Delicate and Romantic
Touch Is Given by New
Field for Ancient Art
Trend Toward True Femininity Carries
Needlepoint Into Popularity With
Present-Day Women.
BY BETSY CASWELL.
THE renascence of an ancient
art has recently come about
among modern women. With
the fashion trend ever turn
ing more and more in the di
rection of true femininity, occupation
for leisure moments also assumes a
more delicate and
romantic aspect.
The art is
needlepoint. It is
centuries old; in
fact, its beginnings
are buried in the
mists of antiquity,
but we do know
that tapestries
were being made
in the days of
Egypt under the
Pharaohs and even Csiw.„
prior to that time. y c "
Needlepoint, as we know it, is a di
rect descendant of those tapestries
which have set such a high standard
of value for textiles throughout the
ages.
At first tapestries were not woven
for beauty and pastime alone—they
were a very real necessity In the un
heated, high-ceilinged rooms of the
day. Covering the bare cold walls,
and forming screens against draughts,
they also held in the heat of the great
fires. Usually they were made by the
women of the household, under the
direction of the lady of the manor.
and the tedious hours were whiled
away in story-telling by various mem
bers of the group or entertainment
by wandering minstrels and lute
players.
Later, of course, the ambition to
make the tapestries as beautiful and
deathless as great paintings was
born and then began the weaving
and stitching of the huge and exquisite
pieces that are now enshrined In
museums and private collections.
* * * *
T> OMANCE and feminine tears and
laughter went into every stitch
and have, in some mysterious way,
clung to the lovely textiles ever since.
Thus, the piece of needlepoint which
you make today will become the heir
loom of tomorrow, with an atmos
phere of delicate charm and rose
leaf memories clinging to it always.
For the modern woman needlepoint
has been simplified tremendously.
Most of the shops have complete sets
of stamped canvases, the wools to
complete the design, and comprehen
sive directions. The work itself is
not complicated—it is only a half
stitch version of the old-fashioned
cross-stitch which you probably
learned as a child.
As a matter of fact, many of the
schools are now teaching needlepoint
in their sewing classes. My small
daughter presented me last Christ
mas with a somewhat lumpy sofa
cushion, covered with needlepoint of
her own construction. The back
ground was blue and the central,
rather tipsy figure of Red Riding
Hood, was gay In the traditional scar
let. It was really a juvenile master
piece of patience and persistence, and
so fired her with enthusiasm that she
Is now hard at work on a pin cushion
featuring the Eastern bunny—pure
white with pink eyes!
* * * *
MANY women have been devotees
of tapestry work for years and
their homes have delightful evidences
of their skill In footstools, chair backs
and seats, doorstops and cushions
scattered about in a charming way.
Now, however, I find everywhere a
growing interest in the art among
women who are not naturally ‘‘needle
minded.” The opportunity for creat
ing a work of art, that can be handed
down in the family from one gen
eration to another, and also the
tendency among women of today to
become more feminine and domestic,
have appealed to young and old alike.
Washington shops are well equipped
to take care of this new Interest and,
sensing this high note in the fem
inine theme, have been even giving
lectures and Instruction on the sub
ject.
I would advise starting out on a
small scale; that is. with little area
and a fairly simple pattern and back
| ground. Thus, if you make mistakes,
they will not be so serious as if you
have embarked on a real work of
art that will be hopelessly marred
by the first somewhat faulty stitches.
As with all things, ‘‘practice makes
perfect,” and your second attempt
will be assured of far greater suc
cess than your first. Also, start out
with the gros point, which is the
larger stitch, and only attempt the
fine and exquisite petit point when
you have become true mistress of the
art.
* * * *
'T'HERE are so many things that
may be done with needlepoint!
In addition to the chair seats, etc., I
mentioned, there are bell-pulls of
lovely coloring and design, men's
lounging slippers, bags, firebench
covers and fascinating small mats
to place under flower vases. Choose
designs that fit into your decorating
scheme and make your home charm
ing with your own two hands.
And, speaking of hands—when are
they more lovely then when delicately
threading a needle in and out of a
piece of colorful fabric?
If you wish advice on your own
individual household problems write

Dorothy Dix Says
Morale Just as Important in Home as on
Battlefield.
DEAR MISS DEX: I have been
married two years. Since my
marriage my employment has
diminished to part time. My
wife nags continually and I
whines about this and says that other
men make enough to live on, so why
can’t I? It seems to me that invari
ably every time I get my courage up to
make a desperate effort to find some
thing steady she gives me a couple of
hours of complaining that just sinks
me. It makes me feel licked at the
start, although I know that, no matter
what came, she would not be satisfied
and would whine about something else
anyway. Can you give me some help
lul advice about what to do?
GERALD.
Answer: The only helpful advice
fcnybody can give a man who is
afflicted with a whining wife is to gag
her every time she starts out on an
Drgy of self-pity. But there are plenty
. 1 -1
of things I can tell the lady in the
case.
'T'HE first thing is that every com
A plaining wife brings down upon
herself the fate she resents. She
makes all of her dismal prophecies
come true. She kills with her own
hand the goose that lays the golden
egg, for she takes every bit of pep and
ambition and self-confidence out of
her husband, so that he is defeated
even before he begins to fight. The
woman who never lets her husband
forget that she regards him as a
failure becomes a failure. The wife
who always belittles her husband’s
judgment and ability, who is forever
telling him that other men can do so
and so, turns him into a coward and a
quitter. The wife who Is always re
proaching her husband because he
doesn’t make so much money as some
other man kills his ability to make
any money at all.
Before any of us can succeed we
must have faith in ourselves. We
must believe in ourselves. We must
be sure that we can do the thing we
are attempting to do. Otherwise we
lack the hope and enthusiasm, the
push and energy that enable us to
achieve, and if a wife deliberately robs
her husband of these she simply dooms
him to failure.
AS LONG as a man’s wife believes
in him, as long as she tells him
how great and wonderful she thinks
he is, he will come up again and will
fight through almost any difficulty to
success. 'But if his wife does not be
lieve in him, if she throws cold water
on his every plan, if she puts the bad
luck sign on his every endeavor, she
takes away his every chance to win
out.
During the war we were told the im
portance of keeping up the soldiers’
morale and that the spirit with which
soldiers went into battle largely de
termined the results, whether victory
or defeat. It is a pity that wives do
not realize that morale is just as
important in the home as on the
battlefield. DOROTHY DIX.

Body Goes on
Despite Its
Sick Spells
Nature Provides an
Extra Set of Means
to Meet Needs.
BY JAMES W. BARTON. M. D.
^ PHYSICIAN knows that the body
is not like a machine that is
working at its greatest capacity all
the time. As a matter of fact, your
body is capable of doing a great deal
more work than it is ever called upon
to do.
Thus we find an extra eye. an extra
kidney, extra glands in various parts
of the body; we know that the liver is
much larger than it needs to be, that
the heart can beat twice as often and
pump twice as much blood with every
beat as it does under ordinary cir
cumstances. In fact, half of such
important organs as the liver, pan
creas, kidneys, lungs, stomach, small
intestine and large intestine, could be
removed and the body would still keep
on doing its work.
As Prof. W. B. Cannon, Harvard
University, points out, Nature is ready
; for more than the ordinary needs of
the body, and it is because the body
has this extra strength, which it can
use in emergencies, that the physician
is able to restore health to those who
are sick.
A trained physician knows the body,
knows how much extra strength the
body can exert in emergencies, and
endeavors to prevent anything inter
fering with the body’s effort to use
this extra power or atrength.
Thus outside heat, and heat manu
factured by the body through the
processes going on within it, may in
crease the body temperature to a dan
gerous height unless the alert phy
sician prevents it. Or great fear can
act on certain organs and cause great
body disturbance. The family physi
cian can so explain this that the
patient Is reassured and loses his fear.

HOW I KEEP
MY FIGURE
BY JEAN HARLOW.
I am a great believer in simple diet.
I feel so much better if I eat simple
foods, and not too much of them. I
think that heavy foods and ia too
full diet not only
ruin one's figure,
but one's health
as well. I study
the correct com
bination of foods
which I think
very necessary.
For instance, I
cannot eat
atarches at the
e meal with
meats—they sim
ply do not agree
with me. For
scone people they
no doubt are per
Jesa Hsrlsw. fectly »H right.
Each person
should make a study of the things
that agree and the things that do not
and adjust her diet accordingly.
I have the same thing every morning
for breakfast. First thing when I get
up I have a glass of warm water
with lemon juice. My breakfast con
sists of a cup of coffee and a glass of
grapefruit juice. If I have more than
this, I feel stuffy. Luncheon usually
is a raw vegetable salad, crisp toast
and some sliced fruit for dessert. In
the Winter I often have soup instead
of salad. Dinner is my largest-meal.
I do not always have meat—only about
three or four times a week. Always
three vegetables and a very simple
dessert and coffee.
Massage is a very convenient method
of controlling the figure. Diet is good
if a person is a little overweight all
over, and massage removes excess fat
from particular spots. For instance,
a person may have rather large hips,
yet be Just right every other place—
then massage is splendid.
Exercise, especially swimming, and
a normal diet are the main points that
I watch In keeping my figure where
Z want it.

Force Lost
With Show
Of Temper
Mind Retreats While
Poison of Anger Is
Having Effect.
BY ANGELO PATRI.
J^EAR CHILDREN: Losing your
temper is the most childish thing
you can do. It puts you back once
more to the day when, a little 2-year
old, you had a temper tantrum, kicked
and howled and got blue in the face
because you wanted the light out of
the lamp. Your mother had to take
charge of you and bring you back to
sanity. Once your balance had been
restored you were put to bed to rest
up and start again. You were a baby,
of course, so you were excused and
disciplined.
Now you are past your teens and
people expect you to take charge of
yourself and carry your share of the
load along, whatever road you may be
traveling. If things do not work
smoothly—and there are many times
that they cannot—hold on to your
temper. When you find it slipping,
count 30, say the Lord's prayer, re
peat the words of some fine old hymn,
silently, and before half a minute ha*
gone by you will be in control ol
yourself.
Losing your temper is throwing
away your own power. While the
storm rages up and down your body
your mind retreats, your reason lies
smothered ' under your primitive,
childish emotion of anger. Nothing
is accomplished until your reason i*
restored and your mind sits in power
once more. You are weary after the
struggle. Your nerves are twitching.
Your mind is foggy.
Temper is the voice of anger and
anger is a poison. You would not
take poison knowingly, but you let
yourself slip Into anger and generate
poison in your own body and suffei
its consequences. Your mother
guajded you against this evil when
you were small. Is she to follow you
all the days of your life saying, “Count
4 and 20; count 4 and 20?"
All vivune you were raging ywa
enemy was planning to take advan
tage of your weakness. He did not
lose his temper. When he saw you
losing yours he sat back and smiled.
He knew he had you if he waited
Just a few minutes and kept smiling
at you. And you were childish enough
to fall into the trap.
Temper settles nothing. After you
have had your tantrum and poured
out a lot of energy you needed for
good work and said a great many
things that you didn't mean, you had
to go away and wait for the strength
that came out of calm. Then you
had to start over again with the ad
vantage on the side of the other party.
There Is no good word to be said
for a temper tantrum. It costs you
health and power and friends and
happiness. It brings you nothing of
good. There is no reason for afflicting
yourself with it. Excusing yourself
by saying "I have a dreadful temper,
it runs in the family,” is a bad habit
of self-indulgence. Break it. Make
yourself smile at the first tremor and
repeat whatever charm you have
against it. Prayer is the best one.
Then set to work. The minute you
feel temper coming on repeat your
prayer and start to work with all your
might. A busy person holds on to his
temper, because his whole being is
under control. Yours, A. P.

A
Comes the Wedding Day
By’Emily Post.
(Continued from yesterday.)
AND now to continue with the
wedding. While the ushers
are escorting guests to theti
places, the bridegroom and his
best man arrive and wait to
gether in the vestry. The actual cere
mony then proceeds exactly as at the
rehearsal. At a formal town wedding,
or whenever there Is to be a large
reception at the house, the bride and
bridegroom lead the recessional, go di
rectly out of the church and drive to
the house But In many smaller com
munities, when there Is to be no recep
tion at the house, they often follow the
friendly and courteous custom of wait
ing at the back of the church in order
to receive the good wishes of the con
gregation as it passes out.
However, let us say that at the
wedding of our Easter bride there is
to be a fairly large reception at the
house. At this there are always two
separate receiving lines in the same
room. The shorter one comprises the
mother of the bride, who stand# near
the door or entrance, and next to her
the mother of the bridegroom. The
father of the bridegroom usually
stands beside his wife, but sometimes
he joins the father of the bride and
together they walk about among the
guests. (If the mother of the bride Is
dead, or absent, the father of the
bride necessarily receives in his wife's
place.)
* * * *
THE principal receiving line, which
always stands In front of an
effective background, is, of course,
that of the bride and bridegroom and
the bride's attendants, and no one
else ever. The order ff! which they
stand—no matter from which side
they are approached by the arriving
guests—is as follows: The bride on
the bridegroom's right and her maid
(or matron) of honor on her right,
and her bridesmaids, if only two,
stand beyond the maid of honor. But
If there are four or six or more, they
are divided, half standing In line be
yond the maid of honor and half
at the left of the bridegroom. The
question of where the bridal party
Is to stand Is naturally decided by
whichever wall of the room has the
longest space or Is otherwise best for
the purpose of decoration. In front
of the mantel, for example, is often
chosen because easily decorated with
flowers and greens. Or perhaps they
stand In front of the heavy curtains
drawn across a window, or if possible,
double windows, since the wider and
higher the drapery back of them, the
better.
As soon as every one at the re
ception has greeted the bride and
bridegroom the bridal party goes into
the dining room and sits down at a
bridal table, or they stand at a buffet,
or perhaps they merely crass the
room to where cake and sandwiches
and punch are spread on a card table.
In any event, there Is a wedding
cake, which the bride cuts, and she
and the bridegroom share the first
piece. After this the others present
cut themselves pieces.
* * * a
TP THERE is a bridal table tha
A order of seating is: Bride on
right of bridegroom, maid of honor
on bridegroom's lef%, best man on
right of bride and ushers and brides
maids alternately aro\jnd the rest of
the table. If the number is uneven,
girl friends of the bride make up for
lacking bridesmaids, or men friends
make tip for a lacking number of
ushers.
Whenever the bride’s or bridegroom's
attendants are married it is not
necessary that husbands and wives
be included In the bridal party,
; though they must, of course, be In
vited to the ceremony and reception.
In making preparations for a per
fect modern wedding the bride’s dress
is of the greatest Importance, since
it creates the bridal picture. The
dresses of the bridesmaids are of
next importance, next the wedding
cake and a certain amount of dec
oration, and the military sameness
of the ushers’ clothes; then, after
that, music if possible, and, last of
all, food.
At a big wedding there Is often
dancing. In this case the bride
dances with the bridegroom first and
then with others as they ask her.
The bridegroom dances with ’the
bridesmaids and perhaps with a few
other friends. After a little while
the bride holds up her bouquet as a
signal to her bridesmaids, who stand
at the foot of the stairs from which
she throws her bouquet as she goes
to change Into traveling clothes and
leave with the bridegroom on their
wedding journey.

The Old Gardener Says :
The growing of alligator pears
in the house Is becoming popular.
The plants are easy to handle,
thrive well in a sunny window
and grow rapidly. They are
started by taking the seeds from
an alligator pear purchased for -
the table, but care must be taken
not to cut into the seed when
the pear is opened. The best plan
to follow is to cut the pear from
the top. The seed should be
aUowed to dry for a few weeks
and then planted in an ordinary
flower pot. After that one must
wait patiently for the kernel to
sprout, which may require three
months or even more. One
should not be discouraged if no
sprout appears before six months.
When once started, growth wili
be rapid and within a year there
will be a window plant of large
size.

Widow’s Peak Technic
Young: Man Learns How to
Restore Hair Health.
BY LOIS LEEDS.
DEAR MISS LEEDS: I am a
girl 17 years old and would
like to know how to comb
my hair. I have a distinct
widow’s peak, which Is at
tractive. Would parting my hair in
the middle spoil this? My face is
not exceptionally long. I wore my
hair In bangs that were a mass of
fluffy ringlets, with my hair behind
my ears. This gave my face a long
appearance. I am now wearing my
hair parted in the middle and pushed
behind my ears, which makes my
face look round.
Second. Does chewing gum enlarge
your jaw bones?
Third. I have brown curly hair,
brown eyes ant' a medium complexion
r Please suggest some colors for me. I
i am very fond of brown and green. I
am five feet four inches tall, weigh
118. LOIS.
Answer—Since yours is a very dis
tinct peak, I think a center part would
not spoil the effect, but, of course, if
you comb your hair back without a
part, the peak will be even more evi
dent. The bangs hide the peak
entirely.
Second. I do not think that chew
ing gum will enlarge your jaw bones,
blit it will develop the muscles.
Third. Browns and greens are your
best colors, but you may also wear
yellow, rust, brick, medium and dark
blues, tan, orange and deep cream.
LOIS LEEDS.
Dear Miss Leeds: I am a young
man of 24 years, six feet one Inch tall
and weigh 168 pounds. I have very
large bones. What should I weigh
■ and how may I gain weight?
Second. I used to have thick blond
wavy hair, but now it Is dull, thin
and lifeless. Will lemon Juice brighten
dull blond hair?
Third. There are lines of fatigue
written on my face. I work in a
dangerous chemical plant. Could this
undermine my health?
DISCOURAGED.
Answer—The average .weight for
your age and height is 170 pounds,
but since you are of a large-boned
type, 180 would be better in your
case. I think It very likely that your
work with chemicals may be under
mining your health, making your hair
lusterless and causing the facial
creases. You should have a physical
examination by a doctor and talk
over your problems with him. It is
possible, of course, that there is some
other cause behind your physical de
terioration. Local treatments won't
do much for you until you have re
stored the vigorous health natural to
your age.
Second. If your hair is of the dry
type, give It a warm-oil treatment
once a week; leave the oil on at least
one hour, then shampoo with a white
liquid shampoo soap. Give your scalp
a got® massage while working up the
soap lather. Rinse out all the soap.
Now add the strained juice of one
lemon to a pint of w ater and pour this
over your hair. Catch it In a cup ai
it runs off and pour it over again until
all parts of your hair have been
reached. Leave the rinse on for 10
minutes, then wash it off In clean,
cool water and dry your hair. Mas
sage your scalp for 10 minutes each
day; brush it well twice a day.
Send me a stamped (3-cent! self
addressed envelope and ask. for my
leaflet, “Unhealthy Hair; Its Causes
and Cure.” Spray a little white bril
liantine on your hair dally to give It a
glossy look. Rub some scalp tonic Into
your scalp several times a week.
Third. Be sure to have sufficient
fresh air. rest, outdoor exercise and
well-balanced meals. Your doctor can
suggest ways in which you can coun
teract to some extent the 111 effects of
your work with chemicals.
My Neighbor Says:
Evergreens should be fertilised
with decayed manure and coarse
bone meal, dug into the soil to
enrich It.
Chintz spreads are lovely for
the Summer cottage or to give a
summery look to the apartment,
if you are spending the Summer
at home. Gay little flower de
signs are scattered over the sur
face of the chintz.
One-third whiting, one-third
plaster of paris (poison) and one
third flour, mixed with water
into a smooth paste are excellent
for filing small cracks in plaster.
