plain white linen. This also comes
with navy blue trim. which might fit
more appropriately into the nautical
picture. In dusty pink there is a
good-looking pin-striped alpaca with
well-tailored lines. using a navy blue
belt and bow at the neck, that sug-
gests blue felt hat or one of dusty
pink.
If you have the slightest idea that
you will be asked to go out sailing.
you had better be prepared with some
white Stacks and sport shirt. Be
sure to have some sneakers, too, for
skirts and high heels are entirely un-
suitable for sailing and not nearly so
much fun to wear.
For afternoon festivities there is an
adorable wispy pastel pink sheer frock
with pleated lacey frill at neck which
is also used for little sleeves The top
OF the blouse is extended over the
shoulders and two rows of inserted
lace give added interest and lightneSs.
This, of course. is a street-length frock
and lovely for any afternoon party
with -brimmed picture hat, or a
cunning small one for dancing.

thing filmy, fluttery, dainty in texture
and color that will float out in billowy
clouds from dancing feet. For such a
frock white is always a charming
choice, and furthermore is economical,
as it may always be varied by flower
and belt accents in different colors
from time to time.
A fascinating dancing frock that We
have just seen is of white mousSeline
with large floral pattern widely
spaced using soft blue and red violet
tones, very delicate looking over a
white slip. Large puff sleeves and a
very fun skirt that opens part way
down to reveal a fan pleating in the
slip underneath are responsible for
the beauty of this frock, as we'll as the
high neck that ties at the front and
the row of small buttons from slashed
neck opening to the tip of the skirt
slash.
Another junior dance frock is of
white organza with small dots of red.
1t has an intriguing row of silver
stars studded with brilliants on the
shirtwaist closing at the front of the
high round neck. It is very wide at
the shoulders and very full at the hem.
In aqua blue lace and mousseline de
sole is another beauty. This one has
an extra cape with shallow round lace
yoke and lots of fluffy ruffles to widen
1t so that it covers the upper arms at
front and reaches to the waist at the
back. This frock is more slimly fitted
than the others described, but fluffs
out at the bottom with four mousseline
ruffles.
Pale yellow organza is enchanting
with its large cape collar trimmed with
rows of yellow soutach braid, and
voluminous skirt with rows and rows
Of tiny yellow braid that go round and
round, becoming more widely spaced
at the bottom. Then, too, there is the
very summery white brocaded crepe
evening coat with ripple back and
shoulder yoke that is so exactly suited
to accompany any of these frocks.

Dorothy Dix Says
Every Woman Should Cultivate Many
Interests Outside of Her Home.

duties, which she does automatically,
has nothing to keep her from dwell
ing upon her loss and so her thoughts
go their weary round and round until
her grief becomes an obsession.
IT IS because women make their
homes the center of the universe
that they take marriage so badly.
II wife doesn't come up to all her
husbands fondest fancy painted, he
generally shrugs his shoulders and
makes the best of Mary being a good
cook, or a thrifty manager, or what
not, and he takes up golf in a serious
way, or gets so absorbed in making
money that nothing else counts much.
But when husband proves not to be
Prince Charming, wife just sits
down and bemoans her fate, and the
only consolation she gets is in ap-
pealing for pity as a misunderstood
woman who is all soul while her hus-
band is all clod.
And what's nagging except the re-
suit of woman having so little out
side interests that she has nothing to
think about but managing her fam
lily and seeing that it does exactly as
she wants it to do? She has moth
ing to divert her mind from some mis-
q har h1Yc0oy
or from Johnny's diet and Mary's
dates, so she hounds them about them
until they flee from home to get away
from the sound of her voice.
ONE Of the tragic figures in life
is the middle-aged woman whose
children have grown up, got mar
ried and gone about the business of
life for themselves. Generally she
has been so absorbed in her chill
dren that she has lost all touch with
her husband and there is no COM
panionship between them. She has
no interests of her own. No friends.
No occupation when her job of rails
ing family is over. And she is the
loneliest and most forlorn Of all crea-
lures.
Often such women, who have lived
their children's lives so completely
that they have no lives of their own,
break up their homes and go to live
with their children. where they in
variably make trouble. The moral Of
all of which is that every woman
should cultivate as many outside in
terests as possible 1t is good for her
own soul and for her husbands and
children's. DOROTHY DIX.

TINE ideal wife Of tradition has
always been the woman who,
like the snail, carries her
- house on her back. Even to-
day the most opprobrious epithet you
can apply to married woman is to
call her q gadabout.
Somehow the belief has always
persisted that there is some peculiar
virtue in a wife and mother being so
altogether wife and mother that she
Is scarcely human, and that she ac-
quires further merit by having no
interests outside of the four walls of
her home. Nothing is more common
than to hear people speak applaud
ingly Of Mrs. So and So being such a
homebody that she never goes any-
where or does anything except look
after her family. And for women U
boast that since they have married
they have given up all the clubs they
used to belong to; that they have
dropped out of their old social set
and never go to parties; that they
never read anything any more except
the baby book and the cooking recipes
in the newspapers.
OF course, inaSmuch as keeping the
home fires burning and making her
family comfortable is the woman 5
part in the domestic partnership, it
Is obvious that she must necessarily
give most Of her time and attention
to her job. But the theory that she
must let this absorb her to the exclu-
sion Of everything else, that she must
have no interest outside of her home.
no individual life of her own outside
Of her husbands and children's. is
false and misleading propaganda that
is responsible for half of women's
faults and has wrecked innumera5le
women's lives.
THE chief trouble with women is
that they have not enough inter-
ests in life, and that is what makes
them wear the few they have thread
bare. They haven't enough things
to think about and that keeps their
minds in a rut. They haven't enough
things to amuse and divert them and
that makes them melancholy and
lacrimose.
Consider how many Of the weak
neSses of the feminine character are
attributable solely to women's lack of
outside interests. Their lack of philos-
ophy. Their inability to take it.
Their passion for making mountains
out Of molehills. Their threshing over
of old straw.
You see the effect of this narrow
range of interests in women's lives il
lustrated in a thousand WAYS. In
their inability to get over a sorrow,
for instance. When by death a man
loses some one he loves. his heart is
just as much torn with anguish as
woman's, but he has his work that
he is bound to concentrate upon;

smiling face; Thousand things that
take his mind of of his sorrow, and

Of wedding
Ceremonies
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: When a
daughter of one faith marries a
son Of another, and the latter's fam
lily refuses to recognize their marriage
and will of course not be present at
their wedding, would it be considered
in bad taste for this bride to have
a wedding with bridesmaids and
wedding veil? She has always dreamed
of having such a wedding.
Answer-Under the circumstances,
I think a very big and elaborate
wedding would be in very bad taste.
But simple wedding that is entirely
conventional, at which she wears a
brides dress and at which she may
have attendants. would be above
criticism.
Dear Mrs. Post: My husband holds
a high position in a local club, where
it seems best to hold the reception
after our daughters wedding. We
are sending engraved invitations to
our best friends to the church and the
club both, but would lik. to know if
there is not some way we can invite
all club members to the church with
out sending invitations.
Answer-If the club is q small one,
so that all members are your friends,
you could, suppose, post an invita-
tion on the bulletin board. This.
however, would be very informal
thing to do and not approved by
people who are inclined to be conven-
tional. The alternative is, Of course,
to send engraved invitations, or else
notes written by hand, to each family.
Dear Mrs. Post: There are no men
in my family and my fiance Is the
only man in his family. At our
wedding I will walk up to the alter
alone. This means that our mothers
will have to walk out of church alone,
or with sisters Of ours, which be-
lieve is perfectly all right. A cousin
of mine is very emphatically sure
that this would be all wrong.
Answer-The usher always hurry
back after the occasional to escort
the mothers out Of church and as
many other members OF nearest fan1i-
lies as there are ushers. Others in
the front pews simply rise and follow
without waiting for the ushers to
return. Guests back of the ribbons
remain at their seats until those who
were seated in front Of the ribbons
have gone out.
Dear Mrs. Post: Are long white
kid gloves essential for women guests
to wear at q formal evening wedding?
I don't know why my mother has q
feeling that this Is convention.
Answer-Long white kid gloves are
not really necessary any more. Wear
whatever gloves you think look best
with your clothes.
