WOMAN’S PAGE Flowerlike Dress Ornaments BY MARY Narrow valenciennes lace and in- sertion are among the old-time trim- mings that have been revived to give ‘women's clothes the flattering feminine touch that fashion demands. Many of the new silk or lightweight wool dresses are made with elaborate guimpes or westees or collars with matching cuffs or undersleeves made of rows and rows | of valenciennes lace and insertion, and the finest of these are, of course, hand | made. They are, of course, rather| fussy and add to the complications of keeping one’s wardrobe in condition | but they are undeniably lovely. 1 On some of the new French dresses valenciennes lace is used to make flower-like ornaments.

The small flowers which are posed at the right shoulder are also made of valenciennes lace and are really not at all difficult. To make a flower you will need about one-fourth yard of lace. This much should be cut off to start with. At one end pick out and draw a thread at the edge of the lace and draw the lace up so that it is slightly gathered. Attach the other end of the lace to the material where you want the center of the flower to be placed and turn the lace round in a spiral arrangement as shown in the detail sketch. Sew the lace in position in this way until you have completed the flower and then tuck the end of the lace under the last outer edge of the flower and sew down inconspicuously. Finish the cen- ter with ten or eleven French knots taken with yellow embroidery cotton. ‘The green stem arrangement that is used with the flowers is made by winding thin milliner's wire with nar- row green baby ribbon. The Woman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD, Who started her career as a_frightened typist and who became -one of the highest paid business women in America. Script Girl in Movies. Perbaps the most peculiar stenogra- as that of script girl in the mov- ing pictures. ‘The script girl is a ste- nographer who ays with a pic- from the time is _begun until it is finished. She usually works for the director. She takes down his dic- tation or his notes and_ instructions for the picture in advance. This is all carefully writ- ten before the first camera starts to shoot. When all this is done and the scenario or script 1s entirely finished, then the script girl follows the director on to the varicus scenes as they are photographed. Her desk is movable. It is a little table with a typewriter, and these are-moved about from spot to spot, sometimes 20 or 30 times in the course of a da When a new scene is about to be pho- tegraphed and the properties are all ar- ranged, suddenly there appear on the scene actors, the director, a confusing- looking group of lights, the mechanism for the sound, four or five mechanics, and the invariable little table with the typewriter on 1. “lowed by a girl with her notebook. In “~enes of the wildest confusion she sits calmly down at tne little table, her pencil poised over her book, and takes down every little thing that is done and said relating to the picture. When the bell rings, showing that the scene is over, her table and typewriter are picked up and moved to the scene of new activity. It's very strange sometimes when pic- | tures are taken on the street amid | crowds and confusion to see this girl calmly seated with her little notebook, taking dictation as calmly as if she were in a quiet office. The job doesn’t pay much—no more than any ordinary stenographer’s job— and it’s very difficult. Considerable knowledge and swift shorthand are re- quired, but that isn't all.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN, Shall T Work for Salary? | About two blocks from our home is a | satisfs restaurant location where four differen attempts have been - made during | the last six months to start up a business.

To the outsider, all of th have been due to a lack of experience in some essential place of the business, because for many years previously a profitable enterprise had been oper- ated on the same premises. One fail- ure may have been due to poor buying, another to inferior cookery, a bad proportioning of financial resources, a All of which suggests that other pe: sonal qualifications are required for successfully operating a business than Many women, especially, are dismayed by the general requirement of employ- | ers that new workers must have “experience.” How is one to get the | experience,” they moan, “without a chance to demonstrate?” But the people Who pay salaries realize that workers without experience are a dead- weight to a business, if not worse. To put them in responsible positions, with good pay, is' to court disaster. That's | why, of course, most of us have to| start at the bottom. and work up, even if our start is late in life. The finan- | cial safety of a going concern requires experienced workers in all of its posi- tions of responsibility. How much more then is it necessary that a person should require experience before attempting to launch and man- age an entirely new business?

Parents who have tried it do not find this a wasteful practice, but a real saving of money for the family. Of course, there will be some mistakes—even grown-ups make them.

Whatever way you do this does not matter. It is merely a means to an end. railroad builders, great mechanics, great financiers all do this, each in his own Millions of people who will iive to hearty old Rockefeller had not made enough money to endow great institutions where scientists can search for the causes of disease and find cures for them.

In my opinion the man and woman who refuse to work and support them- selves and those who are so extravagant that they lay up no money for their old age are just as much thieves as any highwaymen who hold their victims up at the pistol-point and rob them of their hard-earned money. Of cpurse, it is better to follow the desires of your own heart, provided they lead in the right direction.

DOROTHY DIX. s of Furniture in Vogue BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. STIRRE=—, | NN ‘The terms applied to furniture are The intricately carved furniture is no getting as multitudinous as the names now given to rugs from the Orient. No one who is not constantly in touch with furniture styles can expect to be acquainted with the names of a single kind, as_chairs, for instance, or tables. New nafnes spring up over night and they have no particular significance, for they merely apply to some special manufacturer’s output or to some slight deviation from a previous output. Apart, from tkese commercial names, there are historic terms which are in- teresting and helpful to know. Each has its history, and has evolved from an older type, or been the result of the influence of contact with the crafts or arts of another country. example when England began to get really acquainted with China, the Chinese influence was shown in furni- ture and furnishings. This was long years ago, but every one who knows about furniture is familiar with this period style especially with Chinese Chippendale. In recent years Italy has been In the forefront of world affairs. It was a natural result that Italian styles in fur- niture should gain popularity in America. Just now there is a Spanish trend, due to the fact that that coun- try is coming to the fore. ‘There are two distinct kinds of fur- niture - from these countries, the kind used by the nobility and aristocracy oand the peasant type. It is the latter that is in the predominance with us. For | ! | more sought than is the plain and al- most severe sort used by the peasants, who to us, are so picturesque. The interest that this country is taking in Americana, naturally in- cludes the early settler type of Ameri- can furniture. This, in its simplicity, is comparable to peasant furniture in other lands. We have no picturesque peasantry but we have settler, Colonial styles and the cabin type of pioneer ys. This American furniture, whether of the genuine early settler days or the later pioneer period. is of one stamp, that of sturdy simplicity. All of these varieties are in evidence today.

Their | idea of a good time was a movie or a | theater party or dance. Nowadays the | home is.coming back as a place in which to have the crowd for an eve- ning’s fun. Mrs. Lacey was delighted that her girls were living at this time, | for she had been noted as a gracious hostess who knew how to make guests enjoy themselves. Now she had plenty of opportunity to put her skill to the test. For St. Patrick's Day she and Claire planned an evening of sport. They did not have much money to spend, but that did not deter the guests from having much fun. First came the old-time Irish potato race. Large potatoes - were scrubbed and dried. The guests were each given a teaspoon. Then they were led to a starting line at one end of a long hall. Each person had to scoop up the po- tato on the spoon and then had to carry it to the finish tape at the other end of the room. The one who reached the line first with the potato still bal- anced on the spoon won the race. Only | one hand could be used. The other dared not steady the potato. ‘Then the guests received telegraph blanks on which were written the words—Saint Patrick. Using each one of these letters in turn as the start of 2 word, a telegram had to be written. It was_ stipulated that it must make };ense. Here s one sample—"Send Any { Information Necessary to Prevent Ar. | thur Trying Robbery in City Kala- mazoo.” ~ | "“Then the men i the group had to | kiss the Blarney stone.

It was just so in choosing the tree in which to build the new nest.

And Fred Murnau decided he didn't know anything about talk, so he closed the gray castie he had built up by Lake Hollywood and hied himself away on his yacht for the South Seas. There, after two years of study and cruising, he made “Tabu,” the picture which he recently brought to Hollywood. But he didn’t intend to remein in the movie colony. He had planned to re- turn to Germany to visit his mother and then go back to where he had found real civilization—the South Sea Islands.

At the last census the number of mystery story writers had nearly over- taken the number of fans in the coun- try, so this subject, the effect of a little air in the arteries, should interest, I estimate, 84 per cent of our total popu- lation. There is a good old tradition which makes it sure and swift death, and withal baffiing to the ordinary or movie type of doctor, coroner or district at- torney, to inject a few little bubbles of air into your victim's vein. Think of it! A nice, neat, workmanlike job and a mere hypodermic needle prick to tell the tale even to the keen eyes of the fictional dick. But this. method is not so good in real life. I know because I have tried it. A couple of Frenchmen tried it on a large scale a year or two ago they injected a pint or two of fresh air into the vein of a bull and it never feazed him. I forget how much air they had to give the bull before it upset him noticeably, but it secmed enough to crowd out a large proportion of the blood from the vital organs. I have often included a little air gratis with a solution injected irfto a vein, and it worried me no more than it did the patient. But air in the acces- sible arteries or veins is one thing and air in the coronary or carotid arteries is a different matter, according to Dr. George Rukstinat, a pathologist, of Rush Medical College. He found that an injection of air into the coronary artery of a dog, under ether anesthesia, The j;mxle is astir, now that slesta From all directions beasts approach; some slowly, others fast.

They are the arteries that supply the heart wall itself. The carotid arteries, of course, supply the brain. Dr. Rukstinat noted that none of the dogs showed signs of delayed air em- bolism such as that not rarely seen in women from the intrauterine injection of liquids with which some air is ac- cidentally mixed. Such persons may live for hours after the injection of the air, and then die in convulsions and cyanosis (blue or livid appearance). A patient’s antrum (maxillary sinus) was, being irrigated. At the comple- tion of thg irrigation the patient faint- ed, became livid and died abruptly. At autopsy large bubbles of air were found in the right ventricle, and there were other bubbles in the arteries to the brain. Another investigator in Europe, W. Gundermann, found that. air injected into the pulmonary veins of a dog quickly produced death from coronary embolism. The pulmonary veins con- vey the air-purified blood from the lungs to the heart. It has been suggested by various stu- dents that ths sudden death of & swim- mer following a splasher may be from coronary air embolism, the “air being forced into the pulmonary veins by the sudden violent increase in the pressure of the air in the lungs. A youth committed suicide in Cali- fornia recently by constricting his waist with a wide heavy girdle and then in- flating a football bladder between the girdle and his belly.

Redshoulder and Mrs. Redshoulder didn't hurry their work. There was time enough. They had arrived early and there was plenty of time before it would be necessary to begin housekeeping in earnest. BSo they divideded their time between hunt- ing for food, building the new nest and just sitting nearby, resting and dreaming of the new home they would nave. Redshoulder tried to do his share and spent a great deal of time hunt- ing for sticks of she proper size. iev- eral times he added Xiy sticks to the nest when Mrs. ulder wrsu't there, only to have hae puli ilem out when she did return. Sometimes shs rearranged them, and sometimes she scornfully tossed them away. “That stick might do for the nest of Blackey the Crow, but not for our nest,” she would say. “I do wish you would be more careful in the sticks you bring.” “Yes'm, Redshoulder would say meekly. “You are right, my dear. Of course, you are right. That stick look- 1 ht to me, but you know best. that stick you have just a trifle small “No, it isn't” Mrs. Redshoulder would retort. ““It is time to use smaller sticks.

Sometimes he would hurry away before she returned. How- ever, the result was always the same. The stick was always pulled out and put somewhere else or thrown aside. Mrs. Redshoulder knew every stick that went into that nest and there was no fooling her. So day by day the nest grew and day by day the Redshoulders grew happier.
