HEART AND BEAUTY

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My wife is
the mother of three beautiful chill
dren. Her mother lives with US and
keeps house for US.
My wife insists on working in a
downtown store against my will. |
have always had confidence in her
until about a month ago. 1 wanted
to see her on some business during
noon hour. L went to the room where
she was working and found her out.
but soon located her in another room
with another salesman. They both
seemed very much embarrassed as
there was no one else on the floor
I spoke to her about it later on and
she said I was just Jealous and she did
not see my side of the subject.
Do you think l had any reason to
feel hurt? I have always treated her
the same since, but do not feel as if
she were true to me. I have never
cared for any other woman. I have
wanted her to quit that place. but she
only laughs.
Do you think she should work
where 1 object to her working? Our
home life is beautiful.
L do not like the looks of this other
man, and he is also married.
do not believe your wife is untrue
to YOU. Since your home life is beau
tiftil, you may be sure that she enjoys
her companions of the business world,
but loves only her husband and her
children. Haven't you seen men EN-
barrassed when their wives stop in to
see them? There is nothing to cause
the embarrassment but it frequently
occurs.
Have more confidence in yourself.
Jealousy will only cause hard feeling
and lack of sympathy between you
and your wife. No woman should
marry unless she is willing to give up
her business life if her husband asks
it Therefore / think your wife should
stop working and devote herself to
you and the children. But. since she
will not. you will have to put your
mind at rest and be happy the little

AS a result of wartime economies
there are millions of Americans today
who. for the first time in their lives,
are saving money. A continuation of
these practices of thrift, so necessary
TO the nation, can best be assured thru
the introduction of a popular home
owning impulse. 1t is easier to save
money for a fixed purpose than it is
to save it merely for accumulation,
and no object could be more worthy
OF the practices of economy than ones
own home. The home that has been
bought and paid for out of a mans
savings will impart a feeling of sub
stantial possession and concrete ac-
complishment that can be acquired in
no other way. It will stand as per-
Z manent monument to his Industry and
: frugaIity. and will serve as a constant
s Inspiration to gain still further pos

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.
Women and Clothes.

SlOtISS@I
A woman doctor has been saying
that the present fashions make women
knock kneed and pigeontoed. and
hump-shouldered, and she predicts
coming race of feminine freaks and
monstrosities.
These are gloomy forebodings, but
before we shed any tears over them
let us reflect that woman seems to pos
sess the mysterious power of altering
her body at will, so that what looks to
be a permanent physical defect is elm
mated as easily as one takes off ones
hat.
Recall that only just prior to the
war every young girl affected the de-
butante SLOUGH, and went about with a
hollow chested. aenemic stoop that
made her appear a victim of the early
stages of tuberculosis. Then came the
war and trig uniforms, Sam Brown
belts and other military paraphernalia
that required a straight back and
broad shoulders and a well set-up fig
ure to carry them off, and in the
twinkling of an eye the girls all chang
ed from sickly little Camilles to
husky MinervaS.
What man by taking thought, can
add cubit to his stature?" inquiries
Holy Writ, and nc man answers. But
there isn't a woman who does not
or thin. tall or short have a waist line
that is under her arms. or down to her
knees as fashion dictates. It's not
their bodies but their minds that wom-
ems clothes affect, and a whole Sartor
Resartus could be written on this SUBJ
ject showing not only how women's
moods express themselves in their
clothes, but how their clothes alter
their moods.
Women know this. They know that
when they are happy and joyous they
want to put on something that is gay
colored. fluffy and diaphanous. some-
thing that is as light. airy and sub
stanti;l as the warp and wool of joy
itself. And they know that when they
grieve they instinctively shroud them
selves in black.
There is not woman~who does not
know that when she puts on severe,
plain tailor-made gown, with a heavy
tailored shirtwaist, that she holds her.
self sitter and straighter, and-is more
serious and -dignified in manners and
conversation than she is when she has
on. say. a spangled net dress. or an
embroidered chiffon. 1t isn't altogeth-
err that the flirt and the coquette pick
out giddy raiment, and the puritanical
maiden selects sober and discreet
garb. It's the giddy raiment that
makes the staidest woman flirt and
coauette when she gets it on. while the
discreet gown turns its wearer into a
Puritan.
when her costume is in deshabille her
conduct is likely also to be. Corsets
are a moral as well as physical sup
port. and when a woman takes them
off. she becomes as loose in speech and
manners as she is in looks.

THE REAL WORKERS KNOW.

There is caused more or less alarm
In the business world by frequent re-
ports of labor unrest, but it should be
remembered that big business means
big factories. big pay-rolls. big dinner
pals and it ought to mean not only
big wages for the workers but also big
dividends for the stockholders who
put up the capital for the enterprise.
Down deep in his heart, the real pa
triotic American workingman knows
that this is the truth. He is not the
instigator of strikes. He is not found
in the mobs that chase willing work.
ers away from the factory that former
strikers would close. He does not
hope to tax capital to death. He
knows better.
If it were not for the achievements
of capital in the last century. the
world, if it were dependent solely
upon manual labor. would be engaged
in a face-to-face struggle with starva-
ton, cold and nakedness. All the
7 manual labor of the world under
such conditions could not feed. clothe
and shelter the teeming millions of the
earth.
So far from owing its growth Ia
manual labor. the world has pro-
crossed chiefly as it has eliminated
hand labor. The worker himself Is
the greatest beneficiary OF this
change. Wages are never so low as
in those countries where hand labor
predominates. Production is the key
to human progress. and it is meas
ured by the sum of individual contri-
| buttons to the common stock. 1t is
the so-called labor saving devices
originated, developed and organized
by capital that have enlarged these
contributions.
On the farm, in transportation, in
factory, mill and shop the productive
efforts of mankind have been multi
Piled tenfold by the mechanical de-
vices given to the world by capital
In the United States alone, it is esti-
mated that our railroads perform tbs
! work of 17,5O0,O00 men and $1,000,
900 horses. What would be our stu
