SEEK ENOUGH PROXIES
 TO GUST STEWART
Supporters of Rockefeller Have Less Than 45 Per Cent of
 Stock Votes,

New York. Jan. 23 R-With proxies for "less than 45 per cent'' of the stock delivered, associates of John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. today were seeking enough more to oust Cot. Robert w. Stewart from the chair manship of the Standard Oil Com pany o: Indiana.
 The 45 per cent figure became important in the battle for control Of the company when 1t was point ed out at the Rockefeller offices that about 90 per cent of the 9,231,- 54O shares of the company was ex- pected to be represented at the an- nual meeting March in Whiting, Ind.
 In renewing the fight to "clean house" in the management of the Indiana Company. associates of Mir. Rockefeller have assured stockhold- CTS that their dividends will not be Ieopardized if they throw their lot with the Rockefeller interests and vote for the removal Of Stewart.
 Thomas DeBevoise, an associate of MT. Rockefeller. made public let ters to stockholders in which he said there was no reason to believe that there would be any change in the past liberal policy" of the manage ment of the company in connection with dividends, cash and stock.

Boys Choose
Own Clothes

School clothes for boys really do pre-
sent a more vexatious problem to moth
ers than those for girls because boys,
like their fathers, are far more likely
to be Influenced by arbitrary preJudlces
and prescriptions of the group to which
they belong than are little girls, who
like their mothers, often have the
courage of their conviction to dress to
suit their own type or taste.
Not so the boy-whose first consid-
Grafton is always to get something like
what the other boys in his class are
wearing, and who has no prejudice
against shabby clothes. provided they
conform to the usage of his associates.
1t is one thing to feel convinced that
straight shorts are smarter and more
comfortable and more generally desir-
able for the school boy than knickers-
but it is quite another thing to per-
suade the boy of or 8 or to wear
this type of trousers when the other
boys appear in knickerS. Moreover.
you may feel convinced that a small
boy looks better in trousers, shirt and
pull-on sweater than in trousers, shirt
and coat-but if sweaters are not worn
in the classroom in the school which
he attends or if the boys he most adj
mireS always wear coats then the wise
mother throws away or bottles up her
prejudices on the subject and lets the
small boy make his own selections. It
Is nothing short Of cruelty to make
boy wear suits or hats or shoes or
other things that make him stand out
as different among the boys with whom
he associates.

"Well. there's one beautiful friendship
busted" commented Sue to the backs
of two of her departing guests. I've
learned that the most charming people
in their own environment can be the
worlds worst pests out of it sometimes"
Ralph and Hilda Blaine, Office slaves
in the big CITY, had professed for years
an incurable desire to rusticate, to HE
themselves forth from the madding
crowd, to get back to nature. and for
years Sue had offered them the hospi-
tally of her grandfather's farm.
This year 1t had worked. Grand
father and Grandmother Moore were
away for the Summer. Sue, recuperat-
ing from a hard working year, was rus
ticarsax CT: the old farm and inviting
out all her rr1ends who loved it as she
did.
This year Ralph and Hilda were able
to make it. They arrived in faultless
sport clothes, ostensibly all set for the
week they had craved for years.
In the first half hour they had mo-
rosely discovered that there was no
phone in the old farmhouse, and that
calls we're received across the road; that

Chopping Bowls and Food Flavor

foods and inexpensive foods is, on an
alysis, largely a difference in flavor.
The difference between apples at cents
apiece and pomegranates at 10 cents Is
largely matter of flavor. They con-
tain practically the same amount Of
water. the same sort of crude fiber, the
same sort of fruit sugar.
The difference between swordhsh at
ST pound and Goldfish at 80 cents is
difference of flavor, not of actual
nouriShment.
When you buy tropical fruits at a
high price you simply pay for differ
ent flavor. Carrots and onions are
plentiful now, and so are a half dozen
other vegetables that contain the same
nutrients as other vegetables that cost
much more. Here, again, it is simply a
matter of flavor.
Often the difference between an i'm
ported delicacy and q home product is
merely one of flavor, and the reason
that some people are willing to pay
the larger price is not because they
actually prefer the flavor, but because
they associate that flavor with high
prices.
There is no essential difference be-
tween the nutrients Of caviar and any
other sort of fish roe, but there is
difference in flavor. And 1t Is safe to
say that for one person who is willing
to pay the price of caviar because Of
the superiority of the flavor there are
10 who are willing to pay the price
merely because it is higher.

Upkeep of Clothes.

Remember when you are buying or
making a new frock not to spend all
the money you can spare for that par
ticular frock at first. Keep some for
upkeep.
Really, when it comes to being we'll
dressed, this is just as important as
it is for the owner of a house to allow
something for upkeep. 1t is essential
to keep your clothes in good order If
you would have them look we'll.
Something about frock may need
replenishing. Perhaps. if you are max
ing it or having it made, this means
only the buying, to begin with, of an
extra half yard of material to put away
in your piece box.
Almost certainly every non-wash
frock will need cleaning before its
ting aside of enough money to pay
for that cleaning-a dollar and half
or two dollars each time. Or at least
the price of cleaning fluid. If you plan
to do the cleaning yourself.
So whatever expense there may be
later on for keeping a frock in order,
plan for it, and then you will never
have a closet full of clothes in bad
repair, soiled, and unattractive.
The same thing holds good in shoes,
only in shoes the repair bills are
usually a greater percentage of the
original outlay than in other clothes.
Shoes must be frequently polished, oc-
casionally reheeled. Sometimes they
are worth resoling. All this costs
money so that often a l0-dollar pair
of shoes will need four dollars or five
for upkeep.
On hats there is little upkeep. There
was a day when women wore curled
ostrich plumes, when hat upkeep
amounted to something worth count
ing. For whenever the plumes, because
of dampness, became straight or stringy,
they had perforce to be ripped off and
recllrled. And so the original cost of
a plume was augmented by several dol
It recurled.

Brown as KEYNOTE.

The woman who has chosen brown
to play a leading role in her Autumn
wardrobe will have fairly easy time
this season, because brown tones have
been emphasized in every essential and
detail of the new clothes. If she wants
brown tweed suit or coat she will find
an ample supply from which to mas
her choice. Brown hats of all sorts
will be seen in the millinery shops, so
that there will be no trouble in finding
one that matches the suit or coat and
that is at the same time becoming.
The new tweeds frequently show
combination OF several tones Of brown.
There may be combination Of brown
and beige, of brown with lending tone
of henna or russell, or the combination
may be of brown with a little green.
Sometimes a single tone Of brown Is
combined with white. For afternoon
combined with pink or fesh-colored
touches of lingerie, and for street the
combination of brown with black Is de-
cidedly smart.
This black and brown combination.
which is especially liked by French
women, may be gained by combining
brown coat or suit with black fur and
black accessories or black coat or suit
with brown accessories.
There is, of course, no such thing as
all black save for mourning, because
black stockings. no matter how trans
parent, are not worn in the daytime
save for mourning. With the black en-
semble you may choose beige stockings
or sheer dark gray-so that the black
scheme usually develops into one IN
which either this dark gray or beige
tone also plays part.
Gloves usually follow the tone OF the
stockings Lingerie touches or accom-
panying blouse are usually in light
tone. Eggshell, ecru, gray or white may
be chosen without actually introducing
a marked color note in the black cos
tune, though a smart effect Is 70 be
gained by a deliberate combination OF
black with one of the new blues or
green's.
Green is most important this Autumn
for evening wear. as we'll as for day
time. Often several tones OF green are
used together. or green may be used IN
combination with brown or the So-called
autumnal range of colors. Engllsn
green is something that every one
should recognize at a glance. because IL
will be much spoken of this season. ana
bottle green is already familiar to any
one interested in color names.

a soothing and softening effect on the
entire ensemble in spite of its very
square outlines. Another illusion created
by this new modern paper is one OF in
creased height and area. In the WINDOW
draperies the same stripes predomlnate.
For her decorative detail on the FUR
niture itself the designer resorts to the
development of a diamond pattern on
the fiat surfaces by mitering triangular
pieces of the wood together. The table
tops and the doors of the Sideboard
cupboards both show the smart results
of this treatment. -.
An unusual variation in mirrors Is
obtained by backing the glass with a
copper composition instead of quick.
silver and again mitering the pieces OF
glass together to initiate the wood
finish. The copper influence is reflected
once more on the serving tray of the
small table, while candlesticks and
bowls are carried out in modernistic
patterns of metal. One copper fruit
bowl held ornamental fruit in colored
metal resembling tree trimmings.
The chairs. simple little boxlike af-
fairs, have their backs formed of one
panel of wood sloping gently from the
top to the floor. And, repeating the
diamond pattern Of the wood and mir
rors, have their seats covered In two
colorS Of woven fabric.

Nancy Lou stopped before the smart
new brick house-so startlingly formal
among its comfortable old wooden
neighbors. IT'S stiff little cedar trees
and tall gray stone urns were an inno-
walton on quiet Station street, where
even the rise from Stat blinds to avn
ings had taken 10 years to accomplish.
The Smith-Parrs had arrived few
days before school started. They had
a girl Nancy LOUIS agL and she had
been put in the same room as Nancy
Lou.
The second bell had begun to ring
as Nancy Lou stopped. Then she went
slowly up the walk, crossed the brick
terrace and stood gazing up at the opu-
lent looking knocker on the Smith
Parr front door A troubled froWn
WrinkIed her forehead.
Dot had stopped for Nancy Lou be-
fore the first bell, just as she had done
twice a day for four years. Today for
the first time her mother had gone to
the door and told Dot she'd better run
on. as Nancy Lou wasn't quite ready.
After the little talking to her mother
had given her yesterday about being
nice TO Norma Smivh-Parr. and how
she was getting Old enough to be more
particular about her friends, she had
a vague. unhappy feeling that Dots
dismissal vas directly concerned in 1t,
too.
The day before she had seen Norma
Smith-Parr look over Dots limp dress
and scuffed damp shoes-it had been
raining-and her faded umbrella and
turn directly away After that Norma
hadn't spoken to Dot once.
Nancy Louis mother had suggested
that she wear the new raincoat Aunt
Inez had sent frcln New York. Norma
had looked that over, too. and the
smart yellow linen dress with the sun
tan back and the oXfords that matched
her own. She had looked over all the
other girls in school and decided that
Nancy Lou was The best dressed of
them all They would make friend
of this one.
After school Dot disappeared. She
said she had to help her mother. Her
mother was a widow who seWed. Her
father had been q professor, but he
died when Dot was baby.
The two girls had gone to Nancy
LOUIS and sat on the glider. Her
mother had sent Annie out with ginger
ale, grapejuice and plate Of cookies.
Annie was dressed in her one uniform.
Nancy Lou was surprised, for she knew
it was wash day. She knew that some
thing was happening. Her straight

| happy road had forked. She would
have to choose, it seemed, between Dot
and Norma.
She hadn't liked Norma so far. The
| new girl had a habit of doing things
and letting you tag. Besides, last right
at the drug store when they had or
dered sundaes Norma had deity
changed them when they were brought,
saying the man had made a mistake
Nancy Lou couldn't contradict her, but
she knew better. Her own sundae had
looked twice as tempting as the one
Norma had ordered. She knew that
Norma thought so, too.
Better hurry! You'll be late!" called
two little girls. Nancy Lou saw them
look at her, then up at the Dig house
with envy and awe in their eyes. She
knew that she had put on a magic
cloak since yesterday, as though she'd
the only girl in town that Norma
Smith-Parr had chosen to become tie
least bit intimate with.
But the affair Of the sundaes. Dot
wouldn't have done that. And she
never had to follow Dot. There was
no quarreling-no giving in TO Selfsh-
ness.
But Dorothy! 1--WE can feel sorry for
poor people, but don't need 20 be too
intimate with them" Nancy LOUIS
mother had said. She supposed 1t was
just as fair to feel sorry for Dot as TO
keep on being her friend. The ethics
of grownups bothered her.
Oh, we'll!
Nancy Lou reached up and lifted the
knocker It looked hard and relentless,
sort of ungiving. There was a sound of
footsteps inside the vestibule-probably
Norma's. Nancy Lou lowered the
knocker softly, silently and fed!
Up on the corner she had caught a
glimpse Of Dot in her limp blue dress
waiting.
