Lace Trimmings And SasheS For Summer

Along comes a season of lace that is so refreshing that it inspires the girl with clever fingers to do over many a waiting frock IS we'll as to apply the decoration to her newer frocks. You know what a sash does for a plain dress, don't you? Well, try the soft folds of lace one and see how much more that adds than a ribbon or a width of silk could ever do.
 Then for wide ends of sleeves, for pleated ruffles over tn eshoulders and about the cuffs of long sleeves. or the ends of short sleeves. for flouncing on the fancier afternoon frocks lace is invaluable.
 The custom of dyeing lace to match any given material Is one that has gained great headway. and for the major or the minor portions of spring and summer frocks this tinted lace has served a great end, filled large purpose. An old dress can be made infinitely attractive If it is taken to the dyer's with a sample of the il- lusive color that you may wish your new gown to be. Then, at the same time take with you a length. of new lace which you have bought in its white and natural state of being Have that tinted in the same dye pot to which the older gown Is subjcted anu tleTt VIII emerge the mateflal and the trimming for a new frock all tinted the selfsame tone. Now with a panel here and there of the lace. the best parts of the old frock can be used and there will emerge after the seamstress has finished a gown that has every semblance of being entirely new and that will give you every satisfaction that any brand new one could do--all for the price of dyeing and new length of lace
 A white chiffon frock, made over a black lace foundation Is one of the handsomest designs that the season has produced. and 1t is all the more charming because the black lace is allowed to fall three or four inches below the hem of the white skirt With this there is a transparently made black lace hat trimmed with a sweeping fold of white maline and q maline chou jutting away at one side side.
 Lace insertions on full silk skirts are all the rage. They usually run round and round, leaving varying de- grees of width of material between them. Then this lace Is repeated a bit on the bodice and the whole dress keeps it's fluffiness of apeparance without too much of trimming eff. feet.

DOMESTIC DAYS
By ROY L. M'CARDELL

"Migosh! I forgot all about this letter you game me the other day." began Mir. Jarr, as he brought 1t out crumpled from his pocket.
 "The other day" exclaimed Mrs Jarr. The other day! Why it was just week ago-I know it wasn't last Friday, because last Friday I had a woman in by the day helping clean house, and she never got here till after ten, and then sat down and ate up all the corned beef I had left over to make hash, and telling mo about her husband in the hospital, and she didn't half clean things"
 Well, I was going to say"-inter- rupter Mir Jarr.
 "Oh, don't say anything" said Mrs. Jarr. You've been carrying that letter in your pocket for a whole week, because it was last Wednes- day-no, Jet me see-was it Saturday or Tuesday?
 "It doesn't matter what day it was" replied Mr. Jarr, but if you want to know for sure it was day be- fore yesterday when you gave it to me-"
 q used to think it was a joke to read all those things in the comic papers about men forgetting to mail their wives letters. and yet it isn't the first time you have done this with mo, and it shows plainly how little you think of me and how little you care for me. It surely has placed me in a very embarrassing position." murmured Mrs. Jarr.
 I'm trying to tell you, if you only will let me"-began Mir. Jarr again. "Oh, yes, you can tell me anything if I'll only let you, and you think I'll believe it. Come to think of 1t now, 1 don't believe you did forget to mail it. I think you did it on pur- pose just so I wouldn't ask you to your pocket myself and told you not to forget to mail it, as it was most important"
 If you had told me who 1t was for when you told me you put 1t in my pocket it would have been all right" said MT. Jarr.
 T don't see that it was any of your business who it was for." re- piled Mrs. Jarr sharply. The fact remains you have been carrying 1t in your pocket for a month";"
 Since day before yesterday, you mean" said MT. Jarr. "and"-
 And never mind" interrupted Mrs. Jarr If it were only today I gave it to you. You didn't mall it, and that shows how little you think of any thing l aSK you to uo TOT IHe. u have mailed it myself only hadn't a stamp, and if I do go to the drug store to buy stamp the man is so ugly about it because Il don't deal with him, as l can do much better downtown"
 Now will you be so kind and let me explain" replied MT. Jarr, in a last attempt to be heard. You handed be d letter without a stamp day before yesterday, or, rather, you put it in the pocket of my coat. and when you told me it was there asked you casually who it was for and you told me it was none of my business" And it wasn't" said Mrs Jarr. Well" continued MT. Jarr, as you forgot to address 1t after sealing 1t, thought 1t best not to drop 1t in a letter box
 "Oh, well, it doesn't matter" said Mrs. Jarr. Tt was only some samples I was sending to my mother. and met her shopping yesterday and she said she didn't want them."

How To Play Auction Bridge.

Knowing What You WilLoSe

seven tricks you can make in the combined hands, thus warranting a bid of one.
 An original bid of one cor of two in d suit does not have to be counted in this way, but merely must con form to certain specifications here tofore given.
 The hand might count eight losers. but bid Of one could be correct if it be an original bid If next-in hand should bid, then the original bidder must count his losers before further increasing the contract. In this case, however, he can subtract his losers from nine instead of from eight, as his partner has promised certain cards by his raise.
 If the partner has raised twice, the original bidder can subtract his losers from 10 to ascertain the full strength of the combined hands.
 When an adverse suit bid has been made over an original no trump bid, the partner of the no trump bidder can count the value of his own hand bu subtracting his losers from Il in case he desires to bid a suit over the adverse bid. If, however, the part ner of the no trump bidder can stop the suit that has been bid adversely, he can bid no trumps. The iron-clad rule of bridge Is: "Never bid or raise no trump unless you have adver- sary's suit stepped"
 With a full understanding of the promises made by correct bids, the bidders partner can measure the strength of the combined hands. The partner will realize that bid of one on a suit means five cards of that suit in bidders hand. and for control of the trumps he must hold at in

 The above hand counts fer a two bid mathematically, but bid one and go up another, whether your part nor raises or not; if your partner raises, you can bid three mathemati cally. Be careful of your raisers, make them safety instead of Gillette" Pardon me, MT. Gillette, l don't get thing for this.
 The next lesson will be on the pre- emptive bids.

FOR GIRLS WHO
 WANT TO WRITE
Rx SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A vourg woman came to me the other day and wanted to know now she could get into the writing game.
 f"All my life 1 have wanted to write" she said, and now nave d chance to do it because l do not need ,,ioney am quite certain l can make good. if I only have the change. What she wanted to know was now she could "break in
 fThis is one of hundreds of young women from whom I have had re- uuests to tell them how to be writers and at various times in these columns have set forth what I deem to De common sense on this question.
 Now here is a young woman whose mother is in a very lucrative pus'- ness, and this daughter IS her prlh- cipal aid. They are making money s and getting along splendidly. It is a very fine enterprise, but thls young woman Is not satisfied with this sue cess. She has an idea that writing IS q 'nicer" business.
 I spoke to her something ike this as have to all others: "Go back to the thing you know and stick to it. and make it your aim to reach the very highest pinnacle in that work.
 would suggest that mothers and relatives discourage young women especially those who are getting along very well in some other profess sion, from choosing this one-writ- ing. One has but to look at the situ- ation to see at a glance the hazard and chance of becoming a writer that is, a successful one. Of course if one is writing for pleasure or pas time that Is another matter.
 For example, when you stop to think that in the city of New York there are some 6,000,0o0 people, and there are probably not 200 successful women writers. the ratio and the pos- sibility are readily seen.
 In the first place. a young woman who can write or will develop into a writer cannot be stopped by me or any one She vii do it in spite of herself because it is part of her, and she will suffer anything to attain the goal she seeks. She is the rare eX- ception and is found in the 200 men toned.
 She will send her stuff" to this and that editor. She will suffer and wait and write and rewrite. She will have ideas that other people have not thought about or new angles on life and living that are distinctly hers. Such girl will create de- mand for that which she has to give. Somewhere along the line some one will see it and appreciate it.
 She is not the young woman who just dabblcs in pen and ink and does her work just for fun, because she doesn't have to do it for 8 living. The truth is that the majority of those who do arrive really have to earn their bread. They do not choose their pro- fession. Their profession chooses them.
 Neither is successful writer she who is told by admiring friends how .lever her scribbles are and that fame awaits her-she has but to reach out. In word, the wouldbe writer is only she who has something to give, something the world wants to know about, whose incentive for writing is simply because she can't do anything else to satisfy herself.
 If l were young woman and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-05-20

thought I could write, I would look over all my talents and choose every one first to develop and select writ ing as the very last, because the chances are that the average girl can do everything else for which she seems to be gifted much better than she can write; and if she has chosen first writing as profession, the suf- fering that will be hers before she realizes it is not her vocation cannot be estimated.
 I would not say that writers are born and not made, since the best writers must needs go through con siderable grind and misery. Writing times without number is done against ones will and desire-a labor, indeed The much talked of inspiration that comes to writers sounds very beauti- ful.
 After all the brilliant thought, the fine idea, is born only because of long experience and the wearing hours spent grasping for them. Most of the time inspiration Is but per spiration and triumph is achieved by the sweat of the brain even as the la borer by the sweat of his brow.
 If you are succeeding in some other position, develop 1t to it's utmost and seek to write only as last resort and when nothing elese matters to you so much.

1 THE WIFE WHO LOVES
 BUT DOES NOT WORK

Are you the wife who loves, but does not work. or she who works but does not love? Or do you neither love nor work? Or are you one of those blessed ones among women who en- joy full and well-balanced career, combining labor and love. as most normal men do?
 Throughout the centuries, certain religions and social creeds have set aside women solely as a solace for men, vessel of love. They toiled not. neither did they spin, but were arrayed in glory to pamper to male indulgence in hours of relaxation. Some had bad legal standing, some had not. but the ideal was the same.
 There are modern defenders of the harem. as the ideal domestic exist ence. Pierre Loti. the French writer. extols it. Turkish ladies are pictured in the rose gardens and the Turkish baths and the idle picturesqueness of perpetual pleasure. Just why such gentle lizards basl<ing in the sun and purchased by the dozen by their mu- tual husband. have capacity to love more than the alert. active. intcllec- tual American woman. we cannot Iathom. Catering to him is their business. and they must be crafty and careful.
 But that is not love,
 Yet. as they do not work, the world assumes that they love much
 Now, modern folk resent this ori- ental ideal and insist that an up-to- date wife is hard woroking, produc- tive individual. We wonder! Do not you know many of your ac- ouaintances in our ultra moern city who are the prototype of the harem lady? Not in being forcibly secluded, hut In being useless and luxurious Even Main street has it's monogamic harems! They constitute the local aristocracy.
 Every wife who dwells in idIoness, contributing nothing to the world, either in domestic work. in house keeping. in child rearing, or in paid labor. but lives like parasite off her lord Is a sister to F'atima! It is in cumbent on her to cater to the whims of her master. who provides food and

has been made from the bread, pep tones. leucine and tyrosine have been made at the expense of the ham; fatty acids and glycerine at that of the butter: the mineral salts inn prisoned In the ham and the bread have been set free.
 All these substances are dialyzable Chat Is to say, they will pass through membranes). As fast as they are produced in the intestine they are absorbed by 1t and pass into the blood, by way of the innumer- able vessels situated In the intestinal wall. They are carried off by the circulating stream, to bear the ni- trogen. the carbon, the mineral salts to all the tissues and to furnish the m with material and energy.
 The intenstine reconstitutes foods, but 1t does not do 1t by haphazard, If we have eaten mutton fat, this is di- gested and split up into glycerine, etc. At the moment of absorption the intestine reconstructs the fat, pre- sents more of the biological charac- .teristics of mutton; it is human fat.
 The blood vessels which bathe the surface of the intestine and absorb the substances elaborated by the di- gestion unite in a single trunk, the portal vein; this passes directly into the liver. Thus everything which comes from the Intestine must pass through the liver before going on into the general circulation. That organ serves as a filter; 1t lets a certain quantity of nutritive sub stances pass, it holds back others.
 The fats avoid the liver, though sometimes they are stored up there.
 The digestcd albrmens pass through the liver. The salts, except Ton, do not stay there.
 On the contrary, the glucose com ing from the digestion of the starch and all the sugar remain in the liver; the glucose accumulates there under the form of substance with some of the properties of starch, glycogen or animal starch. Under this form the liver stores up all the glucose which arrives from the intestine and lets the necessary and sufficient quantity of sugar pass into the blood as it is needed by the body. To do this the liver gradually retransforms certain quantity of glycogen back into glucose.
 Thus the liver is a regulator of the balance of sugar in the body. If the working of the liver is interfered :-tth this regulation ceases to take place.
