WOMAN'’S PAGE,' Old-Time Ruches Are Revived BY MARY MARSHALL. Ruches are another of the old-time fashions that have been revived to make women's dresses fussier and with- &l more generally becoming. And, by the way, did you know that the French word ruche from which we get our own word to indicate a sort of two- sided pleated ruffie originally meant nothing more nor less than a beehive? Early Prench beehives were made of the bark of trees and to the imagina- tive Prench mind there was something BEDTIME STORIES Peter Enlists Help.

Over in the Green Forest, Lightfoot the Deer and another Deer of about his own size had fought until at last their antlers became locked; and there they | were, head to head, unable to separate. | All the Green Forest knew about it. It | seemed as if every one had paid that part of the Green Forest a visit. Peter Rabbit had not learned of the fight in time to see it, but he had heard of the accident, and, of course, he had hurried over there, Peter’s heart was filled with pity. Peter knew that, if only Farmer Brown's Boy would came along, all would be well. Peter has great faith in Farmer Brown's Boy. So he had done his best to try to think of some way of getting Farmer Brown's Boy over there. Finally Peter saw Sammy Jay. Sammy i Mt me “DO YOU KNOW WHERE FARMER BROWN'S BOY IS RIGHT NOW?"

What do you want to know for?” “I want to get him to come and help Lightfoot,” said he. “Don’t be foolish, Peter,” said Sammy. “If those two fellows can' selves apart, Parmer Brow tainly can't get them apar “I believe he could,” replied Peter. “Anyway, he would try, and that's more than any one else is doing.” “What makes you think he would try?™ asked Sammy. “Did you ever know him to let any of the little people of the Green Forest | or the Green Meadows stay In troubl once he had found them in trouble demanded Peter, | Sammy looked thoughful. “I believe | your're right, Peter,” said he. “But I don't see what even Farmer Brown's Boy could do for these two fellows.

You may buy ruching by the yard made of net, chiffon or organdle, in black, white or pastel tones, or you may make it yourself from almost any sort of material you choose. Sometimes the silk of which the dress is made is cut into strips frayed at the sides and then pleated into ruches. If you like, the edges may be finished with machine picot. An attractive and easy way to make ruching may be made from ribbon. If you have ribbon an inch wide you may lay it in single inch- wide box pleats, and for this you will need three times as much ribbon as the | finished ruching. If you want a very full ruching you may lay the ribbon in double box pleats and then you will need five times as much as the finished ruche. In the dress sketched a double-box- pleated flounce trims the wide collar. 1t i made of the material for the dress, and is finished along the lower edge with a tiny flat stitched hem. It might be picot finished, as well, (Copyright, 1930.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Mental Sham Battles. ‘The philosopher sums everything up and pronounces life a struggle.

Parmer Brown's Boy will know that something has happened and he’ll want to find out what it is; and If he isn't too busy, he’ll come over to find out.” “Ah reckon that's a good plan, Brer Jay,” sald OI' Mistah Buzzard. “Ah reckon Ah can help.

A boy prob- ably wouldn't have this lamp and shade very long before adding a bit of decoration in the shape of cross-bones or some such design to de- light himself and horrify his young and dainty sister. For the boy of the “tin soldler” age the lamp in the lower part of the illutration would have & lgan The base is a very upright obedient soldier and the shade has g little land- scape design.

Is not that an amazing and tragic illustration of ‘he length to which human stupidity and weakness can go? have brought their pitiable fate upon their own heads, but themselves for their poverty-stricken For at least ninc-tenths of these unfortunates d have no one to blame old age. They are as they are because in youth they refused to recognize that they would ever grow old, and because they lacked the strength to deny themselves anything they wanted. Some few there are to whom life gives no breaks. There are men and women who are weighted down by a family, and thing because hungry mouths gobble down ever; There are others who are handicapped by ill-health. who never have a chance to save any- cent as soon as it is made. There are others to whom Nature was niggardly in the matier of brains and who have no capacity to earn more than a meager wage, but these cases are comparatively few. They do not form the bulk of that great army of impecunious men and women who, like the | fabled butterfly, have sported in the sun in their days of prosperity and when the Winter of cld age comes must starve or else depend upon others, How any one can be foolish enough not to try to protect himself against this disaster is a mystery past all solving, for cape by death is old age. It is the one that is bound to come to us all. the one calamity that we can only es- misfortune that nothing can ward off, Soon our brain will slow down, our hand wil lose its cunning, our arm its strength, and we will no long:r be able to work and earn money. ‘Then whether we shall be happy or miserable, whether we shall be com- fortable or uncomfortable, whether we sha 1l be looked up to with respect or down upon with contempt, whether we shall be welcome or unwelcome when we go among our family and friends, depends much money we have in the bank.

All of us have had our hearts wrung by the pathetic spectacle of humbled, depes ndent old people, forced to live on those who resent the imposition, snubbed by their relatives, even by their children and grandchildren and in-laws.

But a vast number of people do not take this precaution, as is shown by the 2,000,000 dependent old people in our midst. They go on blithely spending everything they make up to the last cent. They indulge themselves in every luxury and then the crash comes and they are thi Not long ago a friend of mine died. & salary of $25,000, yet all of the estate tk lore in an apartment, & seccnd-hand car fe, for they had no children, had blown .

While the close-cropped bob has definitely gone out of style to be sup- planted by longer hair, the pendulum of fashion has not yet swung back to the opposite extreme. There was & period when women gloried in having luxuriant tresses that fell below the hips, but now there are few indeed who could make such & boast or who would care to do so. Hair of about shoulder length is the present vogue. On= of the artistic advantages of very long tresses is that great variety of coiffuring is possible. There i prac- tically no room for varlety when the hair is bobbed short, but the medium lengths lend themselves to different arrangements. Hairdressers are design- ing ingenious variations for coiffures Wwith hair that is nelther long nor very short. The character of a coiffure may be changed entirely by so simple a device as altering the position or the length of the part. There are short parts the hair may be waved in a horseshoe effect; this arrangement gives height | and a certain dignity. The long center part that runs from the forehead all quaint; 1t is especially becoming dainty, feminine types. Then there is the diagonal part that is very modern. The diagonal part coiffure is for the girl who has per- sonality and who knows how to dress | The hair may be marceled or | finger-waved parallel with the part. Another way to vary the season's| coiffures is to have the hair cut in dif- ferent lengths. For example, part the halr from ear to ear and divide the | front into two side sections and a large | central scction. Brush the central | strand of hair to the right and cut it | at a point about level with the right| ear. Put a high wave in this section | and curl the ends in ringlets that | cluster above the right temple. The side sections of hair are cut long enough to reach the chin level and they should | be waved and pinned over the ears. The remainder of the hair, which is| shoulder length, is wavea across the | back and the ends are curled up in a| roll across the nape of the neck. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONROE.

Those who fail to follow these simple beauty rules will find that excessive dandruff, dullness, loss of halr and premature graying result from such neglect. (Copyrieht, 1930.)
