Care of Sheets. ‘The time-honored rule among house- wives is to spread sheets on beds with the wide hem at the head and the narrow hem ‘at the foot of the bed. You may have observed, however, that the section just below the pillow at the head of the bed is the place where sheets always wear thin first. Hold an old sheet up to the light and see if this is not the thin place, With sheets used on children's beds, especially, there is very little wear toward the foot. Bearing that fact in mind, you might depart from the time-honored rule, only making sure each day that the same sheet is used that is placed in the same position. Only the most precise housewives nowadays indulge in hand-hemmed sheets, and there is small economy in machine hemming them at home. How- ever, figure out the problem for your- self. Price sheets ready hemmed of a certain size and quality. Then price the same material by the yard and figure exactly what you would save by hem- ming them at home. If you have a great deal of time on your hands, you may find it is worth while; if nos, you will probably buy them ready hemmed. THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Here's one of the smartest dresses of the new season in simple good taste for day wear. And into the bargain it's slimming, too. ‘The wrapped skirt gives charming height to the figure, closing as it does at the left side front, with its snug- fitting hip yoke, button trimming. The cross-over front has a decidedly nar- rowing effect on the bodice. The neck- line is most becoming wit flat applied band trim and softly falling jabot frill Style No. 3018 is designed for sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44 and 46 inches bust. A plaited sheer woolen was used for the original model in dark blue tones. The trim in plain shade matched the lightest tone of the plaided fabric. The bone buttons choose the deepest tone. It's a dress that will give excellent service for all Spring. Jersey, tweed and flat crepe silk also suitable. : Size 36 requires 3% yards of 39-inch material with three-eighths yard of 39- inch contrasting. For a pattern of this style send 15 cents in stamps or coin directly to The Washington Star's New York Fashion Bureau, Fifth avenue and Twenty-ninth street, New York. “How do you get him to chew his food?” “I give him Shredded Wheat and it’s so crisp he has to chew it—the more he chews it the better he likes it and the more nutriment he gets out of it.

Slowly but persistently the dressmak- ers have been working to revive interest in sleeves and, thanks to their efforts, we have now a very wide choice of arm coverings from which to choose. They | are of many lengths and shapes, but | they all have this much in common, none of them are extreme. There are straight long sleeves of the | sort to which we are thoroughly accus- | tomed. Many of the resort and sports | dresses are made with no sleeves at all. | There are full-length sleeves that flare | slightly from below the elbow to the wrist; there are three-quarter flaring sleeves, some of which have a straight deep cuff section showing beneath and some of which have small puffed under- sleeves. There are straight sleeves that end 3 or 4 or 5 inches above the elbow, many of them provided with upturned frills or cuffs. For evening there are dresses without sleeves, dresses with very short sleeves and dresses with sleeves that extend al- most to the elbow, as well as longer angel sleeves and fuller sleeves with cir- cular drapery below the elbow. Still in good repute are the shorter-than-elbow sleeves finished with a band of fur. ‘The sketch shows one of the newest sort of puffed sleeves which would be very easy for the home dressmaker to copy. The puff consists of a perfectly straight strip of material gathered into a straight short sleeve portion at the top and into a narrow band at the lower edge. As shown here, the band that forms the puff is in two portions fagot~ ed together in the middle.

Don't neglect to give your house plants a little fresh air each day. They require air as well as water and sunshine. Pure drinking water is impor- tant to health and one should drink at least 10 glasses of it every day. Use sliced peaches and berries with cereals when peaches and berries are in season. They im- prove the flavor of the cereal. A popular salad is made by put- ting a fairly thin slice of onion between two slices of orange. Serve-on lettuce with mayonnaise or cooked dressing. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. TWO honeymooners—Prince Taka- matsu, second younger brother of Emperor Hirohito of Japan, and Prin- cess Kikuko, his bride of a year—are coming to the Capi- tal in April to spend a week or < more. =) Washington =0 looks forward to ¢ their visit as a real ;. event. For so deep has been the se- clusion in which the Japanese have kept their ruling house, so many the I limitations on their movements, that it was not until 10 = years ago that the /7. first male of that /<™ family traveled (~ outside "the Land of the Gods. With almost & year of their wedding journey behind them, they will land in New York sbout April 10. They come to Washington, where they will be ob- jects of much official entertaining, from the White House on down. Rumor has it that while in America they will stop at those two lodestones of the American honeymooner—Niagara Palls and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The original plans of their journey called for these two stops, and they still may be included. ‘The prince is 26 years old. His prin- cess is only 19. An Associated Press colleague, who has just returned to this country after an and China, says that this | royal couple “very truthfully typifies the present-day life of the people, & life of strong contrasts in which modern ideas and ways find their place, for the most part with friendly adaptiveness, next to traditions and customs of the most hoary antiquity.” “The princess,” he says, “Is considered one of the most beautiful women Japan.

JESSE W. SPROWLS. The Wages of Age. It is one thing to be physically old, quite another to be psychologically old. ‘The first is told by the calendar, the second by experience, ‘Why do men and women as & rule become pessimistic after they have passed the middle years? Why do fits of depression come in the later years? ‘These questions have always puzzled the biographers of great men and women. Each individual is a sort of focus of memories, more or less easily recalled. Each individual is a host that feeds the pm:enb experience on the crumbs of the past, Since times change, there is a conflict between the now and the then. Present experiencgs seem to rebel against the memories of the past. And since the force of memories declines with the passing of time, the present experience tends to take the helm and rule the situation. So time after time the individual must surrender his cherished memories in favor of present expediencies. This weakens his will. He quits each new encounter before it has actually begun. He looks to every future act in terms of a new surrender. Nothing seems right. He becomes a pessimist. Down through the years great men have changed from optimists to pes- simists—Tennyson, Lamb, Ruskin, Car- lisle, Darwin, Tolstoi. All these were men of wide experience. S0 pessimism seems to be somewhere near the end of that road called experience. (Copyright, 1931.) To Stretch Curtains. Drive four stakes into the ground, making the distances between them conform to the original measurements of the curtains. After the curtains are washed run a rod in each end and hook them over the stakes. The curtains will then hang as straight as when new and will not have the little pin holes along the edges, as they do when put on _ordinary stretchers.
