Hats and Trousers for Beach Wear
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Wide brimmed hats were first de-
vised to protect the face and neck from
painful sunburning, and 1t LIS for this
purpose that they have come into favor
at Southern resorts this Winter. Cob
hats have the advantage that their
rather narrow brim may be turned up
or turned down when protection is
needed. Coolie caps with a very wide
shading brim have been worn, usually
in connection with beach coats Of the
coolie variety.
Then there are the enormous doppy
straw hats sometimes left in the nat
ural straw color and sometimes dyed
red, green. blue, orange or even violet.
These hats are untrimmed and so far
have been worn only on the beaches,
but when Summer comes we may see a
real revival of the wide brimmed straw
hat
To protect the legs from excessive
burning and tanning. pajamas for beach
wear first came into favor. 1t is not
particularly pleasant to sit on a sandy
beach when the skin of ones legs has
almost reached the blistering point.
And this season there are long, wide
trousers often made of gingham A
more comfortable garment for beach
wear could hardly be imagined.
In less than an hour you can put to-
eether one of the new panel collars
that are so helpful in adding a becom-
ing touch to a dark frock OF silk or
wooden material. You can make 1t OF
all-over lace, chiffon, georgette or sheer
linen or cotton material-trim 1t with
lace or have it finished with a picot
edge. If you would like the diagram
pattern with sketch of the finished col
lar. please send me a stamped, self
addressed envelope and will forward 1t
to you at once.

BEAUTY CHATS
The Eyes.

You can do anything you want to
improve the eyes so long as you do not
touch the eye itself. These days, when
the beauty preparation departments OF
the shops carry every possible color OF
powder. YOU can purchase small boxes
OF compact blue, brown or gray powder
which can be used to spread over the
eyelids up to the eyebrows, following on
into a v which would be formed by the
continuation of the eyebrow and lower
line of the eye. This makes fairly
wide V-shaped bit which extends to-
ward the hair, and it and the color on
the eyelids should be SO faint as not to
be noticeable. What 1t does Is to add
to the brilliance and to the apparent
size of the eyes. Vanishing cream
should be used first.
II YOUR eyes are blue or blush gray,
use the blue powder; II they are very
dark gray. use the gray powder, but
very sparingly, for gray shadows are
apt to make the eyes old and sunken if
| the coloring is too marked. If your
| eyes are brown, most likely brown pow
der is the best, again put on SO family

certain of the effect you must expert

with a faint shadow of blue around

made to seem longer and thicker and

house for him. prepared meals and
cared for his two small children. Al
though she continued rendering these
services for several years. Miss Higgins
received no compensation from her
brother and nothing was said on the
subject.
After her brothers death Miss Hig-
gins filed a claim asking that she be
allowed $3.50 for the services she had
rendered. The administrator contested
the suit, contending that as there was
never any agreement to pay for the
services she could not recover for them.
He showed further that she had not
paid for her board or lodging during
that time.
The court agreed with the admins
traitors contention, explaining:
Ordinarily, where one renders sery-
ice for another there is to be inferred
an intent to charge and promise to
pay the reasonable value therefor. But
where the one rendering the service is
a member of the family, receiving sup
port therein, the presumption arises
that the services are gratuitous. The
plaintiff, therefore, cannot recover any
paw for the services in addition to the
home and living which she has received.

defendant as reasonable man ought
to have known that the services were
rendered for pay and not for love.

patents himself. However, the number
became so great that Andrew Jackson
found himself overwhelmed with the
task and turned It over to his Secre-
tary at the White House. The secretary
in turn became overwhelmed, and in
1873 an appropriation was provided by
Congress for the position that Mrs.
Pugh now has. A woman was appointed
to the position at that time, and women
have filled it ever since.
Mr.. Harding appointed Mrs. Pugh to
the Office in August, 1921, and Mr. Cool
idge gave her the right to use his sig
nature when he became President. So
far as is known, she will continue her
duties during the Hoover administra-
ton.
She says that of all the signatures,
Mr.. Harding's was the most difficult.
The W in the name and the two MS
gave her considerable trouble. But
since she signs them all in her own
handwriting, she doesn't feel that there
is any real difficulty involved.
Mr.. Harding is the only one of the
men whose names she has signed that
Mrs. Pugh has even seen. The late
President received visit one day from
two women who introduced themselves
as the persons who had used his sigma
ture so often that they were curious to
see the owner of that signature. The
other woman was Mrs. Mabel P. Leroy
whom Mrs. Pugh succeeded. Mrs. Le-
roy now is recorder in the land patent
office.

The Library Of Congress keeps a copy
of the first edition of T. e. Lawrence's
Revolt in the Desert" under lock and
key, concealed from the eyes Of the
public.
Why? Only the author and Herbert
Putnam. librarian. know. This much,
however, is known: II will not be shown
publicly until a limited time, set by
Lawrence, elapses.
Much speculation has centered around
this volume and the motive OF the man
who. by his writings, has made of Ara
bia wonderland to many thousands of
readers. Some cling to the belief that
1t is the famous 300.000-word edition,
but Putnam says no. According to the
librarian, the secret edition differs very
slightly from copies that may be OBJ
tanned at any bookstore. He does ad-
nit, however, that there may be some
difference In its predatory matter and in
few other details.
The 300,000-word edition of "Revolt
in the Desert" SO far as is known, never
came to the United States. One story
has 1t that the original manuscript was
stolen from Lawrence at a railway Ste
ton, and that the short popular version
is what the author wrote Immediately
thereafter.
There is no legal tie that compels
Putnam to keep this edition secret, but
Lawrence's request will be respected
The author stated when he forwarded
the book to the Library of Congress that
the British Museum already had ex-
| tended him such courtesy.
OF the edition deposited in Wash
| ington, only sufficient copies have been
printed to warrant issuance Of a copy
right.

strong boxes, containing what Is ex-
pected to add the last strokes to q

Every housekeeper should know some
thing about the different cuts Of meat.
One of the quickest ways of acquiring
this knowledge is by studying the
meat charts that may be obtained from
any of the big packing companies. In

able money. Pound for pound one cut
of meat has almost the same nutritive
value as another, but the cost of the
two may vary greatly. Porterhouse steak
at IS cents pound is no more nutri-
tious than flank steak at 80. and when
properly cooked the latter may be just
as appetizing as the former.

to raise the necessary funds, and
