DEBUTANTE'S POPULARITY

dancers, are enough to make them want to go to her house: If they are think ing of her merely as girl, their main requirements are that she dance well, that she is good fun, amusing and good at games and sports. Brains, pOise, savOir faire, are qualities which are de- manded of her later. They are not important to very young people.
 l was asked the other day if family was necessary to girls popularity. It seems to me strange to have to an swer that in this age. Family prob ably is still taken into cOnsiderati tion by the parents when the question of marriage arises, but certainly it is the least important f.ctOr in girls or boys popularity.
 In country as young as America. this seems quite right. But what does not seem fair is that certain people who have nothing to offer in the way of personality or intellect, but are the pos sessors of wealth, should be popular for this reason alone. It would seem that the ideal society should be one in which other assets were considered more important than money. However, it i; chSouiuSAhS to hhOW tuaI III thC younger set the girl with not penny can be exactly as popular as her more materially fortunate sister.
 I suppose most girls do not consider the approval or disappFOval of the older generation as very important. In this they are mistaken. The wishes of parents are undoubtedly not as much of force as in days gone by, but nevertheless, the mother generally has the final word as to who shall not be invited to her house. The girl who has good manners and who makes an effort to be charming and agreeable to older women, and the parents of her friends, will find herself included much more frequently in the entertainments which are given; and will find the atmosphere around her great deal more pleasant.
 As I said in previous article. think that the members of the older generation are very much to blame for the rather carefree manners of the younger, but the fact that they are to blame does not prevent their noticing bad manners and disliking them. The girl who is clever will realize this and make an effort to show courtesy toward the older ..-ersoT, even though she may not think that courtesy is absolutely ex- pected of her. Older people notice and appreciate little acts of pOliteness, which entail really very little effort.

I suppose, there are two forms of popularity for the debutante, or, for that matter, for anyone. There is the popularity that sc0mes because she is able to offer her friends good times in the way of parties and entertaiAment.
 All young people, naturally, love to go to houses where they can expect an amusing evening, and I have often heard the remark: Well, she isn't very attractive, but she certainly gives good parties." In consequence of this, men who meet her at parties will dance with her'and be courteously attentive in hope of being included in her list of possible guests.
 Of course, no one wishes to think that that is the reason for her popular ity, nor should others allow her to feel so; but, nevertheless, it is very often the case. If girl has personal charm and is fortunate enough to be in posi- tiOn to give amusing parties, needless to say, she is immensely popular.
 Naturally, money is a great aid to giving good parties, but it is not by any means essential. There are many people who have every facility at hand, whose parties somehow never seem to be really amusing or good fun. On the other hand. some of the most amusing times that I have ever had have been at the simplest kind of entertainments because the hostess, either mother or daughter. had the undeniable quality which some people possess of making q party go. This quality, like charm. is elusive it is difficult to say just what it really is.
 Only the other day I was discussing a certain house in New York in which everything is done in the most perfect manner. The owner is rich, has plenty of servants, good music if the entertain ment is dance, and excellent food if a dinner. In addition. she counts among her friends the most attractive people in New York society, yet some how her parties are never the success that one feels they should be.
 The debutante is not expected to have the knowledge of the world, and the thOughtfulness and tact, that are neces. sary to really good hostess. And, in discussing the popularity of the de. butante, we must take into considera- tion that what appeals to men and girls of her own. age are not the per sonal qualities which will help her in achieving popularity later on. We must acknowledge that, if they are considering the girl as hostess, good music, good wines Get us whisper it ,, and companion guests who are good

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am man fifty years of age. My first wife died when our last baby was born. and I raised the child through narrowing period of housekeeping. and now have two little girls aged thirteen and nine. was widower for three years. Some six years ago l married woman who was 20 years younger than myself. She has terrific temper. and our home life is nothing but series of fights and quarrels, devastating and miserable. She resents any little attentions 1 pay my little girls. and takes it out on them when 1 am at the office. Twice she has struck my youngest girl on the mouth with the back of her hand, and made it bleed profusely.
 With all this distraction and worry cant put my mind on business as I should. and 1 have steadily gone back in earning power, until l am deeply in debt. My wife constantly upbraids me for my lack of money ma king DOW CT. and tells me that 1 am an old man, a has-been.
 l have tried in every way to get her tO see that our interests are one. that together we could build up our home and that we should spend our energies fighting the outside world. not fighting each other, but she seems to be i'm previous to argument or appeal.
 Is there anything we can do to i'm prove conditions. or should we smash up the whole works and call it off?
 A DESPERATE MAN.
 The only thing that can save sit ua tion such as this is for the woman who is wrecking home to have a change of heart and become good an- gel instead of a domestic fiend.
 All would be well if she would be- come a kind and loving mother to the helpless little children in her care in ] stead of being brutal stepmother; if she would become a loving and tender wife who stood back to back with her husband in his struggle with the world and breathed fresh courage into him ; is she became one of the women who bring the spirit of peace instead of strife into the home. But am afraid that this miracle never happens in real life. It is only in story books that peO- pie change their natures.
 Personally, l have never known a woman who was viragO who ever learned to control her temper. 1 have never seen selfish one become con siderate of other people. 1 have never known woman who nagged to cease from nagging. nor one who was tired of her husband and who regretted her ma arriage who fell in love with him again.
 This is cold comfort to you. poor man. but we gain nothing by trying to deceive ourselves and believing that the impossible will happen. And l think you had better face the fact that your wife no longer cares for you and no longer regards you as a valuable matri- monial asset. you do not make enough money to gratify her. So she takes out her futile rage on you and the children. and there is nothing more un- likely than that she will reform her ways.
 Your first duty is to your children. Your obligation to them is infinitely greater than it is to the woman who does not even try to make you a good wife, and you should remove them, as soon as possible. out of the power of a cruel stepmother.
 lou have my profoundest sympathy. Surely man can be in no more har-

ORIGIN OF APPLE

Apples, as we. know them today. in ancient times grew wild in parts of Europe and Asia and their cultivation began in Europe centuries ago, but it remained for Americans to make the greatest progress in this direction. One of the first, of these benefactOrs was Loammi Baldwin. While prominent in bis capacity as an engineer he would long since have been forgotten except for his horticultural experiments, which resulted in the production of the famous apple which bears his name. The United States now produces the bulk of the worlds apple crop, and Canada adds to North American SUI premacy. The European belt extends from Norway to Southern France. The fruit is also cultivated in New Zealand. Tasmania and other countries.

FAMOUS WOMEN
ELIZABETH OF TRANCE

Elizabeth Phillipine Marie Helene of France, the sister of Louis XVI, was born in May, 1764, and died by the guillotine' just 30 years later, in May, 1794. She was devoted to her brother, the King, and his family, and pre- ferred to remain with him rather than marry. When her private 'establlsh7 ment was fixed, and she received the sam of 25,000 francs annually with which to purchase luxuries, she re- quested that for six years. the money be given to young favorite whose poverty prevented her marriage.
 When the French Revolution broke out she was confined with the royal family in the temple, where she de- voted herself to her fellow prisoners.
 In May, 1794, she was led from the temple and tried for carrying on a cor respondence with the King, and con demned to die along with '24 other un- fortunates. Elizabeth was compelled to witness the execution of all of them before meeting her death by the guillo- tine, without single word of complaint against her judges.

Anna .Paylowa, fascinating daugh- ter of terpsichcre, after two seasons, absence in Oriental and Far Eastern lands, is back in America to renew the bonds of adoration she has so skillfully and intricately woven during the last decade. Possessing all her known pedal istic vartnsity, and still too beautiful and humble of foot for Farther Time to catch up with her, the unriyaled Anna brings back new dances and novel creations for those devotees of the art who wish to keep apace withithe latest standards in the choresraphic world E

 Asked as to what country, in her opinion, produced the best dancers, the light-footed Pavlowa, without the slight est hesitatioH replied: < .I think the best dancers come from Russia, but perhaps that is due to- what you call it patriotism.

THAT WORD?
PRECARIOUS

Cautiously enough, the word 'precari- ous' traces it's origin to the word pray It is derived. in fact. rom the Latin word "precor,' to pray.
 Many persons regard the results of prayer as certainty, and perhaps with justice. But the direct deriva- tive of ito pray" is the meaning of uncertainty that is opposed to this conception of certainty.
 'Precarious' has the meaning of depending upon the will or pleasure of another. held by courtesy, liable to be changed. alienated or discontinued at the will of another"
 A ''precarious" living or ore carious' fortunes are therefore be- garded as highly unsatisfactory by

Plaid Materials For Trimming
 New Hats
By JANET WiNslow

Plaid. in the brightest and snappiest of color combinations imaginable, is the newest thing for hats.
 1t isn't at all extraordinary when you come to think of it. We have had plaid dresses and coats. so that while plaid hats are something of surprise they are at the same time logical happening.
 Now. your new plaid hat may be en- tirely criss-crOssed with cOlored blocks and bars, every inch of it. or it may have just a plaided brim on piping to show that it is a very new and alto gether different sort of hat; and 1t goes without saying that when it is of plaid or partly so it is small. You will think immediately of the sports hat in connection with brilliant plaids. To be sure, the sports hat and the useful tailored hat are the only sort featuring plaids that we see at the present time, but a letter from Palm Beach describes charming hat that limited of more unusual ways in which we may expect to find plaid used It was a cloche of biscuit-col- ored faille. and long scarf of plaid chiffon was drawn around the crown and through slit in the brim. It wrapped around the throat and an end of this fimy scarf was left to flutter in the breeze. This hat was worn with lovely afternoon dress of biscuit-cOl- ored vOile showing that plaid may as- sociate with the dressy gown, providing it's material is chiffon and it's colorings delicate. Mayhap summer vii bring to us some of these bewitching hats.
 However interesting as it may be to consider the future uses of bright plaids in millinery, it is more timely to look at the hat on today's page. It is one that you can wear right now. Silky brown felt makes this closely fitting model and taffeta plaided in brown, tan and red forms a little cuff brim that lies close to the crown all the way around. Several jaunty loops Of plaid taffeta sweep downward close to the face where their rich colorings make the skin seem paler by contrast. Trimmings that stray unconcernedly off the hat itself like these loops show no signs of lessening in favor. Most of the newest hats have them.
 Then there is another thing about this hat which shows the newest ten lency as to shape which hats are as- suming- Notice the way that the crown is built up with big folds into rather high line at the top. They do say that the high crown is looked to as the one thing that will vary the too common cloche To one who has investigated many of the rumors as to the newest in headgear. this particular hat would seem to embody a number of the most talked-of innovations-high crown, cuff brim and plaid trimming.
