Leaning the
Home
BY w. A. McKeever.
Professor in the University of Kansas
and Writer ON Sociological
Subjects

ADSSStS
n ARENTS who hinder their
adult young from leaving
home usually thus get in the
way of great eternal law.
When the Lord devised our human
form and our instructive DISPOSE
tons, He had to make a plan to
scatter and break up the families.
In order to prevent droning around
the home circle after reaching ma
turity and eating too long from the
parental board, He put into our
common heritage a youthful and
persistent instinct for quitting the
OLD nome nest and seeking a place
OF habitation among strangers.
The many parents who are deep
ly worried about their grown-up sons
and daughters leaving home, who
scheme to keep them there In
definitely, and who even try to have
them marry in the close neighbor-
hood-these anxious fathers and
mothers are literally flying in the
face OF Providence" They can learn
how to be happy without their
adult young.
Many mothers never quite recover
from the pain OF separation from
their children whom marriage or
business has called permanently
away. However, judged rightly,
their point of view seems q bit
selfish, narrow and unpatriotic.
Suppose the rule they would in
woke for themselves were made
universal. then we should soon have
a population crowded with fat. lazy

instinct Is too strong to be held In

THE WOMAN
OBSERVER
II AVE you ever been suddenly
confronted by someone whom

confronted by someone whom
you knew well and who used
to be a blonde, but is now a brunette
with the aid of a transformation?
One of The Woman's co-workers, a
blonde, has been III for six months.
1t was necessary to shave her hair.
The new hair was decidedly bru-
nette. SO In order that her friends
might get used to the change, she
bought a brunette transformation.
When she walked into the office,
The Woman had an exciting expert
ence in conflicting emotions. 1t was
the same voice, the same blue eyes,
the same build, but the hair. The
Woman wanted to be polite, even
though her surprise dictated other
wise. and consequently was speech
less for a fraction of a minute, and
she does not know for how much
longer, IL the co-worker had not come
to her aid with; How do you like
me as a dashing brunette?" Such a
relief to be able to talk about 1t!
The woman was lunching In n
small restaurant In building
which was formerly fine resi-

the Government departments. The
restaurant is well patronized by Gov.

enjoying a nice cool fruit salad. An

HATS FOR FALL
WEAR
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

A UGUST is the month when We
~ get the first hint of fall mill
linery. and this season the
shops are full Of hats one can wear
when the first cool days arrive.
Satin hats are in demand to &C
company the popular black Canton
crepe frocks, and also there is a
request for models becoming to bob
bed hair. For instance, one shop
is showing a clever hat of soft
black satin. with deep crown that
fits the head closely. and narrow
brim turned up abruptly off the face.
Slim cording finishes the edges of
the hat, and loop OF black gros-
grain ribbon adorns the right side
of the brim.
This type hat is extremely becom-
ing to bobbed hair, and. not only
comes in black. but white and gray
as well. One could easily wear this
hat with a suit or tricotine frock.
and 1t looks equally as attractive
. with a crepe frock.
Duvetyn is again favored for early
fall millinery, and one sees stunning
hats of the most brilliant colors.
Raspberry will lend bright note to
a dark costume. Soft pull-on shapes
that adjust themselves rakishly are
the best liked, and there are some
tailored models finding favor. Tas-
sells lend an Eastern note to many
of the duvetyn hats, and wool en-
broidery In harmonizing shades
makes attractive trimming.
A few velvet hats have again
made their appearance, and these,
too, favor the small, softly becom-
ing shapes.
The felt hats for sport wear are
offered in white and a variety Of
sport colors. These hats are ex-
cellent for golfing or tennis, or for
hiking. The white ones are fire.
auently seen now at tho summer
resorts and promise to be more
popular.
Satin hats with drapery Of real
lace are notable among the dressy
hats for fall wear. and are shown
especially in black. brown and navy.
The lace partially wells the eyes.
