The recipes which I am including
today along these lines are all in

that reason. However, should you de-
sire to try them out on yourself, or

RUT happily this can be averted by
the simple expedient adopted by
the wise husband quoted at the be-
ginning of this article. Let the wife
have the last word and that satisfies
her, and her husband can do as he
pleases. He has made the gesture of
deferring to her superior judgment
and sagacity, and that is all she
wants. Besides, you can't quarrel with
an individual who won't quarrel back
You can't argue with one who says,
Have it your own way"
Then there is the tip on how to win
out in marriage offered by the second
man who had likewise enjoyed SO
years Of felicity with a contented wife.
He paid his wife little attentions and
jollied her along. He never forgot
anniversaries. He brought her home
little presents even If 1t was no more
than bag of popcorn. He noticed
when she had her hair done a new
way and complimented her on her
new frock. He took her out to the
movies. And he used the salve-
spreader instead of the hammer in
dealing with her.
r X r
MAYBE that man didn't have much
money. Maybe his wife rode in
a secondhand lizzie instead Of a
limousine. Maybe she bought her
dresses in Easements instead of spe-
cialty shops. Maybe she had to do
her own cooking and washing and
ironing instead Of being waited on by
a retinue of servants. It didn't mat
ter. For so years she went along
being happy and thinking herself the
luckiest woman in the world because
her husband didn't take her for
granted and paid her the compliments
that every wife Graves and so few get.
So here are two recipes for how to
be happy though married that are
recommended to work by husbands
who have tried them out for SO years.
Let your wife have the last word.
Pay her little attentions and Jolly
her along. DOROTHY DIX.

Care of Skin
Comes First
From Within
Determining Type Is
First Necessity
in Treatment.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

IF YOU know just what it takes to
achieve or preserve a beautiful
complexion the rest Is up to you.
The reason many women fail in their
facial treatments is the fact that
many do not know that there are
three important steps to follow.
First, remember that q healthy,
beautiful skin usually accompanies a
healthy body. While blemished skin
sometimes goes with a very normal
body (the blemishes due to improper
cleansing, to accumulations of dust,
CRIME, etc), one seldom sees a beau
tiful skin on a rundown person..
The first step then is caring for the
skin from within. The chief reason
for failure to achieve results in cor
recting skin flaws is the fact that
women expect too much Of cosmetics
| and external preparations. Not that
these aren't important or don't do
the trick. They certainly do all that
can be expected Of them. But the
foundation must be health. You can't
hope for flawless, fine-textured skin
II your digestive system has been
abused, if you are rundown or ner-
vous for any reason, get insufficient
rest, exercise, fresh air. You have to
eat right, drink enough water, live
sensibly and hygienically. Then and
only then should you expect your cos
metics TO do 100 per cent job.
The second step is: Recognizing
the particular type Of skin that is
yours. Judge first its oil content.
Is it very dry or is it the oily, greasy
variety? 1t shouldn't be difficult to
recognize or to differentiate the one
from the other. realize that there
are other difficulties to contend with:
Wrinkles and lines, blackheads, white
heads, pimples and so on. But if
you remember that the last three
usually attract the oily type and the
first two prematurely park on the
dry, you know why we classify skins
primarily into the two big groups.
The third step is choosing the
preparations needed according to the
skin type. And here word Of warm
ing is in order. Choose slowly, care
| fully. Convince yourself that the
brand you are about to use has merit.
And then give yourself and your cos
metics fair chance. Follow direc-
tons to the letter. Continue with
the treatment for reasonable length
OF time. Don't be easily discouraged.
Don't fit from one jar to another.
Some medicine chests or dressing ta-
bles look like collection from a toilet
goods counter. Persistence is a virtue
| in complexion care at least.

~ UITS are in high favor at the
moment and will continue in
popular demand throughout the
~ Fall and Winter. They are ver-
satile and fill many needs; with the
substitution of sweaters for silk blouses
will keep you warm in all but the
most severe weather.
Suits for sports, suits for business
and general town wear and exquisite
suits for the cocktail hour; no occa-
sion has been neglected in the suit
collections. You will find them with
boxy jackets fur collared, the Russian
suit with front fullness, the peplum
suit with fox collar and border of fur
on the peplum, the tunic suit, with
separate furs, and the dressy ensemble
Of black wool consisting of a cloth
frock with short faring jacket, fur
trimmed.
The two suits sketched are typical
of the smart mode in gray tweed. The
three-quarter coat on the suit at the
left has a tuxedo collar topped with
gray caracul and a caracul vest, so
that the coat swings open gracefully
at all times and falls in ripples in the
back. The skirt has side kick pleats.
The short jacket suit is made of the
same lovely material and has collar
and lapels Of gray krimmer.
OF handsome brown friZe (that
heavy woolen material with a raised
pattern> is a knee-length swagger
with collar of natural lynx and full
sleeves gathered into wrist bands. A
very striking model in green frize has
hip-length jacket, with wide collar
of beaver, which extends down the
front and around the bottom Of the
coat. The collar Is pushed open at
the front and shows a vest Of the
green frize, with standing collar that
fastens at one side. The sleeves are
full through the elbows and there Is
a wide crush belt. AL of these suits
are exceptionally smart looking and
made of the best materials and furs.
THE tuxedo idea Is carried out again
in q dashing green suit, with
widely faring flnger-length coat edged
with red fox fur. This is an ensemble
with its own frock sporting a row of
perky green bows down the front from
collar to waist. The fur jacket, with
touches Of material that is worn with
accompanying skirt, Is snappy when
the jacket Is a boxy one Of gray cara

the hips. and Is flared little at the
bottom, in the manner of practically

BY ANGELO PATRI.

TN MANY families the main meal OF
= the day, dinner or supper. is the
only occasion the family enjoys to-
gether. Enjoy is the right word, but
often 1t cannot be applied to the
atmosphere of the table where the
children bicker and the father and
mother scold from the beginning to
the end of the meal. This is bad
for the family feeling. 1t creates
more trouble than it cures. The
family scatters after the meal IN
worse mood than ever.
Did you get better mark IN
arithmetic today, or were you just
as dumb as usual?" asks father,
pleasantly.
Son rufaes up "If We had some
thing else besides those dumb eX-
amples about loss and gain l might
get a chance to have decent mark"
You'd be just as dumb, brother"
says sister sWeetly.
You needn't talk, Marie. Just look
at your nails. I should think a girl
of your age would be ashamed Of such
nails Biting them down to the quick. F"
Can I help it?"
Don't talk to your mother like that.
won't have it." storms father.
well, I don't care. I'm always be-
ing blamed for something"
But you were quick enough to hop
on me, weren't you, Marie? You'd
think by you that your lessons were
AA. Just the same your name was
called out In study hall for not hav-
ing homework in"
Whats that, Marie? You didn't
do your homework? I'd like to know
what you were doing? Now after this,
don't you leave the room until you
show me your homework done to the
last line. You understand"
I'D like to have one meal in this
house in peace" says father. You
seem to save up all your complaints
and fights until you sit down to the
table. If we can't have peace I'll
eat my dinner in the shed with
Rover"
The table ought to be the cere-
monial place for the family. The first
rule to enforce Is the one that for
bids any personal remarks. Nobody
father, mother or child-is to make
q personal remark that reflects dis
credit upon any member of the family.
No criticism, no correction, nothing in
any way unpleasant is to be expressed
at the table.
The setting should be as formal as
possible, plates laid precisely, spaced
well on the table; the silver laid cor
rectly, ends on line, edge of knives
turned toward plate. The glasses
should shine and the silver sparkle
and centerpiece ought to give color
to the center. The service should be
simple and marked by courtesy and
grace. No matter how simple the
dinner or the supper, this is possible.
The family should <'ress for dinner
This does not mean tail coats and
toplesS gowns. 1t means fresh clothes
and clean hands and faces, freshness
of body and apparel. Mother starts
the conversation and the family takes
the cue. Each does his best to keep
things pleasant, give each other a good
time, and a warm feeling about the
heart. The children should feel that
they are safe and secure at the table.
They should be able to look toward
it as sanctuary The observance of
this ceremonial will go far toward es-
tablishing family harmony and instill-
ing good manners in the group.

Good Taste.
At tWedding
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: Thirty-five
years ago this month my mother
dressed in soft gray charmeuse,
against the white Of my bridal clothes
and with bridesmaids in the various
shades of sweetpeas. went up the aisle
with me to an adapted Episcopal cere-
mony. She was my best friend and I
wanted her with me. I never heard
any but sympathetic and admiring
comment. A sound and lovely senti-
ment was expressed and I am sure
that the wedding picture was not
spoiled. My mother was still young
and very pretty woman. read your
column with interest and usually
with agreement, often with enlight-
enment or reminder. But ! should
like to testify for a little different
recommendation from the one you
make in connection with including
mothers in the wedding procession" !"
Answer-As you describe it, I
willingly agree that the picture Is
charming. But in my defense must
add that in less demure and self
effacing clothes the effect of mother
and bride would be quite different.
Dear Mrs. Post: There seems to
be q disagreement about the necessity
for taking presents to ones hostess
when going to spend q week end So,
to get us straight, viii you tell us
Just what Is customary-according to
etiquette-among well hammered
guests?"
Answer-Etiquette does not exact
that any one take gift to his (or her)
hostess or even that anything be sent
afterward-except q thank you note
after having stayed In her house for
q night or longer. On the other
hand, to take q box Of candy or q
book Is a courteous gesture that many
people like to make. Where there
are young children, guests almost
always bring them toys. Often these
are no more than trifies from
5-and-10-cent store or counter. But
children are always so pleased with
o present-and this naturally pleases
their mother, too.

miliar lapin coat, with plaid skirt. is
an ideal combination for everyday
wear.
The very coarsely woven tweeds with
lots Of bright color showing in the
nubS of the wool are excellent for
wear during the colder weather as
they usually have large collars Of
raccoon or other long-haired fur.
These suits with extra short jackets
averaged around $40. A very good one
in neutral gray is frightened with
nubs of vivid green and is lined with
brown silk. The short jacket has
yoke and inverted pleat at the back,
with belt, skirt slit at the side seam,
and a big, comfy top coat with rae
coon collar that can be worn over
other dresses as well.

A CHARMING ensemble for the
Junior miss is in the brown wool
with abbreviated, basque-fitted jacket
with deep round collar Of baronduki
that Is cut in points at the edge with
a smaller Peter Pan collar. 1t fastens
up snugly with a row Of buttons close
together at the front. and the finish
ing touch Is little brown mum
trimmed with baronduki cut in points
like the collar. This Is q size IL,
priced at $39.75.
One Of the very handsome dress
maker suits made on softer lines and
suitable for dressy afternoon wear is
Persian, and band Of Persian, mar
row where 1t joins the collar, but
widening out and trimming the entire
lower corners Of the finger-tip coat.
The sleeves are full toward the wrist.
When the coat Is removed a stunning
dress Is revealed combining black
satin with woolen. A big loop Of satin
is shirred on to the high bateau neck
and more shirring forms blocks at
each side Of the front. Satin and
cloth are further combined cleverly
in the waist which Is attached to a
gored skirt Of the coat material, with
a massive buckle Of silver metal. This
ensemble is good example Of the
dressy afternoon suit at a price that
runs into three figures and looks it.

Dorothy Dix Says
Two Recipes Show How to Be Happy
Though Married.

IN SPITE of the intrease in divorce
there are still a lot of marriages
that take" and of late surpris
i ingly large number of old couples
have been celebrating their golden
weddings.
Significantly, they all claim to have
lived together in peace and harmony
during their so years of matrimony,
and when two of the elderly husbands
were asked how they achieved this
remarkable feat, they gave answers
that furnish food for thought for all
young people contemplating entering
into the holy estate.
II always let my wife have the last
word" declared one.
II always paid my wife little atten-
tons and jollied her along" asserted
the other.
In these two pronunciamentos are
to be found all Of the law and the
prophets about how to get along with
a wife and make her eat out Of her
husbands hand. No bridegroom can
do better than to take them as his
watchword as he embarks upon the
dangerous adventure Of matrimony.
They will be lamp for his feet to
guide him through the dark and in
tricate passages of feminine psychol-
ogy as he gets acquainted with the
lady he has led to the altar, and they
will do as much as any other one
thing to help him make success of
marriage and stay married to the
same woman.
THE reason that so many marriages
are failures is because men, with
the exception Of widowers who have
cut their wisdom teeth on their we'd
ding cakes, 10 to speak, make two
great mistakes in dealing with their
wives. The first Is to take it as a mat
ter of course that the women they
marry will automatically become rub
Der stamps Of themselves, with the
same tastes, desires and inclinations
that they have, and that they will
want to 60 to the same places. do the
same things and like the same peo-
pie that they do.
That would enable the husband to
be the head of the house, as he ex-
poets, and lay down the law without
opposition or friction. But to the
young husbands surprise this doesn't
happen. Quite the contrary. Wife has
her own peculiar ways which are set
in solid concrete. She has her own
unalterable opinions ana Is dyed
through and through with her own
prejudices. Hence the clash Of per-
sonalities, the spats. the nagging, the
endless arguing that makes so many
homes q place of strife in which
neither the husband nor wife can even
say it is q pleasant day for fear Of
starting something.
X
NOV much Of this disputation Is
y nothing but the wife's desire to
assert herself and show that she won't
be bossed by her husband. It Is her
declaration Of independence. She Is
showing hubby that she has Just as
good q right as he has to say whether
the new car shall be o coupe or q
sedan, and whether they will 60 to
the seashore or the mountains, and
whethsr the children shall wear socks
or stockings.
Now in any talking match between
man and q woman, the man Is
bound to lose out because in the use
Of the tongue the woman has more
speed and staying powers, 20 the
family argument invariably ends In
husband jamming on his hat and
banging the door behind him and the
wife retiring to the sofa in floods Of
tears, and with each filled with Bit
terness toward the other. 4

The Old Gardener Saws !:

Although many lily bulbs do
not reach this country until late
In the season, a few kinds are
available now and should be
planted at once. The two most
notable examples are the Ma
donna lily, called in the catalogues
Liliufn candidum, and the Nam
keen lily, which the catalogues
list as Lilium testaceum. These
two kinds, and especially the Ma
donna lily, should be planted as
soon as the bulbs are available.
The best kinds come, probably,
from the north Of France, al
though some good strains are
produced in this country. These
lilies differ from most others in
another way. Instead of being
planted 8 or 10 inches deep, they
should go into the ground only 8
inches, because they need to
make certain amount of growth
before the snow flies.
