Boleros as Jackets or Trimming
BY MARY MARSHALL
One of the newer of the influential
French dressmakers hit upon the idea
of making bolero coats for her eve
ning frocks this Autumn. But these
-?re real bolero coats, not boleros in
street only, as is quite often the case.
The little boleros in question nmy be
taken off and put on quite easily.
Y
NOT A REAL BOLERO. BUT THE
NEW “BOLERO EFFECT’* IS
FEATURED IN THIS FROCK OF
BLUE REP TRIMMED WITH
GREEN AND RED METALLIC
BANDS ANS GREEN BUTTONS.
With the bolero on, a frock becomes
quite suitable and comfortable for res
taurant or theater. Taken off, it is
most appropriate for dancing or other
general evening wear when a thinner
frock is required.
Usually, of course, the bolero of the

Rocking chairs are coming back! A
few years ago they were considered
not at all the thing—quite Impossible,
in fact. But we have learned much
since then. We have ventured far

furniture of many lands, and now we
have returned to the furniture of our
native land with broad views. We have
discovered that the rocking chair, al
most our only contribution to furni
ture design, is quaintly alluring by
virtue of its very homeliness.
The rocking chairs one Rees in the
smart furniture shops today usually
have slip covers like this. They re
semble nice old ladles, with their sedate
movements and air of quiet content
ment. When they rock gently their
ruffled skirts flutter back and forth in
the most comfortable way imaginable.
HOW IT STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
“Crescent.”
When we hear this word used the
imagination flits naturally to the
crescent moon. And it is, of course,
with reference to the new moon that
it is most fainiliar in common
speech. However, the word is cor
rectly used with reference to any
thing that is of the shape of the new’
moon. The crescent, incidentally, has
been the national emblem of the
Turkish empire.
Strangely, the origin of the word
has no reference to the crescent’s
curve, nothing of which ah inkling
might be found in the syllables of
the word. For “crescent,” derived
from the Latin “crescere,” means
simply to increase! And it is from
the circumstances that the new
moon increases until the full orb Is
reached, growing larger with each
passing night, that it was called, in
early times, “crescent,” the word
taking its place in our language for
anything of the same shape.

season is something that is part and
paroel of the gown or coat to which
it belongs. In short, it Is merely a
“bolero effect. *’ Sometimes the sug
gestion Is only slight. The sketch
shows a frock of which this is true.
It Is of blue reps trimmed with green
and red metallic bands and green but
tons. Sometimes, as here, the bolero
Is suggested only at the front. Some
times It is suggested only at the back.
This Is the case In a certain smart
little frock seen among Premet's Au
tumn things. Then, too, the bolero
appears to have been put on in con
ventional manner, with the opening In
the front, and sometimes It is put on
with the opening at the back, giving a
plain unbroken line across the front.
Germaine of Praia is the author of a
clever little frock of beige satin, with
plain short skirt, long, close-fitting
sleeves and a bodice that appears to
he formed by a bolero Jacket put on
backward. The opening comes at the
back. Beneath the bolero’ there is a
wide belt of deep tan velvet fastened
at the front with metal buckles, and
there is a high crush collar of this
same velvet.
The bolero Is a fashion that Is usu
ally looked upon as especially suitable
to the very young woman. But It
really is a device that may be most
flattering to older women. The broad-’
shouldered, wide-hipped, yet angular
woman—who is so plentifully repre
sented In this country—has never ap
peared at her best until she has worn
a frock with an honest and truly bo
lero, or with what is often just as In
teresting—a "bolero effect.”

My Neighbor Says:
If the surface of your stove *
looks rough it Is probably due
to an accumulation of etove
blackinfr. Sand paper rubbed
over the surface will make it as
smooth as when new.
To remove a fresh grease spot
. on a rug cover the spot with
blotting paper, then press with
a hot iron. Cover the spot with
magnesia, let It remain for 24
hours, then brush off.
When making bread and but
ter pudding sprinkle each slice
of bread and butter with des
iccated cocoanut instead of cur
rants and strew some on the
top. This will make a change
from the ordinary pudding and
will be found very tasty.
When baking potatoes cut a
snip from the end of each. This
will let out the moisture and
make them mealy.
In thickening cream soup al
low a tablespoon each of butter

After the washing is finished
unscrew the wringing machine

Mint.
Breathing the very spirit of things
old fashioned are the mint patches
one may find these days around old
farmyards. In quaint Georgetown
gardens, too, and in the borders of
old-time Alexandria flower beds, one
comes on the traditional mint plants.
when other flowers are fading
and few perfumes make lovely the
air except the bitter-sweet aroma of
marigold, the fresh, clean, penetrating
odor of the mint is thrown abroad.
Whenever you go a-hiking these
clear, sweet Autumn days and you
come to an old Maryland or Virginia
spring-house, watch for a bed of
water mint in the tiny trickle leading
from the little stone cavern. If you
lean down to drink, the water may
even have a faint minty fragrance, as
•lose to a mint julep as you are sup
posed to get, these days.
Even the flowers of mint have some
thing magical about them. They are
curiously two-llppAi, ever a sign of a
highly-evolved plant family, for the
lower lip provides d. landing stage for
insects, while the beautiful lilacs and
purples of the flowers themselves are
a lure to visiting winged things. The
deep, narrow- throat of the flower
makes the insect work for the nectar
that it gets, and also traps him into
performing the work of carrying
pollen from one flower to another.
Grovi(j§g mint commercially is now
becoming a regular industry in this
country. The Department of Agricul
ture has imported seeds and plants
of the finest strains of spearmint and
this is being raised in many States
of the middle latitudes, especially
Kentucky. As a field crop it makes
a lovely show at blooming time.
And when we think of mint there
comes inevitably to mind the other
fragrant plants of this beautiful fam
ily—lavender, that our grandmothers
loved so; thyme, that the Greeks made
famous, and cltronella, proof against
mosquitoes. It is sometimes asserted
that mosquitoes will not come where
citronella grows, but this is not true.
Use very ripe, mellow, pears or
cooked pears. Cut the pears into small
pieces. For eight glasses take about I
four tablespoonfuls of sliced ginger
root, eight tablespoonfuls of sirup
from the ginger jar and three table
spoonfuls of lemon juice. Add a very
little powdered sugar and mix care
fully. Make very cold and serve in
cocktail glasses as the first course at
luncheon or dinner. Do not use too

After It’s All Over.
This business of a broken-off love
affair creates difficulty in more ways
than one. Not only is there a ques
tion of broken hearts to Is* mended —a
sad enough matter by itself —but there
is the somewhat strained situation
which always results when two young
people in the same set come to a defi
nite parting of the ways.
Gladys writes to tell me of a tragic
finale to four years of “what almost
amounted to engagement,” and asks
how she shall treat the gay young
Lothario who so rudely broke her
heart, and whom she is forced to meet
in the company of other girls two or
three times a week.
Sometimes she has to play bridge
with him; very often at a private
dance she finds it difficult to escape
being his dancing partner. And since
his part in the recent love affair was
most discreditable, she wonders
whether she's being undignified in
continuing on friendly terms with
him.
Well, really. Gladys, you haven't
much choice in the matter. If you’re
cold and distant to this erstwhile
sweetheart of yours, the gossips will
have food for conversation and you
won’t appear in a very dignified posi
tion. Also, he'll liave the extreme
satisfaction of knowing you to be
rather upset over his desertion.
Being the sort of small-minded per
son he undoubtedly is, he’ll take a
mean sort of pleasure in hinting care
lessly to other girls that “Gladys is
darn peeved over the while thing; she
w-on’t even speak to me. Gee, some
girls have no sense of humor.!’
in order to avoid that sort of thing.
Gladys, you’ve got to keep up a stiff
upper lip and maintain a determinedly
friendly attitude.
Keep up as light and bantering con
versation as you can manage when
you’re left alone with the faithless
one.
Don’t ever go In for reminiscences
such as: “Don't you remember, Jerry,
how we used to like to go to the B.
Hotel every Friday night?” or “Didn’t
we use to enjoy those National
dances? They were the greatest fun.’’
Try to keep the»past from your
mind, and he sure to keep it from
your conversation.
Never let yourself hope that per
haps if you’re just the least little bit
sentimental he'll be swayed enough in
his emotions to return to you again.
The chances are a hundred to one
against it. If you must meet him,
meet him in friendly spirit with your
head up and a persistent smile—but
don’t overdo it.
The lot of a jilted girl Is a hard
one—but her courage and her pride
may save her from absolute humilia
tion.
After it's all over, don't let him
guess that you even remember there
was a love affair. That’s the spirit.

Asthmatic Wheezes.
A young business woman went to a
country inn for her vacation. Sev
eral dogs had the run of the house.
Within 48 hours the young woman
was so ill of asthma that it was neces
sary to take her home to her physi
cian. In the city she quickly recov-!
ered. Her physician saw no reason
why she should not return to the
country for her vacation. She went;
back to the inn. Everybody welcomed
her. including the dogs. Within a few
days the asthma recurred. Again she
was carried home, this time to remain
in bed a month. After that she was
able to visit’ another resort in the
country, where she regained her usual
good health.. There- were no dogs in
this second country place. No one
thought of that at the time, however.
Months afterward this business
woman built herself a country home
near the ocean, and there she thrived,
though she occasionally got off a few
wheezes. Her sister happened to be
present on one such occasion, and
sister wondered whether a dog could
have anything to do with it. for she
had noticed that the wheezing usually
occurred when a neighbor's dog had
visited the cottage.
This theory of sister’s set every
body thinking, and then it was re
called that every remembered asth
matic seizure had occurred soon after
association with a dog. This was
considered as of academic interest
only, until one day the family stop
ped at a roadhouse for dinner. There
the luckless woman had a moderate
attack of the old asthma. One of the
party remaked that If she did not
know- better she would assume there
was a dog on the premises. There
was apparently no dog—until a party
arose from a nearby table and left
the oroom followed by their dog, which
had been lying quietly under the
table.
The plot thickens and the story
ends here.
Not a few cases of spasmodic or
bronchial asthma are caused by eman
tions (danger) from dogs, cats, fowls,
parrots, canaries, mice, horses and
other animals whose emanations (dan

RACIAL ORlGlN—German.
SOURCE—A characteristic.
German family names, like English,
were sometimes based upon the local
ity in which the first bearers dwelt,
sometimes upon the given names of
their parents, and sometimes upon
personal peculiarities or characteris
tics which were sufficient for identifi
cation in the minds of their neighbors
when mentioned in connection with
the given name. For family names de
veloped in Germany, as in England,
simply because the population was
growing so that it was not enough to
mention a man's given name to make
clear who was being spoken about.
The family names in this group
were in the first instance merely de
scriptice surnames, with a meaning
the same as the English "merry” or
"Joyful.” Incidentally it might be
mentioned that both the German
"Itch” and the English ending "ly,”
when analyzed and traced back phtlo
loglcally, had an original meaning of
"like.” "Merry” is simply a contrac
tion. through centuries of the Anglo-
Saxon equivalent, for “mirthlike.” The
first Froelichs received such names as
"Hans the Merry” to distinguish them
probably from “Hans the Gloomy” or
"Hans the Redheaded.”

Are your feet always so comfort

you can to make them so. for life is
not worth living if your feet ache.

If for only one visit and watch how
lie treats the feet. Do not be afraid
to ask questions for you want to take
care of your feet in as professional
a manner as possible. If you can
not see a chiropodist, follow these
directions:
Soak the feet In warm soapy water
for 15 minutes. With a rough towel,
rub off all callous spots, and rub them
with cold cream to soften the skin.
As soon as you remove the feet from
the water, place little wads of wet
cotton over the corns to keep them
soft until you are ready to shave
them off.
Buy a corn knife and very, very
carefully shave ofT the horny, top
layers of-the corns, being very careful
not to cut the live flesh. The corns
will soak and swell, so this shaving
is not hard. Should you cut the skin
and draw blood, touch the place with
an antiseptic and bind up with clean
cotton: on no account must dirt get
into such a cut. One chiropodist told
me that drawing a little blood from
a sore corn is a good thing, the blood
being bad. But I don’t advise you
to cut yourself on purpose.
Keep a pad of cotton over a shaved
corn and keep the skin moist with
oil or cold cream for some days. The
corn will come back if the shoes go
on rubbing in the same place; other
wise, occasional shaving should cure
