ops Garden were brought from
the Acquia Greek quarry once owned
by Gen. Washington. His slaves cut
them over a century ago. Perhaps
the steps that lead from the ivy
covered shadow house." down along
the yew walk, still feel the light tread
Of Nellie Gusts feet. They were
brought from Abindgon, her birth
place.
The cottage herb garden and the
quaint, semi-circular storeroom in
which It's products are sold form
another phase of feminine enter
prise at the Cathedral that is ap-
pealing widely to the Nations
women. All over the country herbs
are growing from cuttings bought in
this shop.
Few pilgrims pass through the
Cathedral without paying visit to
the crypts, where the vaulted vista
that stretches ahead for over $50
feet is an inspiring view. In this
Women's saga the crypts are entitled
to a chapter. Washington Cathedral
is Americas Westminster Abbey. AL
ready 1t contains the tombs of sew
eral of the country's most famous
sons-WoodroW Wilson and Admiral
Dewey among them. Mrs. DeWey's
body was laid beside that OF the
admiral in 1881 and the tombs of
Bishop Satterlee and Bishop Hard
ing also are shared by their wives.
In this respect Washington Cathe-
dral differs from Westminster Abbey,
for in the latter a wife's body is not
permitted burial beside that Of a
famous husband.
Homage was paid to all women
when Washington Cathedral gave a
place of honor in its crypts to the
ashes of Mrs. Ann Macy, friend and
instructor of Helen Keller. Mrs.
Macy had no personal connection
with the Cathedral-she was not
even communicate of the Episco-
pal Church-but the Cathedral is
proud to recognize the service she
rendered to humanity through her
pupil.
The north porch is the gift of the
women of America. Since the scope
of this enterprise is Nationwide. it
is in charge of committees working
in practically every State of the
Union. The chairman in every in
stance is a woman whose capacity
for leadership and organization has
been demonstrated. Hardly was the
work under way when the depression
of 1929 came over the country and
as the lean years continued pledge
after pledge to the Cathedral fund
was necessarily broken.
The question of finances was
brought by the dean and chapter to
the Womens Committee, who Of
fered to divert, for the purposes of
maintenance, funds which had been
earmarked for various gifts. One
woman, for instance, who had de-
sired that her annual donation be
used to purchase statues for the
inches, generously permitted the
money to be employed for mainten-
ance. 1t was in no small measure
due to such help from the women's
associations that the Cathedral came
through the depression without a
deficit.

or punch, nibble your sandwich and
go home. A tea is a movable
feast" and constant coming and
going is the only thing that pre-
vents overcrowding. Thirty minutes
is long enough to lnger-unless it
is tea dance and you happen to
be a swing addict. Then you can
stay a bit longer-but don't forget
that afternoon parties must end
sometime!
If Husbands
Attend.
Sometimes you can get them to
go with you-and more often you
can't. Men, as rule, have an
antipathy toward "tea fights" as
they term them and here in WASH
ington we are unusually fortunate
in having that rule broken as often
as it is. So if you have managed
to coax or bully your husband into
submission, you can count yourself
a successful woman. And if you
can get him into cutaway, or short
morning coat of black, complete
with stripped trousers, black shoes,
stiff collar and proper tie-you are
even more than that-you are
wonder. If compromise must be
effected, let the victim wear a dark,
well-cut business suit, with black
shoes, a white shirt. stiff collar and
dark-tonee four -in-hand tie.
To be entirely correct, this type
of tea requires party call. which
should be promptly paid within the
next two or three days. Make a
note of this on your engagement
pad when you return home, SO that
you will be sure not to overlook 1t.
And, in her turn, the debutante
should be sure to write you gra-
cious and PERSONAL note of apprecia-
ton for the flowers or gift which
you have sent.

The Pilferer
Not Really
A Thief
Give the Youngster
Help and He Will
Come Through
By ANGELO PATRI.

Little things had been missing
from lockers for a month or so
Somebody's sweater, purse, stop
watch, sneakers, lunch money left
in a coat pocket. Who in the world
could it be? The janitor set watch
and found Walter, a nice-looking
boy whom nobody would suspect OF
such a thing, in the act of taking
money from a purse that had been
left in a locker.
II don't know why I did it; ]
Just did It," he said.
What was best to do? Should
he be exposed to the school? Should
he be made to confess publicly that
he had been the thief? Should he
be handed over to the children's
court? The teachers argued back
and forth. Nobody wanted to hurt
the boy, but he ought to be made an
example Of. Other children ought
to be protected from association with
him. Justice should be dealt him
because he had broken the law
If he was not punished he would
keep right on doing this. Nobody
felt sure his decision was the right
one, so it was agreed that his
mother be sent for.
Nobody answered the doorbell
No answer came to repeated rings
on the telephone. A special de-
livery letter was returned un-
claimed. Walter said, There's no.

This lad was lonely, friendless
homeless. He was wandering In
this world, and naturally his mind
wandered too, and this pilferine
was the expression of the lack he
felt. When one OF his schoolmates
took him home with him, things
changed. The family liked him anG

school children often means just
that, and nothing more.
Little children, under S, some
times gather in other children's
belongings much as crows gather
odds and ends and store them. They
like to have a "lot" of things. In
between children are likely to pilfel

Dorothy Dix Says
Wife Makes Grave Mistake When
Directing to Husbands Family

there is nothing that wife can
do that so surely alienates her
husband from her as for her to
mistreat his mother. On the other
hand, nothing so endears q wife to
her husband as for her to make
friends with his people and be one
of the family that she has entered
Of her own accord.
Your wife's assumption that your
family is taboo and must be kept
out of the house is too silly even to
discuss. Not all in-laws are poison.
Not all mothers-in-law are home
wreckers. No doubt there is An oc-
casional mother who is jealous of
her sons wife and trouble maker,
but these are few and far between.
The average mother-in-l law knows
that her sons happiness depends
upon his getting along amicably
with his wife and thinking her
paragon, 50 she does nothing to
disillusionize him. More than that,
she knows that unless she can make
friends with her daughter-in-law
she loses her son, so she does every
thing to propitiate the young woman
her son has married.
OF course, it is nothing but jealousy
that makes a wife want to separate
her husband from his mother. She
can't bear to think that there was
some one he knew and loved before
her, some one he still loves and de-
pends on, someone who was part
Of all his early life, and she would
like to blot her out of his existence.
She forgets that this cannot be
done, and that when she attempts
to do it she does so at her peril. She
forgets, also. that the man who can
be weaned from the mother who
bore him, who can return ingrati-
tude for all the sacrifices she made
for him, Is so poor q creature that
he is not worth any woman's having.
think that man who lets his
wife treat his mother as your wife
treats yours and who lets his wife
shut the door Of the house he sup
ports In his mothers face shows very
little strength Of character and
manhood. The sooner he calls time
on her. the better,

Blessed by the love of children for
a spiritual mother, Washington Ca
thedral is favored beyond all meas
ure in its natural situation. Many
of the old-world cathedrals, al
though beautiful in themselves, are
set in city streets, flush with
thronged sidewalks, but this New
World rival stands in 671a acres on
wooded Mount Saint Alban. In this
spacious setting, against an ideal
background of ancient trees, wom-
ans hand has wrought wonders with
growing things
The genius of Mrs. Florence Bra
tenahl, wife of the former dean,
G. G. Bratenahl, has transformed a
clay patch by the bishops house
into a walled sanctuary. Clipped
yew walks, old English lockwood,
perennial borders and profusion of
roses have made the bishops gar
den one of the sights of the National
Capital. Mrs. Bratenahl is one of
Americas leading landscape archi-
tects, and winner of the Renwick
medal presented by the Garden Club
of America. The Cathedral grounds
bear the imprint of her ability, while
the Cathedral fabric speaks elo-
Guently of her husbands vast knowl-
edge of iconography-the science
that deals with the telling of sacred
stories by means of figures and
symbols.

the hosts name also appears-and
in this case 1t Is courteous to write
a formal note Of acceptance or re-
gret-even though no "R. s. v. p"
appears on the invitation.
It is customary to send flowers to
the debutante upon the occasion of
her tea or dance; however, If you
are a close friend OF her family
you may prefer to send her a more
personal gift, such as q bit OF
charming and unusual costume jew
elry, an evening bag, an exquisitely
fine handkerchief, perfume, an orna-
ment for her hair-or some similar
pretty trifle.
This gift should be sent from the
shop for delivery on the day of the
tea and should have your personal
card inclosed, with or without some
message of affection written upon it.
Other debutantes chosen by the
"star" Of the occasion to assist at
her tea should wear simple eve
ming gowns that are not too decol-
lette, or dinner gowns, and no hats.
Their duties consist of making
themselves agreeable to all the
guests, seeing that they are looked
after in the matter Of refreshments
and in general taking some of the
burden of entertaining of the
hostess.
Duties Of
Guests.
Feminine guests-should wear their
very best bib and tucker-in this
day and age their dressiest velvet
or silk afternoon gown, romantic
hat, white gloves (unless especially
colored ones are an itnegral part
Of the ensemble) and come bearing
cards-Which they must leave, &C.
cording to the usual rules Of eti-
quette. For a single woman, one
card each for the hostess and the
debutante; married woman leaves
two Of her cards and three of hel
husbands-onef for the host, ever
though his name may not appear
on the invitation.
Debutante teas are apt to be
crowded affairs, so bear in minc
that the receiving line is not tht
place to have nice long talk with tht
hostess. Go down the line as quickly
as possible, make some short, com.

DEAR MISS DIX: My wife's
family is always made welcome in
our home, but my family has the
door barred against it because its
members are 'in-laws who would
tear. our home to pieces if they
were allowed to do it, My mother
Is gracious and well bred, not a
hysterical neurotic, as the psycholo-
gists seem to think all older women
to be. She has a keen sense Of
humor and laughs great deal She
is friendly and has host Of friends.
She has been grand mother to
me and I love her devotedly Never
theless, in the five years we have
been married my mother has been
but three times in our home. My
wife refuses to accept invitations
from my mother and hits the ceiling
when she hears that have been to
see her. She says that If she per
mits my mother to drop in at any
time she takes a notion that our
marriage would go on the rocks, and
that son who wants to keep see
ing his mother after he is married
is sissy and is not mature" If I
let my wife know that I have been
to see my mother there Is row,
but this sneaking out to see her
once in a while makes me feel like
a spineless cad. and I cannot accept
this isolation from my family any
longer and keep my self-respect.
The result is that I am losing my
affection for my wife. 1 am getting
to look upon her as spiteful. petty
and jealous, determined to separate
me from my family at all costs. I
am sick unto death at the lack
Of character that makes her do
the things she does and am going
to get a divorce If things don't
change. Unless the time comes
when all male children will be reared
by the state, thereby severing all
ties of association with their natural
mothers, I am afraid wives are
going to have to accept their hus-
bands mothers with some show Of
tolerance and grace.

How to Care
And Hair
Oily Heads Reflect
Lack of Exercise
And Poor Diet

By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II any one knew how to preserve
hair, to keep it gloriously luxuriant
and fluffy, until we were very old,
that person would not only be the
richest man alive but the most ia
nous of our time!
For close to mans love of himself,
is the love Of his hair! Each one of
us. during moments Of vanity,
wishes ardently that our hair had
its pristine glory intact! And we
60 to all sorts of effort to try to re-
gain its lost beauty.
Surprising as it may seem to you,
the oily scalp requires the same
vigorous treatment that a falling
hair condition does.
Due to the overactivity Of the
minute oil glands at the roots Of the
hair the scalp is clogged and the
hair itself is starved for natural oil.
And to add to the obvious condi-
ton, the girl with an oily head,
shampoos much too frequently for
scalp health. She must be patient
and treat 1t for at least two weeks
without letting water touch it, and
If she can possibly do so. wait full
month before getting a shampoo.
She must not resort to drying
rinSes, and too astringent lotions
or tonics. But she must be sensible
and eat a ell-balanced diet. get
more exercise and buy herself a
good, flexible, long bristled brush.
Because the care, of an oily scalp
is detailed, I have prepared a leaf
let on its care. It attempts to cor
rect your diet, inspire you to exer-
else and tells you what local, exter-
nal treatment is considered the best
by the leading scalp specialists. You
