II the thrifty shopper at the
neckwear counters of the better Wash
ington stores, where cascades OF
foamy lace frills and the hocus-
pocus of crisp pique or crystalline
satin perform absolute magic. Trans
formed by the alchemy of new collar
and cuffs, dependable but boring
wardrobe standby may, presto! be-
come a different and exciting gar
ment.
Fortunately for the shoppers peace
Of mind and pocketbook, the new
neckwear is not so expensive as it
looks. One store, for instance, has a
stunning collection Of the latest close
fitting collars, jabots and vestees
priced at 81.
Prominent in the new showings are
laces, adapted to tailored as well as
dressy clothes and lending a touch
of fresh daintiness to both. Thus a
double frill of Alencon lace, fitted
close to the throat and worn with
matching lace cuffs is feminine enough
to arouse the protective instinct OF
the most matter-of fact male, while
a crisp Buster Brown collar of pique,
topping a saucy jabot of the same
fabric, bordered with a narrow edg-
ing of Valenciennes is sufficiently
tailored for a trim office frock.

this one:

that your meal would be a tremendous

4 4 manner we might define an
ideal as a thing that doesn't exist, but
that we spend lot Of time wondering
what 1t would be like if it only were.
We are never weary, for instance,
of theorizing about the ideal husband,
the ideal wife, the ideal home and the
ideal married couple. Fortunately.
Heaven in its mercy to undeserving
sinners has saved any man from get
ting an ideal wife and protected every
woman from getting an ideal hus-
band, for who could stand perfection
in their mates? And If there is any
ideal home it yet remains an undis-
covered country, but the ideal married
couple has at last been unearthed to
become the eighth wonder of the world.
This amazing find was made by .
foundation, which conducted q ques-
tionnaire that was participated In by
As, 900 persons in all parts OF the
country. 1t was decided that q young
Florida couple exemplified the typical
American ideal married couple and
were entitled to the blue ribbon and
the silver trophy.
RUT interesting as it is to learn OF
the locating of pair of real bona
fide love birds Chat we all feared were
as mythical a species as the dodo or
the phoenix), it Is even more interest,"
ing to learn just what it takes to make
husband and wife an ideal couple.
According to the formula there
should be marriage somewhere In the
twenties, with the husband few years
older than the wife; two or three chill
dren; religious unity of husband and
wife; religious training for children;
husband possessing the character
istics of ambition, devotion. affection
and a good disposition; wife possess
ing the characteristics of neatneSs, de-
votion, affection and loyalty; family
life with active outside social interests:
a home without relatives and in-laws;
good personal appearance of husband
and wife; good meals and an attrac-
tive home; a non-wage-earning wife
and one who doesn't interfere in her
husbands business affairs; reasonable
financial security.
That's all. An amalgamation of all
of the charms and virtues, with good
looks and comfortable income
thrown in for luck. 1t is an inspiring
picture, but gazing upon it you some
how sense why an ideal couple is
classed among our .rarer fauna and
flora.
EOR, alas, few there be among
young husbands who are am
bilious and industrious; who have
sweet and sunny dispositions; who
keep up the love-making after mar
riage; who never let their eyes stray
after the platinum blonds who work
in their Offices and who are content to
be either fireside companions or
gigolos, according as the little woman
prefers to step out or stay put.
Nor Is the world crowded with young
wives who prefer a bungalow apron to
. chiffon; who can cook like a chef
and pinch pennies like miser; who
would rather stay at home and watch
the baby sleep than go to night
club, and who never say to their hus-
bands "I told you so" or stick their
fingers in his pies.

Plenty Of
Sum-, Air
And Sleep
Revealing N O t e d
Opera Stars Beauty
Secret.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

FORTUNATELY for most of us we
can get plenty of sun and air In
the Summer. Sleep, however, is q
"horse of a different color" Most Of
us skimp too shamefully on sleep
during the hot months And with
the heat itself being quite enervating,
and lack OF sleep, is 1t any wonder
that many of us feel as though there
isn't bit of surplus energy left?
Known as the "Garbo of the Met
ropolitan," tall, stately, beautiful.
witty, altogether a normal young girl,
Miss Helen Gleason is in love with
her work and feels she cannot spare
a minute from her Studying-a min
ute. that is, for night life. But she
rides horseback, swinS, plays tennis
| and loves to walk
| Her beauty message to readers:
Try and live as nature intended
simply and sensibly Keep clean in
| side and out. Cultivate your men,
/ tality, personality, poise and charm.
Above all, be tolerant" And for one
who has achieved so much, toler-
ance is indeed a rare virtue, but Miss
| Gleason is the essence Of her own
preachings. She goes on to say:
Help nature instead of trying TO
/ change her"
/ She does help nature. She brushes
| her hair thoroughly with a fine, stiff
brush She uses plenty of pure soap
and water on her skin. Her fair skin
is accented by little rouge and lip
( stick and she has found that mixing
! a dark powder with a white one gives
/ the desired effect. She uses a dark
brown eyeshadow and mascara. For
street wear she prefers any of the
( darker blues. Her blue eyes seem to
become a deeper blue in these dark
hues. For evening her blond hair is
accented in American beauty Or SINH
lar reds, oyster white or any odd
shade of blue.
Soap and water and a fine cold
cream take care Of her complexion
at bedtime And she repeats the
treatment in the morning. A pure
soap mixed with hot oil forms the
weekly shampoo. And her diet is a
very simple one, with no rich gravies,
little Starches and almost no sweets.
And she keeps slender the most
sensible way-by diet ana exercise.

We say children walk we'll by the
age of two. Some do not. Most three
year-old children have good control
of their movements. can run and cllmp
and lump without frequent falls. Some
do not. Most children talk clearly be-
fore they are three years old. There
are some who do not.
Most adoleScent children make the
changes from childish interest to those
of adolescence without much trouble.
Some make them only after strug-
gle, and much later. Most adolescents
put away childish tears and mischief
and longings for affectionate demon

All any good physician or teacher
can do is to study and pass on the
findings as they seem to apply to the
greatest number of children. Always
there are exceptions. not only to the
rule, but in the working of the rule.
Within the accepted plan there are
variations that are startling, and one
must be prepared to help the child
adjust himself, or adjust the process.
And this without prejudice to either.
Diet seems a simple enough matter
until the mother begins to apply the
rules to her flock At once there are
difficulties Certain foods, known to be
good for children in general, do not
agree with certain of the children
There may be intolerance of eggs, or
of certain cereals. The child objects to
eating eggs or cereal. and at once his
conscientious mother is alarmed. He
must eat them. The books say they are
good for him. The specialist says so.
Why can't he be like the other chill
dren and eat what is put before him?
Because he can't. There are hosts
of things. that children can eat and
thrive upon, and if they show deep
rooted distaSte for certain generally ac-
Cepted foods, try some of the others
If the child is up to pound or so ot
the standard weight, don't worry about
the dishes he refuses. Say, Very we'll,
and go on from there. You will not
then strengthen his dislikes by emo
tionalizing them.
Rules for conduct, manners, all dis
cipline, must be scanned with mind
open to the question, How will this
suit my child'S needS?"
Being mother is more difficult
than being a children's specialist.

Dorothy Dix Says
Survey Shows That the Ideal Husband
and Wife Are Practically Extinct.

A NYWAY, this idea Of the ideal
couple doesn't come up to my
ideal. My idea of the ideal couple Is
husband and wife who are good
sports who have taken each other for
better or worse, and who make the
best if it. Each knows the other has
plenty of faults. but they laugh them
off and love them because they are
Johns peculiarities and Mary's little
ways They work and struggle and
achieve together, and they are never
50 near each other as when they are
fighting shoulder to shoulder. And
so they 60 down the years loving,
working, playing, sorrowing, rejoicing
together until each has no life with
out the other.
think the ideal married couple Is
one in which the husband and wife
haven't talked out on their golden
wedding day. They have never got
bored with each other. They have
never got tired OF each other. They
have entertained each other through
the years and found in each other a
sympathetic and amusing and in
teresting companion.
I think the ideal married couple is
one that keeps the love light burning
on the altar through all the trials and
tribulations of life and all the sacri-
fees that are inevitable in marriage.
For it is love alone that makes mar
riage worth while. Whenever you find
husband and wife whose romance
has never dimmed; who have never
even seen that they are not as young
and beautiful as they were on their
wedding day; who are still all In all
to each other. you have found the
ideal married couple.
