A good way to find out al preferences when a company is large is to have both types of enter- tainment arranged for. In one room tables for cards can be placed. In an- other the floor can be cleared for danc- ing and music of some kind supplied. In almost every Home “canned music” of one sort or another is to be found. The company will soon sort itself into active and inactive groups. It is by no means an indication of lack of mental acumen when simple games are enjoyed by adults. I know of one group of erudite persons— writers, dramatists, musicians — who revel in an evening every now and then when such childlike diversions are in- dulged in as spin the platter, shouting proverbs, legerdemain tricks, etc. At other times original guessing games will keep them amused and alert. Tableaux and charades are not so much in evidence as entertaining fea- tures today as formerly, but they are found ular when started. Because | they are infrequently used, there is the | spice of novelty about them that sup- | plies zest and a note of “difference” sought by hostesses. ‘When a hostess knows she will have persons who shine in conversation, those who are wits and good at repartee, re- turned travelers about whose trips a company wants to hear, etc, she can rely upon the group having a good time without stressing other entertain:inent. She is wise, however, if she has some plans to fill in any gaps when mo- ments might prove dull otherwise. These plans should be kept in reserve | needed. (coprrient, 1930 Cheese and Jelly Cookies.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. September 11, noissances across the Potomac River into Virginia are being made by de- tachments of Union troops. They indi- cate, according to the reports received today at military headquarters in this “constantly shifting their positions.” The Confederates, for instance, were discovered near Falls Church night before last. Their pickets had all been drawn in close to that village. The Confederate pickets on the Georgetown- Leesburg turnpike have also been drawn in conslderably during the last two or three days, apparently toward the main |body of the Confederate forces under Gen. Beauregard. ‘The impression prevails in Union military circles here today that Gen. Beuaregard is now ‘“massing most of his troops” between Fairfax Court | House and Leesburg, Va. It was learned that quite recently a body of Confed- erate troops of considerable size was moved toward this supposed position from the vicinity of Manassas Junction. Meanwhile Gen. McClellan continues to drill the Union “Grand Army” on the east side of the Potomac River at ‘Washington and to prepare to meet any forward movement in this direc tion that the Confederates may mak: McClellan has not yet shown any sign: of moving forward against the Con- federate Army. The usual stories are flying about |and growing by exaggeration as they are passed from mouth to mouth. One of the latest is that Union soldiers under Gen. Smith captured a Confed- erate major and captain, but it turns out to have been two Confederate pri- vates of the Virginia Cavalry, who were captured near Lewinsburg, Va. So far as can be ascertained, no Confederate officers have fallen into McClellan's hands since he took command of the Army of the Potomac soon after the Union defeat at the Battle of Bull Run. It leaked out today that Charles H. ‘Winder of this city has been arrested by the Union authorities and is being held in prison. He is charged with treasonable practices, but no details are available, Prof. Lowe's observation balloon is back at its old position above Fort Corcoran, Va., today, after having been brought into this city yesterday and refilled with ges.

Galba was immensely rich, when, as | & private citizen, he lived in retirement | during most of the reign of Nero. Of course, as emperor, he was in a posi~ | tion to increase his wealth enormously. That which he obtained he seldom re- leesed. All sorts of stories were told of his ight-fistedness. Once, it was said, he | was served with a more sumptuous din- | ner than usual, whereupon he groaned hollowly in sorrow over the expenditure. Again, a steward having brought to him, while he was at table, an account | of his expenditures which showed great | diligence in curtailing costs, Galba said: “You deserve a reward for your care”; whereupon, suiting the action to the word, he handed the faithful servant a dish of legumes from the table. Canus, the piper, having played in a way that delighted him, the emperor summoned the musician to him and, drawing some coins from his pocket, handed them over with the appearance of great satisfcation. Canus, expecting & rich reward, retired to a safe distance to see what he had. He found he had received 5 donarii—about 85 cents. News of Galba’s avarice reached Rome before he arrived, and the cut- ups of the day proceeded to make fun of him as a rustic, regardless of his dignity and his age—he was 72 when he seized power. Fearful of criticisms of his frugality, Galba attempted to be a spendthrift at times. But he did it in a way that earned him more censure. He succeeded in making every one an enemy. Fatally, he estranged the sol- diers, who had been won over to his cause by their commanders promising that he would give them a large dona- tlon, He refused to makedthese prom- ises good. -He boasted, “It is my custom The convenience of the Gerber Products is ob- vious.

He died courageously. When the knights chosen to kill him came up, he is said to have offered his throat to them, exclaiming, “Do your work, and strike, since you are resolved upon it.” His greatest gratification was in eat- ing, or rather gorging. Yet he might have lived to & 1;1‘;)0 old age if he had not been murdered. As it was, he was in his seventy-third year, He had reigned only seven months. (Copyright, 1930.) MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Window Flower Garden. Cut thin slices across a carrot and press them against a window pane where the sun is shining. The moisture in the carrot slices will hold them to the window pane. You really have no idea until you have tried it how beau- tiful such “carrot flowers” can be When the sun shines through them. Every shade of yellow from pale lemon to deep gold will be there and there will be prety shades of pink, too. After the moisture of the carrot slices begins to dry the edges of the ‘“carrot flowers” will turn up and become crinkled. This will make them look still more like flowers. If you leave them on the window for some time you will find that their colors will change with the changing light that comes through the pane. (Copyright, 1930.)

" Me and my oussen Artie had & de- bate on my frunt steps this afternoon about wich would be the best to be, & painter or & carpenter, Artle saying & carpenter and me saying a painter, say- ing G wiss, certeny a painter is the best, all he has to do is wave a paint brush all day and watch the effect, in- stead of running the risk of getting splinters by carrying heavy boards or sitting on them, Yes, but he dont run the risk of get- i t in his eyes by getting it on m:'hnflumudthenmm{he s suddenly itch, Artie sed. And anywa, you never saw & carpenter with splin- ters in him, did you? A How do I know? They ain't going to tell you if theyve got splinters, their too proud I sed. Any anyways, you never saw a painter with paint in his eyes, did you? I sed. 1 never looked for any, Artie sed. Being & bu manser, and I said, Well anyways, you watch & painter and he's making things prettier all the time he’s werking, but you watch a carpenter and he’s generelly always making things lier till some painter comes and over everything with paint, and Artie sed, Thats just exactly where a carpen- ter has got it the easiest, because he can make & whole buntch of mistakes and leave out nales and everything, and the painter paints over it and everybody says, O aint that bewtiful, but what happens if a painter makes a mistake and forgets to paint a few little hunks of places? Everybody says, Good nite what & bum job, thats what happens. Being a hard one to think up a anser to, and anyways just then the other fel- lows came around and we got up a game of cops and robbers. Marshmallow Frosting. Cut half a pound of marshmallo.s in pleces and melt over hot water. Cook one cupful of sugar and one-fourth cup- ful of water together until the sirup forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Four the sirup slowly over a stiffly beaten egg white and beat until stiff. Add the melted mars) lows and beat until smooth and thick enough to spread. Add half s teaspoonful of vanilla and a few grains of salt. Push and Pull Scientists have established that it is easier to pull than to push.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Dandruff on Oily Scalp. Dear Miss Leeds: I read your articles each day and wonder if you could help me with my problem. It is this: I am troubled with my hair getting olly. I| wash it once & week and have been using various things to get rid of dan-| druff, but none of them seemed to help | me.- I do not know what to do| about it, for my hair gets oily mreei days after it is washed and I can just shake my head and dandruff flies every | way. Is there any way that I can help | this? GRATEFUL. Answer.—The excessive ofliness and | the dandruff both indicate that your | scalp is not in & healthy condition. | Give it.a stimulating massage both | night and morning and also see to it | that both hair and scalp ‘are given a dally airing. Allow the hair to hang loosely for this treatment. ‘The flakes of dandruff should be | | loosened and removed by & circular movement with a clean, fine comb. As | they are freed from the scalp, brush them away with a perfectly clean brush. Make sure that the brush is clean by washing and sterilizing the bristles with | hot water to which a few drops of | ammonia have been added. After the dandruff has been removed, shampoo with warm water and tincture of green soap. Rinse well and dry in the sun if possible. Before the hair is entirely dry, "-‘;-?,’,’ & tonic and then finish dry- ing. tonic should be used several times a week before the scalp massage as well as after the shampoo. ‘The following ingredients make a tonic for an oily scalp troubled with dandruff: Quinine sulphate, one dram; tincture of cantharides, one dram; alcohol, two ounces; salicylic acid, 30 grains; bay rum to make 10 ounces. LOIS LEEDS. Cleansing Oil. Dear Miss Leeds: My skin is so dry | LEEDS. and sensitive that it is impossible for mewwuhnwn.hmpand'-hr every day. Can you end & cleaning oil which will make clean and one which will hair? SALLY. Answer.—The following cleansing oil is especially good for skins such s yours, and you need have no fear that it will grow hair: Ofl of almonds, one- half ounce: oil of benne, two ounces; cologne water, two deams; tincture of benzoin, five drops. This is especially good for a dry skin, not only for fts cleansing properties, but it also helps to prevent wrinkles which are apt to come so quickly when one’s skin is lacking in oil. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1930.) Everyday Psychology / BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Heavy Folks. Students of human nature leave mo stone unturned in trying to discover why who is what. Every suspicion in regard to human abilities is subjected to careful analysis and measurement. Of course, the vast majority of these | questions in regard to human abilities are settled on the basis of averages. Suppose we consider this question: Are heavy folks likely to be more suc-~ cessful in a given line of work than the light? On this question we have some interesting data. It has been discovered that the av- erage bishop is 5 feet 10 inches tall and_weighs 176 pounds. The average small town preacher is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 160 pounds. The average university president measures 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 181 pounds. The average president of & small college measures 5 feet § inches and weighs 164 pounds. Presidents of railroad companies erage 5 feet 11 inches in height and weigh on the average 186 pounds. At the same time station agents in towns of less than 500 populat stand 5 feet 9 inches in height and weigh 154 pounds. Perhaps these hysical averages mean something. writer, for one, doubts that me{;eh". any significance.
