It must be allowed that Brummel was very generous, yet his condescending advice to Sheridan cer- my must have been embarrassing to Brummel's reputation as a wit rested largely upon his audaciousness. Many of the things he said hurt. He suffered few rebuffs. The most famous was that administered by Bob Bligh, a cousin of | Lord Darnley and a rough-and-ready | person, capable of the worst violences. | Why Bligh should penetrate the fop- | pish circle at Watier's has not been explained, since he held its powdered and perfumed gentles in contempt. | Nevertheless, one night he sat at the macao table, just posite Brummel. The stakes were high. Brummel lost | heavily. Making a jest of his losses, after ing a partciularly large stake, the Beau cried cut tragically: “Waiter, bring me a flat candlestick and a pistol!” Bligh regarded him with acute dis- dain.

Often this means making up his mind during a split second. In fact, he ad- mitted that many times he had deter- mined how he would vote in the inter- val when he heard his name called and his answer. A Benate roll call comes without warning at times. And often much depends on what Ashurst does. There was, for example, the occasion of the prolonged filibuster in the Senate back in 1915 on the ship purchase bill. It was believed by the Democratic Sen- ators in charge of the bill that a roll call might be obtained. And under the rules of the Senate when one Senator answers to his name further debate is impossible. On this fact the Democrats pinned their hopes of ending the filibuster. Ashurst was first on the roll call. So with the patience of an Oriental he sat in his seat continuously for 54 hours and 10 minutes, waiting, waiting for his name to be called. Hes was one of the most important figures in that celebrated parliamentary battle. At night he slept on a sofa in the Senate chamber; during the day he sat in his seat. For should the Re- publicans falter in their campaign of words, should they lose the floor long enough for the clerk to sing out “Sena- tor Ashurst!” and for him to answer, another round in the battle would have been won for the Democrats. As it 50 happened his name was never called. - “But to show you how I was keyed up,” he said, “‘near the end of the fili- buster, while I lay sleeping on my sofa that the clerk had called my name.

Everyday Psychology e n BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Women Are Different. Of course, there's no agreement be- tween men and women on the question of ways in which they differ. Science has attempted to study the question, and here are a few of the known differences: 1. Faced with a crisis a woman will “go to pieces” a little more quickly than a man. In other words, she will “give up” sooner. She seems to accept “fate” a little more readily. 2. Women are not so likely to try to convince some one of something. They hate to argue and persuade. ‘There's only one exception: The female is pretty likely to contend for her point of view on all matters of religion. 3. Women keep diaries rather reg- ularly. Men seldom do. It seems that a record of past and passing events carries an element of support with it. It's a well recognized principle among psychologists that the careful note- keeper is haunted by a feeling that he or she may one day be called upon to substantiate his or her position. 4. Women go in for reading novels more than men do. Somehow & printed page seems more authoritative to them than it does to men. Morover, women find in their reading more than men do. For some women a novel amounts al- most to an actual experience. Most men regard a novel as something that was written for money. (Copyright, 1931.) —_— Jam Cake.

Nok do they call forth the Wi 'ut.'lar Posthumous Gratitude? \DorothyDix]| EV!RY day we hear about some ol man or woman who has died and left a few scattering legacies to poor {mmc relatives and fifty or seventy-five or a hundred thousand d:'l‘lrs or more fo philanthropies. This is fine, and may it be recorded on the credit side of their ledgers. But what I wonder is that these people who have so much to give do not give it while they are alive so that they can get some fun out of giving. do the{ deny themselves the pleasure they would get out of the love and grati- tude of a poor young couple that they had hel) over a hard place? ‘Why do they deprive themselves of the satisfaction they would get of being the good fairy to some hard-working little stenographer or shop girl and waving the magic wand that would supply her with the frock and silver slippers that she craves? Why do they sacrifice the thrill they would get out of seeing their money deepen and broaden the work of their pet charity? Strange that those who cling to every penny as long as they can hold on to it do not realize that they are depriving themselves of one of the greatest pleasures in life and of the very last enjoyment that their money will buy for them. For the benefactions that dead hands bestow are not warm with love same response in gratitude. Of course, it is every man's and woman's duty to safeguard age, but after they have done thft T am urging them not to wait until after they are dead to do good with the money they do not need for their own use, but to spend it on thg pte«;:‘ph and the causes they want to help while they can still get a kick out of it. Posthumous gratitude is a feeble emotion. It is doubtful if an angel in | heaven cares two bits' worth whether its name is chiseled in stone above the | door of a library or hospital or not. But to play Providenge yourself, to feed the | hungry and clothe the naked, to lighten the sorrows of the old, to give some boy and girl the chance in the world they would never have had but for you—that | fills the heart with the purest happiness it can ever know. All of us have among our family and friends those who are less well off than we are and for whom we mean to provide when we die. We mention them in our wills and salve our consciences in that way, but we never do a thing to help them in the present. ‘That is hard on the poor relation, but it is harder on us, because by holdi on to our money until death loosens our clutch we have cut ourselves out of the things that make life most worth living.

The special training that you provide for some boy and = girl that enables them to earn a better salary.

You will never spend money that l’l’f‘t‘l‘ g):tlls much for as when you invest it in the people you know who need a e help. So why not do it now while you can rejoice in the happiness you bring | them instead of waiting to leave them something when you are dead? That may be too late to do them any good. The ambitious young people you could have saved years of struggle have either succeeded in spite of you or gone under because of you.

So if your skin does not seem a good color to"you, try choosing another face powder. “The tendency nowadays is to put too much orange and too much brown into face powders, as well as into rouge and lipstick. At first this was done to give a sophisticated effect and to get away from the pink and white, very youthful and very simple make-up that had been in fashion. In my opinion, the orange make-up has becn overdone. Rose-red and geranium- red are far more becoming than the orange red used in the last few years. Try a face powder one or two shades lighter than what you have been using. Use a fairly bright red for rouge and lipstick, but be sure it is red, with a good deal of blue in it rather than a red that runs to orange. If you do not understand this, put several boxes of rouge together and compare their colors and you will see what I mean. If you use vanishing cream as a try this stunt to overcome a Mix a few drops of liquid rouge with your jar of cream until it is the very faintest pink. This is very effective in overcnmlnf a skin that is pale and unhealthy looking. If the cream goes streaky, simply mix it up again before you use it. Do not ever use too much make-up. A rather pale face looks well with the black dresses that are so smart this year. If the cheeks are pale, the lips must have a fair amount of color.
