You would probably find it too tedious |a matter to make all-over embroidery | eyelet for a jacket, hat or even a vestee, | but you will find it imple matter to | make eyelets on handkerchief linen or | coarser linen for a collar and cuff set or to make a little trimming at neck and wrists of a linen or cotton dress. The |material in which the eyelet work is to be done should be held very tight, pref- erably in a double embroidery frame. Material should be tight and firm when the bodkin is thrust in. Eyelets of even size are obtalned by pushing the bod- kin into the material to the same dis- tance each time. With embroidery cot- ton in your needle to match the mate- rial, fasten the cotton at the edge of the punched eyelet and then work in even over-and-over stitches all round. (Copyright, 1930.) NANCY- PAGE Keeping Young Children to Routine. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Vacations are somewhat upsetting in the family routine. Uncertain hours, meals at unusual times, long rides, early morning trips are not nearly as hard on grownups as they are on chil- dren. Nancy made up her mind that her young son would not spend his third Summer in an unhappy and haphazard manner. She studied the question of sleeping. First she found that he was fretful and wakeful when he had too many bed clothes over him. She discovered that the bright day light of Summer bothered him. Accord- ingly she had a second shade of dark green material put up in his bedroom. This darkened the room effectively and he was not awake at crack o'dawn. She found that it was almost impossi- ble for him to sleep when he grew over- tired. She saw to it that the hour be- fore bed time was spent in story-telling or quiet play. Another sleep disturb- ing factor was too much lemonade or | ice cream taken shortly before bed time. He had plenty of plain ice cream during the Summer, Xm. it was a part of his evening meal-and not an extra treat given just before he went to bed. She found that automobile rides in the evening when the lights were flashing by disturbed his sleep after he came home and was put to bed. The memory of those strange lights, looking so fearsome in the dark, seemed to_haunt him. Sometimes Nancy rebelled at the schedule she had to follow herself in order to keep the young son well, but she realized that after all keeping him well was her job and her responsibility: She could go back to & grownup roa- tine after he was a little older.

If you want for yourself the lovely, long, sweeping eyelashes that you ad- mire on your favorite movie star or some good looking friend of yours, here ;re some hints that may be of use you. Lashes do improve, in most cases, by being clipped back a little. So if you are willing to go for .a month or two with shortened lashes, you can trim them yourself. Use curved-blade mani- cure scissors, with the points turned out away from the eyes, bend close to your mirror in a good light and gently clip Off only the very tips of the hairs.

In the Winter when the air is cold there is an even | fr!wer tendency for the pores to clog. | n hot weather the skin is naturally | more active and throws off a super- | | abundance of cosmetics. Partly owing to the difficulty of keep- ing the skin smooth without being shiny, partly, also, owing to the fact | that it looks’ better in warm weather, less cosmetics are used. But if the skin | has any tendency to be dry or to| cream would be olive oil or else al- oughly into the face and neck, elbows, hands, arms, or wherever it's needed, and, after a thorough rubbing, all the surface oil rubbed off. Then, if you are going out, powder the skin thickly, pat- ting the powder on with a swansdown pufl. Don't make any attempt to rub it off, but let it stay on and absorb whatever oil remains near the surface of the skin. After a few minutes the skin can be powdered a second time, now with a velour powder puff, which spreads the powder evenly and at the same time takes off all surplus. In the warm weather the complexion will need more astringents than in the ‘Winter. It should have an ice rub nearly every day if there is any tendency to- ward wrinkles or coarse pores. An easy way to keep the skin nice is to cleanse it with cream or ofl. Wash this off with castile soap and warm water, then rinse the face by rubbing over it a wad of cotton saturated with witch hazel. This is a mild, not too drying astringent and is the basis of many expensive skin fresheners. Incidentally, it is a mar- velous way to remove cold cream when you haven't time to give the skin a thorough soap-and-water cleansing. You must not let your complexion sunburn too much; sunburn is healthy, ::t like all good things it can be over- ne. C. L.

Dear Miss Leeds—(1) My hair used to be naturally wavy and glossy, but since I have been having very poor health there is scarcely a wave in my hair and it looks dull and lifeless. Would my physical condition cause this? Would the warm-oil treatments help my type of hair?> What shall I do| to restore the natural wave? (2) I have medium brown hair, hazel eyes and a medium complexion. What colors are becoming for my type? (3) I am 21 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall and 1 weigh 100 pounds. underweight? MISS HOPEFUL. Answer.—Yes, your poor health is the | cause of the lusterless and lifeless con- dition of your hair. It is one of the first things to show a rundown condi- tion of the whole system. Build up your health by wise diet, fresh air and sunshine and sufficient sleep. In the Arrange the waves meantime give your hair the warm-oil treatments before the shampoo. Mas- sage your scalp and brush your hair every night and morning. If your hair has a tendency to wave naturally, en- courage it by heatless curling methods. ‘ou may steam your hair by holding it near hot steam or applying hot towels. ‘When the hair is thoroughly warm and moistened arrange the waves into place with your fingers and comb. It would be a good plan to have a few special scalp treatments and a finger wave oc- casionally. Please send me a self-ad- dressed stamped envelope asking for my leaflet in which the warm-oil treatment and the scalp-massage movements, to- gether with suitable scalp tonics, are described fully. I have not the space to reprint them again-at this time. (2) You may wear peach, creamy flesh, medium raspberry, pink-violet, bottle green, reseda, warm tans, nut browns, amber, canary yellow, dahlia, dark, cold reds such as wine, Burgundy, garnet and ruby, ivory, eggshell and black if relieved with touches of bright color. (3) Your ideal weight is between 116 and 122 pounds. LOIS LEEDS. Plucking the Eyebrows. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) Is it all right to pluck the eyebrows that grow in scraggly and is it right to use a little eyebrow pencil when the eyebrows are very light in color and the hair dark brown? (2) Does walking strengthen one's legs or does it make one bow-leg- ged? Some one told me that it did. | (3) Please tell me & good face powder My skin to use. 1s rather dry. FLOREN( CE P. Answer.—Yes, the unruly hair may be plucked out at regular intervals to give the eyebrows a clear, well-groomed appearance. Apply a soothing lotion | such as witch-hazel first, however, and use a little cold cream or oil afterward. If the eyebrows are very scraggly, have your hair dresser give you an eyebrow arch at regular intervals and then keep them shapely and well groomed your- ceif by giving them a little attention every night and morning. Brush them into shape with a small eyebrow pencil to add a little color t0 them, or you may have your hair dresser apply a harmless coloring to them if you wish. (2). Walking is a splendid exercise for the whole body, including the lower { limbs. No, indeed, it does not make one bow-legged. See that your shoes are comfortable and that you have suffi- cient room so that the toes will not be cramped. Write for my leaflet on care of the feet; it will help you to give your feet the right care before and after long walks. (3) You will be safe in using the face powder of the well es- tablished and reliable firms that manu- facture this product. A fine, light- weight, emolent face powder of medium shade is suitable for your type of skin. I cannot recommend one particular brand in preference to another. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1030.)

They don't have the worst of it, believe me, and it is far better not to be married than to be badly married. And desirable husbands don’t hang on every tree. What causes a girl to be a hit with men is something nobody can explain. It is a matter of personality. Also, it is a matter of environment and of luck. Sometimes a girl gets into the wrong crowd. Sometimes she lives in an Adamless Eden. Sometimes members of her family shoo all the boys away and by keeping her too closely at home prevent her from making acquaintances. Very often the reason a girl doesn't have dates is because she is superior to the boys she is thrown with and she makes them feel uncomfortable, Sometimes the girl who never has any boy friends attracts older men, because she is more mature than the youngsters she knows. Whether going to & coeducational school makes a girl more popular with boys or mot is a debatable question. ‘The only advantage I see is that she establishes friendships with the boys who are her fellow pupils, but, on the other hand, sometims too well. lack the mystery of the strange girl. es this is a dis dvantage because the boys know the girls They are like sisters whose every fault they are familiar with and It is & mistake for girls who are not popular with boys to go about in bunches.

Simplicity in Decorating Homes BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. ) | | TR M L ), i i ‘THIS HALL EXPRESSES THE DIGNITY OF SIMPLICITY. “Simplicity is an exact medium be- tween too little and too much,” said the ‘Well, Nippy, I hopes nuffin’ resturbs at painter Sir Joshua Reynolds. It Een maxim every home decorator should keep in mind. By following it the charm of reserve and of restfulness are gained in interiors. Keeping a home orderly with a minimum of labor is fostered. The dangers are banished of over- | crowded rooms, of over-brilliant color schemes, too many ornaments and a super-abundance of furnishings. All these things are at variance with good decoration, which suffers more from “too much” in interiors than from “too lit- tle.” Simplicity is the keynote of cor- rect decoration. ‘The beauty of simplicity consists in having the right things artistically placed. Whatever is necessary for the | comfort of a family should be present. If -these things add to the decoration they should be featured. If they do not contribute beauty they should be quelled, made inconspicuous. If they suggest comfort and convenience, these very elements are in accord with the feature called cosiness, that is desirable in pleas- ing interiors. To that extent they do | not jar, provided they are of simple construction, and devoid of elaborate- ness. They are not “too much” for they are needed. The unnecessary things are “too much.” ‘The danger of “too little” in decora- us. I feels the need ob a good rest. (Copyright, 1930.) tion is slight for a home accumulates things like & magnet. But apart from this aspect which is altered by elimina- tion treatment, it is possible to have “too little” by not having the right things. For example the absence of & plano in & home where some member of the family is & pianist, or is eager to come one, expresses “too little. is constantly felt by the pianist, such other members of the family as delight in hearing her play, or who sym- pathize with her desire to study. Desir- able as a radio may be it does not fill this lack and few of the latter instru- ments are more ornamental than a small grand piano of simple lines and curves. Occasionally newlyweds find it difi- cut to avold the appearance of “too little” .in _some of the rooms of their house. They should realize that this is a temporary state, to be tided over by good arrangement, rather than by pur- chasing cheap and tawdry articles to fill in spaces. A few choice articles well placed can be made to appear adequate. By carefyl selection of fine pieces, and a determination not to have “too much” in their rooms, they soon come to the place denoted in the definition of simplicity by Sir Joshua. After that time they have to be on guard con- stantly not to accumulate “too much” and so mar the effect. By replacing the least desirable articles by those that are better, and not by ng to the articles can this necessary simplicity in decora- tion remain.

June 21, 1865.—A delegation of South Carolinians arrived in Washington this morning to seek an interview with Pres- ident Johnson with reference to various matters connected with the plans for the ruction of their State govern- ment. In the rrty are Jus Frost, J. H. Taylor, F. Richards, W. H. Gilli- hand, Dr. G. A. Macky, Col. William ghfley, Col. J. A. Yates and W. J. 3 Bishop Lynch of Charleston, 8. C., has made a special application to President Johnson for a pardon under the Presi- dent’s recent amnesty proclamation. ‘The orders directing the 1st New Y Cavalry, known as the “Lincoln Cav- ,” to proceed from this city to Louis- ville, Ky, have been countermanded. ‘The regiment is today back again in camp at Cloud’s Hill. It is understood that it will soon be mustered out of the service. It was announced at the War Depart- ment today that troops of the Veteran Reserve who have been trans- ferred to that corps from regiments that have been, or will be, mustered out under existing orders, will be honorably dis- [ from the service of the United States, if they do not desire to serve out the full term of their enlistments. Mrs, Seward, wife of the Secretary of State, died here this morning at 10:15 o'clock in the presence of all members of her family and a few devoted friends, who stood at the bedside. She was about 60 years of age and had been ill for about three weeks from bilious fever. Physicians who attended Mrs. Seward expressed the opinion that her fatal iliness was brought on by her constant attendance upon her husband and son, both of whom were injured by a would- be murderer on the same night that the Iate President Lincoln was assassinated by Booth. Both have recovered from thelr injurles. uence of Mrs. Seward’s death In the m«ument was closed today | to until further orders. Her remains, ac- been told that he was sitting on the “I WON'T,” REPLIED PETER, GOOD- NATUREDLY. roof of that new house, when all the time he was sitting on the bank of the Smiling Pool, where he had sat many times. Of course, he hadn't believed that he was sitting on the roof of a house. He hadn't believed it and had saild s0,. and now it had turned out that after all he had been sitting on the roof of Jerry’'s house. You see, Jerry's new house was in the ground. It was in the bank of the Smiling Pool, with the entrance under water, and it was exactly under where Peter had been sitting. Peter wisely decided not to be angry. He presently saw how funny it all was and he began to chuckle. Redwing the Blackbird chuckled with him. It was | Redwing who had finally explained the joke to Peter. Finally, Peter looked up W. BURGESS at Redwing. “I suspect that Jerry Muskrat is laughing at me right now,” said Peter. “I know I would be laughe ing if I were in his place. But I am going to get even with Jerry and then it will be my turn to laugh.” “How are you going to get even?” Redwing asked. “Watch me!” replied Peter. “Just you watch me and you'll see how I'm going to _get even.” Now, Peter knew that in all probabil- ity Jerry Muskrat's bed room was up quite near the surface. He knew that there must be a long hall from the water leading up and that a little way |under the sod must be Jerry's very comfortable bed room, So Peter hopped back a little way and suddenly he thumped the ground with his stout | hind feet. He thumped as only Peter can thump. Then he hopped on a step or two and thumped again. He hopped off to one side and then to the other side each time he thumped. He thumped and ‘- he thumped hard all around where he thought the roof of Jerry's home might be. Finally, he | hopped over to the edge of the bank and looked down into the Smiling Pool. Jerry Muskrat was just starting |to cllmb up the bank, and it was plain | to see that Jerry was in a bad temper. Peter chuckled. “Hello, Jerry sald he, pretending to be surprised. “Where did you come from?" “So 1t was you!" snarled.Jerry, for he was still very angry. fq 1t was you pounding on the roof o my house! I might have known it. I'll teach you not to try that trick again!" “I was thumping, if that's what you mean,” said Peter. “T often thump. How was I to know I was on the roof of your house?" “T told you you were on the roof of my house when I saw you last,” re- torted Jerry. “True enough” replied Peter. “T remember now. But you didn't explain what you meant. I have thumped on | this bank many times and there was no house here then. Don't you think we are even, Jerry?" Jerry Muskrat started an angry re- ply, but changed his mind and finally grinned. “I guess we are, Peter,” sald he. “I had a lot of fun with you and now you've had a lot of fun with me, So I guess we are even. Be a good l{»mlyw and don't thump on my roof | again.” | “I won't” replied Peter, good-na= | turedly. 1930) (Copyright, OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL The Reticent 'Teens., ‘Young people in their ’teens keep themselves to themselves a great deal. “My boy and girl used to tell me everything.
