A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK Bands as Insertions in Sleeves BY MARY MARSHALL. “I have a problem that maybe you can help me solve,” writes a reader. “Several weeks ago I bought a new navy blue wool crepe dress. It fits per- fectly, only that the sleeves are too short, and as they fit in close cuffs at the wrists this makes the dress uncom- fortable and most unattractive. Un- fortunately I didn’t discover the trouble until after I had worn the dress. I want to wear the dress to work so I don't like to make it fhort sleeved. Do k that I could set in a band the needed length? I might use some of the ribbon to trim the neckline so that it would not look too obvious.” Of course you might use the ribbon to piece down the sleeves but it is better to use some form of trimming that ac- tually appears on some of the new . So I am suggesting that you use a lattice effect of narrow bands of \navy blue silk. Buy crepe de chine to match as nearly as possible the tone of the wool crepe and cut it in bias strips about three-quarters of an inch wide. Be sure that the biases are cut very evenly. Fold them over, with edges turned under, to form bands about a quarter inch wide and blind stitch along the edges and press. ‘The sketch shows a new dress in which bands of this sort were used to form an insertion in the sleeve of the ! sort you need. Cut the sleeves care- fuily 3 or 4 inches above the elbow. Turn in the edges and stitch down and press. Baste a plece of paper under the two portions of the sleeve so s to keep the two edges an equal distance apart. The sleeves should be turned wrong side out so that the paper is on the right side. Arrange one strip of the bias banding so as to make a zig-zag ar- arrangement and baste the points down. Now without removing the paper, stitch along the edges, catching in the bias bands. A single zig-zag of the bands may be arranged at the neckline. Everyday Psychology BY -Dl. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Art of Thinking. Every once in a while the psycholo- gists over the country go in for a re- vival of the psychology of thinking. ‘The big idea is that every one should learn to think and think straight. They call such thinking an art. It promises a minimum of unhappiness in the world, a maximum of personal charm; a rapid rise in the standard of education; in brief, a fuller life. This advice from the psychological savants has always seemed to be a little out of tune with the actual nature of human beings. Thinking is a pain- ful process. Who, after all, wants to see this real world in all its reality? ‘There’s something thrilling about be- liefs that can't be demonstrated by the iogic of reality. -If you were to reason all the foolish beliefs out of the minds of men, more than half of the joy would be taken out of life. I ‘don’t, for example, believe there is anything to the myth about Friday the 13th. But somehow I find myself wondering about it every time these two time markers get together on the calendar. For the time being at least I find myself an imaginary member of an imaginary group whose credulity about Friday the 13th is something of a thrill, as well as an admonition. Anyway there is something about Fri- day the 13th that makes it different from other days. One can't help con- cluding that something is added to the feeling of living. At the same time nothing is actually taken away. Thinking may be an art. So is feel- ing. Grills Are Mainstay ¢ At Delicious Dinners | them, and lay the half-cooked bacon BY SALLY MONROE. A'l‘ any restaurant frequented by | numbers of business men at lunch- eon time you would find that grills are | well liked. How:ver, an ever-‘ncreas- ing numb:r of men are adopting the custom of going without meat for lunch- eon. “Meat once a day” is the order of many a doctor, even to patients who are not actually disordered. Men, like ‘women, realize that when meat is served up on one plate. Grills were first considered a mascu- Hine meal. Few women wanted such a hearty luncheon as the old-time grill. Now, of course, men are eating a light ‘With Ham. ‘Your grill may consist of grilled ham, th mushrooms, pineapple and white | potatoes with greeen peas, laid on each plate before s°rving. The ham is par- | iled before it is placed upon the grill nd so are the mushrooms and po- en. An interesting grill containing broiled fish could easily be devised by the clever housewife.

LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Yestidday was my sister Gladdises baby's berthday, being one, and rite | after supper ma called up Gladdis on the telefone, saying, Did you take the babys picture today, O I think youre awful, I think youre beyond werds, | such_a mother, Im very angry with| you, Im not going to tawk to you, good | by. Y. And she sat down looking sad, sa g, The ideer of not having a foto- graph of your own grandchild‘ on his ferst berthday, its the most neglectful thing I ever herd of. How will Glad- | dis feel in the years to come when Willie is grown up and asks to see how he looked on his ferst berthday and | Gladdis is obliged to confess that she wasent even thawtful enough to take a single picture, ma sed. O, he’ll survive it, pop sed. Nobody ever took & picture of me on my ferst berthday and Ive hardly had a days sickness in my life, he sed. Thets no reason for visiting the sins of the grate grandparents on the 3rd and 4th generations, ma sed.

A YOUNG woman writes me that she has recently read a symposium in which 50 men described their ideals of feminine perfection, and upon taking a calm and unbiased inventory of her own charms and graces she finds that she measures up to their requirements in every respect. She is young, beautiful, in- telligent, amiable, domestic, cheerful, companionable, affectionate, and she feels she is Feculhrl_v fitted to be a good wife and mother, yet, although she is 23 yeéars old, she has few dates and no man has ever popped the question to her. And she wants to know why this is thus. 1 don’t wonder that the poor girl is bewildered, for it would seem that any maiden who carried that line of attractions would have to call out the police to protect her from an army of suitors who knew a good thing when they saw it and who were determined to marry her, whether or no. It must be that the men in her bailiwick are singularly lacking in percep- tion and appreciation or else she makes one or the other of the following mis- takes in dealing with them: The most common mistake that the unpopular girl makes is in being too eager for the attentions of men. She is boy crazy and she hasn't the subtlety to hide it under a decent cloak of reserve. She is tickled to death if any man no- tices her and if one takes her to the movies she simply performs flipflops of gratitude before him. She has no pride and she will become a filler-in at a party and accept a last-minute invitation and lap up any sort of second-hand courtesy as a thirsty dog will a drink of water. Now it is a fatal thing for a girl to give away her hand and let men find out that she is an unappropriated blessing, for men seem to have no confidence in their own opinion about women. They always want a girl to be O. K."d by some other man, and the more the better. They don't want to date up a date- less girl. They want to step out with one who could go with a dozen other boys if she wanted to. Practically no man wants the woman who wants him. He has no appetite for the ripe peach that drops into his mouth. The one he desires is the one that hangs highest on the tree and that he will have to risk his neck to get. It is the girl who flouts boys and who can get along without them who piques their interest, not the one who sits around and waits for them to come along and Another mistake the unpopular girl makes is in pursuing boys and running them into the earth. She overworks the telephone, calling boys up at their places of business and wanting to know why they haven't been to see her, and what they are going to do tonight, and tomorrow night, and all the other nights, and what's the matter with going somewhere to dance or to the theater. She writes a dozen letters to their one and woe betide the incautious lad who is beguiled by the moonlight into making a sentimental speech to her. The next day he reads Q?et;ngrageriv]lent in the papes and mamma and papa we. ~“me him into the bosom of the family. Now a man is by nature the pursuer, or at any rate he thinks he is, and nothing disillusions him more with a girl than for her to run after him. For her to hound him over the phone trying to make dates rouses his sales resistance to the last pitch and besides he is infuriated with her for risking him his job by calling him away from his work. It is the bird on the wing that fires a man’s sporting blood, not the tame duck who is begging him to take her home with him. And that explains why the girls who are the most anxious to get mar- | ried never get a wedding ring, Another mistake that the unpopular girl makes is in being artificial. Posing. | Putting on airs. Pretending to be what she is not. Meri are usually simple and | direct creatures who say what they think and are even as God made them, and insincerity in a girl frightens them off more quickly than any other one thing. They don’t know what to do with her, They can deal with just a plain, human girl who is on their own plane, but | they shy off from one who acts as if she were a grand duchess or one who affects to be so high-browed that she reads Einstein in her lighter moments, or one who | acts as if she were slumming when they take her out for an evening's diversion. | Another mistake that the unpopular girl makes is in overdressing. It takes | more courage than the average poor youth possesses to ask the Queen of Sheba | out to the movies or a cafeteria. He figures out that his salary wouldn't buy her | snakeskin Shoes and so D passes her by for fome girl who appears to be in his ss. y a girl loses a good husband because she looks If | Dafly Hint from Paris instead of & bargain-chaser. b (Copyright. 1931.)

GAIN John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1924, finds himself in the role of legal repre- sentative for a branch of Congress. This time he will represent the Sen- ate in what promises to be a spectacular fight between that body and President Hoover ~over the right of Chairman Smith of the power commission to his office. Twice before he has acted for the House. ‘This white-haired West with eyes, projecting chin and easy smile still is recalled in the minds of many in all parts of the country. Celebrated is the remark of former Chief Jus- tice Edward Doug- lass White concerning him: “The Supreme Court thinks so much of John Davis that when he appears for the Government the other side hardly gets ‘due process of law.’"” He is recognized generally as one of the country’s ablest lawyers. Probably it is not so generally known that he plays a violin, enjoys smok’l‘n% tha during his college days he sang bass in a church choir and baritone in the glee club, boxed and played tennis; that he can ride and play erratic golf So far as is known he cares little for bridge. Even less generally known, perhaps, is the fact that he once thrashed a political foe of his father, and at an- other time punched the jaw of his father's legal opponent during the trial | of a case in court. Both displays w!re" provoked by slighting remarks. Davis was victoricus in his other legal | fights for Congress. They came when he sat as a member of the House from West Virginia. In 1912 a United States Circuit Court ! judge was impeached by the House on 13 counts of malfeasance in office, and haled before the bar of the Senate. Davis acted as one of the House managers. The judge was convicted on five o the charges and removed. Out of eight persons impeached up to that time, only three had been convicted. This judge was one of the three. ‘Three months later Davis again acted for the House in a legal contest. A man took offense at remarks made on the floor by a member of the House, accosted him in a park later and at- tacked him personally. The House adopted a resolution call- ing for an investigation. The com- mittee was instructed to make recom- mendations as to how the privileges and immunities of members of Congress might be protected. Davis acted as chairman. He pre- pared the report and submitted a reso- lution directing that the man be brought before the House “on the charge of being in contempt.” After a_ bitter debate which lasted for five hours, the Davis resolution prevailed. ‘The man was arrested, brought be- fore the House, and in the presence of its membership was rebuked by Champ Clark, then speaker. JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH. QUITE A FEW PERSONS WOULD WELCOME AN ANTI-FREEZE SOLUTION A FOR APARTMENT M. D.—Such expressions as “quite a v, quite & number,” “quite a good etc, while not grammatical in the strictest sense, have the sanction of almost universal usage. “Quite” means to the fullest extent; entirely. The sentence, “Entirely a number of women were present,” does not make sense, but that is exactly what “quite a number” means. . You’'re missing a wonderful treat if you haven’t tried the FAMOUS De'erfoot farm Sausage IT'S WINTER in New England and that means sausage-making time at the Deer- foot Farm. If you could be there and see this wonderful sausage as it is made, you'd cry for a skillet and a fire to cook some then and there. The pork that is used for Deerfoot Farm Sausage is the same kind you buy for your table—tender, fresh roasts and chops. No trimmings or tough parts. Then—and this means a lot—the meat is chopped fine in- stead of ground. Lastly is the season- ing process and a secret blend of savory spices is mixed in to give the flavor that will win you forever. Don’t put off trying Deerfoot Farm §eu- sage. It goes great at any meal and combines tastefully with eggs, hot breads, vegetables and grilled apples, bananas or pineapples. Dealers everywhere sell it—linked sausage in pound and half-pound cartons; Sausage Patties in half-pound cartons and sausage meat in one and two pound bags. DEERFOOT FARMS CO; Southborough, Mass.
