HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
By FRANCES MARSHALL.
Saturday Pienics.

As soon as spring weather comes Satur-
day picnics should be a part of every
school childs' life; that is to say. Satur-
days should be given over to entertain
ment and recreation out-of-doors. In the
colder weather, too, II is possible to
have outdoors fun on Saturdays. But
outdoors picnics are not quite in order.
An indoors picnic party therefore proves
OF great interest to the youngsters. and
would make a very good sort OF birthday
entertainment
The whole idea should be to make the
indoors picnic as much like a real picnic
as possible.
To begin with, make the house look
as much like outdoors as you can. Have
palms and ferns about, II you have any,
and fill in the gaps with green crepe
paper. A few dead branches OF trees,
with bits OF green paper for leaves and
pink paper for blossoms will transform
any room into a veritable dell in the
woods. And several little hooks and
crannies fitted up in this way will de-
Hight the childish hearts for whom the
picnic is given.
The children may all come in costume,
II desired-in scouts suits or Indian suits
or any other outdoor suits they may
possess.
Outdoor games may be played, il pos
given should be emptied, as much as
possible. Of brcakables, so that ''be care
fur need not be spoken too often. And
puss-ln-the-Corner. blindmans bun, tag
and other simple outdoors games may
safely be played.
OF course. the lunch is the important
part Of any picnic.
It should be packed in tiny baskets or
boxes. one for each child. Paper nap
kins and paper plates should be used.
and paper cups may be used for water
or lemonade. proper picnic beverages.
In each lunch box there should be
several sandwiches, an olive or two. a
couple Of cakes or cookies. and ticket
for ice cream. The children will find
great fun in presenting the ice cream
tickets for redemption in the dining
room
II prizes are given for any of the games
or competitions. they might appropriately
be bird or flower books, garden tools or
something else to do with the outdoors.

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER.
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
February s-Lady Jane Dsvy.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Lady Jane Davy, famed for her social
charm. wealth and beauty. was the wife
Of Sir Humphrey Davy, natural philoso-
pher and scientist And Il IL perhaps

band. who before his marriage TO her.
had held rank and society. II not in con-
tempt at least in disregard, aclnov-
ledged charms in them which, he said.
had escaped him before he knew her.
Lady Jane was not only rich and beau
tiful; she was highly intelligent, as well.
and took a great interest IN her famous
husbands work. Moreover, she was
linguist Of ability, she was widely read.
and she had a real knowledge Of Roman
antiquities. Still more, she was able to
manage her own large fortune, and she
was made sole executor OF Sir Hum
phrey's fortune at his death. She was
friend OF many of the celebrities of her
day, among them the poet Tom Moore
and the French wit, Madame de Steel
and she was distantly related to Sir
Walter Scott
She was the daughter Of Charles Kerr.
of Relso, and was both beautiful and
rich as a young girl. She met Sir Hum
phrey Davy after the death Of her first
husband, Ashby Apreece, and he was i'm
mediately attracted to the talented and
charming widow. whose drawing rooms
were already the meeting place for half
the world in London.
1t is an interesting comment on Lady
Jane Davy that when she met Michael
Ferrady, then struggling and poor
young student. later one of the greatest
OF the worlds scientists, she fairly
snubbed him. thinking him merely one
Of her husbands eccentric and unim-
portant friends

Tow many times has an i'll
hammered person been apol-
= ogetically pointed out as a
rough diamond sans setting. "His
manners are bad, but he has a good
heart" they say of him. Kindness

When you meet him he is almost
uncouth in his greeting, boorish in
his conversation, but his reputation is
charitable is a rough diamond.
To know that one is diamond hearted
compensates for a great deal-but a
little polish goes long way.
Whether we come from aristocratic
lineage or not, we can be aristocrats
within ourselves. All women should
cultivate gentle voices and gentle
women's manners. 1t serves them
we'll, and how much more considera-
ton they receive from men.
Around a studio you can find al
most every type OF girl, from the re-
fined to the girl of the streets. She
who is loud mouthed, coarse and vul-
gar never draws herself away from
the lowest position in pictures-she is
called a professional extra girl. We
were all extras once, but the ambi-
tious girls speed onward and never
allow themselves to stand still.
Some of the girls cheaper their ap-
pearancc by wearing garish clothes,
as they try to initiate Fifth avenue
women by copying their gowned elc-
gance in tawdry materials.
The other evening l sat behind two
girls and as l stared at the backs of
their heads l felt that l could read
the character of their faces. Do you
know why? Because their pretty
hair was not only done in outlandish
coiffures, but was bedecked with
rhinestone combs and large butter
fly barettes. Two aisles in front of
them, | could see delicately-molded
little head, her hair coiled simply at
the nape of the neck. | met this girl
few days later and told her was
glad she had come to work in our
Studio, for l had liked her the min
ute l set eyes upon her!
All during the first act, my ladies
of the COMBS" as l styled them,
chartered incessantly. l endured it
until the middle of the second act,
when | found it necessary to lean
over and quietly ask them not to talk
during the performance. Both girls
they utter after brief apology.
