Answers to CORRESPONDENTS,

A Daily Reader asks lis II proper
for a mother to go into deep mournins
for child seven years old? I loved my
child very dearly and ! have seen nc
other way to keep his memory sacred
but people tell me II Is uncalled for"
II were you would pay no attention
TO what people say about that Your
love and your grief for your children are
symbolized by the black garb. Many
people do not wear mourning now be-
cause II has been made a show and a
parade by those who felt no real sor-
row. but when there is a deep grief such
as yours, one feels that the black dress
is almost the only way to sho~ regard
for those We have loved and lost.
Mrs. r. p. d. writes: My little girl
does not care to play. but is always
wanting to be reading. Ought I to take
her books away from her and send her
out to play?"
You should insist upon her taking
plenty Of exercise. Dissipation In read
ing Is as bad as any other form OF
dissipation. but be thankful that your
child has a love Of books. Do not Gis-
courage that.

ECONOMY CALENDAR
KEEPING SILK CLEAN.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

This is a season Of siIk-and velvet and
fur.
Fur has to be cleaned at a furrier's
or cleaners. Velvet-well, It IL better
not to try to clean velvet. either, I'M
less you are an experienced cleaner.
And both velvet and fur, which are
usually worn in darker colors. keep
out. So silk is the only fabric of the
season that We must worry ourselves
about.
Silk. Of whatever sort, wears longer
than it stays clean. But fortunately
all sorts OF silk can be easily and sat
isfactorily cleaned at home.
Taffeta, still the leading silk of the
season. can be thoroughly cleaned by
a dip in gasoline. The secret is to
have plenty of gasoline. Have a bowl
full in which to wash the silk and an
other in which to rinse 1t. The rims
ing gasoline may DE poured into q bot
tie and. after the sediment has settled
to the bottom. poured OF for washing
next time. Always use fresh gasoline
for rfnsing.
Immerse the silk in the gasoline and
agitate It gently. Press II with the
hands, but do not rub it between the
knuckles.
When It seems clean-you can usu-
ally tell when this is by looking at
the Items, at the sleeves about the
hands and at other parts that would
naturally be much soiled-lift II from
the gasoline and let II drip as dry as
possible. holding It above the bowl of
gasoline. Then plunge 1t into the fresh
ga soline and rinse II. Lift It out and
let the gasoline drip again. Don't
wiring It. When the surplus gasoline
has dripped off. shake the garment
over an opened newspaper, SO that
whatever drips will be caught instead
of falling on the carpet-although II
would probably not hurt the carpet
Shake it gently until a good deal of
the gasoline is evaporated. then hang
on a hanger in the shade to air and
dry.
Always remember to remove dress
shields before washing a frock in gas
oline. The gasoline dissolves the rub
Der in them and so destroys them,
The day after washing a frock in
gasoline. press II! It Is well to let the
gasoline thoroughly evaporate before
doing this. II the dress is shaken and
allowed to drip dry. instead Of befns
wrung out, it will not be wrInkled in
the cleaning process.
Most silks can be washed In soap
and water. White silks should always
be washed in only lukewarm water, as
hot water makes them yellow. wash
silks of the regulation variety should
be ironed while wet to give the best
results. Pongee and rajah silk should
be perfectly dry before they are
ironed.

New York, Oct. a.-It is rumored that
one of the Sir Galahads who reviews the
drama for New York newspaper is
taking LESSONS In dramatic construction
from Prof. Clayton Hamilton. He is
a local Aristotle who spawns play

AS SEEN BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN
THE SURE ROAD TO GLORY.

II is the people who suffer for q
cause that gain glory.
A nurse may work for lifetime
among the poor in a hospital and no
body hears of her. She elopes with
doctor, and she gains few sticks
on the first pages of the newspapers
of her town. But she contracts
some unusual disease from one of her
humble patients, and her praises are
sung throughout the land. Thou
sands of other nurses run the same
risk, show the same bravery, but
they gain no fame.
And so with a soldier. He volun-
tcers to fight. He fights. He goes
through all the horrors of war. He
suffers the torments of cold and hun
ger and thirst But he comes through
with a whole skin, not because he
lacks bravery but because he is
lucky. And nobody but his own fam
lily and friends hear about him, and
even they, sometimes, don't give him
the praise and homage they would
give him if he had happened to fall
from an aeroplane and break most of
the bones in his body.
King Georges horse got scared
by the shouts of the soldiers, and
slipped and fell in the mud. Unfor-
tunately the King fell under the
horse. Unfortunately? When King
George sat his horse at the review,
he was just King George to the thou
sands of soldiers who filed past him
When he lay under his horse, not
badly wounded, 70 be sure, when he
was whizzed past them, smiling and
white, in an automobile on the way
to the hospital, he was a hero.
The soldiers were glad he had been
hurt at the front. If his horse hadn't
become frightened, if the ground
hadn't been wet and slippery, King
George would be the same man that
he is today But his soldiers wouldn't
have had the satisfaction of hailing
him a hero, injured doing his sacred
duty.

tication, arc We still world of hero

some distinction as a singer. But nova

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
By MARY MARSHALL
November 1-Albani; Frances
Whitcher.

Woman has. proverbially. little sense
of humor. But now and then a famous
woman comes along to upset this
theory-or perhaps to prove 1t by ex-
ception.
Frances whitcher is one of thes,
women, for she made her name re-
membered as a humorist.
She was born November /. 1911, in
whitestone, N. Y. Her father gave
personal attention to her education
which was thorough and. for her day
well rounded. She was naturally q
clever child. and before she was three
years old. she could repeat long verses
of poetry
From babyhood. too, she had a keen
sense of humor, and as soon as she
could handle a piece of charcoal she
used to be the terror of the neighbor-
hood, for she would caricature every
body that came within sight In
school. too-and she was sent to schoo
at the approved age of four-she was
prone to spend almost as much time
covering her slate and copybook with
caricatures OF her companions as she
gave to her studies; but as she was
clever there was plenty of time LEFT
for the lessons.
Marie Emma Lajeunesse was born
near Montreal also on November 1.
When a mere child she went to Al
bany, n. Y, to live with her parents.
and became well-known as a girl for
her remarkable voice. She sang on
certain occasions at the Catholic Ca
thedral in Albany. where she attracted
so much attention because OF her I'm
usual talent that the citizens banded
together and raised a fund sufficient
to send her abroad for a musical edu-
cation. When, several years later. she
made her debut at Messina, Italy, she
adopted the name Albani. in honor of
the city where she had first found
recognition and encouragement. She
sang successfully in Florence, st.
Petersburg. London, and American
cities. In 1873 she was married TO
Mr.. Ernst Gye.
