10 WOMAN’S PAGE. THE EVENING New Wrap With Twis‘ted Collar BY MARY MARSHALL. “Shall T attempt to make an evening | thin dresses when I go out in the eve- wrap?” asks 18-year-old Peggy, who ex- |MDE" iy it ANavaREN et plains that she has nevar had any les- | oo wrap and there ‘s no reason why sons in dressmaking and has never at- ; al- | she should not make it herself, because tempted anything more difficult than i requires no more dressmaking skill than a blouse or a cotton sports dress ' it she chooses a simple pattern. Materials used for evening wraps this | Summer are taffcta, velvet, satin and velveteen—with the accent on satin. There are no more wraos of satin than of the other materials but it is the new- est material for this purpose and is not | too diffcult to work with. For tne | wrap that must be worn with various | different dresses I would suggest either | black or a deep rose ton2. Black will ! go with anything and iose which is used extensively in Paris for/ evening wraps this Summer goes well with white, black or any light pastel or print- ed evening dresses. The sketch shows & new wrap with | cult to make, and which provides a becoming line about the neck. To| | make it, simply cut the satin in two | strips and then twist them together | loosely and attach to the evening wrap as shown in the sketch. (Copyright, 1931.) Asparagus Omelet. | To three beaten egg yolks add three | teblespoonfuls of water and a little salt |and pepper. Fold in the stiffly beaten | egg whites.

Children are always thirsty. Any| child can take a drink any hour of the day or the night. In warm weather | they are more than commonly thirsty. | They ought to have plenty of pure cold | water to drink, bat that is not 4s easy as it ought to be when cne lives in a community of any size. The water comes out of the faucet and it is not cool Nor does it sparkle. Children love the sparkling water. They love to drink out of a bottle. One of the things they must be taught is that they must not drink out of a bottle unless it has the right sort of label on it. They must not drink out of the vessels that are set on street stands. When_ they go out on trips they are never to drink any water cut of springs by the way. Polluted water is ©s clear and tastes as good as pure ‘.ater as often as not. There is no way by | which children or teacher can tell that | water is pure or otherwise. The safe | way is the best. Carry y-ur own| drinking water along with you if you | are to be out for any length of time | and forbid any child to drink elong the | wav save from his own canteen. This 15 the time for fruit juice drinks. | Fruit is plentiful. In no country in | the world is there such an abundance | of fruit nor such a high quality of it. | Buy fruit for the children. Take the | juice out of it, chill it, and make them the magic drinks they delight in. Lem- ionade never loses its charm. Orange | juice is always a treat. But mixtures | are what the children enjov. They | | soon get tired of the straight juices, but | |if you vary the service by adding a | dash of pineapple, a couple of cherries, | a drop of current felly they take fresh | interest and come back for more. Fruit served this way is just what children ineed in hot weather. | Milk must be well chilled if the chil- dren are to enjoy it. This does not mean that it is to be ice cold. Too much ice is not good. Just right is !better. Chill the milk for breakfast. | For lunch add a drop of flavoring and | it will go down easier. If you serve icocoa chill it. No warm drink finds | :nvor in a child’s mouth on a Summer | ay. The best drink of all, the one they will come back to after trying out the list, 15 cold spring water. If you can supply this your worries are at an end. | But_suppose vou have no spring in vour | yard? You have good weter? Wash a couple of bottles and fill them with good water. Put them on the ice and when chilled let the children drink {from them. Tt you hate n supply of |good cold water there will be fewer i demands for pop and ice cream sodas Ice cream sodas are mnot everyday |fare. They are for treats. It is not wise to let a child get the soda habit 5o that he begs for a soda every night and middle day and morning. One now and then is all right enough, and a child should be indulged to that en- tent. But not as a habit. When you are planning cool drinks for the season please rcmember the dogs and the hores and see that they have frech water as they need it. Keep |the dog’s dish in a cool place and re- | new the water three times a day. after every meal time in the hous>.

The street fountain will be kept | filled for them if you remember to send in your contribution (Copyright, 1931). Salzd Dressing.

For several years past I have been feeling that I was in a_rut and that things were getting duller &nd more drab all the time. I would like to leave my home for a new environment where I would have some change, see new faces and have new experiences, as T meet few new people here. Shall 1 leave comfort, security and deadly monoiony far fresh scenes that may possibly mean discomfort? R. A, ANSWER—X[ depends altogether on how much of an adventurous spirit you have. Change is not for every one, and there are those who are only happy when they have the physical comforts that they are accustomed to and the old friends they know about them, and who like to know that every day is going to be exactly like the day before. If you are tired of this monotony there is no reason Wwhy you shouldn't leave home and get the stimulation that comes from meeting strangers and living in a different environment. It will do you good | mentally and physically. It will broaden you, educate you, make you | more_human | There is nothing truer than the old proverb that “homekeeping youths have ever homely wit.” and no people are so narrow and prej- udiced as those who always have stayed put in the same spot. As teaching is vour profession, why don't you try to get a school next year in some distant place? 1 know one teacher who has taught all over the United States and in Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines, and it has made her one of the most charming and inter- esting companions imaginable.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. FTER 12 years in Congress John Box of Texas, one time Democratic | whip of the House and investigator extraordinary, has gone back to pri-| vate life. . In the' town where at the age| of 27 he was elected county| judge and later mayor, he has settled down in his| old offices to re-| sume the practice of law. | Box's defeat last year removes from Cohgress one o the best “sleuths” that body has had in a long time. For when it came to investigating, Box had ideas of his own about how it shou'd be done. It was his belief that the average committee appointed by Congress to look into & situation didn't get very far. So when he found himself a member | of such a committee he liked to play a lone hand. ‘There was, for example, the time when Congress was trying to get facts | on the Japanese immigration problem. | He prompily forgot his official status | and proceeded as an individual. He nosed about railroad yards talk- ing to workers. He rambled out into the country and chatted with the fariners. And he sought dives in the slums. When he came back to Wash- | ington he had gathered information which- had escaped the others He speaks the language of such peo- ple. In the days before he came to Congress he represented many of the humbler classes in the courts of Texas. One of his last jobs as a member of the House was to do some “sieuth- ing” in the Southwest along the Mexi- can border for the Immigration Com- mittee. A firm advocate of drastic re- striction of immigration on the West- | ern Hemisphere, he was particularly | anxious to see the gates to this coun- try barred so that the influx of seasonal labor might be curbed. He started out in an automobile with a driver. A photographer with a still and motion-picture camera was carried along. L He didn't attempt to disguise his identity. He just didn't boast of the fact that he was from Washington. He traveled between 3,000 and 4,000 miles through five States. He dressed as an ordinary tourist. He stopped at filling stations for chats. He talked to farmers, to factory workers, to edu- cators, to physicians, to people of all kinds. His pictures ran into hundreds. Hir movie film into thousands of feet. He wore out two automobiles and re- urned to Washington with enough data to fill five volumes. DAILY DIET RECIPE BUTTERMILK SALAD DRESSING. Garlic clov2, one.
