Factory PayrOlls Gain
Secretary Perkins Says

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Fac-
tory employment payrolls increased
in February for the first time in four
months, Secretary of Labor Perkins
reports.
The secretary estimated, however,
that generally there had been a de-
cline of employment of approx
mately 100000 workers in non-agri-
cultural jobs between January and
February
She added that this was the small
est decline in three months, however,
being sharply loweer than an in
crease of 100000 in unemployment
between December and January.
Weekly payrolls of factory en-
ployes increased 2.7 per cent or about
S3,800,000, the secretary said. This
gain is about half the normal seasonal
increase.
The secretary said that only 90
out of $4,000 reporting firms had
made wage reductions.

S2,OOO,OOO To Go
For Highway Work

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-Two
hundred million dollars of federal
highway aid, which was to have been
cancelled in the (more or less) sacred
name of economy will go instead to
giving men work on the roads. Secre-
tary Wallace, acting for President
Roosevelt, has written the govern
ors of states sharing in this fund
to Ego ahead" and the federal gov
ernment, within the limits Of the
original appropriation, will match the
states dollar for dollar.
1t is taken in some quarters that
this is an indication that President
Roosevelt no longer expects to get
this appropriation repealed. 1t is
quite as probable that with all the
delays on other matters, he thinks
the road fund stop gap that will
help.

~ When a marriage Is failure,
~ which one is to blame for it
4 n the husband OF the wife?
Sometimes it is the husband. Some
times it Is the wife. Generally 1t is
the fault OF both.
Whether there are more bad hus-
bands or bad wives, no one knows.
Statistics show that about three times
as many women ask for divorces as
men, but that proves nothing because.
for one thing. men stand an unhappy
marriage with more fortitude and
philosophy than women do; and. for
another thing, most husbands gall
lantly let their wives save their faces
by laying the blame for the failure Of
their marriages on them.
Nor when q marriage goes on the
rocks Is the individual testimony Of
the man and woman to be believed,
because each one passes the buck and
throws all the responsibility on the
other. AS the man tells 1t, 1t is al
ways the wife who drove him to drink
by her fault-finding and complaining,
or who was so cold and unsympa-
thetlc that she sent him to the other
woman for comfort and understand
ing. As the wife deposes, it is always
the husband taking her for granted
and never paying her any attention;
or being more absorbed in his business
than he was in her; or stepping out at
night without her; or being glum; or
reading the paper after dinner that Is
responsible for the wife's nerves and
temper, and her slack housekeeping

And when it comes to husband-and-
wife quarrel, the bitterest and most
vituperative part of it always Is about
which one started it.
\ X
NOV the truth is. of course. that
when a marriage is a failure 1t
Is virtually always the fault of both
Marriage is q two-handed job and 1t
takes the combined efforts OF both
husband and a wife to make a go of
it. Neither one can do it alone
Neither one can do all the loving, or
all the work, or make all the sacrafices
without things going blooey. In mar
riage you can't go on sit-doWn
strike and let George or Georgina do
it. You've got to do your part your
self.
The people who make successes Of
marriage are those who deliberately
and determinedly set out to make
success of it. They put their heads
as we'll as their hearts into 1t. They
try to make marriage worth while to
each other. They try to keep attrac-
tive to each other. And they use
diplomacy in dealing with each other.
They know that they have intrusted
all that they are to each other and
they try to give a good account of
their stewardship.
No marriage was ever failure in
which both the husband and wife
tried to make it success.

IT'S a real picture frock, full of
romantic flattery for slim young
figures, this new party fashion that
you can SO easily make for yourself
with this pattern that brings with it
q detailed and helpful sew chart.
That square, uneven neckline, the
shirring, over the bosom, the basque
point that makes your waist look tiny,
the puff sleeves, the full skirt, are
all bewitchingly becoming.
This frock will be charming made
up in taffeta or organdy. Flowered
organdy would be extremely pretty,
for this full-skirted, puff frock
Is slightly reminiscent Of romantic
ante -bellum years when ladies made

MUCH Of the success Of an angel
food depends on the treatment

MUCH OF the success OF an angel
food depends on the treatment
OF the egg whites-beating them to
the right stage before combining them
with the other ingredients Most cooks
prefer to use rotary egg beater for
this. 1t gives foam that Is finer, all
though slightly less in volume, than
does fat egg beater.
"The meringue method Of mixing
an angel food seems to give the best
results. In this the salt Is put In
with the egg whites at the start. Then
after the eggs have been beaten until
they are frothy, the cream Of tartar
Is added. Both the salt and the acid
cream of tartar help keep the foam
stable-that Is, keep it from going
back to its natural watery state as 1t
stands. And the cream of tartar helps
to make the cake more tender, greater
in volume and whittier.
BEAT the egg whites with the cream
of tartar until they form into soft,
rounded peaks when the beater Is re-
moved. The whites are glossy, moist
and still somewhat foamy. Beating
the whites beyond this stage will make
the cake coarse-grained.
"At this point fold in half Of the
sugar. This addition of the sugar
also helps to make the egg foam
stronger so that less air is lost during
the rest Of the mixing. Then fold in
the flour. thoroughly mixed with the
rest Of the sugar with a gentle, fold
ing motion.
After the flour and sugar are com.
pletely folded into the mixture, bake
the cake Immediately, preferably in
a tube pan. The oven should be ready
at temperature of about 325 degrees
Fahrenheit. This temperature gives
the interior chance to set before
the outside shrinks and becomes
tough.
"TN SUNSHINE cakes and plain
sponge cakes where egg yolks are
also used, the method OF combining
is somewhat different. For these, beat
the yolks separately, until they are
thick and lemon-colored. Then grad
ually add half the sugar and flavor.
ing and beat them in thoroughly.
Beat the egg whites and fold in
the sugar to make meringue Just as
in angel food Then fold the yolk
mixture into the whites and fold the
-four gently into the combined white
and yolk mixtures. Pour into an un-
creased baking pan and put into an
oven Of about 325 degrees F.
ITO remove either angel food or
sponge cake from the pan, invert
them first to cool. Then, before they
are entirely cold, take them out"

She might have chosen jodhpurs
instead of breeches and been equally
correct, and still further choice lies
between peg-top or the more stream
lined Kentucky iodhpurs, the latter
being particularly appropriate to the
slender young figure. In coats there
is wide range of tweeds homespuns,
meltons or worsteds, and in addition
to gabardine for jodhpurs and
breeches there are cavalry twills, bed
fords, whipcords and worsted. The
tie or stock may be plain or figured
fabric and gloves may be pigskin, cape
or string.
Bright green and yellow jodhpurs
are not considered within the limits
Of impeccable good taste in these mat
tiers, nor are any other striking devia-
tions from the classic tan, brown and
gray mixtures. Sleeveless jackets are
taboo and bright-colored coats are in
the same category. If it is too warm
Tor your tweed coat, wear one of linen
or hopsacking, but wear a coat.
II you are riding in the country
and go without hat, be sure to ar
range the hair securely and cover it
With a net so that it will not blow to
the four winds as you gallop along
the highways and by-ways. Frowsi-
ness is strictly "out" in this business
of riding horse, and on park bride
paths a hat should always be worn.
X X X
F YOU ride side-saddle, the choice
of colors and materials follows the
general scheme of breeches and coat.
Many women are partial to the slen-
derizing effect of an oxford gray habit
with black boots. With this goes q
black derby, with a face veil to keep
every strand of hair in its very proper
place. Either white or colored stock
Is correct, and the gloves may be
string or dogskin.
Now it's much, much easier to be a
smartly dressed spectator at the horse
show. An excellent example is the
young lady at the right above. She
wears two-piece suit with Ascot type
neckline on the jacket of softly shaded
checks in tan, beige, green and yellow
with its four pockets. The skirt is
interesting for its buttoned-up kick
pleat, which may be released for more
leeway If necessary. The classic tan
calf pumps and matching handbag
with light chamois gloves are as style
right as the classic polo coat in nat
ural color. This one has set-in sleeves
and center-back slashed seam.
Very important in this scheme of
things is the seat stick, in this in
stance an imported contraption with
the added convenience of an umbrella
tightly furled within the stick for
emergency use-a trick that will prove
its worth many times over.

The Bride in
Every Day
Clothes
Temporary Cover
On Prayer Book
A Suggestion.
Star Stan Photo.
By EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: I am wearing
a street dress and a hat with q
little veil In other words. I am not
going to look much like bride. But
I should like very much to carry q
white family prayer book, which has
been carried by all the brides in my
family. They. however. have all
dressed in white and wore wells. Do
you think it very unsuitable to carry
this book?
Answer: I would rather suggest
that you put a temporary cover on
the book, of velvet or Of brocade or Of
whatever would be most becoming in
color to your dress. You probably
covered your school books in this same
way.
nEAR MRS. POST: The question
of bag and gloves grows in i'm
portance every day as my wedding ap-
proaches. I don't think it would have
been half as difficult arranging to be
married dressed as the traditional
bride. But instead I am dressing in
ordinary afternoon clothes, as is my
attendant. We are having about IS
or 80 relatives and friends at the
church. We are having corsages in
stead Of carrying bouquets. But this
leaves our hands absolutely unanch-
ored unless We carry bags. Our dresses
both have sleeves just reaching below
the elbows and no doubt gloves would
look better than without. Wearing
gloves will present no problem for my
attendant, but what can I do about
mine? If I rip the ring finger, as is,
I believe, customary, when the bride
is wearing real wedding clothes, then
I can't use these same gloves on our
wedding trip. It seems such a waste
of money to buy two pairs of gloves
for the same dress. So, will you write
about the bag and gloves?
Answer: Under the circumstances
you should wear gloves. 1t should not
be difficult to pull your glove off. espe-
cially If you take your time to do this.
AAASA AAHAAA ~ w yOuI UldlQ VI IlOIlOI.
1t Is quite all right for you to carry a
bag If you want to, and if you do,s you
hand this to your maid of honor with
your glove. On the other hand, you
might follow the direction given In
the answer above and cover a prayer
book in material that goes with your
dress, and carry that. Regardless Of
what you choose for yourself, however,
your maid Of honor should carry 4
bag.

nEAR MRS. POST: At a wedding
where only so guests are ex-
pected at the church. do you think it
necessary to have ushers?
Answer: It will not be necessary
to have ushers If you tell each person
exactly which pew is to be his. Unless
you do this, however, most people are
going to hesitate to 60 very far up
front and all the best seats will be left
empty.

one aDSOrDS lou OF this 1eellng OF
what's what and why. But even the
amateur can get the hang of things
II she really takes the trouble to in
quire, instead of letting the caprice of
the moment dictate her choice of un-
usual colors, out-of-place novelties and
other unauthentic riding toggery.
In an effort to be of some slight
assistance in this matter we con-
suited several sources of information
and went to one Of our leading stores
specializing in correct clothes for
women, where we had assembled two
outfits that are right" in all details
for riding and for watching others
ride.
The riding clothes illustrated are
ideally suited for the bride paths
around Washington, which are SO
beautiful at this time Of the year.
They are correct for morning or after
noon, and equally good for the various
horse shows which will be scheduled
later in the spring in the nearby coun-
tryside.
THE young lady in the picture has
chosen gabardine breeches in q
rich saddle tan, with tan calf boots
and a tailored coat Of English tweed
combining several shades of tan
overlaid with a line plaid Of reddish
copper Her four-fold English stock
Is yellow and Is matched in color by
her heavy string gloves. Her brown
felt hat, with small feather thrust
into the band, has a brim bound in
narrow grossgrain.
Beneath the coat our well-dressed
young woman wears a plain shirt,
which may be white or pastel color
and, according to the weather, she
may or may not wear a waistcoat in
a plain light color, Tattersall check
or worsted to match her coat.

pay my respects, dressed to the teeth
in stiff white ruff1es, dozens of petit
coats, and a hair ribbon bigger than
I was, was given sponge cake and a
glass Of lemonade, both made by her
own fair hands-those hands that
looked as though they belonged on a
cushion to be looked at as works of
art. Once or twice was allowed into
the kitchen, to watch the great meas
uring Of sugar, the beating Of eggs
and the breathless maneuvering with
the oven. Not often, though-for once
banged the door, and the cake, just
reaching perfect pufdness inside the
oven, collapsed with an almost audible
sigh. Great-aunt's fragility disap-
peared in q twinkling and I barely
escaped intact.
So 1t was with q certain nostalgia
that read the bureaus very helpful,
but matter OF fact remarks on how to
make perfect sponge and angel food
cake. 1t Is definitely scientific and
learned-but somehow it isn't as pic
turesQue as those tense performances
so long ago when all success hinged
on quiet and proper reverence!
~
HOWEVER, here is what the bu-
reau says, and am sure that if
you have been having difficulty along
sponge cake lines, their advice should
prove OF real value:
Because of their special texture
these cakes require more careful mix
ing and baking than do cakes with
fat. In order to get big, fine-grained
sponge cake, have the eggs at room
temperature. Then the whites will
whip up more quickly to greater
volume than they do when they are
used Immediately from the refrigera-
tor.
See to 1t, also that there is no bit
Of egg yolk in the white to be beaten
and that no fat Is on the egg beater.
II any kind Of fat gets into the white
it will be impossible to get the stiff
foam necessary for sponge cake. And
measure eggs by amount rather than
by number. The number OF eggs it
takes to make cupful will vary con-
siderably with the size Of each one.
Since the air beaten into the egg
white leavens this kind of cake, all the
mixing is done gently and quickly in
order not to lose any Of this air And
when the mixing is through. the cake
is baked Immediately so that the air
has no chance to escape before it does
its part in making the cake light.
