val, this city'S entire business Sec
ton was threatened with fire yes
terday.
Raging for more than five
hours, the flames consumed more
than a half block Of business
houses, caused damage estimated
at more than 10000 and marred

winchester churches when con-
gregations and pastors were called
out to help fight the blaze.
Blamed on Children
Starting at $50 a. m. in a paper
establishment it was not brought
under control until early after
noon. Police blamed the fire on
two small children who, they said,
had been burning the insulation
from around telephone wires.
They said the fire spread to papers.
Churchgoers were credited with
keeping the loss down when they
helped carry stock from stores In
the path of the flames.

was guttered by the flames, build
ings damaged included the Faulk-
ner Building, housing stores on

Hair Color Fodes
As Years
Pass
BY LIZ HUME

Although the platinum blonde
made famous by Jean Harlow
has been declared somewhat
pasSe, done to DEATH" the
woman with blonde hair will
always strive to keep her hair
light by bleaching.
If you were a golden blonde
in girlhood and turned grad
ually to that "mousey'' shade,
it is quite natural that you
would want to do something to
restore your golden tresses.
Lack Of Harmony
Perhaps for a time you would
be quite satisfied with this ar
tificial restoration, but as the
years tick off and you arrive
in the middle forties, you will
perhaps find that a lack of har-
mony prevails. And that is
something you must watch for.
The brightness of your hair
will have aecentuated the
changes in your face and usu-
ally a hard" expression is evil
denced. The little fine lines
and somewhat altered express
sion that has taken place with
the change in years seem out of
place With the brightness Of
your hair.
Perhaps nature is right in
altering the shade of hair to
correspond with the other
changes she is constantly work
ing. Usually the softening in
the coloring of ones hair like
wise Softens the features as
we grow older, making for
harmony in expression.
Awkward Stage
I do not mean that Streaked
and faded hair cannot be i'm
proved through touch-ups or
dyeing, but I do feel that
caution should be exercised in
the avoidance of unnatural
ness.
If blonde hair can be cleverly
touched up through the awk-
ward stage when it is in the
midst of grazing, then the
worst is over and every blonde
should let her hair gray, and
grow old gracefully.

Teach Baby Use
Or the Bottle
Early
BY MARTHA WINsLOW

A mother writes me that her
two-year-old little girl refuses
to drink milk from a cup. She
likes milk and will take it will
ingly from a bottle. But the
cup she turns down.
OF course, Miss Baby should
have been trained to a cup
long ago. A child Of her age
should have long ago forgotten
that there were any such things
in the world as bottles.
But since this particular
youngster land many more like
herr wasn't so trained the
problem is how to accustom her
to a cup.
More FineSSe
The mother suggests elim1-
mating everything on her diet
but milk in a cup for a few
feelings.
That might work but I have
q conviction that with this
particular little problem" it
might not. So we must ap-
proach it with more finesse.
In the first place she MUST
have her milk. And in the
second she MUSTN'T have it
from a cup.
So my suggestion is that the
milk be included in her other
foods, such as soup, cereal,
custards. junket, etc.
With Other Food
Quite appointing little dishes
may be prepared containing
anywhere from half a cup to a
whole cup of milk. BY the end
of the day baby will have had
her whole quart Of milk but
not in a bottle.
She should, however, be en-
couraged to drink her water,
orange Juice and everything else
liquid, from her cup to accuS-
tom her to the idea. The SOON
er she gets used to the idea that
cups are drinking utensils the
better.
This mother, and her coun-
terpart among other readers,
would have been saved all this
trouble and worry, if she had
started the baby on cup when
weaving her. Or, if she was a
formula baby, at about the
eighth month.
Easier At First
It is easier at first to continue
giving the bottle. There is less
trouble with splitting and none
of the arguments that wear out
a mothers nerves and patience.
But in the long run it pays.
The change has to be made
eventually and the longer it is
postponed the harder it is.
Let the baby take a few sips
of water from a cup as soon as
he or she sits up. Give the
youngster orange Juice. from a
cup. And the problem of wean-
ing them from the bottle will
be greatly Simp1ified.

Shoes Reflect

Special Correspondent Of The Washing
ton Times in New York. Americas
Style Center
NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-This
"windblown whirlwind that has
struck Fashion like a cyclone,
has touched bottom at last"
Shoes are the latest fashion
fancy to be swept off their feet
by this windblewn business, in
the shape of ,open-cut oxford
ties with swirling decorations
from heel to toe. But wind.
blown modes are not the only
ones to be reflected in spring
footwear. Streamline models,
Cossack clothes and Tyrolian
costumes all begin at the
head and end at the foot these
days.
For Every Style
There's a shoe for every style,
from a halo hat to a pleated
hem. An opera pump pleats its
tongue to match a pleated frill
on a frock, an oxford tie re-
fleets the bow-tie theme in its
bow-trimmed vamp. You can be
all-Mexican, all-Tyrolian or all
Russian from your head to your
heels this season, with the aid
of these shoes.
Americas feet-feminine feet,
of courSe-are stepping right
out, into the open this spring
almost out of their shoes alto
gether. Open cut-outs expose
most of the foot to the spring
breezes, in line with the open
air fad that started by sports
shorts and backless bathing
suits.
Barefoot Sandals
Those barefoot sandals
which were a strictly after
dinner fashion last season, now

laced sports shoes, open-cut
street shoes and-ever so dis

genre.
Perforations like these are
particularly smart in various
ornamental designs-triangles,
circles, etc.-and became per-
fectly devasting when under
laid with leather of a contrast
ing color. Blue may be under
scored by white or gray, brown
by beige, and black by white or
red.
COlOrs Contrast
Whatever wild color combina-
ton your costume decides to
display this spring, you're sure
to find it in shoes as well. Or
as last resort, you can always
fall back on those perforated
models which have nothing be-
tween them and the skin ex-
cept a silk stocking, thus show
ing the stocking color under
the perforations in perfect
misunderstanding harmony.
Contrasting colors have been
discussed here in suclA detail
because they're probably the
most important style point in

such as kid with patent leather,
are another way of achieving

lkE SLMOPOULOS DESCRIBES new DELICIOUS WAY TO USE EGG


CHILDREN ALL love the Three Little Pigs" and will
welcome their presence at of their parties
Excellent taste has been used in preparing the pack
ages of favors and decorations.
They in attractive pink and blue colors and
add to the attraction of the party table They also
proving popular with the grown-ups.
The box that contains all the fixngs for the party
not only peases the children but endless hours and
pennies for mother, too. Available in Washington
store. Call Wilma Lave for information about it.
The Washington times., 1934-02-24

But there's a happy solution
for this problem, as there is for
nearly all of our troubles. The
solution is the clever boxes of
party favors, decorations and
SO on, that the stores are now
selling, at a comparatively
small cost.
Children Love Pigs
\ The newest of the party boxes
is the Three Little Pigs" box.
You may be tired of these
piglets, but children aren't, as
you can easily find out by let
ting them hear the song over
the radio on one of its infre-
quent appearances. They adore
the pigs, the wolf. the song and
everything to do with the
picture.
Complete Party
The box comes complete with
table cloth, Is napkins, center
piece in the shape Of the wise
little pigs brick house. and
ribbon swags to attach the
favors to. (The favors are in
cluded too). There are eight
of all the necessary things such
as nut cups, cut-outs, place
cards, and so on. And best Of
all, there's a "pin the tail on
the piggy" game, to consume
difficult hours.
Most inexpensive
If you stop and count the
many nickels and dimes all this
would cost you if you bought
the things separately, and how
little you'd get, you will think
the price of $1.25 is very small.
It gives a complete sitting
down party for eight children,
or a buffet affair for 10.
Last but not least, such a box
cuts your work just about in
half. for you not only avoid the
tiresome necessity of shopping
for favors and other small
things, but everything comes
ready to put up, and saves you
q great deal Of time at home.
Fun For Grown-UpS
Incidentally, the box comes in
a color scheme of pink and blue,
and sets the daintieSt table you
can imagine. So there's really
no reason why you couldn't use
it for a grown-up party that
may be informal.
For the name Of the store
showing this party box, write

dressed stamped envelope, or
telephone her ut District 1000.

Questions
DOCTORS AND COSTS

Question: I have never had
my 1-year-Old baby to a baby
doctor because I couldn't afford
it. Now 1 want him inOcuIated
against diphtheria. Where could
I have it done at little cost?
Mrs. B. ].
Answer: I strongly urge
mothers who cannot afford a
good doctor to take their chill
dren to clinic. We have excel
lent ones in Washington with
the best baby specialists in
charge. I suggest that AIRS.
B. j." take her infant to the
Children's Hospital Clinic for
examination and incubation.
AS a final word on this sub
ject of doctors-baby specialists
aren't any more expensive than
any other kind. And with a
baby, on a formula especially,
they pay in the end. I am all
for the good old family doctor,
but when you need advice on
an infants diet believe a spe-
cialist is what his title implies.

Would Like to Go to Movies
And Visit
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Couldn't you write q story
sometime about men who ex-
pect their wives to sit at home
unless friend husband is in the
mood to go out? My husband
doesn't think I ought to go out
alone at night, and he'd rather
sit at home before the fireplace.
Well, I like that too, sometimes,
but I think a person should go
out once in q while to see
friends, or to an occasional
movie, don't you?
Stay-atHOme Wife
7 agree with you thoroughly
that one should have outside
contacts, see friends and go to
the movies. At the same time,
you must remember the average
man works so hard these days
earning the elusive dollar, that
when he comes home at night
the open fireplace must look
pretty good to him. Try to ef-
feet a compromise. If he'll agree
to go out with you some even
ings, agree to watch the fire
with him. very amicably. on

He takes me to dances and
movies almost every night, but
is always reminding me not to

you do? LONESOME.
Since you've asked for my

Should Dance With His
Partner First

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I would appreciate it very
much if you would settle a
problem for me. My husband
and I go out to a good many
dances with another married
couple, and my husband al
ways has the first dance with
the other woman. I insist the
first dance should be with me,
as he is my escort, even though
we're married. Thanking you
for the same. M,D.F
A man always dances the
first dance with the lady he
has brought, whether she is
his wife, or not, and he dances
with her once or twice during
the evening. and the last dance
as well. He sees that she gets
her supper, keeps an eye on
her, that she may not be-
come "stuck" with a bore, and
is as polite to her as he was
before they were married.
