‘WOMAN’S PAGE. NANCY PAGE Jacket Morning, Noon, Afternoon and Night. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. As Nancy studied the Southern fash- fons she realized that they were featur- ing the jacket in all conceivable types and materials. What is worn at South- ern resorts is usually a good indication of what will be worn up North in the yeal Summer time. Accordingly she always paid much attention to the styles. She found that a jersey jacket fitted and made midshipman style was quite the thing to wear with sport outfits. The jacket was double breasted and had large buttons as trimming. With this, of course, was & sport beret. For wear a little later in the day she selected a tailored jacket of linen, this 1s worn over an eyelet embroidery dress. This embroidery is frequently done on batiste or linen. Of course, Nancy real- ized that this dress might be of printed linen or cotton with a plain linen or cotton jacket. For afternoon wear the jacket appears again. This time it may be of brown flat crepe, worn with a yellow flat crepe dress. The dress itself is quite apt to | be sleeveless, but the jacket will have sleeves coming just below the elbow. With an outfit of this type, gloves will 0 3 i\\\\\“fi be worn as a matter of course. In fact, ;]ovu are almost as omnipresent as jackets. When a lace evening dress is ¥ | 4 worn the chances are of lace will appear as a part of the outfit. The sleeves will be short, but will be banded with fur, long-haired. ‘These wide bands of fur will be on the sleeves, which are in themselves cut ahort enough so that the finished slecve comes above the elbow. Once again, of course, the gloves appear. P A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. FAI‘ILMR to every officer and doughboy of the 26th (Yankee) Division in the World War is the name Stubby. There's not one of them who will not take time off to tell you of the day Stubby in the Toul sector in 1918 stopped a piece of shrapnel. ‘There’s not one who can’t tell you of the time Stubby aroused a sleeping sergeant just time to save his life before a gas attack. Stubby was a stray dog that drifted into the Yale Bowl on that Summer day of 1917 when the 102d Infantry of Connecticut was being mobilized. to Repre- in 5> Z, (=] Bob Conroy, ‘now secretary sentative Fenn of that State, saw him and decided that Stubby should go to the Yankee Division, saw some of the stiffest fighting of the war, and at the close was mustered out a hero in his own right and acclaimed one of the most famous of war dogs. One of “Stubby’s” greatest admirers is ‘Representative William P. Connery, jr., of Massachusetts, who was a member of the Yankee Division. ther day Connery learned that #n oil painting of this famous dog had been found. Promptly he introduced a bill in Congress calling for an appro- * priation of $1,000 with which to buy it and present it to the Red Cross. “Stubby” died in Washington in 1926, st the age of 10, but he may be seen any day in the museum at Red Cross headquarters, Taxidermists have pre- served his body. In a glass case, with “his book"—a diary of writings and hotographs of his war record—and all is medals, he stands in a lifelike pos- ture. Within the plaster cast, in a sealed container, are his ashes. If Congress agrees to buy the oil painting it, too, will be placed nearby. After the war Stubby was a familiar figure wherever his buddies gathered. He led all the American Legion parades his legs could carry him to, but in his later years he had to slow up. He was made a life member of the Red Cross, of the Y. M. C. A. and the American n. President Wilson shook his paw on Christmas day of 1918. President Harding received him officially at the White House, as did also Presi- | dent Coolidge. Gen. Pershing personally pinned a wound stripe on him as the result of that shrapnel incident in the Toul sec- tor. In addition to his wound stripe, he wore three service stripes. The chamois coat that now covers was made by the women of ‘hateau - Thierry, who embroidered Shereon the flags of the allies.

Men are not helpless creatures, but they are busy and preoccupied crea- tures, and they are dependent on their helpmates to enable them to save on the cost of existence. A man busy at work at his office, bench or route | has no time for thoughts of home | economy. Most men, for example, prefer to shave themselves. By doing so they realize an appreciable saving in a short time. But not every man can remem- ber to have his razor honed, or to buy new blades for his safety. If the wife at home will observe and take n a slight economy such as one possil ible. Men will procrastinate, too, about having shoes repaired. If the woman at home will quietly observe and take notice of the state of affairs and have shoes repaired in time she will help to curtail shoe expenses for the bread winner. A worn-down heel can render & shoe shapeless in a short time, Clothing requires the same atten- tion. A slight tear caught in time will avert an expensive tailoring or repair bill. A suit that is kept properly cleaned will not attract moths. A man will often miss what should be a sore spot in his wife’s sight. Merely railing about things that are forgotton or overlooked does not help ejther the man, his appearance or his| cost of living. The time spent in use- less wrangling and complaining might Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN, be profitably spent in having the nec- essary repairs or replacements effected, Reminding a man to keep his um- brella at the place of business is one way of lessening dry cleaning and press- ing bills. - If rubbers are kept there constantly, colds that mean days away from work, important engagements missed, doctors’ bills and so forth, will | be prevented. ‘There is no end to the number of things that a man may forget and a woman should remember. There are even women who buy their husbands’ smoking supplies where prices are low- est, to economize in that respect. While a woman has a good part of the day to think about these things, a man has only a few minutes before or after breakfast, and a short time in the evening when he desires most to relax. Help your husband to economize, be- cause he needs your help and depends upon you to give it. . Orange Bread.

OLDEN ROWN TABLE SYRUP Parents Err DorothyDix| HY do parents use so little common sense in dealing with their children? ‘Why do they find it so hard to realize that their boys and girls are flesh- and-blood human beings, with natural human impulses and reactions, and deal with them on that platform? None of us who are not senile have forgotten how we felt about things in our early youth. We remember how we felt when we couldn’t go to a party, as if there were no use in struggling on with black disappointments. We recall how we resented unreasonable restrictions that our parents put upon us. ‘We remember how avid we were for pleasure, how tireless our feet were in the dance, how restless we were. We remember how vital it was to us to have the latest cut In trousers or the loudest necktie or the last thing in party dresses and, above all, we remember how easily, like little lJambs, we could have been led along any road our parents wished us to travel, but what stubborn little mules we were when they tried to drive us the way they desired us to go. ‘There are no middle-aged men and women in the world whose minds do not teem with memories of their own experiences, of their own adolescence, but it seems to teach them nofl.hlnm!nmd to give them no tip about managing their own children. They seem to k that their sons and daughters are an entirely new species of genus homo, with none of the emotions, desires and inclinations thlhthey themselves had, and that they will not act under the same conditions as they acted. They even go farther than this. They stultify themselves into be- lieving that their own youngsters are entirely different from other people’s chil- dren and will not do as the Jones or the Brown children do. That is why fathers and mothers lie awake at night agonizingly wondeflns where their wandering boys and girls are. It is why the{ ‘Wweep over sons ant daughters they cannot control. It is why their hearts break with disappointment over foolish children. No one can deny that a wayward child is a sorrow’s crown of sorrow, and that it is the hand that you have borne and that is bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh that can drive the dagger deepest into your soul. And so it is both pitiful and exasperating to think that parents bring most of the trouble about tHeir children upon themselves, and that they could save themselves all the buckets of tears they shed if they would only use a little intelligence in handling their boys and girls. : I have in mind as T write some tragedies in the making which are going to break the hearts of the parents and probably wreck the lives of the children, but which nobody can avert because the parents believe that they are stronger than nature, stronger than youth, and that, anyway, their children have not the same desires as other youngsters. In one case there is a fine and talented boy of 20. His parents are very am- bitious for him to become a great lawyer, and they feel that it is a waste of time for him to dally with girls and that an early marriage would be a handicap to him. In order to do this they try to segregate him from the female sex.

Every cent of the money she earne ‘was spent for the child’s musical educa- tion. The rest of the day the mother cooked and swept and dusted and did all the rest of the work of the house. When she had a few minutes, she sewed pretty clothes for the child so that she might look nice when she play- ed before strangers. ‘The more the mother worked and sacrificed, the more she thought she was doing a noble thing. Apparently it never occurred to her in those years to find out whether this training was really what the child wanted.
