The GrOOm'S
Friends
Are Many Times
at a Disadvantag ge

All wedding gifts are sent to
the bride, and friends of the
groom are placed in an awk-
ward position many times.
} 1t is the brides taste that
will furnish the home and it is
sometimes difficult to send
gifts to one whom you have
never met.
1t becomes, therefore, quite
a problem to know what will
please her. Personal gifts are
out of the question. Silver is
always most acceptable, but
perhaps you wish to spend
more than single piece costs
and less than a service would
! come to-we can supply gifts
at most any price that will be
} useful and pleasing to the
most discriminating.
How often do you clean
! your extra silver? Would it
be worth soc a year to you to
J know that the next time you
have party that your silver
will be as bright and clean as
the day you put it away. If
so, let us show you our

More Printed Gowns for
Girls.

II one may Judge by the costumes 8
worn by the hundreds OF young girls
who pass UP and down F street every
afternoon, the Egyptian type of long,
narrow dress, with gay-colored de-
signs running all around every inch
Of the costume Is the winner for
popularity during the month of July.
The coyly, simple dotted voile frock.
with three rows of lace as apology
for sleeves, Is a close second. Chinese
and other oriental styles are also
popular.
In view of this, it is particularly
interesting to note that in the fall,
according to New York forecasts Of
fashion, we will still have the printed
frock with US. but by that time. 1t is
predicted. the gypsy patterns and de-
signs from Sweden will be the lead
ing motifs for these printed gowns.
1t seems that the old Bohemian, Ru-
manian and Hungarian peasant en-
broideries. which had a short vogue
here in imported blouses last fall, will
provide the celorings and designs for
most Of the new printed silks. The
Swedish designs, still more of a nov
city with American designers, will
include adaptations OF scenery along
the giant fjords with little sheep
running in and out of meadows below
towering mountains or goats eating
grass and flowers on the mountain
sides. Even old-fashioned kings and
queens will be depicted on some of
these Scandinavian prints.
All in all, 1t looks as though equally
colorful fall and winter styles will
follow the brilliant summer fashions.

This column is conducted under the
auspices OF the District of Columbia
branch Of the National Congress of
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions.
The greatly increased interest In
parent-teacher work in the District
of Columbia Is due largely, to two
factors. First. we have learned the
value of organization in order to ac-
complish any purpose whatsoever,
and, second, we realize that teachers
and parents, the two great educa-
tional forces. must get together every
where, study the needs OF childhood
home processes to those needs.
The work of every department in
the organization shows the truth Of
this and that the needs of childhood
are being carefully studied. Many of
our parent-teacher associations are
making a great effort to have the
school buildings equipped with cleo
tricity before september, as there has
been a great deal of poor eyesight
and nervousness developed among our
school pupils. due almost entirely to
the poorly lighted rooms in which
they are compelled to study. Another
need which Is becoming more and
more apparent is the great need for
dental clinics. especially In the north
east and southwest sections of the
city. A large percentage of our pu-
pills have defective teeth and many
their health IL the teeth do not re-
ceive attention. The three clinics for
the white school children can only
care for a few of them and the need
for more clinics Is very great. The
District of Columbia Congress OF
Mothers and Parent-Teacher Associa-
tions passed a resolution at the last
meeting urging the health officer to
include at least two new dental clinics
in his budget for the coming year.

Progressive Women.
OF the Philippines

When Josefa Llanes, the twent-
ty-two-year-ol Filipino girl, was
in Washington a couple of months
ago, to attend the conference of
the National Association of Social
Welfare Workers, she made an indeli-
BILE impression with her personal
beauty and charming manner and her
leveI-headed extemporaneous address
on the work and hopes of her country.
She is studying social welfare work
in New York.
Even more recently word comes
from Chicago that 'Consuelo Valdez,
, studying in this country, has won the
second prize in the annual oratorical
contest at Northwestern University.
These are but two examples of the
| ambitious young women of the Philip
pines, type that is predominant in
the islands and as interesting as the
modern American girl.
The girls and women of these
! islands are working hard, not only
in their own interests as women, but
in their national interests. The Fill
pino woman is interestingly sketched
commission, which says:
"The Filipino woman is a strong
and dominating influence in every
home and community. She is modest,
loyal and hard working, and, while
not much in evidence, she is; never
theless, always to be reckoned with.
\ She is the strong, conservative infiu-
| ence which keeps together the home,
| saves the money and is the founda-
| tion OF the success OF many families.
| The establishment of large numbers
of womens clubs that concern them
selves with hygiene and other civic
| matters Is most encouraging sign
| of the times,
I Incidentally, according to the latest
issue of the Philippine Press Bulletin,
| new woman's club has been organ
| lied recently in Manila that promises
to be one of the. largest. II Is the
National League of Filipino Women.
| having for its principal object the
obtaining of Philippine independence.
This club, which already has a MEM
| bership of more than 800 women, has
| as president Mrs. Maria Paz Mendoza
Cuazon. doctor of medicine and di-
rector Of women in the University of
the Philippines.

Speaking Cosmetically

The day of the young girl with the
very red round spots on her cheek
bones and the snow-white mountain
of her nose lying between these fam
ing spots seems, fortunately, to be at
last definitely on the wane. Girls in
this malarial climate still utilize the
many varieties of cosmetics available,
but they are becoming more artistic
in the application and also somewhat
more discreet in the amount used.
Still, however, there Is one phase
to their making up" that is grossly
neglected and gives constant glaring
evidence of that fact This fault il
mentioned in q recent article pub
lished in several papers and dictated
by Pola Negri, the vivid young Euro
pean movie star, who has recently
been transplanted to our rich soil.
Says Miss Negri apropos of this mat
ter:
'Tt is surprising how many we'll
eroomed women neglect the back Of
their necks. Yet this Is one Of the
most exposed portions Of their anat-
omy. 1t should be powdered with
the same care as the face. There Is
nothing more shocking than a yellow
neck
Miss Negrfs suggestion might
equally well apply to the front as
we'll as the back Of the neck, for
many girls and women do not seem
to realize the distinct change in color
right at tho jaw line which separates
the carefully powdered white face
from the sunburned neck of much
darker hue.

Sentimental Sally.

There was a girl in our town
(She wasn't wondrous wise)
But how she did enjoy
To sentimentalize.
She raved about the heroes
In movies who said "Bally"
And rolled soft eyes from out the
screen
At Sentimental Sally.
II love TO go to dances
And dance to jazzy tunes;
like to go canoing
On ripply, wide lagoons:
And best OF all. to linger where
The shadows softly daily
And talk about the moonlight
Said Sentimental Sally.
She liked to look at pictures
OF Broadway scenes and fights
OF desert island natives.
But, chief of her delights
Were tangled tales of true love.
Her sympathy would rally
Afresh to every love scene
Sweet, Sentimental Sally.
She used to read the fairy tales
And dream of noble knights
Come riding up to WOO her.
MY boy friends are 'frights,'
So crude and coarse" said she,
Their manners never tally
With the hero of my day dreams"
Poor, Sentimental Sally).
But, finally, she did grow up
And found this world a place
OF interesting adventures.
And, such being the case,
She married a homely chap
With a nice grin. named OMalley.
And lived happy, ever after,
Did Sentimental Sally.

Regarding Colored
Shoes and Bootblacks

1t Is necessary for a bootblack of
today to be a skillful artist with a
distinct eye for the difference in the
many shades of tan, blue, red, green
and yellow that comprise the color
ingss of the popular perforated foot
wear OF the girl of today. A color
blind bootblack is about as useful In
the shoe-shine parlor where milady
goes for a shine as a deaf telephone
operator at a switchboard.
Real skill Is required to handle the
rainbow pastes and fluids with dex-
terity and neatness. Because of this
many shoe-shine parlors refuse to
even attempt to clean these shoes and
others advocate dry cleaning. All in
all, the advantages of colored shoes
50 brighten up the, sultry summer
streets have their counterbalancing
disadvantages. We wonder If the
maidens of Cleopatra's day had such
troubles, too.
It has been suggested that this may
pc the reason SO many of those girls
went barefoot.

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

DENELoPE, originated from the
Greek word meaning weaver" fs
a euphonious name for girls that is
exceedingly popular in England and
is also favored among the girls Of
the United States. Among the an
clent irish the name was much used,
as spinning was popular accom-
plishment, and whenever a woman or
girl won distinction for her spinning
or weaving she was called Penelope,
only the Irish form of the name was
considerably different. The old Irish
versions of Penelope include Finn
ghualas. Finnghualy, Fenella and
Nuala
The emblem for Penelope is, nat
urally. the spinning wheel, and her
sentiment is faithful unto DEATH"
wort" also called St Bernard's flower.
1t is a delicate little blue blossom
when grown in its native soil, but
when cultivated the blossoms are
frequently TSu Of a reddish-purple shade.
Greek girl, daughter of Icarios and
Periboea who, when she reached
womanhood. possessed such extraordi-
nary beauty that she had scores of
suitors. Her father promised her
Ulysses, also called Odysseus, won,
and his beautiful bride accompanied
him to Ithaca With other things.
Penelope was noted for her skill as
a weaver.
During the twenty years that
Ulysses was absent during the Trojan
war she had new frocks of suitors.
who tried to convince her that her
husband was dead. She promised a
decision when a web which she was
weaving should be completed This
was the famous Penelope's web, which
she worked on industriously in the
daytime before her admirers and url-
raveled what she had done in the
day at night when no one was near
to see. Finally driven to decide def
nitely. she promised to marry the
winner In an archery contest Ulysses
returned home in time to hear the
story and. disguised. he took part in
the contest and won It,
Penelope was the mother of Tele-
machus and is generally considered to
have also been the mother Of the
demi-god Pan.
Among famous historical characters
of this name is the charming and ac-
complished Penelope Devereaux,
Countess of Devonshire. who was sis
ter to the second Earl of Essex. Both
Lady Penelope and her brilliant
brother were great favorites with
Queen Elizabeth and prominent in her
court.
Penelope Devereaux was addi-
tionally famous as having inspired
the poet, Philip Sidney. to dedicate
110 OF his most delightful sonnets
to her.
The nicknames for Penelope are
Pen and Penny and are unusually
attractive, as, in fact, is the full name
itself.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Pubhc senti-

clared Charles H. Markham, president
of the Illinois Central, as he sailed to-
day with Samuel NJ FELTON,, president
of the Chicago and Great Western, on

lasting until September.
Il expect a fair cotton crop at a fair
price" said Mr.. Markham. "The wheat
crop will curtail buying of farmers to a
certain extent, but don't think il will
retard prosperity.
For the first six months of 1923 we
have earned more than $4,000, 900 to-
ward dividends. We will continue our
present dividend rate. AS to any in
