WOoM AN’'S PAGE. THE EVENING FEATURES. New Ribbon or Silk Trimming BY MARY Heére is the new ribbon or silk trim- ming as shown on one of the smartest of the new Autumn dresses, 2nd it is so easy to make: that we aré passing the idea on to ycu today, It can be used on | any dress with a diagon2l closing and provides the feminine touch that is so essential this season. As you see, the trimming consists of S five pieces of ribbon of graduated lengths, with cne end cut diagonally to make a point. The longest or top strip measures about nine inches and ~the shortest or lowest strip not dmore than 3. The precise length wdepends on the depth of the opening of the blouse. « On a black dress w» suggest gros- grain ribbon of white cr eggshell tone, with beige ribbon for a brown dress. And then to carry out the color scheme you should wear a narrow belt made of MARSHALL. | narrcwer grosgrzin ribbon of the same | tone. 'The pointed +nds of the ribbon may be left unfinished or finished with a narrow single hem. After théy have been pirned into position they should be tacked in place to the blouse end el t'g:ther with smzll invisible stitche: | Instead of ribbon you may use silk-- | prefcrably a fairly substantial rihoed | sidk, cut into desired shape end finisi | with & n2rrow hem at the edges. And remember, whether you are mak- ing a drcss at home or choosing one ready made, thot it must be carefully fitted if you want it to 1-ok right for | the coming se:son. Over the hips and waistline it must fit snugly without be- | ing cbviously tight, and while there is usually a slight blouse and some fullness through the armbole anything like bag- giness is quits out of the present pic- ture.

Why They Get Bored. “Dear Miss Woodward: I have just finished reading your column in today's paper. Your subject about why young le get bored is on> which I think 5 could answer. Things Helen Woodward of the exeitement has worn off, “I can remember that when I first stas going out—that was at the age of 16 or littie better—I used to be very much excited over going to dances. nice parties, beach parties, etc., but after I had done those things several times all the thrill was worn off, and it turned out to be just ‘another something to do The mt exciting time, it seems, when you are in love with some one. Then almost everything is exciting. Nothing boresome about things then But if you are going around with some one who is just a friend—well, it's the same old thing, ‘just another date’ to do the things which you have done a million and forty-eleven times before. Perhaps if 1 was ever disappointed in Jove I wouldn't feel this way, but as it is I think that that time is & most BY HERBER' ‘WWHEN the President of the United States affixes his signature to a state paper it's a comparatively simple proposition. He merely writes his name, “Herbert Hoover,” and lets it go at that. There is no imposing array of kingly and im- perial titles denoting his place in the commonwealth such as are appended to the name of King George of England when he signs a Z treaty or some other state paper Yet, if President Hoover so desired, he might get to- gether a substan- tial line of alpha- betical handles to signify the various Government _ posi- tions he holds in addition to his principal post % By constitutional % fat, statutory law, courtesy and cus- tom, he has amassod & few.

So 1 guess until some one finds something that is really exciting and something that will keep people excited—it will be just the same old boredom place. “JUNE." Well, June has answered me much better ‘than she realizes. The young people are bored bacause they are start- ing everything too young. If you begin to have your petting and your affairs and your big times when you are 16, there’s nothing to get excited about by the time you are 20 Things should be a little hard to get before they are exciting. If, when you are 16, you fall in love, which is normal | enough, and you think it's something to { hide away in your beart, then later on { you are going to be terribly excited But if, at 16, your love leads to easy petting parties, all the glamour disappears. You may be so un- lucky that you will never fall really in love later on, which would be a dreadful misfortune I'd like to believe in frankness and honesty in everything, including love, and yet 1 know tha: love cannot be really exciting unless there's something | dangerous about it—something hard to get.

Strain and cool this sirup. If the ches are canned, drain the sirup m them, cook it down, and color it pipk.
