You ladies Of the bath will re-
joice over the lateral shower spray.
It's a new, impressive piece Of
plumbing that puts temperamental
showers to shame, prevents bath
room floods, puts an end to bath
tub slippingS- keeps your hair
dry, even if you don't wear a cap.
It consists Of a pierced chro-
mimum tube (wil not rust or
tarnish, praise beD that fits the
upper edge Of your tub, all around,
and attaches itself to the faucet
by means Of a short rubber arm
with an adjustable nozzle. When
It's in place and connected, you
just sit in your bath and turn on
the taps. A nice even spray strikes
you at shoulder height, but does
not go to your head.
This is particularly nice find
for lazy tubbers, who prefer to go
unrinsed rather than stand under
shower after a relaxing bath.
Now they may take their rinse al
most lying down.
Mothers are jubilant over it.
Not only because children love to
use it, but it keeps their heads
from getting wet too frequently
a consideration of some impor-
tance If you want your children to
have healthy hair.
If daddy would take some ad-
vice, he also would become a lat
eral shower devotee. Too much
soap and water on the scalp en-
tices dandruff-and after dan
druff comes badness. Ask any Spe-
cialist about that.
This shower comes in two Sec
tons, with extensions. It will fit
any size tub, and when not in use
may be hung up or conveniently
tucked out Of sight. Can you i'm
agine anything more advantageous
for summer use? You will be buy.

Advice to the
loveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Written Exclusively for The
Washington Times

Dear Miss Fairfax:
If it were not for my two chill
dren, I would not be writing to
you, but happily on my way to
Reno. My wife, to whom I have
been married for 10 years, is the
most idiotically extravagant
woman that ever lived.
She spends every cent I give
her, and gets me into debt over
whelmingly, entertaining her
club Of old bridge Betsies, and
running around to all sorts Of
affairs that get us exactly no.
where.
Her friends are always her in
feriorS, because she enjoys the
experience Of having them look
up to her and flatter her. I'm
devoted to our children, and for
this reason I stick on, but I feel
a good deal of a fool for doing
so. Have you any suggestions.
UNHAPPY HUSBAND.
When things reach the state
you describe in your letter, it
might be well to have a lawyer
talk to your wife about her ex-
travagance. The lawyer might
tell her that you were consider
ing inserting an advertisement
in the papers to the effect that
you would not be responsible for
her debts.
And while this would be a Ia
mentable thing to do, and I
hope you will never be driven to
it, still if she got what the Irish
call "the hard word" from a law
yer, it might make her consider
before plunging you further into
debt.
I applaud your idea Of not
breaking up your home, for your
children'S sake.

KINDS OF WINES SERVED DINNER DEPENDS LARGELY FOOD COUR
Dog Pets Readily
Learn to Sit
Erect
BY LIZ HUME

Rex, pictured here, must be
begging for his supper. At any
rate, he knows how to sit up in
a most artful manner. Rex be-
longs to Mrs. George Mcdonald.
He is a for terrier.
This trick is easily taught

cluded in a big dogs education,
as 1t is difficult for them to pre-
serve their balance. The act of
sitting up forms the groundwork
for many other tricks.
Slight Aid
To teach a dog to sit up have
as a reward a small piece of
meat, and set your pupil on his
launches in a corner, so that
he cannot fall either backward
or sideways and has practically
no balancing to do.
Keep him from pitching
toward by holding one hand un-
der his chin and with the other
hand hold the reward above his
nose and keep repeating dis
tinctly and deliberately, "Sit up.
Do not make him sit up too long
at any one time, but repeat the
lesson frequently.
During his first lesson he will
require considerable assistance
from your hand to prevent him
from pitching forward. But as
he gets control of the balancing
muscles and understands what
you want, he will depend less
and less upon your hand to
keep him in position.
During all these lessons the
words "sit up" have been
impressed upon his mind by fire.
Quent repetition. Now comes
the final lesson to teach him
to sit up as soon as he hears
the words.
Reward
The chances are, if he has
been conscientiously drilled, it
will be necessary only to show
him small piece Of meat;
hold it up a suitable distance
from the floor; say "sit up" and
he will do so. Then he should
be given the titbit while still in
position.
Rehearse with him several
times a day until he will sit
up at the word without being
shown a reward; that can be
given after he has obeyed.

electing myself.
Take me-I'm fifty.
But if anyone thinks I'm ready
for a cozy nook by the fireside,
they're simply CR-R-RAZY!
To the contrary, feel I'm
just getting my stride. Hither-

making mistakes. Now I'm syn

them in this paper. And if
setting sun doesn't see at least
one small rumpus started by
lii Elsie, I'm ready to eat my
portable typewriter.
Does that sound like Resigned
Old Age?
It does not! Nor is it!
Why should I be resigned
about my age when I'm just be-
ginning to enjoy it?
Why should my face be red
simply because I'm interested
in something besides the latest
p1ng-pong score, or sun-tan
powder?
Yet, thousands Of my worthy
contemporaries are going around
with ears dragging, merely be-
cause they can't qualify for

Well, I adore babies and ad-

are diverting-at times. But I'll
tell the world-and I don't care
a hoot who hears me-that I'M

Meaning the prevalent idea
that a 45-year-old human is

This notion is peculiarly
American. In other countries
men and women of 40 are con-

CASTOR and Oscar may no

they were at 20, but neither is

BY the same token, Matilda

the rosebud skin of 16; but
neither-thank God!-have they
rosebud brains. And gentlemen
prefer 'em ripe in Europe.
Not so in America where,
since the war, we have developed

Eye Exercises
Dear Miss Shelby:
Could you tell me Of some
method that will strengthen
my eyes. Sincerely,
MRS. j. B. l..
Dear Mrs. ]. B. L.:
Place the fingers of one hand
across the fingers Of the other,
palms toward you. Cup your
hands and place them over
your eyes, so that all light is
shut out. Do this two or three
minutes a day.
Another good exercise is
looking to upper right of room
and back, then to upper left
and back; look to lower right
and back and lower left and
back. This should be done
eight or ten times a day.
Roll your eyes around and
blink. Remember to change
your range of vision often, as
it helps to strengthen the eyes.

Interesting Effect
One Of the rooms that I liked
particularly well is known as the
black and oyster room. The
furniture is in an oyster shade
with black trimmings, the bed
spreads are Of gray corduroy
and the chaise lounge is white
with turquoise moss fringe. The
rug is gray cut and uncut pile'
which produces an interesting
effect. Lines are simple
throughout with an effect OF
ease and refinement that is
truly Hvable.
Another bedroom that will
share In the popularity Is called
the daffodil room, with black
and yellow plaid wallpaper and
yellow draperieS to match the
bedSpread. An upholstered chair
I is in q peach shade. The debu-
! tante room has prevailing colorS
Of red, silver and blue.
Nursery
"A nursery to delight both
mother and child is developed in
cream with a trimming Of red.
The furniture is in old white
and exposition red and a blue
hooked loom rug covers the
floor. Curtains are white Or
CANDY with red cord ties. The
highly processed finish permits
the hardest Of knocks without
danger.
Washington has been chosen
by the Modren American Guild

expected that many hundreds
of thousands of people will have
viewed these modern bedrooms

show. I'm showing a picture Of
one of the rooms on this page
