WOMAN’S PAGE. Evening Necklines Are Low Cut BY MARY MARSHALL. RESSMAKERS propose but in the end women dispose, and the truth of this statement is apparent in a number of re- cent fashion developments. One .might, for example, cite black. For very good reasons, no doubt, the dressmakers here and abroad had made up their minds to persuade women to wear colors this season instead of black. Very dark browns and greens and wine tones were offered/ as substitutes for black, and bright colors were empha- sized for street as well as indoor wear. And, of course, oolors have been used more plentifully. But in the opinion of many well dressed women black is still extremely smart, and black bats. black suits, black coats, are almost as lly worn as ever. ‘"’;;Ire.nythtra was much talk about higher necklines for evening and about covered shoulders, and yet as fashions have developed evening necklines are Just as low as ever. The point see to be this—that for a great many ev ning occasions women are wearing dresses of the Sunday night sort, cut usually no lower than an afternoon dress. But for really formal occasions necklines are decidedly low. If you are going to wear a low-cut dress, you might as well wear one that is low enough to be really smart. A pretty trick is to fasten the straps of the evening dress with buckles, back or front, where they attath to the dress ooches, if you can get them in pairs, :rly also be used, and the effect is most charming.

You had to wear crepe de chine for mod- erate neatness and ~even that got mussed. And then your hats—oh dear—they were s0 big and so elaborate. Incidentally they made you look so old. Now we get a knitted suit and an extra sweater to wear under it and we're always neat and pressed and comforable. A knitted suit, a soft hat that can be rolled up, & scarf, a long coat, and you're ready to cross the country in ‘a Pullman. Slippers even come soft and flat. And this year to make things especially easy, we have the new knitted underwear. It's good- looking and it needs no ironing. The problem of clothes for wandering over sea and Jand has been solved. Indeed, ther= no longer is any problem. About the only things that don't fold up and lie flat are the bottles and creams and such. One elderly woman told me that she has to have 40 differ- ent products. It was a pity, because mot one of the 40 showed any results. My own_ preferences are simple enough. I like to wash my face with soap and water and a soft brush. After- ward, if there is a lot of train dust, I over the skin with rose-water. Once a while I beat up the white of an egg and spread it over my face, leave it on for 20 minutes. then wipe it off with a soft, wet towel.

When you do find something so perfect that you'd like to use it for the rest of your life, the styles change and you can never buy another one. ¥ I like to have styles change. I get weary of looking at the same things on other women as well as myself. But I wish one or two things would stay put. (Copyright, 1931.) Artichokes in Casserole. Select large, smooth artichokes, scrape the tubers and drop at once into cold water to keep them from turning dark. Drain, pack into a cas- serole, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dot with butter, add no water, but cover, and bake in a moderately hot oven for about 60 minutes, or until the artichokes are tender. Serve in the casserole. Bi-ce and Corn lfinl. Sift two cupfuls of cornmeal with one tablespoonful of sugar, half a teaspoon- ful of salt and two and one-half tea- spoonfuls of baking powder.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, ' MODES Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. .‘.«477& Lo ce cacati HE large upper loop of the “k” used by this writer is of especial interest. Her other upper loops are small, suggesting lack of imagination and great practi- cality. The “k.” however, gives us an entirely different insight into her char- acter. From it we may judge her to be a very unusual person. She apparently would never subscribe to conventional or ordinary ideas. She would seem to demand different things and would want to be “different” herself. It may be that at times she goes to extremes in order to create this atmosphere. Pos- sibly very modernistic ideas of decora- tion would be found in her home. In dress she would probably tend to wear very extreme styles. The popular mode would never be patronized by her. The large, rounded loops of her “p’s” suggest a lovable nature that may be slightly tinged with jealousy. Having a very strong regard for her friends, she might sometimes fear that this regard might not be returned in its fullest extent. Instead of leaving things to a natural course, she might perhaps show her fear or jealousy. This would possibly only result in a real estrangement. 5 She would not seem to care for a quiet, detached life. Country or subur- ban living would bore her. She could never apparently be content without the light and bustle of a city. She would want to spend her time in the midst of the crowds, mixing with them. People would appear to have a great fascination for her, interesting her more than books. She would not tire of see- ing and wondering about the many faces and the lives behind them. It might be that she would become inter- ested in some type of social service work, where she could come in close contact with many lives.

CLXIX. ; Garden Snail. EVER look down upon the snail being a traveler of note, he is by far one of the most inter- esting animals in the world. he carries his home on his back, and can go where he will. He is a stunt performer, too. In a flash he is able as & slow creature. Besid He can be as incependent as he wishes, o) to fold himself up lengthwise and dis- appear into the back of his home. He has only one foot, it is true, but this one runs the whole length of the lower side of his body. When he walks he stretches this foot out of the shell house. Along its sides are flanges pouring out a sticky substance which enables the stroller to stick fast to any object he walks on. Smooth objects are as easily clung to as rough ones. Then, should he desire to let go, he can do 50 as easily as we could. The thing is to get him to want to let go when we wish him to. He leaves behind him a fi:éh of silver to let you know he has called. ‘When ready to take his constitutional he sticks the rear end of his foot out first, then the head, and what seems to be a pair of rubberlike horns. These, if you please, are eye stalks. They are like tubes, with a bulb at each end. The eye can drop down out of sight if need Another pair of shorter horns is under the eye stalks. These answer the same purpose as a cat’s whiskers, and are his hearin d feeling ns. As Mr. Spail ambles stretches an eye stalk up an amazing distance. This is a sort of observation tower. If all seems well, the other eye comes up and surveys things in the other direction. Should he strike some object, the eye drops down into its tube. ‘The feelers are used for nearby objects, and are very sensitive organs. Touch them and see how quickly the snail withdraws into his home and closes the door behind him. He uses a sticky, thick substance to block the way. ‘When he thinks all danger has passed he resumes his stroll. The motion is almost too slow to see, but the muscles move the animal along its path and the sticky foot clings to the position taken. Sometimes Mr. Snail may be seen standing up on his tail, inspecting the land. When seeking food he walks up the stalk of the plant to reach the tender leaf or juicy fruit. He has an upper set of sharp, sawlike teeth and a round tongue. He works his way into the fruit and gets his face all smeared up like a child in a jam pot. ‘The snail is both father and mother. ‘The eggs are placed under stones or leaves. They are beautiful and pearl- like, being about the size of a pea. They have the softest of shells and are held together with the mucus he uses for traveling. When the baby hatches, his house has one spiral turn, and as he grows he adds another spiral to the lip of his home. A breathing place is lo- :'lltfii where the snail is joined to the ell. ‘When ready to go into Winter quar- ters snails creep under leaves, close their homes with three doors and leave a tiny hole for fresh air to enter.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX D!:AR MISS DIX—Why won't men and women awaken to the fact that love is not God's gift to the and careless? Why don't they realize that love, like everything else in life, must be worked for and guarded if we are to have it to bless us? Isn't it pitiful the way men and women let the greatest thing in life slip Lhn)\l%h their fingers when with only a little effort on their part they could hold it? I know what I am speak- ing of because I had love and I lost it. ONE WHO HAS LEARNED. Answer—You speak truly, my dear. The saddest thing in the world is the way men and women abuse love, the way they trample it under their feet; the way they stab it to death with a thousand wounds, and then the way they mourn for it after it has perished. 'HEY seem to think that love is indestructible and that no matter how they misuse it, it will always remain beautiful and untarnished. They seem to think that they can throw love away and then come back and pick it up again whenever they feel as if they wanted it. They seem to think that once you have love nothing that you do can alienate it from you, and that once ng:rwn loves you he or she is bound to go on loving you to the end of the chapter, no matter how you treat him or her. 1t is a strange fallacy. Love is not indestructible. It is as perishable as a wind-blown orchid. Of all treasures, it is the one most easily lost and the most seldom recovered. And the fact that we are loved today is no indication that we will be loved tomorrow, for the human heart is fickle and prone to change, IT would save a lot of broken hearts and wrecked homes if men and women would only realize that love is not a miracle that is daily worked for their special benefit. It is a fragile flower that they must work to make tarive, that they must nurture and tend with unceasing vigilance if they want to keep it alive and have it bless their lives. Every day we see people who are killing love, and we wonder at their folly. We see men marry women who love them and then we see these men neglecting their wives, torturing them with jealousy, showing atten- tions to other women, using their homes as only a place to go and come from. and we wonder if these men think their wives will go on loving philanderers. ‘We see men who are surly and grouchy and who never speak to their wives except to find fault with them. We see men who never pay their wives a compliment, or take them out to any place of amusement, or do a single thing to make them happy. We see men who are tightwads and who make of their wives nothing but unpaid servants, and we wonder that these men carnot see that they are starving love to death. WE see women who m‘rlf men who loved them because they were pretty and dainty, who fet themselves get slovenly and slouchy after marriage. We see wives who nag and fret and complain and whine, and we wonder that they do not know they are driving their husbands away from them. We see wives who rule their husbands with petty tyrannies and deprive them of every bit of personal liberty, and we wonder that they don't see their husbands are bound to come to hate them. ‘When you look around among your divorced friends you can see how in almost every case the man or the woman killed love. It was an inside Job, for the other man and woman always come in after the husband or wife has slain the other's affection. Pity, isn't it? DOROTHY DIX.

It was Sum- mer, and it was no trouble at all to get plenty to eat. Happy-go-lucky and rather lazy is Unc' Billy Possum, and this sort of life just suited him.

But once in it, he always felt safe, and that was a comfort. “Nothin’ ever can happen to me in here,” he often said to himself. One afternoon in Midsummer he awakened to find it so dark that he thought evening had come and it was time to get up and go look for his din- ner.

Modern parents have a problem that did not trouble their own fathers and mothers. The motor car has taken the place of the horse and buggy and now comes the question, “Shall the boy and girl of the family be allowed to use] the car for their own social affairs?” Of course that depends first upon the character of the young person. There are boys and girls of 18 and 19 who are as mature as they will be at 30 and as dependable. But they are few and far between. Most young people of this age are carefree and adven- turous, out for g thrill. I am the last to blame them." Youth is the time for merrymaking, for gay adventuring. But, alas, youth is the time of danger. It is true that the young people can get licenses to drive cars. That proves to the satisfaction of the community that they have the skill n to drive a car on the public roads. But it goes no farther than that. No license says that the young person has the maturity of judgment, the ripened ex- perience, the tested responsibility that insures safety to himself and his friends under all circumstances. You see, youth is subject to urges and temptations that maturity is freer from. Youth longs to test life, while maturity already has received life’s answer. Youth is reckless in ignorance of the conse- quences of its actions, while maturity is reckless only in despair.

Nancy had seen too many cases of jealous children not to realize what she must guard egainst when she brought Sister Susan home to Peter and Cousin Joan. When a child has been the favored person to whom stories have been told, whose hurts have been cured and whose affection has been returned, it is most difficult for that child to see a new and helpless little baby come into the home and walk away with all the fa- vors which used to be given to him. Joan and Peter came to the hospital to see Nancy. The new little baby was brought in and Nancy told how help- less it was. “This little girl needs lomebod{od'n see that she is covered up, somebody to guard her when she lies on the bed or sits in her ca . She doesn’t know a thing about people. She doesn’t know what will hurt her and what won't” “Do_you suppose, children, that you could be her hands and feet, her body- guard until she is old enough to look out for herself? I suppose there will be times when I will be the only per- son who can keep her from crying or make her comfortable. But I think you could spare me to do things like that for this helpless little mite, don't She Jooked anxiously at Peter as she spoke. “Of course, Mommie. I bet other kids don’'t have a little baby sister. I'll bet I could let them come in to see her and charge money, t0o, don’t you? I could scare away the dogs and tell the milkman to be quiet when she sleeps. Sure, Il help.” Nancy smiled her thanks into her young son’s eyes and only hoped her smile did not betray her amusement | and her pride. Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Dream Enthusiasts. What does it mean for one to take more than ordinary interest in one’s dreams? It may mean that these dream enthusiasts have merely been reading Freud. They are then looking for “repressed degires” which they fancy they might have—and not know it. Horrible fancy! Signs of morbidity. Now, if these dream enthusiasts have never read Freud, you might assume (according to the Freudian tradition) that these enthusiasts ?rlmlt“'! minds. For it's a well known fact that the backward races attach much impor- tance to their dreams. They order ir daily lives according to the content of their nightly imaginations, or whatever it is that makes a dream what it is out of what it is not. 1If you cared to speculate further, you might say that dream enthusiasts are self-centered persons. They are trying to find out how they appear as the cen- tral figure on the stage of daily life. Do you not recall that in ev one of your dreams you are the one who plays the important role? —_————— Date or Fig Fillin; This filling may be spread betw the layers any kin burden of a maturity of which they nreceomxlale'ely t;lnnocem.m “Can I use the car 1l not to be asked. when-ehmmn: taught to drive a car he is taught also that he drives only when his father. or mother sits beside him.
