A—12 Have Scarf for BY MARY A scarf for every costume. That should be your rule in planning your Summer’ wardrobe. And if you have only a small wardrobs, you will need more scarfs. A simple white dress, for instance, will take the place of two if Fou have two different colored scarfs #0 go with it—a white-and-red scarf when bright colors are appropriate and a black-and-white scarf for other occa- sions. Your scarfs need not be at all expen- sive or difficult to make. They are made of cotton as well as of silk. White or colored pique scarfs are especially smart and may be washed and ironed easily. Gingham scarfs are also smart and are worn with lightwelght jersey or cloth suits as well as with cotton sports dresses. The easiest sort of scarf to make is in tube formation. Cut a strip of ma- terial about 18 inches wide and 44 inches long. Fold lengthwise and run a seam to form a long tube. Turn right side out and press. A silk scarf may be fringed at the ends or the ends may be cut at an angle, turned under MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Coiffures and Colors.

For the warmer days she compromises by letting a little color scheme into the | dress to simulate a redingote. It's just the sort of dress smart women feel 50 happy in for town, travel or_spectator sports. Today’s model is especially designed ¢o give the heavier figure slimness and grace. The softly falling one-sided Jabot rever combines with the plaited skirt inset to give a lengthened effect. The curved seaming 'and drape of the skirt yoke help immensely toward dis- guising hip bulk. It can be carried out nicely in plain and printed crepe silk as sketched in navy blue with white crepe printed in blue polka-dots. Style No. 3155 is designed for sizes 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 and 50 inches bust. Gray shantung with a printed shan. tung in navy and gray is smart. ’ Black and White voile print with plain black is interesting. Size 36 requires 37 yards 35-inch with 1 yard 35-inch contrasting.

It is no longer very new, so I dod not like to pay for cleaning and thought I could wash it instead. Other women I know have good luck washing dresses of this scrt. It is simply made and has no pleats, so it would not be difficult to iron. Will you please tell me the best way to go about it to prevent the color ffi]‘g running and to get the best re- sults.” ‘The worst thing to fear is that the dress will shrink. There is little danger that the color will run cr fade in the washing, as practically all silk crepes are washable. Remove buttons, buckles and other such ummm the dress. If there are white ings, such as collars and cuffs, these ehould be removed and washed separatefy. Use warm, not hct water, and mix some mild soap with the water, but do not rub the soap directly on the dress, If the water is very hard you may 'use just a little borax in the rinsing water. The dress shculd be rinsed two or three times in tepid water and then run through a wringer or squeezed out in the hands. The dress should be hung in an airy place out of the sunshine and away from the fire. The safest thing to do is to let the dress beccme completely dry before pressing. Then work carefully on the wrong side with an iron that is not very hot. Some pecple press silk dresses when they are partly dry. This is sometimes a satisfactory method, but some silks show water marks when this is done. Remember always to press on the wreng side and to use an iron that is not hot enough to scorch the silk.

Pity the Muscles. Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me how I can get rid of muscles in the leg. Thank you. R Answer.—My dear, how queer you would look without muscles in your legs. Perhaps you mean that your muscles there have formed a hard, bunch-like appearance rather than the smooth, graceful shape which you wish. It is impossible for me to outline de- tailed exercises for you here, but I have a leaflet which you will find helpful. This leaflet, giving leg exercises, is free and I shall be glad to send a copy of it to you or any other reader who may wish it if you will send request in- | closing stamped, self-addressed envelope to cover mailing costs. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, 1931.) Standards S TT'S not clothes that make you a smart woman these days—it's the way you wear them! Suave costumes, lithe lines, sleek coiffures call for self- confident posture, crisp gestures, clean- cut grace. You must know how to lounge in hoyden abandon in sailor pajama beach suit in the day time and then swing into a natural, easy but graceful mien for eventide. Be a gay tomboy if you will when out surf-board riding, or galloping down the bridle path. But if you are lunch- ing at the hotel still be gay but not a tomboy. How you stand, how you hold your elbows, shoulders, hands and head deter- mine your chic this year. You can wear 50 many different kinds of things. But you must develop your very. own characteristic positions, whether stand- ing, sitting cr walking, to be yourself. Straighten yourself up, if you still have a slouch walk. Brace your shoulders if you sag. You must have the crispness of a Spring breeze about your gesture or you will look like lasi year's picture in the latest of this Spring's frocks.

To really make it part of yourself, you might try practicing different postures before the mirror. ‘Take the pose you would have standing in your jaunty riding breeches and boots.

Don’t you look better, h still modern? There are certain arm motions good for tailcred suit and coat usage that are not so good for dressy dinner attire. In the same way, you should hold your arms and hands quite differently when you are dressed for lunch and sitting opposite a friend from the way you carry them when idly smoking and reading.

HE carwig has been given a bad name and she cannot live it down. - Once, long ago, a_weary traveler lay down on a bed of straw to take a little nap. A busy earwig seeking shelter crawled into his ear. And that is how she got her bad reputation. ‘There are about 740 species known to- day. Scme of them have wings, others not. When folded they remind one of | an outgrown jacket. They are very wide, veined and gauzy. Mother and father earwig have a flat head and com- pound eyes. Their jaws are very strong and used to cut the stems of plants and flowers. Their antennae are long and slender. ‘Their legs are on the fore-part of the body and at the extreme tip of the abdomen a very strong pair of formidable pincers is located. Waving high in the air and open they look most menacing, at least to their enemies, The mother lays her eggs in the Spring of late Fall in a shallow dug- out. She takes most tender care ofl them, and when they hatch out she | broods over them and gives them food. ‘The baby earwigs look just like their parents and there are about 70 babies in each family. Mother earwig raises two families during the Summer. Dur- ing the day they stay at home and sleep, but at night, when all is still except the insect chorus, they stroll abroad and dine where the most tempting food is offered. They are brown or black and from one-eighth to one and a half inches long. They crawl under a stone or into sand and leave their pincers exposed. This little trick may be to warn enemies or catch them. It is Plants, flowers and leaves are enjoyed by the whole family. They also eat, with seeming relish, dead insects, snails and small caterpillars. (Copyright, 1931.) Fringed Celery. Cut some celery in two or two and one-half inch lengths.

An artificial pose isn't any more suc- cessful today than it was in the Vic- torlan era, when every girl was sup- posed to gather up her petticoats and hop on a chair when a mouse scam- pered by, even if she felt no fear of the scampering animal. First, foremost, and last, be natural. 1If you wear the type of costume that is appropriate for the occasion your ac- tions will naturally take their cue from it. When you arc wearing a clinging chiffon with a wisp of lace showing here and there, you can no more help putting on an intriguing mood than the moon can keep from spilling its broken silver on the trees. If your golf togs are crisp and color- ful and made for sports instead of just pretending that they are, you will go around the course with a healthy inter- est in every drive, which is exactly the way that you should.

Psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is the sclence and art of mental healing. Every sclience and every art is based on some theory. ‘What, then, is the underlying theory in psychotherapy? Every modern psychotherapist goes about his business on the assumption that the patient is suffering from some maladjustment to his everyday prob- lems and that these problems disturb the normal expenditure of mental en- ergy. In other words, conflict and con- tradiction rule the world of human adjustments. ‘There are two recognized principles. One is called expressive, the other sup- pressive psycholherapy. The psycho- therapist must first determine, if pos- sible, just which of the two principles is likely to be more effective in a given case. The expressive type of psychotherapy undertakes to do what Macbeth wanted the doctor to do in the case of Lady Macbeth—"Pluck out from memory a rooted sorrow; raze out the written troubles of the brain.” It's a sort of mental surgery. Freud's method, called psychoanalysis, is perhaps the best ex- ample. What is called ‘“occupational therapy” is another example. Work works wonders with mental disease. ‘The _suppressive ty, of therapy are really nothing more than different forms of suggestion. may in some cases do some good. But in recent years it has lost caste as a mental remedy. Other sup- pressive methods are known as assur- ance, reassurance, exhortation, persua- sion, distraction, Nowadays it is generally conceded that expressive psychotherapy is best. (Copyright, 1931.) NANCY PAGE Lawn Fetes Never Lose Their Appeal. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE, A lawn fete was announced at church on Sunday. The younger people were busy dating one another just so soon as services were over. The older mem- bers began to apportion the food. At this lawn fete they planned to have lemonade, cake, strawberry ice cream. The men were elected to string the electric cords from which the electric bulbs and the covering Japanese lan- terns would gayly swing in the evening breeze. ‘The janitor sald he thought he could erect the temporary tables out on the lawn and his wife agreed to decorate them with the crepe paper. So every- thing was set and decided upon but the weather. Here they could do noth- ing but hope and bother the weather man with their many queries. He promised to do his best. He did, too, even sending a big moon that gave a light that outshone any man-made lan- terns. In making the lemonade the women followed the sensible plan of boiling the water and sugar first. They used six cups water and four cups sugar and boiled the sirup for 10 minutes. Then they cooled it. Next they shed the lemons, three dozen of them, and rolled them on the table under the palms of their hands. ‘This made it easy to get the juice from the lemons, since the rolling broke many of the capsules holding the juice. They sliced lemons and mashed them with wooden potato masher until most of the juice was out. All told, they needed five cups of juice. They added juice and lemon slices to sirup, added six quarts of watef. At serving time they put in large pieces of ice. This amount served 50. MENU FOR A DAY, BREAKFAST. Grapefruit.

She got to know a great many mo- tion-picture people at once—directors and actors and writers. Every one liked her. But she was obviously poor, and people are more shunned in Hol- iywod than in any place I've ever seen in my life. Everybody has had his such little while; everybody is afraid it will not last. They're afraid if they associate with people who are not noisily successful it will reflect on them. So Marle Louise was a little lonely. But she had encouragement from the directors.

They had anxiously watched him going from one patch cf chaparral to another and peering into and through each and looking into every lone cholla and clump of cactus. They had kept themselves well hidden, but never once had they allowed him to get out of their sight. Twice he had passed the place where their nest was hidden in the middle of a cholla without seeing it. He had at last started for his horse to ride back to the ranch and they had begun to breathe easier. Then he had turned back for one more look and this time he had found the nest. Do you wonder they were upset? You see, they didn’t reaily know Farmer Brown's Boy. He had stopped only long enough to peep into the nest for a glmpse of the four little Road Runners and then had hurried away. Mrs. Cocky sighed with pure relief. “Thank good- ness, he has gone. I hope he never comas back,” szid she. “I hope the same thing.” replied | Cocky. “He made me nervous.” | _ “It was all your fault,” snapped Mrs. Cocky crossly. “My fault!” exclaimed Cocky. “What are you talking about?

Very early on the | following morning Farmer Brown's Boy | was back and for a while he was very | busy close to that cholls where the nest was, and Cocky and Mrs. Cocky spent a half hour of such worry as | they had selcom known.

But, just as the insulin treatment of diabetes has a cumulative effect which is indirectly the real object of treatment and may | be regarded as a gain in general meta- bolism, so in this parathyroid extract treatment of long standing cases of arthritis benefit indirectly, and for the same reason—it helps to improve the patient's general metabolism. Thus, like insulin treatment, whether for diabetes or for mere undernutrition, we must regard this parathyroid treat- ment of advanced, disabling arthritis as _therapeutic encouragement. If a little is good, more is better—but it re- quires the skill and knowledge of the physician to know how little or how much insulin to administer to one with undernutrition or hyperglycemia or how Jittle or how much parathyroid extract to administer to one with chronic pro- gressive arthritis.
