Peasants of Poland Like Their Colors;
Women Wear Mixtures of Bright Shades

In no corner Of the world has
modern fashion in dress made less
Roadway than in the Polish country
side. The spinning wheel and the
loom still hold their place of honor,
and homespun still is the garb of rs
per cent of the peasants.
There are four main groups of
peasant costumes in Poland. The
two most striking are in and around
Lowicz, and on the southeastern
border of Poland among the Huculs.
The others are to be found among
the Gorals in the Zakopane district
and in Upper Silesia, notes writer
in the Detroit News.
Lowicz skirts are made from the
famous rainbow wool, showing wide
stripes of orange and canary yell
low, alternating with narrow strips
of blacks and browns, violet and
amaranth, rich chocolate hues, deep
puppies, green and rose. But yellow
seems to prevail, a yellow as radi-
ant as the California poppy. The
fashion comes straight from the
native soil, for the women weave
just what they see through their
door: long, narrow fields which at
a distance look like vari-colored
stripes on the landscape.
These women wear close fitting
vests with horizontal stripes and
their white linen blouses have loose

sleeves, sometimes gayly embroid-
cred.
The Huculs run to bright colors,
which would be considered somber
if compared with those of Lowicz.
A unique feature is that the women
wear aprons instead of skirts-one
apron fore and another aft. The re-
suit is a close fitting garment with
plenty of looseness for riding and
mountain climbing. And this is be-
ing considered by stylists for sports
wear as a variation on the coulettes
that have recently been the rage.
The sleeveless lambskin coats
worn by these women also are
adapted for winter sports. They
usually are made with the fur side
in, and the outer skin embroidered
in gay colors. They give plenty of
free arm play and keep the torso
toasty warm. Hucul women wear
them all winter in the icy noun
tain blasts.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Washing White Silk.-Never use
soap on white silk. The soap
should be dissolved in water be-
fore laundering is begun.
Cooking Green Vegetables.-Let
the water be boiling when the
vegetables are put in. The kettle
should be left uncovered and the
cooking time reduced to a mini
mum.
Filling Worm HOles.-If furni-
ture is attacked by wood worms,
syringe the holes with paraffin,
and afterwards fill them with
paraffin wax.
Washing St0ckings.-Socks and
stockings sometimes become dis
colored at the feet from the lining
of shoes. If about tablespoon
of ammonia is added to the water
in which they are washed, most
of the stain will be removed.

to sleep in beds side by side, so

She came into his dressing-room,
herself ready for the day, and
watched him knot his tie, brush his
hair, trim his mustache. ''What a

tensity as he leaned close to the
mirror, his jaw depressed to draw
his upper lip taut, holding his mus
tache fiat with one finger while with
many grimaces he trimmed its rag
ged edges.
He nodded, and put on coat and
vest, slowed odds and ends in his
pockets, said, well, ready?"
She felt tautness in him, a need
for reinsurance. "You look about

It was quarter Of one.
Mrs. Sentry, Barbara's mother,
reused when her husband turned on
the light in their bedroom and got
into his bed beside hers. She did
not fully wake; just asked drowsily,
Everything all right, Arthur"
'tOf course! Perfect!"
''What time is it?"
"Quarter past eleven" he said,
and she heard the rustling of the
paper as he began to read. She
thought sleepily that he was home
early. He always dined at the Club
on Thursday evenings, with bridge
before and after dinner; but usually
he was later than that in coming
home. He was still reading when
she drifted back to sleep.
When Nellie knocked on the door

did not rouse at Nellie's knock;
and Mrs. Sentry saw that he lay on
his side, his back toward her; and
she noticed with faint jealous re-
sentiment Of his continued youthful
ness that his tumbled dark hair was
not yet thin even on the top Of his
head. They had been married al
most thirty years. The children,
babies so short time ago, were

Mrs. Sentry reflected now that
Barbara, the youngest, was almost

between Barb and Phil, both with a
gift for laughter, was there close
abiding sympathy. Mrs. Sentry
wondered-lying half asleep-what
their other children would have been
like if there had been others. But
of course there could not be. She
had, so far as outward appearances
were concerned, forgiven Arthur

So We Don't Know What
We Want?

N KAJOR criticism from the deep 'thnKerS-ano 1rom
IKl those who only think they thnkon the matter OF
the referendum for suffrage in the District of
Columbia is that we cannot agree what we want.
A SMALL persistent minority which processes to ex-
press "the better thought" among keeps declaring
that the tremendous turnout of voeess Washntonians
and the overwhelming Eyes" talles were the result only
of a concerted newspaper drive.
Now the average period of office here for Repre-
sentative is two terms-or four years. The average
period for Senator is one term plus fraction. The
logical answer there is that the folks back home can't
agree on what they want for they change their minds
about the desirabty of their national legislators almost
as and often they They also change their
minds frequently about Presidents.
That folks is democratic government-the very essence
of it. And doubtless when have national representa-
ton Capitol Hill and local government in Washington,
we will be changing our minds frequently, often for
~..1 1U,u the better, sometimes for the
'S '" worse, as do voters in other
Change Our Minds parts of the country
All that will come later-when classed as are
other citizens In the meantime this newspaper with
other newspapers in Washington accepts credit for get
ting out quite large part of the impressive vote. And
this newspaper along with the others gives whole and
hearty credit to those city leaders and civic organza
tons without whose hard and unsefish work the vote
would not have been "got OUT
But was not an Engineered vote-a term thoroughly
familiar to all politicians of great little degree In
stead it was an expression of genuine desire among all
classes of people the matter Of the franchise On that
question we were definitely THIRTEEN TO ONE.
If tally of that sort be twisted into ndecisve
outlook, then, by the token Maine and Vermont
spoke truly for these United States in the last pres-
dental election and the other foryx States must have
