For day. time, fiesh-colored, shell bows that match the tones of the skin. and are less conspicuous than the old-fash- toned, dark brown tortoise shell va- rieties are advisable.
 Right now, white gold bows are most popular. Glasses with no bows at all seem to be getting attention, too.

 If you have been boring over printed pages for any length of time, rest your eyes 6 few minutes before you go to the next chapter. First glance at a bright color for second, then cup your hands over your eyes for minute or two. Shut out all of the light and give them chance to rest completely. When you resume your reading, don't hold the book too close to your face and be sure that the light shines over one shoulder directly on the pages not in your eyes.

forehead. The bicornes are very shallow and are worn back on the head. With the two corners stand- ing out at either side of the head, the hats give somewhat the halo effect.
 Several houses continue to show the hats with fiower-pot crowns, but this style is far from universal in Paris. These hats add inches to the height of short, plump women, but also are apt to make them look grotesquely topheavy. The peaked hats are still smart--in fact, Marlene Dietrich ordered a dozen peaked hats while in Paris. Someare trirn- med with medieval wells of coiored chiffon, some have short brins that are turned up at the sides and back but jut forward over the right eye. One of the peaked hats chosen by tE actress is of bright blue feath- CTS curied into little crescents and sewed together in a lace pattern. A blue ostrich plume floats above the crown.

 Paris (UP)-Collapsible felt sport hats are the latest novelty in fall millinery. Rather high in the crown, with small brims, these hats are folded into a deep pleat that runs from the front brim over the top of the head to the back brim. The hats can be worn like mans fedo- ra but pulled down over the right eye, or the back and side brims can be pulled up sharply to make Q slose- fitting hat. They can be folded flat when not on the head and thus retain their shape better than most.
 Tricornes and bicornes are being shown lot with tailored but for mai afternoon clothes. The tricornes look likc miniature versions of mes hats of the Napoleonic era. They are worn with mesh veiles and with one of the corners fitting out over the

Food Suggestions By MRS. MARY E. DAGUE

 Have you ever found yourself gazing at a piece of leftover beef (perhaps from Sundays roast) wondering how in the world you can serve it so that the family will not shiek, That old beef again!"
 We'll, there are ways - lots of them-to make left-overs into really appetizing dishes. Here are two that may be new to you.
 Beef-Washington Style
 (Cold)
 Six tablespoons oil, 2 tablespoons vinegar, 1-2 teaspoon salt, IA tea spoon pepper, tablespoons minced onion, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, few grains cayenne pepper, 1-2 tea spoon paprika, 1-2 teaspoon dry mustard.
 Mix all these ingredients together and set in the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes.
 Slice the leftover beef and put 1t on platter.

 Bringing their tails behind them.
 Mother Goose chose girl for her worrier in this little rhyme. She knew that a boy would have gone to sleep, like Little Boy Blue and said, "Oh, heck, if they don't come back, someone else will get me out of the mess. I'll just wait and see what happens. This hay looks pretty soft"
 Maybe I shouldn't write about Bo Peep. Maybe there aren't any girl worriers any more. Instead of worrying they go of and learn typ ing, or take a course in beauty work or get a divorce.
 Worry Is Race Memory However, think that under all the modernism and in spite of talk of Independence, girls are still Bo Peeps. They worry because too many centuries of ancestor mothers had to worry. Father Cave Man had one worry, to time his shot and count on the wind. But his cave wife had measles, humps, her hus- hands enemy, her husbands tooth ache, and all the rest to keep her awake nights. Also, she was respon- eible for the herds of dinosaurs wandering away, or the barnyard of pterodactyls not being fed, If haven't got my ages mixed. Father had one worry while she had ninety. Jze has kept that one worry ever since. His wife has kept hers. And all the little girl children are go- ing to keep theirs.
 Girls are more inclined to fuss about small matters than is nec- essary. Not that boys aren't sem eitive, because they are. Even more 50 than girls. I have come to be- 1ieve. But girls have penchant for skipping the big things that really count, and concentrating on flock Of unessentials. As school teacher once said, Girls turn in heater pa- pers but boys turn in the right an- Ewers." A whole page of history in q nutshell

gers instead of her imagination, and pick blueberries for supper.
 Don't let the bell-wether's mo- tions ruin your day. Get your mind of them. Leave them alone. If the wolf gets one, you can't help it anyway. Life should not allow helpless people to watch sheep. but life does. Everyone is shephardess and there are many situations a shepherdesS can't control, especially If she is that kind of shepherdess.
 Girls Are Day-Dreamers
 Girls, I think, overworry be- cause they have too-vivid imagina- tions. They picture the dark, and at the same time draw fancy castles. They lack realism. They can't bear truth, in the sense that truth is ruthless. We paint life too much for girls. Shelter is one thing but stage-cutrain is another. They are not to be blamed if they waste time dreaming of what might have been, instead of seizing things at hand and making the most of 1t.
 Mother Goose did not know that today would be today, and that girls would learn, as they have. But are they happy? This is something else again.

that swept like wildfire through smart wardrobes last year.
 Gored skirts by Lang of Salz- burg fit Snugly at the top, flare gracefully at the hem and are kind to long legs without shapely form. Basque-like tops with perky should CT fullness to make waistlines look simmer than they really are add to the appeal of two-piece styles. Boxy, hiplength jackets, worn over straight frocks, offer an unbroken line that hides the angular bulges of the juvenile figure.
 Use Eye Catching Trim
 The child approaching the Julius Caesar-and-plane geometry stage of her career gets more fun out of living and is likely to stumble over fewer chairs if her fall school clothes are finished with attention getting details. For example, 8 jacket with bright red buttons, heart-shaped, or pine cone-shaped brown ones, will make her more conscious of the clothes than of her skinny arms.
 If she goes to school on 8 bicycle, how about a bottle green culotte skirt and matching sweater with pigskin belt and gloves? See that all of her culotte skirts are cut care- fully to mold her hipline, allow for walking and bicycling comfort yet look exactly like skirts when she is in the classroom.
 Teach Casual Smartness
 Her hats ought to be neat, turn- ed-up affairs that will stay on dur ing the most clustering autumn gale. Don't let her wobble around in high heels which spoil her pos- ture and make her look unnatural.
 Water-repellant velveteens lend themselves admirably to dress-up as well as school clothes for a jun for miss. A dark-haired child will | be handsome in a gored skirt and | shirtwaist blouse of rich, wine-red | velveteen. And bright blue vel- veteen, dark enough not to show every speck of dirt, would be grand on blonde.
 Hubby, looking woolens which hold pleats but not dust come | in lovely, rich shades such as hunt CTS green, copper brown, wine red | and autumn beige. Don't put your | little darling in gray, unless 1t is trimmed with vivid blue or scarlet. And keep her out of black suits. These are for you. She needs gay, colorful, rather cute things-not suave, sophisticated models.

NO WONDER THEY WAIT
 TOO LONG

'' T. w. Skinfiint (I'm not sure about the initials, but let US call him that) says 8 friend of his re- gently had an operation for pro- static obstruction. The operation re- quired about an hour. After the op- eration the patient was confined to hospital for two weeks with drain- age tube inserted in the bladder and a special attendant to take care of him. There was nothing gentle in the expenses, says Tight Wad. The patient paid the surgeon $50 simoleons, and that wasn't all. The hospital demanded an additional $l50. It must have been just ter- rible. Think of it-a man paying out $500 in hard cash just to gain ten or twenty more years of comfort

KENNEDY STREET
PARKING BAN HIT
Residents and shopkeepers in
Georgia Avenue Area
Will Protest.

Residents and shopkeepers on
Kennedy street, from Georgia avenue
to Third street, plan to protest to
District officials against a ban on
parking placed there yesterday by
William A. Van Duzer, director OF
vehicles and traffic.
Parking was prhibited on both sides
Of the street along the six blocks
involved.
Van Duzer explained that the ban
was ordered because the street is
double-tracked for street cars at
switching points and it Is so narrow
that one car beside either curb
makes it impossible for traffic to move
past q street car.
Residents of the street complained
that no advance notice was given of
the change, but at the Traffic Depart
ment 1t was explained that no advance
notice is required, it being a part of
the powers Of the Police Department.
Van Duzer said the matter had been
under consideration for some time.
One objection to the ban is that
residents may not now park their
cars in front of their homes, a right
that is generally conceded without
restrictions throughout the city except
in the most congested downtown areas.
It also will work a hardship on the
stores 1t was pointed out. The area
Is zoned first commercial.

Calls to Wish ROOse.
reIt Well.

A claimant to the title Of world
champion thumb-man paid call at
the White House today in hopes he
could shake President Roosevelt's
hand and assure him of victory in
November.
Leonard Stigora. 81, veritable Mi
chelangelo of the roadside, had
hitch-hiked his way from Nanticoke,
Pa, his home. to Washington yester-
day-250 miles-in IL hours.
He rode in eight cars, all apparently
driven by good Democrats, who halted
to pick him up when they read his
sign:
Pick me up or I'll vote for Lam
don"
Four years ago, with sign an
nouncing Pick me up or I'll vote for
Hoover" Stigora managed to get
Democratic tourists to take him from
Nanticoke to Los Angeles in six days.
he says.
He wrote Mr.. Roosevelt, then Gov
ernor of New York and Democratic
nominee, about the inspiration of his
sign. Mr.. Roosevelt replied;
My dear Leonard:
IT certainly enjoyed reading your
letter. You are to be congratulated
on successfully making the trip to the
Olympic games, and I admire your
ingenuity. (Signed) Franklin Delano
Roosevelt"
Stigora spent s14 on that trip,
painting signs and pictures for board
and lodging along the way. He wants
career of painting, and when he
returns to Nanticoke he is going to
do two oils for a Polish church in
nearby town.
Il like the Presidents letter so
much" he explained today at an
EllipSe bench, which he had made
his temporary headquarters, that I
thought I'd like to see him and tell
him all's well for the elections"
He was unable to see the President
today. however, and left the White
House after short stay.
Stigora's Panama hat advertises to
all his political philosophy. Painted
in blue and red on the right-hand side
is: I'm for the ace in the New
Deal" And in front is the ace of
hearts, with the notation: Ace of
all-American hearts"
Along the left side of the hat are
smiling RooseveltS and Garners, a
donkey head and "Penna."
