exact color of the gown.
 The very slim. straight and long skirt prevails for evening. Its popularity indicates that while the fuli-skirted models are per- haps more romantic, women have Q sneaking suspicion they are in- clined to be less youthful looking. Between season collections are uS- ually very good index both to advance astyles as well as to the preference of the private clien- tele in regard to the early season collections.
 For Winter Evenings
 A highlight of the collection is a voluminous, circular-cut tweed cape in a lovely plover-egg blue lined with Chambertin red velvet. This trails slightly at the back and has arm-slits. A suggestion for winter sports resort wear, and cold climates generally.
 Molyneux also carries the tailored idea through to his hostess gowns in velvet or fine lace--and these, like in the evening dresses, button down to the hem, with the three pr four last buttons unfastened.
 Twin flowing scarf ends that trail to the floor, in 8 champagne beige crepe on black satin, and e panel cape of black Chantilly lace over black velvet distinguish two widely acclaimed models.
 Sports skirts Are Short
 The few -skirted formal eve- ming models shown are inclin- ed to be less wide at the hem. One in gold taffetas has the ful- ness caught in by horizontal rows of loose shir-ing.
 Sports ensembles show slim, short skirts with hip-length jackets fitted to the figure or else straight sack coats, fingertip length, buttoning high under the throat. One en- semble had tunic jacket, with the full skirt portion gathered in all around the waist.
 Cording supplies the sober dec- orative element on many of the simple wool dresses, worn under Jackets in the form of arabesques, these outlining the decollete, vestee front and sleeves. Gift and steel nail-studded belts, not very wide, appear on many of the less formal Woolen frocks.

 The more soldiers in a land, the more Irish stews cooked up in the eveAing. The boys like their lamb shoulder and vegetables assembled in this comforting manner. Not from an army canteen, however, but from 6 world-famous hotel dining room comes this recipe, enough for four persons:
 Irish Stew For Four
 Three pounds lamb from shoul- der and breast, cut into squares; 8 medium potatoes, minced; { large onions, minced: Ia bunch celery, minced; l2 small potatoes; a bouquet composed of bay leaf, thyme and 8 parsley stem, and 2 ley, chopped very fine.
 Tn a large saucepan, place lamb, minced potatoes, onions, celery and the bouquet, then add 1 quart cold water. Season with salt and pepper and bring slowly to sim mer; just a simmer. Cook 70 minutes. By that time the minced potatoes, onions and celery will have cooked down to nothing. be- come invisible in the stock. Now ad dthe l2 small potatoes, which have been parboiled 3 minutes, and cook until they are done. Place in an attractive and suit able serving dish and add the chopped parsley just before serv- ing.
 If your family seems like an army, try Hodge Podge for the sake of peace. It is served in the new Guard Room of Q distinguish ed New York hotel. Put these surprising ingredients in a large pot: 3 lbs. ox-tails, 2 pigs feet cut in small pieces, pigs ear. and enough water to cover. Salt to taste. Simmer for 3 hours, skim ming when necessary. Then add small firm cabbage. cut in quar- ters, 10 small onions, 2 large scraped carrots and ? large scrap ed turnips. both cut as small as olives Simmer another hours Sound the mess call. then serve up this military stew. The war is over.

government that Nine. Housewife has
a tendency to feel her public job is
done.
In spite of all talk to the contrary,
the sentiment in Milwaukee still re-
mains German in its essence. The
Socialist party has its strength in
German roots. This may be because
much of the industrial and COM
mercial development in Milwaukee is
due to the efforts of its German
pioneers, whose children were taught
to carry on its traditions. One feels
its influence in the simple everyday
living of these people. Thrift, in
dustry, education and music are most
important factors.
TAKE the old German mother. In
many homes she still holds the
purse strings. Father and the grown
working children bring home the pay
envelope and she doles out only the
necessary nickles and dimes. Here
lunches are carried to work or one
may come home for good hot mid
day dinner. You see this same thrift
applied to the solution of their hous-
ing problems Mrs Housewife wants
to own her home, but papa does not
like to pay taxes. So he builds her
a tWo-story house. The lower floor
they rent and it brings in an income.
Sometimes they feel, with their large
families growing up, that even this is
a luxury. And you find them renting
both floors and building themselves
little house in the back of the lot.
However, should they rise in position,
then papa wants them to live as
befits their condition and mamma
will have a new house with every

Whatever neighborhood a family
lives in, the members expect to enjoy
social life there. The woman will
patronize the neighborhood stores,
the movies, and will identify herself
as citizen of that section rather
than of the city as unit. This
has led to large neighborhood de-
partment stores and shopping centers.
Each section has its own excellent
parks, schools, Fairgrounds and social
centers.
Once upon a time the social life
centered around the old beer gardens,
which they call palm gardens" There
are very few left, and these are
used for big celebrations or special
festivities, which are held in the
back rooms of the taverns rather
than at home. Today the social life
of the community is in the social hall
connected with the schools. 1t is the
old turnverein idea and all ages par
ticipate.
"Our women are not interested in
high fashion or apartment house liv-
ing. We want a prosperity filled with
peace and laWfulness."
This probably explains why old
Victorian dwellings and office build
ings have not been replaced with
a skyScraper skyline. AS a grand
OLD dame pointed out, crowds of
pedestrians, vehicles and motorists
wait placidly in narrow, congested
streets in the hearts of the depart
ment store, industrial and commercial
districts while ancient drawbridges
are raised to allow boats to pass. In
other metropolitan centers time may
be f1eeting. but for the Milwaukee
woman what counts is "Gemuetlich-
keit."

Recently published figures have
brought this fact dramatically to the
taxpayers attention. They show, for
example. that whereas In 1879, taxes
took one-eighth Of the national income
(Which means the earnings Of all the
people). by 1882. they took one-sixth.
and ~ 1885 more than one-nfth.
Or put It another way! In 1928, the
average American labored one day out
a every eight to pay the costs Of ma
tional. state and local government; in
lisa he labored one day out Of every six
for the same purpose, and In 1885. one

Washington's
Birthday
By RAYMOND PITCAIRN
NnfionnI Ch0irnDn
National Chairman
of the Republic

THE character, the cOunsels and
example of our Washington iuiH
suide us through the doubts and diff
culfies that beset us; they ioil guide
our children and our cEiIdren's chill
dren in the paths Of prosperity and
peace"
That tribute to the enduring influ-
ence of George Washington was ex-
pressed by one of our earlier statesmen
during period as critical to America
as our own. It remains true estimate
today.
What counsels can we recall as,
throughout the nation, we honor his
memory?
The Father Of His Country was more
eloquent in deeds than in phrases. He
lived his own precept: ACTIONS, not
words, are the true criterion" But
history has, nevertheless, recorded num-
erous expressions of his wisdom and
foresight. Many Of them hold a pecu-
liar significance In period marked by
assaults on the very Constitution in
which he incorporated his hopes for
the future OF our Nation.
Here are some of George Washing
toms comments on the great Charter
Of Liberties so intimately identified
with his life and his spirit:
"That precious depository Of Ameri-
can happiness. the Constitution OF the
United States"
''The Constitution which at any time
exists till changed by an explicit and
authentic act of the whole people is
sacredly obligatory to all"
''If in the opinion of the people the
distribution or modification of the
Constitutional powers be in any par
ticular wrong, let it be corrected by
an amendment in the way which the
Constitution designates. But let there
be no change by usurpafion; for
though this in one instance may be
the instrument of good, it is the Gus
tomary weapon by which free govern
ments are destroyed"
Experience is the surest standard
by which to test the existing Consii-
tuition of a country"
To which might be added one more.
In the light of that odd adherence to
new and alien philosophy which actu-
, ates SO many recent attacks on the
Constitution, it s,ons timely to recall
Washingtons oft quoted wartime
order:
''Put none but Americans on guard
tonight"
