LITERATURE IN MODERN SEAM


No European literature suffered
more than the Spanish from the ri
gid optimist grin that ovcrsproad
the novel in the nineteenth century.
From the time when the ByronIe
outburst that had followed the fail
urc of the first revolution had eva
poratcd in tears and pistol shots to
the late nincticS, everything was
good humor, taste, mad gcntility. a
writer was Il wcll-brcd person in a
stock who hurst no ones feelings
and told comical stories cnlivencd
with an occasional tear for the ben
eft Of prosperous merchants and
the clerks and wives. Facetousncss
and genre were the kcynotcs. The
genial faulty of the novels of Val,
dies and Juan Valera is almost in
credible. A tremendous epic SENSE
of events hardly saved Galdos from
the same doldrums. 1t took the en-
tire police court docket of murder
rape and lunacy to wipe the smil,
off the face of Echcgaray. Funnily
enough it was the sugar trust and
"Rcmcmber the Maine" that first
shattered the complacent dream OF
order and progress. The jolt of tn,
disasters of the war brought new
generation into consciousness. This
was the famous generation Of '9S
men who read German and English
and forgot to go to mass. and wh'
started about everything that is go
ing on in thought and writing il
Spain today. A half dozen of Baro

Modern Lace Curtains.

Lace curtains" What sort of pic
ture does that phrase suggest to you,
wonder. To me, until a few weeks
ago. 1t meant those dreary old
draped-back lengths of a coarse ma
terial known as Nottingham" and
would as soon have thought Of hav-
ing lace curtains in my home as I
would OF indulging in what-nots.
Tides or wax flowers under glass,
For long time we women have
been furnishing our windows with
simpler materials. Plain nets, voiles.
chintzes, drapery silk and soft Japanese
crepes have dropped their straight,
pliable lines at either side of our
windows. and there is no doubt that
the interiors of our homes have been
enormously improved in appearance
by curtains which harmonized with
the furnishings of our rooms. AS to
the exterior. perhaps the less said the
lowered cretonne in another. pongee
in third and ruff1ed muslin in a
fourth is enough to make any house
resemble a kaleidoscope. That the
windows. should be uniform in ap-
pearance is manifestly beautiful and
harmonious. but few women wish to
use in their living rooms the same
curtains they have in their bed
rooms.
To meet this need of uniform ex-
terror appearance combined with the
dignity and appropriateness of diff
ferent rooms, the new and lovely
lace" curtains have been evolved. In
many cases they cover the sash fatty,
without fullness, especially in rooms
where privacy is desired. Filet net
woven In rich design is used for many
purposes. French doors and windows,
windows exposed to a city street, hall
doors and other openings at the front
of the house are entirely covered, yet
light and air are not excluded
Shadow nets, pattern scrims. delicate
voiles with drawn-work and inserts
In simple designs and marQuisettes
are all attractive for bedroom case
ments. even when the more elaborate
filets are employed downstairs.
In the sketch today, living-room
windows opening directly on to a
city street are covered with fat pan
els OF filet lace. with scalloped fringe
at the bottom. Drawn tightly over
the panes, the pattern shows at its
best. handsome both from within and
without. Over the lace panels hang
side draperies which bring the win
dows into harmony with the furnish
ings OF the room.

time in bemoaning the passage of
good. old fashioned mastodon stews
as the passage of sweet. old fash
ioned girls who stayed at home while
papa paid their bills. That era of
the worlds industrial history has
passed, as surely as the mastodon.
The majority of the working women
are not working for frivolous, greedy
ends. Cold. unsentimental agencies
like the Rockefeller Institute and the
Department of Labor have discovered,
after exhaustive inquiry, that the ma
jority or women are working that
they or their children may eat.
But they take the jobs from men,
cry the indignant masculine laborers
and the SNUG home women who do
not need to work.
Yes, they take the jobs from men.
Just as one man who needs to eat
takes a job from another man who
needs to eat. I'm not saying it's a
pretty argument, or that it's good for
women or the race in general But
as long as human life is planned
along business lines instead of hu-
manitarian lines, just so long is the
economic pressure going to increase,
and just SO long will women work
in increasing, numbers. The women
do not cause that situation. They
are merely the victims, as men are
the victims. And the misery will
never be cured by one victim throw
ing stones at another.

There is a tradition regarding the
origin of this family name of the sort
that is often met with an attempt to
explain it by a fanciful story woven
around the apparent elements of
which the name is supposed to be
compounded.
This tradition has it that a certain
with bull, in which he finally con-
quered, explained laconically that he
had met a calf"
Actually the family name of Met
calf is one of those which have been
adopted as indicative of the localities
in which the first bearers of the sur
names lived. And it's origin is traced
to Wales.
The original Metcalfs were dwellers
''the valley of the church" in the
Cymric tongue.
In the Welsh the word ''medd'' in
dicates a valley, more specifically a
little vale, and .'caf" means variously
cell, chancel or little church. If
the ancient form had been adhered to
in the development of the name,

Anglicized form, the name today
might more properly be spelled
"Medcaf"

BEAUTY CHATS
Face Treatments.

Face treatments should be varied to
suit the individual woman. One
woman I know who is an expert in
facial massage says that no two of
her customers can ever be treated
alike. Nervous women. for instance,
have such dry skins that a fairly
heavy type of massage cream must
be used, and about twice the ordinary
amount worked in. Very little as
tringent should be used. Women with
oily complexions need very little
cream, but must get the benefit OF the
treatment almost entirely through
the massage, and a great deal of as
tringent is necessary for them.
Now, let me describe q delightful
face treatment which you cannot give
to yourself. 1t is a high frequency
cold cream massage. Hot cloths are
first held over the skin in the usual
fashion, then the masseuse puts the
handle of the high frequency ma
chine in your hand, first, however
coating the skin thickly with cream
Then, while she holds her fingers
against the skim an assistant turns
on the current.
