More Pets
Are Reported
Missing
By LIZ HUME

We are just beginning to de-
eide that this lost dog situa.
ton is a racket. Those in need
of square meal must be going
in for this form of kidnapping
with eyes on the small remu-
nerations they will get for re-
turning the animals.
Our two most recent re.
ports have come from E. B.
Wagner, of 6602 Delafield St.,
Chevy Chase, Md, and Miss
Bertha Pflieger, of 1919 Ver-
mont Ave. N. w.
Mr.. Wagner has lost white
dog with brown ears and two
brown spots-one on the right
side and one on the tail. One
black eye. Weighs about IS
pounds. Short haired and re.
sembles a pointer. Was lost
Wednesday, November 7, and
the owner believes that some
one may have picked him up
thinking he was a trained bird
dog.
The dogs name is Wrinkles,
and he has on his collar an
identification tag with the
name and address of the
owner printed on it.
The owner offers a reward
and says that no questions
will be asked if the dog is re-
turned.
Miss Pflieger's dog strayed
away or was picked up near
her Vermont Avenue residence.
He closely resembles a Spitz-
is small and white. He is
about 13 years old and his
mistress has had him since
he was a puppy. She is very
anxious about his return, and
also offers a reward to the
one who brings him back.
If you have any information
about the two dogs-either
get in touch with us at Dis
trict 1000 or E. B. Wagner, at
Wisconsin 4093-J, or Miss
Pflieger at Metropolitan 1904.

PATTERN 2O74

Here's a gown with stateliness
and poise, not intended to rival
the dresses of youth but to out
shine them. Make it of velvet
and use lace for the bodice and
upper sleeves, or make it of
satin-backed crepe, using the
satin-back for the contrast.
The skirt keeps the slim lines
of the mode and yet provides
graceful fullness by means of
that slenderizing front panel
which breaks into pleats below
the knee.
The bodice boasts a Surplice
closing and a yoke, pointed back
and front, to flatter the more
mature figure. And the sleeves,
softly full to just below the el'
bows, are gathered into long
trim cuffs. Short sleeves, as
well, may be made with the pat

displayed in waistcoats and
sometimes in stocks or ties.
For coats, tweedS, homespuns
and rough woolens are used.
Plaids are newly smart, with
glens quite good. Checks are
worn, too, but most often the
coat will be of a fairly incon-
spicuous pattern, for you must
be careful of your combinations
if you're going in for anything
loud or full of pattern. Coats
may be single or double
breasted, but for hack riding
are usually single-breasted.
Harmony Important
Breeches are of whipcord,
cavalry twill or gabardine, &C.
cording to the weight and type
you want. Most people here
have breeches and jacket in har-
monizing tones, for instance,
brown coat with beige trousers,
or brown and beige checked or
plaid coat with beige or tan
trousers.
Many well-dressed riders have
one of the local stores order
their habits, made to their
measure, and from what I can
find out about it all, they are
very successful. There's a good
selection of materials, and the
man in charge can advise you
as to the best style and cut for
your particular figure.
Vests May Be Gay
AS to waistcoats, they can be
rather gaily plaided or checked,
always in harmonizing colors,
though contrast is all right. If
you wear shirt and tie, the tie
may be in a becoming color,
though stocks are usually white,
or they may be in a neat pastel.
String gloves are always
worn, and hard hats are advis-
able, as they save your head in
a possible fall. Of course the
derby is correct for informal rid
ing. Hunting habits are a sub
ject in themselves, which we
haven't space to go into now.
And if you hunt, you will prob
ably know what you want any
way.

UncOnfeSsed Love

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been much interested
in reading in The Times sun
dry and various confessions
about losses and the girls who
work for them, which leads me
to become reminiscent about
the best boss a girl ever had.
He was somewhat younger
than 1, and told me quite frank

He made my work as light

Sometimes we played tennis,
and sometimes we swan. 1t
was a wonderful friendship to
me, and I think he liked me
equally well.
Perhaps it was just as well
that his work took him to an
other city, because I don't
know what might have hap
pened.
You see we were both en-
gagged and wanted to do the
straight thing. In about year
each of us married; curiouSly
enough our wedding invitations
crossed en- route. After that
we corresponded for quite a
while, but I've heard nothing
from him for several years.
Were we actually in love?
I often asked myself. And then
one day came across an eX-

Shattered Romance
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I was married only six weeks
when my husband and I sepa-
rated. I do not intend to go
back to him. Should I return
my gifts?
Should I wear my wedding
band and go by my maiden
name or continue to use my
marriage name? I am working
and do not know what to do.
They know that I am married.
No, it is not necessary or
appropriate that you return
the wedding presents.
Wearing your wedding ring
and using your maiden name
are questions to be decided by
your own personal reactions.
If it makes you happier not
to wear your wedding ring,
there is no reason why you
should torture yourself by
wearing it.
That wedding ring was to be
a symbol of happiness, not of
unhappineSs, and, if it makes
you unhappy, don't wear it.
About the form of your
name. If, in your business
life, you have used your
maiden name, continue to use
it, or if in your business life,
you wish to start to use your
maiden name. you might do
this, unless it would be too
conspicuous to do so. But in
your social life, I suggest that
you use your married name
until you make some more
definite or legal change.
In this tragedy that has
come to you it will be very
natural for you to think and
to do things 'impulsively. Try
not to do this, dear girl. This
situation calls for special dig
nifty, self-control, wise, very
wise, thinking, forward-looking
contemplation and planning.
Keep your head high!

About six years ago, I was en-

each other very often in the
store, but the company gave
dances once in a while for its

We went together for about
fifteen months and then were
married. Sometimes the boss
does marry his secretary.

Lifts the
Spirits
BY JULIET SHELBY

Don't you have Gays when
you exult in living? When
everything seems to be running
smoothly and it's great to be
alive?
Every one does, and, in fact,
if we didn't have a few Of
those days sprinkled through
our lives we would feel like "giv.
ing up the ghoSt!"
We should live these rare
days. not with our fingers
crossed, but with the happy re.
alization that we have earned
them, that such stimulation is
due us.
Women, who naturally 60
into more detail than men and
take living more seriously, need
to encourage these lovely, rare
moods. and a famous French
perfumer believes that the right
fragrance will do much in lift
ing a woman's spirits.
Perhaps he is right. We
women know that a new hat and
a hair grooming sends us out
dancing on our toes, so why
shouldn't a lovely perfume ban
ish doubtful moods and give us
hope?
At any rate, this perfumer
elaborated upon his intuition
and created a scent which he
calls his masterpiece. And he
named it very appropriately. If
you are affected by perfume at
all I feel sure you will enjoy
wearing this fragrance. It has
definitely a lifting" power.
You couldn't be downhearted
when wearing it-and that's the
ultimate test of a true essence.
It is not an inexpensive per-
fume, quite the contrary. But
the distributors have assured
me that you will be able to pur.
chase it in drains if you are
one who cannot afford a bottle.

Betsy Caswei ton are said
to exist in the lake dwellings
of Switzerland. Wild peas still
flourish in the Mediterranean
region, and it is therefore said
to be the home of the original
pea. Certainly the plant has
been carried to all corners of
the temperate zones. Many va
rieties have, of course, been de-
veloped by plant breeders and
garden fanciers.
Muscle Forming
Beans are said to have sprung
originally from a common an
cestor-a native of South
America. During the hard times
of the civil war the bean was
grown on a large scale as a
field crop in the United States.
It was found to have great
great value for feeding troops
on the march, in that it pro
vided them with nourishing
and easily carried food.
During the World War the
tremendous quantity of canned
baked beans shipped to our SOL
diers abroad introduced the
product to the Europeans, and
since then American baked
beans have enjoyed quite an
amazing popularity on the other
side of the ocean.
It is the fact that beans are
one-fourth muscle forming that
makes them so valuable to
those who have to work hard.
Fav0rite Food
The lentil has been cultivated
by mankind as far back as the
Bronze Age, and is often re-
ferred to in the Bible. It is a
native of the Mediterranean
countries, and has spread to
many other countries through
out the globe. It is a favorite
food in Roman Catholic Sec
tions, where it is eaten in place
of meat on the many fast days.
Also, among vegetarians it en-
joys a wide popularity.
remember once, when 1 was
little, I was taken to visit some
vegetarian cousins who lived in
western Pennsylvania. I was
amazed. even at that early age,
by the marvellous number Of
dishes that they produced out
of lentils- ls-croquettes, buildings,
souffles, soups, salads, loaves-
nearly everything, in fact, that
could be imagined.
Strange Growth
There is still another member
of the pea and bean family that
is familiar and dear to us That
is the peanut-which is not
really a nut at all Peanuts
also are the seed-vessels or
legumes, but have a strange
way of growing.
The pods are formed in the
air like the pods of beans, but,
as they grow, the stalks, with
their pointed tips, turn, enter
the ground, and work under the
soil. The pods finally come to
maturity about four inches be-
low the ground surface.
Peanuts have great food
value, and are full of nourish'
ing elements. When the plant
is plowed into the ground it en-
riches the soil to a tremendous
extent-which again shows it's
relation to the other members
of tho 1eo,lninouS family.
