~ MES appearance, no matter
what the calling, is unqucs-

soul. Yet. how slovenly are many
OF our housewives! Daily many
interview the butcher or the
baker or the candlestick maker
calling for an order, clad In any
sort OF a makeshfft dress.
It is no wonder that many
housewives grow weary. They
go about the most strenuous
tasks in ill-fitting shoes. And
often the stocking with too many
holes to warrant mending is the
kind worn within the sacred pre-
cincts of the home.
No wonder these women be-
come Disguised with their lot. If
you are telling that way, instead
Of putting all the money you
plan to spend for your out.of.the-
home show clothes, just try the
effect Of some really attractive,
comfortable homework clothes.
For. instance, look at the in
expensive, comfortable corset the
shops are showing for house
workers who necessarily must do
much bending. Look at a pair of
comfortable, broad-toed, low, rub
ber-heeled, high.laced, ankle-sup-
porting shoes. Look at a. pretty

and his daughter had been on
terms Of tender intimacy. In his
absorption in the business with
which he hoped to provide for his
child's future he was unconscious
ly teaching her to be independent
of his companionship.
Therefore. when the funeral
services were over, Winifred Scott
found herself looking forward with
something almost like curiosity to
the life ahead OF her. OF course,
she would continue to live in this

ment between the United States and
Great Britain on the funding Of
Britain's $4,000, 900 900 war debt.
While It has been generally sup
posed that this matter was all settled
the fact is II has been hanging fire.
and only today the British ambassador
here sent to his government the last
word" Of the United States on GER
tain changes desired by the British
government in the agreement.
Technical Changes
These changes have to DO in part
with the bonds that the British gov
eminent is to issue to these govern
ments. The changes Britain seeks
are technical and relative. but 10
tho treasures IF the two governments
they are important and 10 talk dis
agreement about them might conceiv -
ably endanger the whole situation.
Baldwin, It was recalled here today
by treasury officials. was in the main
responsible for getting his govern
ment's approval on the debt settle
ment's main terms. He, in fact. went
to the mat" with Bonar Law about it.
and argued that FOR number Of
reasons. not the least Of which was
American British friendship. the Brit
fish government could not afford to re-
fuse to sanction the arrangement
reached at Washington

His selection was received in official
circles here today with qualification
Baldwin is regarded here as new
type OF British prime minister type
which, political observers believe, will
be seen more and more in the van OF

may be expected to apply to govern
ment some Of the same rules he would
apply TO business. His selection marks

Is giving Henry Ford his great
strength among the masses of voters
Baldwin, officials here believe, will
not quibble over details of the debt
settlement. but will put It into effect
promptly and begin paying Off the
British obligation.
