Dorothy Dix Says
Marriage Does Not Mean Woman Can
Cease Effort to Please.

who look as if they need to be run
through the laundry.
Every woman when she gets married
decides for herself whether she is
going to degenerate into a bore, or
keep herself interesting. She decides
whether her husband will get tired
of her and lose his taste for her or
not. There are plenty of women who,
as soon as they are married. give up
whatever accomplishments they have
had. They never touch the piano
again or sing any more. They never
read a new book or even the news
papers. They give up their clubs and
drop out of society. They never have
a new thought or a fresh idea and
they get as dull as dish water.
1T IS no wonder that the wives who
make no effort to keep up with
their husbands mentally and socially
and who never try to be bright and
entertaining and amusing and SYM
pathetic drive their husbands to other
women for companionship. The wives
who pal with their husbands. who are
always ready to grab their hats and
20 when their husbands want to step
out, who are good listeners and who
always have something interesting to
talk about, never have to complain
that they are left to spend lonely eve
nings at home while husband diverts
hirose1f oISawhere
And women decide when they marry
what kind of wives they are going to
be; whether they are going to be help
mates or parasites; whether they are
going to be peevish and fretful and
complaining or good sports; whether
they are going to take matrimony
on the chin or go down before the
first blow.
For marriage isn't the end of things
to a woman. 1t is just the beginning,
where she starts out to make what
she will of it. And there is no place
in it where she can sit down and fold
her hands and take it easily.

Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Personal Force.

Personal Force.
THE human body is machine. Ger
= tain forces keep this machine 60
ing. Glands, muscles and digestive
system are the better known ones. The
human mind Is often called machine.
Less is known about the forces that
keep it going. For these forces run
into the thousands.
Perhaps the most important OF all
the mental forces is that which we
call memory. It sometimes becomes
inactive. When that happens, the
mind is gone. The personality that
formerly hooked up each yesterday
with each succeeding today loses its
identity. as well as its ability to adjust
the body to the common affairs Of life.
Few of us take the time to study
that force called memory. 1t works
day and night. That's why our dreams
are important. No one can success
fully refute that we solve many OF our
problems while we sleep. The memory
works among its contents, selecting
and rearranging them so as to get
ready for another day. In other words
we organize our wishes. These. IN
some mysterious way find expression
IN all we do or try to do on the NOR
row When we stop dreaming, we
lose our memories. A great mental
force then begins to slow down and
,,fe becomes an existence rather than
. challenger u our daily problems.

piles of boxes of lovely new neckwear-
over 200 pieces, to be exact-of satin,
bengaline, sheer and lace collars at
this popular price. They are all so
fresh and so smart in design that you
will not be able to resist them. We
have sketched some of them for you,
but that could not begin to do them
justice.
If you like soft, fluffy bows in white
or delicate pink you may have your
choice in size and edge finish Of the
ruffies: there are some made Of fas-
cinating new fine crocheted stitch in
white that are as delicate as butterfly
wings.
There are quantities of interesting
designs in white satin to become every
sort OF neck, and the combination OF
satin with bengaline is very good. too
Satin-covered buttons or clear glass
and little bows make the finishing
touches. There are many jabot ef-
fects and the backs of the collars are
smartly different.
The same shop reports that flowers
will continue to be worn this Fall
and they are already showing them In
patent leather in the darker colors OF
purple and dubonnet. Clusters OF
wood brown and soft rust-colored
flowers are shown in satin, also the
darker greens. Grape clusters will
be very important. In shining white
satin for evening they are lovely and
quite suitable for immediate wear.

COME of the shops are selling hand
kerchiefs at ID cents apiece, OF
six for 81. They are a very good
value for this price. Some OF them
are all white with borders Of cordine
in a nice size and good quality OF
French sheer Others go in for mod
ern designs and bright peasant color
ing and combine block prints with
applique flower motifs in a new and
very decorative way. The pastel hand
kerchiefs with large petit point inl-
tials done In French blue with tiny
pink roses are another good item
and some covered with little rose
buds in the Dolly Warden manner will
appeal to those who are not so keen
about the ultra modern. The bright
awning striped handkerchiefs with
plain dark appliqued centers at 30
cents are perfect for vacation sports
wear.

T OUD yells and screeches echoed
down the beach. Hettie looked
up from the castle she was building
and said, "Margie's bein' bad"
why, wonder?"
"I don't know. Guess cause she
wants to-"
Margie's screams grew louder and
people looked in her direction. Hush,
Margie, hush! Everybody's looking
at you"
"I don't care. I don't care. Let
me go. Let me go. I wanna go-o-o!"
Norah set her jaw grirnly, tight
ened her hold on Margie's arm and
hustled her toward the cottage. Mrs.
Witherby was at the door to meet
them. What is 1t? Anything hap
pened? Is she hurt? Margie, stop
yelling"
Nothing in this world the matter
with her, madam. She just up and
yelled and danced and behaved that

Margie. angry TO the roots Of her
hair, stamped and screeched. Mother
put her fingers in her ears and Norah
shook her sharply. stop It! You
bad girl. you"
Grandma came downstairs, gave
one look. swept Marjorie into the
house and up the stairs without a
word. The h0WlS died almost In
stantly. No sound came from the
| upper regions and mother sighed in
relief. Nothing happened to her,
Norah? You're sure?"
Certain, madam. Just the badness
in her. That's everything that's the
matter"
After a time grandma came down
the stairs leading lovely little girl
by the hand This little girl was
dressed in pale blue organdie frock.
Bare legs, white sandals, short socks
with a blue line at the ankle.
We're going to call on Evelyn and
her mother. We will be home for
tea, please" said grandma, with a
touch of dignity and formality that
was charming.
After bedtime, when Margie was
asleep and the two ladies rocked on
the porch, grandma said: Il put
that dress Margie had on this morn
ing in the waste bag. 1t was inr
| possible"
Her dress? didn't notice. Was
1t Soiled, or torn, or what?"
1T was impossible. Orange and
red and green stripes, and an orange
red hat. She looked like an awning
out for a gallop with the wind. No
wonder she had temper spell. Who
in the world bought the thing in
the first place?"
Katherine made 1t for her birth
day. thought it very gay for the
beach. You think it was"
Impossible. 1t made her feel loud
and vulgar and rebellious. The child
takes the mood Of. her dress quickly.
The moment I took out her pale blue
organdy and the blue ribbons she
changed into a gentle creature, all
smiles and good manners. Dress her
for the right mood and We won't
have so much trouble.

The Old Gardener Says :

The often-repeated question,
"Why do my wistarias fail to
bloom?" is difficult to answer.
These plants often come into
bloom suddenly after many years.
Others are permanently barren
and might as well be ripped out.
They are usually plants grown
from seed. Grated plants should
always be demanded, for they
usually bloom when only 3 feet
high. They may cost a little
more than kinds grown from seed
but are worth the difference.
Much can be done to make wis
tarias bloom better by cutting the
long straggly canes back to within
4 feet of the old wood. August is
the time to do this work. New
spurs will be developed and fow-
ers are likely to appear on them.

w YHAT a lot of difference a
M fresh collar makes. When
wv woman changes her col
" lar, 1t usually changes the
entire character of her dress. Va
riety is the very spice of collars, and
in numbers there is safety from being
a bore to yourself and to others as
well. A new collar always makes your
frock look up-to-the- e-minute, even if
it is not so new; and the Spick-and-
span effect Of immaculate white at
the neck Is always attractive.
Already new neckwear for the COM
ing season is making its appearance, so
that you may freShen up your dark
or pastel sheers with something that
will retain its style value for long
while. Collars seem to have a good
deal Of softneSs, even in the tailored
types; satin is a high light among
the materials for early Fall wear; also
lace with fagoting, lace with strips of
sheer, and tiny braided edges are also
most attractive. Although the high,
round neck remains a favorite, there
are all varieties of necklines to suit
each individual need.
X y y
ONE shop is showing group Of
large collars that almost cover
the front Of the frock, thus making
an ideal accessory to take on the vaca-
ton, where all those little helps to
changes of costume are big assets.
They come in number Of types, all
of which make use Of lace insertion,
val of more bold pattern in linen
lace, and the strips are joined to-
gether in various interesting ways.
White, ecru and pink are the colors
of these collars, and they are priced
under 81.
The same shop is showing belt and
triangle sets in satin with dots IN
white, which are very smart and q
little newer than the crepe, although
all of these are excellent for making
quick changes in white or plain
colored dress. Black and white satin
on a black sheer will pep it up" in a

LII OhBhDIhAhl DAAAe
" Tot Summer afternoons make
special demands on the ward
robe of the average woman.
l. Il There must be dresses that
are not too elaborate nor too fussy
in detail to make her appear at her
best. But she should have things that
are soft and gracious in line and are
quite different from the sports dresses,
in which she spends most Of her days.
This season the gracious afternoon
frock is more apparent, where smart
women gather, than in many sea-
sons passed. There is a tendency
towards the wearing of dressier cos
TUNES for leisure hours, which is well
coined by women who tire of the sim
pie, Straightlined frock, which had
become almost a uniform in years
gone by.
Capes are important in the mode
They appear on every sort Of dress
and are particularly at home in the
afternoon dress of sheer fabric. Fur
thermore, they are unusually becom-
ing to the older woman. for they
tend to make hips slim, in contrast,
and as there is no necessity for sleeves
when they are employed there is the
advantage of GOODNESS and comfort
The cape in today's Illustration reaches
almost to the waist and quite to the
elbows and is edged with a wide band
of net or any transparent material.
1t crosses, surplice-fashion, in the
front, and is adorned with two huge
flowers. The skirt has inserts at the
sides. starting at the knees or there
abouts, the faring line at the bot
tom of the skirt being in harmony
with the wide cape and most becoming
to the woman of mature figure.
Sheer materials are much used for
afternoon. Chiffon, of course, is a
Summer favorite, and marquisette is
a newcomer to the mode, and is eX-
tremely effective. Cotton voile Is

has achieved ones objective, where
one has secured a livelihood and
where one can sit down and rest and
take things easily.
She thinks that she will no longer
have to wear herself out weaving
spells about a man that she has al
ready caught; that she will not have
to primp and powder and paint and
doll herself up so that she will look
good to a mere husband; that she
will not have to f1atter and cajole
him and labor overtime, as she did
in the days Of courtship, to keep him
interested and amused. In short, she
looks upon marriage as sort of Ely
SUM in which a woman can throw
all her tricks out of the window and
eat all she wants to and let out her
corset strings aid discard all tact and
suhtlety and just let Nature take its
course.
This mistaken theory concerning
the privileges and emoluments of
matrimony Is one of the main reasons
why there are so many wives beating
their breasts over husbands who are
lost, Strayed or stolen, and why there
are so many divorces. For catching
a husband is easy enough. Holding
him is the thing that takes per-
petual vigilance and keeping on the
job And so those ladies who hold
to the faith that marriage gives them
the right to slump are headed for
much grief.
1T IS the greatest pity in the world
that women do not realize that
marriage should not be the end but
the beginning of a womans attrac-
| tiveness, and that she should put
forth a thousandfold more effort to
be fascinating to her husband than
she was to her suitor. For to lose
ones sweetheart is merely a tenn
porary inconvenience, while to lose
husband means a wrecked home,
a broken heart and half-orphaned
little children.
In all good truth, marriage is the
turning point of every woman's life.
1t is then that she begins either to
peter out or to make something OF
herself. Up to then she has had the
freshness and beauty and allure OF
youth. She has had the animal gay
ETY., the high spirits, the playfulness
that make all young things seem
sprightly nd intelligent. Well, these
charms will soon 60, and then wife
has to decide what sort Of show she
Is going to put on for her husband
for the balance OF their lives, whether
she will give a performance that will
keep him giving her the glad hand OF
one that he will run out on.
IOF COURSE, every woman In her
senses knows that by no miracle
can she keep herself always young
and beautiful, no matter how many
| facials and permanents she has, but
every woman can keep herself easy
on the eyes II she Is well dressed and
well groomed. Some wit has said
that the secret of the sirens power
was that they spent their private
lives In scrubbing their elbows, and
certainly no woman lacks charm
whose personal appearance is i'm
maculate. The homely women are
the sleyens whose hair is never
combedy whose frocks never at. AND
