WOMAN’S PAGE Features of Ne BY MARY *w Sports Dress MARSHALL. T wasn't a home-made dress, but very new sports dress bought one of the high-priced where you pay rather well for the sake of getting something tinctive. But at first glance we knew a it that this dress possessed a tip-top idea for the home dressmaker. So here it is, sketched for you, and you can see shops dis- for mak ow yourself how easy it would be to use of the idea in one of your | dresses this Autumn. The question was made of black wool crepe with white wool trim- ming you can combine any har- monious colors you like. On a brown | dress you might use Spanish tile or green wool yarn. On a green dress you might use either brown or Spanish tile or a lighter shade of green. On black you could use brown, green, Spanish tile, or beige The border trimming is the old- fashioned “one-two-three” stitch Thread a coarse needle with the wool attach it to the edge of the dress where you want the trimming to appear and proceed with a buttonhole stitch, tak- ing stitches about a quarter of an inch apart and making the first stitch about one-third of an inch deep, the second two-thirds of an inch deep and the last an inch deep. The trimming appears around the neckline and down the front closing. Then, to carry out the idea, you should have string and balls of the wool. The strings are made by a sim- | ple chain done with a crochet hook. To | make the balls, wind wool on a card| about an inch and a half wide. Slit| the card at the sides until it is nearly | cut in two, insert a strand of wool in these slits and draw up, breaking the card and removing it at the same time. Tie securely and cut the ends of the wool that has been wound round the card. After that trim the wool to form a smooth round ball and attach it to the ends of your chain stitch ring.

He has a reputation of being one of the most careful and precise of writers. No speech, lecture lor book he has written leaves his hand until he has satisfied himself that he has ex- |pressed himself - exactly as he in- tended He regards thor- L% oughness in edit- | ing end revising as essential, whether |it be a statement | or & book. He has been known to re- vise as many as five or six times before turning out the finished prod- uct. Usually he writes his first draft in longhand, then gives it to & stenog- | rapher with instructions that it be | copied, leaving wide spaces between each line. Then he edits the copy. At other times he dictates from penciled notes. But the process of edit- and revision is always the same. e President is as careful in gather- ing his material as he is in the actual writing. He makes an exhaustive search for material on every topic he writes on. He calls for special reports. He holds conferences. No source is overlooked Of course, now all his writing is con- cerned with governmental topics. But he has done other things, t00.

This book, probably his most ambitious undertaking, was writ- ten for friends with no idea of general | etrculation Mr. Hoover can't be said to be fond of writing.

He was learning much and learning it fast, was Runty. But it wasn't comfortable nor in any- way pleasant. In fact it was a ter- rible scary way of learning a lesson. However, some lessons are best learned that way. They are the ones least likely to be forgotten. It was one thing to watch Unc’ Billy | Possum fool Flip the Terrier by play- | him at ing deed, and quite another thing actually to be the one who was trying to fool an enemy. It was one thing to practice playing dead and wholly a dif- ferent matter to be playing dead for his life. There could be no mistakes now. Just the least little mistake might cost him his life. Now Runty knew just what he should do. He should play dead but also he should bide his time and watch for a chance to escape. There would be just as much folly in lettin an opportunity pass as there w in letting Black Pussy know that he was still alive. So Runty, lying there looking as dead as a dead Possum could look, was all the time very much alive and very much awake. “Ah must watch out fo’ mah chance,” he”kep( saying over and over to him- self. Now Biack Pussy wasn't hungry. 8he hadn't caught Runty because she want- ed him to eat, at least not right awa She loves to hunt and that is why she had caught him. Had she been ve hu playing dead would have done no good; she would have eaten once, But not being huner. Black Pussy was undecided what to do. She wanted to take Runty home to show Farmer Brown's Boy what & smart hunter she was, and she wanted to hunt some more. Which should she do? There she sat trying to make up her mind, Runty lying at her feet. ¥ was the rustling of a leaf off at one side that decided the matter. e. gTy inty Heavy Price of Big Weddings A To begin with, they are starting with a show-wedding. scrumptious affair, with the bride in white satin and orange blossoms and veil and bridesmaids in picture hats and dresses and with shower bouquets and special music and a reception an plunge two families into debt for thy T her tr or eight and whether she will have ‘To achieve the object of her I DorothyDix| <~ YOUNG couple T know is about to be married. boy and girl as you could find in & Sabbath aay?foyu:.:y" firei upright, energetic and deeply in love with each other, they should found one of the homes that are the bulwark of the Nation it takes no prophet to foretell that their marriage is foredoomed to disaster because they are getting off on the wrong foot.
