SCHOOL TROUBLES

talk about Johnnie right in front Of
the whole school, or she may resent
your interruption during class hours
and show it in her treatment of the
boy.
I prefer that the mother visit the
teacher after school hours. not with the
idea Of listening to long tale of woe
about how bad the boy is and how per-
fectly unsatisfactory his work is, but
rather from the angle of what the
whole class is supposed to be doing in
arithmetic, reading, spelling, etc. Get
a line on what Is going on in Johnnie's
school work, the ground the children
have covered, and the books that are
being used. Do not allow the conver-
sation to degenerate into faultfinding
on the part of the teacher or yourself.
When you go home, tell Johnnie that
you went to school and found out what
other children were doing, and that you
had decided to 60 to school with him
for while right at home, and that you
want him to tell you every day, for q
period of not longer than Is minutes,
what he learned in school that day, and
wherein he succeeded and wherein he
failed.
You will be surprised at the results.

"HIS letter has been received from
man: My dear Mrs. Post:
Why in your articles do you in
variably address women? On
the rare occasions when you
have written on subjects of concern to
men, you have. in my opinion, done
your best writing. Can't you forget
your feminine audience for once and
give some direct advice about the sort
of man who is likely TO have the best
chance to keep his wife from wanting to
make trip to Reno?
In this day. when young women in
many ways are inclined to pattern
themselves upon the ideals of the ANA
IONS, it would seem that nothing short
of a masculine race combining the
physical strength of heavyweight
prize fighter, business Sagacity, and the
perspicacity of our President can hope
to compete on a basis of equality with
modern woman. Moreover, what can
we DO to overcome the Encouragement
of having to pretend unfiagging success
to wife who will not tolerate loss of
her own prestige. through what she
considers inexcusable failure?
What elixir can there be which will
beStoW upon any modern marriage a
$3.50 chance of permanent happiness?
These remarks are not meant to be
funny. In all seriousness I ask: How
can We insure our homes against the
nemesis of Reno? If I have imperti
nently criticized your present inclina-
tion to focus your very aStute mind on
women, 1t is only because I would pre-
fer to have you focus on me-
< x i =
IN answer, I can only say it is prob
ably true that I have acquired a
somewhat fixed impression of a perma-
nently feminine audience excepting
when. as at the moment, I am answer
ing letter from a man. Moreover, if I
am to be entirely frank, I must add
that being myself of the very feminine
vintage of the early COS, I cannot very
well pretend to the point of view of
the Amazonian modern. But If. as I
believe, she is fundamentally like me
and only specifically Amazonian, then
the fundamental feminine side of her
longs for the small attentions that every
woman has always longed for from
Eve to second Rooseveitian.
1t is the little drops OF water and
little grains of sand that build the
mighty ocean of love and the pleasant
land of romance-for a woman. A
mans idea is of either steam dredge
or nothing Women long for romance
expressed in appreciatiVe sympathy in
every trif1ing gesture, thought and ap-
proach. The woman who feels herself
fully appreciated and understood rarely
goes to Reno. The American man too
often takes everything for granted.
She loves him or she would not have
married him! And that's that! He is

n 70 doubt your child has already
come home with the statement:
" mo home work. Nom. SO may

The mother wonders whether
the boy really had home work or not.
For the mother to imply that he is
lying, If he is telling the truth, is really
unfortunate The happiest relationship
between parents and children must
have implicit and mutual trust and
confidence as a basis.
If the boy was telling an untruth
and the parent, because of previous
experience, suspected it, it would be
well to pass the matter for the moment;
then, later on, to telephone the teacher
and learn definitely whether or not she
had assigned home work for the boy
If not, then the boy had been truth
full and the parents suspicious are re-
lieved. If the boy was untruthful, then
with definite proof in hand, the parent
should take the son aside for heart
to-heart talk.
Along with school days comes the old
tale of poor report cards. The mother
talks to the child, but it does no good.
What is the next step? Is it to march
over to the school with the child, the
next morning, to find out directly from
the teacher?
Now, mother, If you march into the
school room when Johnnie is there, he
is going to feel greatly embarrassed.
His playmates will poke fun at him, his
teacher may be untactful enough to

bits of carving of little roses. In many
households are to be found small sofas,
now so generally called love seats, which
have across the tops of backs a design
of these little hand-carved roses. Note
the curved arms and legs. They are
generally the accompanimentS. In
chairs look for the curved back and
front legs, the former extending up
beyond the seat There was reserve
in the carving of roses and ribbons,
stars and Tyres. Often metal was used
dA wood, as instanced in brass and
bronze ends to chair legs, and some
times at tops of them also. Backs Of
chairs sometimes have metal ornaments
of openwork or pressed or hammered
designs.
There is flowing element suggesting
life and growth in Directoire decora-
tions, as noted in the curving lines in
wood as seen in branches and bows
bereft of foliage and twigs, in floral
carving, in ornaments in which plants,
flowers and foliage are depicted or de-
veloped in designs. There Is also an
inward trend in lines, which is typical
of growing things.
With even these few characteristics Of
Directoire styles in mind, the home
decorator can discover what of her pos
sessions belong to this period. Now is
the time to feature them.

Chanel uses the tulle chou, and August

trailing ends, forming an uneven train
The new collection at the house Of
Callot shows very definitely the COM
bined tendencies of the two firms now
amalgamated, for the creations of
Louiseboulanger are now appearing un-
der the name of Callot. An outstand-
ing note is the series of Moyen age
dresses in wool, with loose, flowing
sleeves, and cut to involve the straight,
semi-bias and wholly bias Of the ma
terial. In line these dresses are slightly
made of rich fabrics such as prune-
colored ottoman cloth, embroidered and
belted with silver and so severely SIM
pie in cut that they could be packed
fiat without wrinkling.

EVENING dresses here range from
Il those of black fat crepe, slashed in
four skirt panels, mounted over fine
black lace, to a gown Of green panne
velvet, cut on the bias in long, slender
lines, with pheasant feathers curled
around the arms as sleeves. Other eve
ming sleeves are Of cog and paradise.
Vionnet's collection shows many de-
viations from the generally accepted
trend. Shoulders are invariably rounded,
showing no trace of an epaulette.
Basque effects, favored by SO many de-
signers, are non-existent, and there are
none of the hustle bows so popular
elsewhere, this designer tying her very
large evening sashes at the side-back
or the side-front. The dresses here are
not fitted in the perfectly nodded way
instead they give the appearance of be-
ing rather accidentally fitted, as when
the bias type Of bodice which this de-
signer favors is particularly adapted to
certain figures.
The first Winter showing of the house
Of Yvonne Dangel was most interesting.
Beautiful materials, excellent colors and
perfection of tailoring marked the cos
tunes shown. This designer has really
delightful clothes sense-every type Of
costume being most successfully de-
veloped and eminently wearable. A

"HE homemaker who keeps herself
we'll informed about period
styles in decoration as expressed
i in modern treatment of rooms
will find the present trend to-
ward the Directoire full of interest.
Most homes which boast of heirlooms
will find among these treasures some
articles in Directoire style or showing
its influence
The Directoire name reverts to a
period in French national development
which, being between 1895 and 1899,
was the period when France was ruled
by an assembly of five members called
the Directory. Short as is this period,
it has left its marks on fashion Since
1t came SO close to the time when
France helped America to win her free
dom, there was a natural tendency to
reflect French styles.
This style may be applied to American
homes by bringing to the fore the
antiques of this era in furnishing rooms
with modern articles in Directoire style,
or by adding to old furnishings other
articles in this periodic fashion. In
doing this it should be remembered that
there is note of the classic stability
in much of the Directoire furniture
which makes 1t fit in with fine old
English American pieces of the time of
the American Revolution.
Some Of the earmarks of Directoire
styles in furniture are seen in choice

- RACE is uppermost in the
minds of several French de-
r signers, who have suddenly
~ decided to exploit the natural
figure. Patou's evening line is
very near to nature, as Is August
abernard's. The severely simple, long,
slim gowns at these houses suggest very
strongly an entirely uncorseted figure,
but good and youthful one, very straight
and supple. If these figures are cor
seted the deed has been accomplished
most skillfully, for the gowns are fitted
like the skin itself
A great deal has been said about the
Patou skirts that are cut to outline the
leg. This refers, IN the main, to his
evening velvets, which are designed to
cling to the thigh and move with the
Wearer Sometimes a narrow, double
inverted boXpleat, intricately cut and
stitched, is inserted down the front to
contribute to the ciinging effect, al
though IN every instance the hemllne
of the skirts is wide enough to permit
of graceful step.
The bodices CT these evening dresses
are smooth and closely fitted to mold
the figure, and bound in gently at the
waist with slim strands CT fabrics, such
as crepe and velvet, ScfteSt moire. silk
lace or tulle. Very daring, indeed, are
some of the new decolletageS at Patou's.
Several models reveal the nude back
below the belt, which crosses the deep
open B line at the waist.
AT Augustabernard's rich and
beautifully done collection includes
many evening dresses of velvet and
crepe with shirred sections on one hip
and at one side of the bodice, demon
strating the tendency toward the un-
corseted figure. There is a distinct
tendency toward the mode for fuller
figure at this house, and no attempt is
made to conceal the bust.

get soothing relief in three min
utes with "B. Co., a reliable,
pleasant-to-take remedy. "B. c."
is prepared by a registered phar-

ent principle from most relief
giving agencies in that it contains
several ingredients so blended
and porportioned as to accomplish
in few minutes what we believe
no. one drug formula can do in so
short time. "B. C. " should also
be used for the relief of muscular
aches and pains, common colds
and neuralgia; for reducing fever
and quieting distressed nervous
system without opiates, narcotics
or such habit forming drugs. Get
"B. Co." in 10c and Csc packages,
wherever drugs are sold. (adv.)
