A/0O7-B
BY BARBARA BELL,

THERE seems to be no end to
the popularity of the shirt
waist dress. All Summer its
supremacy over practically
every other fashion has been estab-
lished by smart women. You'd think
it might be time for it to retire into
the oblivion of yesterdays modes.
But, no! With renewed vigor it will
carry on all through the Winter, chic,
practical and becoming-and you
can't ask more than that.
For early Fall printed satin and the
cravat silks will be good, and cool
enough for those sultry DAYS that
come Just before the cold weather sets
in. Then jersey and wool crepe and
fine flannel. Velveteen will be ter
ribly important, gray. green, the shade
of fresh almonds, burgandy and all
the rich stained-glass shades. Later,
shirtwaist frocks will appear in vel
vet for formal afternoon wear.
This Is an attractive dress from the
standpoint of cut and detail. The
yoke is almost non-existant in front,
but grows little bolder at the back
of the blouse. The top of the sleeve
is cut in one with it, and the blouse
is gathered into in, both in back and
front. Pretty important-that yoke!
Then there is tiny, close fitting COL
lar and tie and tailored piece set
on the front of the blouse for its
closing. The skirt has a wide panel
in back, the front being quite simple
and unadorned. It is an easy frock

Must Work
Diligently
For Beauty
Fixed Program Gives
What Nature Failed
to Accomplish.
BY LOIS LEEDS.

IT Is so easy TO neglect beauty de-
tails when you are especially busy,
tired or hot. But II you allow this
neglect to become habitual you may
as well give up the pursuit Of beauty.
Beauty care is really a 24-hour Job,
including an 8-hour beauty treat
ment in the form Of restful sleep and
three meals planned to keep your
health, complexion and figure in the
pink Of condition. other details of
beauty care must keep their regular
appointed time.
The beauty of the modern we'll
groomed girl does not grow like
Wildflower. II is more like cultivated
rose or lily that demands regular
care to bring it TO perfection. We all
are more or less handicapped in the
pursuit Of personal beauty by the
conditions of modern civiliza ton, but
1t has brought its cure with 1t In the
form of more scientific knowledge as
to the needs Of the body and also
marvellous array of external beauty
aids. Armed with these two. practi-
cally any girl can make herself look
attractive. But it is real work to keep
or build ones beauty and it is no job
for the indolent.
II you want to make the most of
your good looks. do as all stage and
screen players do. Build up a beauty
program suited 10 your individual
needs and stick to it. Your beauty is
just as important TO you as theirs is
! to them.
/ A certain amount Of experimenta-
ton with different methods and cos
metics is unavoidable, but don't fy
/ from one to another without giving
/ fair trial TO any Whatever your aim
I in life may be, good health and good
looks will help YOU along so that the
time and thought you give them are
well worth while.
/ Don't confne your beauty rites 10

II you want real and lasting beauty.
( Cultivate the vitality and poise that
/ come from radiant health and an
active mind. The girls who succeed at
Hollywood are not any prettier than
many thousands Of other American
girls. but they have an extra some

Unable. They have produced a very
novel effect with perforations on these
gloves by having line Of small dots

it to continue up TO the finger tip.
This occurs on each finger, except
the thumb. so that there are four
lines of perforaticns extending up
onto the fingers. In the palm of the
hand the same idea is carried out
on a smaller scale. These gloves
come in white and natural and sell
for S295. They will be very smart
with Autumn sports clothes.
Suede and antelope bags are being

Many gathered effects are noted
in the softer feathers. and talon
fasteners for the money compart-
ments are quite general. Rows of
stitching and clever ornamental clip
fasteners decorate the suede bags.
Bag shapes vary tremendously, so
that you can get just about what suits
your individual preference and you
may have prystal bar top, a metallic

HOMEGROWN
Patterns in
Child's Life
Imitation Is Reason
for Making Right
Background.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

CHILDREN learn all they know
about the world through their
senses. They see, hear. taste. smell,
feel life. and so begin to learn what
Is going on But after that they
must do something about the things
they learn. and doing is different
from learning. 1t requires different
technique. You have to organize
your body and mine and center them
on an idea and do something.
Actions have to be learned. They
do not come fully grown. Hands
are fumbling, awkward things, and
so are legs and arms and feet. They
have to be trained. by their possessoI.
through long and trying stages until
they arrive at power. This means
children have to struggle to learn
to do the simplest things, and they
have to be shown how to do them
by some one who knows how.
There is a short cut to this teach
ing and learning, The children ini-
tate what they see other folks do.
They initiate the motions and gestures,
and so learn to make them. That is
why it is important to set them the
best possible example in every way.
Manners are copied. Ways of work.
ing Of doing things. of living are
initiated by the children.
Children come in close contact with
others beyond home. They must play
with children their own age This
is natures way of teaching them to
adjust themselves to others, to live
harmoniously among their fellows.
They give certain impulses to other
children and receive from them in
return. Each initiates the other.
The most dramatic gesture is the
one they learn first. The word that
is shouted Is learned before the one
that is said in ordinary tones. The
unusual word or action is noted ami
copied. Again nature Is teaching
the child to expand his horizons by
taking in the experiences of the
others. If the companions are in
telligent and healthy these lessons,
copies Of others behavior. help. If
they are uncouth, ignorant children.
this learning is loss, tax on the
child's future.
All children learn to say dramatic
words. to repeat colorful phrases, to
try strange mannerisms like lisping.
making faces, performing strange an
tics for applause. All these are fluff
that is soon blown away. If nothing
more serious shows up one can afford
to pass these by.
The thing is to try to provide good
patterns for the children to initiate;
at home first, then at school and on
the playground. 1t is no easy matter.
One cannot sterilize life. There must
be certain acceptance of folkways, of
community opinion and custom. but
there remains the bulwark of home
and family tradition.
Children initiate the ways Of others,
but they hold fast to the ways of
home. Home is strongest always. The
speech, manners, principles. customs
of the family become those of the
children. Let them be good.

~ ONE sentimental old bachelor or
Y old maid must have dubbed the
first year of marriage the
~ honeymoon Anyway, some
amateur must have done it. No one
with experience could have been guilty
of such a misnomer, for every man
and woman who has ever been
through it knows that it is time OF
storm and strife and in which the
bride puts on her hat hundred times
to go back to mother, and the bride
groom is perpetually wondering how
he could have been sap enough to
have ever let himself be dragged to the
altar.
Hard as the honeymoon Is on the
young husband. it Is harder still on the
young wife. For he has not, for one
thing. fallen so completely for all the
hooey about marriage being state OF
perpetual bliss as she has, and, for
another thing, he has his work to take
his mind off his troubles. But she has
nothing to do but pick flaws in her
bargain and wonder whatever made
her choose him. The theme song of
most brides during the honeymoon
would be the old ditty: Il Had a Good
Home-or-Job-and I Left It."
OF COURSE, In time, most married
~ couples do adjust themselves to
each other and learn how to keep of
each others toes and to gumshoe
around the angles In each others dis
positions. They even find out that
marriage has more compensations than
drawbacks and is worth its price, but
no one will deny that the art of liv-
ing in reasonable peace with husband
and wife is an accomplishment that is
acquired by means of many a hard
knock and bruised places in ones feel
ings.
ut has taken us 40 years to acquire
this perfect understanding you ad-
mire so much" said a happily married
couple in one of Mr.. Howells novels.
And probably 1t does take that long
for the average man and woman to
work out the jigsaw puzzle to which
they are married.
Yet, paradoxically enough, 1t is dur
Ing the first year of marriage that they
most need the philosophy, the sense
of values, and the sense Of humor that
1t takes them to their golden wedding
day to achieve.
NOV, so far as the bride is con-
cerned, there are four unsus-
pected perils for her in the honey
moon, and If she manages to get by
these safely she Is pretty sure to have
her marriage end in the story-book
fashion Of land they lived happily
ever afterward"
The first of these Is the inevitable
disillusion. The settling down to the
business OF real life. The shock of dis
covering that she is married to mere
man instead Of q movie hero. The In

and swings, or waded, unrebuked, In
the cool rushing water. They were not
getting on their parents nerves. nor
were the parents getting on theirs.
Mothers sat calmly in the midst OF
the picnic debris, knowing that many
more lazy hours would pass before the
actual picking up and packing things
away became necessary. and that in
the meantime a bit Of laziness was de-
lightfully permissible. Even fancy
work or reading seemed too much ef-
fort-paradise lay in lust settin'" as
my old nurse used to say.
COME fathers were amusing them
- selves in repeating their youthful
exploits while playing with the older
children. In one place. in spite Of the
heat, an animated ball game was in
progress, with stout papa puffingly
making a home run. His Offspring
cheered him on to victory, in a most
heartening manner. Another SPORT
ively-inclined gentleman was busily
engaged in teaching his small daugh-
ter the mysteries Of mumblety-peg,
and still another was playing tag with
his sons in very lively fashion.
For the most part, however, the
fathers lay prone on the grass. with or
without newspaper-over-face, and
dozed or day-dreamed. The nervous
tension of the working hours, under
the blue sky and ereenA branches,
sloughed off their minds like snake S
last years skin. and although, natur-
ally, worries must have been present,
l 90 not believe that they assumed
such insurmountable proportions at
that moment as they did most of the
time.
IN ANY event. the entire scene was
one Of content, and relaxation. 1t
evidently was a regular family Sun
day custom with many of the groups,
for their equipment was efficient and
to the point to a remarkable degree.

Questions
That Arise
At Wedding
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: Will you out
line briefly what restrictions
bride in a family in mourning should
observe to make a wedding seem
suitable at alp"
Answer.-If she invited only the
nearest relatives and friends of both
families verbally or by note and. as
well. kept all the other details equally
simple. her wedding would be entirely
suitable. even if the fanny is in deep
mourning.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is there any way
in which to request on the engraved
church invita- ton that no gifts be
sent? I would like to send invita-
tions to many less intimate friends
who must not feel they ought TO
send anything"
Answer-An engraved invitation to
the church, only, never requires that
wedding present be sent, or even
that a note of acceptance or regret
be written. An invitation to the
reception does require an answer and
suggest a present, but this last is
not necessary unless the bride or the
bridegroom is relative or an inti-
mate friend.
Dear Mrs. Post; I am to be mar
ried in day clothes and my attendant
is dressing similarly. With these
clothes we will pin on corsages rather
than carry bouquets. but what can
we do to avoid looking awkward with
empty hands?"
Answer-Carry wrist bags, which
go with your clothes, and during
the marriage service hand yours to
your maid of honor, who holds it
for you.
Dear Mrs. Post: My fiance's Office
associates presented him with a we'd
ding present at the office, with no
mention of me on the card at all.
Was this exactly polite to me?"
Answer-Although the general rule
Is that wedding presents should be
sent to the bride, under exceptional
circumstances, such as the one you
mention, it is not at all improper
that an especial present be given to
the bridegroom.

reductions. These things always work
out nicely because some people still
need a fresh white bag or gloves to
finish out the season. while others
are eager for a new dark bag and

Green and burgundy will take their

the same beaded edging, both included
in the price of So.

Vegetables
And Fruits
BY EDITH NJ. BARBER.

ITS the fashion nowadays, and a
very good fashion, to stress the
use Of fruits and vegetables In the
diet. because Of their minerals and
vitamins. Important as these are
what would We do without bread? We
use it nowadays because We like it,
but when We eat it We are supplying
ourselves with valuable nourishment
While we think of bread ordinarily
as energy" food, it supplies us with
a worthwhile amount of protein for
muscle building. AS almost all bread
is made with milk. We get additional
value from it. Bread is one Of our
most inexpensive foods.
Although most bread is used With
butter as an accessory with meals,
all leftover bread should be put to
good use in combination with other
materials. There is no reason for
wasting even a crumb of this excellent
food.

Heat one tablespoon Of olive oil
and add the Glove of garlic or three
slices of onion. In this cook the
diced bread until light brown. Re-

with lettuce or watercress.
VEGETABLES WITH CRUMBS.
