NANCY PAGE Peter Proves Himself a Bright Shopper. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, Because Nancy was not going down- town for shopping Peter found himself the purchasing agent for the Page fam- ily. He began to realize how much a woman had to know in order to do her Job well. It was at the breakfast table that he received & new commission. “I am in- vited to that shower for Patricia, Peter, and I don’t know what to get her. Do you suppose you could shop around this i | ncon and find something different?” “Sure thing, Nance. want to give her?” | “I can’t decide, that's the trouble. If I knew, I would call the telephone shoppar.” “Well, leave it to me. I'll find some- thing.” Peter spoke glibly. Little did 1k:’renllze what he had let himself or. “Something different” — that made What do you | him discard refreshment napkins, bev- erage sets, beverage shakers, electric clocks, traveling clocks, pencil sets. These were all acceptable, but he had heard Nancy list these very items as My Neighbor Says: A drop or two of ammonia and a clean cloth will make your spectacles shine. Put as much alum in a bottle of water as will dissolve and keep | | it where it will be handy in case of burns, etc. If applied at once, this solution will prevent blister- ing and also relieve pain quickly. To polish a black marble clock, rub it with olive oil and finish | with clean chamois. | ‘When serving afternoon tea, if | | you pour & few drops of hot water ! | into the saucers, enough to just moisten them, you will find the cups will not slip about on the seucers when you are passing them to your guests. (Copyright, 1921.) i TH!:RE are no radical changes in silhcuette to be noted in the new evening dresses, The waist line is nor- mal, with an cccasional tendency to go a little above normal. Hips are flat and smooth with the accustomed flare that starts somewhere between the lower line of the hips and the knees. One may wear ruffies, which sometimes appear over the kneces and sometimes at the lower part of the skirt. There is always fullness at the hem of the skirt, but the exaggerated flare is seldom seen. There are very long skirts for eve- ning, but these ars usually of sheer materials worn over a slip or founda- tion that ends at the ankles, and the dress that frankly ends at the ankles is by no means rare, even for formal evening. The slip or petticoat is usually of the dress and by no means the Ihx:ekl itt in L dane; may pe; ip-arount effect 50 as $0: i width without excessive fullness. Lace dresses are worn over satin slips or fcunda- tions, sometimes edged with lace. Point d'esprit appears over a founda- tion that combines taffeta and tulle. Chiffon appears over a crepe de chine petticoat with taffeta ruffies. Organdie is worn over ruffied taffeta. Often the slip or petticoat ends a few inches gifts that Patricla had received at the last shower. But he ended by getting two gifts and he called both of them “bright right, too. One of them portable lamp with bat- tery inside the narrow candlestick part of the lamp. This small lamp lighted as soon as it was lifted. Its narrow frosted bulb illuminated the fine print (e ATERTI of a teleph®ne directory, or the face of a clock in the dark middle of a night. And the cther gift was a magnifying glass with a handle in which was en- cased a small battery. When the catch was pushed, a small bulb showed a light which illuminated the surface directly under the magnifying glass. Nancy was pleased as Punch with the gifts. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Faultfinders. | Faultfinders are not always danger- | ous persons. You may well afford to| associate with them and listen to their | faultfinding. At least for a while. Much | of the o faultfinding that goes | on in this world should be regarded as | indications that the faultfinder is sfill‘ alive. He is as often as not merely expressing a few ideals which he has not yet attained. Most faultfindings should be regarded as theories—uncon- scious mental movements toward per- fection. Of course, there is something to be | said on the other side of the question. | Chronic faultfinders are really sick per- sons. They have fallen ill with their | own sense of incompetence, their own | morbid fears. After a while chronic faultfinders begin to deteriorate men-| tally. They invite criticisms. They| try to keep them in mind. They even | 80 o far as to take notes on them. i The next step in the deteriorating | process might be called philosophical | pessimism. The now very sick idealist | turns from men and things to condi- tions in general. In unguarded mo- ments he expresses delusions of perse- | cution. i (Copyright, 1931.) ‘The Royal Scot, running between London and Edinburgh, is known as the world's fastest railway train. Petticoats and Slips : abve the edge of the skirt, but occa ally the arrangement is reversed | and the lace edge of the petticoat may peep beneath the hem of the skirt. | Despite the fact that French dress- | makers of importance are still making | evening gowns of the extremely low | back sort, the so-called modest decol- | letage is the one that will be most | approved for S er evening wear. | Ccvered shoulders are in order. The"l may be short puffed sleeves—almost | always a flattering detail. There may | be a scarf arrangement to drape the | shoulders or a little jacket. The square | decolletage is frequently seen, the bodice being cut at right angles to the shoulder straps. Occasionally the square line appears at the back as well | as the front. V necklines are perhaps | most usual and there is an increasing use of the V effect at the back as well | as the frcnt. Sometimes thé V is| slightly mcdified to make attrac- tive U neckline. Here and there a dress of princess type breaks the rule that belts and girdles are always essential. We may | see more of the princess type as time | goes on, but for the present girdles of | some sort are all but essential. -Yo may tie a sash at the right side in knot with ends or in a bow with two loops and ends of uneven length. | D.
