SOME EVENTS OF
 MUCH INTEREST
Many Things Happened in the Life of Warrior Now Lying Dead

Berlin, July 31-(UP)-Durine his military career. Paul Won Hin- denburg was disliked by his col leagues because of his blunt and uncommunicative manner.
 One fncident of his outspoken manner was responsible for a set back in his career. He ridiculed some maneuvers desig- cd by the kaiser.
 It was soon after this incident he was given to understand his resignation would be accepted.
 He retired. He went to his home in Hanover and lived the life of a retired Prussian officer. He spent his evenings at his favorite restaur- ant. eating copiously, reading his favorite newspaper, and repelllng all attempts at conversation. He played chess to keep alive the in stinct for military strategy.
 When the World war broke out he applied for a post as corps commander, his old rank, but was curtly refused. The kaiser had not forgotten the slur on his own mill itary ingenuity.
 Then came the iny asion of Ger many by Russia. The imperial mill itary councils had to have linden burg. He won the battle of Tannen- berg and became overnight the military hero of Germany.
 Berlin, (UP)-President Won Hindenburg adhered to a regular daily routine while at the presiden- tial palace at Berlin.
 He arose at a. m; in summer. shortly after 6.

hat is becoming it is devaStat-
ingly so-and a mere forehead.
in an unattractive condition
due to neglect should not stand
in the way.
Oily Hat Bands
Even with a dry or an oily
skin, the forehead is likely to
appear greasy and shiny at
times, if some sort Of treatment
is not administered. 1t is a good
plan to use a skin tonic or as
tringent on your forehead after
you have removed all signs OF
the creams just to close the pores
and tone up the skin, so the
shine will be somewhat sub
dued before powder and other
makeup is applied.
OF course, this greasy condi-
ton very often comes from
poor circulation which is par
ticularly sluggish in the fore
head and the nose. That is
why little extra manipulation
of the forehead is a good
thing.
Natural Line
This condition may also come
from hat bands. If the band
has remained in your hat over
a period of months without be-
ing cleanSed in any way, it is
very likely in a greasy condi-
tion
This oilineSs comes from the
hair, but when it is ground into
the hat band. it is soon trans
ferred to the skin and it can
cause the forehead to glisten
like a new penny.
The forehead is no more i'm
portant-becauSe of the new
hats-than eyebrows and you
should make a point of keeping
them in a clean, neat line. II
they are too buShy, have them
plucked, but not in a thin line.
Follow the natural line of the
brow and just have them
cleaned up a bit. This will
vastly improve your appearance
and also will add youth to your
expression.

SatinS and laceS are better than
organdieS and stiff chiffonS for
the same reason. Organdies can
not take it on a trip like this

starchy chiffons That looked so

going sleazy in salt air.
Otherwise, you can wear any
evening gadget at sea that you'd
wear on Shore-tiaraS, trains,
etc. You might meet the love
Of your life on board-and you
want to be prepared!
For all practical purposes,
felt and fabric hats are better
than straw-except for the in
evitable Southern Panama-and
beretS are best Of all!

appeal he will probably feel
In some dim, childish way that
mother isn't being exactly fair.
UnspOrting
And he will be right. Not
only is the emotional appeal
bad psychologically, but it is
unsporting. It is taking a
mean advantage of the child
and one that he will even
tually resent.
Mothers headaches" and
mothers heart" are used too
frequently in nursery discipline.
If mother has a bona fide
headache, it is perfectly per-
miSsible to mention it in ask
ing Junior to calm down on
the steamboat business for a
bit, but nine times out of ten
the headache is mythical.
Junior in the end will dis
cover the fact and then-good-
by to further emotional appeals.
Destroys Faith
He will lose faith not only in
the headaches, but in the
mother who has played the
trick on him.
Children can be taught to be
sympathetic but not by tricks.
Sympathy is an, expression OF
a general feeling of kindliness
and the feeling should not be
restricted to mother or the
family circle.
The child who feels kindly
toward the world at large, who
is neither suspicious or afraid
of anyone, will be happier than
the one who sees in everything
about him reason for complaint
and bitterness. It is true Of the
child as well as the adult.
The seeds of suspicion and
bitterness are sown in youth.
The bitter, cynical adult is
reaping the harvest.
Be Charitable
Teach your child to be char
table toward his playmates'
failings. If he runs to you
with a tale that Johnny Next
door does this or that don't
pass his story off with:
'Isn't Johnny a bad boy"
Talk to him about Johnny.
Make him see why his little
playmate behaves that way and
try to find for him an explana-
tion that will not be too hard
on Johnny.

The problem of course usually
resolves itself into one of
clothes. While mothers have
planned for ruffly taffeta
gowns, or sweet organdies,
daughters sneaked downtown to
buy or long for slinky velvets
and crepes. Who wins? Both
Of them. For modern fashions
arrange a smart compromise.
RuffIes Smart
The tables have turned to the
extent that there's little argu-
ment now. For ruffles are con-
sidered sophisticated fashions,
and tailored taffetas and organ
dies are for matronS as well as
maids. Even ruffles are pleated,
so that they do not look so
"girly-girly."
So when we suggest ruffly
dresses for class night and other
graduation parties, it is with
no apology, for they should look
smart to both mothers and
daughters.
Paris Sponsors Net
The newest ideas are ruffled
net, tailored taffetas and other
youthful fabrics treated in
sophisticated ways. If you've
noticed, Paris is sponsoring net
ahead of almost any other
fabric, for women of any age.
Net over taffeta seems to be
the best way of handling it.
You can have contrast of color,
or you can have them in match
ing color. We've photographed
two dresses that show very beau
tifully how the new frocks are
made.
PastelS or White
The dress with puffed sleeves
IS of silk net over taffeta, both
of them in a lovely pale green.
Notice that the sleeves are not
excessively puffed, as they were
last summer. The neckline is
square in the back, and not ex-
tremely low. All these modifi-
cations are new fashion ideas.
The sash is of two tones of
green satin, the color of the
dress and a darker shade. The
skirt is long in the front, an
other new fashion. This frock
comes in junior sizes, II to II,
and is $16.95.
White Over Blue
The other photograph shows
white net over pale blue taf-
feta. CroSs-bar tuckS make
panels down the sides and are
used for the shoulder ruffles,
which are tackled so they will
flare gracefully. Blue taffeta,
fringed and puckered makes
the sash, and the ruffles on
the slip.
This dress is also $16.95 and
is in junior sizes. Either frock
would be ideal for class night
and for dances throughout the
winter. They are both avail
able in white or in colors.
Next week we will show some
white and pastel dresses for
graduation night.
For the name of the store
where you can find these
dresses, write Miss Laville en-
closing self-addressed, stamped
envelope, or call District $3.50,
