He's Jealous of Her

Dear Martha Lee: I am man almost
80 and deeply. in love with a girl who, is
pendent. She is also a wonderful house,
have asked her to be my wife.
She has refused me, saying that am
too jealous and that she thinks would
therefore make her life miserable. We
have had several 1uarrcls over a man she
used to go With. I find myself flying into
rage and accusing her Of flirting when
any man even locks at her. What can
Id, do ABOUT thisg Life would not be. worth
Besides being good housekeeper,
she shows she has good judgment in
hesitating to tie herself up with a
jealous man. The only thing there
fore for you to do, is to overcome the
jealousy. No so easy, but there is
a way.
Now if you can get yourself into
frame of mind in which you want
her to be happy whether you are
or not, you've hit upon the recipe
for overcoming jealousy. 1t would
include your thinking when any 9TH
er man pays attention to her, that
if she would be happier with him,
you would want her to be with that
one. Living in the desire for
her happiness rather than your
own, jealousy will have nothing to
feed upon. Really, the highest kind
of love includes this very element of
potential sacrifice, but not many can
rise to it.

daughters, Misses Anne and Eleanor

Hardly a sports frock even appears
without a yoke effect or some geo.
metric design traced out by tucss
or stitching.
Mrs. Jay Gould, with her daugh-
tiers, Anne and Eleanor, typified
both the flair for color and the con-
centrasion on detailed trimming in
her daytime frock. 1t was of de-
lectable chartreuSe yellow-green,
only more intense a color and it had
three different kinds of tucks to
trim it.
A smart front panel was achieved
by horizontal and vertical pin-tucks
forming squares. The skirt was &C
cordian pleated from the sides back,
while tiny tucks above the belt gave
richness to the frock.
Sisters Dress Alike
Her two daughters, as usual, were
dressed just alike-in the French
manner of matching sisters frocks.
Their bois de rose kasha coats had
the smartest of smart yokes that
pointed sharply in the back, ex-
tended half way across the front and
then dipped to form a front panel.
Pockets matched the v effect of
the back yoke.
Their dresses were rose linen.
with the hem, square yoke and
sleeves decorated by hand-stitching
in double rows. Two rows of the
stitching gave bolero effect above a
matching rose kid belt. They wore
plain black felt hats, mushroom
style, and white sandal swith bois
de rose hosiery.
Shoes, incidentally, grow more
interesting as the season advances.
T-strapped pumps in colored kid are
quite popular, while the Deauville
sandal, with its snug ankle bands,
seems to CONT in just about every
color silks and jerseys can attain.

ing print saw. 1t was tailored
version of a quaint c iffon print in
wisteria, yellow and black shades
It's fitted yoke dippe 1 to v both
front and back and its blouse end
ed in a snugly swathed hip-band
that also fitted to perfection. A cir
cular flare directly in front and
directly in back gave new note
to the style. Triple bows Of self
material softened the tailored lines
With it she wore a medium sized
wisteria Milan hat, with a smash
ing bow of ribbon across its brim.
Her shoes deserved a word OF
mention. These we're of glazed print,
in shades like the dress. with in
serts on the vamp and the tongue
like strap of wisteria kid. Over her
arm she carried one of the soft
tweed sports coats that are invalu-
able for their warmth and the way
they persistently refuse to wrinkle
Red Polka Dots
Among the Newporters favoring
red, Mrs. Richard Lounsberry really
should be mentioned for a stunning
little one-piece frock she wears OF
scarlet crepe de chine with tiny
white polka dots. 1t is one of those
frocks that defy detailed description.
You just note its gorgeous color and
texture and realize how stunning
its wearer looks in it.
Yellow was worn becomingly by
Mrs. E. Haywood Ferry the other
day at the Casino. 1t was a one
piece model, with its whole left side
blocked of, into squares by fine cut
out work. She matched the shade
exactly in her horsehair hat, with
its yellow velvet banding.
Heydey for Tucks
Unusual detaile dwork iivens up
new styles as much as color. Tucks
and stitchings are in their heyday.

DiUine Fire
KeptAbzaze
byMotherS

BY. MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
Perhaps the most persistent adj
monition given to mothers is that
which warns against pampering
children. Practically all of the au-
thorities contend that it is not only
mistake, but near tragedy for
parents to sacrifice themselves for
their offspring, and that woman
is not only a fool, but a criminal
when she gives up something she
desires in order that her fiapper
daughter may indulge in some
longed-for luxury.
We have heard this so often that
it merely goes in one ear and out
the other. I always wonder if these
people who get so excited have
never had children themselves, or
whether they merely disregard their
own advice.
For it is second nature for a
mother to give up to her boys and
girls. In seeing them enjoy things,
she enjoys them. She lives again in
their good times and regains her
youth when she sees them happy.
In INDUCING them, she merely in
dulges herself, which is, after all.
the secret Of all parental folly.
Way We're Made
God made us thus. We are neither
SO perfect nor so good that we
would continue to pamper our chill
dren if we did not like doing so.
These self-sacriflceS so mag.ified in
print are no hardships at all
And suppose II you can that all
mothers were as wise as .ney should
be, and that they always consulted
their reason instead of their hearts
IN the management of their families,
what sort of world would we have?
Not half so fine as we have now,
you may be sure.
Foolish, But Beautiful
For the most beautiful thing in
life is the age-old fact that mothers
are foolish and indulgent. And
how could We endure life without
these mother hearts in which there
abideS for us such love as nothing
can alter?
+ Is the world not already surfeited
with selfishness2 Are we not
surrounded by grasping. hard small
Souled people to whom self is deity?
Are we not so practical that our
souls are fainting?
Why then do we preach to
mothers, the only beings left who
keep alive in mad age the lovely
and sublime virtue of self-sacrifice,
in whom is embodied the divine
spark Of unself1shness that lights
our way to heaven?
