Manners
of the
Moment

NOV that we've been to the races
we're convinced that at the races
It's all right for a girl to be irrele-
want and even dumb. We have, at
times, argued that girl shouldn't go
to foot ball games and polo matches
II she's going to embarrass her escort
by acting like babe in the woods.
But at the races it's different.
You can 90 the limit on cheering
for the jockey with the lovely pur-
pie shirt, and none will look at you
askance. You can tell your escort
that purple is your lucky color. and
he will regard you with deep respect
If your horse should happen to come
tripping in last instead of first, you
can explain that Saturday is your jinX
day, and your escort will start pick
ing up your handkerchief and offering
to hold your pocketbook BY that
time he will think you're wonderful.
Don't ask us why. It's all mys-
terry to us. But the fact remains that
at the races sportsmen love to have an
irrational girl beside them. It's all
right with us. It's lot easier than
trying to find out what the sport is
all about

Clothes in
Sum m er
Good Taste in Dress
Should Be Taught
by Parents.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THE warm days make clothes an
irritation. The children beg for
relief. They want to wear shorts
bathing suits and whatever other
authorizations OF costume the law and
regulation allow. Mothers are torn
between their dread Of neighborly
criticism and the children's demands.
How little can the children wear and
still stay within the safety margin
OF public approval?
The stay-at-home children have
the best of it. They can shed most
of their garments and enjoy the free
dom of movement and the coolness
that results. The baby can be stripped
and laid on his bed to exercise his
body and enjoy the feel Of the air
flowing over it. 1t is the older chill
dren that get into trouble with hot
weather garments and society's opin-
! ions about them.
Good manners and good taste are
restrictions on desires and feelings
that We could i'll afford to be with
| out. We can live in community
groups only when We observe that
decent regard for the rights and opin-
ions OF others which We have as
cribed to in our national code. The
Children have to learn to limit their
wants and wishes accordingly lest
they be visited by unexpected punish
ment.
Shorts are not the costume for

course girls have the right to wear
them. Equally, of course, mothers Of
half-grown boys have the right to
object to their wearing them in class
rooms where their boys are. The
question is not one Of rights and
good taste. The price for wearing
such a costume, for insisting upon
the right to wear 1t in formal gath
erings, such as school and church,
costs too much. It Is better to wear
cool Summer costume acceptable
to the formal standards OF school
or church and keep the shorts for
recreation time.
grown boys who show a preference
for gym suits, bathing suits that con-
sist Of brief trunks, on occasions that
call for neither gymnastics nor bath
ing. Good taste selects the fitting
costume for the occasion. When boys
and girls of later adolescence insist
upon wearing informal dress on for
NAL occasions one suspects that it is
not just matter of the temperature.
During the warm months young
people who go to beach parties ought
to be careful not to offend the nice

to face a tableful of undressed young
people when the setting is formal as
dining room service can make it. Pic
MICS on the beach are one thing and
dining room service is quite another,
and good manners call for strict oo-
servation OF the difference.
Young people must remember the
feelings of the older people about
them and not offend them by under
dressing even in warm weather. 1t
Is possible to be cool and still be
good-mannered. Good manners, an
other term of common decency, are
more important to young people than
their physical comfort for Vhe few
hours of social obligation.

Dorothy Dix Says
Grit Is Greater Than Money in Making
MARRIAGE a Success
Marriage a Success.

far countries, as their fortunes called:
who pinched and scrimped and shaved
to help them get a start who bucked
them up with their own courage when
they faltered and kept their faith
alive in themselves until it was justi-
fed
Every day we are shocked to hear
that some young couple among our
acqualntances is getting a divorce
for no other reason than that they
could not stand the lower standard
Of living their marriage forced upon
them. Before marriage they were so
much in love they believed that they
could live on bread and cheese and
kisses and be happy if they only had
each other. But when they faced the
actuality of marriage that was
sacrifice of every habit and a cruci-
fiXion of every taste of lifetime they
could not endure it, and their affection
for each other wore out before their
wedding clothes did.
On the other hand, one thing Is
certain, and that is that happiness in
marriage cannot be bought over the
counter and the marriages Of million
aires turn out as badly as those Of
paupers. Perhaps because they are
married oftener for their money than
themselves. Perhaps because they
have more temptations There is no
such aid to virtue as lacking the price.
So in answer to the question OF
how much money should young
couple have to marry on would say:
Just enough to keep the wolf from
the door, provided you are willing
to work together and you feel that
your affection is strong enough to
stand the lack of fingerWaves and
belonging to the country club. The
great American romance is not the
love idyl of girl and boy. II is
the story of fat, middle-aged man
and woman who married on shoe
string and who by their love and
teamwork have turned it into rope
Of matched pearls.

gooseberries, loganberries and thin
bleberries, youngberries and raspber-
ries, elderberries and currants-al are
1ourishing.
New York received its first ship
ment of California's red raspberries
May "a. In the colder parts of the
country where berries haven't yet
begun to form, the canes are filled
with bloom-in vacant lots and
wooded stretches, along the tracks"
as we'll as in home and truck gar
dens. Energetic children by Fall
should have their pig banks filled
with quarters and dimes-money
earned at the cost of torn pinaf fores
and shirts, scratched arms and legs.
Among the berries, quality is indi-
Gated by bright, clean, fresh ap-
pearance, plumpness and solid color.
Over-ripe berries are dull looking and
sometimes leaky. Stains on the con-
tainer are likely to be evidence of this
leaky condition. Molds on berries warn
Of decay. And you can't expect good
flavor from berries which are partly
green or off color.

"0NCE you've purchased box of
berries, it's a good idea to 60
through the lot and carefully pick out
any over-soft or moldy ones. Don t
wash berries until you are ready to
use them, because molds spread more
rapidly in dampness. Put them loosely
into some container in the refrigerator
where the air can circulate freely

The Old Gardener Saws:

Ants have come to be bad pests
In many lawns. There are various
commercial preparations to ex-
terminate them, but good results
are to be obtained by gassing
them with carbon bisulfide from
the drug store or seed store. The
best way to get the fumes Of the
carbon bisulfide into the ant col
onies is to make small holes about
IL inches deep. One tablespoon
full Of the carbon bisulfide is to
be dropped into these holes,
which should then be covered
with soil. The treatment is made
more effective by placing a wet
blanket or piece of sod over the
infested area for about four hours
to confine the gas. Carbon bisul-
fide will drive out the air in the
tunnels occupied by the ants, thus
effecting quick death. One
treatment usually suffices, but an
other may be necessary in about
two weeks. Carbon bisulfide is
highly inflammable and should be
handled and stored with as much
care as gasoline. One should not
smoke and should not inhale the
gas.

Graduating

Cleanliness.

BY ELSIE PIERCE.

I'M ALL Of dither. I've spent a
week end with mother OF three
| charming daughters who, by the
strange coincidence Of being three and
half and four years apart, are to
graduate, this month, from elemen-
| tary, high school and college. respec-
lively. Always happy family. they
are particularly happy because Of
| this.
I've cleaned some hints, first hand,
that I am happy to pass on to other
mothers of graduating daughters.
Our conversation, naturally, dWelt
on the subject of beauty. ventured
that beauty is logical gift for the
| graduate, even Of elementary school,
and the mother agreed In fact, she
| said she has been giving her daughters
gifts Of beauty from the time they
| were born.
I learned that the gifts she re-
ferred to were far more intrinsic,
| more lasting and more meaningful
| than mere packages wrapped in tinsel.
But-let me quote the mother as
| nearly as I can remember:
You know how proud a mother is
OF her baby. how sparklingly clean she
keeps it, how even strangers passing
by will comment on an immaculate
looking carriage and its contents?
"As my girls grew UP, I've tried
| teaching them an appreciation OF
cleanliness as the first step to beauty.
Sparkling cleanliness and trim neat
ness has been imbued in them to such
an extent that very often they are
pointed out as examples to the rest
OF the class. I tried to f1atter their
ego, to make them self-sufdcient. At
2, they scrubbed their own teeth. At
3, with little help in getting to the
ears and back of the neck, they man
aged their own bath 1t may sound
like carrying it a point too far, but
they've had their monogrammed
towels and bath cloths, not necessarily
expensive ones, and soap in different
colors to differentiate the cakes. At
S, they were taught to brush their own
hair, and individual brushes inspired
| the daily workout.
They're not 1usspots,' they don't
primp, but they do have keen ap-
probation Of the Importance of spar
king cleanliness. And every year
Or so there's little addition to the
beauty campaign, by way of keeping
up their interest. For instance, when
the youngest graduates from school,
she will receive new set of brushes
(haircomb and brush, attractive shoe
and clothes brush) a bath soap and
powder . no, she isn't too young
for that. And I'll get her junior
manicure kit-not polish or cuticle
scissors, but one with emery board
oil. orangewood stick, buffer and dry
polish, also hand lotion"

'All of the berries except very acid

ing.
Here's another way to help pre-
vent undue juiciness. Heat the ber-
ries about three minutes, just long
enough to start the flow of juice, then
pour the juice off and thicken it
slightly as soon as it is cool enough.
Then pour the berries back into the
hot tfickened juice and put the mix
ture into the pie crust If fruits are
very acid, use flour for thickening.
Otherwise use cornstarch.
Fruits like the elderberry and
huckleberry need some lemon juice
or vinegar to give them sufficient TART
ness for pie.
"Blackberries make excellent baked
dumplings. Huckleberries and blue
berries are old favorites for mullins
and cakes. Many of the berries are
good in baked or steamed puddings.
Many of the berry family are i'm

some sugar content. Blackberries are
good for vitamin A. Currants, goose

A FOREIGN port of call that Is
steadily growing in popular in
terest is that little coast town OF
Dubrovnik Cor Ragusa), in Yugo-
slavia, now claimed as the garden
spot of the Dalmatian coast. If 1t
was the Duke of Windsor who first
sang its praises so loudly that they
were heard around the world, he was
only one of many pleasure seekers
and beauty loving travellers who have
found this idyllic spot.

are refreshingly cool There are
palm trees, olive. cumquat and almond
trees in abundance Flower beds are

great pink blossoms and no end of
rambler roses.

i L oftener than this and natu-
rally it is one to which no definite
reply can be MADE, because the an
swer depends upon so many different
things.
1t depends upon the strata Of So
ciety to which girl and boy belong.
It depends upon the way in which
they have been accustomed to live.
1t depends upon how much stamina
they have and whether or not they
can take blows on the chin. Most
of all, it depends upon whether the
girls idea OF wife is being help
meet or baby doll, and whether the
boy is worker or sit-downer.
The amount of money that would
seem riches to one young couple would
be grinding poverty to another. A
way of living that would make one
young couple think they were sitting
in the lap OF luxury would be grueling
hardship to another. One girl makes
a wife who literally pushes her hus-
band on to success. Another girl is
wife who is milestone about her
husbands neck that sinks him. One
boy has the grit and courage to fight
his way to the top against every diff
fculty. Another boy throws up his
hands and quits when he meets the
first obstacle in his path.
