WOMAN'S PAGE. NANCY PAGE Keeps as Young as Her Muscles. * BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy chuckled over the little para graph which read like this: “Modem woman’s fondest wish Is to be weighed and found Wanting.” She was not afraid of growing portly or stodgy, but she knew she must keep her muscles flexible if she wanted to look young, to carry herself well and to be a credit to her ownself. All her life she had eaten properly, avoiding too many starches and fats. She ate many green vege tables. which assisted elimination and kept her skin free from blemishes. But she also the need for ex ercise. Here is one of her pet ways of taking off the little lump of fat at the Waistline on each hip in the back. She stood absolutely straight, hold ing onto her dressing table. She swung the leg out straight without bending at waistline or shoulder. Stretch leg 10 times. Repeat with Other leg, stretching this out 10 times, s Jilt also. Now stretch leg, still keeping knee straight, to back 10 times. Repeat with other leg. Nancy found that this exercise could be done by lying on floor on her side, resting on one elbow. She kicked leg out and up, always using force and keeping knee straight. Don’t overdo the exercise at first. Os Course, Nancy had learned to take this •autlon in all her gymnastic work. If you are Interested in redueinc as veil as exercising. write to Nancy Page, care of this paper. Inclosing a stamped, self-ad dressed envelope, asking for her leaflet on reducing. FOOD PROBLEMS BY SALLY MONHOE. A good fruit punch for evening re freshment ought not to be too sweet. For usually the rooms are rather warm and the punch is needed to quench the ithirst. So remember that it is better to .have it a little too tart for those with a sweet tooth than too sweet for most of the guests. Lemon Juice is the foundation of most fruit punches. It should be strained. Orange juice may be added. Grape Juice should be added mod erately, for it quickly obliterates other flavors. Just before serving you can, if you like the flavor, add ginger ale. It gives a little tang and sparkle to the beverage. The Juice of canned pineapple and the liquid from maraschino cherries also may be added. All of them give pleasant flavor. Think of the color as well as the flavor. If you want to keep a clear, light punch, then don’t add grape juice. If you want a dark punch, use the grapejuice with a more lavish hand. um Hgß' ...Hi m - - s um Jfl "'•JP mmm JH '■ > • - ■■■!

VANISHING CREAM Slough'- d nCi NEW YORK MEM PHI/ - I HISTORIC JILTINGS I Girl Loved bv John Paul Jones Married Patrick Henry While Former Was at Sea. BY J. P. GLASS. “IT WAS THEN THAT HE WAS INTRODUCED TO THE BEAUTIFUL MISS DOROTHEA SPOTTSWOOD DANDRIDGE.” When John Paul Jones was In France, enjoying the admiration which his naval exploits had won, a Mademoi selle de Menon asked him if he ever had been wounded. He replied: “Never on the sea, mademoiselle, but on land I have been bled by arrows which were never launched by the English.” It was in 1775, while Jones was a companion of Dr. John K. Read on his estate in Hanover County, Va„ that he was pierced by the worst of the arrows to which he so romantically alluded in his reply to Mile de Menon. It was then that he was introduced to the beautiful Miss Dorothea Spotts wood Dandridge, daughter of Nathaniel West Dandridge, a former captain in the British navy, a cousin of Martha Washington, and a descendant of the distinguished Gov. Spottswood of Vir ginia. She was 19, Jones was 28. He had not yet achieved any of the glory that was *to come to him, being only an ordinary sea captain. But he was a man of tremendous magnetism and charming address. They fell in love. This was a sad affair for John Paul Jones. Miss Dandridge’s family was rich and proud. He, after all, was a mere adventurer of the seas. A proud man like Jones could only have entered Into an engagement after telling the truth about himself. That Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN. We heard last evening a story about value that will Interest woman and shopkeeper alike. It is suggestive if It is not educational. A woman had a ring which she liked no longer and she wished to trade it in and buy a new ring. • She was desirous of two things. She wished to get In exchange the full value of her own ring and she wished to pay a fair price for the new one. She realized that it was possible something might be added to the price of the new one if the allowance on her own ring was too generous. Being of a methodical nature, she first secured an appraisal on her ring. It was said to be worth $25, Then she went shopping. She tried a few jewelers, and was of fered various rings at various prices. The value put on her ring seemed to vary directly with the price put on the rings she wished to buy. At last she came to a jeweler who told her to keep her ring in her bag until she had selected the ring she would like to buy instead. She did as he requested, and finally selected a ring in his tray worth SIOO. She then withdrew form her purse her own ring, and the Jeweler said he would allow her S2O on it. She pretended not to be attracted by his offer, mentioning to him that others had offered up to SSO if she traded it In. The jeweler smiled. He said; “That’s why I asked you not to show me your ring before you found a new one to your liking. I did not base my ap praisal on the purchase price. I based it on your ring’s true value.” “But the other ring was white gold, and the stone was the same,” the woman complained, “and so I don’t see how I could be deceived.” “It wasn’t a case of deceit, said the r ** Watch the children smile! # SEE HOW delighted the children There are many ways to serve are when they have Kellogg’s Rice Krispies.

P. C„ WEDNESDAY. JUNE 11, 1930. truth was painful. His origin was humble and obscure; his real name was not John Paul Jones, but John Paul; he had been engaged In the slave trade; he had served aboard a pirate ship, and once, during the mutiny, he had killed a sailor —run him through with his sword. What story was this to tell a young and carefully reared daughter of the Virginia aristocracy? The Colonies’ war with England opened away out. He could enter the American Navy and win for himself sufficient glory to outweigh all his past. Eagerly he seized the opportunity to fight in the cause of liberty. Did Dorothea Dandridge give him any promise to wait for him? We do not know. But in 1778, just when John Paul Jones was at the height of his most glorious feats, he received tragic news in a letter from Dr. Read, answering an epistle In which Jones had declared his expectation of pur chasing an estate In Virginia. “Miss Dandridge is no more,” Dr. Read wrote; “that Is, she a few months ago gave herself Into the arms of Pat rick Henry.” Jones never again had a serious love affair. In the meantime Dorothea bore Patrick Henry nine children. She sur vived both him and John Paul Jones many years. (Copyright, 1*30.) Jewler, “it is human nature to value your own possessions more highly than they are worth. The quality of gold and stone requires expert Judgment, that is why you should buy from a reputable Jewler.” And that is why the woman bought her ring from the jeweler who made truth his business policy. Household Methods BY BETSY CALLIBTER. While the- majority of people the world over sigh for new houses, new furniture, floors and walls and chairs and tables that look spick and span, fresh and new, other people are spend ing their time and money trying to get surroundings that look old. A millionaire's house that has not even passed out of the builders’ hands already looks as if it had been standing hundreds of years. Thousands of dol lars have been spent to transplant old oaks and elms to the grounds surround ing the house and the garden benches that have just come from the maker have been so thoroughly “antiquated” in the process that they have to be held together with braces to keep them from splitting apart entirely. The flagstones that lead from the house to the gardens have been bat tered and chipped to give the desired look of age and the beams and wood work in the house have in some cases been brought at great expense from very old houses In England or have been subjected to an aging process to pro duce the same effect. SUMMERTIME BY D. C. PEATTIB. Early Summertime is caterpillar-time. The ancient and puissant tribe of in sects is passing through its creepy crawly stage, and an observant eye will detect the fact even in city streets, wherever there are trees. A suburban garden is generally full of them, and in the woods they are present, though harder to find. Everywhere the moths that, of a Summer night, brushing against the cheek, are a strange sort of caress; the butterflies that, by day, dance at mating time, pass through a phase that frightens women and chil dren and disgusts men. We are suddenly brought face to face with the fact that even a lunar moth is a worm at heart—at least insects are, in the long story of evolution, descended from worms—or rather they have as cended from them. However, the same is true of the vertebrate animals, of which we are the most conceited species, so it hardly behooves us to scoff. Even a caterpillar is rather a marvel ous little fellow. Your silk tie, your silk dress, was, after all, spun for you by caterpillars. Watch a group of tent caterpillars spinning a cocoon in a cherry or apple tree one of these days, and you will be astonished to observe what marvelous things these insects can do toward replacing brains—of which, in any human sense, the caterpillar simply hasn't any. This fact was not conceded by medi eval peoples, however. Animals, in the eyes of the law, were once answerable for their acts, and in the fourteenth century in the Riviera rock-village of Contes a plague of caterpillars was so destructive to the crops of the peasants that they were solemnly summoned into court to cease depredations and were called upon to remove themselves to an uninhabited mountain. An attorney for the defense was em ployed, and he was able to show that, owing to the shortness of the notice given his clients, they could not possibly remove themselves and their depend ents' effects. As matters went from bad to worse, they betook themselves in a procession to a desert region. The story is a matter of historical record and scientific fact, for the species involved was the procession caterpillar, which does move in defiles from one region to another. I MOTHERS I AND THEIR CHILDREN. A Wholesome Confection. One mother says; / A good wholesome confectlqgi for chil dren is made as follows: Boil together one cup of sugar and one-half cup of ■ ii —m w corn sirup until It forms a soft ball in water. Add this mixture to the beaten white of one egg and continue beating until almost cool, then add one cup of bran flakes. Pour onto a but tered dish and cut in squares when cool. My children like this as well as any store candy and it is certainly better for them. (Copyright. 1930.)
