WOMAN’S PAGE. Dress Has Spangled Cape Collar BY MARY “Three years ago I bought a cock- tall jacket to wear over a sleeveléss evening dress,” writes a reader. “Actu- t:? rfld more for the jacket than I did for the dress. I wore it quite a bit but no one seems to be wear these ?ungled jackets any more some of the spangles are missing. I usually give my clothes away to [ one who needs them more than 1 do but this jacket would hardly be useful o any one as it is, 30 I was wondering ¥ T couldn’t make it over. The spangles are off around the bottom and around the edges of the sleeves. It was a straight, hip length jacket. I thought maybe I could cut it off to make a short eton jacket and cut the sleeves %0 make them elbow length. Then I could wear it with a sleeveless black met evening dress that I am making over. Do you think a jacket of that sort would look up to date?” Spangled jackets are seldom seen at present, which is perhaps odd since many sorts of short jackets are seen and spangles have been revived. The | sketch shows a new dress with a spangled cape collar that offers a better MARSHALL. suggestion. Rip off the gles from iv‘nu'old]leknmdnw em on to & ttle cape collar made of chiffon or georgette. In the dress sketched the cape collar forms a yoke of the dress, it you ocould get the same effect with the cape collar entirey separate. ou will need a very fine needle threaded with fine silkk to work with and you will have to work carefully %0 as not to draw the chiffon. The spangles should be sewn on at regular intervals on back and front of the cape collar. When you have used all that you need you should put the rest away to use in case the thread breaks and some of the spangles drop off. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLIE MONROE. Party Refreshments. A party at this time of year should | really be seasonable. That is to say, | there should be something Spring- like about the refreshments. The other day I went to & party where jce cream and little cakes and coffee were the only refreshments. There were lots of guests, and 8o there were necessarily lots of plates of ice cream. It was vanilla ice cream. And it had strawberry sauce on it. One lus- cious whole strawberry on each dish, and some sauce made of crushed straw- berries and sirup. It couldn’t have cost & whole lot. But that one ripe, red strawberry on each plece of ice cream was really very pretty and most Springlike—as well as very good to eat. And the sirup of sugar and straberry juice and crushed strawberries and water made a delicious sauce—in conjunction with the one ripe, red strawber was given by tiny Spring onions and little red radishes served with the chicken patties. Maybe you didn't like the onions, but at least, they looked Spring like. Cucumber sandwiches would also be suggestive of Spring. To make them, slice a cucumber very thin and arrange the slices on buttered whole wheat bread. Sprinkle with a little salt and epper and a drop of onion juice, if and one cucumber will make lots of them. They give a fresh, Springlike air to the sandwich plates. ‘Watercress, too, makes Springtime sandwiches of great deliciousness. It spread between buttered slices of whole | wheat or white bread, sprinkled with lemon juice and salt. MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE BY MOLLIE MERRIOK. HOLLYWOOD, Calif, March 11 N.ANA)—Hollywood is all in fer- ment over the arrival in Cuernevaca, Mexico, of Lady Louis Mountbatten and her 50 trunks. It looks like more than a week end stay. Lady Mountbatten is well known in Hollywood and Cuernavaca is the divorce mart of the moment. So the five-corner famous are putting their heads together and wondering why the former Edwina Ashley is landing with so much luggage in the place where | marriage knots are untied pronto. | Lady Louis Mountbatten was widely entertained by the local famous. At Pickfair she was honor guest at several | large parties. Wasn't it here that a young beauty became so entangled in the train of the lady of title that there was a near catastrophe? And didn’t Lady Mountbatten attend a dinner so vast at another famous star’s home that most of the guests looked like something seen through the wrong end of the opera glass to her ladyship from where she sat at the head of an orchid-laden table? At that party Paul Whiteman and his band were one of the incidents of the evening. They got to the party. They were offered cups of cheer. But when the time came to strike up the music, Paul Whiteman couldn’t round up his 50 musicians. They were having one grand and gay time, and that was that. At the present telling Lady Mount- batten has emough trunks for a star. If she adds to that a Mexican divorce, she’ll be fully equipped to compete with any of the local famous. Mexican divorces seem to be more than Mexican marriages. Eu- gene V. Brewster, the millionaire whose marriage in Mexico to Corliss Palmer, movie beauty, caused so much excite- ment some time back, is going to have the knot tied all over again this week, because Mexican ceremonies are not con- sidered 30 binding in courts of law. ‘The Brewster in the famous play “Brewster's Millions” had, if you re- member, hatfuls of money which he must get rid of and couldn't do any- thing but make more, no matter how he tried. This Brewster has managed to MENU FOR A DAY. DINNER. Split Pea Soup. Radishes. Pickles. Baked Slice of Ham, Glazed Swert Potatoes. Baked Squash. Shredded Lettuce Salad, French Dressing.

He lives today in a little house in the rear of one of the big houses he once occupled. His former mansion is rented. The income from this and a couple of other pieces of residenec property form the main part of his income. And un- less something turns up to improve matters, he may lose even these. But Brewster, his money gone, is still happy in the love of the girl for whom he lost wife and estates. They get along so well, in fact, that they want to have the knot retied. Baby Lloyd hasn't been home yet. The small son of Harold Lloyd turned 5 pounds today, but is still living at the hospital, where he is gradually emerg- ing from incubator temperature and preparing to venture forth into one of the most magnificent nurseries yet equipped for a movie baby. And when he gets all set with his platinum mug, his gold spoons, his dis- infected and his unparalleled ele- gance, he'll probably howl for an old piece of dirty rope or a broken scooter abandgned by some ragamuffin. It is that way with children—and with life. In front of Buster Keaton's bungalow a sign readin; “Danger—man at work.” ‘They're looking now for the wag who the letters “wo” before the sec- ond word on the sign. This little hint should give you the key to the situa- tion. If it doesn't, you'll never win & cross-word puzzle contest. (Copyright, 1931. by North American New paper_Alliance.)

Erk, of independent means, imme- | diately made a hobby of his job. The | salary was little inducement to him, but | he put all his energy into his work. He was everlastingly at it. Often he would be found in the committee room as late as 4 o'clock in the morning. | Regular hours meant little to him when | there was something to be done.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, The observant mother knows only too well how quickly the food fancies of the parents are adopted by their keen-eyed children, If Daddy doesn't like rice pudding, neither will young Donald. If mother, or father, makes disdainful comments upon the food or its preparation, the child will critically scrutinize everything put before him. ‘To speak well or to say nothing applies as well to food as to gossip. Such a policy avoids that chorus of “I don't like it” and “It isn't good,” which so harasses the housekeeper. Here is a father who enjoys raw po- tatoes, =0 his yw% son is now de- manding them. e mother, Mrs. O. W, writes: “I surely benefit from your helpful articles. "I have & healthy youngster, 27 months old, who eats a raw potato shortly after his night meal at least four times a week. does this because his daddy I think that raw starch is not for him. Several people tell me that all raw vegetables are good. What is your opinion? Do you consider a bar of plain chocolate candy a day harm- ful to the child?” Raw starch is less easily digested than cooked starch and, while we need some raw foods, & whole diet of them would be neither appetizing nor easily digested. I think by this time you would have seen any ill effects had there been any, but I see no reason why the father cannot curb this habit, especially in the presence of his son, and influence the boy's diet more wholesomely. Raw potatoes might be advisable if this were the only raw food the child or family ever ate, for it is true that raw potatoes contain vitamin C, the anti-scurvy vitamin. It is more than probable, however, that you have oranges and tomatoes and lettuce and raw cabbage in the diet. Give the boy his potato in a form that will be no tax on his digestion. One or two pieces of plain eandy eaten following a meal and as part of the meal are not harmful, but al- lowing the child to regard candy as an invariable accompaniment of each day is unquestionably bad. Candy should not be looked upon as & treat, for then it assumes exaggerated importance in the eyes of the child and he is forever hunting for it. Neither should it be used as a reward or a bribe for good behavior. Soap Economy. Bave all scraps of toilet scap and shaving soap. en you have a good quantity, put them on the stove with water enough to cover. Let boll slowly until they form a thick mass, then pour into a square pan, and when partly cool, cut into squares. This will make an ex- cellent bath soap or soap for tollet uses | when it has dried for two weeks. My Neighbor Says: To remove grease spots from the flcor, sprinkle them with dry soda, pour over this bolling water, let stand a short time, scrub and spot is gone. The intestine on the back of the tail of a lobster should always be removed. The whole lobster is good to eat except the shell and craw, or stomach, which lies be- tween the eyes. A delicious frosting for cake is made by adding maple syrup to confectioner's sugar until it is of the right consistency to spread on cake. Mice object to camphor. If it is put in place frequented by them it will drive them away completely, ‘Waffle sandwhiches are good for Sunday tea. Put two hot waffles together with butter, honey and cne-quarter teaspoon- ful of cinnamon. A dry cork will remove stains from plate or silver more quickly thany anything else, and, of course, it never scratches. If the cork is cut to a point it can be worked into crevices which have become tarnished. (Copyright, 1931.) FEATURES.
