Impression Without Expression.

When one of the Y. w. c. A. secre-
taries said day or so ago that Wash
;ngton women were in great danger OF
impression at the expense of express
sion it seemed to me that she hit the
nail on the head.
Here in this city that is in reality
the nucleus Of the nation we nave but
to 60 few blocks to hear any side
of any public question discussed and
expounded by leaders on public
thought. 1t is a fact that few Wash
ington residents do avail themselves
of the privilege of attending sessions
of Congress, but Congressional de-
bates are ours to hear if we will. We
need never bulge beyond the walls OF
our own city to hear all that there is
to hear on suffrage, peace, prepared
ness, or politics of any description. In
very deed we are in far greater
danger of being lectured to death
than of thirsting for knowledge.

passed her early days in community
where speakers and lecturers came
but seldom, where it was a treat in
deed to be able to hear any speaker

started to take in" everything that
she heard of. When Emma Goldman
came to talk on socialism she was in

with the crowd to gain admittance.
She never missed a chance to hear
Mr.. Bryan when he was Secretary of
State. She goes to peace conferences
and conferences on preparedness, suf-

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
November 27-Mme. de Maintenon,
Mary Robinson, Margaret Lang.
BY MARY MARSHALL

OF the three most celebrated birth
day patrons of November q, two were
kings favorites and one was a cele-
brated composer-Mme. de Maintenon,
Mary Robinson and Margaret Lang.
Nine. de Maintenon was perhaps the
most remarkable woman of the age Of
Louis XIV. Born in prison in 1896.
walton and suffered all through her
girlhood and early married life the
humiliation of dependence. She finally
attracted the attention of the king
when she became the governess Of
his crippled son. Her letters to the
king regarding the son charmed him
and so the friendship came about
Perhaps no kings favorite ever en-
joyed such complete and lasting influ-
ence over a great monarch as did
Nine. de Maintenon, and ssrely no
woman of her class ever showed
greater wisdom or discretion in exer-
cising her influence. There seems to
be no doubt of her marriage with the
king after the death of his lawful
queen, although the fact of this mar
riage was kept as a profound secret
throughout the life of the king.
Mary Robinson was born in Bristol.
England, 175S. She was amazingly
precocious and early displayed dra-
matte ability of no mean order. Like
Mime. de Maintenon her childhood and
girlhood were passed in poverty. Aft
er having helped her mother in con-
Quoting a small school she managed
to spend a few years at a finishing
school, where the dancing master in
troduced her to David Garrick, who
recognized her abilities and promised
to put her on the stage. Her mar
rage at this time postponed her
debut and this was further delayed
by a ten months retirement with her
husband in the debtors prison. Again
Garrick took interest in her and I'M
der his tutelage she appeared as

attention from men of rank and
wealth, among them the Prince of
Wales. 1t was when she was appear

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL
HOW ARE YOUR HOUSE PLANTS7

Perhaps moisture is the first re-
quisite for the health of house plants.
For that reason the first days when
the furnace heat is on are the hardest
days for the plants They have only
recently been brought in from out-of-
doors, and they have not yet got used
to indoor air. Added to this comes
the sitting dryness of artificial heat
and no wonder many of them turn
up their roots and die
1t is. OF course. quite possible to make
the air suitably moist for most house
plants. To begin with. keep a dish
Of water on all radiators. A small
brass bowl may be used to hold this
water. and so IL will not be at all
unsightly
Then sprinkle the plants carefully.
always being sure to keep the leaves
free from dust. as this clogs the pores
II is bad thing to give them too
much water. But a daily sprinkling
OF light sort is a good thing for
most OF them. Some things-Iike
chrysanthemums. for instance-should
be watered less frequently. About
once a week let all the plants dry out
Too much moisture makes the roots
rot.
The best way to water the plants Is
10 place them in the bathtub and then
water them gently with a small spray
hose of the detachable sort with cool
water.
Aphis is the most troublesome OF all
plant pests in the house. and the best.
perhaps the only. way to eliminate
1t is to get TO work when II first ap-
pears. Use kerosene and soapsuds ap-
piled carefully with a spray or rub
bed over the stems and leaves with
a cloth Or try just plain, very strong
white soapsuds.
Geraniums are the standard indoor
plant and quite rightly. They are
durable. II takes a good deal to kill
them. Begonias. too. are easily TO
keep healthy and they bloom continu-
Ously. Petunias. too. make a brave
indoors showing and can be raised
without undue trouble
Remember that plants need air al
most as much as they need water On
every day excepting those when a cold
storm RACES. let fresh air into the
room where the plants are kept Don't
OF course. let the air blow directly on
the plants. but see that the air Of the
room is changed. On really mild.
sunny days give the plants much air.
Sunshine. too. is essential to their
health. Turn the pots every day so
that all sides get the benefit of the
sun Ferns do not need so much sun
as other plants. but they crave air
and light. and little sun is good for
them.

Have you observed that the Ger

German gown met with their patriotic
to be sure. But when they
thought it over, and compared the
possibilities of such a costume with
the graceful subtleties of the costume
of Gallo inspiration \ they simply
couldn't do it.
High-heeled shoes, pumps, flmy
hosiery, jaunty millinery, and other
so-called "frippery" had no part in the
truly German fashion. Can you won
