Two Toes, Terror
OF Arkansas Area,
Dies in Zoo Gage
Timber Wolf Was Recent.
Iy Captured After 10
Year Rampage.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 1.-Two
Toes is dead. Two Toes, timber wolf,
that for a decade roamed the st, Fran
els Basin in Eastern Arkansas, preda-
tory hunter, was found dead Tuesday
in his cage at the Memphis Municipal
Zoo. Whether he died of injuries re-
ceived when he was shared and cap
tured a month ago or Of pining for his
haunts In the basin lowlands was not
known.
Two Toes was taken prisoner when
farmers, driven to desperation by his
raids on live stock and barnyard fowl,
organized a hunt with the aid OF
hounds.
The wolf, dubbed Two Toes because
of the clipping off of three of the toes
of q hind foot when he ran afoul
trap set for him several years ago, was
rated the most daring of all wolves
which preyed on basin farms.

Dos Your Chin
Tell About You?

The bony formation of the chin does
not always agree with the muscular or
feshy form and persons whose chins
are soft are inclined to be more easy
going than those whose chins are hard
and bony. Projecting chins are said to
indicate avaricious and stingy DISPOSE
tons, but this applies only when the
projection is actually part of the bony
structure, otherwise the characters
tic may indicate, more or less, indo-
lence, love of pleasure or q pronounced
sense of humor.
Markedly receding chins are said to
indicate weakness and lack Of force Of
character, but many very able and
brilliant men and women have had
chins that receded from q perpendicu-
lar line from the lower lip. A reced-
ing chin should therefore be considered
a sign of weakness only when it Is also
fiat or relaxed. The receding chin
hAbitually held in a dropping position
is certainly an undesirable feature.
Chins indented in the center indicate
a steady, resolute nature.
Long, broad chins often indicate pride
and lack of feeling. Unusual length of
face from the mouth downward is said
to indicate gluttony. Most good singers
have chins that are fairly wide and not
short.
Narrow, pointed chins have long been
said to indicate feeble digestion. Per-
sons with broad, blunt chins are said to
have unusually god chances OF long life.

beef dripping, nicely favored sauce OF
strained tomato juice or any desired
gravy or sauce that will lend itself to
this type Of cooking The sauce Is then
placed in a rather hot oven and the
meat is cooked, with occasional basting
so that it keeps its moisture without

Of IS and so and go, grandmothers

They hoped that By wearing clothes de-

as If very broadly built woman might
make herself look Simmer by wearing
clothes designed for the very slenderl
Every one recognizes the fact that
clothes for the slender are just the re-
verse from clothes designed to make
stout women look slender. They are
not so quick to realize that clothes for
the young are quite different from
clothes designed to make older women
look young.
THE question of color Ia one that
should be considered very carefully
by the woman old enough to be q
grandmother. Black is capable of being
decidedly smart, and IL also good
choice for the woman who has gained
weight with the passing of the Sum-
mers. But black has for so many years
been associated with maturity and age
that it should be worn with the great
est care. Navy blue has all the smart

the drabber aspects, And navy blue
is charming with white or silvery hair.
One might draw up q very helpful
color chart from the colors displayed by
nature through the changing seasons.
The clear. light pastel tones Of early
Spring are loveliest when worn by the
girl in her teens or early twenties, while
the woman in her late twenties and
early thirties wisely chooses the more
substantial colors of June-daisy and
buttercup yellow following the tender
rose tones after the pale pink Of the
hyacinth.
Deeper, richer tones of late July and
August might be listed for the woman
OF the next decade, while for the
woman verging on the range of mellow
but still rich tones that we think of as
autumnal are good It is perfectly pos
sible to pick flaws with this fanciful
color chart, but 1t IL at least worth
considering.
THERE are certain adjustments that
the woman approaching middle age
should make in her selection of clothes.
For one thing, she should face and ac-
cept the fact that she has need Of more
expensive clothes II she expects to
maintain the appearance of being well
dressed. The fact that an 18-year-old
girl can look charming In a hastily
selected little evening dress with n SIS
price tag attached is no reason at all

Older women require all the advantage
to be gained with the more expensive
materials and careful workmanship, and
neither good materials nor good work
can Be obtained In inexpensive

Pickup Work Is
Too Attractive

Did it ever occur to you that If your
so-called pickup work Is too attractive
1t will cease to be pickup work and will
become the absorbing interest OF the
day?
That il, II you have q sweater in the
making you may decide you will leave
1t where you can do it in leisure mo-
ments when the duties of your house
do not call you. But you find the work
ing out of the pattern so absorbing that
you linger over 1t, and 1t serves as
temptation to keep you away from the
regular routine of your work. The fact
that 1t keeps you is not so bad as the
fact that anything that keeps you from
your regular work becomes source OF
annoyance and irritation. You are an
noyed with yourself because you do not
get your regular work done, and yet
you cannot resist the temptation to
keep at work on the sweater.
OF course, the sweater is soon fin
ished and you have no pickup work
left.
Now, there Is one sort of pickup
work that will never tempt you to neg~
lect your other work. That is the
weekly mending. Yet there will always
be on hand just enough Of 1t to take
up your idle moments. II you make a
habit of putting it in a large mending
bag to be kept somewhere on the ground
floor, on the porch in Summer, you will
see that 1t is not dificult to get through
with 1t every week.
There is never good sense in spend
ing an entire day mending once a
month, or every six weeks. The best
sort Of mending Is a little done every
week.
Another sort OF good pickup work
consists of the buttonholes to be put on
new clothes that you have made. They,
like mending, will probably not offer
enough stimulation TO tempt you to
neglect your other work, but they are
not unpleasant and are easily picked UP
and put down again.

Built.In Furniture
More and More Used

1t is an interesting situation that
makes a clothes closet a part of the
house in which we live and a bureau
an article of furniture that we carry
about in van when we move from one
house to another. More and more
houses are coming to contain as part
Of their permanent fixtures articles that
one were carried about from one house
to another when their occupants moved.
Permanent wristbands set up by the
plumber have about taken the place OF
the old-fashioned waShstand that was
q part of the bedroom set. Set laun-
dry tubs have taken the place OF the
tubs that had to be lifted every time
they were used. Electric lighting fix-
lures have taken the place OF lamps
that were part Of the movables OF the
house.
There is now a tendency to push this
movement even farther and TO make
dining-room Bullets ard sideboaros, as
we'll as dressing tables and chests OF
drawers. part of the original equipment
Of the house conceived as part OF the
woodwork and finished to match. ms
makes moving day simpler, but when
one has so many things attached TO
ones house, moving days are less popu-
lar. The more of your furniture Is at
tached to your house, the more attached
you become to the house yourself:
One young woman, whose dream
house is now being realized discovered
that she could have a buffet built In
her dining room that would come up
to her high standards Of practicability
and real beauty for $50.
Built-in furniture is especially desir-
able in the children's rooms and In the
nursery. Shelves or drawers that are
part OF the woodwork offer much space
and few crevices for the collection OF
dust. A low, fairly broad window seat
in the children's room or nursery Will
do away with most of the chairs.

II you haven't learned the fashion
facts Of collars and cuffs, take an
afternoon off and linger over the

There are white touches, beige
touches, pale green, pale gray, blue,
pink and multi-colored touches.
Take that navy blue dress you have
been wearing, or the black one. Try
ed collar and jabot made in one, with
cuffs in the same cut.
Or perhaps you might look better If
you use some of the bias folds of pale
pink organdy. They stand up pertly,
especially inside a rounded neckline,
AND give dash to a frock.
For work or school. get something
that washes-not just material that
washes, but consider the way the collar

out OF the question.

NAof11ONS Oh tOOhy are yOuLAIlui.
- They are designed to the advan-
Il disadvantage of the girl of 40.
Young people have things all
their own way. These are commonplace
remarks, and We are all inclined to be-
lieVe them true. r.
On the other hand, never did older
women have so important a place in
social activities, never has the keen in
terest in dress been prolonged so far
past the years of youth, and never did
older women feel more justified in TAX
ing an interest in their clothes than at
the present time. The fact is that the
proportion of older to younger women
is greater than it ever was before. That
Is q simple fact, depending on the in
creased average span of life as a result
Of better living conditions and improved
health generally.
There are actually more women OF 40
and so and 60 than there ever were be-
fore, and women Of these dignified ages
are, to all intents and purposes, far
younger than women Of those ages used
to be.
All of which means that the subject
of dress for the older woman is con-
siderably more vital and significant than
1t used to be, and that dreSsmakers
spend more time making clothes for
women past their first youth than they
thought Of doing when the chances OF
reaching middle age were smaller than
they are today.
~
THE idea used to be that q woman
should marry man q good many
years her senior. Ten years seniority
was considered ideal. If woman mar
ries man her own age, by the time
they are 40 she will look like an old
woman while he will still be in his
youth. That is what some people still
say, and yet as you take account of your
middle-aged woman friends who have
married men of their own age, or posi-
bly, a trifie their juniors, isn't it true
that most Of them actually do look
younger than their husbands? am
sure that find this TO be the case, and
the reason is that women's clothes can
do so many more things to tone down
signs of age than mems. Possibly also
to the fact that women as a rule, in
this country at least, are less opposed
than men to resorting to those little
artificeS of the toilet which makes for
more youthful appearances.
THERE are two ways Of going about
this commendable business of dress
ing to look young-one sound and the
other absurd. A woman I know who
had been notably successful in choos-
ing clothes for her own daughters dur
ing their napper years opened small
dress shop, hoping to attract the group
of young women whose dress problems |
she felt specially able to solve. Instead
there came docking to her door ladies !
