WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, SCREEN ODDITIES THE EVENING STAR, NOVEMBER 24, - 1931. - OUR CHILDREN LITTLE BENNY than | but it was a little too loose at the waist- | #on’s hat or doing things to an out-of- date coat to give it an up-to-date ap-| pearance—when it comes to things like that, trust a French woman. No woman in the world compares with her in this gentle art of making things over. . _ Today's sketch shows a dress from Paris. It is decidedly new, but it serves as the model for a little French friend of ours who had an old dress to make A WASHINGTON over. The dress itself was long enough, line and the neckline was out of date and s little worn. And so this clever French girl bought & yard and more of. lka-dotted silk, looked once, twice, hree times at the charming new dress, went home and in a surprisingly short time had completely transformed her last season’s dress. She had taken in the seams so as to make her dress a little snugger at the waist and hips, and covered up any possible signs of al- teration at the waist with the girdle | made from the polka-dotted material. Then from a square of the silk she made the new collar trimming, with the points fastened at the back and the front forming a cowl line at the neck.

Seventy- five years old this month, he has been on the su bench for 15 years. ‘Woodrow appointed him in 1916. He is one of the famed trio of dis- senters of the court—Holmes, Brandeis and Btfine. And he is one of the court’s ‘nfluh appointment to the bench created considerable discussion. The Senate delayed from late in January until June to confirm him. And a subcommittee held hearings for weeks on his quali- fications. Elihu Root, the late Chief Justice Taft and President Lowell of Harvard protested his appointment on the THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Pabric contrast is the emphatic ap- oval of the younger set.

Today Brandeis—the dissenter, lib- the court. For to the trio of Holmes, Brandeis and Stone have been added the names of Hughes and Roberts. His opinions invariably show ‘his pas- sion for getting all the facts and exact information in a case. They are writ- ten in careful and eloquent English. He is not the type of person one could get to know intimately. He lives simply, rarely if ever ventures out into the Capital social life; and works al- most unceasingly. He is often seen walking the streets of Wa on one of his long strolls for exercise. Formerly he got his recre- ation by paddling a cance on the Po- tomac or in the Tidal Basin, but he has.given that up. Perhaps his best friend on the court is Justice Holmes. The two formerly took long walks together, stopping here and there to look at things which in- terested them. Of late, however, on account of the advancing age of Mr. Holmes, he has walked alone. o R SR Macaroon Pudding. thirds cupful of orange juice and let stand for a few mmutes.

MARKETS, Inc, Moot | Would Save You Money BY ANGELO PATRL Handwork. |, This is the time to teach handwork. I believe that all children who are gifted with skillful hands should be |trained to use them thoroughly and well, to the end that the world may be made beautiful in the everyday things | we use. The machines turn out things by the million and they look and feel Jjust that way. The more we use ma- chines, the more we will want to sur- round ourselves with bits of hand- | wrought beauty. I know that all children are not skilled in this way. I do not ask that all children be trained in this way, but only those whose gift is plain, Why train a boy who is by birth or inherit- ance a skilled woodcarver to be a clerk? Train the child who has a fondness for office work to be a clerk if he wishes it, but do not overlook the woodcarver and the potter and the weaver and the cab- inetmaker. Train the child who likes to run a machine to run one, but train the one who looks at a bit of cloth with an artistic eye, who uses a pair of scis- sors to cut & line Grecian in its purity, to do handwork and create lovely things. ‘The world needs beauty more every day as the machine products turn out uglier and uglier things for us to use {or to wear, The longer we have to submit to the crudity of our belongings, the keener our desire for beauty is going to grow. Our hand-gifted chil- dren should be trained to meet this [ will be no doubt about | | their power to earn a living and a good one, and there will be no doubt either of ‘their great spiritual value to the | Nation. | An old, old lady showed me a patch- work quilt she had made when she was a girl. She sald it was the wild duck Ipattern. It was very lovely. On a background of muslin, so aged that it |was creamy ivory and like old silk in texture, long rows of triangles of calico were stitched. It was quilted in half- ch squares, by hand, and every row |of sewing was & delight to an artist. “I always liked to make pretty things, but I never got much chance. I had my work to do.” Just as if making lovely quilts was not work. Women used to do fine weaving, lovely needlework, in the days before the machines came. Men used to make bits of fine cabinetwork and leave them heirlooms to the generations that fol- lowed them. Some of this work was crude, but much of it was lovely, as the antique dealers will tell you should you want a bit of it today. We have a better chance to teach handwork now than the schools of the |older day had. We are missing the op- portunity. We still insist upon giving the same instruction to every child, re- |gardless of his tastes, abilities or needs. So doing, we waste much time and | {be to accent and train the peculiar |gift hidden in each to the profit of the |Nation. ~ ~ Handwork is going to be rare and precious. Train the skillful children to |make it their lifework in whatever (fields their power lies and life will be richer for all of us. Pet Mice Fad in London.

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I do not have very much time ror money to professional beauty treatments and I would like you to give me some advice on how to keep my hands in good con- dition and how to make them soft and white. I do a great deal of housework and my hands are always red and rough-looking. Your column is useful and helpful to busy women. Thank you for your interest, advice and service. MRS. HOUSEWIFE. Answer.—Glad to help you, dear woman, and I would like you to have my leaflet on the care of the hands and nails. It will give you more de- talled advice than I have space for at this time. Houscwork is apt to make the hands rough and red unless one takes a few miautes’ time each day to give them the care that they should have. Make a point of taking a short Test some time during the afternoon and plan to give yourself a beauty | treatment at ihis time. Wash your hands and serio your nails with a small nailbrush. Dry thoroughly. Press back the cuticle at the base of the nail. Clean under the nails with an orange- wood stick. Wrap a wisp of absorbent cotton around the tip of the stick and spend on | skin it 0. move surplus oi! and apply a hand lo= tion. You may use a commercial hand lotion or the iemon loflon which will appear in my beauty column tomorrow. ‘Watch for it. LOIS LEEDS. Breathing Problem. .
