the D. C. Employment Service, &C
cording to Lewis, but in spite of
this help, additional members
will have to be added to the regu.
lar staff about the middle of June.
HEALTH CONSIDERED
Some of the questions now be.
ing considered by Lewis and his
staff are whether the survey
should attempt to collect data on
public health measures and il.
legitimacy and whether it should
include any recommendations re-
garding the D. C. Medical Soci-
ety's offer to help in the establish
ment of clinics.

Herbs Without a Garden,

The use Of herbs in American cook
ing Is having a definite vogue after
far too long a period of neglect. In
the earlier days Of our countrys his
tory, when every family had its herr
garden, the use Of these seasonings
was a matter of course. but with the
development of city life the art Of
herb seasoning went into decline
The present revival Of herb tnterea
has been made possible by the spics
industry which has added to its line
of products many of the herbs In dried
form. For further convenience in
cooking many Of them are also avail.
able in powdered form. which makes
for easy smalgation with other In.
gradients in the recipes.

are driving automobiles and are %
distracted between love and guiding
the car that they are q menace to
everybody on the street. We are sick
OF looking at cuddly little things at
the movies with their heads pillowed
on the shoulders Of their escorts. We
are so fed up with boys walking with
their arms around their sweeties. And
we are, oh, so weary of beholding all
the kissing and the fondling and the
necking and hand-holding Of calf low
ers. 1t would be such blessed relief
If only the PETERS would do their pet
ting at home instead of abroad.

ONE wonders, anyway, what is the
matter with the young people that
they do not realize that there is a time
and place for all things. as the Good
Book says. Do they not know that
the thing that is beautiful and poetic
in one setting is common and vulgar
in another? Is love to them only
physical thrill? Is there nothing sa-
cred to them about it that makes them
want to hide it in their holy of holies.
and that would make them feel that
it was profaned If they dragged 1t
down the streets and called upon the
rahble to look at it? Are lovers kisses
no longer a sacrament but something
for the candid camera?
Have young people no sense Of hu-
NOR that they do not see what figures
of fun they make of themselves when
they do their counting in public2 All
the world loves a lover" says the old
proverb, but it also loves to laugh at
him when he displays his emotions
like any pumpkin. Why people should
look ridiculous and common and unso-
phisticated when they are petting and
caressing each other, I don't know.
They just do. 1t is easier to under
stand why We are always embarrassed
at the spectacle Of public petting. II
is because we feel that We are seeing
something that should have been pr.
vate, and that we should not see.
So 1t is good news that the young
are going to crusade against petting
1t will spare us oldsters our blushes

Danger in Glamour
Unless Backed by
A True Charm.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

WHAT are we to expect Of our
w beauty Of 1898? We can make
1t q big order. for she'll live up to it.
She always does.
Science contributing its bit to the
world Of beauty makes 1t easier and
easier for q woman to achieve internal
as we'll as external loveliness. And
it is all q pretty complete circle; q
happy one, too. because as science
simplifies matters woman considers
it challenge and raises the ante, the
very standards Of beauty.
For some years we have agreed that
good grooming goes long way toward
making woman lovely. We have
agreed. too, that facial features alone
do not constitute beauty in the
modern sense Of the word. In fact,
facial features neither make nor mar.
With clever artifice, with makeup.
coiffure, and similar "optical illusion"
tricks woman can apparently change
the shape Of her face. the size Of her
nose, the set of her eyes. Even if we
dlCIl UOlA C4udAS Wy OAlC We
reach maturity We have a fairly equal
chance of making the most Of our
selves and giving the lie to Nature.
Recently a new word has appeared
on the pictorial horizon, threatening
to take precedence over good groom
ing. That word is glamour" I am
sure Of one thing: That the wise
woman Of 1898 will not attempt to
strive for glamour without first build
ing q very firm foundation Of health
plus perfect grooming. That done.
all the feminine allure which We call
glamour" can be heaped on.
But there's danger If glamour Is
not backed by true charm. Without
emphasizing the Importance Of the
external, let us stress the greater i'm
portance of qualities that make one
truly charming. Those qualities take
in good looks, good taste, good sense
good sportsmanship. They take in
graciousness, kindness, consideration
Of others; how you walk, how you talk
how readily you can be aroused to
sympathy, yet how firm you can be-
when you need to be-all that and
more can be expected Of our lovely
lady Of 1888 And more-tomorrow

Story of Harris Tweeds.

The famous Harris Tweeds came in
to being through an accident Of ma
ture. The freezing winds which swept
across the barren islands Of the Outer
Hebrides, of the coast Of Scotland,
made 1t imperative that the natives
have warm windproof. weather-proof
garments. With nowhere else to turn,
the women of the islands took advan-
tage of the unusually thick fleece
which was the winter coat Of their
sheep, and from 1t they wove for their
men the first crude Harris tweeds
Because they had nothing but the
natural vegetable dyes made from
lichens and crottle, and nowhere to
steep their wool except over peat fires,
Harris tweed has always been charac-
terized by peaty outdoor odor. These
tweeds had been worn in the Outer
Hebrides for many years before the
fashion centers Of the world discovered
them and elevated them to the front
rank Of sports fashions.
