Your Expression.

The one thing I should like most to
impress on my readers Is the fact that
facial expression is of infinitely more
Importance than features or coloring.
This is certainly fortunate, since very
little can be done to alter the features,
and not a great deal TO alter the color
ing Unfortunately, very few women
know anything about real expression,
and if they try artificial expressions the
effect is disastrous.
If had a growing daughter I should
be very much inclined to send her for
six months or so to good school of
dramatic art, not with any idea of a
stage career, unless she had genuine
talent for 1t, but simply for the very
hard and very excellent training dra
matte schools give. They specialize in
exercises, they teach the girls how to
walk, how to sit and how to stand, how
to use their hands expressively (most
women use them badly, making all
sorts of futile and meaningless gest-
ures), how to use their eyes. The
schools, or rather the teachers who
have had practical training. most of
them having been on the stage, also
give voice training.
But / think the most valuable thing
they teach is repose, and how to ex-
press feelings. Odd that shouldn't
come naturally--but it doesn't. At least,
a thousand girls will express sadness
by looking lugubrious to the point of
farce, pleasure by silly grin, quiet
thoughtfulnesS by completely blank
expression. / heard of woman once

ton of her husband could not avert
a tragic existence for Ida Mckinley.
On Christmas day, 1871. a daugh-
ter was born to her. A second arrived
on April /, 1873 But III the same
month Mrs. McKinleys mother died.
Soon the second baby was lost. And
before three years had passed her first
born was gone, too. This succession Of
bereavementS was too much for her.
Her mind staggered under the burden
of her sorrows and it was 2 long time
before she could be brought back TO
even a semblance of living. She was
to be an invalid for the rest of her
life.
Mr. Mckinley rose steadily. He be-

President. But all the time he was the
most devoted of husbands. Whether on
a speech-making tour. presiding over
State dinner or sitting with his cabinet,
his mind was always on 1I5 wife. Often
the highest officials waited while he
performed some little service for her
Mark Hanna said: The President has
made it hard for the rest OF us hus-
bands in Washington
Poor woman! She lived in the midst
of fairy tale in which she could only
participate in shadow-iike way. And
her cup of sorrow was not yet filed.
On September 6. 1901. an assassin's
bullet felled the President as ne was
visiting the Pan-American Exposition
in Buffalo. Almost his first thought, as
he waited for an ambulance, was for
Mrs. Mckinley.

astounding. In this extremity she be-

| In the darkening twilight of Friday,
September 13. realizing tnat death was
near, the President asked for Mrs. Nc

last time, leaning heavily on secretary

| Friends withdrew as she leaned over
| Mr.. Mckinley to kiss him and his arm

but still she remained with him.
"I want to go too" she murmured
feebly as he lay suffering.
I'VE must all go, we must all 60, !"
he rejoined.
The night advanced. Consciousness
was gone and the final journey was at

wait anxiously for the day when she

A CHARACTER OF A SCHOOL is

Dolls that cost nothing and yet are
real dolls to delight youngsters can be
made by any woman from the materials
she already has at hand. These may
be rag dolls Worsted dolls, knit or
crocheted dolls. and even the atten-
uated French dolls that are decidedly
la mode and which cost so much to
but readymade and dressed in smart
continental costumes.
Modern rag dolls are by no means
the crude playthings of colonial days.
They can have real chic. Use old
f1esh-colored stockings for head and
neck. arms and legs, and for the body
if there is enough left. Make the
limbs of narrow straight lengths scanned
to form tubing. AS stockings stretch,
stuff these tubes, forming shapely arms
and calves to legs. The legs may have
boot-Shaped tips, but it is better to
form the hands without cutting, eX-
cept slight shaping for thumbs Be
careful to make a pair of arms and a
pair of legs, when finished. The head
should be cut slightly elongated into an
oval, but not much, and should be made
in one piece with the neck, and pre-
ferably with the body. The head will
hold its position better So Stuff head,
neck and body with cotton batting or

Sew the legs to the lower portion of
the body, scanning each leg straight
across the top after stuffing it, Stuff

way and sew to the body. Position the
arms SO that they come from the
shoulders. BY attaching them as de-
Scribed they will be flexible Bobbed
hair can be made Of silk floss, or mer-
cerized crochet cotton.
These rag dolls are chiefly modern
lied by their coStuming, except for
their bobbed hair. Character dolls are
Frenchy even when made in this type
For the ultra attenuated dolls, increase
the length of the body somewhat, and
make the arms and legs extremely
slender, very long and perfectly straight.
Features can be painted. Oils will
not run, but water colorS are softer.
Mix the tones with benzine and they
will run very little, the wadding will
absorb extra liquid Mix colorS just
as dry as they can be applied Fea-
lures can be traced from some fashion
cut or other illustration, and then
colored. IF this is done paint the fea-
lures before making up the doll. Put
white blotting paper beneath the head
to absorb extra liquid.
If the doll is in the character of a
schoolgirl, make tam for her head,
and a jaunty jacket coat to wear over
a short cotton or woolen dress. Make a
wee, school bag, either from plain filet
crochet or embroidered homespun, bur-
lap or canvas. In it put few books

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November I9, 1855.-Bartel w. Barker,
who was advertised in advance as
female approved minister" of the
religious Society of Friends, spoke yes
terday Sunday afternoon In this city
to large audience, two-thirdS of which
was composed of women. Ore report in
local newspaper today says that
"Carusi's Saloon the meeting
was held-"was densely crowded"
The minister in her discourse ex-
planned the religious views of the peo-
pie called Friends or Quakers. She was
particular in seeking to impress on her
auditors the fact that they do not ad-
here to the doctrine of "l.igh profess
sion" regarding the Trinity; in other
words she said they hold to the So
cinian view on that subject. She in
sisted on the obligation aid necessity
Of life OF holiness to insure happi-
ness in social as in political affairs.
Her address was closely followed and
she took occasion to compliment the
big audience on the good behavior
which prevailed throughout the meet
ing
She disclaimed being an advocate of
"Women's rights" as that term is or
dinarily understood by the world, but
said that women were equal with men
in the connection of Friends or
Quakers. She referred to Scripture to
show that st. Paul did rot inhibit
women from preaching, but from ask
ing questions in church concerning doc
trine
Let them be instructed at home"
was one of her quotations from the
apostle in this connection.
Her hearers all seemed pleased with
the oratorical talents of the preacher,
seven if all of them did not agree with
her in doctrine" says The Evening Star
in its account of the meeting.
She enlarged on her theme for more
than an hour, imparting wholesome
advice, which if generally followed
would make the world far happier and
better than it is and hasten the mil
lennium,' says The Star reporter, who
adds that the fulfillment OF the wish
for that happy state in the world lin

pearance, is remote-very"

lunch box. A tiny jeweled box painted
black is excellent for this. Make a
miniature apple Of red silk, an orange
of deep yellow silk, banana of lemon
colored silk and a few sandwiches of
two bits of ecru or cream colored felt
between which a red flannel filling
for slice OF ham is clearly visible.
This is a doll to delight any child
1t takes no longer to make than many
another present. AS it will have the
element of novelty so much desired, it
win please youngster whether she al
ready has host of dolls or none at
all. Send in one or two to the dolls

see if the person in charge of the booth
is not delighted to have such a unique

If Dolly Madison was the gayeSt ana
happieSt of all the Presidents wives,
Ida Mckinley certainly was the most
tragic. She takes her place in history
as woman for whom misfortunes null
tiplied.
Life began joyously for her, but soon
descended to depths of misery from
which it never escaped.
She had one recompense. Like JEFF
ferson William Mckinley was the ideal
husband and the perfect lover.
Sometimes fathers play unsatisfac-
tory roles by interfering in their daugh-
ters' love affairs. 1t was the misfor-
tune of James A. Saxton. banker of
Canton, Ohio, that he should benefi-
Gently foster the romance of his
daughter Ida. with Maj. William Nc
Kinley
Ida Saxton and her sister Mary had
completed their school days and gone
to Europe in 1870 on seven-month
tour with a party of young ladies Of
their own age. They returned home
amid the pleasurable excitement which
rocked the society of every inland COM
munity in those days, when trips to
Europe were uncommon events.
Ida was %. She is chronicled as be-
ing beautiful, bright, witty, vivacious,
high-minded and of perfect physique
and health" AS the daughter of one
of the wealthiest and most influential
men in Canton she naturally was a
leader in the younger society set.
Into her life, ushered by her father,
came Maj. William Mckinley. young
veteran of the Civil War, handsome
and despite his humble birth distin-
guished in appearance. People turned
in the streets to look at him, and in
quired of friends his name.
He had lived in Canton three years,
was already established as a lawyer,
now was county prosecutor and was
prominent in politics. He was an i'm
pressive orator and he was only 81
His skill in conducting a certain case
won the admiration of James Saxton
He invited 'the Major" to visit him in
his home.
Saxton was a wise father. He be-
lieved that even wealthy girl should
be able to take care of herself. He had
placed Ida in his bank and she was so
successful as business woman she
was able to run 1t in his absence.
Wisely. he foresaw that Mckinley
would make a splendid husband for his
daughter. None was happier than he
when their troth was plighted. They
were married January rs, 1871, and
began housekeeping in a home given
| to them by Saxton.
Never did a young couple start mar
ried life more auspiciously. But 1t was

gracefully and Immediately added a
touchfo of life to the room.
Nancy found that shops carried
metal stands with two, three and even
four pots placed at different heights.
In each one of these a pot of trailing
ivy is set. Try putting one of these
against a plaster or putty colored wall
and see what it does.
A piece of blue-green pottery was
suspended from an iron arm or crane
which was attached to the window
frame. In this pottery container was
placed pot of ivy. The effect of the
deep green of the plant, the blue. green
of the pot against the window curtained
in apricot gauze made Nancy catch her
breath in appreciation every time she
saw it.

these two boats brings to light the tremendous hazards that the hali- but fishermen face. The records of casualties at the Customs House contain numerous instances of small vessels yeing wrecked while fishing on the halibut banks. Boats have limped into port with their pilot houses torn from the decks by the force Of breaking seas Members of the crews have been reported as washed overheard by waves that all but engulf the stannch little ships.
 Similar Disappearance
 A disappearance similar 10 that Of the Brunvol and Imperial is re- corded. The halibut boat Moren- gen, with a crew of six men left sitka on October 19, 1922, for the fishing banks. The vessel was last sighted off Yakutat Bay. No trace Of the ship or its crew of six was ever reported.
 The boat Anna J. narrowly es- caped destruction while f.shina out of CordoYa in the fall of 1926. Heavy seas were running on the halibut banks, the gear had all been set out and the crew was down below eating the evening meal. The steering wheel had been lashed 10 hold the ships head into the seas. A tremendous wave hit the Anna J.. broadsida breaking against the pilot house. The men were thrown from the table and the ships quarters were flooded with water pouring down the com panion way. The next sea carried away the steering gear leaving the small boat all but unmanageabla. Several days later the Anna ]. limped into port, the pilot house and everything above the decks were gone, swept clean by the breaking seas. The skipper and crew had been able to put the flooded engine in running shape and the ship was steered by means of booms lowered over the sides so as to drag in the water, to change it's course.
 It is not definitely known how long the searching ships will re- main out trying to find trace of the Brunvol and Imperial but it is certain that the search will con tinue as long as there is a chance that the men are still alive.
