A banquet was scheduled for ' o'clock that night with a school of instruc- tion to follow, a luncheon Thursday by the past worthy matrons of Wrangell chapter to the distin- guished officials, but without any previous notice the Yukon, reported due in port here Thursday after noon, called in that night a little before ' o'clock It remain ed here until nearly 10 o'clock which made it possible for the chap ter to hold the banquet.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
We have fixed up tiny room on
the third floor for our daughter, aged
10. The room is necessarily small,
as it is under the roof, and slopes,
with the exception of two-and-a-
half-foot fiat space in the middle of
the ceiling, though the slope is not
abrupt. ending at the side wall about
40 inches from the floor. The room
has two dormer windows and two
small ones almost on the floor on the
only wall large enough for the bed.
Can you suggest any way to make the
bed more attractive?
M. L. D., C-ittenden street.
Answer-You might put a canopy
above the head of the bed carrying
out the ceiling line and tying the cur
tains back at the sides. I think you
have room to build in a wall bed
under the caves with drawers under
the bed for blankets. This would
give you more floor space for other
furniture and the large wall space for
chest of drawers or desk 1t also Is
most attractive arrangement.

Cut the Starches,
Fats and Sweets
From the Menu.
-Korth Photo.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

THIS is as good a time as any to
give yourself good look over
in the privacy of your own room and
a full-length mirror. Scrutinize your
figure frankly Get on the scales and
let them tell their story. And if there
are some pounds too, many, you can
slim down by cutting down on your
food and turning to simple dishes.
Summer is the season for salads
vegetables, simpler foods, less of the
heavy fatty, fried variety But why
wait until the consistently hot weather
sets in? Why not start now and get
the body accustomed to a little less
food, dispense with desserts, forget
fats, become less friendly. with starches
and sweets?
Fall into the habit of taking foods
that are not fat producing. Cultivate
taste for foods that will keep you
In good form. If you think this is just
talk and more easily said than done"
you are wrong. And by way of proving
it can point to dozen stars in Holly
wood that have made their figures
what they are today merely by def
nitely developing liking for the right
foods.
Do take salads, by all means; but
instead of mayonnaise or cheese or oil
dressings, have lemon dressing. If you
must have q dessert with your meals
try ice or light custards or sherbet In
stead Of ice cream or whipped cream,
cake or pastries. Clear soups instead
of the creamed variety. or light broths;
lean meat instead of the fatty variety;
lamb, chicken, broiled steak Occasion
ally)., If you must have beverage
with your meal learn to take sugarless
tea instead of coffee with cream and
sugar. Take melba toast instead Of
bread, take the mountaineering vege-
tables instead Of those that encourage
extra poundage. Do cut down. Don't
carry it to extremes. however. And
don't cut out any of the vital food ele-
ments. The right approach (Which is
a sane one, Of course) and better
sooner than later and you'll find
yourself very much in the trim when
you're ready for your first swim.

The Old Gardener Soys:

Garden makers who grow let
tuce are likely to have difficulty
with 1t from now on. This is q
cool-weather crop and does not
thrive when the sun rides high in
the heavens. However, a crop
can be grown by using hot
weather varieties and by planting
the seed so that the plants will
be shaded by taller growing vege-
tables like corn, cabbage or beans.
A still better plan is to start the
seeds in a cold-frame and to let
the plants develop there. No glass
should be used, of course, and
shading with laths may be given
If necessary. The shelter afforded
by the board sides protects the
young plants from drying winds
and hastens their growth. Feed
ing with nitrate of soda lightly is
wise because lettuce must grow
quickly to be crisp.

Ventian blinds I hate to give up the
idea because I cannot decide on a
color to 60 with the natural wood.
MRS. T. T., Falls Church.
Answer.-You must have overlooked
the fact that Venetian blinds in the
natural wood finish are stunning.
They will carry your soft wall color
across your windows and your printed
linen draperies will be most attrac-
tive. am sure that you will find
them about the same in price and you
may have the tape in the natural
color or to repeat the color in your
draperies.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have just been given three
pairs of very lovely window draperies
They would cost good deal to have
them made and I hate to refuse the
offer. They are in soft green shade
with huge garlands of flowers in pink,
lavender, blue and yellow muted
shades My difficulty is that the
wallis Of my living room are in a fig
ured all-over pattern of creamy beige
with small medallions here and there,
widely spaced, which are touched up
with the pink and the green shades.
1t does not seem to me that the two
designs are bad together, but I was
brought up on the theory that if your
draperies were in a pattern the wall
should be plain and vice-versa /
cannot have the walls redone. and it
means that if I cannot use these
draperies to good advantage I would
prefer not accepting them.
MRS. c. M. D., Thirty-fourth street.
Answer-Your fundamental train
ing in good decoration has been excel
lent-but there is always the excep-
ton! From your description I imagine
the design in the draperies is much
larger than on the wall, and for this
reason should quite overpower it, CIV
ing you the impression on entering
the room that the walls are plain, or
at least not prominently patterned
1t is firing to have two patterns fight
ing each other for supremacy. but you
can combine stripes, dots, small all
over patterns with larger designs very
well. I think you may use the draper
les with safety and I would suggest
that you use the soft green-the main
color in the draperies-in one or two
other fairly large notes, such as a slip
cover for chair across the room from
the draperies.

Tradition That All Women Want
To Marry Is Far From True.

MANY modern girls don't marry
~ because they don't want to give
up 500 job for a $50 man. They
look at marriage with a hard-boiled
eye and they do not. see what they
would gain by swapping a mahogany
desk in an air-cooled Office for a gas
range in a hot kitchen. They look at
Mary, who was so pretty and fresh
before she married and who is now so
haggard and worn with child bearing,
cooking, washing and trying to make

Sally, who used to look like a daily
hint from Paris. and who is now drab
and shabby, and 1t makes them wonder
If marriage is always a woman's best
bet and, II she isn't just asyell OF If
she plays safe and stays. single. /
There are other women who never
marry because Of environment. There
are many Adamless Edens in which
there are no males save senile grand
pas and adolescent boys. And there
are other women who do not marry
because they are shy and timid and
do not know how to attract masculine
attention.
But most of the women who are old
maids are self-sacrificing saints who
have laid all their hopes and dreams
of love and marriage and husbands
and homes and children on the affairs
Of their families. They couldn't marry
because their earnings were needed at
home. There were little brothers and
sisters to be fed, clothed and educated,
and they couldn't put this burden on a
husbands shoulders: or there were
an old father and mother to be nursed
and taken care Of. and by the time
father and mother were dead and the
little brothers and sisters grown up
and on their own, Jennie or Maggie
was no longer girl. She was mid
dle-aged woman, with her youth,
freshness and beauty gone, her gayety
dimmed by years of hard work and
anxiety, and men passed her by for
happers.

BRowN-EYED SUSAN.
Answer-Well, Brown-Eyed Susan, I
would think that If the woman you
write about is an old maid because she
missed marrying man who was such
cad that he kissed and told and
brags about how he won her heart
and then ditched her. she sould con-
slider that her guardian angel saved
her from fate far worse than being

consideration the likelihood that she
was one Of the many women who enjoy
the attentions Of men and find them
useful as escorts, but who have no
inclination toward the domestic state,
and that she said mo" when your hus-
band popped the question.
The tradition is that all women are
crazy to marry. but this is far from
being the truth. There are many
women who are celibate by nature,
and who would rather have chimney
that smokes, a parrot that swears and
a cat that roams at night than any
man. They love their own freedom
their own pocketbooks and their own
little ways better than husband. and
they pity their friends who have to
rush home from bridge game to get
dinner for John or Mike and who have
to clean up after untidy creatures who
