Vacation Atmosphere Sought

ATTRACTIVE TREATMENT
When a family cannot go away for a
Summer vacation it becomes essential
that the members give the vacation
atmosphere to the home, if they are to
find relaxation through change. It is
possible to instil such an atmosphere
without such radical changes that they
involve cost or trouble that robs the
plan of pleasure and becomes weari
some.
Those who have not already put the
bouse in Summer order can follow the
luggestion here given and have the
benefit during the coming weeks, which
Is a period equal to a long vacation for
the average family. The changes can
not radically affect the whole house, as
would be the case if done earlier. They
must be centered chiefly with minor
alterations here and there that will be
pronounced in appearance.
First of all, make the veranda, if you
have one, so inviting that it becomes a
spot quickly sought whenever there is
a period of leisure, though it may be
short. See that the chairs on it are
comfortable as well as suitable. Make
a few chair seats. An applique patch
work pattern can be used, and in a
few hours several chair seats made.
Have the design in one color, as a
geometric pattern of one piece, sewed
down to a contrasting background cut
square or round as best suits the
chairs.
Put the tops onto old cushions, or
eut a plain back of the foundation tex
tile, and fill each case (made by seam
ing back and top together) with cot
ton batting, or any cheap filling pre
ferred. By having the materials all as
sembled and ready for work some of
these chair seats and sofa cushions
can be stitched on the sewing machine
and completed in a few hours of an
afternoon. The change they will make

the shades desired. The beat thing
then is to make the suit yourself.
The new bathing costumes consist of
an abbreviated under section over
which is worn a short full skirt or
shorts usually of contrasting material.
Suits of this sort are much smarter
than the one-piece jersey suits so gen
ially worn a year or so ago.

in tha appearance of the porch will be
gratifying.
A wall pocket for magazines is made
from a hemmed strip of cretonne, or
plain gay-toned wash material, tacked
to the clapboards of the house. If the
strip is a yard long and eight or nine
inches wide, it will hold many mag
azines and papers. Slant the strip out
ward a few inches toward the top when
cutting it and tack the ends straight.
This will give the needed fullness for
the pockets. Tack two strips of braid
down at intervals. This will hold the
textile in shape and form three pockets.
The center pocket will be nearly
straight. In it slip palm-leaf fans.
If you have no porch the front steps
can have an inviting appearance. Make
the cushions of turkey red, plain or
with the applique patchwork of black
or green, as for the chair seats. Place
two on each side of the doorway, or
more if the step is extra long. For the
next steps make short, narrow cushions
the width of the steps, and lay them
down succeeding steps on each side, al
lowing space for walking up and down
the steps between these end cushions.
It is but the matter of a few moments
to gather these up at night or to put
them in place in the morning. If they
are covered with waterproof material
they can be left out in rain or shine
without damage.
Plants on a doorstep or a veranda
are a great addition to beauty and
Summertime effects. Indoors put
away most ornaments and take down
Winter hangings. Use light-colored,
easily laundered bed spreads and table
covers in chambers. Keep the light
soft in the rooms. If the furniture has
not linen covers use straight lengths
down backs and over the seats.

THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1930
Today in
History
BT DONALD A. CKAIO.
August *, 1754.—There was bom on
this date a child, In Paris, who was to
play one of the most Important parts
in the building of the City of Wash
ington, destined to become the most
beautiful capital city in the world,
largely through his efforts in drawing
the original plan
The child was Pierre Charles
L'Enfant. He was the son of Pierre
L ’Enfant, described as “painter in
ordinary to the King in his manufacture
of gobelins.” The father was also a
member of the French Academy of Fine
Arts. _ , .
The young Pierre Charles, at the age
of 23. was serving as a brevet lieutenant
of French colonial troops. Then, in
company with eight of his comrades In
arms, he came to America and offered
his services to the struggling colonies,
which were striving to make good their
independence from England and estab
lish permanently on this hemisphere the
United States of America.
He arrived in this country in the
Summer of 1777. a few months before
the famous young Marquis de Lafayette
reached these shores for the same pur
pose. L’Enfant landed at Charleston, in
South Carolina, and made his way as
rapidly as possible to Philadelphia, to
interview the leaders of the Continental
Congress. He joined the Continental
Army as a volunteer, and at his own
expense. On April 30, 1779, he was
made a captain of the American
forces in the Corps of Engineers, his
new rank dating back to February 18
of that year. *
L’Enfant was not only a city planner
—great as was his work in that line.
He was a gallant soldier, being wounded
in a courageous forward movement in
the assault on Savannah, Ga. He was
made a prisoner by the British May 12,
1780, at the siege of Charleston, but
was exchanged and rejoined the Amer
ican Army in November of that year.
It was the esteem of Gen. Washington
that he won during the war. both as a
fighter and as an engineer, that caused
the first President to select him to draw
the layout and plan for the proposed
new Federal City. His plan met with
the hearty approval of Washington and
other famous men of that day.
My Neighbor Says:
Baking-powder biscuits, eom
bread and muffins may be fresh
ened by brushing them all over
with cold water and heating them
in a moderate oven (375 degrees
Fahrenheit) for 5 or 10 minutes
just before serving.
When basting, try using as long
a double thread as convenient,
and when the end near the needle
is reached cut one strand of
thread near the knot,, pull the cut
end out and sew with the single
thread thus made. In this way
your thread will not be so apt to
become knotted.
Icing for cake may be pre
vented from cracking by adding
one teaspoonful of cream to each
unbeaten egg. Stir all together,
then add sugar until the icing is
as stiff as desired.
When making cole slaw or cab
bage salad, half of a small onion,
shredded fine, mixed through the
cabbage, gives a delightful flavor.
GOOD FOR US
When a child my elders fed me castor
oil, disease to foil; and I wished they
would behead me rather than prescribe
that oil. “It will do you good,” they
told me, when I wept, in bitter mood,
and they often used to scold me for my
base ingratitude. Divers herbs they
used in making an unholy, noxious tea,
and when my insides were aching they
would pour it into me. I’d consume
some seven fingers of that fierce and
fatal brew, and the memory still lingers
of the rancid taste I knew. And my
elders, they’d behold me sick of soul
and shedding tears. “It will do you
good,” they told me, greeting all my
sighs with Jeers. When at school the
dour old master often took a birchen
staff, and he labored fast and faster,
whaling me both fore and aft. When
catastrophe befell me, in this harsh
and drastic style, “It’ll do you good,”
he’d tell me, with a cold, sardonic
smile. All my life I’ve been receiving
clubs and cleavers in the neck, but you
would not see me grieving, and I would
not be a wreck, if no people would
assure me that such things will do me
good, that such punishment will cure
me of the ills o’er which I brood. I
•m wondering at present, as I sadly
knock on wood, why the thing that is
unpleasant is the thing that does us
good. In my old and stale and drab
age, with a brace of doctors nigh, I’m
condemned to prunes and cabbage,
when I lust for cakes and pie. I would
spend the long day rocking underneath
my greenwood tree, but I have to set
forth walking, for that stunt is good
for me By the arbiter judicial this
ukase has been decreed: Nothing nice
is beneficial, all things punk are what
we need. WALT MASON.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX
PJEAR MISS DlX—Why do boys and girls, blessed with kind parents who pro
•L/ vide well for them leave home? I know a girl whose father and mother
lavished every luxary upon her, but who left them heartbroken to go out into
the world, where she met with grievous disappointments, but was finally pre
vailed upon to return home. Is this sorry state of affairs caused by our care
free, Jazz-mad, modem age?—E. B. T.
Answer—Boys and girls leave home for the same reasons that young birds
leave the nest. They have an instinctive desire to try their wings.
Probably no more boys leave home now than have always left. Boys have
always left home to seek their fortunes or in pursuit of adventure, and if
more girls leave home than used to, it is merely because the outside world
holds opportunities for them now that it did not have in their grandmother’s
day.
In olden times a girl had to stay at home because there was nowhere
else for her to go. Home may have been as dull as dish water. In it she may
have been doomed to a life of domestic slavery, without even a chance of
transferring her serfdom from her parents to her husband. But she had to
stay put, for the very good reason that she would starve if she got away from
the paternal table.
Now, when a girl with a good trade can make her living anywhere in the
world, fortune beckons and adventure lures the girl away from home, just as
it does the boy. And so Peggy grabs her suit case, Jams on her sports hat
cuts mother’s apron string, bangs the door behind her and is off on her own.
Os course, these young birds who hop so blithely out of the home nest
and who are so confident of their ability to fly find that they don’t know as
much about aeronautics as they thought they did, and it isn’t as easy as they
expected it to be. A few break their necks, and many of them smash their
wings and come limping back home, sadder and wiser birds. But they had
to try out their own wings. It was a cosmic urge that they could, not resist.
Generally speaking, it is a good thing for them. If they succeed and de
velop the strength to stand on their own feet, well and good. They make bet
ter men and women for it.' If they fail, they have at least had a valuable ex
perience, which has taught them much and makes them appreciate home more.
There Is no other cure so efficacious for the temperamental, discontented
boys and girls who think they are heaven-ordained writers and actors and
movie stars as letting them go and try it out. Most of them are glad enough
to have a return ticket sent to them and to connect again with a steady job
and three square meals a day.
Another reason boys and girls leave home is that so many parents never
realize that their children grow up and never accord them any liberty. Father
and mother thinks that Mamie, at 16, should go to bed at the same hour she did
when she was 8. And if John works for father, father feels that he should not
expect the wages that he would pay another young chap but that he should be
content with a dollar or two of spending money.
To save her life, mother cannot keep rom nagging her children about put
ting on their rubbers and wrapping up warn., and putting them through a ques
tionnaire about every single blessed thing they do and think, until she drives
them away from home in order to get a little freedom."
On the whole, this going away from home is a good thing, for there is no
truer saying than the old proverb: "Home-keeping youths have ever homely
wit.” There is no education equal to travel and seeing the world at first hand.

BEDTIME STORIES rrr
Jim Crow'g Return.
A scapegrace, do whate'er he may,
Will oiten have a winning way.
—Mother Brown.
For three nights and three days Jim
Crow had been a member of the flock
over in the Green Forest. For three
nights and three days he had tasted the
joys of freedom. And now he was ready
to confess that this so-called freedom
did not taste as sweet as he had ex
pected. It would soon be time for the
flock to seek a lonesome part of the
Green Forest to go to bed for the night.
Jim Crow didn’t like to think of it.
Never until he had left his home at
Farmer Brown’s had he known what
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?”
INQUIRED BLACKY.
fear was at night Now, every night he
was afraid. All the other Crows were
afraid.
“I'm not going back to the Green
Forest to shiver and shake tonight,” de
clared Jim Crow.
"What are you going to do?” inquired
Blacky.
“I'm not going to do it,” said Jim
Crow, talking aloud, as it drew near
to the time to seek their perches for
the night.
"What is it you are not going to do?”
inquired his father, Blacky.
“I’m going back where I was,” de
clared Jim Crow. "I’m going back
where I can have plenty to eat with
out working hard to get it; where I can
sleep without worrying, and where I
don’t have to fly away from every man
I see. What is more, I’m going right
this minute.”
Jim Crow was as good as his word.
In spite of the taunts of the other
Crows, he headed straight for Fanner
Brown’s cornfield, where Farmer Brown
and Farmer Brown’s Boy were just
making ready to leave for home. “My
goodness!” exclaimed Farmer Brown’s
Boy. “What are those Crows making
such a fuss about?” He stood for a
moment looking across the Green Mea
dows toward the big flock of Crows.
They were cawing excitedly. As he

looked, one of the flock separated from
the others and headed straight toward
him. The other Crows started in pur
suit. then changed their minds. But
the lone Crow came straight on.
“I wonder if that is Jim Crow!” ex
claimed Fanner Brown’s Boy. “I be
lieve it is. I believe the rascal is com
ing home.” He gave the call that he
used to use when he wanted Jim Crow
to come to him. Therd - was an answer
ing ’ Caw," and it seemed as if the lone
Crow flew faster than ever. In a few
minutes he was so near that Farmer
Brown's Boy recognized him. There was
no question but that it was his lost
pet Crow. Straight to him flew the
black bird and alighted on his right
shoulder. Such a jabbering as there
was then! Jim Crow, with his bill close
to the right ear of Farmer Brown’s Boy,
jabbered Crow talk as fast as his tongue
could go. Yes, sir, he did so. Now and
then he would give Farmer Brown’s
Boy’s ear a gentle tweak.
“What’s the matter with you, you
black scamp?” cried Farmer Brown's
Boy. “What are you making such a
fuss about? One would think you had
been rescued from something. You
could have come home any time you
wanted to. Besides, you needn’t have
gone in the first place.”
To all this, Jim Crow replied with
Crow talk, not one word of which could
Farmer Brown's Boy understand. But
then, it wasn’t necessary to understand
the words. Jim Crow’s actions were
quite as easily understood as any words
and it was very clear, indeed, that Jim
Crow was delighted to be at home once
more. So up the Long Lane he rode
on Farmer Brown’s Boy's shoulder, and
across the dooryard to the back door.
There stood Mother Brown.
“So that nuisance is back, is he?” she
exclaimed. “I hoped he had gone for
good.”
Farmer Brown’s Boy grinned. He
knew that Mother Brown didn't really
mean that. He knew that right down in
her heart she was glad to see Jim
Crow back again.

Its fantastic, pop sed. The woman

was coming out on the upper gums or
the lower, and low and behold, just as
I hoped, she ansered the lower.
The plot thickins, I cant see through,

Do I? pop sed. O of corse, the tickit

at a ded loss for werds, so she just
managed to stammer out some abserd

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES
■ i " '
Comfortable Feet.
If your feet have been troubling you
1 a lot, you might try this two weeks’
treatment. I can guarantee the most
marvelous results from it, and I can
guarantee also beautiful as well as com
fortable feet.
Try it during your holiday time, or
during some warm part of the Summer
when you can wear unconventional
loose shoes, canvas or else sandals.
Your toes must not be cramped and
the inner side of the sole of your shoes
must go in a straight line. This will
help overcome bunions.
Each day soak the feet in very warm,
soapy water. Clip the nails rather
: short and straight across, and clean
under them carefully with the point of
a file. If the big nails grow in, wedge
a wisp of absorbent cotton soaked in
oil under the bad part. Cut off corns
with a com knife.
But first, while the feet are wet and
the skin soft, go around the edge or
the cuticle part of each nail with a
pointed file and loosen and raise the
dead skin growing there. Clip it off
w'ith curved manicure scissors or mani
cure clippers. You cannot get a smooth
i cuticle at once, it may take a week, but
! each dav you can get off a little bit
I more. And after each attempt, rub
I vaseline into the nails and all around
them and into the callous spots where
there are corns or threatened sore
At night, soak the feet for a minute
in hot water, and dry and then rub
them with a generous amount of olive
oil. Rub thoroughly, working the oil
in between the toes. If you have fallen
arches, raise those bones with your fin
gers. If your big toes turn in, straight
en them and work each toe round and
round gently, so it does not stiffen
where that tender Joint comes.
In a couple of weeks your feet will
look and feel splendid.
T. A. B.—There would be no effect
upon the color of your hair if you used
a mixture of olive oil and alcohol. This
would be a good combination for any
scalp treatment, as the alcohol is very
stimulating. If used very much alone
it would be too drying to the scalp,
but the oil takes care of that. Sage
and sulphur will change the color very
slightly, such as turning gray or white
hairs to a tan shade. This mixture was
used for generations, but now most
people who want to color their stray
hairs do it much better than the old
way by other means One way is a
henna shampoo and this is as harmless
as the sage and sulphur combination.
Miss L. K.—The only way you could
tan your skin would be by successive
sunburnings or by using one of the tan
powders.
Blue Eyes—Try rubbing some anti
septic pomade into your scalp the night
before you shampoo and it will purify
the scalp and dislodge the dandruff, so
it will come away with the lather when
you shampoo your head. A sulphur
ointment may be used, or oil in which
a little sulphur has been nibbed into
It. A scalp that forms dandruff is
really in need of intelligent care, and.
if possible, it should be prescribed for
by a scalp specialist; however, when
that is not possible, use the ointments

I ROYAL HE-MEN OF HISTORY
Arabian Mothers Frightened Disobedient Children With

"HOW DARE A DUKE ASSUME THE RIGHTS OF A KING?"
HE DEMANDED.
Perhaps if Richard the Lion-Hearted
had been loyally supported by Duke
Leopold of Austria and King Philippe
of France the third crusade would have
been successful.
Richard always was in the forefront
of the fighting. His great strength
and his indomitable spirit enabled him
to accomplish the most daring deeds.
Philippe and Leopold were left in the
shade.
During the siege of Acre both Rich
ard and Philippe fell ill of fever. But
while the French King remained pru
dently in his quarters, the English King
had himself carried on a mattress to
the front of the army.
Trembling with fever, Richard aimed
a balista at the walls and thus killed
a Saracen who was parading on the
ramparts in the armor of a Christian
knight.
I Acre fell after three years, but now
Philippe resolved to return home. His
health was bad.
Duke Leopold remained with the
Crusaders, but he was angry with Rich

if you shampoo on Saturday, the tonic

I pold had planted his banner upon a
i tower, alongside that of Richard and
! Philippe. The Lion-Hearted one in
: stantly ordered it torn down.
"How dare a duke assume the rights
of a king?” he demanded.
The breach grew'. A victory' at Mount
Carmel opened the way to Joppa and
then to Ramla, from which, on New
Year day, 1192, the Crusaders set out
for Jerusalem. But it being judged
impracticable to besiege the city at
that season, it W'as decided to take over
and fortify Ascalon, so that the Sara
cens would not have a post in the rear
from which to attack them.
The soldiers grumbled. "We came
not to build Ascalon, but to conquer
Jerusalem,” they said.
Richard shamed them by using his
strength to carry stones like a com
mon laborer. But when he called upon
Leopold to do the same the duke
sulked.
"I am not the son of a mason,” he
1 muttered.
Richard, angry, struck him a blow
that sent him reeling.
The impediments became too great.
Word came, too, that Richard was
needed in England. He decided he
must give up the crusade and return
home.
At Joppa, once more, he was attacked
by 7,000 Saracens; against whom he
could oppose less than 1,000 men and
only 17 mounted knights. The man
who brought warning of the attack
rushed into Richard's tent, shouting,
“O King, we are all dead men."
"Peace! Or thou diest by my hand,”
thundered Richard. He swore to cut
off the head of the first soldier who
should try to fly.
The attacks of the Saracens having
been stopped, Richard took the of
fensive. He dashed like lightning
everywhere, swinging his ax like a
demon. At nightfall the Christians
could claim a tremendous victory. Not
once since daybreak had Richard laid
aside his sword or ax. His hand was
all one blister.
The terror of Malek Rik—as the Sar
acens called Richard—lasted in Pales
tine for centuries after his departure.
If an Arab’s horse was frightened, the
rider said, “Dost think that yonder is
the Malek Rik?” Mothers frightened
disobedient children by saying, “Be
good, or the Malek Rik will take thee.”

Shoes Active in Sports,
Passive on Spectators.
BY FLORENCE LA CANKE.
"If you are a spectator then you need
to wear spectator clothes.” This was
Nancy laying down the dictum to Lois.
Naturally Lois was not entering into
any strenuous games this Summer.
Walking the floor with little Ann was
about as much and exciting exercise as
she could indulge in. But Lois knew she
did not want to be the kind of mother
who gives up everything for a child.
She realized that Roger had some
rights. Why should ape not go out to
see him play tennis occasionally? Why
not go out to the country club and wait
for him as he finished his round of
golf?
The question of clothes was what was
bothering her: "Can't I wear some frilly
clothes, Nancy?” And Nancy answered
her.
“This year there is such a thing as
spectator clothes. They are not frilly,
but they are more dressy than straight
sports attire, which is still extremely
smart when it is simple.
"Take the kind of shoes which you
should wear, for instance. I would
I choose white buckskin trimmed with
| brown, blue (dark blue) or black
leather. Get the ones with leather
heels, if you can. But don't make the
mistake of wearing glossy kid pumps or
ornately embroidered textile shoes.
These last may have a place in some
person's wardrobe, but not in yours.
You don't want to spend money on tads
which are smart while they last, but
the lasting is exceedingly short.
“And when it comes to bags. I'd
choose rather simple ones. This Sum
mer the large ones of textiles, often
round thread linens in coarse weaves
with hand embroidery, are good for
shopping or for country club porches.
But don’t make the mistake of buying
a pretty, pretty bag for Summer use
in the out-of-doors. Keep them sturdy,
simple, rathpr strong and effective In
coloring. Thus endeth the lesson in
spectator clothes styles,” quoth Nancy.
Reducing is not a bad idea durin* the
Summer weather. Write to Nancy Page. care
