WOMA N'S PAGE.' ROYAL HE-MEN OF HISTORY Charles VI of France Rode 450 Miles in Four and One-half Days to See His Queen. BY J. P. GLASS. The fair ladies of Montpelier fluttered about ihe young monarch like but- les. Charles VI of France seems really to have loved the fair lady, Isabella of Bavaria, whom he married at Rheims on_November 4, 1380. Charles was called “the Well-Beloved.” He was a lovable chap, fond of sport, brave in battle, good-natured and un- derstanding. An adventure of his early married days shows the sort of man he was. He was then traveling over his domain, showing himself to his people, and insti- tuting popular reforms. From Toulouse he started back toward Paris, sleeping the first night at Cha- teau Neuf d’Aulroy, and then continuing to_Montpelier, where he was so mag- nificently entertained that he remained for three days. The fair ies of Montpelier fluttered ut the young monarch like butter- ies, doing everything in their power to use him; but Charles was sighing in- wardly for Isabella. To his brother, the Duke of Touraime. who accompanied him, he said: “I wish we were in Paris, for I have a great desire to see the, queen.” He smiled at the duke. “I suppose,” he went on, “that my desire to see the queen is no greater !'!’I'Irl yours to see my sister-in-law, your e “My lord,” retorted Touraine, “we shall never get there by wishing it; the distance is too great.” ‘This was true, for Paris lay 150 leagues from Montpelier—that is to say, about 450 miles. (Some accounts give the dis- tance as 191 leagues, or 573 miles). Charles considered this distance. “I think, if I pleased,” he told the gu“k‘e!,u“thl! I could very soon be in “Then it must be by dint of hard rid- ing,” said Touraine, “and not ctherwise, and I can do that, too.” “Come,” challenged the king, “who will be there first—you or 1? Let us wager on it." ‘The Duke of Touraine loved money gunyA He bethought himself, now, at he was sturdier than the king. “With all my heart,” he answered. “What amount shall the stake be?” Charles suggested 580 fracs. The . duke accepted. They set off the next morning. Charles took one route, the duke another. Four and a half days later Charles reached Paris and rode at once to the Hotel de Saint Pol, where the queen and the duchess lived. As he entered he was confronted by the duke. He this is, if you had made the journey in four and one- on the beach, that third days, sparing himself by riding the shaving every part of the way on the Seine in & boat. “My lord,” he cried triumphantly, “I have won the wager; order me to be ata. p“!t shall de done,” said the king, but he was crestfallen, “I was so weary that I slept eight hours at Troyes, in Champagne,” he sighed, “That was how you beat me.” Isabella did not make Charles an ideal wife. He was beset with troubles. His nobles quarreled, and England invaded and captured Normandy. Instead of be- ing a comfort to him, Isabella was guilty | of bad conduct that Helped to unsettle his reason. (Copyrisht, 1930.) Superfluous Hair. Superfluous hair is an unnecessary affiiction. Except where the hairs actu- ally grow from & mole, they are so eas- fly removed that I cannot see why women tolerate them. Yet I have seen quite young and otherwise nice looking women going about with moustaches and really decided beards. There are a lot of ways of removing superfluous hair. You can get various forms of wax, which hardens around the hair and rips them out, not exactly nb{v the roots, but which rips out all of each hair, Other hairs grow in, for several usually lie in each follicle, but at least you are no worse off than be- fore, and you can always use the wax again, It sounds unpleasant to pull out 80 many hairs, but it is not. It is a very good ‘way to remove hair from arms and x«:. & valuable thing to know during the bathing suit season. For odd hairs along the eyebrows and for large hairs around the mouth and chin, use the tweezers. This treatment costs nothing! For the fuzz above the mouth use per- oxide, which bleaches these’ weak little hair and eventually kills them. Wi, over the skin with cotton soaked fresh peroxide, let it stay a minute and wash off, Hairs between the eyebrows can be treated with wax or tweezers. The un- der arms and the legs can be shaved, but use a safety razor.

In early years play ought to supply that occupation, but as they grow older work gradually edges in and play changes 1ato some kind of self activity, some kind ot serious occupation. If that change does not begin in adolescence the child is in danger. Now it is not possible for a child to ehange his nature overnight. We often say, “And suddenly he changed.” No change is sudden. The roots of the THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE change from rather ¥ purposeful activity, did not come, can- not come, without a series of experiences that led to and encou: the growth. Children are thoughtless, They can live in a household seething with jobs under way, jobs waiting to be done, jobs everywhere, and never lift a hand to hlls. Their attention must be directed to them: When you are doing g about the house and the boy or girl stops to watch, explain what it is you are doing and press them into service for a short time, Gradually in- crease the time and vary the experience until the child can do that one thing independently. It is astonishing how soon one well set activity helps to engender lnot‘:’ar, some bit of responsibility confidently and well. This is necessary for the next phase of growth, It is not easy to work with a child ha g to you, but that is the way one to work if one has children. Indeed, the children often lulvgly the motive for the working. Then let them have their share in the work that means so much to their growth and their in- ulxhenoe‘ ties for useful work did with the ing of the coun- try me. The city and town home offers work and good work, for children. It will train a girl's hand and mind to run a vacuum _cleaner, thoroughly cleaning & room, floor and walls, cush- fons and eracks. Nor will it hurt a boy any to clean and polish a car. And answering the telephone, keeping a bath room bright, polishing faucets and mir- rors, bringing in the newspapers and the milk, attending to waste papers. and washing the bottles, are good be- ginnings for ‘serious work.

Two colored (?) comedians take the air. Between 6 and 6:15 telephone conversations are re- duced to actual necessity, sales at the show houses reach the day's low level, the delayed home-goer tarries at some Joud speaker along the street, the man without a radio steps outside his apart- ment to catch what happens to filter out from a more prosperous window. ‘We are face to face with a psychologi- cal “propolition.” The “sityation” must be explained. One famous psychologist says that we are living in an age of repressions, and [that Amos 'n' Andy have come forth with the salt of salvation. That salt | is laughter, which in all times and in all places has proved to be a mental narcotic. All you have to do is sit, listen, and imagine that you are one of “nature’s darlings.” At 6:15 you resume your burden of repressions, anticipating another respite 24 hours later. Is this all true? Perhaps. It seems to me that the explanation is incomplete. Busy people rarely ex- perjence repressions. ~Amos 'n’ Andy tell us what it means for people to have leisure time and how they use it.

Fair and as blond as any Scan- dinavian, he ‘still remembers the land of his birth. He is ever eager to Tecognize those of his blood. Skien, Norway, his birth- place, still holds an attraction for him. And on his several trips abroad he manages to visit his native land. For quite a while now he has had pending pefore the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds a resolution in which he has shown the deepest interest. He wants the new Memorial Bridge over the Potomac to Arlington, now un- der construction, named after that Swedish-born American patriot, John Ericsson, and also to name the boule- vard approach to the bridge “Ericsson Boulevard.” HARDLD KNUTSON, who represents Co Ask Knutson about Ericsson and he will unhesitatingly tell you that it is his opinion that he, next to Lincoln and Grant, did more than any other man to save the Union, : “Born in Sweden,” he says, “Ericsson was a great American patriot. “It was he who devised the Monitor, which enabled the North to maintain the blockade and win the war. He in- vented the turret for large guns and his invention of the screw bropeller drew the corners of the earth together.” ‘The Memorial Bridge, which extends from the classic Lincoln Memorial on the Washington side of the Potomac to . \ the beautiful-slopes of Arlington on the Virginia side, is to be a link between the | North and the South. And for the res- son that Knutson believes that Erics- son provided the means for the North and South together, he thinks what he propeses would be most fitting. | ""At “present there is & statue of | Zricsson in Potomac Park, but Xnutson | thinks it is not in keeping with the out- standing service he performed for this country. | Washington is awaiting the appear- ance soon of a series of letters by Edith | Benham Helm, written from Paris at the time of the Peace Conference fol- lowing the World War. . | Mrs, Helm, as Edith Benham, was | social secretary to Mrs. Woodrow Wil- | son for some years prior to and during | President Wilson's famous trip to Paris. | In that capacity, she accompanied the Wilsons to Paris and was an eye and ear witness to many historic events on | that occasion. | _ Her romance with Admiral James | Meredith Helm of the United Staiss | Navy had mun during her White | House days it was to him that she wrote these letters. Shortly after her return from Paris she married Admiral Helm and contin- ued to take an active part in Washing- ton affairs until her husband’s death several years ago. PO Apple Cobbler.
