TN WOMAN’S PAGE. Beadwork Has Returned to Favor BY MARY When we gave up wearing beaded chiffon and georgette dresses and blouses five or six years ago, it was with a sense of relief. They had such an annoying habit of shedding beads wherever we went. Besides we were tired of beaded dresses, and some of us made solemn vows that we would never fall into the way of wearing beaded dresses again. Sooner than most of us expected bead- work has come into favor again, but there is no doubt of its acceptability. Beaded chiffon and W"‘ collars and cuffs may be bought separately at THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Skirt Fullness.

It is a beaded ring of georgette or chiffon, satin or erepe— to match the frock—and it is used to hold the ends of the collar or the ends of cuffs. It is used instead of a pin or lmtel:. of bowing or knotting the collar ends. The way to make these rings is to cut @ strip of material twice as wide as you want, to bead half of it, length- wise, with beads of attractive lors, and then to turn in the sides of the material to cover the stitching that holds the beads. Then join the ends to make a ring—like a napkin ring—just enough to pull over the ends of big the collar or cuffs. (Copyright, 1930 Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMAR. How Much Jewelry?t How much jewelry may be worn at once? This is a question that would be answered differently by _different women. There are some who prefen to wear only one ornament—a heavy, striking chain, a single ring, a pair of the new, very long earrings or possibly one large and striking brooch on the shoulder of the dress. Other women like to wear two matching pieces—a bracelet and a ring, earrings and a bracelet, a bracelet and a necklace or earris and a ring to match. In mm?;kor the shops at present there is a b demand for matching rings and bracelets. Bib necklaces are among the smart new pieces of jewelry that make & strong appeal to women of good taste this season. Necklaces of this sort consist of several strands of different lengths with a clip arrangement so that when all worn together they ap- pear like a dog collar at the back of the neck with a bib arrangement at the front. Smartest of all ornaments of this sort is the five-strand ruby necklace that smartly dressed women wear so effectively on the all-white evening dress. Bracelets that may be worn together or apart are also gaining favor, Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, rings and brcoches are all in demand at the present time. Then there are bands to be worn at the back of the head to hold in the strands of growing hair. Brooches are especially important and gre smartest when of large and strik- ing effect.

Skill in Using Spices. ‘We don’t need spices as much as our ancestors did. Fresh fruits and vege- tables, all Winter long, keep our appe- tites piqued throughout the year. ‘Thorough refrigeration makes tainted meat, which wa: nnce improved by the addition of some strong spice, some- thln&l we needn’t reckon with. Still spice does help to give charac- ter and interest to our foods and the clever modern cook uses it judiciously. In the present-day housewife’s list there are several spices for everyday use—nutmeg, einnamon, pepper, cloves and ginger. Among others that should be on the shelf for occasional use are mixed pickle spices to use, sparingly, in mak- ing soup and boiling fish, corned beef, ham or tongue, as well as in many sorts of pickles. Then there should be allspice, mace, caraway seed, celery seed, sage, taragon and bay leaves—not all, perhaps, strictly spices, but all good flavoring agents. Bay leaves are escential to most French cooks. They should be used sparingly—a quarter or less of a leaf is all that is needed in family cook- ing. The leaf should be removed from the soup or gravy before serving. They are good in making tomato or celery Jjelly, tomato sauce and soup, and in cool a _pot roast, if you like the flavor. A little piece of bay leaf, boiled with_veal, or any fish, improves the flavor, MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. Rack for Books. My little girl is very fond of books and likes to keep her books in the living room. The bookcases were too high for her to reach and as a result her books were often strewn about the living room. One day in the store I spied a plce little magazine rack which I thought would be just right for her books, so I bought it for that purpose. She is glad to have a place of her own for her books and always keeps them in the rack when she is not using them. Sometimes she puts her tablet and pencil box in there too. I think that little rack is one of the handiest pleces of furniture in our home, (Copyright. 1930 TO TINT SiLK “UNDIES” WITHOUT COLORING THE LACE Use This Special Blue Box Tintex!* Marvelous, but true!

MISS DIX—I am awldower, 38 years old, and have four children from 7 to 16 years old. I am very much in love with a high school girl 16 years old. Is this girl old enough to realize what she is doing if she marries me, and would she help make a home for my children? Would she be liable to change when she got older? I live at home with my mother and sisters, who take care of my children. What should I do? TROUBLED WIDOWER. Answer.—Any man with children who even thinks about marrying a-16-year- old schoolgirl and putting her at the head of his house has so little sense and judgment that he should be committed at once to a home for the incurably feeble- minded before he can put his mad plan into execution. ‘Why, Mr. Widower, haven’t any right to commit a crime like that! A single man, with no me% himself to consider, may take any foolhardy risks he pleases in marriage. On his own head is the result of his folly. Buta widower is not free to follow his own fancy in picking out a wife. He has given hostages to fortune and he must consider his children’s welfare even before his own. For he puts his children's lives in the hands of their stepmother and not only their happiness but the kind of men and women they make depends upon the way she treats them and whether she develops what is best in their char- acters. So many girls make unfortunate marriages while they are very young in order to get away from & cruel stepmother! So many boys run away from homes that stepmothers have made a place of torment to them, and their fa- thers are to blame for it! \ The role of the stepmother is a hard one at best. It isn't easy for any woman to be & substitute mother. The stepmother is called upon to do the ceaseless work of a mother and to make the unending sacrifices that every mother must make. She must cook and wash and mend and sew for the chil- dren. She must watch by thewr sick beds. She must put up with their noise and dirt and tempers. She must do without the things she wants that they may have the clothes and amusements that other children have and she has not the loye for the children that their mother would have and that would lighten the labor and make the sacrifices sweet. She would be more than human if she had not always a little jealousy of her husband’s love for this other woman’s children. The very caresses t he bestows upon them, his pride in them, his bragging about them that she would adore if they were her children is a dagger in her heart when they are another woman’s children. So it takes a big woman, & wise woman, a women of indefinite self-control to make a good stepmother, and no 16-year-old girl can ssibly ha these qualities. She is too young, too immature, too ignorant of life to cope with the situation. She has too little philosophy even to endure it. So, if you marry this child you will rue the day. She and your children will quarrel like cats and dogs and your home will be a bedlam. She is too young to know what love is. All that she is capable of is just & passing fancy, & romantic urge that will pass in a day or a week or a year. Why, she will probably think herself in love with half a dozen different boys before she is grown and when she is grown she may want an entirely different sort of man from you! So use a little common sense. If you want to be happy, marry in your own class, some woman around the 30s who will have the dignity and poise to com- mand the respect of your children and wisdom to deal with them and who is ready to settle down and make them a home.
