WOMAN'S PAGE. Becoming Lingerie Touches BY MARY MARSHALL. To be sure, the new dresses with | their becoming and youthful touches of] lace and ling:rie are harder to keep in | order than the collarless, cuffiess, fril- | less, starkled simple dresses that were worn for the decade following the war. | But even though you make up your mind that you will not be bothered with | lingerie accessories that need to he‘ taken out and refreshed every few days, NN ON AL Jou will probably end by bnyl:g many of that sort as you can afford, for every day as well as for special oc- casions. And if you have bought one of the severer sorts of dresses without the becoming lingerie touch you will find yourself wishing that something :lould be done to make it more attrac- ve. * Today's sketch shows a dainty jabot neck trimming that you can quite’ eas- ily make from lace, silk, georgette, fine linen or batiste, with narrow lace edg- ing if you like. It is made from one strip of material 6 inches long and 3 inches wid: at the widest part. It is pointed at one end as you see in the diagram, and tapers to a narrow finish at the other end, where it is attached to the neckline. Then there are two other pieces of the same material each 4 inches long and 3 inches wide, which are gathered up and slipped und:r the long tab to make little butterfly frills at _either side. Unless you can afford a great many dresses and can send them to the cleaner quite frequently, it is best to examine any you buy ready-made quite carefully before buying them to see Wl the light lingerie or silk cuff and collar and yoke or vestees can be removed for frequent cleaning or ‘whether they are securely sewed to the dress.

Call of Blue-Jay. ‘Those of us who were not Washing- ton-born (and few Washingtonians are really native sons or daughters) are not surprised to hear the returning blue-jay’s call. Perhaps a few of us have a certain slight homesick longing for some other place, some childhood long ago, whenever he calls. But if you spent your youth in a place where blue-jays are as common as Sparrows and thrice as noisy and thieving, you ars apt to forget that the man or woran, boy or girl, who has always lived in the District does not take the blue-jay for granted. For them he is an exciting bird of passage, who neither winters nor sum- mers here as a_rule, but for a short time in Spring flie€ with almost tropic splendor, a flash of brilliant blue, trail- ing on the air behind the species that ornithologists call Cyanocitta cristata. Anger and reproach are the com- monest emctions that we assoclate with him, but when Master Jay is in love h2 can warble very soft and low, and when he is simply content and feeling | jolly he has a magical cry that sounds a little like “Brink-abrillll!” This is one of the most delightful sounds in all our American wocdland setting, and | is, indced, so sweet £nd merry tha’ manv peopls never suspect that the jay that flies into a rage at your faint- est avpreach 1 the singer.

School Feuds. | It is easier to start a school feud than | it is to settle it once it is on full speed. | Bomebody makes & no'se in the class | roem. The inexperienced teacher de- | mands to know who it was that made | that noise. There is no answer to her repeated demands. ‘when she begins asking each in tu “Who did 1t?” Nobody did it when she asks each in turn, “Did you do it?" ‘Then the teacher makss the fatal mistake. “Every one of you is to blame. You know who made that noise and you won't tell. You are all dishonest and every one of you will get a zero in conduct for today.” good child who has never had a bad mark since the first school day bows her head and weeps aloud. Then she walls. She sobs and cries hyster- ically. Her friends and companions join in. Sniffs and sighs fill the air. The boys shuffle their feet and grumble. No more work is done that mornirg. The children go home at recess full of the tale of injustice. The story takes on color and scope. Soon it becomes a battle of I did and I didn't. Sides are taken for the teacher and against. Complaints and hearings and corner meetings and a general upsetness throughout the neighborhood puts the term’s work at a standstill. ~Ail for what? A teacher made a mistake in school management. When a noise is made in a classroom, even & disturbing noise, the teacher makes no remark about it, di- rects the children’s attention toward | their work in silence if possible, starting a new lesson if that seems better. The | noise will take care of itself if ths work of the class room is what it ought to be The occasional misfit pupil can be handled without disturting the life of | the village, without stooping the prog- | ress of the whole cl: | | The parents can do their share. When | & school error shows itself instead of | listening earnestly and questioning eag- erly, hear the story through and then without saying that the teacher s al- ways right, without taking sides in any direct the chiidren’s thoughts to importance of their work. If the story needs investigating do so privately. Think what it costs to take a whole school session for discovering who coughed loudly. Think how much it costs in time and money and energy to hold school meetings, make speeches, stir up neighborhood feeling because somebody worked an injustice to a child. Nobody should work an injustice on a child. But they do every once in a while. Shall we stop work and flap our arms about our heads? Or shall we | cool off a little, meet the school people on a plane of intelligence where co- operation, clear reasoning, foresight and wisdom are possible? | ‘Teachers do not start out to work in- | justice on any pupil.

Dyeing. “Recently I dyed a light blue dress black, but was disappointed to have it come out & brownish black with a/ bronze tint. It seems odd that this| should have happened. as the dress was | & very light blue to begin with. Would | you suggest redyeing the dress with| some other sort of black dye?” This is a question from “A READER.” You probably overdyed the material, as overdyeing with black causes the material to take on a bronze-black tone. When using dyes it is important never | to use too much. Always follow direc- | tions given for the type of dye used.| The best way to remove the excess dye is by washing the dress in hot water to | which a little ammonia has been added. ‘You could not hope to remedy the dif- ficulty by redyelng unless you first took | out the excess dye by boiling the ma- terial in soapy water and rinsing thol’-‘ oughly before redyeing. “Please tell me how to make chop| suey from chicken and canned mush- rooms.

LITTLE BENNY BY UE PAPE. 1, ‘We was eating brekfist this morning ¢ and the letter carrier brawt the mail, being 3 letters for pop, and he looked at one of them as if he was wondering what was in it, ma drinking her cawf- | fee and trying to look as if she wasent noticing, and pop cpened the letter and red it, belng the chain letter ma sent him yestidday on account of hav- ing to send 9 to different peeple, pop saying, Well for Peet sake, is this your ideer of a joke? Its nuthing to get ixcited about, ma sed. If you dont wunt to keep the chain going, all you haff to do is tear it up. You sed yestidday you'd tear it up with plezzure if you got one, dident you? she sed. Yes I did and I repeet it and under- line it, pop sed. No bonehedded chain letter is going to make India rubber out of my backbone. Leave supersti- tion to the superstitious, thats my motto. Whats the good of mankind pulling itself out of the mud of the Dark Ages if we're still going to tremble and tern pale at the bare notion of dis- obeying a stupid chain letter? he sed. ‘Well then tear # up and show your powerful backbone, ma sed. Of corse it expressly says in it that if you dont sopy it off 9 times and send it to 9 other peeple youll have some mysteri- ous bad luck within 9 days, but of corse it cant bring bad lck to any- body but yourself, so why don't you tear it up rite ncw this moment in so much action insted of in so many werds? she sed. I will with plezzure, pop sed. And he stuck the letter in his coat pockit, ma saying, Is that tearing it up?

When a man hates his work, when he is disappointed and can't do anything to change his destiny, he’s apt to con- sole himself in one of two ways. He may join some organization that takes him out of himself and makes him he may use another way of making up for his disappoint- ment — he thinks up big thoughts about what he's doing. He talks Helen Woodward, 8bout his work as & great national movement, as something big and patri- otic. He talks about building up the Nation, when what he’s doing is selling the best bill of goods he knows how. ‘Women don’t do that sort of thi much. Women are much more real than men. You don't find woman phi- losophers because philosophers are peo- ple who deal only with words. No, women are too sensible to be philoso- phers. Instead they take hold of the problem before them and do what they | can with it. They let the men do the | talking about it. have their way of getting away from troubles, too. Where men take refuge |in big words and in playing a part, | women take refuge in illness. When a woman finds that she can't get what she wants, when her work is disappoint- ing. she gets sick. She doesn't set up a lot of maxims, she doesn’t pretend she is working in & great cause, she doesn't put on & uni- form. Instead she gets a splitting head- che or a nervous attack. She loses her temper and has to go to bed with an upset stomach. On the whole, I think the man's way is easler.
