Styles FOR
Spring
BY VICTORIA GAINES

Special Correspondents Of The Wash
lngton Times In New York,
Americas Style Center
NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-It's a
plaid-plastered season, smartly
speaking. For fashion has a
passion for plaids that gives the
spring style picture a distinctly
Scotch, rather than French,
aspect.
Coats, suits and frocks have
all developed a clan complex,
as far as plaids go, that would
do credit to the most ardent
Highlander.
Tweeds and ColOrs
Tweeds, for example, that
used to be solidly British sub
jects, have suddenly gone as
Scottish as kits. They've raided
every border clan for plaid pat
terms, until there's hardly
enough tartan left in Scotland
for even the proverbial thrifty
Scotchman.
Their designs may follow
those of the Campbells and the
McGregors, but the colors of
these tweeds are all their own.
Browns with undertones Of
green and yellow are favored,
blues are generally cross-barred
in misty grays and whites. and
black and white, is, of course,
perennially popular.
Suits or Frocks
Some suits have skirts Of the
plaid and jackets Of plain,
others reverse this order, and
still others play up plaids in
their scarfs or blouses.
If your spring suit or coat
hasn't a touch Of tartan this
season, your frock is practically
sure to supply it. It may be a
fresh, crisp little frock of plaid
taffeta, or it may take the form
Of a silk crepe jacket frock with
the plaid discreetly disguised as
a print. In the evening, plaids
promenade around in organzas
or starched chiffons, both
equally smart for spring STEP
ping-out.
Accessories, Too
Fashion has still a third to
play in making you plaid-con-
scious this season-accessories.
There are hats, scarfs gloves n
everything, sometimes entirely
of plaid and sometimes trimmed
with plaid, to pep up a plain
costume. Silk crepes, taffetas
and cottons are usually chosen,
in all colors to go with your
costumes.
And even If you don't sue
cumb to these, you're likely to
find a plaid boutonniere or
handkerchief flirting from your
coat collar or bag this spring.

Hints by Screen
Star on Hair
Care
BY LIZ HUME

How does jeanette MacDon-
aid, of the movies, care for her
hair? It's cleaning red-gold
beauty is admired very widely
and we have learned just one or
two facts concerning the care
her hair receives.
We all know that light hair
requires more shampooing than
dark, and Miss Macdonald finds
that a weekly shampoo is just
right for her hair.
"Soaks" Scalp
The night before this sham
poo she "soaks" her scalp with
oil. (Haven't tried to persuade
all Of you to do this?) The next
day her hair is shampooed with
a CASTLE soap solution and lots
of hot water. Il have recon-
mended this also.)
Then it is rinSed several times
until there is no trace or harsh
ness in the texture and each
hair is silky;soft. After much
experimenting, Miss MacDon-
aid discovered that her hair
must be waved within an hour
or two after washing.
She is one of the few women
who seems to have escaped a
permanent wave for her hair is
set, not with the fingers, but
with a regular marcel iron. And
here is a trick! The iron is only
warm and never hot at any
time.
Warm Iron
The reason for this is the fact
that a warm iron does not de-
stroy the natural sheen Of the
hair, and the ends are not split
or broken. Miss MacDonald's
first wave is only a shadow
wave," so called. Then the ends
are curled in ringlets.
To deepen the first wave, Miss
Macdonald has it gone over
daily with the iron so the wave
never looks set, but has a loose,
soft line. Her hair is brushed
daily with a circular brush with
bristles all around. This gives
brisk frictions at both the
scalp and hair and keeps the
natural sheen that working
under lights tends to destroy.
AS yet, Miss Macdonald has
not succumbed to the short bob,
and still wears the long bob of
several seasons ago.

Advice
the
LoveIorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Seemed to Like the Strange Gin
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My fiance took me to a club
dance, where everyone except
us seemed to know each other.
We were strangers. The host
of the party danced one dance
with me and left me. When
we were seated at supper, I
was put at one end Of the
table and my fiance at the
other end.
He seemed to get on very
well with the woman next to
him and danced and danced
with her, leaving me to my
self until about half an hour
before we left. Most Of this
wretched time I was entirely
alone.
y love my fiance very much,
but don't want to marry q
man if he's going to be atten-
U1NC W dI1OUl1C1 WOlAlo14 "4ACA
he takes me out. He says it
was all right for him to be
attentive to her, and I say he
should have looked after me,
as long as he brought mo.
Which of us is right? P. S.
You are right on two counts,
my dear. In the first place,
your fiance was your escort
and he should have danced
with you, and see that you
had partners, and arranged to
sit next to you at supper. The
dance strikes me as being
rather poorly managed, don't
you think so? And as your
fiance, he Should have been
extra attentive.
I should not break with him
on this count, however, be-
cause sometimes men act this
way when they ~aally are not
aware they are breaking the
rules of good behavior.
The Washington times., 1934-02-27

Accessories are much more
important than usual. as we've
said two or three times already
this season. They're not fussy,
nor are they extremely obvious,
bat they fit into the scheme of
. nHorO interesting mode.
Simply Trimmed
Shoes particularly do their
work of helping the ensemble
in a fairly unobtrusive way.
Except for certain types Of
sports shoes, they are really not
very much trimmed.
But they are of different
feathers, often in different
colors from the usual black and
brown. And they may form a
definite contrast or harmony
note with bag and belt, or some
other such group.
Pumps Important
Pumps are more popular than
they've been for some time.
This is especially true of the
higher cut types, the step-ins
and eyelet pumps, which are
really about the same as low
cut ties.
There are also quite a few

1IASEG are, OI COURSE general
rules that can be followed. But
such rules are for average babies
only. In practically all cases
they must be modified or altered
before they can be applied d.
rectly.
Egg YOlk
I have, for example, this queS-
ton from a reader:
my friends tell me my seven
month-old boy should be getting
egg yolk. Please tell me how to
start giving it to him and how
much?"
I can tell this particular
mother that for the average
baby egg yolks are in order from
the fifth month on. Some
physicians give them at the
third month or even earlier. The
eggs may be soft boiled, hard
boiled and mashed or coddled
Cooked in hot water, not boil
ing, for 6 to 10 minutes).
For children who can take
them, eggs are an extremely in
portant item. They are rich in
iron, protein, and vitamins. A
fresh egg should be given practi-
cally all children every day,
either by itself or in custard or
some other food.
Even in winter, when they are
expensive, they should be given
all children under six years old.
Protein Reaction
The first time egg yolk is given
it is well to give very small
amount (one-fourth teaspoon
full or less) at the 2 p. m. feed
ing. Increase the amount gradu-
ally each day until the baby is
getting a whole egg yolk daily.
But there are some babies
who cannot take them. They
are rare but they do exist.
Such infants are made i'll by
eggs.
If baby does get sick after
taking his first bit Of egg the
matter should be reported at
once to his doctor. He will
be able to tell the mother If
the child does have this unfor-
tunate protein reaction. And
what she should do about it.
Expert Advice
This is true Of a number Of
other foods. And that is one
reason why 7 feel so strongly
upon this subject of taking a
doctors advice on infant diet.
Mothers who feel that they
cannot afford a "baby man"
have splendid opportunities in
Washington of securing the best
advice free of charge. The
city has a number of excel
lent clinics in various sections
Of the city for just this pur-
pose. The most expert advice
is the washington mothers for
the asking.
The mother whose pride pre-
vents her taking her baby to
a clinic is making a grave mis-
take.
The little one has a right to
the best there is in the way
of medical attention. And per-
sonal pride is after all an I'M
important matter when the
baby'S Well-being is in question.

Child Health
Questions
NOT A SUBSTITUTE

Question-FOr various reasons
it is impossible for me to give
my six-weeks-Old infant a full
tub bath. will an olive oil rub
be sufficient?-MrS. S. d.
Answer-Olive oil is not a
substitute for soap and warm
water. If your home conditions
are such that it is not safe to
give the child a regular body
bath give her a warm sponge
with soap and water, exposing
one part Of the body at a time.
Apply the olive oil after the
bath.

to cope with an unknown dis
ease by doctoring it themselves
with an unknown remedy
something which they either
invented themselves, or were
vaguely told Of by some older
woman who had gone through
o similar experience!
How many tragic mistakes
there must have been-but, also,
how many important discover
les were thus stumbled upon,
and passed along to help US
even now.
These old cook books make
fascinating reading, and I have
Just had the pleasure of pc
rusing one which was lent to me
by Mrs. William Beverly Mason,
q Virginian by birth, and Wash
ington "cave-dweller" by incli-
nation, and a very lovely lady.
In Longhand
She has recently been ap-
pointed as the sole woman men,
Der of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board Of the District Of
Columbia, after having done
great work as the District chair
man of the now disbanded
Women's Organization for Ma
tional Prohibition Reform.
The cook book she so gra-
ciously allowed me to borrow is
one which she has followed
through all her housekeeping,
and which was handed down to
her by her great aunt. Some Of
the recipes it contains, bear the
dates of years early in 1900,
and are written in longhand in
faded ink, in the stilted and
rather precise language of the
day.
Gentle Cheer
One recipe that interested me
was for Cherry Bounce" Mrs.
Mason told me that when she
was little, and was taken to call
In great state, with a dress
full of ruffles and a mind full
Of anticipation, upon this same
great aunt, who was the family
dowager, and ruled the younger
generations with serene firm
ness, the older members of the
family were always given a glass
Of Cherry Bounce and a piece Of
sponge cake, while she, sitting
upright on a straight chair,
with her feet swinging high off
the floor, would be given a little,
too, greatly diluted with water,
and the same delicious cake.
Perhaps, one day, we too shall
return to the ceremony and
Stateliness of the old days, and
we might like to know how to
make that Self-same Cherry
Bounce and Sponge Cake, to
serve when our juniors politely
come to call!
So here they are, copied word
for word from the recipes in
that old book whose pages hold
so much gentle cheer and true
hospitality.

Richmond B. Keech, whose term
Of service as peoples counsel OF
the District Of Columbia expires
on February 25, probably will be
reappointed to the position by
President Roosevelt, according to

It is believed that the White
House favors the retention of Mr..
Keech because of his excellent rec
ord during the past four years in
his present position.
Mr.. Keech has been praised for
his work in pushing the legislation
necessary to effect the recent mer-
ger Of the two local street car
companies, and also for his par
ticipation in gaining the Potomac
Electric Power Company consent
decree in the District Supreme
Court.
The consent decree brought
about a sliding scale in electric

ducing the prices paid by consum.
ers here during the past two years.
A saving of over $750,O00 for the
