M AG AZINE PAGE. _STAR. W.ASHINGTON, 2 5 i O \\ll)\},xD\Y New Spring Evening Dresses BY MARY HE new Spring evening dresses | are charmingly simple. They are made of chiffon, silk crepe, silk net or other soft material. Occasionally they show interest- ing floral prints, but more often they are in plain tones—a clear pastel tone of blue, rose, yellow, green or violet, or one of the delicate off-white tints sug- gestive of pale Summer sunsets. For very formal wear the new evening | dresses actually touch the floor, but for the useful evening dress that you will wear at country club dances and din- | ner parties a slightly higher hem line ' UNCLE RAY’S CORNER 'chnnxed and the capital was moved to A Fast Trip Across Asia. VISITING PEIPING. HE Gobi Desert is part of Mon- golia, home of the Mongols. The | Mongols are related to the Chi- nese, and their . homeland be- | longs to the Chinese Republic. Desert and mountain lands are not well fitted for raising crops, and Mon- golia is not nearly so thickly settled as China proper. We are going higher and higher. We | must cross tall mountains on our way to the real China, where more than | 400,000,000 persons live. What is that long line below us? It | 15 part of the Great Wall of China. More than 2.000 years ago a Chinese ruler ordered men to start the building of this wall. It was made of stones, bricks and soil. The total length, run- ning a line along the curves, was 1,500 miles. Much of the wall is still standing. Beyond the wall we come to the Great Plain of China, and near its border is the City of Peiping. In former days it was the capital of China, and was called “Peking,” but the name was UNCLE RAY, Care of The Evening Star, Washington, D. C.

This dress is made of bluish green silk crepe, with a frill above the deeper blue velvet girdle, giv- ing the new built-up skirt effect. The bodice 1s snug, but not too snug, and the neck line is draped into the merest suggestion of & cowl. The bodice is extended upward to | form the shoulder straps, and there are \srrm]l bouquets of small flowers in hy- | drangea tones, shading from a lovely greenish blue to a soft blush pink. The | idea of having flowers on both shoul- | ders is rather newer than a one-sided | arrangement, and incidentally this ar- rangement is in line with the new im- portance of shoulders. These bouquets do not. to be sure, actually add to the breadth at the shoulders, but they add interest to the upper part of the bodice, | and in that way accentuate the slender- | ness of the waist and hips. This idea of bouguets on two shoul- | ders is carried out in many of the new | | evening dresses, and if you want to give a new touch to an evening dress of your | own, why not buy two bouquets. Add | & straight girdle of velvet ribbon, ap- | plied with a pleated heading of - the | | dress material. ! Cottage Cheese Dates. Cut half a cupful of stoned dates in halves and steam them until tender enough to plerce easily with a fork When cool, mix lightly with one and one-half cupfuls of cottage cheese. Chill and serve with cream and toasted wafers as a luncheon dish. DAILY DIET RECIPE MOCK HOLLANDAISE. Butter or substitute, three ta- blespoonfuls; flour, two table- spoonfuls: hot water, one cupful; salt, half teaspoonful: lemon juice, three tablespoonfuls; cay- enne pepper, 1-16th teaspoonful and raw egg yolks. two. Makes about one and a half cupfuls. Melt butter or substitute. Stir in flour while butter is over the fire. When well blended add hot water. Cook slowly, stirring con- stantly. When mixture thickens add cayenne and salt. If un- salted vegetable shortening is used, perhaps a little more salt will be needed than if salted but- ter were used. Add lemon juice. Remove from fire and stir in beaten egg yolks. Return to fire and very carefully heat a mo- ment, stirring all the while. Serve with vegetables or fish. Serves six portions. DIET NOTE.

It will be worth while to visit the old | City of Peiping, so we land and go to | an English hotel which is run for for- eign visitors. The prices are high | enough at this hotel, but if we wanted to stay Jong in the city we could rent a e gt Tve very cheaply. We hear about an American woman | who gets along on $75 per month. She | has four Chinese servants. Another | foreign resident spends $60 per month {and has three servants. That sounds | | like a life of ease, but we are told that foreign folk who live two or three years |in China are likely to be “spoiled.” If they return to their own land, they | usually are not fit to do thlnzs for themselves. Of course, there is talk in Peiping about Japanese warfare. The people feel that it wrong for Japanese soldiers to invade Manchuria and to attack Shanghai and other places in East Central China. We ask a Chinese bellboy why he thinks Japan made war on China and he replies: “China no buy Japan goods. want make him buy.” UNCLE RAY.

Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. e e HIS writing is rich in clues to the personality of the writer. Wide-open “o’s,” as shown in the illustration, are suggestive of a home-loving, orderly type. who would find much pleasure and joy in the management of her house. The open “d's” lead us to.the same conclu- sion. She is seemingly most desirous of having her home spick and span, vet pervaded with a coziness which would welcomé guests. | She is apparently on the alert for new and tasty culinary creations, thereby adding to her homemaking abilities. Her friends would surely find her well versed in the fundamentals of dietetics and cookery. Magazines and books on subjects of domestic interest probably find her a devoted reader | She has -very likely gained much helpful information from this reading | would enable her to purchase | .ood and housefurnishings wisely. | Huving learned the various standards | by which to test merchandise, her dol- lars are spent to the best advantage. She is seemingly much interested in children and their problems. Under- nourished and underprivileged chil- dren, especially, arouse her .deepest sympathies. For these little unfortu- nates she probably has often raised funds, thus assisting in giving them a more normal childhood ~Realizing the great need for this work, she has ap- parently brought much enthusiasm lu\ the task. There is a hint in her writing that at times she suffers much from feelings | of depression. By taking more exer- cise, and by finding relaxation in some hobby it would be perhaps_ possible to make these “blue spells” less intense | and of less frequency. It might be that she has taken for granted that no | special efforts are necessary to insure good mental and physical health. Were she to adopt a systematic plan of recre- ation and exercise, the results would be most pleasing.
