LETTER
The Washington times., 1931-09-30
Shopping

Fashion isn't playing favor
ties this autumn. For the first
time in years the older genera
ton is having it's innings, too!
College girls and debutantes
aren't the whole show any
more. Today women find that
new dresses with their long,
stately lines give them a de-
cided dignity and presence. The
effect is even psychological-it
seems to us women are develop
ing more poiSe in these styles.
A Coat Dress Fills the Bill
Women all seem to find that
one thing they can't get along
without is coat dress. If it's
made of wool, it can be worn
without a coat well into the
fall until it blows up really
cold. Following chic and tai
lored lines, like the model on
the left, it makes the most
striking costume a woman
could want to wear-for shop
ping, for luncheon, or for
travel. And it's sure to fit
most easily under a new win
ter coat with a raglan or a
dolman type of sleeve, you know.
The handsome slanted closing
of the dress is edged in two
gently contrasting colors-such
as eggShell and gold against
brown. The scarf, worn with
one end thrown over the shoulder
or any way you please, takes up
the same colors of the edging in
a brighter way. The roll ball
buttons that you see gayly
dangling about, play a tune Of
harmony, for they're golden
metal!
Rounded scanning does a lot
to make the bodice even more
attractive, and just look what it
does to the hips! It actually
makes them diminish in size!
And there's scarcely a woman
among us who wouldn't welcome
that happy thought. Welcome
it so heartily that paying
$40 for it would seem like
nothing at all-particularly after
seeing what an altogether stun
ming dress it is!
Contrast in q New Manner
In spite of all this talk of
wool for fall, any woman knows
that her wardrobe would never
be complete without silk dress
or two.
The canton crepe at the right
combines two colors in a most
original way. With the dress
in green, brown is used for the
left side rever and part of the
belt and for the insertions in
the sleeves that are fagotted in

A Short HONEYMOON

A Short Honeymoon
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been married six
months. I have two children
by my first husband. MY pres

for about two months, now he
runs out every night by him.
self. When I scold him for
running out he tells me if I
don't like it can take my
things and get out, or get rid
Of my children if 1 want it
better. Their ages are 10 and
IL. He can find no fault with
my housekeeping, and I shall
never get rid of my children.
SORROWFUL.
Yours is truly a most diff.
cult problem. You are quite
right in saying that you will
not get rid Of your children to
please your husband. You had
them when he married you. If
they were older and able to
shift for themselves the case
might be different. think if
you allow me to say so, you
are not likely to mend matters
by Scolding your husband-nag-
ging is always fatal. Try taking
a new tack with him, and
don't forget that things some
times look hopeless just before
they take a turn for the better.

The school authorities will in
sist on certain regulations con-
corning the amount of space
and air each pupil in school
should have. 1t would be a
shame if they did not have the
same amount after they got
home.
The ideal amount of air
space for each pupil is 200
cubic feet. School rooms, there
fore have a ceiling at least 10
feet high. This, of course, is
far beyond modern homes,
which are nearer nine or 10
feet, and the floor space at
home must be proportionately
apportioned.
Moderate Temperature
Good mental work cannot be
accomplished in a vitiated at
mosphere. The air Of a room
should be kept at a moderate
and slightly fluctuating tenn
perature. It should be in mo-
ton, but not excessively so. It
should be free from odcrs.
The temperature of a room
for studying should be from SO
to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. This,
of course. depends partly on
the humidity. With a low hui
Nudity higher temperatures can
be borne, but for a child with
an active metabolism ternpera-
lures above 70 are seldom ad-
visable.
In mild fall weather the
windows should be kept con-
stantly open. Even in cold
weather a window should be
periodically opened and a cur
rent Of fresh air allowed to go

When storing saucepans, care

I reached up and grasped the
wrist of her hand that was
clutching my bare shoulder so
painfully, and gave it a sharp
twist.
Fanny Dutton uttered a little
gasp of pain.
I stood up and smiled at her
as I didn't want a scene. Then
! moved a chair over and told
her to sit down. I didn't re-
lease her wrist until she did
sit down.

fiercely.
"I love to play around" I as

Fanny Dutton leaned over to
me and her anger seemed to
have departed for the moment.
There was something rather
piteous in her expression.

tered. and before I could stop
her she arose and hurried away.
I looked around and caught
sight of Forrest on the oppo-
site side. He had seen Fanny
and stood stock still, staring
in surprise. Then he hurried
over to me.
Did she talk with you?" he
asked. He seemed somewhat
agitated.
"Oh, yes" I answered.
He looked around the room
as if trying, to see where she
went and then sat down close
to me.
Did she annoy you, KatieP"
"She wasn't very entertain
ing at first"
Don't mind her, please.
Fanny takes a little too much,
and when she does she is dis
agreeable.

pleaded.

disturbed. He was usually so

"Surely-what do you care
if you get that much money
will you do it?"
I thought for a moment.
why, yes; I will do anything
for fifty thousand" I told her.
Il knew you were a good
SPORT" Thad's faithless wife
exclaimed when I told her that
I would do anything for so
thousand.
But how do I know that
will get it?" I asked.
my dear, surely you can
trust me-and my lawyer"
she exclaimed.
Surely I cannot trust you-
nor any lawyer who would
agree to a scheme for framing
anyone"
Her face crimsoned and then
she laughed.
You are a wise child
really don't blame you. But
how shall we know you will
keep your word?"
How about half in advance
and the rest after I give my
testimony"
She agreed to that.
Il shall have you see my
lawyer"
I was doing some more rapid
thinking. I didn't want to
face her lawyer.
wouldn't it be far better if
you gave the instructions?
Then I could swear that I had
never seen or talked with your
lawyer. Think how impressive
that would be. I suggested.
Making Sure of Things
"A swell idea. I will see my
lawyer and come back tomor-
row evening with a check for
half of the amount"
"That's all right-if the check
is certified"
"You ought to be rich by now.
Tell me, how could a working
girl like you get ten thousand
unless you wheedled it out of
some sugar daddy?"
Il never had a sugar daddy
that isn't my kind of playing
around. saved my money and
invested it, or speculated, on
some tips" I lied glibly.
When I told her the fib about
having ten thousand I did it
solely to make her understand
that I couldn't be bribed and
didn't need money. I had no
idea that she would come back
with the dazzling offer Of five
times that amount.
Thad Parsons wife left me,
then, promising to come the
next night with a check for
twenty-five thousand and a
written agreement to pay me
another twenty-five thousand
when I had testified according
to instructions.
Airline Parsons kept her word.
The Check Produced
She called the next night.
There was no question but
what she meant business, for
she had the check.
MY lawyer wouldn't draw
up any agreement about the
other check, but that's all right
between us, we understand
each other" she said briskly.
"Your lawyer is right. He
couldn't afford to do anything
like that or he would be dis
barred. But that doesn't pre-
vent you from doing it, just an
agreement between u.s." I Sug-
gested.
"It wouldn't be legal, with
no witnesses" she protested.
$50 much the better-because
this is a private agreement be-
tween U.S."
She agreed to that, when
insisted, and wrote out an
agreement on a folded sheet of
letter paper which ! tore in
half for her.
Now" I said, what is the
dope?"
She consulted a little note
book and named a date.
That's just a week after we
came north. I'll get a private
detective who will swear that
on this date he and I forced
our way in this apartment and
found you with Thad. After
my detective testifies you will
be called to the stand. All you
have to do is to look fright
ened and admit that what the
detective said is true-will you
do that?"
1T is certainly awfully easy"
I said.
