On Letting
The Little
Things Pass
Married Folk Should
Not Let Them Ruin
Marriage
By VIRGINIA LEE

IN A NEWSPAPER article
recently Frances Rodman quotes a
friend as saying that "only time
and experience teach us to let the
little things pass. Adding, "If
my first husband and I had not
been so young and impetuous-if
we had been wise and far-sighted
enough to determine not to founder
on the reef Of small differences"
This woman has remarked after
her one failure, and is happy be-
cause she has learned that no
small thing matters enough to
change two lives about it,.
Little habits, little differences of
opinion, make small irritations that
may spoil a promising marriage if
two young people are not big
enough to determine that they
won't.
It's amazing the power of little
things-little disagreeable things
especially. Tiny nasty Cracks"
made thoughtlessly will rankle and
hurt when the one who said them
has forgotten" them entirely. In
fact, he may never have realized
that what he said could be taken
for a dirty dig. Haven't Won
had a friend accuse you of saving
something that you were positive
you never said in the world? And
even when you are convinced that
you said it-or something like it
you are sure you didn't mean it in
the way it was taken?
A "WOrd to the Wise"
This is a WORD to the wise" YOU
know. If you're married-whether
you're old or young-resolve not
to let small differences wreck YOUR
marriage. You couldn't make a
better New Years resolve.

this. Then, if they can find any,
body to pay for the license and
preacher, they decide to go ahead
with it.
To call them wedding gifts is a
slight eXaggeration. Better, we
think, is to refer to them as we'd
ding contributions. When you give
one, what you really are doing is
contributing your part of honey
moon castles equipment.
Well, now, we don't mean to be
too cynical or sarcastic. But we
could hardly help ourselves after
hearing about brand new method
of getting contributions for a new
lly-wedded couple.
This couple sent an elaborately-
engraved card to their friends and
relatives, with an inscription some
thing like this:
"Mr. and Mrs. want to an
nounce that their daughter, Mollie,
and her fiance, George finally
got married to each other, on SUCH
and-such date and place. Now we
know that you will want to give
something to make possible a
happy beginning for their matri-
monial venture, and rather than
take a chance that they will re-
ceive too many iridescent ash trays
and such, they are enclosing a card
which you may return with what
ever contribution you want to
make. All money donations will
be put into the general fund and
spent for needed household sup
plies"
The card referred to was one of
those cards which has slots for the
insertion of coins. There were a
sufficient number of slots to per-
nit the return of 85 cents.
It's novel idea, all right. But
we guess we are not modernized
and stfeaml:ned enough to appre-
ciate the overture For this couple
we're going to buy something we
know derned well they can't use.

WE DON'T know, but we sup
pose there was a time when young
couples got married and didn't de-
pend too much on the gifts they
were going to receive, or hoped
they would receive. All we know
is that if there was such a time, it
isn't now.
From our scanty observations, it
seems that nowadays couples make
sure what they will be given as
wedding gifts before they even
plan the trip to the altar. We have
heard them speculate that her par
ents likely would donate them their
furniture, his parents the carpets,
rugs and silver, and some rich
uncle an automobile. Their friends,
they figure, will donate this and

Collars Frame Faces All Done
- i'm L0veLy Fabrics
By LISBETH

YOU'LL undoubtedly
want a new evening dress
for the holiday season,
whether you are a college
girl home for vacation or
a business girl.
There's a wide range of
fabrics from which to
choose-silk, satin, velvet,
and the sheers. Net and
chiffon are both very
smart this season for some
reason. Skirts of net or
chiffon are very full, some
times shirred, and they
certainly do things for a
girl when she's tripping
the light fantastic, wheth-
er the gown she has
chosen is blue-like her
eyes-white, or black,
which makes her white
arms and shoulders look
whittier.
Then there are rich
brocades. And if you
think they will make you
look old and sophisticated
which just isn't done
this year-iust look at this
Stein and Blaine model in
white brocade. Notice the
wide fared skirt, the small
waist, and the Gala lily
collar that frames the
young face so becomingly.
Even the pearl necklace is
dispensed with, or it is
wound around the arm for
a bracelet. At any rate a
bracelet of pearls is the
only jewel the model
wears.
AS the season advances
sleeves disappear. Necks
are simple and shoulders
usually bare. Back decol-
letages are low. White,
black and royal shades
fuchsia, purple, red and
bright blue are fashion
able, and combinations of
colors are also liked.
Taffeta is a favorite ma
terial for formal dresses,
black being especially we'll
liked. One black taffeta
dance frock has a hem
binding in fuchsia velvet.
A sheer black frock has
bands of pink and blue
marquisette outlining the
back decolletage and skirt
hem.
Frocks in satin usually
have simple fared skirts
hot so full as the others

and a close-ftting, simply
styled bodice. Bodices, by
the way, are almost always
close-ftting in these new
formal dresses.

SOME WOULD-BE wit recently
quipped that the woman who
makes herself a feast for the eyes

an odd bit Of philosophy. But, be-

Some women, however, fail to
develop their potentialities for
beauty to the fullest extent; and
the redheaded type is distinctly in
this class!
Why any redhead should consid-
er the color of her hair a handi-
cap, I can't for the life of me i'm

article, red hair can be radiantly
beautiful if it is properly cared for.
But that's not the only problem
that faces the titian-haired lass.

BECAUSE so many study groups
use this column as text material
for discussion, am going to pre-
sent today some condensed state
ments. With all the human prog
~ess there has not been much evi-
dence in human happiness, GER
tainly not in mental health. Year
by year the percentage of neurotic
and insane has gone up. The num-
Der of persons suffering from
known mental and nervous dis
orders equals, approximately, the
number of men and women in our
colleges and universities. At the
present rate 100000 children now
in our schools will have a mental
breakdown during their life.
Lack of poise is popularity de-
scribed as nervousness The
nervous child wastes an enormous
amount of energy in doing what he
tries to do, and is easily disturbed
emotionally.
Good routine habits in infancy
promote mental health; so do early
habits of cooperation. The wise
parent early establishes good rou-
tine habits in the child, trains him
in early adequate restraints, steers
him free of stubbornness and tenn
per tantrums, gives him time for
emotional adjustments, rarely says
no." or don't" ''sit STILL" "be
quiet" don't bother me-"
Entering school often is attend
ed by increased nervousness, as
also are extra enterprises such as
music and fancy dancing. Older
children often are expected to bear
burdens far too heavy for them,
with no time they can call their
own. Every child deserves a few
hours each day for free play and
relaxation.
Excitement, Fatigue, Destroy Poise
Excitement and fatigue, encour-
aged by our modern life, tend to
destroy emotional poise. The child
who needs most sleep often is the
one who gets least of it. Among
the symptoms of nervousness are
night terrors, nail biting, late and
excessive crying, habit spasms,
worries and anxieties. We reduce
these symptoms as we build the
child up physically, cultivate better
habits of routine, and of work and
play, and as we remove needless
annoyance and excitement. The
major problem is the management
of ourselves. Poised children have,
as rule, poised parents.
"Since the great war there has
grown up in the modern school a
mania for speeding. Accordingly
the pupil is expected to work fast.
He is tested by the stop-watch,
and by the stop-watch he is made
to study and recite. He is sup
posed, indeed, to think by the stop
watch. By this piecework system
timid children are exceedingly dis
tressed."

nection between the two. But in
this true little story they seem to
have close relation.
The daughter of family of av-
erage means married the son of
wealthy family not long ago, in
Detroit. On the day of the we'd
ding, the father of the bridegroom
called the young couple aside and
presented the bride with a check
for $4,000.
She was flabbergasted and for a
moment could not say word.
Aren't you going to thank ia

medium gray. These, Of course,
are her favorite colors, although
she also thinks black, enlivened by
a touch of white at the throat, is
very becoming.
All shades of red, even the Deep
est of wines, all purplish blues and
orchids, are foreign to her ward
robe. She considers them jinx col
ors for redheads, and will have no
part of them.
The girl with red hair and a rosy
complexion generally demands col
ors entirely different from those
suited to the redhead with fair,
pale skin. The former must not
stress reds or the like, as they will
overemphasize the floridness of her
coloring. She should stick to cool
greens, cool blues, creamy white,
dusky browns, capucine and ivory.
The other type, however, can
wear the more colorful corals,
pinkish beige, russell, emerald, dull
black, violet, dark and midnight
blues and aquamarine tints, pro-
viding that all these colors are suf-
ficiently subdued not to overwhelm
her own delicate coloring.
