Scarfs With Evening Dresses
BY MARY MARSHALL.

You can wear q last seasons evening
dress without actual embarrassment.
Skirt lengths have remained about the
same and waiStlineS are still normal.
But there are certain subtle changes in
the evening mode that give distinction
between last seasons and this seasons
evening dress.
Shoulder straps on some Of the backs
are one of the new developments. We
find them often on dresses that would
be quite backless above the waistline
without these crossing straps. Wide
shoulder straps are also new. One Of
Goupy's most interest evening dresses Of
red velvet has wide shoulder straps with
a panel scarf attached to the left strap
so that 1t hangs down at the back nearly
to the knees or may be drawn up to
serve as neck scarf.
Shoulder straps on some Of the new
evening dresses are extended to provide
tiny shoulder capes at either side.
The sketch shows an interesting ar
evening dress Of French origin. Two
chiffon scarfs are joined at the back
with a brooch and are then drawn at
shoulder straps and fall gracefully down
over the arms.
Sometimes a scarf Is arranged so that
one long end hangs down from either
shoulder, yelling the arms above the
elbow and hanging down to the knees.
There are all sorts Of ways Of adjust
ing ScarfS this season, and II you have
a last seasons evening dress that you
would like to provide with fashionable
new touch, by all means consider the
possibilities Of scarf drapery.

The homemaker who nnds one of her
rooms does not look as attractive or
cozy as she expected it would when she
decorated it, can usually find the rear
rangement of the furniture, rugs and
other furnishings will be helpful solu-
ton. If the room looks too long and
narrow, seek to bring the ends of the
room nearer in effect. This can oe
done in several ways. For example, If
them so that lengths extend across the
room. The lines they give increase the
appearance of width of floor space.
Avoid arrangements of furniture
which give longitudinal lines. If there
is no other wall space for a couch or
sofa than against a lengthwise wall,
break the appearance OF length by an
occasional table before it, rather than
using an end table. The ways of CIV
ing the desired broad effect are many.
The homemaker has to study both the
room and what she has in 1t to see
just what her own particular solution
can be.
If the room is wide for its length re-
verse the suggestions Just given and
seek in every way to supply the appear
ance of increased length. This is easier
than to give the look of width, although
eacn WOulQ SEEM 10 nave equdI pTOp-
lens. But it actually is not nearly so
difficult to make a room appear long as
it is to make it appear wide. The mar
rowness of the floor space prevents in
a measure the graceful grouping of fur
niture.
When a room has neither of these
difficulties of length or width, yet is
not satisfying, consider the room from
two angles; that of convenience and
good decoration. It is poor treatment

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Characterology,

A great many people imagine that
facial traits are indicators of character
traits. There are the common beliefs,
for example, that a person with long
nose Is interested in the affairs Of his
neighbors, that a person with small ears
is stingy, that person with small eyes
set close together Is deceitful, and so
forth. There is not a particle Of truth
in any of these popular assumptions.
In order to understand character one
needs to go beneath the surface. Char
acter is in the first place largely mat
ter of habit. Men are very generally
what they are because of where and
how they have lived. And the where
and how apply particularly to their
early surroundings. During the first
10 or IL years the stage Is set for the
essentials Of what we are to become and
how we are to be judged as adults. It
Is very hard for a person to outlive his
early training. One might geperalize
as follows: The key to character Is habit
or training.
Now there are, Of course, many well
meaning people who will hold to the
popular assumptions Of facial traits de-
spite anything here said to the contrary.
The thing for them to do Is to put these
assumptions to the test. Let them Sc
lect for observation some person with
unusual head and face features. Let
them determine If he also has unusual
character traits. After while they
will probably agree with Shakespeare:
"There is no art to read the minds
construction in the face"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-11-07

with this institution, you will, of
course, have to buy your own mate
rails and take the risk of making them
up. Don't do that until you have
shown them something that you have
already done and they assure you that
they can sell it.
You will see decoratorsl shops. Some
of these would be more likely to give
you work to be done at home than any
department store. Most department
stores prefer to have everything done
on the place.
You may not get much work at the
beginning. It's the kind OF thing that
has to be built up slowly. You are a
wise woman to want to learn some
thing thoroughly. People who know
things alf-heartedly are the first to
lose their jobs.
Besides, knowing something well
gives you a lot of self-confidence. A
self-confldent manner helps more than
anything else in getting work. If
should have to give girl two pieces of
advice toward getting a job and hold
ing it. I'd say: Know some one thing
well. Be sure of yourself.

Little Mr.. Peter Rabbit left Old Jed
Thumper, the gray old Rabbit who was
her father, sitting in his favorite retreat
chewing on nothing at all and started
out to visit some of the familiar places
of the days when the Old Pasture was
her home. In one after another she
found signs that some one had been
there recently. Somehow she resented
the fact that any one else should have
used these places. 1t was a silly feel

done. The father is a dapper, slender
fellow, with very feathery antennae,
and is swift flyer. Both parents have
white, mi-transparent wings, with
many blackish spots on them. They
are so tinged that the spots have a
dark blue or greenish cast.
The chest has six large spots with
another one in the center. The wing
expanse of the mother is over ~
inches. The father Is much smaller
than his spouse.
From May until August, grown moths
ready to mate will come from the trees
The mother moth inserts her oval, sal
mon colored eggs in the rough bark
of the tree. They are placed singly OF
in groups of three or four, until she
has tucked away 300 of them. In 1C
days the eggs hatch into feshy, grub
like caterpillars, that are pale yellow
with pinkish tint. The head, chest
and plates on the tip of the body are
brownish black.
The entire body is sparsely covered
with hairs and prominent tubercles
They enter the nearby crotch or bore
reach the heartwood. When the twie
burrow gets too snug, the occupant
ambles out into the open and selects q
larger branch Or trunk to tunnel into
In single tree, 6 inches in diameter
as many as six borers were found. One
alone can destroy tree, If undisturbed.
When the borer is full grown, the in
tested limbs will break of. He usually
girdles the branch.
The second May after the borer en-
tiers the wood he transforms into the
next stage (pupa). He has sharp
spikes on his head and forces his way
partly out of his home. He hangs
half way out of his doorway, the skin
splits, and the moth pulls himself free
of his close-f1tting wrapper.
You may find their burrows by the
accumulation of chips at the entrance
gates. When the borer makes his second
change, he closes the doorway to his
room with silk curtain. This is to
keep away his enemies and insure
privacy. When these borerS work under
the bark of the tree, ugly scars will
be seen the following Spring.
The only enemies they seem to have
are the birds. The moths seem to stay
close to the cities and towns. The
woodpeckers have been driven to the
country. They are experts when 1t
comes to going after the borers and
know just where to catch the workers.
Those caught in the cities are borers
exchanging smaller home for larg-
er one. They are out in the open and
easily caught.
Little gray squirrels feast upon the
plump borer, and in This way this enc
my has been kept down. Rare trees
may be saved by injecting bisulphid
Of carbon into the burrows and clos
ing the entrance with grating wax.
Do not inhale the fumes or smoke while
executing the little borer.
