The postwar waves of depression
and hard times with which Europe
has been menaced for many months
are sweeping through the United
States with all indications pointing to
their continuance for at least two
years more, until taxes and prices are
readjusted and the markets of the
world can once more receive the sur
plus produce of this country
The unsettled condition of the coun-
try Is making it imminent that an in
creasing number OF women "requisi-
ton ard use every article that can be
obtained at reasonable prices and con-
structed TO either follow or improve
the prevailing mode" OraCne. New
York designer of women's costumes,
who is visiting here, stated.
TOO many women" the designer
commented, buy any clothes that hap
pen to strike their fancy, without
stopping to consider whether they are
becoming or suit their personality. A
woman" he continued, should seek
to express her personality through her
are inconsiderate of their husbands in
the large amounts they expend on
costuming themselves when by requi-
sitioning some of their innate ingenu-
ity and a little imagination they could
gown themselves modishly and taste
fully with less extravaganza.
Should Learn Sewing.
TOO often is the remark heard:
. No
girl should know how to sew-should
at least know the stitches and rudi-
ments. Sewing" the designer stated
should be included in the curricu-
!um of compulsory education. The
law compels one to be properly
clothed. 1t also should compel them
to learn simple sewing accomplish
ments. Every woman should be able
10 show her ingenuity with the needle
and inventive ability in costuming.
Speaking of the opportunities tc
learn sewing, crocheting, embroider
ing, and such accomplishments Mr.
Che pointed out the fact that such
learning had been made accessible tc
everybody by the free courses in sew
ing and millinery offered by vocation
al schools and the numerous CORE
spondence schools in the country
which afford a chance for those no
located near vocational schools. Mr.
Cne mentioned the dress forms, sucf
as many women have been maxim:
here in vocational classes, as an in
valuable aid to the woman wishing t
increase her ability in sewing.

Skilled designers and cutters de
vote their time to creating new mod
els and the patterns for them at small
prices are available to everyone" MI
Che said. The distinctive touches il

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am the
mother of three married children, two
daughters and one son. My husband
has been dead for seven years. Since
his death | have made my home with
my children, changing about so that
no one would get weary of having me
around.
1t may sound strange but l am hap
pier with my sons wife than with
either of my daughters. Ny sons
wife is very sweet and she loves her
husband so much that she includes
anything that is his in her love. |
have a special room in their home
and / am made to feel that at any
time | am welcome and wanted.
One of my daughters is not happily
married, and when l am with her l
can see that l am only making it
harder for her. Her husband does
not like me and he is very irritable
all the time that | am making my
visit.
1t is my other daughter who is
my problem. | am sure that she loves
me and when l am away from her
she thinks she must have me with
her But when get there she is very
unkind in the way she treats me. She
corrects my grammar and my table
manners and she doesn't like my
clothes, and by the time | have been
with her a month | feel absolutely
wretched.
Ny son and his wife are going away
for three months. He is sent away
on business and he is taking his little
family with him. / can stay at their
home and be perfectly contented, but
my daughter with whom | cannot get
along is very anxious TO have me with
her. She has had one of her rooms
papered just so that it will be prettier
for me.
/ do not want to hurt that daugh-
ters feelings, but l would be much
happier in my home, or rather in the
home of my son and his wife, which
seems TO me the place | want to call
home too. What would you advise me
to do? CLOUD.
Stay in the home of your son and
your wife, where you will be happy
1t is foolish to be so afraid that you
will hurt your daughters feelings
when she shows such little considera
ton of your feelings. II would do hel
good to know the truth and NIGH
make a sweeter woman of her. Prob
ably when she gets older she will fal
into many of the little habits fol
which she criticizes you now.

Mrs. Taylor was often there, Mar
gerry and Ella came often. There were
two girls that / liked most of those

married, the other engaged.

The sewing party grew. Several
of the young girls living near me de-
veloped the habit of coming over with
their work about o'clock, and from
2 until 4 we all sewed, out under
the trees. At 4 l served tea and for
almost an hour we talked. Mrs. Tay-

NEAR AGREEMENT
Secretary Davis Said to Have
Made Splendid Progress
Through Conferences.

Clearing up of the controversy be-
tween the big five packers and
their employees over wages and hours
and recognition of the wartime
agreement appeared probable today.
Secretary Davis of the Department
of Labor, who has handled the mat
ter since last Monday. was in con-
ference with Redmond S. Brennan
and Dennis Lane, representing the
employees. The packers representa-
t,ves did not confer with the Labor
Secretary today and would not do so,
it was explained, until called by Mr..
Davis.

ed commissioner of labor statistics,
was called into the conference this
morning and is understood to have

tary is said to have presented to the
employees spokesmen. Howell Davis.

Royalists Expect Mr.. Hard
ing to Recognize
Ruler.
By the Associated Press.

ATHENS, March 23.-Dr. Alexander
Vouros, who has been named Greek
minister to the United States, will
have the status of charge d'affaires,
according to the passports issued to
him by the Greek government.
The American legation here de-
clined to wise DR.. NGuros passports
as minister, pointing out that Presi-
dent Harding has not as yet es-
tablished relations with King Con-
stantine.
Following this action. the Greek
foreign office has amended the pass"
ports issued to the diplomat.
DIR. Vouros was at one time charge
dafraires at Washington.

but it is declared here the United
States will not appoint minister
to Greece until the arrival of Or.
Vouros at the American capital.
