HAS DRY LAW
ONM|ND

NEW YORK, March 22.-Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, assistant to
the United States Attorney Gen.
eral, in an address to the New
York Bar Association last night, used
the word prohibition" twice.
= Even then she was not talking
Of prohibition. Once she used pro-
hibition to identify her department
and once referred to the interpre-
tation of Federal statutes.
What She Said
Exactly what she said when she
mentioned prohibition was this:
"As new statutes are passed our
office regards it as a duty to bring
doubtful provisions before the
courts for decision. Frequently,
therefore, to lose the case is to
win. For the interests of the Gov
ernment are always served by max
ing certain that which is Uncer.
tain or subject to non-uniform ap.
plication. This is particularly true
of the prohibition statutes. Most
of their criminal sections have now
reached q settled or final interpre'
| tatiOn."
Mrs. wiIIiebrandt began her talk
with a historical review OF the
United States Attorney Generals s
office from the time 1t was created
in 1889. as one Of the four Cabinet
offices. until the present. She ex-
planned its operation and the
growth of it's business to a present
personnel of 600 with 1000 in the
branch offices throughout the coun.
try.
Lauds Her Chief H..
After discussing technical matters
in the administration of the nftice,
Mrs. WilIebrandt paid a high tribute
to Attorney General Mitchell. She
said:
His greatest service to the ma
ton, l predict. will be the estab.
lishment of the tradition that politi-
cal considerations have no part IN
the conduct of the law business Of
the Government"
Mrs. withdrawals talk was
thoroughly academic, with plenty
Of quotation and reference to au.
thority to satisfy the legal minds
she addressed. In conclusion she
proposed a Reorganization of the
legal department of the Govern.
ment" along lines that would
make 1t more like a private law
organization.

that there was catch to it.
1t is simple matter to tote several

Hemlines Affect Stocking Colors
BY MARY MARSHALL.

do, ard already has done, something
to change the color of stockings.
To wear with black evening gowns
of longer, uneven hem line, many
women, especially in France, are choos-
ing sheer black stockings, and from
Paris comes word that sheer black
stockings with insets at the front of
fine black lace are chosen by number
of the best dressed women to wear with
black evening gowns.
Another French fashion is to wear
stockings dyed to match the frock, and
for gowns that make use of the same
color in shaded tones the stockings
match the darkest, not the lightest,
tone. Thus "jeunne file frock" that
shaded from the faintest pink to deep
rose was worn with stockings dyed to
the precise tone of the deep rose of the
frock
And yet at most of the Southern re-
sorts in this country stockings of a
pronounced sun tan shade have been
worn for both day and evening by the
large majority of women.
One or two sleeveless blouses are a
real necessity in every woman's Spring
wardrobe. They are SO convenient to
wear under your suit jacket or sweater
on warmer Spring days. This weeks
diagram pattern shows how you can
make one with the new straight neck
line, and it is extremely easy to make.
On receipt of your stamped, self-ad-
dressed envelope I will gladly send you

Dear Miss LeedS-CO / have very

constant wearing of glasses. What VIII

DISTRACTED SEVENTEEN.
Answer-0) Wearing glasses does
not cause rings under the eyes. What
an odd idea! Have thorough physical
examination by a doctor to see what is
the cause of the circles; there may be
some internal disorder. If you have
not had your glasses changed within
the last II months it would be good
plan to see the occulist again now.
After cleansing your face with soap and
water at bedtime, dry and pat little
bleaching cream on the dark rings.
Mix four drops of peroxide with one
teaspoonful of cold cream to make a
bleaching cream for this purpose.

height Do not allow yourself to be-
come self-consciouS about the facial
hairs: every one has light growth on
the face. If you try to remove them
with depilatories or a razor the skin
will become irritated and the growth
increased. You may use the peroxide
to bleach the hairs If they are dark,
but sometimes this makes the hairs
grow longer. If they develop into a

back chairs dining room chairs are eX-
cellenO, couh cover. large shawl
or portiere and thick sofa custom.
Two persons are chosen for king and
queen, and if the company is large,
1t is impressive to have three foot
men, one each to stand behind the
king and queen. and one for official
announcer of guests, who may surprise
all or part Of the company. But one
person only is the guest of honor. and
this must be the last one to enter
If preferred the guest of honor may
be the only one received. the rest of the
company merely remaining spectators
to watch the fun.
Arrange the chairs, three in a row
The center one faces backward with
the back on a line with others so that
all appear to face the same way Be-
tween the two chairs, facing forward
place the sofa cushion. Throw tho
couch covered over the chair, completely
concealing them so that the entire
arrangement appears like one long
throne.
The king and queen, dressed the
parts, if the hostess wishes, seat them
selves one on each chair, leaving the
place between for the guest. The
footmen take their places, and the an
nouncer stands by the entrance door
which may be merely by the folding
doors or some imaginary line marking
off the throne room from the rest Of
the room.
AS each person enters the throne
room the announcer calls out in
rather loud voice whatever name the
person entering gives in a low voice
to him. The person then walks up
to the king first and then the queen,
bows if man or courtsfes if a woman,
