Wise to Be
"Back View

By ELSIE PIERCE.

A RECENT issue of one Of Amer
icas leading fashion magazines
refers to the importance of back views
and goes on to say "the story behind
the Paris collections"
Call it facetious and clever, If you
like. but in all earnestness back views
are the story behind beauty the
very back bone Of beauty. in fact. For,
after all, you see yourself in your mir
ror eyes front. But the rest OF the
world looks behind you. And I can't
help wondering how many women see
themselves as others see them.
AS a wise young blade just out OF
college remarked to me the other day,
How many women would recognize
pictures of themselves, snapped be-
hind their backs?
even some Of the lovely young
things in college," he continued, were
not always perfectly turned out from
the back. In fact, some Of the pretty
maids, some of the time, looked as
though they had played the part OF
the woman sawed in half alive or
something like that. Anyway, the back
view did not seem to belong to the fine
front the girls not only tried but sue
ceeded in putting up"
Whatever your age, the younger
mans observations have a hint OF
truth in them, and are worth needing.
From head to heel If your back view
IS a good one, you're bound to be q
step in front of the rest of them In
the beauty parade. When you have
to make an impression the back view
may decide In favor of or against you.
You can see yourself as others see
YOU. Mirrors come to the rescue, give
YOU eyes behind your head. A sub
stantial-sized hand mirror OF good
quality glass, one that Is frank enough,
mind you, and full-length or better
vet a triple, full-length mirror Is q
fine beauty combine. Study your hair,
make sure the back Is as neat as the
front, study the poise Of your head
and shoulders, study every detail OF
your apparel right down to straight
ness Of stocking seams, condition OF
shoe heels and SO on.

French dressing or some simple green
salad. may be served on extra plates,
or salad "creScentS." After the chow
der session is Overland 1t is apt to be
a long and thorough one-some simple
dessert, such as lemon jelly with green
minted pineapple sauce, would be cool
and refreshing.
That may sound, offhand, like a
very slim dinner-just fruit, soup,
salad and dessert. But II you like
chowder, and have it often in your
home, you know very well that three
helps" are far from unusual-in fact,
four is more nearly the average! Also,
YOU know that chowder Is one OF the
most filling dishes in existence, and
I predict that If you make enough Of
it, your family will need little more
than the meal I have outlined. to
feel entirely we'll fed and satisfied.
THERE are many kinds Of chowder-
all of them good. so We must just
pick a few special" ones to include
today because of restricted space.
And, for the hostess-heres a tip;
if YOU want to start the conversational
ball rolling with a vengeance at your
chowder party-just begin a discus
sion about the merits OF Rhode Island
clam chowder, versus plain clam
chowder, and so on-you won't have
a moments dullness after that, ] can
assure you!

Dorothy Dix Says
First Break Between Husband and Wife
Comes When First Baby Is Born.

boredom and estrangement. where
love is not killed by a dramatic knife
thrust into the heart, but just
perishes of anemia. The tragedy Is
not less bitter because neither the
husband nor the wife knows when
it happened, or where, or why.
I think the reason that so many
marriages have failed is because in
most marriages the wife is all mother
and the husband is all business. The
ones thoughts and interests are all
centered in the nursery. The others
thoughts and interests are all CEN
tered in money making. And so they
go different ways into different worlds
and drift so far apart that they be-
come aliens to each other.
THE first break between a young
husband and wife nearly always
comes when the first baby is born.
Up to that time the husband has
been lord of his wife's life. For him
she has put on her prettiest dresses
and her sweetest smiles. To him she
has given her petting and caresSing.
For him she has made every effort
to be entertaining and amusing, but
with the advent of Junior all this has
changed. Baby is first now, with
husband running bad second. It
is baby who is cooed over and gurgled
over now. It's baby for whom the
house is run; baby who has a mo-
nopoly on mothers time and interest
and conversation.
Many q woman gets so wrapped
up in her children that she never
goes anywhere, never reads any,
thing. never talks about anything
except baby's formulas and little
Johnnie's adenoids, and never shows
her husband the slightest affection.
nor has any apparent interest in him,
except as q provider for her brood,
and thus inevitably she kills her
husbands affection for her by starv-
ing it to death. She forces him to
seek other society because hers has
become so dull and tiresome.
And many q man ceases to be his
wife's fairy prince when he turns
into nothing but drudge. He Is
too busy and tired to take her places
and keep her amused. He reads
nothing but the stock market. When
she realizes that nothing she could
do or say would give him a thrill
that a 5-point rise in Steel would
and that she has married a green
grocery or q dry goods store instead
Of q man, 1t Is no wonder that her
romance goes blooey and Cupid packs
up his duds and departs. The moral
is that II husbands and wives want
to keep in love with each other they
must keep their fences mended as
they 20 along. DOROTHY DIX.

when We already have so many from
which to choose?" That does seem
to be the first thought that comes to
mind when we hear Of new cream;
but this is not Just another" cream,
it is based on an interesting chemical
discovery, the use of colloidal gold.
This valuable ingredient has been
pounced upon eagerly by beauty ex-
perts on account of its amazing power
to rid the skin pores of clogging dirt,
makeup, dead tissue and other i'm
purities that destroy complexion
beauty. 1t has been incorporated in
this latest cream which claims to
tone and invigorate skin cells while
it cleanses!
Of course. you can't see or feel this
gold because it is not a metal-any
more than the iron in spinach is a
metal. In fact. many of the health
giving minerals in fruits and vege-
tables exist in collodial form, similar
to this. What you do see, however,
is a smooth, non-liquefying cream.
rose pink in color, suitable for cleans
ing every type Of skin. Doesn't 1t
sound good?
A similar cream was brought out
about a year ago at rather high
price. This one is equally good and
within the reach of every one.
NOV is the time for all good house
I ' keepers to give heed to the con-
dition of their hands! Even if you
have adequate assistance to do all the
actual work of housecleaning for you,
there come moments when you feel
impelled to take a hand yourself, and
