TODAY'S dress illustrates the
nice, restrained use Of the coli
lar worn by sailors the world
i over, and 1t is q terribly smart
dress, with its perfectly fitted lines
and buttoned side closing. It Is the
sort of frock that is equally good In
cotton or silk ard should impart TO
Its wearer the enviable feeling Oh
being very well-dressed.
There are some grand, new colors
on the fashion scene. Some are old
favorites with new names ana some
are very distinctly new colors. Tney
sound acknowledgements blue,
strong, light shade; Bambino, paier
blue, and Moulin Rouge, luscious
raspberry. =.
Sudanette would be very good Tor
this frock, as would linen or pique.
Shantung is nice for those OF you
who like silks. It's color range Is very
wide and 1t launders well. And here
is q suggestion. File this pattern
away, for your farst FAN dress. niade

my dance practice IN the mornings
after breakfast 1t is to this that
principally ascribe the fact that I am
able to keep my figure within picture
requirements with q minimum OF
effort.
My dances consist Of tap, rhythm
futuristic and ball room dances. You
see, before I entered Aims, I appeared
in a number of New York revues and
clubs as o dancer, and I am anxious
TO preserve whatever talents may
have. Besides, it's awfully good exer-
else.
One Of my favorite exercises Is
fencing. I thing that 1t is probably
the finest exercise I know to develop
grace, skill and agility. Try to get out
of the way of a foil in the hands Of
skilled fencer some time, and I'm sure
you'll agree with me.
As far as diet is concerned. I eat
anything and everything and depend
mostly upon the skill Of my chef to
furnish well-balanced meals.

Good Taste
AtWedding
Ceremonies
"DEAR MRS. POST: Since you

"DEAR MRS. POST: Since you
~ seem to approve the irregularity
of the bridegroom's having his own
father for his best man, why is it that
you insist it would not do for the
mother of the bride to act as her
dauehter's matron Of honor?"
Answer-For one reason. because I
think 1t would look very unsuitable
for o woman, who Is so much older.
to be dressed in the clothes OF q
bridesmaid. And If her clothes were
altogether different she would be
equally out of key. Mems clothes are
precisely alike whether they are IL
or 80. For another reason: The
brides father Is always in the wedding
procession, the clergyman Is seldom
very young. Another older man,
therefore, Is not unconventional.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is 1t true that
at home cards, tnclosed with we'd
ding announcements, are sent to only
the favored few to whom n bride Is
willing to be at home after the date
QeSlRQdIGu! IL ~ ny 0OA JO0 90 -
that the practice Is snobbish2"
Answer-It need not mean that the
bride is unwilling to receive those to
whom no at-home cards are sent, but
merely that they are sent to her per-
sonal friends who are likely to care
for her enough to want to 60 ut once
to see her, before her name can be
listed In q social register and tele-
phone directory.
Dear Mrs. Post: We are twin
brides-to-be and will wear satin and
long trains and wells Mt our 4 o'clock
wedding, which Is to be followed by
a reception. We have one brother
who is only IS and he Is to head the
procession. If the other men in the
bridal party wear getaways and
striped trousers what will he wear,
since he is too young for conven-
tional clothes?"
Answer don't think I would fol-
low this plan If we're you, not only
because one person alone at the head
of the procession Is incorrect, but
because the entire wedding party
would find 1t awkward to follow the
pace set by him. This would be q
very hard thing for any one, walking
alone, to do. 1t would be much better
to have him as q regular usher, and
dressed like the ushers. Or, If he Is
fairly tall for his, age, think 1t
would be charming to have him walk
with one of you land your father
with the other. In this case your
brother could wear dark blue suit
with starched white turn-down col
lar, q dark blue-and-whits tie and
white boutonniere.

fully and daintily set with one maid
as with q whole staff of servants.
Insist upon matched sets Of mats,
napkins and centerpieces, and do not
hesitate to criticize any tendency to
sloppineSs or haphazard methods in
arranging the silverware. Service
should be quick, quiet and deft at all
times.
Nov as to what the maid shall
Y wear. am a strong believer In
all white for the general maid, for
all day wear, except on Winter eve
nings, when different uniform may
be donned. The white always looks
well, and is equally practical for the
kitchen, dining room, chamber work
or answering the front door. A gen.
eral maid has little time to spend In
sewing on fussy collars and cuffs, and
In pressing filmy wisps Of aprons that
wrinkle hopelessly after the first five
minutes wearing. The plain, tai
lored white uniform, with short
sleeves and self collar viii stand up
under storm and stress most salts
factorily. A plain white apron, Of
fairly heavy material, edged with rick
rack braid. or something similar. and
without q bib, keeps neat and fresh
for a long time. Give the maid plenty
of these uniforms and aprons, and
she will have no excuse for untidiness.
In the Winter she may wear q colored
or black rayon uniform, with fancy
cuffs and collars and aprons-she may
also wear it, of course, at large parties
In the Summer time.
The general maid should wash all
her own clothes except perhaps, the
uniforms themselves. She should
wash her aprons, and the dish towels,
but is not required to do any other
laundering.
Next time we shall take up the
problem of two servantS-as two
singles, and as q couple.

vidual household problems. write

observations on Matters Encountered in Feminine World
Dorothy Dix Says
Platonic Friendship Is Rare Among
Young Persons.

the woman he loves, or shall stumble
on wasting the best part Of three lives?
A CONSTANT READER.
Answer--Page Solomon. But my
plain and practical light on the sub
ject Is that the wise and moral thing
to do would be to divorce your hus-
band and thus straighten out the
snarl with which fate has entangled
your lives. see no reason why three
people should be miserable keeping up
the convention Of q marriage that is
no real marriage when they might all
be happy II 1t were broken up.
DOROTHY DIX.
NEAR MISS DIX: A very nice young
man likes me and could care
for him except that he has some faults
that are intolerable to me. He has
the absurd notion that compliments
once in while spoil q girl and turn
her head and Is so opposed to hattery
that he harps on the subject inces-
sanity until he becomes a bore. He
is also very fond of teasing and very
sarcastic. How should I act toward
him? BABS.
AnSwer-Give him the air before
you fall in love with him and become
a victim of the hallucination that so
many women have that you can
change q mans nature and that he
will be different after marriage. Moth
ing of the kind happens. A man has
the same faults after marriage as he
had before, only they are more APP
parent because he doesn't try to con-
ceal them.
NEVER forget that it is a mans
disposition that you have to live
with and that your happiness Is going
to depend upon the way he treats
you, not upon his abstract virtues.
Some Of the best men In the world,
so far as high principle goes, are the
worst husbands, while many a rene
gade who is as full of faults and weak
nesses as an egg is of meat makes a
husband who is adorable to live with.
This young man seems to have about
all the faults that would diSqualify him
for being an agreeable life companion.
He never pays compliments, you say.
Well, a wife can no more live without
few compliments than she can with
out sugar. 1t is a husbands compli-
ments. his telling her that she is
still beautiful to him, that she Is
q grand cook and manager, that
she is good company and he enjoys
being with her, that sweetens her
marriage and makes it worth while for
her, no matter now hard she has to
work and how much she has to
economic.
THE people who boast that they
never fiatter any one, who never
say nice things or breathe a word of
appreciation are cold, selfish cyclists,
too stingy even to give away few
kind words, and they are always peo-
pie to avoid. Especially in matrimony.
And your young man is sarcastic
and likes to tease. Again these are
two signs of cruelty and lack of SYM
pathy and tenderness. A sarcastic
husband always makes his wife the
target for speeches that cut like q
knife, because he is afraid to try them
on other people and she is helpless
victim. A husband who loves to tease
is q torturer who enjoys holding his
wife up as a figure of fun for the
ridicule of others. Never marry a sar-
castle man or q teaser unless you feel
that you win enjoy being the stooge at
which he throws knives.

ic friendships "i'lous "es
~ able to come to any conclu-
sion on the matter. Do you believe
that such q relationship ID possible
between men and women?
LUCILLE.
Answer.-Among the young, pla-
tonic friendship is rare. Perhaps i'm
possible. II is seldom that boy and
girl can be closely associated together
without their falling n love or think
ing they are In love.
DUT among older men and women
there are many cases Of q beau
tful and aitruistic friendship that
has In 1t no touch Of romanticim OF
desire. The man and woman find
each other congenial and all the more
interesting because one brings mans
point of view and the other womans
point of view to every subject. The
woman gives the man what he Graves
in sympathy and understanding, and
the woman leans upon the mans
strength and finds soiacc in his pro-
lection. They give zesr to each others
lives. They are the best Of comrades
and companions, but neither one
wants to marry the other.
Very likely while they love each
other as friends, they would hate each
other as husbands and wives. They
realize that they find each other,
little peculiarities amusing, taken ir
small quantities, but II they had II
be fed on them every day they woult
be uncomfortable. Perhaps they eact
lack physical attraction for the other
but that does not interfere with theil
friendship as it would with married
life.
UNDOUBTEDLY platonic friend
ships between mer and women

women working together promott

wear o side part with waves or pun
curs above your forehead to center
