bouquets goes merrily forward. But there does seem to be a differ- ence in the way women use perfumes within the past year or two. At large dances, the theater, at card parties, it is apparent that women are using per- fume less lavishly. And some women use it so lightly that it is impossible for any one nat possessing the keenest sense of smell to detect it at all.

Have a Guest Book. Every guest room, no matter how simple, should have a guest book. If there is a desk in the guest room, it should be laid prominently thereon. If there is not, then it should be placed where 1t cannot escape the observation of the guest. The guest room that has no desk is not really well equipped. Any sort of stand or table of conven- fent height for writing will answer the purpose. If there is a large blotter on this and the conveniences of writing— pen, ink and a little calendar, a few sheets of note paper and a little box of stamps—then you will have done much to further the comfort of your guests, The guest book should be promi- nently placed on this desk, with a small blotter left at the leaf Where the last guest has written.

RAN’DOM notes in & Washington day book : Probably the Navy's most silent man take command of the United States fleet next Fall when Admiral William V. Pratt’s assignment comes to an end. At least Rear Admiral Jehu V. Chase has that reputation at the Navy Department, where he has been serving as a mem- ber of the general board. Six feet tall, with blue-gmy _eyes, white hair, which is inclined to be curly, and & mus- tache that almost rivals that of Ad- miral Hughes, Rear Admiral Chase is a most distinguished looking officer. He was an impressive figure on the stand before the Senate foreign rela- tions committee, when that body con- ducted hearings on the London naval pact. Opposed to ratification of the treaty by the Senate, the future com- mander in chief of the fleet remained serene under the grilling he received at the hands of administration leaders. He lives in Washington at the Chevy Chase Club. His greatest hobby is mathematics. He is constantly scrib- bling on anything that is near him, figuring and working out problems hav- ing to do with Navy ordnance. ‘There are guns used by the Navy now which were designed by him as a result of this constant scribbling. Jot- ting down figures is about his only source of recreation. A graduate of the Naval Academy in the class of 1890, he was commissioned a rear admiral by President Harding in 1922, He will have the rank of admiral during the time he is in command of the fleet.
