Bad AdUiCg
by Married
PeSSiA1iStS
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

Marriage is very likely to preju-
dice us. Here is a woman who
writes to say that non-support
should be made a capital offense.
She believes that electrocution is
too good for the fellow who Swears
to cherish his wife and then, by
his lazinesS, compels her to earn
her living. Furthermore, she warns
all girls against tying themselves
up to men.
After you have read her com
plant you can see why she might
feel bitterly, but you can hardly
Sympathize with her idea that all
men are necessarily like her hus-
band.
She was simply unfortunate and
married no-account. But it seems
scarcely fair to condemn all mar
riages merely because one or two,
or even thousand, women have
found in it naught but illusion.
Hampers Clear Thinking
In this game of wedlock it is the
hardest thing in the world to think
straight. Your viewpoint is SO
likely to be altered by the sort of
man your husband turns out to be.
And while we all know that it
takes great courage to remain
sweet and tolerant in the face of
the ruins of life, still it pays to
cultivate that attitude of mind.
1t has always seemed to me the
wickedest thing in the world for a
woman to go about poisoning young
minds against the loveliness and
sacredneSS of marriage. Yet you
hear them everywhere Croaking
about the unfaithfulness of men, of
lying propensities of husbands, of
the difficulty of making a living for
two, Of the awful struggle that
comes during the adjustment period
of married life.
Husbands Side
After you listen to one Of these
married grouches for half an hour,
you not only wonder how any girl
who has heard her can ever muster
up courage to march to the altar,
but you also surmise that her hus-
bands life is not exactly a bed of
roses.
In the great lottery of matrimony
many people draw blanks, but let
us keep in mind that that applies
to both sexes. The men get fooled
just as often as we do.
And when you feel yourself get
ting to the place where you think
all the men are impossible, start m
vestigating the dispositions of the
women around you and maybe you'll
be surprised.

BY ALLENE SUMMER

Despite the law, Hindu widow
threw herself upon the flaming fun
eral pyre of her husband not long
ago in a frantic attempt to perform
the rite of sutee, now illegal in India.
She was badly burned before taken
from the pyre. Soldiers had to be
called to quell the rioters who strug-
gled TOR charred piece of her
clothing, as such garments are re-
garded as sacred to the true Hindu.
Hindu widows believe that they are
guilty because their husbands die
and this self-imnolation as a final
move of reparation.
We laugh at the Hindu super
stitutions, but, after all, the taken
for-granted thingf in most any
American household is that the wife
is to blame for whatever goes wrong
within the home. If she doesn't
actually kill herself for fancied
wrongs, she loses health and joy in
worry over delinquencies SO inter
preted by herself and others.

BY JEAN PATOU
For NEA Service

PARIS, Dec. 26.-How long ago it
seems when a fur coat was worn
solely as a protection against the
cold and was more or less ungainly!
The possession of fur coat in those
days did not represent a small for
tune as it does today. but then again
it was never considered a thing of
beauty. A woman had to be ex-
ceedingly pretty and, above all, slim,
to be able to avoid looking dumpy
in one
Little by little, however, the
many resources of furs came to be
appreciated. I realized that if we
could reach that point where a skin
could be rendered as supple as a
piece of cloth, there would be un-
told possibilities at my disposal for
the creation of new models.
Play Important Part
Furs have indeed become so i'm
portant that 1 now attach as much
value to the part they wilrbe called
upon to play in creating coat or
dress as the material itself. AS a
matter of fact, am always tempted
to use furs as would piece of
cloth or silk and I always strive to
convey the impression, when COM
olnlEg fur on a garment, that it is
an integral part Of it and not Just
applied as a trimming. Naturally
furs so used must be exit tlaordinarily
supple in order to follow the move
ment Of coat or gown. They should,
moreover, contribute to the line by
their coloring as well as by their
cut.
Furs always enhance a model and
even If sumptuous maetrials like
lamb or velvet are used for an eve
ming cloak, these would lose the
greater part of their appearance of
richness if they were not trimmed
with fur.
PreciOusness!
When I see a woman drapping a
lavishly fur trimmed coat around
her she always gives me the i'm
preston of preciouSness, which be-
comes her very we'll in most cases
as well, if not more so, than if she
wore fur coat.
The use of imitation furs by
creators of fashion I always de-
plored and am pleased to say that
for the last two seasons these have
been replaced by real furs. I use
much fox because l find it eminent
ly becoming as a frame to "a wom-
ans face and very softening. Mink
and ermine are also great favorites
Of mine.
Usually Dyes Fox
In the case of fox furs, I usu-
ally have the skins dyed the exact
shade of the material, "lustre" as
we call it, and find this very sue
cessful, even in such delicate col
ors as beige and grey-blue and even
beige rose. These pastel-tinted furs
will also be used more and more
as complement to Riviera and
Palm Beach ensembles, which
otherwise might give an impression
of hardness. 10
am a great partisan Of fur-lined
coats and I think an ideal ensemble
for very cold days is such a coat
worn over a little marocain frock.
The advantage here is that smart
woman can do a mornings shop
ping in her automobile in perfect
comfort and still be suitably dressed
for luncheon party.
For a. morning or afternoon tail
ored suit the fox tie is the only
correct wear and you will frequently
meet women in the BoiS wearing a
blue fox.

For Babies OnLn

Infant mortality is expected to be
increased to an even lower rate than

born child is kept in q special room

The daughter o. blast furnace
worker in the steel mills of Gary,
Ind, made her debut with Mary
Garden in Chicago Grand Opera a
few nights ago. Her humble mother
and father beamed and wept and
smiled in a front box. 1t is probable
that Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel w. Wit
wer enjoyed this triumph as much
as if it were their own. The joys of
parenthood which can live in utter
need if it can rejoice in the abund-
ance of its offspring's life is diff
cult thing for the childless to under
stand. But it must be true. Mother
Nature is good.

White House Scraps

More posthumous scandal Now
it's Col. Charles r. Forbes, formerly
Of the United States Veterans Bu-.
reau, and just released from the
penitentiary, who tells a few more
tales on the late President Harding.
Forbes tells, with dates, about "fear-
ful rows" the Hardings, Mr.. and
Mrs, had in the White House. He
makes special reference to a Christ
mas Day of 1921 when the Presi-
dent was especially sad and con-
fessed to 'a hell of a row with Mrs.
last night" Why anyone should ex-
pect that merely happening to re-
side in the White House guarantees
no quarrels between husband and
wife is beyond me! What of it and
who cares and why not?
