WOMAN'’S PAGE. Keeping the Home Up to Date BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A house has to be run something like @ coal furnace. The heater has to be stoked constantly, and with almost the same regularity it has to have the clink- 13 and the ashes taken out. The house inually provisioned and A CLOSET IS ONE OF THE FIRST PLACES TO GET CLOGGED WITH UNUSED GARMENTS. supplied with the necessary furnishings and equipment. It has also to have the waste and the discarded and useless erticles eliminated with almost the same orderly sequence. Neither the furnace nor the house can be well run unless these matters are attended to daily. It 1s not so much of a job to give this necessary care to a house if it is done systematically. When, through forget- ulness or some perfectly reasonable cause, such as the return after a vaca- tion, etc., the larder gets empty, it is a bit of work to resupply it. When, through neglet or some excusable cause, such as iliness, company or pressure of other tasks, a house gets littered with unwanted articles, it means work to get it freed from the useless things that add to labor without contributing anything to the good looks or the convenience of the place. The useless things of a house may be likened to the clinkers in a furnace. ‘They choke the draughts and stop the gmper functioning of the heater. The ousehold clinker does the same thing. ‘The unwanted articles clog the works end prevent the orderly running of the home because they take up the space Tequired for the new supplies, which are constantly accumulating. It is only when the way is cleared by the disposal of the unwanted things that the house- work can be accomplished with the leest labor and the rooms, closets and drawers can be in correct order. It is & constant surprise to a home- THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Becoming Frocks. A ular idea for Spring is this sukem&s.

Home in Good Taste BY SARA HILAND. It's pretty hard to tell whether this is going to please the bridge players or the non-bridge players more—this ar- rangement of bridge lamps. If you are a non-bridge player and have had the experience of getting nicely settled with a book in a big easy chalr, with a bridge lamp at just the right height, and then had the lamp suddenly pulled away from you toward a bridge table, you will give three cheers for these new twin lamps, for you know that they will spell peace for you. If you are a bridge player and have gone through the agony of getting & bridge lamp away from one of the “nons,” only to find that after the struggle there are glaring reflections, you will give four or five c!noen for the twins. Anyway, here they are, and they are inexpensive and guaranteed to keep geue in the family, not to mention ow easy they are on the eyes, for they do away with glare. The finish of these lamps may be medium green, black or Chinese red, and because both are taken care of by one socket, there is no trouble in ad- Jjusting them. (Copyright, 1930.) Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. July 3, 1864.—Mayor Richard Wallac of .the City of Washington hslju:: | recelved a communication from Capt. Seymour, engineer in charge of the Potomac water works, warning against the too free use of water from the aqueduct in sprinkling the streets of the city in the present dry season. Capt. Seymour refers to a recent letter he sent to the mayor, in which he said that the supply of water from the aqueduct is “ample, if judictously to keep the streets ‘quite free X added that they could not only be eprinkled, but they could be “showered” three ‘or four times every day by means of private street water plugs or carts. “The above statement,” says Oapt. Seymour in his latest communication, “was predicated upon the supposition that Congress would make an appro- priation for the superintendence, re- pairs and continuation of work on the aqueduct between the Great Falls and the receiving reservolr, which would enable us to draw from the Potomac whenever the supply in the reservoir became exhausted. “Inasmuch as Congress has stricken out the appropriation reported for the aqueduct in the miscellaneous appro- priation bill, it becomes my duty now to inform you that it will be necessary at once to resort to the most rigid economy in the use of the aqueduct water for all purposes, in order to insure even a small supply during the present dry season. “The water in the reservoir is get- ting quite low, and when that is ex- hausted the city must rely, as formerly, upon the surface washings that flow into the receiving reservoir from the surrounding country.” One of the most interesting recent arrivals at the river wharves here is the prize steamer Siren, which was captured off Cape Lookout by the Fed- eral steamer Keystone State while at- tempting to run the blockade into Wilmington, N. C. Acting Ensign C. M. Bird is in charge of the Siren, which is a small vessel of the pro- peller type, with a capacity of only 90 tons. She is painted light blue—the usual color of blockade runners. ‘When captured the Siren was loaded with whisky and a few bundles of hoop iron, which she had taken aboard at Bermuda. She carried the British flag when captured and it still flles at her masthead as she lies in the river here. Shrimps in Cucumber. Pare the cucumbers, which should be rather short, and cut them in halves lengthwise. Remove the seeds and steam the cucumbers until tender. Chill, then arrange on lettuce leaves or on a be of watercress. Clean and marinate the shrimps. If large, divide’ into two or three pieces. Mix with mayonnaise and place in the cucum- bers. Decorate with stars of mayon- naise and whole shrimps. Hang addi- tional shrimps over the edge to resem- ble oars. ' TONIGHT and fit) OF TEA YOU BuUY. D.

Our friends expect us to write to them when we are away on holidays— whether we spend two weeks at the shore or in the mountains or three months traveling abroad. And one of the most difficult things to do when we are traveling seems to be to write letters. The reason, probably, is that we so seldom carry proper letter-writing equipment when we go away. We carry everything else, from flat-irons to eles tric pads, to make our journeyings cox fortable, but we forget to carry a prop- erly fitted writing outfit. Such an outfit consists, primarily, of | rays of the sun for more than 20 min- | utes: the length of time may be grad- | ually increased after that. If you you a case of some sort to hold writing pa- per, stamps, blotter, envelopes and pen. If you use a fountain pen, the matter is s&nplified. If you don't, you must have with you some gort of inkwell that won't tip over or spill. There are such inkwells, and they are well worth while if you don't use a fountain pen. If you use a fountain pen, your little traveling desk may be smaller, therefore easier to carry. There are some as small as handbags, fitted with packets for paper and envelopes and little loops to hold the fountain pen securely in place. If you have a traveling color, you can carry it out with your traveling writ- ing ‘equipment. These cases come in red and green and biue, as well as in all shades of brown and in black. Students Out of Operating Room. There was recently dedicated in Paris & hospital pavilion for the treatment of the throats and noses of children, which is said to be the most complete of the kind. An ingenious organization permits 20 physicians to work at the same time and to give treatment to pa- tients, who, every morning, at the usual time, present themselves to the num- ber of 150 to 200. The two operating rooms may be completely sterilized and are reserved solely for the operator and his aides, for the students are in a special room. Their view of surgical interventions is ubtained from the interior of a glass cupola, which resembles in appearance the capot, or sighting hood, of a sub- marine. A loud speaker serves as the connecting link between the operator and the students. Throughout the avilion, moreover, there are many such loud speakers, by means® of which the arrival of physiclans is announced and word is conveyed to physicians if they are needed.
