Newest Sort of Ascot Scarfs BY MARY The smartest apd the most wear- ble sort of scarf for late Winter wear 15 the ascot, and there is every reason to believe that it will be a reigning favorite for Spring. You can wear it under your fur coat or your fur-col- lared coat or suit jacket and later on you can wear it with the coat dress ©or _suit made without fur. If you want to be well dressed and | ‘well protected against late Winter wind: you should own several ascot scarfs, if you cannot affurd to buy one | 48| and you. can make it. It should be e inches long, or somewhat shorter, about point, and not more than 4 inches wide at the 9 inches wide at the wides back. ‘The newest sort of ascot is made with a large button and buttonhole at the front. The scarf shown in the rketch was made from white cotton pique to be worn with a black suit or dress. The button is black and the buttonhole worked crosswise on one end of the scarf as shown in the sketch is done also in black. The button gives an ornamental touch to the scarf and serves the purpose of keeping the ascot tied securely.

Peter Rabbit, squatting under a little hemlock tree, heard the sound of crunching snow draw nearer and nearer. Peeping out from his snug hiding place he apparently saw who it was ap- proaching and sighed ever so little with relief. “Farmer Brown's Boy,” he mut- tered, “and Bowser the hound isn't with him.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. Egocentricity. Students of human nature, be they ancient or modern, have generally re- garded personality as a structure of some sort In other words, they have been searching for personality blue prints. Following the prints, they have erected all sorts of psychological struc- tures called types, personality types. Perhaps the most interesting of all| their structural concepts is that which | goes under the name of egocentricity— that which has something to do with | centers of interest and influence. What are the signs of egocentricity? What are the earmarks of an egocen- tric? Of course, it's easy enough to sa that an egocentric is cne who regard: | himself as the center of his social eir- | cle. But that description doesn't say | much, for every one is sometimes of an | egocentric. | Real egocentricity doesn't show up until one is in the neighborhood of 40. Selfishness, which is often mistaken | for it, shows up any time. | | Some psychologists assume that ego- | centricity is best known in terms of | | thanataphobia—the fear of death. The | egocentric spends the better part of | his time trying to block, frustrate and | minimize the inevitable. Every wrinkle, every gray hair, every | superfiuous ounce of weight, every ex- | tracted tooth, every birthday—these | are the little things which call atten- | tion to that fearful culmination called | death. When you find some one wor- | rying over such things, you may say that his personality is formulated on the pattern of egocentricity. However, you should assume that egocentricity has many centers. There | are many interests which the egocen- tric uses as his starting point. (Copyright, 1931.) By Thornton W. Burgess. him the difference, for Lightfoot eats| | balsam fir as well as hemlock. For one | | thing, although the leaves or needles grow in much the same manner as those of the hemlock, they are longer. | | and when a few of the twigs are crushed |in the hand they are wonderfully fra- ant. Farmer Brown's Boy was doing this very thing and smelling the crushed | leaves. | “There is no odor like it,” said he. ‘When I have the time I must come over here and get some to make & bal- | | sam pillow. Just to smell it is enough to tell what tree it is. Thére is a beau- | tiful balsam over yonder. ‘At Christmas time it was like a Christmas tree with brown candles. That is another way I can tell a balsam as far as I can see the cones.” The cones, you know, are the fruit | of the tree and contain the seeds. The | balsam cones are quite slender and | sometimes four inches long. growing | upright on the upper side of the branch | quite as Parmer Brown's Boy had said, | like candles on a Christmas tree. Now, | however, the scales and seeds had ! | fallen from the cones, leaving only the center or core, as if a candle should melt and leave the wick standing straight. “Well, this will never do,” exclaimed | Farmer Brown's Boy. “I haven't come for balsam this time. I must be mov- |ing on." | 'He had gone but a little way farther | when Lightfoot the Deer leaped from | behind some young hemlock tree and | | bounded away. He didn't hurry. for he | recognized Farmer Brown's Boy and | knew that there was nothing to fear {from him. The latter whistled sharply | |and Lightfoot stopped. turned to face | him, his head held high and his big | ears pointed somewhat forward. He was without his antlers and Farmer Brown's Boy could see two little knobs where | the antlers had been and where new ones already were beginning to grow. | For a full minute Lightfoot stood with- | out moving. Then he turned and trotted | out of sight | “And to think,” said Farmer Brown's | Boy, “that men can want to kill such | a beautiful creature as that.” Then he walked over to a tree and began to look | the trunk over. It was a big tree and | now and then he would reach and break something off and drop it in a bag From this tree he went to | where he did the same thing Rabbit, who had followed out of curi- osity, was much puzzled. “Now what,” said he, “is he after? much about trees, probably would have | ge seems to be looking for something mistaken for the same kind of ‘8 treed on ‘those: trees. as the one under whose branches he| that anybody could want on those trees. | ticularly ki ¥ h | that anybody co s <. | ticularly kind to mature figures.

THE _EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. D. (. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1931, OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL M O D | Promotion time always brings a crop of complaints about teachers. Most of the children who blame the teachers for their failures are wrong. The teachers are always glad to have chil- dren do well. If they err one side or the other it is usually on the side of generosity. More unfit children are like'y to be promoted than to be left| PaR1Q erodm & OF THE MOMENT maker a coal back. | “Yes, but how can you expect & boy | 0 get promoted if his teacher hates him? When he makes a mistake she screeches at him, stamps her foot on his toes if he gets his feet out into the aisle and you know the seats are too small for these boys. How can a boy | get promoted if he has a teacher like | that? If he turns his head or whispers | she slaps him in the face.” “And you didn't say a Word about all this until the end of the term? How did it happen that you allowed a teacher to treat your son in this way without protesting? Your protest might as well hav been made at the beginning of the term as at the end.” The situation is plain. The boy was | backward, and behaved as all backward | children do. They wiggle and squirm. They cannot hold their attention on the | subject because th-y do not understand it. Then they whisper, they strive to find release from what has become an untolerable_situation. Now if the teach-r is the right sort she interprets all this very soon and sets to work to adjust the child. He is examined, treated, regarded, and when term end comes no such complaint can be registered justly or unjustly. The| real teacher rarely has such complaints registered against her even by the most chronic of I:ftovers. But what if the teacher is not the right sort? ‘There are some such, Al- though they are on the pay rolls of the schools they were never t-achers in the right sense of the word.

In our town we have quite a number of eligible young ladies aspiring to matrimony. These girls will probably not be thrown with young men of their social position and culture. In fact, there are very few single men in the town. This is a vital question and we hope that you will see fit to give it your immediate attention. A BUNCH OF GIRLS. Answer: Undoubtedly this Go‘vemmem. is going paternal, and Uncle Sam is prescribing many things, but so far he hasn’t undertaken to provide husbands | and wives for spinsters and bachelors. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE So there isn't any official national matrimonial bureau as there is a De- partment of Justice and a Department of War, though it might be a good thing if one were established and if the Government took a hand in match- making and forming domestic alliances as it does in arranging foreign treaties At any rate, the idea is intriguing, and it might do a lot to promote more and better marriages if there were a national matrimonial bureau that sent out bulletins about how to pick out a husband or a wife as it does about how to pick out live stock and about what to do in cases of domestic discord as it does about how to cure the pip in chickens. - ‘There is no denying that the plight of the girls in small towns is a desperate one. If it is true that matches are made in heaven, then the angels must weep tears of pity and hclplessness over the situation in many villages where there are dozens of pretty, attractive, weli educated girls who are fitted to make the very highest type of wives and mothers, but who have no chance to make suitable marriages because all the young men of energy and ambition have !"“h&:lflud to seek their fortunes in places that offer better opportunities for ‘ess. One thing is certain. The solution of their difficulty is not to be found in acquiring a mail-order husband, because there is no one to guarantee the quality of the goods you are getting. He might be as he represented himself and again he might not be, and returning a mate that you have grabbed off the bargain counter, sight unseen, is an expensive proceeding. For divcrces come high and nobody who has been through one is ever quite the same afterward. ‘The only thing you could be sure of in getting a husband in answer to an advertisement is that he would be an inferior article and one that nobody who have amiable dispositions and who are good business men and capable of sup- porting a family never have to answer “husbands-wanted” advertisements. The women in their own communities know a good thing when they see it and are ready and willing to tie up with such men. DOROTHY DIX. | (Copyright, 1931.) The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD.

You fell so fine for a few days that your work flies off your fingers, you go home at night and help get din- ner, go out and dance, and get up the next morning feeling grand and do the same thing—perhaps take a long walk or shop for hours. Then all of a sudden you find yourself with an attack of indigestion or a cold. You think you get indigestion because you have weak lungs or a delicate throat, when the truth is that you zet sick simply because you have ex- | hausted yourself. Any girl who works for a living Is bound to get too tired from time to time. But what you can avoid is the sort of nervous, .excited energy which makes you go on and on like mad for several ‘days. If you could make your days more even, you'd find you had fewer colds and less indigestion. The next time you have either one or the other, just stop and think whether it wasn't brought on by your being over- tired, rather ‘than by something you ate or from bad air you breathed. ‘When you are rested you can eat al- most any food without indigestion, and when you are not tired you can go out in any weather without catching a cold.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Puffy unyn.i | [ | | | Young Peter Page was 21; years old. He was a self-reliant little chap who fed himself, fetched and carried for his mother and for Joan. Because he was so willing Joan used to ask him to do many errands for her. He was fond of | his cousin and usually was only too glad to do what she asked. She had one habit which Aunt Nancy was trying hard tb break. Peter did not speak any too plainly and Joan would ask him to say some word or sentence and then laugh at his mispronunciation. She | would keep on and on asking him to| repeat it until finally Peter would say, “Won't say it for you.” Joan would re- tort, “You will, t00.” And Peter would come back with, “Won't, won't.” At fist Nancy and Peter admired the spunk of their young son. They chuckled to themselves. But when Peter began to answer other re- quests with “won't, won't” they decided it was not so cute. Grown-ups are amused when a child first uses grown- up tactics. They laugh at him and call | him a “cute litile tike, independent as they make them: mind of his own, too, by George,” is apt to be a father’s com- ment. But before long that cuteness wears off and becomes what it actually is—impertinence. And then the child is punished. “It must be hard for a child to learn that a deed he is ap-| plauded for one day he is punished for the next. Grown-ups must seem in- comprehensible.” This was Nancy's sympathetic summing up of the situ-| ation. She resolved to stop Joan's teas- ing and to refrain from showing amuse- ment at actions which a few days later | she would have to punish. ‘ " Salt Fish Balls.

Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me how to reduce large hips, waist and ab- domen. M. P. 8. Answer.—If you are overweight for your age and height, you will find that djeting in connection with reducing ex- ercises will help you develop & good figure quicker than exercises alone. It is ‘not necessary to starve yourself, but just eat a little less of each dish, espe- cially of potatoes and breadstuffs. Next in importance is correct posture. Hold your figure as tall as you can, chin up, chest expanded and abdomen in. not depend on a corset to make your abdomen flat, but form the habit of contracting the muscles and make them firm and strong by regular exercise. Here are a few suggestions. (1) For reducing the abdomen: Lie on your back in bed. Raise your head ur and rest the chin on your chest. Slowly lower the head backward. Re- pen; slowly four or five times. (2) Stand erect with hands on hips. Bend trunk to the right. Rise. Bend to left. Repeat 10 to 20 times. (3) For hips and waist: Lie on one side on the floor. Stretch one leg out in front and the other behind, keeping Her skin was as smooth as a baby | knees straight.

Camphorated oil scattered about in places frequented by ants will s00n exterminate them. Shin of beef makes a good beef a la mode. Cut it up the same as for a stew, brown the pieces in hot fat, then add water; cook in a pot, the same as for pot roast, and serve with gravy. Meat thus browned retains its juices, and this adds greatly to the flavor of the dish. To prevent eggs from spatter- ing over the stove when frying, sprinkle a little flour into the grease. Soaking bacon in water for a few minutes before frying will prevent the fat from running. (Coprright, 1931.) For waist, abdomen and him:} age for your age and height.

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) Is there any preparation I can make at home to restore color to brown hair? (2) What kind of oil is used to ciose the pores in the skin? (3) Is there any prepared quince seed ofl? AN INTERESTED READER. Answer.— (1) The hair can be stained or dyed. but the color can never be “restored” after it has turned gy or white in the course of nature. Pre- maturely faded hair that has lost its color through ill health may sometimes be restored when the health is re- stored, however. There are hair dyes that one may use at home, but I do not recommend home dyeing of the hair, because it is seldom done skillfully. It | is far more satisfactory to have an ex- perienced beauty operator apply the dye than to attempt it oneself. The sage and black tea lotion that is used for ;hnh‘ that is just beginning to fade & little is not capable of coloring hair that is largely gray. (2) Perhaps you | are thinking of muscle cil made of |3 ounces oil of sweet almonds. 2 ounces sweet oil. 1!y ounces cologne water, '3 dram oil of rose and . dram tincture of benzoin.

This may not mean extrava- gance, for almost every household has some set that is an heirloom. Such a set should always be supplemented by another one of the homemaker's per- sonal choice. If one wishes to be able to have onec set do for any color scheme there are two kinds of sets that lend themselves | to such plans. One of these is the plain white set and the other is the gold and white. It may be said to start with that plain sets should be of fine ware, for in them the tone of white is of great importance. Shapes of dishes are also signficant, since it is by these two features, color and shape, that beauty is found.. Decorated table services may be costly or cheap. Some of the hand- painted china is enormously costly, prices for a single piece mounting to three figures. In these articles the ware is of the highest grade as well as the decoration, both combining to lend beauty. The colors give the key- note for table decorations. Decorations that have more than one hue are adaptable to color schemes. Green and white accord with various schemes. The hue indicates an im- mediate note of color, but it is one that harmonizes with all others. Pink is a favorite color and one that is dainty to accent in table furnishings.
