THE prints are bright and dashing.
One group in fascinating color
combinations has been inspired by the
themes and hues of the Russian ballet
and the models are adaptations Of de-
signs created by some Of the most
noted French houses. These start at
$3.50 and are priced upward.
Some of the incest resort frocks we
found in a group Of pastels and whites,
two Of which are sketched above They
are full of fresh details. such as the
colored lacings and skirt pleating. The
one-piece and jacket frocks are equally
attractive and the colors are delightful
They may be washed or dry cleaned
easily, another point in their favor.
There Is q lovely jacket frock Of
diagonal weave crepe with a sunback
and front panel skirt which is Tapped
over on one side and left unstitched
for about 10 inches, creating a new
position for o slashed opening that is
very good. 1t gives plenty Of freedom
for walking, yet does not separate far
enough to show ones petticoat.
The military idea is carrying over
into resort fashions and shows up in
pastel blue with frog fastening down
the blouse and q good three quarter
straightline coat. Blues appear in
aqua, sky blue and French blue, and
you will find lots Of yellows and
green's. A French blue loosely woven
linen shirtmaker frock has q bright
American beauty scarf collar. We
will see this combination often.
The white linen tailored suit will
have another big season and is being
shown with bright colored linen
blouses, any of which would be suit
able for immediate wear with the
cloth tailleur. One shop is showing
q white gabardine suit with q blouse
Of bright wine red sprinkled with tiny
white stars This three-piece OUTFIT
at $14s5 Is certainly among those
that someone will pick up in o hurry
and not regret it.
NATURAL color linen will be used
quite extensively either plain or
figured. It is found in q frock en-
broidered in dots Of dark red; all four
pockets and round Peter Pan collar
are double, with an underlayer Of dark
red linen used as an outline.
A tricky little orange linen sports
dress has its pocket tightly fastened
with q wooden paddock, by way Of
change. A brand-new idea in beach
wear is an ensemble Of halter. shorts
and hooded cape made Of white fab
ric In q design composed Of the names
Of all your favorite fashion magazines
printed at all sorts Of odd angles just
as II you were looking through q

a moment and one that they made
in good faith. So when q man and
woman find that they cannot live to-
gether in peace and harmony the only
decent thing they can do Is to. part.
No good and moral purpose can be
served by husband and wife dwelling
under the same roof when they have
come to hate each other, when each
brings out all that Is worst in the
others nature, when their hearts are
filled with hate and when they are
murderers in desire, II not in actual
fact, because each is looking forward
to the others death as a release from
a torture almost too great to be borne.
BECAUSE children so need both O
father and mother, and so need
q home to grow up in, many husbands
and wives who have come to dislike
each other feel it a duty to 60 on
living together for the sake of their
children. This would be . fine and
noble thing to do II they had the
strength Of character to bury their

was full Of peace and harmony and in
which the children could grow up In
the atmosphere they need.
But very few men and women have
enough self-control to do this. The
disgruntled husband and wife make
the home place Of perpetual strife.
They quarrel necessarily before the
children and before the children they
accuse each other of the basest crimes.
They appeal to the children for SYM
pathy and to take sides in their feud.
They pull the poor little creatures
apart in their loyalties and make them
utterly miserable.
So, when people talk about keep
ing their homes together for their
children's sake, they do it to no avail
unless they make them q happy home.
Better no home at all, or the two
homes for which my correspondent
longs, than one In which the father

The Rights

Must Be Instilled
in Young.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

EFT DON'T understand 1t. The whole
neighborhood seems to be pick
ing on my children. First 1t Is one
and then another. They can't always
be in the wrong"
what are they doing that annoys
the neighbors?"
20 it's not always the neighbors.
They complain often enough, but 1t
Is the family, too, and the teachers.
II I lived through one whole day
when nobody complained about the
children 1 would think had reached
heaven at last. There goes the tele-
phone now. I'll venture to say that
the children have done something on
their way to school and it's one OF the
neighbors calling"
There were four children in this
family. ranging from 7 to IS. Wher-
ever they went they left trail OF
trouble. Somebody was hurt, some
thing had been broken, somebody was
very angry and demanded that some
body be punished. They quarreled
among themselves, and altogether
made their mothers life miserable.
They are good children. They
don't lie or steal or play hockey; and
they do their lessons, but everybody
a down on them. I wish knew why"
st could tell you few why's" said
Aunt Martha grimly. THE first one
Is the strongest. They think nobody
has any rights but themselves and
that is what makes people hate them"
Martha! How can you?"
I'm telling you the truth. Nobody
else will. Just think minute. Ruth
was practicing and counting. Jimmy
began singing at the top of his lungs.
Ruth begged him to stop. but he
hollered louder. Ruth got no chance.
"Betsey was laying picture puzzle
on her own table. Along came Ruth
and said, Take those things of there.
want to use the table" Betsey didn't
move fast enough, so Ruth tipped the
table mad scattered the puzzle on the
floor and marched off with the table.
Betseys own table.
The Clarks painted their picket
fence, white Harold trailed a stick
along it on his way to school and on
his way back, and when Mrs. Clark
called to him to stop he never let on
he heard her. The Johnsons sowed
grass seed on the new lawn. 1t was
freshly rolled, and Harold raced up
and down it, just for the fun of kick
ing the soft dirt around. I tell you
the children have no respect for
snybody's feelings or rights. That's
what Is the matter. I'm their aunt
and I feel ashamed of them. They
will never have any friends If this
keeps on
1t is pretty bad when children grow
up without that decent regard for the
rights of others. Children are not
born considerate. They must acquire
that characteristic through training
and experience.
Training must begin at home. Con-
sideration for each other will teach
them to have consideration for others
outside the family. There can be no
successful living without cooperation,
and that begins with this essential
duty, a decent regard for the rights
Of others.

turc COMES noDly 10 the rescue, Is
usual With q clear summation Of
the situation they lay before the
housewife budget plan that should
be Of material aid In revising her
dietary schedule for the coming year.
The bureau says that q food budget
should, Of course, be drawn up based
on q diet which Is balanced properly
for nutritive values. But general
budget is difficult to make, for 1t Is
usually family affair, and has to be
suited entirely to the needs of the
particular family for which 1t Is in
tended. The houSekeeper must plan
according to the makeup Of her fam
lily, their habits, their tastes, their
ages, as well as their income. Are
there children, II SO, how many and
how old? Do all members Of the
family eat all Of their meals at home,
or must box lunches be taken into
consideration? How much entertain
ing Is done in the home? All these
things must. necessarily. cause wide
difference in the planned budgets Of
various HOUSEHOLDS.
With all allowance for these knotty
problems. the bureau suggests that
the housekeeper may find 1t wise to
divide her food dollar into five por-
tions-and spend 1t for five different
groups OF foods. For instance:
80 II the family consists of
two adults and two children about
8 and 10 years old. and the amount
Of food money available Is $l2 or $13
pencmeeir-.fe-vould be well to divide
tho food dollar like this:
MIX and cheese-one- fourth or more.
VEGETABLES and fruits-one-fo fourth or
more.
Meats, poultry. fish and eggs-about
one ne-sixth.
Bread and cereals-about one-eighth.
Fats, sugar and accessories-about
one-sixth.
within each Of these five groups
Of foods there will be, Of course, a
good many alternatives and in some
cases choices among food products of
similar food value. In other cases
selection must be wisely made in
order to be sure about food value.
But, for balanced diet, none Of the
groups may be omitted, and no group
is interchangeable with any other
group.
ITO consider the possibilities group
by group:
Milk and Cheese.-For those who
do not drink milk this important food
may be used in soups, sauces, pud-
dings, or in the form OF cheese. Evap-
Grated and dried milk are practically
as nutritious as fresh milk and S
ounces Of cheddar cheese is about
equal to quart of whole milk. For
the family above, fourth Of the food
money for milk and cheese allows a
quart Of milk daily for each child,
q pint for each adult.
"Vegetables.-Generally speaking,
all the vegetables serve similar pur-
poses in the diet, but some Of them,
such as onions and celery, are more
important for flavor than for food
value. Others have special values
for which they should be given q
separate listing, as follows:
Potatoes and sweet potatoes, the
standbys, are, for practical purposes
in q varied diet, interchangeable in
the menu. One or the other may
very well be served every day.

Luncheon
Ideas for
TheHOstess
Light, Simple Menus
Best for Card
Parties.
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

CEVERAL requests have come re-
Gently for menus for very simple
club luncheons TO be served before
the afternoon bridge. 1t Is such a
sensible custom to serve O luncheon
at q regular meal hour instead of re-
freshments at an hour which will be
so near dinner time that appetite Is
lost.
Another good reason for serving
before hand is that most women feel
it necessary to get home before the
children's supper hour and when there
Is distance to be travelled they are
anxious to leave as soon as the game
Is over.
As far as the hostess herself Is con-
cerned, it is usually easier for her to
serve before bridge than after. She
can then play her hand without worry
as to whether the coffee Is boiling over
or the sandwiches drying out.
For . club that Is original In its
idea Of what may be served at lunch
con, the hostess Of the day invited
the eight members to . breakfast
party served at 10 o'clock. She pro-
vided melon as o fruit course and
then served coffee, small baked sau-
sages, creamed potatoes and waffies.
There were plenty Of wafi1es and they
da the dexSert aR well when the
sirup was passed.
Another woman, who had been sent
o Virginia ham from her Southern
home, gave her guests ham and eggs
and hot waffies, with grapefruit as o
starter.
The clever hostess does not feel that
she must follow accepted formulas for
refreshments for her parties. and her
guests always agrse~w4th hsr.

Psychology

Distortion.

THERE'S not q person in the whole
L world who doesn't have his troubles
troubles of some sort. Out OF all
those who have their troubles, small
portion only come to realize that they
themselves are the authors o. many
of their own griefs. The other larger
portion apparently never live long
enough to get the proper perspective
before them.
This situation has q cause some
where in the mechanism Of personality
adjustment. Many theories might be
offered. For the time being, at least.
I would offer the term distortion as
the big reason for all this maladjust-
ment. I mean by distortion the dis
inclination to recognize and to reason
on the basis of facts. Stubbornness
might be another or perhaps even bet
ter descriptive term. At any rate, you
will always find the stubborn man
distorting. sidestepping and belittling
the worth Of those whom he does not
like.
The man who distorts facts lives
with his back to the wall. There
comes o time when. owing to the
pressure of evolving events, he will
quit facing facts altogether. He will
turn his face TO the wall He Ii then
only one step from dissolution.

The members Of this phrase. indi-

can induce my mother to
- leave my father and start
her life anew? She is miserably un-
happy. So is he. And SO are We all.
We children have never had home
because Of the long, endless Quarrels
between our parents that go back to
our earliest recollection.
My father is q fine man, but he
doesn't love my mother and never
has, yet because of some queer sense
Of chivlary he has continued to live
on with her. She won't let him go
because the words divorce" and
separation" mean something common
to her and that would hurt her pride.
So the two live in the same house
and eat at the same table, hating
each other and never speaking. My
brother and never 60 home because
we just can't bear 1t. My father
has offered to support my mother
as he has always done, but she won't

ancient heritage. Thomas Wright
who has so beautifully written 'The
Romance Of the Shoe" proves this
fact when he remarks how women
"immemorially grasped that in walk
ing, rs the eyes are usually directed
downward, the first object that one
sees when approaching anybody is
the foot-consequently they craved
ornament and color"
Thus, the bare brilliantly painted
foot that sets OF the modern beach
and dance sandal Is no new fad
Back in 1900 3. c., the beautiful
Egyptian queen, Hat-shep-set, adorned
her honey-colored feet with oil OF
ami to produce q bewitching effect
with open sandals!
Up until recent times the seldom
seen feminine foot was one of the
sex's greatest assets. Concealed, il
surrounded womankind with much
mystery and glamour. The sight of
. dainty foot and ankle threw the
masculine ranks into great confusion,
for they knew the tantalizing truth
Of the words:
Her feet beneath her petticoat,
Like little mice. stole in and out
As If they feared the light"
(Sir John Sucking, 1609-I641.)
In the three centuries that have
passed since these lines were written
the female foot has Travelled far toward
always-enlarging freedom and has
quite got over fearing anything-light
not excepted. But as it has tripped
daintily to its present conspicuous po-
sition every step has brought greater
beauty Of covering. The longer dresses
that have come back to favor in the
past few years have done their bit in
the battle for shoe style. for, strangely
enough, the longer the skirt the more
Is attention drawn to the foot Of the
wearer.
THE combination of beauty and
utility that is the gift Of science
to the modern shoe has been achieved
only after a long struggle. At the
close Of the Middle Ages shoes were
still made Of soft materials and were
therefore quickly spoiled in bad
weather. 1t was to protect these deli
cate coverings that clogs and pattens
were worn. These we're of different
varieties, one Of the best known being
the chopin, introduced from Italy into
England In the time of Good Queen
Bess. They were anywhere from three
inches to foot above the ground, and

orally required the assistance of
