Interest in the Wymond j. Beckett
home, 80 East Fifty-second street,
centers in the portrait of Mr..
Beckett's father, Joe Beckett, done
in England more than seventy-five
years ago, some time before he
came to America.
The portrait occupies a central
position above the fireplace and is
hanked by two antique prism lamps
with thumb print glass bases that
came from the old Phinney home
near Oil City, Pa.
The fireplace is unusual, in that
there is wood cupboard at one
side Of the hearth, giving it an at
tractively unbalanced appearance.
Two tiny antique stools, more
French than American, squat at
each side.
The home has an early American
atmosphere, due to the light and
dark contrast in woodwork and the
wallpaper of early American pat
tern. However, all the furniture is
not Of the so-called early American
period, although all of it is antique.
One very attractive corner is
conferred around the built-in arched
bookcase, where bindings make de-
llghtful color contrast with the
white frame. The top shelf contains
Mrs. Beckett's collection of STRAIT
fordshire China dogs.
Mrs. Beckett is a "died-in- the
wool" collector, at present complet-

Sense

NEARY Ware bennett has sane
1V1 views about sex education. In
her new book she addressed par
entS in these words:
'It is the parents own feeling
about sex and not what they say
that will be imprinted upon the
child's mind. You can't fool a
child about an attitude. Preach
ments are but words. The greatest
damaging influence on the child is
when his parents themselves are
not genuinely mated"
What could be truer? Nobody
is impressed when the wicked man
talks about the glory of goodness,
least of all the children. Most of
our plans for instructing Adde'S
cents in sex matters is destined to
fail. To be sure, parents can lay
off their garments of prudery and
don those of common sense. But
we cannot teach our children the
art of creating lovely intimate
relationships, for the simple rea-
son that the whole thing is an
attitude of mind.
It is something so delicate, so
Intangible, that it cannot ever be
explained in words. True marriage
is a combination of a beautiful
bodily and spiritual relationship.
Unless both souls bodies are at
tuned, there is no real mating.
=
A ND as Mrs. bennett explains
IA az our talk about teaching
marriage facts will not get us far.
since the only way in which we
truly can instruct is an example
of living. And that, alas, often
disprovees our learned words.
The husband and wife who are
one in body and spirit have small
reason to fear that their children
ever will have a wrong conception
of sex. They have interpreted
it to them and exemplif1ed how
lovely married love can be.
The mere biological explana-
tons may take our youngsters
away from the guttersnipe school,
and satisfy their native curiosity.
But it can not give them an ade-
quate idea of What happy mat
ing really is.
There are certain fundamentals
facts that each individual must
find out for himself. And the
art Of happy marriage is one of
them. In this, as in so many
ether things, the only way we
can teach is to set an example.

What's in Fashion?
A Cotton Dress Wardrobe
Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK. July 27.-When
IN next time you get that feeling
Gas often happens in warm weather.
that you just can't bear your
clothes
Step out to your favorite store and
step into a fresh new cotton. A
cotton street dress, an active sports
dress Or one for specializing, or an
afternoon dress or one for evening.
Cottons are fashionable for all
these events and hours. OF course
silks are, too. But you can wear silk
all year round. Cotton is a change
something most women can't wear
365 days on end.
Right now, though, you can wear
cotton twenty-four hours out of
every twenty-four if you want to-
and seven days a week. Because
both weather and fashion are on
your side.
You can smartly wear pique,
cotton mesh, shantung and linen
mot cotton, of course, but Tie
same in effect for sports, both
active and spectator. You can wear
pique, shantung, linen and printed
sheer linen or cotton for street wear.
Organizes for Afternoons
And for formal afternoon and for
evening, nothing's smarter, more
fashionable and more refreshing
than the organizes, plain or en-
broidered, and the eyelet batistes.
And as you SO well know, any OF
the fine, sheer cottonS like batiSte
and dimity make satisfactory
dresses to wear on your own porch
or in your yard when no particular
event is in order.
Three Good Costumes
A good proportion of cotton
dresses scattered through any
August vacation wardrobe would be,
we think, about three. One sports
costume, one street costume and one
costume that could be used for
formal afternoon and informal or
formal evening affairs.
One good way to do it would in
clude the two costumes illustrated,
or two much like them.
The suit with its loose-sleeve
jacket would be of pique and equally
good for street or spectator sports
wear. It could be white with dark
accessories used with it, or dark
with bright accessories.
The dress is one of those COM
bination affairs that can be made
to do for more than one time of
day. It's of embroidered organdie
in the picture but would look quite
as charming in plain organdie or
eyelet batiste.
Formal or Informal
Without the jacket it's a formal,
sleeveless dancing dress. With the
short, bolero jacket it's an informal
evening dress or very formal aft
ernoon one.

ing her collection of pear glass,
which lacks only four saucerS and
two plates.
AS a part of the same corner
there is Sheraton desk topped
with an old candlestick lamp, and
q Chippendale chair. Nearby is an
old Moorish vase that Mrs. Beckett
brought from Algiers in dull blues
and Colds, on On English tray-top
table.
In front of an antique gilt mirror
is a lamp Of double overlay glass in
white over a clear green, placed on
an early American table. In the
hall is lamp of triple overlay glass
of red, white, and crystal.
Curtains are simple, in keeping
with the room, and caught back by
old mercury glass knobs.
AS compliments to the portrait
of Mr.. Beckett, two old family por-.
traits in old-fashioned round frames
are placed one on each side of the
mantle. Opposite are grouped
several etchings, one of the Old
Curiosity Shop; one of Ponte
Veccio; one of rural scene, all
picked up abroad; and one of the
fountain just north of our own
Federal building.
To complete the picture, and
without which no old-fashioned
home is complete, there is the old
grandfather's clock, standing much
higher than ones head, and telling,
besides the hours, the phases of
the moon.

Touch Adds
to Beauty
BY JEAN PATOU
written for NEA Service)

PARIS, July 27.-Despite the
popularity of beach costumes, with
their ubiquitous pajama trousers,
the well-dresSed woman never has
entirely given up that type of I'M
sophisticated looking and perfectly
delightful dress usually described as
robe de PLACE" or beach frock.
These little dresses can not, Of
course, come under the heading Of
the essentially practical or ideal
garment. They undoubtedly are
more or less of a luxury, and that
is probably why women enjoy them
perhaps better than any other type
Of dress; and also because they are
most attractive and becoming.
Although invariably simple Of line
and, for that matter, very much
akin to tennis frocks in their gen.
eral theme, these robes de PLACE
! nevertheless show a greater refine
ment in details and work, not to
mention coloring and fabric.
Have Touch of Fantasy
What is more, they are never de-
void of distinctive touch of fan
tasy, usually supplied by the access
series, but sometimes found in the
dress itself.
A simple element such as a sleeve
can in itself inpart a great deal Of
character to even the most simple
Of frocks. They can be short or
long, but personally I prefer short
sleeves, as they seem more appro-
pirate to this type of dress and Of
fer great possibilities in the way Of
cut and finish.
Where there are no sleeves at all,
this is merely a pretext for adding
some sort of jacket to the dress.
The material best suited to these
robes de PLACE need not be of the
most practical kind, either. Silk
serge, narocain, crepe de chine and
similar fabrics seem to meet their
requirements and any Of these offer
the advantage of being treated with
as much or as little detail work as
required.
Plain ColOrs Best
Plain colons are almost obligatory,
and white always has been featured
largely, pastel shades are equally
good. Prints always have seemed
to me to be better suited to still
another category of dress which
calls for a country background
rather than seascape.
Color combinations are not suit
able to the inherent simplicity Of
these special summer frocks. I have
always thought it preferable to sup
ply the color contrast with access
series.
Here the hat and belt assume an
important role, and the scarf, in
this case, is a precious colorful aux
Hilary, besides a useful adjunct. It
never will strike a false note, and
a great deal depends on the way
a woman wears it. There can be
Unreasonable chic in a scarf.
The question of suitable hat to
complete these beach frocks is some
what difficult and no hard and fast
rule can be applied. According to
the characteristics Of the dress, the
hat can be wide-brimmed or on the
small side.
On the other hand, it must pre-
serve the wearer from the glaring
sun, yet be sufficiently dressy to &C
company the dress, which, despite
its simplicity, should be able to fig
ure at a smart tea party at any
fashionable resort.
