WOMAN’S PAGE.' Pattern for Pajama Costume BY MARY This is a rather more complicated design tnaw thosc usually given in this column, but so many readers have asked for a diagram pattern for a pajama cos- tume that we are giving it in as simple form as possible. To cut the piece for the front of the pajama bear in minds the following di- mensions for an average figure. AB, 26 inches; BC, 14 inches; AF, 3 inches: FI, 4 inches; DE, 12 inches; EC, 19, and GH, 8'; inches. On the back: ab, 26 inches; cb, 9 inches; ed, 9 F PRINTED CREPE PAJAMAS TRIM- MED WITH SOLID COLOR MAY BE USED FOR NEGLIGE OR IN- FORMAL HOUSE COSTUME. inches; db and ec, 19 inches; af, 3 inches: if, 4 inches; gh, 812 inches. For the trousers bear in mind that AF, 40 inches; AP, 16 inches: DE, 18 inches FG, 9!, inches: BE. 21 inches; AB, 7 inches:” AC, 12 inches, and CE, 17 inches. To cut the trousers fold a piece of paper 42 inches long and 36 inches wide in two, so that you have two pieces 18 inches’ wide and 42 long. Where the crease comes indicate AF. Cut the up- | per side like ABGF and the under side like ACEGF. The top plece represents the front of the pajamas and the under- piece the back. Open the paper and cut two pieces like this unfolded section, one for each side. Seam the two pieces together in French seams, joining both edges marked CE and both edges marked BE. ‘This is for the section around the hips of the trousers. Then seam up the legs of the trousers along EG in a French seam. Cut back and front of jacket double with AB and ab on lengthwise fold of materfal. Join front and back with edges EC and ec joining and make a NANCY PAGE When Play Equipment Fi; Child Is Happy. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘When Martha returned from Paris, she had many tales to tell of the adorable children who played in the | French gardens. The children were | well dressed and well behaved. Possi- | biy part of the good behavior came | from the fact that they had the right | kind of toys and play equipment. | A simple piece of equipment that really served two or three purposes| was made by laying a_ smooth board across two low wooden horses. The children could climb up, jump n, walk the plank and in many ways be co-ordinating muscles while they were apparently doing nothing but playing and having a good time. Then, later, the board could be taken from one of the ‘horses and balanced on the remaining one. is gave a teeter-totter that was great fun. Since the horse was low, it Wwas necessary that only short-legged children try to teeter. It was equally that it be low for small chil- dren, so that they would not have so far to fall if they should tumble, ‘The sand box which Peter had en- Joyed all Summer had been many won- derful things. At times it was a boat. ‘Then again it was a train. or a fort. ‘This particular box was so built that a of uprights could be attached at cen- of sides. These uprights supported a small awning which kept the sun away from busy little boys and girls. ‘The small boy had had so much fun out of his sand box that his father lanned to move it into the children’s MARSHALL. | French seam. Similarly join GH and{ gh for the shoulder seam. Make a hem around the square neck opening, along the lower edge of the top section and around armholes. Make a hem along tne lower edge of the trousers and put a rubber tape through a hem in the top. My Neighbor Say: An inexpensive enamel, glass or nickel rod, screwed to the inside of a closet door, makes’an ideal place to keep hand towels and a face cloth. When the upper part of a double botler leaks it may be con- verted into a steamer, if several holes are punched in top with a pointed nail. ‘Wax preparations should be used for oak. Oak dining tables, when no cloth is used, need con- siderable care. Overwaxed tables collect dust, and this gets rubbed in until the surface becomes dull. Overwaxed tables should be washed. Cut flowers in your garden in the early morning before the sun has dried them and put them in water in a deep pan for an hour before arranging in bouguets or vases. The water will then get into the stems and the flowers will keep fresh much longer. ‘When preserving plums, if you wish them to retain their shape and size, prick the skins in two or three places before you start cooking _them. Should an egg have been boiled too long, it can be softened again by lifting the saucepan off the fire, quickly placing it under the faucet, and allowing a good stream of cold water to run onto it. The sudden shock of chang- ing from hot to cold water has the curious effect of softening the egg. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Orris Root Shampoo. ) Dear Miss Leeds—It seems that I have read something in your column | about the use of orrls root for ofly | hair. Would you be so kind as to tell me the quantity and how it is used? I| have to shampoo my hair at least once | a week, and even then it is oily in about | three ‘or four days. What would you | suggest? MUCH DISTRESSED. | Answer—The dry shampoo made with | ! orris root is very good and is one which | | has been in use since grandmother's | i day. It is made by combining a coarse | | grade of white or yellow corn meal with | the arris root. Use three parts corn | meal to one part orris root and mix it | | very thoroughly.- Put the mixture into a | can with a perforated top, so that it can ) be sprinkled on the scalp when using. | An empty talcum powder can makes a satisfactory container. | In giving the dry shampoo_ sprinkle the mixture generously over the entire | scalp and then massage it in with the | fingers. Next take a brush and, taking | a small strand of hair at a time brush every strand of hair this way, brushing | it upward and outward. This will re- move every bit of the corn meal and | orris root mixture and will leave both hair and scalp beautifully clean. The | oil will be absorbed and you will find ‘that alternating your soap and water shampoos with this dry shampoo has THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

Dear Miss Leeds—I am 5 feet 3% inches tall and my welght 1s 143 pounds. I am 20 years old. How much over- welght am I? I gained this weight from childbirth; before -that time I weighed 118 pounds. Do you think I will Jose this without a diet? My baby was stillborn, and that was eight months ago. Since that time I have been gaining conitnuously. If you don't think I will lose this weight would you advise a diet and what kind? RS. A. D. Answer—You_ are about 20 pounds over the normal weight for your height and age. Undoubtedly this condition is caused by your unfortunate experi- ence: it is quite possible that the glands which control weight have not been functioning properly since that time. I could suggest scveral special diets which would make the excess pounds go, but dieting without the advice of a phy- sician js never very wise; and in your case I most certainly would not wish you to do so. My advice to you is to see your physician and after an examination he will be able to suggest a diet which will help you reduce and yet will not imperil your health. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1930.)

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Your Husband's Capital. When conditions are unfavorable or business is in the throes of a tem- porary depression, wives inquire about their husbands' lines of business. Each somehow feels that if the husband were doing something else he would be making as much as Mr. Jones, next door. Women unfamiliar with business are not aware of the fact that many a husband’s chief capital is his experi- ence in a certain line of business. For example, a silk salesman might do better in the construction business, for all one knows, but to change his business would mean to sacrifice: the following he has built up for maybe a score of years. In a new business he_would have to start anew. It is a mistake to believe that the opportunities in one line of business far overshadow those in another. There are leaders and millionaires in almost every field of business, starting with A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN. Fittest to Survive. “The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.’—Ecc. ix.11 We have talked a good deal about the survival of the fittest. But who are the fittest to survive? The fleetest? “The race is not to’ the swift.” The mightest? “The battle is not to the strong, We are living in an age of hurry. But with all our hurry, where are we getting? Charles Gilkey says, “We are going nowhere, 60 miles an hour.” In the midst of the rush and hurry of our modern life, we would do well to remember Tolstol’s story of poor Pakom, who was promised as much land as he could compass between the vising and setting of the sun. Pakom was fleet of foot, and com ed many acres, but at the end of his race fell dead from exhaustion; and all his race gained for him was a little plot of earth 3 feet by 6. Our age has magnified force and brute strength. Germany has no mo- nopoly on the philosophy that “might makes right.” That philosophy is re- flected in many of the methods prac- ticed in American politics, business and industry. We go too much on the idea that the only man who can get ahead is the man who can fight and whip the other fellow. Believing “the battle is to the strong,” we go forth to the field of battle with a flourish ot swords. We need to be reminded of the Master's teaching, “They that take the sword shall perish by the sword.” We need also to keep con- stantly in mind His saying, “Whatso- ever will be great among you, shall be your minister.” While there is a law of the survival of the fittest, there is a sement recreation room for the Win- He said that he would never think of hnndns up a child without a sand box.

Many a husband would get along faster and farther if his wife ceased to disparage his means of livelthood, and, instead, encouraged him to try bigger things within his own field. Ambition plus ability can succeed in any field, providing persistence is shown. The millowner was perhaps | once a bookkeeper, and the banker once The business head was once a salesman, and the architect once a draftsman. And so it goes. A man's chief capital is his train- ing, experience, knowledge and skill. Properly encouraged and aided, he can make that capital yield rich returns. a clerk. Beefsteak and Pork.

Such coats, with the flat edge, look especially well when the suit or frock beneath them has a white collar to turn back over the coat. Py Home-Making Life in Miniature BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. Living in cramped quarters has to be endured by so many homemakers that, when necessity demands it of them, it is wise to look at it in a whimsical way. Consider living in one, two, three or four rooms in the light of miniature homemaking and the point of view will palliate much of the mental Tepug- nance, Once the mind assumes -thi outlook, it is easier to put up with lack of space, for which no amount of mod- ern convenience can entirely make up. The woman who has been accustomed to plenty of room, enough closet space and that opportunity for freedom from continual personal contacts imposible to get in cramped living conditions is the one who finds adjustment to a small, or comparatively small, apart- ment a genuine trial. When such conditions #fe unavold- able, and it is hard to conceive of one submitting to- them otherwise, then is the time to ferret in one's mind for an attitude that will ease the strain and struggle for a broader physical horizon. It is the mental horizon that can re- tain its supremacy. It does not need to be hampered. Instead, it can open vistas of interest even in the cramped ‘Think of the dwelling as & miniature of the house ly occupied. See itchenette the condensed larger 1| and insufficient area. in the tiny good features of the Toom. closets are all within easy reach out the steps once required. Thiok of the small space in the terms of floor care. Then the miniature has its appeal! It is in the matter of household care that an apartment can be found to have its good points. .There are fewer clos- ets to clean. Aj first they will be in- adequate to your demands, but you will learn to get along with fewer frocks, or less of something for the sake of being less crowded. You will also ac- quire the ability to condense things into small space without harming them, since in a miniature place space is valuable. ‘The fact that there is less of every- thing to care for, less paint to clean, fewer \windows to wash, fewer lighting fixtures to keep immaculate, fewer rugs to sweep or vacuum clean, etc., can all be put on the credit side of the equation. In this sort of miniature housekeep- ing, the homemaker is relieved of sev- eral tasks that would fall on her to do, or to see to, for instance, sweeping the sidewalk, emptying the garbage, tend- ing the furnace, cleaning the halls, ete. All of these things that take strength or time or both are seen to by the janitor.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. August 30, 1861.—Federal military authorities were apprised today that many deserters from the Union Army are dally crossing Chesapeake Bay, south of Washington, to the Countles of ‘Dorchester, Talbot and Queen Anne, Md., aid from there are making their way directly northward on the Mary- land & Delaware Rallroad into Dela- ware, From the places they leave the raflroad many of them are managing to return to their homes. ‘These deserters from the Union Army are, of course, receiving as much aid as possible from the Confederate sympa- thizers in Sonthern Maryland and in this city. especially from Confederates in 8t. Marys, Charles, Calvert and Anne Arundel Countes, south of Washington on the western side of Chesapeake Bay. ‘They are being supplied with civilian clothes, food and money and aid in crossing the bay in boats. The informants of the Federal Gov- ernment say -they are usually taken across the bay in small parties of 4 to 12 persons. ‘The Federal authorities are also in- formed that the same Confederate sympathizers are carrying on constantly a trade with the Confederates in con- traband goods across the Potomac River to_Virginia. Prof. Lowe’s mammoth observation balloon is floating above the ground on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, near this city, today. It was carried through the streets of Washington and Georgetown yesterday, inflated. Although the car in which the ob- servers sit was near the level of the streets, the big balloon loomed above the tallest houses. It was taken over the Potomac River on the Alexandria Aqueduct Bridge and then to the vicinity of Fort Corcoran, one of the ring of Pederal forts built or building around the city as a de- fense against a possible Confederate attack. ‘The reconnoitering from the balloon of the Confederate positions will be by a military officer, who will commu- nicate with™ other officers below by “paper” express—that is, the messages written on paper, will be wrapped around a bullet and let down by a cord. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Little Sister in primary school ruined half a dozen dresses by catching the pockets on the corner of the desks. It was difficult to mend the tear so that the dresses looked well. I stitched across the tops of the pockets of her remaining dresses, so that they were érnamental only, and then I put a patch pocket on each pair of bloomers. Handling Flowers Of Field and Garden ‘Whenever you hear a housewife make the remark that she would rather not have vases of flowers in her house be- cause she would so much rather think that the beautiful blossoms were allowed to remain on the stalk—you may put up a wager of 10 to 1 that this housewife finds it rather a nuisance to arrange flowers and take care of them indoors. As a _matter of fact practically all garden flowers do better for being picked. If you want certain plants to continue blooming all Summer you must keep them closely picked—never allowing them to go to seed. Any gardener will tell you this. One likes to think of the housewife who has so many flowers to arrange every morning that she has a special place in her house to do this work. It is perhaps a corner of a passage- way that leads from the back door to the kitchen, or a bit of a side entrance | | - where there are running water and & few shelves to hold vases and scissors and a flower basket or two. But we really don't need such a nook. How- ever, beware of bringing garden flowers right into the kitchen. Sometimes you bring in ants with them and some- times those same ants get into the sugar or pastry in a way that proves their possession of & remarkably sweet tooth. The matter of vases is one that is really very important. As a usual thing flowers appear to best advantage in the simplest sort of vases. Glass vases of good shapes are excellent. It is a mis- take to use expensive vases or vases that are precious heirlooms, unless they are of metal and cannot be broken. Among the very expensive vases that sometimes set flowers off to excellent advantage are jugs and jars of stone- wear. A vase of this sort or one of clear glass is to be preferred to a vivid green glass vase, let us say, inlaid with bands of gold or silver or decorated with festoons of roses. The simpler vase does not detract from the color or beauty of the flowers it contains, where- u‘ the more ornate vase is apt to do this. Beef Noodle Soup.

Impy the black chipmunk felt that he was really out in the great world. He felt, too, that he had foun: the most wonderful place in all the great world for a new home. Just outside a fence corner was a great pile of stones. There were big stones and little stones. The fence was a rail fence and offered » lovely place for a chipmunk to run. In some ways it was even better than the old stone wall. Impy had looked around somewhat hastily and had dis- covered that there seemed to be plenty | to eat, so that was onz more thing to this seem a wouaerful place. Il dig me a house,” said Impy as he sat on the old fence and looked things over. “The question is, just where shall I dig this house?

Here was a won- derful place for a hidden door. Impy gOt quite excited about it. Once more e went outside and this time he went over to the pile of stoaes. It was only & few feet away from the hollow log. Impy sat on a stone and studied and studied. A plan was beginning to form in his mind. Yes, sir, Impy had the beginning of a plan. Presently he jumped down and began digging little round hole behind that pile of stones. Now that Impy had actually started work, he couldn’t work hard enough or fast enough. He dug his hole straight down for a short distance. ‘The sand he threw out. When he had my doorway where it will not readily | be found by others. That means that I cannot have a lot of sand scattered around it. Sand around the entrance to one’s home is & regular giveaway. There must be no sand at all around my doorway. 1 remember what my father, Striped Chipmunk. said. He told me that when I got ready to dig a home I should dig a back door first and take all earth out that way, and so finally open the front door, or regular door, from underground, instead of above ground. Then I should plug up the back door and if my front doorway was properly hidden, there would be nothing to show where I lived. So the first thing to do is to look around to see where I want my front door. Then I must find where I want my back door, which later 1 will plug up.’ Impy ran all over and all around the pile of stones. He went down in be- tween the stones. He seriously thought of having the entrance somewhere under that pile of stones. Then he changed his mind. Perhaps this is because he happened to see Mr. Black- snake thrust his head out from be- tween some of the stones of that pile. Right then and there, that very instant, Impy decided that the entrance to his home would be somewhere else. So stralghtway Impy went looking else- where, Off one side of the pile of stones, and close to the fence, lay an old log. It was hollow for a short distance. In this hollow part was a big knothole, through which Impy could dig. He didn't dig, but he could have. You see, that side of the log was the IMPY WENT OUTSIDE AND EXAM- | INED THE LOG ALL OVER. gone down sufficiently far he started a tunnel that would pass under that pile of stones and it was headed in the direction of that hollow log Fortunately for Impy, the digging was easy. It was sandy soil. He encoun- | tered only two or three stones of any | size and these he dug his tunnel around. | Much of the sand he had to push back and out of the entrance, but not ali of it. He found that he could pack some | of it. That is, he could press it into | the sides of his tunnel. | When Impy went to bed that night | he was a tired chipmunk. Also, he | was a happy chipmunk. He had the | beginning of a home all his own, and this meant a great deal to Impy. (Copyright, 1930.) OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Brotherly Love. “We have two boys, 11 and 13. They are good boys; bright boys. Everybody | speaks well of them but we are nearly besides ourselves because of their quar- reling. They can't seem to understand that brothers should love each other.” Eleven and thirteen know little ol brotherly love. Boys of this age are very prumitive. They know omiy the strong desire to excel, to win over the other fellow. To fight like mad for what they want. Personal pride, per- sonal ownership, personal power, is strong within them to the point of battle. “That's mine. You leave it alone.” can't I look at it?” , you can't. Leave it alone, I tell you. If you don't let that alone, I'll give you a punch in the eye.” Such a passage at arms sends a thrill of horror down the mother's back. Brothers. And fighting like that. What is to be done with them? Separate them. And very cooly. Send one off in one direction, the other in an opposite one. Give each some- thing to do that will occupy his mind for some time. Keep them apart and busy. Brothers know nothing of brotherly love until they are adolescent —and sometimes it takes longer than that. Plan things so that each brother has friends of his own. Family inbreeding in the sense of family isolation, is very bad for the children. They must have | other associations than those of the home group. A family of children will quarrel desperately if kept together | | without the opportunity of making out- side friendships. Fathers and mothers make & mistake | in_ thinking that they can cultivate | family solidarity by holding the children together within the home and forcing | them to keep apart from the other chu:ren and young people of the neigh- T It is better to widen the family as- sociations as much as possible. Let each child have his own friends. Let them take turns in entertaining and expect some co-operation from the others in this matter. Do not force one brother to give in always to the other. Each has his own rights; each his own duties. They will get along very much better in this in- between stage by this method. After they are adolescent they understand each other better and work and play and plan together in brotherly fashion. Of course there are the rare children who never quarrel. And there are those, equally rare, who always quarrel. I should suspect that both cases needed a close scrutiny as to mental and phy- sical health. "Any physical defect is bound to have its reaction in poor mental health. Persistent quarreling with everybody is an indication of a rather serious situation.

Of course some patterns are good and if you cannot follow your own idea you can follow the other man’s. But you won't cultivate the precious self that wearing a new style pin, or cap, or shoe will you be unhappy until you wear the same sort? If that is your way of dof then I fear you are not strengthening group in your class who for working hard, make high standing and call you you smile and go your way, your faith in yourself, ,or and follow lower level? If you fall in with the cheaper group you are not going to be | king of anything, or queen of even a sandwich stand. | But if you can smile and tell the | scoffer to run away and pick daisies, | boy, how you are going to grow. And ‘how everybody will cheer for you. That is everybody that is worth while. “And what happiness will fill your spirit, that spirit which is at peace only when you to what is best in | are being true | yourself. |” *“To thine own self be true”—and the world is yours. A new world, for you are a new person. What fairy tale, what kingdom could outclass that? (Copyright. 1930.) Lemon Cake Pie.
