WOMAN'’S PAG Shelves and Compartments BY LYDIA IE BARON WALKER. THESE CONVENIENT MAGAZINE In many homes otherwise well regu- lated there is some one room that just will not stay in order. In it there always seems to be a clutter of nonde- script belongings. Sometimes it is the room where youngsters, coming from school, are apt to throw their things before stowing them away in the hall closet; or it 1';::' be the %I“lce -‘vnhge periodical read, are flung, ; their proper place.

If sewing is used as “pick-up” work in the disordered room and is too much in evidence when not being worked upon, a cabinet for it can be devised 80 that it will be cut of the way by following methods already described.

But, just the same, no one wants to have white hair when as young as you are. We all prefer to save that beauty for the more mature years, Yes, inheritance seems to pass gray hairs on in some families. But I also think that r physical condition may have something to do with it. You say you are nervous, and your weight indi- cates that you are from 12 to 15 pounds underweight. 8o try to build up your general health and conquer that mnerv- ous condition. Get plenty of restful sleep every night, and also see to it that you relax completely several times during the day. There are rinses and dyes which do not harm the hair, but I always hesitate to advise dyeing it. When hair is to be dyed the work should be done by an expert rather than at home. Prefer- ence should be given to the non-poison- ous, penetrating type of dye. If you have read this department regularly, you have seen my advice to others on the same problem. I feel that the safest method is to use a sage and black tea lotion regularly. It is not a dye, but it does gradually darken hair that is just beginning to fade, and it is absolutely harmless. To make it i 1 brew two tablespoonfuls of black tea in one-half pint of boiling water.

Here is the cheaper and simpler fill- ing that she used: She measured one and one-half cup- fuls of canned pumpkin. She could have prepared her own, but she felt it was no economy to do so.

Close-Fisted Parents Who Refuse to Educate Their Handicapped Daughter, EAR DOROTHY DIX—When I was a young girl T had a long illness that prevented my going to school, so I have little education. I still am not able to do heavy work, but I am able to support myself, though I can only get poor jobs because of my lack of education. I am very anxious to take a_commercial course so that I can get better-paid work, but my family will not even lend me the money to do it on, although they are well off. Still they reproach me for being an expense to them. Do you not think they should help me? P & M 3 Answer: T think your parents are being very unkind to you, very ungenerous and most unwise Pathers and mothers bring their children into the world unasked, and it is their duty to do everything possible to make the life they have thrust on the child as happy and as prosperous as they can. Your iliness should make an especial appeal to your nts and fill them with a sympathy that should make them want to help you overcome your handicap. If they are 50 hard-hearted and so insensible to their duty that they do not recognize this. then the plain business aspect of the case should appeal to them and they should see that even in dollars and cents it will be a good investment to help you to become self-supporting.+ Otherwise you will be a tax on them to the end. Uneducated and untrained, you will always have to work for a small wage, but if you will fit yourself for some particular line and become an expert in it you can command a good salary. Perhaps when your parents realize that, they will lend you the money to take the course of study that you wish. DOROTHY DIX JDEAR MISS DIX—T am a bachelor very much in love with & widow of 40.

ANT Answer: 1 don't have to boom the matrimonial stock of bachelors, Anton, because they don't need it. Women don’t have to be persuaded to marry them. They are just waiting for a chance to grab them. And, par- ticularly, you needn't be afraid to try your luck with a widow with two children. "She will regard you as an answer to a widow's prayers.

Prob- ably you're saying to yourself, “Wouldn't I just love to lie around on a couch and look pretty, with some rich father or husband to take care of me?” It is not a matter of whether women ought to work. They have to work for a living. If they didn’t work, they wouldn't eat. Women aren’t taking jobs away from men. A woman used to stay at home and make her dresses. She now goes to a factory and makes them, or she goes to a store and sells them. And the world gets better clothes. Where in the old days she stayed at home and put up vegetables, now she goes to a big factory and puts them up. She used to stay at home and bake bread. Now men go into big bakeries and bake bread. In other words, the work is still being done, but it is being done outside the home instead of inside. The jobs are rearranged. They are done in | different places. When you talk about men’s work and women's work you date yourself. The sensible girl ‘takes things as they are today and makes the best of it without wasting a lot of longing on things that are past. But, as a matter of fact, you seldom hear a young girl talking about this. It is mostly old men and old women. (Copyright, 1931.) JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in Etiquette. BY JOSEPH J. FRISCH.

FEATURES Attractive Edgings of Petals BY MARY MARSHALL. At one of the first smart dances of the Autumn a well known young wom an, famed for her good looks, her money | and her good taste, wore a dress that any girl might copy at home. | Yet it had all the savor and flavor of Paris—indeed, it came straight from one of the great dressmakers there. It bad all the freshness and allure of modern youth. ‘The dress was made of crepe in lovely shade of green. Right here a word of warning. The girl to whom green Is not becoming should never attempt it. It can be the most deadly unbecoming color in the evening im- aginable, but it can also be quite lovely A little make-up helps a lot in making it becoming, of course; but even so, | The distinguishing detail of the dress in" question was an edging of petals | that swished and frilled about the feet | in the most beguiling fashion.

(Staphylindae Family.) HE devil, it seems, has a coach horse and a darning needle in the insect world. The rove beetle has many—yes, many— accomplishments. Besides being a coach horse, he is a regular Houdini. Flying about the air with his gauzy wings glistening in the sun, he looks very much like a very large wasp. When he reaches the und the lightning change artist quickly tucks his long wings beneath the short wing cases. He ush with the tip of even gives them a in his very supple tail or uses a foo the disappearing stunt. Again you see this amazing creature in a new role. He is a great sprinter, rushing about the market place. He has his whole family clearing u? all decayed vegetable matter. He belongs to the carrion and scavenger beetle family and is a great friend of ours. Should he be disturbed while at his task, he lifts his tail in a most menac- ing manner. If you do not know he is blufing, you are sure he is about to stab you. Not a bit of it. He cannot sting any one, but, truth to tell, he can squirt a vile-smelling fluid for some dis- tance. The insects flee from it, and they have just cause. ‘The family is a large one. Three thousand specles of rove beetles are found in North America. About 20 species are very large. They are more than an inch long, dressed in a dull cinnamon brown, with a row of square, blackish spots along the center of the abdomen. ‘They have long, inquisitive antenna and six long, spine-edged legs which ave a claw on each foot. Their wings e long and transparent. They tuck away under the short wing cases in a marvelous manner. When in use the hard, short wing cases are held straight up. The eyes are compound and the jaws strong and efficient. ‘The children resemble their parents. Whole fdmilies are often seen busily engaged in getting their food. The family as a rule seeks seclusion under the bark of trees. ‘They are sociable creatures, and seem to get along very nicely with any insect which joins the food-hunting crowd. They have members in their family who are self-invited guests of the ants and termites. At first the hosts object to their company. but later they are ac- cepted and stay for a long visit. What persuasive tactics are brought to bear upon the host I do not know. It may be a little spraying again, but we do know they are allowed to remain, They are not fighters as a rule, but they can put up the greatest bluff. The agile tail is raised and flashes about. ‘The wing cases fly open, and when the threatening creature approaches his en- emy one look in his eye seems to be enough. Then the warlike look disap- pears when the enemy is routed and a peaceful, busy rove beetle is again H. B.

BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. aarnn ane chlaos T R z HIS is the typical scientist's handwriting, small, yet weu} spaced. Though it is not a particularly pretty hand, it is easy to read. There is great simplicity of letter forms, though they ! are clearly made, with little question as to their identification. This scientific type is more generally found in men than in women, yet this writer is essentially feminine. She is apparently very dainty and fastidious | ut herself and her surroundings. Harsh, unattractive things would irri- tate her and definitely distract her from doing constructive work. She would seemingly keep her belongings in a very exact way, being able to locate anything at a moment’s notice. The l same. would hold true in her behavior. She would always be precise about keeping promises and appointments. She would never agree to any arrange- | ments unless she was sure of being able | to fulfill her part of them. The indi- | vidual who glibly makes promises, with no assurance of being able to keep them, weuid annoy and disgust her. It would be wise for her, however, to try to adopt a more liberal attitude, for her type is apt to become too critical and demanding of others. It will be fortunate if she has the training to undertake some manner of real research work along scientific lines. If she has not this formal training, however, she might prepare herself to become a doctor’s or dentist’s assistant in a fairly short time. If the personal contacts in this work do not appeal to her, she might be interested in dietetics. This is a rather new field, and as such offers extensive opportunities.

Eugénie hats, Eugenie | dresses, Eugenie wraps and Eugenie | sleeves. And yet when you look present | day clothes over in a thorough way and | then look over the fashion plates of | the days when Eugenie was a real per- |son and not a mere tradition, you dis- cover that there is about as b dif- | ference between present-day fashions |and the fashions of Eugenie’s day as | could possibly exist. Our whole &tti- {Lude toward clothes is different, | 'The ladies of Eugenie’s day wore | tightly laced corsets and we do mot, they wore a half dozen full petticoats or | they didn't feel properly dressed and | they wore crinolines or hoops. We wear | smart high-heeled shoes, at least for formal occasions, and Eugenie wore funny little low-heeled shoes that | couldn’t possibly be called smart. | There are a dozen other striking dif- ferences between the clothes of today and the clothes that Eugenie wore and vet it isn’t surprising. Because that is precisely what happens when a_so- called revival occurs in fashions. Back in the 1880's there was a Greek re- vival, and yet if there was ever a time when women's clothes were opposed to the Greek ideals of dress it was in the days when women wore bustles and | bangs. And there was a Directoire re- vival back in 1908 or 1909 when the only similarity between fashions ard those of the real Direcroire period was the raised waistline. Speaking of Eugenie fashions and negliges, reminds us that the illus- trious Engenie herself never wore them The story goes that the ouly time she | possessed what ladies cacled “wrap- | pers” in those days was when her be- {loved son had the measles and she {had to sit beside his bed at night. Otherwise the proud empress just had no use for a neglige dress of any sort.
