picnic basket. With impassioned
conviction they give demonstrations,
lectures, and write many papers to
prove that the picnic basket may

beef, warm vegetables and puddings,

our old picnic friends, cold ham and

pickles, bananas, and cake. And they
can just continue to say them! For

Pride Aid
toFan1ily
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
I bow to the mother who had
learned that she can make or I'M
make her children by the way she
meets her daily problems.
Mrs. Smith has very small allow
ance on which to run her house.
She must dress herself and her
children very plainly, and provide
her table with little more than the
necessities of life.
Yet there is a certain pride and
sureness in. the Smith family, felt
rather than seen, that gives every
one with whom they come in con-
tact the feeling that the family must
amount to something. Mrs. Smith
has never complained, nor gone
about sliding into corners, nor tackled
up an Excuse me for living" sign
on her back. She has taken her
place in the world with assurance
and ease, and has not lived a con-
slant apology. 1t has reflected in
the behavior of her children. AL
of them are on the high road to
material success.
Mrs. Jones has 6. generous house
allowance. The Joneses are what Is
known as well-to-do. Mrs. Jones
however, is a person who would
never admit that too much is plenty
Her motto is TOO much is not
enough. If anyone has more than
1 have, I cannot be happyl"
And she isn't. Neither she, MOI
her daughters, nor her sons, nor heI
husband! She has always acted like
a whipped dog, because some of heI
friends had more money than she
Her family have gradually absorbed
the idea that they don't amount to
much. They are futile and wretched
They have lost confidence. They &c
about belligerent but uncertain
never quite sure of how people are
going to take them.
The sons and daughters will never
be leaders. They are doomed to take
back seats. All because their mother
kept protesting against her lot when
they were growing up. and making
them feel their .inferiority.
Arrogance is contemplate, but q
decent pride begets courage and
courage means success.
Men, too, are often successes, OF
failures. depending on the spirit
with which their wives face life.

Two examples of prominent
women are cited to show the re-
suits of dieting and reducing carried
to extremes. One, an opera star
in perfect health, felt she was gain
ing too rapidly and took up the re-
duction fad. In three months she
lost thirty pounds, collapsed and
spent the next three months in a
hospital.
The other case Is that of a movie
actress who has been i'll several
months because of dieting. Nervous
prostration eWas the result, and the
medical association is not alone in
it's denunciation of the practice of
reducing, the magazine says. So
grave has become the fad among
American girls that the United
States Department of Agriculture
has issued a public warning.
I'm view of the. widespread
literature and advice of so-called
diet experts it seems advisable to
warn people against adopting the
dietary recommendations Of those
without real scientific standing in
the community" says the depart
ment. Some of the advocates of
freak diets are sincere, but are
are themselves deluded, Others
are takers who seek monetary
gain by advising peculiar sys-
TENS of diet. Neither class can
offer trustworthy advice"

More About
Not Losing
a Husband
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
A noted woman who has several
maids to keep her beautiful has
announced that all wives could hold
their. husbands if they approached
the job sensibly.
This is no startling news. We
all realize that no wife need lose a
husbands affections, provided she
has plenty of sense, plenty of good
looks and plenty of cleverness. The
trouble is that so few of us are
blessed with these three essentials.
It's getting to be such hard work
this keeping Of ones husband!
Undoubtedly this is one reason why
so many women are taking up
careers instead Of marriage these
days. It's so much easier. You
can't seem to do anything else and
keep your husband at the same
time. Once married, when you feel
that you ought to be able to settle
down comfortably for life, your
hard work has just begun,
Getting husband is a snap COM
pared to keeping one.
This condition of affairs is largely
due to foolish propaganda put out
by such women as the above. These
women have nothing else to do but
concentrate upon sex appeal. They
insist that no man ever loses his
love for his wife unless she is lack
ing lin some necessary quality of
mind or person. This may be true,
but can't we expect something from
the men we marry? Should they,
too, not strive to keep the sacred
vow? Should their love be re-
garded as such an unstable thing
that it is not to be depended on
over the period of permanent
wave?
Grandmother had it pretty easy
compared with today's average wife.
She may have had to bear and rear
dozen children, but she did not
have to live in perpetual fear that
grandfather was going to ditch her
for some gay young thing, When
she got too fat, she did not cry,
because she thought her equally fat
husband would not love her more.
Today's husband is getting too
much of this insidious and poisonous
propaganda. He is being excused
too often on the theory that his
wife has lost her looks and her
figure and her pep. Every time
father bolts over the traces we are
ready to exonerate him, because
mother has not made the proper
effort to keep him fast hitched.
Today's wife can't raise the
children she should. and she can't
concentrate on any honest work,
because she must be constantly COM
peting with all the pretty ladies,
who are after Dad. 1t looks like
his affections just won't stay put.

Profile Brins
BY HEDDA HOYT
UNITED Press Fashion Editor)

Omitted Press Fashion Editor)
If thou would'st be in the swim,
buy myself profile brim!
Hats, with profile brinas, first in
troduced by Reboux are assured OF
popularity in America. The profile
hat is made so that one side of the
profile is exposed. This is done In
various ways. The narrow felt brim
may be divided at one side with
points extending upwards on the
crown while the opposite brim turns
downward The brim may be lack
ing on one side, while the opposite
side is fairly wide. Skull caps may
have eartabs on one side while the
other side is tableSs.
Many times the profile hat has an
earring attachment such as huge
pearl ball suspended on silver chain
placed on the profile side. Some
times, where the hat is large, the
brimless side uses bow of satin rib
bon or cluster of feather flowers at
the hairline. Since the profile hat
is of French inspiration, the crown
is generally snug and head-fitting
The smart Partisan seems to prefer
the close-fitting crown to the drape
types favored in America
Velvet is to be one of the leading
fabrics used for fall millinery. Cut
out effects in velvet with insets OF
contrasting colored silk, felt, metal
lie cloth or painted leather will be
popular. Cut-outs in leaf Of flora
designs are favored at present tc
geometrical cut-outs. Millinery vel
vet this coming season is also ma
nipulated SO as to appear like snake
skin, stenciled patterns or crushed
designs. The majority of hats, how
ever, will be Of plain velvet.
Draped turbans Of satin or satin
ribbon with satin loop eartabs are
shown as advanced models by some
shops. In one instance, drapec
model used black, white and gray
satin folds While the tightly
draped turban is more sophisticated
than the popular skull cap, it con.
forms with the style and many
matrons will prefer it, since the
skull cap is entirely too severe fol
most faces.
Small felt shapes with flexible
dropping brims are still the favorite'
for sportswear and will probabl!
continue to lead for some time tt
come.

Independent
or Merely
SnObbiSh?
BY MARTHA LEE

Some folks think they should
cultivate independence as a sort OF
super-sensitive balance wheel,
whereby they are warned II their
toes are stepped on.
Many times their conception of
independence is overdrawn. Girls,
for instance, often get the idea that
after being quite congenial, they
must have flash Of independence.
"You must show a fellow that you're
a little spunky, or he won't like
you," they say.
This, with no better reason back
of independence, is foolishnesS for
it is, that what sometimes goes by
the name, is simply resentment,
false pride and snobbishness.
