WOoM AN’S PAGE. Games for Home Festivities BY LYDIA LE = VA FATHER TIME'S CLOCK IS EA%L\' RTUNES, < During the holiday season entertain- ing is one of the pleasant features of | home life. The suggestions given today are planned to promote the festivities. The first is called “garbled greetings.” The hostess seats the compary in a circle, and asks one of the number to whisper a New Year greeting into the ear of the person at her left. Each player in turn whispers what he hears into the ear of the one at his left until it finally comes to the person extending | the greeting. She repeats out loud what comes to her, and then what she | said at first. The greeting will certainly be garbled, the more it is the merrier, but by giving the original greeting the player can extend the true one. Some greetings are: “I wish you luck in the New Year,” “A Happy New Year to all, “I hope you get ycur wish this year, “May happiness attend you throughout the year,” and “A glad and prosperous New Year.” If a player repeats a greeting pre- viously given, he or she must drop out of the game. The one remaining to the last is awarded a prize. Variations in the wording of greetings can be slight, | but the identical phrasing is not allow- able. A bock or a game is suggested for a prize. Father Time's Fortune Clock.—Cut two circles from stiff cardboard. one of which should be red or a gay color, and giue them firmly together. These circles may be any size from one foot in diameter up, according to the dimensicn wanted for the clock. Punch a small hole through the exact center and mark numbers from 1 to 12 near the edge as in the face of a clock.

QUESTION asked often by visitors to the congressional galleries at the Capitol is: “How do these men who go at each other with such verbal bitterness on the floor of the Senate or House act when they meet face to face later?” e answer is Rarely, if ever, are harsh words, uttered in the heat of de- bate, remembered for very long. As an_example, take the Nye-Davis incident at the beginning of the present session, J Senator Nye ap- L. parently did his dead-level best to keep President Hoover's former cabinet member from taking his seat. Yet, after the Senate voted to seat him, Nye was the first Senator to grasp him by the hand and utter a word of congratulation. ‘Take Watson easy. o (ke /2> and Hearrison as further illustration. When it comes to rawhiding each other, these two are hard to beat. But watch them after it's all over. i It's a pretty safe bet 'youll en- sounter them later strolling arm in arm down the corridor, laughing en. joshing each other like two long-] brothers. Garner and Longworth are the same. The minority leader ef the House ap- parently is never so happy as when he can take the Speaker “for a ride.” And he is merciless at times on these trips Yet there are no greater cronies on the Hill than these two, The same thing is true with Tilson Republican floor leader of the House. and Garner. During the day, if the session is a particularly heated one, to the casual observer it would appear one would lie BARON WALKER. THE EVENING LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

Glue the two arrow portions to- gether with the wire extending between | nearly to the tip of the arrowhead. Run the end of wire sticking out through the hole in a small spool (such as darning silk comes on), or through the hole in a typewriter eraser, then through the hole in the face of the clock, and through another spool at the back. Fasten the wire firmly about | the spool. The hand will be positioned and turn easily around the face of the now finished clock, which is now ready to be positioned flat on a table. Rest the clock on books to make it even, and to allow space beneath, so the { hand will not be prevented from re- volving. Each player is asked to make a wish and the clock will tell during which | month of the year it will come true. To play the game the person making the wish must quickly whirl the hand around the face of the clock. At which- ever numeral the hand stops, that will be the month when the wish comes true. A simplified form cf clock can be made of a circle of red cloth with numerals marked on it, and then the face be basted to an old sheet. Hang the sheet against some wall space. | Provide players with small red paper jor cloth arrcws with a pin in each. Blindfold each player in turn. Stand him 10 steps away from the clock, turn him three times and leave hlml facing the clock. He holds the arrow before him and walts (supposedly) to- ward the clock. When his hand hits the wall—or the clock—he pins the arrow or clock “hand” to that place. If the “hand” is on the face, the numeral nearest it indicates in what month the wish comes true. If it is on the plain glsosbzh, the wish will not be fulfilled until (Copyright. 1930.) in wait for the other in some dark | corner of the Capitol and a slugfest | would be the only way out. But it's | far from anything like this. The chances are if you tried to find Tilson and Garner after hours, you | would run into them both seated in | the office of Longworth having a whale | of a good time. And perhaps with the three would be Bertrand Snell, chair- man of the powerful House rules com- mittee, and the third of the three | House Republican musketeers—Long- worth, Tilson and Snell. Scenes such as these are daily oc- | currences on the Hill. In both Houses |it is much the same—those savage in their attack are perhaps the best of | friends. Or, at least, they are the first | % extend the hand of fellowship off stage. In this connection, there is a story one hears around the Capitol which has_almost become a_tradition. When President Wilson journeyed to | the Capitol to deliver thai memorable | address to the Senate on the peace treaty with Germany, he found himself later in the presence of his arch-enemy, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. And it is said that during the time these two chatted, they confined their remarks chiefly to the acoustics of the Senate chamber. { eleges | Frozen Orange Hearts. | Soak one and one-half tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-fourth cupful of cold water.

WARNER'S HAND. Happiest of cats was the cat of Charles Dudley Warner-Calvin, a crea- ture of great dignity and grace and charm of manner. He lived to a ripe old age, having never known anything but the tenderest treatment. “We understood each other per- fectiy,” said Mr. Warner, “but we never made any fuss about it. Calvin saw, with Emerson, the risk of degrad- ing triendship to a trivial conveniency.” When the author desired Calv company he never called, “Kitty, kit kitty!” He just spoke the cat’s name, or snapped his fingers. Quickly Calvin came running Seldom, however, did he need to call his pet. Calvin went with him to his study in the morning and stayed with him during the hou Sometimes he slept_on master’s shoulder, purring comfortably in his ear. The table, however, was his favorite spot. He pen in Mr. Warner's hand. “Writing always interested him greatly,” says the author, “and, until he understood it, he wanted to hold the pen.” We perceive the dignity of Calvin after reading the master's description of him: “When I came home at night Calvin | was at the gate to meet me, but he sauntered along slowly as if he were there accidentally. And when we reached the door and I opened it, he never rushed in. He always came in o -SERVE BOTH AT YOUR Costs a Trifle More— Worth Much More liked to watch the | slowly as if he had no intention of | entering, but would condescend to do s0. If ever he asked to have the door opened, he would always pause at' the threshold and look at the sky as if con- sidering whether it were worth while to take an umbrella. His friendship was constant. After a two years' ab- sence he welcomed me with evident pleasure, but tranquilly. He refused to be petted, though he liked companion- ship There was no sitting in any one’s lap for him.” But if Calvin did not wish to be petted, he sometimes could do a bit of petting himself. There were occa- sions_when he would look gently at Mr. Warner and come and pull at his sleeve. When the author’s face was near enough, he would touch his nose agamst it_and then retire contented If Mrs. Warner were away from home particularly tender with his master. When the morning beéll rang he roused quickly. He would proceed to the head of Mr. Warner's bed, where he would stand up, and with his fore- paws against the covers, would gaze at the Icnely husband with the great- est_expression of affection. As Mr. Warner dressed, Calvin fol- lowed him about, purring loudly and fondly. “It was as if he were saying, ‘T know that she has gone away, but I'm here,’” writés Mr. Warner.

KERY Swing the first wave down and the sec- | ond wave back, and so on to the back | of the head. With the small-sized | combs make the Waves meet across the | back of the head. | The combs must be held firmly in place until the hair dries. For this pur- pose long rubber bands are useful. With a hairpin secure one end of an elastic band under the last comb on the right side of the head. Stretch the band and fasten the other end with another pin under the first comb. Qn the left side, where more combs werc used, it may be necessary to join two bands in order to span the distance from the first to the last_comb without pulling the hair too much. Another rubber band may secure the set of small combs at the back of the head. If the hair is long, however, a small strand of it may be brought up | over these combs and twisted around a hairpin at the crown of the head. Ad- just a hair net over the whole head. The girl who keeps her hair water waved is often tempted to neglect daily scalp massage and regular shampooing | for fear of disturbing her wave. The | | result is that her scalp becomes covered | ith dandruff and her hair loses it |luster. It is always a mistake to sacri- | fice hair health and cleanliness in order | to save the trouble and expense of hav- ing one’s hair rewaved.

BY MARY You can make & charming bandeau from bits of silk, or ribbon and lace, that seem tco small to make use of in number of them. For the shoulder straps you will need two pleces of ribbon 18 or 19 inches long, or you may use strips of silk folded double and stitched. For the | side front portions you may use ribbon about 7', inches wide. Two 11-inch pieces will be enough or you may use two pieces of silk or dainty cotton ma- terial about 8 inches by 11 inches in size. For the square center plece you may use a piece cf silk, lace or ribbon about 2'; inches square. The wide pieces are laid in pleats at the front and fastened to this square. For the side pieces you will need strips about 6!, inches long and about 3 inches wide. The side front pieces are laid in pleats and attached to these pieces at one end. The other end of each of the side back pieces is nar- rowed slightly and the one at the right is attached to a small back piece about 2 inches square. The other side cf the SONNYSAYING! BY FANNY Y.

To Amuse Children, If your children are grown up or if you have no children, yet have friends who call with small children, try this plan for their amusement. Take two 5-pound candy boxes and fill them with small, unbreakable toys bought from a | 10-cent store. Be sure that you have | some crayons and paper, too, also any | discarded jewelry, compacts, beads and | other things. Fill one box for little boys and another for little girls. Chil- dren will play with these for hours, as | the toys are new to them. Before they I2ave, tell them to put them safely in the box, in order to keep them until they come again. This plan gives the parents a chance to have an undis- | turbed visit with their friends. | pi | Prices realized on Swift & Compan sales of carcass beef in Washingtofi, c. week ending Saturday. . “on_shipments sold out, | 11:00 ‘cents to 20.50 cents per pound and | averaged 16.64 cents per pound.—Advertise- | ment. j { you want to have a finger in the pie recipe of the clay. A ./'u/.at tfy this one / s of the day! In fact,it’s so advanced you’ll want to use it all through the new year. For not only does it tell you how to make as deliciousa pineapple pie as you’ve ever put in your mouth, it also tells you just which grade of pineapple is best suited for making it. Any woman can tell at a glance that for this pie, the appearance of the pineapple is of prime importance. And that’s just why the recipe calls for DOLE 1 Sliced Pineapple. For DOLE 1 Slices are lovely to look at. They’re so evenly cut—every one of them. And they’re uniform in color. (Just examine the slices as you take them out of the can.) So when you make this pineapple pie, or any pineapple dish that calls for lovely golden slices—the pick of the pack of Hawaiian Pineapple—be sure to ask your grocer for DOLE 1 Sliced Pineapple. Nature gives grades to pineapple—and DOLE, in turn, clearly marks them for you—so you’ll know just what grade you’re getting when you buy. DOLE grade-marks pineapple by stamping the name DOLE in the top of the can and beneath that name the number 1, or 2, or 3. So whether you’re buying Sliced, Crushed or Tidbits, all of which come in various grades, insist on seeing the DOLE grade-mark—and be certain you get just the grade of pineapple that fits your recipe.
