WOMAN'S PAGE.’ Ruchings on the New Dresses BY MARY MARSHALL. EING up to date this season means _be Just a little bit old-fashioned, and unless you can discover one or two nine- teenth century details about your twentieth-century costume you ean hardy hope to look in style. Ruchings are among the details that have both charm and quaintness. They are really used on some of the new dresses. Ruchings, little narrow fluted #rills of mousseline or chiffon, white and dainty, that are sewed into the neckline of the dark dress. Sometimes this neckline is at the op of & high collar, under the chin and not far below the ears. And then | indeed it is quaint. But sometimes the ruching is used in a frock with a V neck or round neck or square neck—just a little softened BEDTIME STORIES Quarrel Comes to End. ‘When common danger threatens all A petty quarrel seemeth small. —Old Mother Nature. | | Sharpshin the Hawk, like all mem- | bers of the Hawk family, has sharp| eyes. They are wonderful eyes. They | can see a long distance. Now it hap- pens that on this particular morning | gmshln flew over Farmer Brown's | eld, and as usual his sharp eyes were watching for bird or mouse, for he was hungry. He looked along the row of sunflower plants at one end of that cornfield and caught sight of something _yellow-and-black darting about one of those plants at the end of the row. / “Chicoree the Goldfinch, and he is In a bad temper. He is fighting with some one and when one is fighting he THEY HAD CONTINUALLY TO DODGE CHICOREE DARTING IN AND OUT AND STABBING AT THEM ‘WITH HIS SHORT LITTLE BILL. forgets everything else,” thought Sharpshin. “I have had many a good meal as the result of a quarrel. To be sure, Chicoree will make hardly more than a bite, but a bite is a bite.” He swung about and shot straight for the place where Chicores and Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse were fool- ishly quarreling over the sunflower seeds. Danny and Nanny are stubborn little people. They were getting the worst of the fight because they were at a great disadvantage. They are ground people and so were not at all at home so far above ground. They had to continually dodge Chicoree and at the same time hang on to avoid a fall. Chicoree, darting in and out and stabbing at them with his short little bill, kept them on the defense, and they had no real chance to get hold of him. But they wouldn't give up. They were what is called fighting mad and they forgot everything else. They forgot that there was such a thing as danger. They for- got to watch out, ana no Meadow Mouse can ever afford to do that. There are too many enemies always looking | to his surroundings. edge of white around the top of a dark frock. Ruching is fragile, of course, but it is a delightful way of assuring dainti- t | ness and freshess to a dark frock. And women therefore welcome it back with a real enthusiasm It must be immaculate. That goes without saying. So it must be fre- quently changed. And though it should be sewed in firmly enough to keep it in place, it should be sewed in lightly enough so that it can be easily changed. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Sanity vs. Insanity. During the last 20 years the differ- ence between sanity and insanity has become a popular query. In a sense this is the central question of that growing science called mental hygiene. There is such a thing as knowing where you are, with whom you are as- sociated and just when you have been where you are. This is called “orienta- tion.” It's & sort of psychological ge- sions—place, time and personal con- nection. ‘When one loses a sense of these three dimensions, one loses a corresponding ability to sustain ordinary adjustments And then one may be said to be mentally sick. Of course, there are many other things in the mind that is going wrong. But these three easily stand out as the leading factors in the question of the difference between sanity and insanity. It is also well to remember that some- | thing like these unholy three occa- cionally overtakes the sanest of minds. (Copyright, 1931.) Steamed Brown Bread. Mix together one cupful of yellow cornmeal, two cupfuls of graham flour and one teaspoonful of salt. Add two cupfuls of sour milk and two-thirds cupful of honey and then add one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking soda dissolved in one tablespoonful of boil- ing water. Add one cupful of raisins.

It was Chicoree who discovered Sharpshin. Chicoree had stop) on the top of another sunflower plant to get his breath and wisely he took a hasty look around. He saw Sharpshin just as the latter started that way. He was coming fast, terribly fast. Not a moment was to be lost. Chicoree dived headlong in under fhe long leaves of the cornstalks where he would be at least partly hidden from the flerce sharp eyes. But even in his fright he didn’t forget to warn Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. Even as he took that headlong dive he shrieked s warning. “HIWE! Hawk! Hawk!” he shrieked. That was enough for Danny and Nanny. Yes, sir, that was enough for them. Quarre], sunflower seeds, every- thing but safety was forgotten. They didn’t wait to find out where that Hawk was. They didn'tjwait a second. They didn’t even run all the way down that lant. Half way down they jumped, &nding with a thump, thump. Danny ran one way and Nanny another, for it is always best to separate wher an en- emy appears suddenly. It is likely to be confusing to him. It may make him hesitate for a second ,deciding which one to follow, and in the life of a Meadow Mouse a second, one little sec- ond, may mean the difference between safety and being caught. Danny darted into some tall grass and squatted close to the ground, keep- ing perfectly still, his little heart thumping with fright. Nanny darted into the cornfield and hid between the stalks of a big pl , her heart also going pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright. Now Danny and Nanny had not been seen by Sharpshin until they started to run and he was traveling too fast to check himself in time to swoop at one of them, so he kept on after Chicoree. He shot headlong in among the corn Elxnu. but was just too late. Chicoree ad managed to get out of sight. Sharpshin swung up and hovered above the corn, his sharp eyes searching for the least movement or a glimpse of yellow and black. He saw neither and in a few minutes flew away. So ended a foolish quarrel for Chico- ree and Danny and Nanny wisely de- cided that there were sesds enough for all and fighting over them didn't pay. e CoDYTighL,_1031.) oo Largest selling Caie Sugar On the air Monday nights at 9.30 Sweeten it with Domino” for them for them ever to forget to Why you'll ometry comprehending three dimen- | | ninth G STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Poffiness Under the Eyes. Dear Miss Leeds: What can I do for puffiness under my eyes? I also have a few lines around them. Would w cause the puffiness? I am 30 years old. MARIE. Answer.—Worry, weeping and various forms of ill health can cause the puffi- ness. My advice is that you have a thorough physical examination by a doctor and then try to build up radiant health. Have your eyes examined also, as the wrinkles may be due to eyestrain. At bedtime pat a little tissue cream on the wrinkles and puffy places. Next morning wipe off the cream and gently pat on a little of the following astrin- gent, being very careful not to get it into your eyes: Two ounces rosewater, eight drops simple tincture of benzoin. Do not massage around your eyes. LOIS LEEDS. Oily Hair. Dear Miss Leeds: I wash my hair on Saturdays, but by Wednesday it is oily again. What can I do with it? EVELYN. Answer. — Sometimes washing hair like yours too often tends to stimulate the excessive oilv secretion. Try giving it a very thorough shampoo every other Saturday and use a cleansing scalo tonic three times a week. For this pur- pose you may use one of the well known mild antiseptic ‘washes that are ncw betng recommended for a variety of uses as remedies, mouth washes, etc. Or here is & simple recipe that you may have put up by the drug- gist: ~ One-half dram salicylic acid, two drams tincture of cantharides, one-half dram tincture of capsicum, five ounces bay rum. The tonic may be applied with a bit of clean absorbent cotton. ‘When you wash your hair, lather and rinse it at least four separate times YOU OUGHT TO USE RINSO.

An excellent way to improve the ap- ! pearance of a cook stove is to take the soap suds after washing clothes and wash the stove all over with the suds, then use the stove polish as usual. This greatly improves the appearance of a stove by making it shine brightly. Use the suds on your flatirons also; it will help to make them smooth.
