Knitted Cap and Searf Approved
BY MARY MARSHALL.
A LITTLE knitted cap that looks
like nothing at all unless you
know how smartly It may be ad
justed, and a scarf of knitted
wool that would have looked
rustic and anything but fashionable a
few years ago. Here they are and your
Information about the new Winter
styles is not complete unless you have
heard about them
If you are at all clever with the use
of a crochet needle or knitting needles
you might easily make one of these sets
lor yourself The scarf Is made In a
straight long strip or with the ends
slightly flaring as in the usual ascot
scarf. Usually there are stripes of
bright, contrasting colors arranged so *
that they meet at an angle down the
center of the scarf Sometimes only
two colors are combined or there may
be three. Red. green and brown Is a
smart combination that goes well with
a brown coat or drers. Or you may
choose two tones of green and one of
brown, green with beige and brown, or
brown with Spanish tile
The smartness of these new' knitted
hats depends of course to a great ex
tent on the way they are worn and
every girl must do a little experiment
ing to see exactly how to tilt her own
hat in the most becoming manner.
Usually they are drawn down on the
right side, showing much of the fore
head and some of the hair at the left
side. They are small and snug, but
they are very much more becoming than
the close-fitting little berets and caps
that girls wore a season ago-pulled
severely back to show all the forehead.

Everyday Psychology
By DR JESSE W BFROWI.B.
Idealism Vs. Realism,
Past generations talked a lot about
ideals. Idealism and similar mental
movements toward the best or better
prospects for human existence. Our
forefathers spent a lot of time figuring
out what the world ought to be
If I mistake not, there seems to be
a different sort of philosophy in the
making today. To resurrect an old
term, call it realism. At any rate, mod
ern psychology is beginning to re-evalu
ate the why and wherefore of ideals.
And this modern psychology seems to
be somewhat pessimistic about idealism.
At least it might seem so to an idealist.
What is idealism? First of all. it's a
mental gesture wherewith the idealist
tries to sidestep the plain, hard facts
of human existence. Realism, as the
opposite of idealism, is hard to absorb.
Have you not noticed that philosophies
and theologies flourish best in war time
or soon after?

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMER.
REPUBLICANS would have had to
■*' look a long time to find a more
etalwart party man for leader than Ber
trand Snell of New York.
aw iiauiwv i
triumvirate of
Longwcrth, Tilson
and Snell, which
dominated t h e ^
House for so long,
the New Yorker in 4
recent years has ||
more and more ^
been looked to for
his leadership. If
Some months ago o
there was criticism
of him in regard
his stand on the
tariff. There were 11
a c c u s a t ions of ' •1
“back-sliding,” but
he never wandered
far away He seems
as orthodox today
as ever.
His Democratic friends smiled a little
perhaps at his promises to "liberalize"
the rules of the House while campaign
ing for the speakership. As chairman
of the Rules Committee for six years
Snell was held up by some as an “op
pressor." Last year he was accused
of applying the "gag” rule on a Hood of
legislation calling for Federal expendi
tures on many miscellaneous projects.
He oouhtered that if he as chairman
of the Rules Committee did not pre
vent enactment of extravagant legis
| Jation, the Treasury would be drained
And he later had the satisfaction of
telling his colleagues that his warning
was not heeded and the Treasury faces
a huge deficit.
Some regard Snell as pugnacious.
This is probably because usually he
prefers to keep quiet until a battle
on the floor reaches the point where
the Republicans need their so-called
"big guns.' Then he goes into action
with everything he has.
He is frank -at times painfully so—
alert and a quick thinker. In his per
sonal oontacts he is likable. But he
, will fight to the last breath against leg
islation he believes wrong or Ill-advised.
At tire same time he has waged battles
for legislation he approves even In the
face of administration opposition.
As chairman of the Rules Committee
some observers were of the opinion that
j Snell was the closest man in the House
j to the late Speaker Longworth.
It is true that long worth often called
op him to take the chair when quick
action was desired. His decisions were
j reached quickly, and he stuck to them
; to the end. He lost some of his fights,
| but he met defeat with good humor.
Sneil, who at the age of 61 remains
physically active, is ef medium height.
He has a ruddy faee, and his gray
hair is thinning. When he can spare
the time, he likes to play golf.
Wealthy, he has risen from book
keeper to his party’s choice for one of
the highest offices in the Government.
Since 1915 he has1 served uninterrupt
edly in the House.

LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PAPE.
Sattlday afternoon pop was taking
me for a drive In the Sparrow, and
after a while he looked at the gasoleen
thing, saying, It looks as if I need gas,
I suppose im ony human after all 111
stop rite here, this looks like the big
gest gas station in the werld, it awt
to be good enough for me, he said.
Meening a gas place with about 151
pumps all different colors, and pop
drove the Sparrow in and a man in a
uniform came up and saluted, saying
Gas, sir?
Youve managed to gess it, pop said
What kind do you carry, or perhaps it j
would be simpler to ask what kind you
dont carry, he said, ahd the man said.
Yes sir. we have them all, in fact we
specialise on every brand, you mite say.
Whats In this pink pump, thats not
a bad color, t>°P said, and the man
said, Thats Pink Power, w'e recom
mend that highly, we sell a lot of that,
or maybe you’d care for White Whizz,
we sell a good eel of that too.
Well ,1 don’t know, what comes out
of that black pump? pop said, and the
man said. Thau Black Bullet, we dont
handle anything much better than
that, we recommend that specially, ;
Black Bullet. And then of corse here’s
Silver Cyclone, its getting to be a very
close rival to Goldeu Gallop we rec
ommend them both particulilly.
How about that striped pump, what’s
that, some kind of barber shop gas’-1
pop said, and the man said No sir
that there’s Zebra Zip, its the onv 3
color gas on the market, we recom
mend that among the chief brands that
we recommend.
You don’t say, well, 1 dont seem to
be getting anywhere, whats in that lit
tle pump in the corner? he said and
the man said. O that, thats just ordner
ry gas, we dont recommend that, its 3
cents cheeper than any other brand.
Ah, Orphan Ozone, fill up my tank
wuth that, its my good deed for the
day, pop said,
Wich the man did, and the Sparrow
kepp on going just as good as usual.

Pleasing the Man
BY CHI.OF. JAMISON.
TS he fond of onions? Then some
A time surprise him with a nice fat
onion pie. It's delicious for dem as
likes ’em, as our old cook used to say.
She learned the secret of this strange
pie through backdoor visits to the
kitchen of a wealthy German family
whose table fairly bent beneath its
load of good tilings to eat.
One makes the usual pie crust, and
for its filling peels and slices a huge
Bermuda oeion which should be al
lowed to cook slowly in a covered
saucepan, with plenty of butter added,
until well done. Cool the onions slight
ly, drain them and place them in the
crust; then pour over them a custard
mixture made from one well beaten
egg and three tablespoonfuls of milk,
sweetened ever so slightly, and seasoned
with a dash of salt. Place the pie In
a medium oven and bake until the
crust is done and the custard sets.
Serve either hot or cold, and if you
do not consider it as a vegetable for
dinner service, then use it as a supper
dish to help out a left-over menu.
Mud Stains.
Mud stains on mackintoshes will
usually disappear if sponged with warm
water to which a small quantity of
common salt has been added.

Handwriting
W hat It May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.
WE need not closely scrutinize
this writer's script to realize i
that she Is probably a per
son of extremely strong likes
and dislikes. For her there i
Is seemingly no halfway attitude or j
compromising ‘‘sitting on the fence” in j
her viewpoints and conduct. She is
apparently a true friend to some and |
candid in her dislikes of others.
The unusual formation of the "n’s” {
would lead us to believe she has dis-!
tinct talent as an organizer and pro- j
moter of community improvement proj- j
ects, she could probably inspire others!
to follow her example in seeking a bet- i
terment In the living conditions of less
fortunate homes.
It may be that she has a habit of
openly expressing her criticisms of
others too freely. This frankness per
haps reacts unfavorably to the affection
in which her friends may hold her
Apparently she does not realize that
openly speaking one's mind chills the
kindly feelings of others for the
speaker.
The wide loops of the ‘T’ and "d”
seemingly indicate an aptitude for work
that demands a nature not easily re
buffed. She could probably be extreme
ly successful In the field of Insurance
selling. The incomes of the outstand
ing women in this uncrowded voca
tion are unusually high. Apparently
she has the necessary qualifications to
succeed likewise. However, should in
surance selling not appeal to her, then
the sale of household specialties, such
as washing machines or vacuum clean
ers, for which there Is a real need,
might afford an outlet for her selling
talents.
She should guard against overwork
Possessing as she does a love of quick,
decisive moments, It is possible that
nervdus exhaustion might result if her
efforts were too long sustained at one
time. A quiet period of relaxation
daily, a communing with herself, will
refresh her spiritually and physically.

The Woman Who Makeg Good
BY HELEN WOODWAJRD,
Whose uniquely successful career, both in business and private Ufa,
enables her to speak with authority on problems
of the modern unman.
Easier to Earn Than Save.
Does a woman who works know the
value of money better than a woman
who stays at home? Does she become
more economical? Does she save more
_money? Is she
fc,. ■■■« I rrtriw
Helm Woodward
more tnmty alter
she marries?
My answer would 1
be ' no” to all these
questions. The old
fashioned woman,
who never worked,
and kept house,
was far more care
ful about money
than the modern
business woman
Everything she
got was given to
mi . miu si out n nil vi iiiuiv out
had to ask for it as a favor. Now,
most people don't lik* to ask for money
as a gift. That Is one reason, but
there is a bigger one.
The old-fashioned woman had two
sources of pride. One was bringing up
her children, and the other managing
her household on as little money as
possible.
If she did her own work, she pared
her potatoes finely and prepared her
meals so that every little bit of left
over food would count. If she had a
big family and ran a large house, with
servants, she overworked all of them
in order to save and get along with 1
one less than she needed. It wasn't
the universal rule, of course, but it was
true of the average woman. The old
fashioned woman never knew how
money was made and she stood In awe
of it.
Now see how different things are
today. A girl who works for a living
knows how money is made. More than 1
that, except in times of great depres
sion, she knows that if her money goes,
she will be able to make more.
The girl of today, if she keeps house, j
wastes half her potatoes In the paring.
If she runs a large house she gets an
extra servant to make things easier for
herself. She spends more money on
clothes and on cosmetics. She is not
frightened by the thought of money.
Unless she is being underpaid at her
job, she doesn’t have to ask anybody
for money, and even if she Is under
paid, she usually gets her extra money
by earning it in one way or another.
Men have always had the reputation
of being less saving with money than
women. It was because their job was
earning—not saving. And the average
woman on the job, today, has an atti
tude toward money more like that of
a man.
She is apt to plan what she spend*
carefully enough, but she is not thrifty
about little things. The saving of a
nickel doesn't Interest her much.
She has learned that the only way
to save money Is to be careful about
the fundamental expenses—that, If you
have a higher rent than you can af
ford, anything else you can do will
not save you money. Paying * high
rent and saving pennies will not get
you anywhere
The girl who works knows that It -
isn't extravagant to buy a very good
suit and hat and live in that day after
day, while the woman who lived at
home was apt to think that she was
saving money by buying two or three
cheap little dresses, none of whieh
ever looked right.
