President and Mrs. HOOUer Hosts
To Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft
Pleasant Company at In
formal Sunday Evening
Supper; Mrs. Hoover in
New York

Mrs. Hoover is in New
York today with President
Hoover, who went over to
make an address at the
annual luncheon given by
the Associated Press for the
newspaper editors of the
country.
Last evening there was
one of those pleasant Sun
day evening supper parties
at the White House, already
q recognized feature of the
Hoover social administra-
ton, which had special in
terest since Chief Justice
and Mrs. Taft were guests.
Chief Justice
Although Chief Justice and
Mrs. Taft have, Of course, been
guests at the White House
scores of times since they were
President and Mrs. Taft, it is a
bit unusual for them to dine
there in such informal fashion.
Moreover the Tafts seldom ac-
cept invitations for the evening.
When their friends entertain
3or them it is usually at the
luncheon hour, and when they
entertain themselves the midday
breakfast is their usual choice,
with Sunday as a favorite day.
Justice and Mrs. Harlan Fiske
Stone were also in the group OF
White House guests last even
ing and the others in the com.

His adherents might plan wisely, but
in the end it was the wit of a brave
woman which brought Charles II to
safety after Cromwell had beaten him
at Worcester.
Twenty-six miles from Worcester, at
White Ladies, the last of his noblemen
babe Charles farewell. For the time
being he was put In the care of trusty
yeomen and he became wanderer in
the woods, with not even roof to shell
ter him.
But Lord Wilmot did not go far. He
concealed himself at Mosely and later
he and the king were reunited. Will
mot conveyed Charles to the home of
the gallant COL Lane at Bentley.
It was there that Jane Lane entered
the picture She was the sister of the
colonel and an accomplished, attrac-
tive womaA. In the future plans for
the kings escape she became the most
important factor.
Cromwell's soldiers were combing
every highway and byway in search of
Charles. Only in France was there
safety for him. Miss Lane supplied
the means by which he reached that
safety.
She happened to possess a parlia-
mentary pass which enabled her to 60
and to convey her friends, to the neigh
borhood of Bristol, the seaport. She
had been granted the pass that she
might visit relative who was expect

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

You can always have young looking
teeth II you begin early enough In life
to look after them. Not so long ago I
met the world-famous actress, Yvette
Guilbert. I was particularly impressed
by the sight Of her marvellous teeth
strong, large, white teeth In a generous.
humorous mouth, teeth as perfect as
young girls. She was born in Paris In
1859.
There is a great deal of nonsense
written about special ways of preserv-
ing the teeth. Every imaginable kind
Of tooth paste Is manufactured and
great claims are made for each one Of
them. On the whole this is a good
thing, because 1t reminds people con-
stantly of the importance of keeping
their teeth clean. Personally, I'm for
all or any of the tooth-cleaning con-
coctions and for practically any type Of
tooth brush. remember hearing re-
Gently that a lot of dental manufac-
turers had got together and decided
on a campaign ITO make the Nation
toothbrush conscious" Good luck to
them, and may they find an even fun
nier slogan for their next campaignl
For eternally young teeth, then, use
any sort of brush and any sort of paste
or powder, even ordinary powdered
chalk If you must economic. Your
brush must be moderately stiff and it
shouldn't be too big. Brush your teeth
four times as much as you think you
need to, back and forth, up and down
and all over them. Do this night and
morning. And go to good dentist

tartar removed. Tartar causes irrita-

Your Baby and Mine


We realize as well as any one that
when we advise Keep the children
quiet before bedtime, so they won't be
keyed up and wide awake from excite
ment," that advice Is easier said than
done. Children have little patience
with inactivity and they respond so
riotously to fathers feebiest efforts to
be amusing that the pre-bed hour in
most households degenerates into ex-
hilarating circuses. It's AL very we'll in
fiction for the children to indulge in
pillow flghts-but try to quiet them
down after one
Mrs. M. J. w. has solved the bed
time hour with a new amusement. She
says, I'VE are making scrapbook.
Each evening at bedtime I cut out
pictures from old magazines and paste
them In notebook. Jean sits beside
me on the davenport and chooses the
ones that interest her the most. She
can hardly wait for me to finish the
kitchen work. This puts her in a quiet,
happy frame Of mind and in half an
hour she is ready for bed"
be more than an onlooker. She'll want
to do some of her own cutting and
FASTING. This is one type of amuse-
ment which fits ideally into that trying
hour between dinner and bedtime. 1t
Is good plan to let the child do his
bathing or sponging off before dinner
and come to that meal in nightgown
and bathrobe. Just being undressed
prevents him from entering into too
strenuous games. No mother need hbe
told that If she allows the child to wait
for his nightly additions until after
dinner that these are accomplished to
the tune of weary walls"
If she encourages rough games With
father, the very suggestion of bedtime
brings forth beseeching please to wait
a minute longer. We're having such
fun, and I'm not a bit sleepy" Being
torn away from the games won't put
any more sleep In the eyes of the child
who has been exercising so violently.
The opinion that he ought to be good
and sleepy isn't balanced by facts. He
Is wide awake and it NAV be hours be-
fore he Gains down. These are the
hours when father and mother are ir-
ritated to the point of punishment
while the wide-awake one continues to
chatter in his bed or to punctuate the
silence at intervals with demands to be
given a drink
1t avails little to point out patiently
that they Just had one. There is no
peace until their requests are fulfilled.
So these sitting-down games. puzzles,
books to color. stories to read and pic
lures to paste keep eyes so busy that
they soon begin to droop. This Is the
psychological moment to say. "Just
f1ve minutes more-and then who will
be the first one in bed?"

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

That is why perhaps the slim figure
has come into vogue and why counter
lunches have displaced the substantial
lunches that women who work require.
Vanity about ones residence seems
to us ostrichlike. For example, no in
telligent man expects a $20-a-week
stenographer to live in a $l00-month
apartment. Nor does he expect her to
wear the latest models and original hats
from Paris.
He expects her to be sensible enough
to wear what she can afford and eat
enough TO nourish herself. If she &C
complishes that much, she deserves his
profound admiration.
Living on starving wage is difficult
/ enough without increasing ones trou-
| bles with excessive rent or clothes In
the luxury class.
Food should come first, clothing next
and then shelter. An economical girl
can often make the ends meet until
her first pay raises materialize. 1t is
hard shedding, as many know, but a
conscientious effort in the right direc-
ton frequently carries one through lean
times and prepares one to make the
most of plenty.

Here shoes are displayed in bins and
tried on in chairs provided for the pur-
pose. Not so far removed from the
market carts of New York. But along
this thoroughfare dedicated to lowly
shopping and amusement the bright
stars Of Hollywood once shone.
Richard Dix was once leading man
and matinee idol on this faded way of
the great.
Harry Richman played a minor part
in the old Morosco stock company. That
was before he went to the Vernon Coun-
try Club to wisecrack and play the piano
and sing for the stars of celluloidia who
attended nightly. They could go nightly
in those dayS-no lines to learn.
Douglas Mclean was riot along this
street in those days, and Jimmie Glea-
son was to be found there now and
again. Today Harry Richman, said to
be the fiancee of Clara Bow, is star Of
big picture being made in one Of the
largest studios Of the village. And
James Gleason, once OF main street,
leaves a mansion in Beverly Hills each
morning to play part in this picture;
leaves corps of servants thoroughly
trained, a feet of shining motors. a
pool that makes many of the colony
green with envy. It's Of particular
green that turns water into liquid jade.
Lewis Stone has survived changes in
the industry with the poise which Is
characteristic of his granite i1nperturb-
ability. He has survived a divorce in
midlife and a romance with young
and blooming member of the colony
whose pulchritudinous youth but en-
phasizes the fact that he is no longer
the great lover of past screen work.
Marjorie Rambeau, Blossom Seeley.
Frances White, Percy Bronson, even
John Barrymore and Louis Calhearn

along this main stem of a land that
later went gelatin and dumped fortunes
into their laps.
But this doesn't stop the Broadway
boys. from going West, young man.
Joseph Macauley is among the most
recent to cast his fortune with the
talkies. 1t isn't much Of gamble any
more.
He will sing in Arthur Hammerstein's
little operetta which he is putting on

such as Rudolph Frin1l, Herbert Stot-
hart, Lois Moran, Dorothy Dalton will

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

December 8, 1S61.-Secretary Of the
tant report to Congress today, inform
ing that body that, in consequence OF
deficiency in the revenue. the aug
mented expenditures of the War and
Navy departments, and the assumption
last July that the contest with the
Southern States would be short and
decisive, the estimates submitted to
Congress at the special session last
Summer were too low. On that &C.
casion, it was estimated that the ex-
penditures Of the Government for the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1852, would
total $318519,581. Secretary Chase
now says the figure should have been
S532, 424,009.
Secretary Chase thinks retrench-
ment and reform are necessary and
recommends the strictest supervision
of the contractors furnishing war sup
plies to the Government. He also
recommends an increase in the GUS
toms duties on tea, coffee and sugar,
and an increase of the direct tax in the
loyal States to S20,000.000.
Congress has the power, In the opin-
ion of Mr.. Chase, to issue a national
paper currency. which would super

believes the possible disasters outweigh
the probable benefits of such plan
and he does not recommend its adop-
ton. Instead, he proposes to Congress
another plan, the principal features of
which are a circulation of notes bear
ing common impression and authenti-
Gated by a common authority, the re-
demption of these notes by the associa-
tions and institutions to which they
may be delivered for issue. the security
of that redemption by the pledge of the
United States stocks and an adequate
division of specie.
The notes thus issued. in his opinion
would form the safest currency the
country has ever enjoyed, while their
receivability for all Government dues
except customs, would make them,
wherever payable. of equal value as cur
rency in every part of the Union.
Secretary Chase believes that, as the
result of this plan, the whole circula-
ton of the country, except a limited
amount of foreign coin, after the lapse
Of two or three years would bear the
impress of the Nation, whether in coin
or notes. while the amount of the lat
ter. which is always easily ascertain
able and generally known would not
be likely to be increased beyond the
real wants of business.

Brave Women and Girls of History
Jane Lane Saved Charles II From Cromwell by Bold Trick
p
BY J. p. GLASS.

Lane, "once there he can make his
wav to France"
"Of a surety" said Jane Lane
Think you WE'LL" warned the colo
mel. If you are discovered, it means
death"
"Fear not, we will not be discovered"
The plan for the escape had to be
turned plain William Jackson. was to
play serving man to Miss Lane. Dressed
in coarse gray. he would ride double"
before her. Her other comrades would
be cousin, Mr.. Lascelles. and his wife.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Petre.
AS graceful monarch as ever lived,
Charles was poor serving man. AS
aged mother Of Col. and Jane Lane ap-
peared to say farewell. She laughed
heartily as he awkwardly helped her
daughter to mount her horse.
What a goodly horseman my daugh-
ter has got to ride before her" she said.
The details of that dangerous ride
cannot be given. But, guided and
coached by Jane Lane. who had to re-
member that the man in front Of her
was king while treating him as
loutish servant, Charles made his way
to his goal.
Straight through troops of searching
soldiers. and past many lunpkin who
would have liked to sight him in order
to win a reward. they rode. And ever
Jane Lane was gay and unconcerned, as
If William Jackson was actually what
he seemed.
All the rest Of his life Charles II
considered that while many, both high
and low. had aided him greatly in those
troublesome days. he owed more to
Miss Lane than any other.
From France he fastened to write
her, "It is impossible can ever forget
the debt owe you" Nor did he. When
she and her brother later fled to
France to escape Cromwell, he made
her the heroine of Paris and the French
court.
After the restoration he gave her an
annuity Of 1000 pounds a year. Col.
Lane received a pension Of 500 pounds.
Jane Lane married brave cavalier,
Sir Clement Fisher, and lived happily,
it is good to recall.
