' CELEBRATED GOLD-DIGGERS Mme. Du Barry Paid With Her Life For Loyalty to Monarchy. BY J. P, GLASS. “MERCY, SIR! MERCY! It would have been far better for monarachial France if Marie Jeanne Gomart de Vaubernier. Countess du Barry, had not ensnared the fancy of Louis XV. She was just 25 when her ascendency over Louis began. He was nearing 60. She encouraged him in the maddest ex- travagances, herself spent huge sums in magnificent living, and drove from him the counselors who might have rescued him. The end of her supremacy, which came with the death of Louis in 1774, found the country completely de- moralized and impoverished. Mme. du Barry was frivolous, shallow | ;X:Id incapable of deep or logical think- g. When the Revolution broke out she ran every risk to assist those among her noble friends who were in trouble. She had retired from court with a large fortune. In the dire straits of | Louis XVI and his poor queen, Marie Antoinette, she was among those who | supported them most firmly, though the Queen had coldly snubbed her on previ- | ous_occasions. “My fortune is completely at the serv- | fee of your majesty,” was the message | she sent to Marie Antoinette. In order' BUT ONE MOMENT MORE!" | that she might not offend the Queen, | she made her offer in the humblest way | possible. i |~ So completely was she loyal to the old | regime that she sacrificed her jewels and | large sums of money to mitigate the | cruelties of imprisonment or banish- | ment suffered by the royalty and the | nobility. Her actions were taken de- spite the consideration that they might mean death for her. | _She paid the penalty. The anger of | the Revolutionary party was turned to |her. She was dragged before the | tribunal and sentenced to death. She did not live up to the tradition {of most of the victims of the guillotine, | who met death calmly and unafraid. She broke down and wept. Her last | words to the executioner were an ago- | nized plea: “Mercy, sir! Merey! but | one moment more!" The picture of her last days would have been the finer had her resolution at the very close been the firmer. De-) spite this, and her sins, she must have a measure of admiration for her loyalty to her friends—a loyalty that brought death, and which she probably knew | would bring death. (Copsright, 1930.) PERSONAL HEAETH SERVICE BY WILLIAM Good, 01d Poison-Ivy Days. Schopenhauer, the grumpy old pessi- mist, -explains why the long vacation seemed so much longer when we were kids than it seems to us now. Don't read Schopephauer, though, not until you are over 50. Keep your illustions as long as you can. But when you do grow up—and out—you'll get all the more kick out of Grumpy. Some of our literary critics declare an author must first live before he can write effectively about life. By that rule a doctor must first have a disease before he can hope to understand it. I do not entertain any such notion, but | I tell the reader that I have had all seven kinds of itch and there is very little other experts or authorities can tell me about the subject. I've worn special Winter underwear, had cater- pillar hives, battled Cape Cod mos- quitoes, encountered Hudson River bugs, caught scabies, helped myself thrice to orthoform erythema and finally com- pleted my education in itching with a postgraduate course in ivy dermatitis. All these preliminary itches are annoy- ing. and the orthoform (chemical) ery- | thema is exasperating and more so with each successive attack, but a person has not really itched until he has had a Summer and Autumn outing with Ivy Dermatitis. Poison ivy grows as a low shrub or a vine climbing upon a wall or tree. Dis- tinguish it from barmless vines or shrubs by its compound leaves, each having three leaflets; the familiar wood- bine or Virginia creeper often mistaken for poison ivy has five leaflets. Poison jvy leaflets are irregularly notched on. one side and have usually a velvety covering of fine hairs underneath. wvine or plant bears small inconspicuous yellowish green flowers in early Sum- mer, in clusters, and these develop in the Autumn into small globular smooth THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE BRADY, M. D. green fruits which finally become ivo or white when ripened. One of the best protective measures where you must work or play in prox- imity to poison ivy is a smearing of the exposed skin with common yellow soap lather, Of course, this will Jot last Jong. If the exposure is proionged, smearing the skin with ordinary gear grease or axle grease is more satisfac- tory. Then in either case the exposed skin should be repeatedly bathed with many rinsings of soapy water in order to remove any of the ivy toxin that may be on the skin. ‘The poisonous principle of Rhus toxi- codendron is very similar to the only toxins we know as such—the poisons produced by the growth and multipli- cation of certain disease germs. Being of such character, the ivy toxin is ca- pable of producing in a susceptible in- dividual a specific immunity, just as diphtheria toxin does. At least we be- Heve this is so. We now have available a concen- trated poison ivy extract which has proved exceedingly effective, when ad- ministered hypodermically as a remedy for ivy poisoning, in most cases one or two doses bringing a prompt recovery and almost invariably putting an end to the intolerable itching within 24 hours. Any doctor anywhere can ad- minister this treatment, which is pro- vided by various reputable biological laboratories. For the first-aid treatment of ivy best, remedy is perhaps tincture of iron chloride, diluted half and half with water and applied as a Jotion to the affected or exposed skin four or five times a day. 5 (Copyright, 1930.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Introverts or Extraverts? A reader wants to know if it would be better for him to “choose his friends from among the introverts or from among the extraverts.” ‘That question is about as answer- able as the ancient riddle “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” One needs to know first whether the inquirer is an introvert or an extra- vert. It must be clear to any one that the shy, silent, day-dreaming, moody along pretty well with each other. It must also be plain that the talkative, ener- fi!th‘, friendly, easy-mixing extraverts nd congeniality with their kind. After all these distinctions are made we are still faced with a more funda- mental question, “Are there any real extraverts, any pure introverts? ‘The answer is, “Not many.” They are really so few in either class that they don't make much difference one way or the other. The distinction between introverts and extraverts, while valid in some few instances, is merely nominal. The aver- | age man is what counts in all practical social situations. And this average man | is neither an extravert nor an intro- vert. He 13 sometimes one, sometimes the other. He is an ambivert. ‘The one big thing to keep in mind is that some psychological terms and de- scriptions are apt to be taken too seri-| ously by the average man. (Copyright, 1930.)

You really do need a few uninter- rupted hours if you are going to make a success of painting old furniture. Then you need & good paint brush and the right sort of paint and that is about all, save sandpaper, and possibly turpentine and some old rags. You don't need to know much about painting, as skill can be acquired through patience and application. You can _very much improve the ap- pearance of any bedroom in your house where you have a miscellaneous collec- tion of old furniture if you paint it all to match. It may not match in design or wood, but at least you can give it the same_tone. In your living room you doubtless have better furniture and’this does not need to match. But where the furni- ture has been collected at random, re- sultant of necessity, then uniformity of color and finish is desirable.

Before you begin any painting, your pieces of furniture should be made ready. Preferably you should remove all ces of former paint or varnish, but if you are not willing to go to this pains, then be sure that the surface is pcr{rr(l\' clean and smooth. Wash the surface thoroughly with a strong soap solution and hot water, then rinse and let dry thoroughly. Use pumice stone or fine sandpaper to work down any roughness.

She left the children with the grand mother and worried about them nearly all the time she was gone—in true motherly fashion. In honor of Nancy's visit her cousin gave a beach party and brought all the rattan and striped canvas that folded and fastened into an easily carried bundle. She had the newest beach umbrellas and beach tables, with short firm legs. And the lunch was different. They had quahog cakes, made of one dozen chopped quahogs, one-half cup flour, one-half teaspoon cream of tartar, one- quarter teaspoon soda and one egg. This mixture was shaped into cakes and fried in a skillet heated over the beach fire. They had corn roasted in the embers, fresh lobster, Rhode Island Johnny cake With this they had cranberry conserve. And then they finished with watermelon, large pieces, icy cold.

A person’s inventiveness and in- genuity are also developed when away from sources of supply. Unexpected needs crop up. Articles break or wear out. New ones or substitutes are im- mediately required. Since shops can- not be visited without a trip to town which no one wants to take, the mind grapples with the idea of filling the need in some simple way possible with the resources at hand. In such a way primitive man must have learned to solve new problems as they arose in the course of civilization. It sharpens the perceptions and whets the enthusiasms to find out what to do and to create the needed thing. For example, a broom handle, sawed off 50 that it is 6 or 8 inches longer than a roller towel is wide, makes an excellent roller towel holder. About inch and a half from each end cut away the wood to make an indented circie_about the handle. Tie one end of a length of stout string or not too heavy cord about each of these in- dentations and hang the cord on two pegs or nails hammered nearly as far apart as the distance between these indentations on the handle. This arrangement is much better than suspending the holder on one peg, for the cord then slants upward so close to the holder that it catches the towel and prevents its being pulled or rolled over the handle. Such a towel holder pleases by its ingenuity and serves every purpose. ~ A stout round stick can be used instead of the broom handle. A few tightly rolled sheets of news- paper tied about the center and a loop made of the ends of the string supplies a satisfactory substitute coat hanger.

Try to see that they get plenty. Especially the baby. Don't be afrald to give him some cool water in his bottle between times. If he is fret- ful, remove all clothing possible, keep him from a direct breeze, and let him have another drink of water. ‘The children like fruit drinks. Water gels Tather uninteresting when you drink glassful after glassful. Lemonade and orangeads made with cold water that makes frost gather on the pitcher delights the thirsty crowd. And it is good for them. When the children have picnics they like to take bottled drinks with them. There is charm in drinking from a bot- tle and lots of fun. Why not? Put in a lot of good pop and make & party | of a party when the occasion comes. Only make certain that it is good. Study the label on the bottle. It is not wise to permit children to take drinks at open stands, but good bottled bev- erages are fine on high occasions like birthday treats and picnics. ‘Teach children with all the emphasis possible that they must never drink from wa; springs. Teach them the danger t lies in drinking a source that is impure. you how clean and sparkling and cool the water i, but you will have to tell them that unless they have been as- sured by some person in whom father and mother have confidence that the water is really pure, they must not drink it.

Animals are so grateful for a cool drink. Water, much water is needed in the warm weather. If a baby is fretful try a sip of cool water; try sponging him off and powdering him.

AUGUST 7. 1930. SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Consider the lilies of the woods and meadows round about Washington, and you will find none in spotless raiment like the Easter lilies. The three wild lilies go abroad in flaming colors, and you may know them lfmrt in this way: If you see a superb lily, it is Lilium superbum; if you see rather a dull lily, it s Lilium philadelphicum; if you see a lily at Bethesda or Terra Cotta (so the books tell me; I' have never been there) it is the Canada lily (don't ask me why!). Seriously, the Philadelphin lily 1is bell-shaped, with red petals of a rather subdued hue; the Turk’s cap lily, called “superb” has its flaring petals elegantly curled back, and is a tawny orange with brown spots. The Canada lily is usually yellow, with or without spots, it~ 1s sommetimes orange, and its petals curl back moderately. The most in- triguing because the rarest is the Canada Iily, though, in the District, the Philadelphia lily is rare too, nothing can make it the equal of the Turk's Cap lily, undoubtedly the queen and the sprite ot all Amegican lilies. In contrast with the rather senti-| mental legends about lilies of which the | local church mythology of Europe is replete, I like to think of the romantic history of lilies, considered as the gar- dener considers them. FPerhaps the oldest garden flower in the history of European gardens is the Madonna Lily, native of the Holy Land, and all the Eastern Mediterranean. The other gar- den lilies, except our native species, come from China and Japan, and many of them we owe to that prince-of-a~ plantsmen, who gave to Europe and America so many enchanting plants— rare wistarias and camellias and tea plants. The earliest Dutch and Portu- guese traders, in the spice trade, brought back Orfental lilies too; they came as part of the cargo, with cinna- mon and camphor and teak and tea. An Asiatic’ is the tiger lily which now seems thoroughly ours, because it flourishes in every country dooryard. Even the famed Bermuda Lily comes from Japen, China and Formosa, and is “Bermuda” only because the climate of that island was found favorable to it. So intense did the “lily fever” be- come in Bermuda that it was grown till the soil was exhausted; the plants, too, from forcing for eariy bloom, became exhausted, suddenly a fungus disease descended on the crop in its weakened state, and wrought great havoc. A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, A Needed Truth. “Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth."—Col. in2. The apostle does not mean that W are to ignore “things on the earth.” The material element is a vital part of our.life. But Paul would have us regard the material as a means to an end, not as an end in itself. ‘The temptation that besets us all s | to magntfy earthly things out.of pro- portion. In America this is fast be- coming a national sin. Our people are becoming possessed with an insatiable desire for riches. This perhaps more than any other one thing is responsi- ble for the small church attendance tle interest shown in spiritual things. One of the best passages ever penned { by Ian Maclaren were these words: ‘About one thing only we ought to be tween the people and Christ. If they homes and gardens and_schools and plenty would avail them little. for the kingdom of the people would unly end in a secular paradise, and the soul of the nation would die. It were better for the nation to be ill-fed and ill- clothed, better to have government, and only the poorest means tion of faith and the hope of a world 0 come. What lends glory to this earth is the arch of Heaven above us, and the sun which gives its color to the tiniest flower, and what lends dig- nity to life is the sense of eternity and the fellowship of man with God.” As never before our people need to have this great truth dinned into their st quality is always WE in many communities, and for the lit- | anxious, and that is the relation be-| should cease to believe in Christ, their | no share in | lof education, than fo lose the inspira- | FEATURKES, Perhaps I have used a misleading title, though I see no reason why any woman | {should object to the term of beauty | | treatments for a child.
