WOMEN’S FEATURES. ; THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1935. . WOMEN’S FEA TURES. B—11 August a Good Month to Plan Any Renovation or Decorating for Fall s So‘tly Flattering Crocheted F rock Painting and Concerns Less Rushed At the Present Time Careful List Should Be Made of Things to Be Done Before for Estimates. BY BETSY CASWELL. ‘ HIS is a good time to begin tak- | ing stock of the condition of your house or apartment, with a view to repairs, new decora- tions, etc., for the coming Winter. In general August is a good month for interior painting and papering, | for the concerns handling these matters are not #0 Tushed with work as (}lf}' are apt to be later in September, when the great shifting of homes is at its height. The work- men have more 1 time to discuss | colors and types | of finish — their | interest is keener | and you will find them exceedingly helpful with their constructive sug- | gestions. Before calling in the experts, how- | ever, it is & good idea to take paper | and pencil, go all over your domain | and jot down your observations. Make two lists—one of absolute necessities and the other of things you would | like to have done, providing the budget can stand the strain. Remember the sad fact that a little renovating in a room may have the | effect of emphasizing the shabbiness | of the unretouched part. One new piece of furniture may make the other #ofas and chairs looks dingy and worn, | Care must, therefore, be taken not to add too bright a cover or too glar- | ingly new curtains, if you cannot | afford to do the room over in its en- | tirety. } IS g | A N OLD rug that is not necessarily worn, but has faded in spots, may be dyed at a nominal cost. and usually very successfully, if black or a dark color is chosen. A rug orig-| inally of a dark shade may be re-| dipped in its own hue and emerges | fresh and new looking for little more | than the price of ordinary cleaning. | To completely change the aspect of the room, try Venetian blinds. They are, of course, higher in price than the average glass curtain, but endure for years, and lend & diffused light and charming appearance that i¢ worth the extra cash. Another| feature of these shades is the fact that with them the draperies do not have to be wide enough to pull across the entire window at night. and thus less material is used in their con- struction. The blinds are such a decorative asset in themselves that it is not necessaryv to hide them from view after the lamps are lit.!| You may have them in colors to match the walls, or to contrast with them, or in silver or white, with matching or contrasting bands, as you wish. Consult a reliable shop for sugges-| tions and estimates before going blindly into the subject. | * x ¥ ¥ TH:E new vogue for ceilings that ex- actly match the walls of the| room in shade is becoming more and more popular, and eliminates an ad- ditional batch of color, creating a more spacious atmosphere. Experts say that in general rooms will appear | larger when done all in one color, | but with certain tyes of paneling and | molding a lovely effect may be achieved by the skillful use of con- trasting tones. Restraint is in order here, however, for too much contrast will inevitably produce a “gingerbread"” appearance, which is far from at- tractive. For that dark corner that has al- ways seemed so dreary and impossible of improvement, a large mirror may | form the perfect solution. Reflecting the other angles of the room, it brings life and second-hand light to the otherwise dead wall, and seems to en- | large your room almost miraculously. | A plain mirror, either straight panel shape or rounded at the top, with no frame, may be riveted to the wall with crystal rosettes. Two such pan- | els, placed at right angles to each other in the corner, give the look of | & mirror screen and make a delightful | Cook’s Corner BY MRS. ALEXANDER GEORGE.

A clever carpenter can usually strip them of all extraneous decoration, extra columns and so forth, and leave just the simple, classic shelf over the fireplace. If, for construction reasons, this is not possible, the entire mantel may be removed, the fireplace out- lined at the proper distance with strips of molding and the whole | painted to match the rest of the walls, leaving & smooth, simple effect espe- cially charming in & small room. If you still keep the mantel, don't overburden it with ornaments and large, unwieldly pieces. Usually three items are enough—a pair of matching vases, figures or lamps at each end and one harmonizing bit in the center. A mirror or large picture is the best choice for the wall over the fireplace, unless, of course, it is in a game room. where stuffed heads, mounted fish or antique weapons may be hung. * ox %k % EFORE the rugs go down for the Winter have your floors well cleaned and polished. They have probably had hard wear during the Summer months and will need a good conditioning. They will repay you for this treatment by looking their | loveliest with little attention all through the rest of the season. Washing painted walls and wood- work with a good waterless paint cleanser will often bring & pleasant surprise in the discovery that most of the trouble was only dirt and that the area does not have to be repainted at all. This is particularly true of banister spindles—always a tedious and expensive job at best. Radiators also are apt to respond kindly to the scrubbing system and often come out wonderfully bright and fresh. Curtains and wallpapers will have to be taken up at another time as space for today is about gone!

Permanent Wave Waits In Illness Restoration of Full Vigor Needed by Hair and Scalp. BY LOIS LEEDS. EAR MISS LEEDS: I have been sick for 12 weeks and, now thld‘ I am getting better, I would like to | get a permanent, but my hair is falling terribly. My hair is shoulder length and I -have been advised to cut it. Do you think I should cut it? Should I get a permanent wave now or wait until it stops falling? I am 16 years old. I part my hair on the left side. I have shiny black hair, dark brown eyes, a rather long nose | and a medium complexion. I am five feet two inches tall. What is the cor- rect weight for my height and age? What colors are becoming to me? CATHERINE. Answer—Do not have the perma- nent wave until your hair and scalp are in better condition. Very often after and iliness the hair falls out quite badly, but it is nothing to be alarmed about. Give it a few special scalp treatments or have your hair- dresser give them. Massage the scalp | with the tips of the fingers for several minutes every night and morning. Brush the hair thoroughly with a clean hair brush with fairly long bristles. Wipe the brush on a towel | and brush again. Wash your hair- brush regularly. Mix equal parts of castor oil, olive oil and bay rum and apply with small pad of absorbent cotton to scalp. Divide the hair into strands and apply the oil evenly. Leave it on overnight. . In the morning wash the hair with a mild liquid shampoo. Rinse well in several waters., A bath spray is useful for rinsing the hair. Dry be- tween warm towels; finish drying in the sun. I do not advise you to have your hair cut unless it is split at the ends, then you could have an inch or two cut off. Hair of this length can be dressed in several ways and look chic. As your health in general im- proves 50 will your hair health; they are closely related. So build your general health by wise diet, plenty of sleep and fresh air and sunshine. The left side part coiffure is suitable for your type; the back hair may be drawn back and a few waves or curls put in by rolling it up on curlers or in paper. The average weight for your age and height is between 106 and 116 pounds. You will find blues, greens and browns becoming for you. Mustard, amber, pale yellow, orchid, ivory, blue-gray, dark reds are good also. Have the permanent put in later. LOIS LEEDS. (Copyrieht. 1935.) The Old Gardener Says: Sulphur is the most valuable material that has been found for preventing and curing mildew. Used dry in a bellows or powder gun, it can be distributed readily over roses, delphiniums, phlox and other plants on which mil- dew commonly appears. Care must be taken, however, to make the applications thorough. When mixed with arsenate of lead at the rate of nine parts sulphur to one of the poison, it is also an efficient control of black spot on roses. Moreover, sulphur is use- ful for red spider, an almost in- finitesimal insect which infests evergreens, but can be used most advantageously when mixed with an equal part of dry tobacco dust.

Obstinacy Eating Made Natural to Young Member of Household. BY ANGELO PATRL AROLD had refused to eat his meals with any promptness for some time and his mother was about | worn out. He would sit and look at his cereal for an hour without touch- ing it. When his mot put a spoon- ful in his mouth he hcid it there as the matter, and the more he considered the less he | liked the“idea. After holding it for 15 minutes he spat it out on the plate. | His mother spanked Lim. But he ate | no cereal. Lunch time he looksd gloomily at his cup of soup. It was delicious white soup, the kind he liked; but his | gloom did not lessen at the sight of | it nor did he pick up his spoon. His | mother said: “That's your own soup, made especially for you. You be &/ good boy and eat it all and I'll take you to the park.” “I don't like soup.” “Why, yes you do. Now don't be Eat your soup. Be & good boy. I'll take you out for a good | time this afternoon if you eat your soup.” “I don't like it. I can't eat it.” ‘Wearily his mother fed him & spoon- | He let it trickle down his chin with his napkin. For an hour his| mother sat beside him, alternately | cosxing and threatening., and at last msnaged to empty the cup. 1 Next day, when he was called for lunch, Harold said, “I don't want any.” His mother said nothing. She | picked him up and sat him down hard | in Kis chair so that his teeth clicked, | and said You're going to eat your lunch or I'm going to know the rea- son why. Now you eat!” Little Hsarold put 2p the stiffest fight of his career. Ile did not eat that lunch, although his mother spanked him often and thoroughly. He went to bed crying and got up in the same mood. He was not going to eat. Mother gave up and went to bed with a sick headache. Father, alarmed upon finding his child in tears and temper and his wife {il in bed, called for help. Dr. Swinton lis- tered to the story and said: “Got anybody*who would take care of him | for about three weeks? Some rela- tive who likes him and won't baby him?>" | “Aunt Claire might take him, | but—" | “He must go out of the house and away from you and learn all over again what eating m:ans. If Claire will take him and make no fuss about | his eating, he will eat when he is hun- | gry. He has set himse!f against eating because you have ordered him to eat. He won't give in, and trying to force him won't help the situation. He has to learn to eat as a matter of course. He cannot learn that here with you because he has learned that eating is a fighting matter. You want your | nd he wants his.” | Aunt Claire took him home with her She did not serve supper until | later than usual. They walked about the garden and looked in the barn,| ©nd then had tea. Nobody mentioned eating. They just weut to the busi- ness of the table, talking, laughing. They iggored the small guest who was | calmly eating bread and milk out of a blue bowl. When h= got home he fcund that his mother had forgotten ahout his eating and rever mentioned .. She left him to serve himself while she talked happily to father about the circus. | (Copyright. 1935.) Initial Step| Of Chewing BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. NOWADAYB we are inclined to smile at the idea of Fletcher that every bite of food should be chewed | about 30 times before it is allowed to | ga down into the stomach. | In these days when foods are soft and almost melt in the mouth there | is not the same need for chewing. Nevertheless, your dentist will tell| you that it is soft foods—lack of | chewing which causes & poor circu- | lation of the blood in the gums—that | are a great factor in causing pyorrhea. And your doctor will tell you that lack of chewing. the food is the cause of a great many cases of indigestion and stomach distress. ITow, no one wants to sit and count the number of chews he gives each bite of food, as it would be something very odd to behold, but there is no question that most of us should chew our food more. The breaking down of the food into smell particles is not the most impor- tant job done by chewing; it is the mixing of the food ith the saliva (the digestive juice in the mouth) that means most in helping the proper absorption and digestion of food. Nutrition experts inform us that starch foods make up about two-thirds of all the foods we eat. This menas, then, that the digestion of starches is necessary to health. If starches are not digested properly the person is likely to have much discomfort and distress. The starch foods are sugar, bread, potatoes, all the cereals and break- fast foods, macaroni, cakes, pastries, puddings, sirups, candy, jams, jellies and fru'.s, Now, the first start in the digestion of starch foods takes place in the mouth, here the ferment—ptyalin— in the saliva turns the starch into sugar. By chewing the food a few times, this ferment gets a chance to mix with the starch food and convert it into sugar. Sugar is quickly ab- sorbed into the blood and gives imme- diate heat and energy. As nothing happens to the starch when it reaches -the stomach, any Ik of the mouth digestive juice means the accumulation of undigested starchcs in the stomach. ‘l.is gives rise to & sense of fullness or heaviness and much discomfort. This distress and discomfort may be avoided in most cases if we will re- member to chew the food long enough to get the saliva or mouth juice well mixed with our starch foods.

VEN tailored frocks have be- come a shade more feminine this season. Just the subtle cut of a sleeve, a trifle fuller than last year, or the details of yoke or collar, less uncomprisingly plain, are details which indicate the return of a softer, more flattering mode. Dresses for active sports, and of course, tweeds, or things designed primarily for the country, may be as severe as you wish; but in town, the silhouette is softer and more gracious, in simple daytime frocks, as well as the more important creations de- signed for afternoon or evening. ‘Today’s design is & good example of what all the foregoing chatter is about. You see how simple and trim the frock is. But look at the sleeve! It is quite big at the top, cut so that it sticks out in a little point. And the blouse, obviously of the shirt- waist type, has a rounded yoke, which extends down over the shoulder-line. The collar is round, Ie‘uu the neckline is filled in with a scarf, looped just once, in the fashion of an ascot. The skirt has pleats at the sides, but is molded over the hips.

Is Approved ‘At Wedding Concert Program Is; Discussed as One Possibility. | BY EMILY POST. | “T)EAR MRS. POST: A while ago you wrote in your column that a concert program is entirely out of question at a wedding reception. I am sure there are hundreds of readers who do not agree with you. “I am speaking of people like those in our own parish. We neither dance, drink nor smoke. Aften the wedding ceremony, which we consider very sacred, we, too, have receptions at which a friend acts as toastmaster, and then, after congratulating the bridal couple, there are speeches and the bride’s favorite songs are sung by one or another of her dear friends, while often an excellent reader gives selections. It never seems program- like! We do not feel that any of this’ | is out of place. Perhaps you have never attended a wedding of this type, hence your opinion. | | “Also you wrote that the bridal | party should not smile while walking up the aisle to the altar. Don't you think most of the people like to see | a bridegroom smiling as he waits for his bride? If he does not, folks think he looks scared. I agree with you | in that the bridal party should not | smile and bow to friends, but why not make the wedding & pl | —and wear a smile? After all, know- ing you'll be looked over is enough to | make you tense—a little smile will put | you at ease.” Answer—First of all, let me say that even if our descriptions differ in a | few details, T cannot’see that we dis- | agreé very seriously. Certainly I can never have written that dancing, | drinking and smoking are essential wedding requirements. At a guess, I would say that there is dancing at about 1 fashionable wedding in 50. People do drink the health of the bride and bridegroom in champagne perhaps—or quite as likely in fruit cup. As for smoking, some people always do everywhere, others never do any- where. It it is natural for the bridegroom to smile as he watches his bride ap- proach, that is one thing, but I would certainly not advise him to think about whether his expression is smil- ing or serious. On the other hand, as I have writ- ten before, the supreme beauty of a the faces of the bride and bridegroom | —so that agrees with you. Moreover, I think that, af a small wedding break- fast or supper, a few songs, sung by every one at the table, might be very | jolly. But I confess I can not agree | that I like the idea of listening to| readings, nor to solos or speeches. | I think that people should be free to walk about and talk to each other as at every friendly gathering, and that any attention exacted of them collectively should be very brief. On the other hand, I should abhor a danc- ing, drinking, smoking wedding. So again it seems to me that we agree. (Copyright, 1835.) New Lames. Lame glitters in new guises in the Fall fabrics.

How can | I make her feel toward me asehe did before I treated her so badly? ANOTHER FOOL. Answer: “Well, brother, you can't. The trouble with our foolishness is that we can never undo it. We have to go on paying for it as long as we live. We may repent it in bitterness and tears, but not all the water that flows from | our eyes can wipe out the score against us. | We talk a lot of nonsense about for- | giving and forgetting, but in reality neither is possible. We think we can | betray those who love us, that we can trample their pride in the dust, that we can stab them with cruel speeches, that we can neglect them, that we can show ourselves mean and selfish and untrustworthy and then, when we have got over our temporary infatuation or feel in a good humor again or need their help in some way, we can say that we are sorry, and that those we have wronged will immediately become oblivious to our offenses against them and restore us to our old place in their esteem. ‘ x> & | UT it never happens. It cannot happen any more than you can tread a rose in the dust and makes its crushed and bruised petals whole again, or than you can shatter a vase and make it perfect again. What is| done, is done, and cannot be changed. Men are partieularly strong in their faith in tRe repentance theory as ap- | plied to their wives. They think that when they are tired of philandering that their wives should welcome them back home with a brass band, and promptly forgive and forget all the in- | dignities to which they have been sub- | jected. Why they expect this miracle to take place and for a woman to be | able to trust & man who has shown himself ungrustwortny, and to admire and respect one who has shown himself ! so weak that any adventuress could take him in, is beyond explanation. It is simply one of the things about men that no woman ever understands. Of course, many women do make the gesture of pretending to forgive and forget because it saves their faces and puts the relationship between them and their recreant spouses on a more agreeable basis, but deep down in their hearts wives never forgive their hus- bands’' infidelities and they never, never forget, no matter how deeply they bury their wrongs in silence. The moral of all of which is that if a man wishes to keep his wife's love he must never throw it away. x x k * DEAR DOROTHY DIX—I would never contemplate marrying & man in moderate circumstances for I have had enough drudgery in my life. I could never settle down into being & man’s scullery maid. My life has been too active. A woman can learn to love any man who is worth his salt and has the essential sugar in his pocket. Just what are your reactions to the logical calculations of 8 MODERN MISS. Answer: It has been my observation that logic fiies out of the window when love comes knocking at the door, and that the most carefully laid plans of girls go haywire when some personable vouth comes whistling down the street and beckons them to follow. Of nothing am I more firmly con- vinced than that you cannot love to order. You can admire and respect a man for his good qualities, but it won't raise your temperature or send s single quiver up and down your spine to know that he is kind to his mother and has money in the bank. The something that makes you palpi- tate and thrill and that causes some one partifular man to be the whole universe to you has nothing whatever to do with his virtues, or his ability to support you in the style in whica you desire to live. * x X % | or COURSE. much is to be said for | the sensible marriage, the mar- riage that is based on reason and not on sentiment. Undoubtedly those who pick out their mates with their heads instead of their hearts, and who select | a wife or a husband because he or she belongs to the right social set or has money or because he or she is indus- trious and thrifty and a good man- ager may generally count on a quiet | and placid existence and keeping out | of the divorce court. Provided, of | course, that after a while they do not | and long for cake. And it is always an ever-present danger, that after a while the mar- riage that has no love in it will go flat and that the man and woman who thought that they were loveproof will find some other’ woman or man with whom they fall wildly, desperately, | hopelessly in love. For Cupid has & way of avenging himself upon those who mock him. And there is still another danger when you marry for money, and that is you may lose the money and then you have nothing. But dont kid yourself into thinking that you can love to order. It can’t be done. Other- wise there would be fewer mismated people than there are. * % X X ]DEAR DOROTHY DIX: boy of 19.

Slack | the other woman sneered at her and | Off in your atteptions. Treat her coolly. That will, in a way, prepare her for the knowledge that you have grown tired of her. But if the girl reaily loves you there isn't any painless way of ridding yourself of her, Breaking a heart always hurts. = UT of one think I am very sure, and that is that the kindest thing is to end the affair as soon as possible. Don’t let the girl go on in a fool's paradise, believing in your love when it is dead, thinking that you enjoy being with her when she bores you, building her hopes upon you when they can never come to uition. The cruelest thing a man ever does is to marry a woman whom he has ceased to love, Better far the disap- pointment of a broken engagement than the tragedy of a marriage in which the wife knows that is nothing but a sense of duty and honor to her husband. And there is this consolation for you, that in the 'teens hearts heal al- most over night, and probably the girl can forget you as easily as you will forget her.

N A shady veranda, or under the trees, or by an open window—a of these make a good supper place hot weather. Certainly they are bet- ter than the dining room. Plan the meal as you would for a picnie far away from home, but with this advan- tage: the prepared foods such as sal- ads, beverages, frozen desserts and warm dishes can come directly from the kitchen. On a small table or wheelcart put napkins, salt, pepper and sugar glasses, piles of plates, etc. Then at serving time carry out the food on a large tray. Have a menu that re- quires only one plate per person For the hot dish use a covered c: serole or baking dish to keep the foo warm; an electric grill is also useful Making bread and butter sandwiches ahead of time may be a little more work, but it simplifies service. | Sardines. Deviled Ham. Cheese. Summer Sausage. Sliced Tomatoes | Potato Salad. Sandwiches | Spiced Gherkins. Ginger Ale. | Ice Cream. Nut Cake. From the small boy up, every one likes picnic food. This menu offers several varieties, which can be served | on a large tray, and each person can put into his bread and butter sand- wich what he likes most. Cold Meats. Potato Chips. Tomatoes Stuffed with Peas and Corn Chopped Sweet Relish. Sandwiches Chocolate Blanc Mange with Marshmallow Sauce, Chilled Grapefruit. For cold meat use beef, ham, tongue chicken, jellied meat, meat loaf, Sum- mer sausage or bologna. Smoked fish, kipper snacks and sardines offer appetizing additions. The stuffed to- matoes served on lettuce with dressing make the salad. Vegetable Salad with Crisp Bacon Deviled Eggs. Potted Beef Sandwiches Pimiento Olives. Iced Tea. | Fruit Jelly Sponge. Cookies. For the vegetable salad use cucum- | bers, peas and beets with boiled dress- | ing. Over the top have crushed or diced crisp bacon. Add whipped cream or beaten egg white to a prepared jelly powder to make the sponge. Creamed Chicken, Rice and Peas Watercress and Cream Cheese Sand- | wiches. | Sliced Tomatoes. Olives. Watermelon. Iced Chocolate. Sponge Cake, | The hot creamed chicken can be as highly seasoned as one likes, to serve as the main part of the supper. | Hamburg and Spaghetti Casserole | Cabbage Salad Sandwiches, Radishes. Mustard Pickles Frozen Fruit. Rich Cookies. Iced Coffee. For the casserole dish make ham- | burg balls the size of walnuts, brown ! all over in a pan, add canned spa- ghetti with cheese and tomato sauce and heat well. For the sandwiches add very finely chopped cabbage and green pepper to a boiled dressing; use whole wheat bread. (Copyright, Iam a °© ing too when you discover the new | “Certain-Safe” Modess.
