romantic old town of Vincennes, which had fig

tack by several hundred Of Tecnmseh's warriors
and won for himself the brevet Of major.
At the close Of the War OF 1872 congress re-
duced the army and Taylor was cut to the grade
of captain Disguised at this, he resigned from
the army and went back to Kentucky ITO raise
crop OF corn" But friends nterceded for him
and he was reinstated a major and In 1916
advanced to Northumberland.
His first command as lIeutenant-coonel was
Fort Smelling In Minnesota then the most ad-
vanced outpost In the Old Northwest, and In
July, 1929. he took command at Prairie du CHEN
In Wisconsin. While there the new Fort Craw-
ford was completed under his direction and the
old fort abandoned because the Mississippi was
inundating It. He was there In 1882 at the out
break OF the Sac and Foxe Indians. known as
the Black Hawk war. and took part In the cam
pagn which ended in the defeat and capture OF
that Inflated chieftain.

all of 1t strictly accurate. One Of Taylor's sub
alterns was young MisslssippIan fresh from
West Point, Lieut.. Jefferson Davis, who fell In
love with Sara Knox Taylor, the daughter OF
his commander But when the subject OF mar
rlage was preached, Taylor refused to give his
consent.
The only thing wrong with that story is that
1t isn't true Old letters In the possession of de-
scendants of Taylor, now living In Kansas City,

was no elopement- Sara Knox Taylor was sent

ferson James Madison and James
Monroe-which ruled the nation
In the early days OF the Republic.
And yet these four were only half
OF the number OF Presidents which
the Old Dominion gave to the nation, even
though the average American does not remember
80 readily that William Henry Harrison. John
Tyler. Zachary Taylor and Woodrow Wilson
were also born In Virginia.
Perhaps one reason for this liz because the
outstanding events In the careers OF at least
three OF them took place In other parts Of the
country and that they lie buried elsewhere than
In the soil OF their native state. In the case OF
Zachary Taylor, for Instance, Kentucky has quite
as much claim upon him has Virginia and we
commonly think of him as a KentuckIan rather
than as VIrginian There Is Justification for

career which was to lead him to the White
House and found his last resting place there.
But recently Virginia has begun to assert her
claims to Taylor as one of her sons A year or
so ago bust OF him unveiled In the old
House of Delegates In the state capitol at Rich
mond and this year finds Virginia observing the
sesqui-centennal OF his birth with the celebra-

his birthday.
Born In Orange county. Va, November q, 1884,
he was the son OF Richard Taylor who fought In
the Continental army during the Revolution and
came out OF the war as Northumberland,
fact which undoubtedly Influenced the careers OF
two OF his three sons and more particularly that

Taken to Kentucky at the age OF six months

product that seems to be inter-

GRANGE. There is even a liquid
bath salts on the market,
which is a concentrated es-
sence without oil, so far as I
can analyze it.
The trouble with many peo-
pie is that they think with cos
metics, as they do with food,
that if a little is good more
is better. If there is anything
one must be careful with, it's
bath oils and perfumes. A lit
tie overdone they are worse
than none at all.
One fine bath oil now becom-
ing popular came to my office
in tiny sample bottles. I picked
out the women I wanted to
help me try it and gave them
each a bottle. The next day
one of them said: It's terrible.
The whole house was full Of
that fragrance the minute I
put it into the tub" She had
used whole sample bottle for
one bath.
The next one reported that
in all her life she never found
anything more delicately lovely
than this scent. She used ex-
actly three drops
The others used a few drops
and the enthusiasm was gen.
eral.
I myself put a glass full Of
water in the bathroom and into
it poured four drops of the
oil. The bedroom, the bath
and the hall were all subtly
scented with. the most sneaky
fragrance. One that you were
not aware of at first and then

With hair way up, ears
should have a bit of attention,
after having been sadly neglect

This avoids a break IN the rouge

Jewelled Clips
And speaking of ears, the new
clip earrings will be the smart

coming season. They are en-
joying a great vogue in New
York and Washington will soon
follow.
The newest Whim decorates as
much of the ear as possible.
The clips come in fascinating
gold splrals that twist around
the ear-lobe: and jewelled clips
that climb high on the rim OF
the ear.
Another new fashion includes
an ornament that follows the
part of your hair. The front

ton seems to be the latest
thing. with one or two dia-

I tried it when guests came
and invariably they said they
couldn't tell what the scent
was, but they must have some.
Another bath oil-and they
are not cheap-is a lure, too,
and can be relied upon to last
a long. long time if you don't
get too anxious to be too fra

That is, use in drops, not in

Prince Matchabelli told me
that women are forever asking
him how to have that delicate
fragrance that some women &C
quire, so subtle that you are
hardly aware of it when they
enter the room, yet it watts to-
ward you and completely snares
you in a very little while. They
think, some of them" said the
prince, that if they dab a little
perfume back of theirs ears once
every Saturday night this can
be accomplished. It's impoSsi-
BILE. Women who want to be like
a delicate flower in their per-
fume must use bath essence,
toilet water after the bath, bath
powder of the same scent and
then the same perfume in the
hair or back of the ears after
dressing"
Great attractions like that
can't be acquired in two minutes
after a Saturday night dip. The
prince is everlastingly right. The
next question is how to get
enough money to have EVERY
THING ALL WEEK. But most
women can sidestep a few neces-
stiles in favor of a few luxuries.

Child Has Right
To Chance to
Develop
BY MARTHA WINSLOW

Is it right that babyhood
should be short.
No matter how much we re-
greet to see our babies grow up
and lose the cunning ways
that so charm us it is our duty
as parents to let them do it.
We have no right to ham,
per the growth, mental and
spiritual, as we'll as physical,
Of our children. 1t is just as
cruel for us to keep them ba-
bies as long as possible" as it
would be for us to give them
something (if there were such
a thing) to make them dwarfs.
They're Persons
Children are people. And
they have as much right to
develop as adults.
The child who is carried
when he can walk, fed from a
bottle when he should be drink
ing from a cup or kept in baby
dresses when he should be
wearing overalls is not being
given his full rights as an in
dividual.
He should not be forced into
grown-up ways before his time
but he should be given every
chance to increase in skill and
independence as fast as he is
able.
The mother who mourns when
"Sonny's" curls are cut is under

any rate). But she is not being
fair. Curls are not for men

It is so easy to slip into the
mistake of "babying" our chill

to decide just where the line
must be drawn.

Who among us cared if red
wines should be warm or chilled,
or bothered about the differ
ences between Liebfraumilch

never trained to understand the

ourselves, so how could it be
otherwise?
But now it has got to be other

start examining to be able to
pass the tests that will con-

to run and who must entertain.
Therefore, I am going to beg,

Varied Field
There is a tremendous field
for research in just the one of
combining the proper foods and
wines, and I hope to be able to
find out a great deal about
those from the different coun-
tries, and take them each in
turn. Also the right glasses for
each wine. and it's preparation
as to temperature, etc.
Thank Heaven for the ladies
and gentlemen of the "old

right track to being polished

makes us feel we are really

Evidently there are thousands
of women in washington and
around about who do not wear
any foundation garment at all.
And it's usually because they
either do not know how import
ant it is, or they have never got
ten the right garment.
Foundation Necessary
It's impossible to overstress
the value to your figure Of a
girdle or one-piece foundation
garment, and many times it is
an aid to your health. Nowadays
the natural figure is the fash
ionable figure, so that all they
do is to hold your own lines in
their natural, correct shape.
If you have lost your figure
through the years, it is because
you have done nothing to help
it along. The best lines in the
world will not stay with you if
you do not wear any sort Of a
foundation garment.
For Perfect Fit
The only way to get the right
garment is to 60 to a reliable
store, and have competent fit
ter find the correct garment,
and fit it on you. All depart
ment stores, and most smaller
shops have excellent filters.
It is their job to find the right
garment for you, and you must
not be satisfied until you find
one that is comfortable, and
that really makes your figure
look better. It may feel tight at
first, but you will get used to it
in a day or two.
Prices Not High
Another thing is the matter
Of price. OF course the more
you pay, up to a reasonable
amount, the better garment
you will get, and the longer it
will last. But for around SIS
you can find splendid garments
that will do all that is neces-
sary for the average figure,
and that will have an average
life of usefulness.
If you're particularly large,
or have an unusual problem,
you may have to pay more.
Some people can get off for
much less.
Some Pull On
Then there's the problem of
getting in and out of your
girdle, if you aspire to those
super-comfortable lastex slip
onS, or any of the tight, elastic
and homeless garments.
Some go over your head, and
it takes several minutes to work
them down in place, so that
they will fit snuglv about your
hips, and not ride up into your
waist.
Others Roll Up
Others are rolled up from a
step-in position. You just fold
them halfway down, pull up
until tight, then roll the top
up into place. Be sure you get
a girdle long enough for you,
for a short girdle will not stay
down.
