Dorothy Dix Says
Father Is the Forgotten Man.
Nobody Pays Him Tributes.

and his wife's hero Of romance: thu
one who would always be first In her
heart, the one to whom she world
give most OF her thoughts and atten.
ton and caresses and about whose
happiness she would be most solicitous.
Then Junior came and the dream
vanished into thin air. An infants
little pink hand toppled him from his
throne. and from being king Of the
home he became It's humblest seryitor.
All Of his wife's time was given to the
baby and she had none for him. All
OF her tenderness was lavished on
the baby. Fathers pleasure, his COM
fort, his tastes and desires ceased to
be considered. All that mattered was
that the baby should have what he
wanted. His wife even no longer saw
him as a man. He was nothing but
the baby's father.
After that the descent into oblivion
was fast and inevitable. More chill
dren came and their mother became
more and more absorbed in them and
more and more neglectful OF father
and forgetful of him. And as tho
children grew up they and their
mother formed a tight little CLIQUE
that shut father completely out.
Mother taught them to love her best
and to feel that their chief duty was
to her; that she was the one who was
anxious to make them happy and to
give them all they wanted. and that
she was the one who wheedled things
for them out of their father that he
would otherwise have denied them.
4 X
60 THE children came to look upon
father as sort of human cash reg.
lister that mother punched for them to
get them cars and fine clothes and trips
and whatever they wanted It never
occurred to them that father was a
desperately lonely man. starving for
little of the affection and apprecia-
ton that his family never gave him,
and that he wanted nothing else in the
world SO much as for his children to
pal with him and talk freely to him
OF their hopes and plans, and say
something to him besides gimme"
Nor did 1t ever occur to them that
when they looked at their father they
were seeing one of the worlds greatest
heroes and martyrs; a man who offered
up his whole life as sacrifice on the
altar Of his family and who, having
given hostages to fortune, redeemed
them with his life's blood. They
thought it just an eccentricity Of
dads that he toiled like slave and
never took any vacations, and they
laughed among themselves about his
peculiarities in dress, about his wear.
ing his clothes until they were shabby
and having his shoes patched and
never looking smart and well-dressed
and up-to-date as mother and they did.
They never knew that father longed
for good clothes and that he had been
dandy in his youth. They never
knew how many times he went past
the sporting goods shops and gazed
longingly at the fine guns and rods
and dreamed Of green woods and the
swift-flowing streams that his heart
yearned for, but that he would never
see because mother and the children
had to go of to the mountains.
Nobody pays any tributes to father.
He is the forgotten man, but he will
be remembered when the Recording
Angel writes down the names Of those
who have kept the faith and made
the good fight. DOROTHY DIX.

Manners
of the
Moment

WHEN faced with woman whose
conversation bores you no end,
you've simply got to be quick on the
. trigger. Start talking first, talk a
blue streak and don't let her get her
foot on first base.
It's the only sure way to enjoy
yourself with her.
There is, of course, the other tech
nique Of not responding to anything
she says. But you can't be quite sure
OF that. She may not notice it until
you are so buried in boredom that
there's no saving you.
And, Of course, it wouldn't hurt at
all to try to listen for once to what
she is saying. Maybe she isn't so
boring after all. Or maybe you just
haven't hit the subject that struck the
spark. If you work at trying to strike
the spark for awhile you may be sur
prised at the result.
Or maybe you should just let your
self be bored for bit. After all, it's
very restful. JEAN.

In one local shop We discovered .
stunning three-piece suit for cruise
wear in dark blue soft woolen Of
splendid quality. its short collarless
jacket Of rosy coral. The three-quar-
ter swagger topcoat boasted 4 strip
Of coral to outline its tuxedo front
closing. The topcoat was lined with
satin in the same luscious rosy coral.
The same costume is also worked out
in brown and gold.
A very Smart-looking thin ensemble
consists Of a soft golden yellow dress
with wide band Of black through the
midriff, which is belted, and with 1t
comes yellow jacket with tuxedo
revers of black, to be worn with black
accessories.
Clever as can be is little dress to
take along to the South or to wear on
board ship. 1t is q print completely
covered with steamship stickers, max
ing gay motif that is amusing and
colorful and, best of all, Is not 4 bit
expensive. 1t has white upper neck
closing and follows tailored lines. A
new-looking white nubby weave crepe
with bolero uses q quilted design as
trimming that Is stitched in dark red
and further accented with a paisley
scarf and belt. A new evening wrap
for the South is of white ribbed ma
terial in three-quarter length with a
floral design in purply pinks. An ex-
tremely chic coat is Of golden yellow
tweed with tuxedo collar Of white
| wolf.
THE two-color idea for immediate
wear is seen in sports outfits using
those very cozy warm suede vests in
one color over sweater or dress of
another color. These vests, or jenkins,
come in several styles, buttoned or
tipped at the front or at the side.
and the colors are very good, as suede
dyes beautifully. Some Of the Jackets
have knitted sleeves, as shown in the
photograph above, making a complete
blouse.
Looking through the counters of
knitted garments, we found that some
are quite dressy and entirely suitable
for afternoon wear. There is a new
kind OF knitted dress that is soft and
velvety, suggesting chenille. but with
more crush-resistant qualities. 1t is
used for lacey effects in one-piece
dresses with long sleeves and jeweled
clips at the neck.
The Inconsistency Of gold sequins
on cashmere knitted one-piece
dress is far from being as bad as it
sounds. The sequins outline twin
pockets on the blouse and the zippered
front closing. In a lively green, this
is very good indeed. Quantities of
purple reds and purple pinks were
noted among the stocks of knitted
frocks, and those with velvet scarfs
and rhinestone buttons were quite
dressy. This type Of dress is ideally
suited to cruise and travel wear as
1t does not require pressing.
College girls might be interested in
the little Tyrolean felt hats with gay
colored wool embroidery that we saw
last week, and nice selection of
imported French berets in all colors
that were of better fabric than the
usual domestic variety, and had more
OF a French Tilt as we'll as a more
expensive price tag!

to give the nurses anything. Some
people do, Of course, but this Is en-
tirely q personal question depending
upon how each one feels and what she
can AFFORD to do. In your case there
are probably number of nurses who
have been taking care of you from
time to time and it would hardly do to
give something to one and not to all Of
them. But merely as q suggestion,
some one in your family might some
times bring a cake from home or q
box OF candy, which you can offer
them. (2) Certainly you take home
as many OF your flowers as you want
to. In fact, any that arrive the day
you leave, or the evening before, would
be left in their box to keep fresh for
their journey home.
DEAR MRS. POST: Will you please
tell us what Is proper in the fol-
lowing instances. Should a hostess
giving lunch party in hotel keep
on her hat or does she take it of as
though she were at home? Is the
same answer true at an afternoon tea d?
Would both these answers be the
same if, instead Of at the party in
3 hotel, it were given at her club?
Answer-fn hotel the hostess
should keep her hat on. If she were
living in the club she might go down.
stairs with her hat off but she would
be more likely to wear it. II she were
not living in the club, then she would
certainly have her hat on. In her
own house she would wear q hat OF
not as she pleases at lunch. At tea
time. however, q hostess never wears
a hat in her own house. Therefore.
If she has a private room in a hotel
or club-that is. II ,she Is not giving
her tea down in q public room-she
would probably go without her hat.

taSnlOn SlCuaLOn.
We have already had quite good
deal to say previously on the subject
Of the lovely snow-white chiffons, and
the scarlet red nets, but there are
equally lovely gowns in every color,
including the one that you feel is the
most becoming to you. Light blue in
satin or net is good. We found love-
ly old-rose dress with shirred taffeta
bodice and a full skirt of net, just
waiting to be invited to dance. Then
there was that more sophisticated
black net with the black sequin corse-
let belt and lines of sequins sparkling
on the skirt in vertical lines from the
waist. This is such a wearable, prac-
tical frock, and so smart, and is equal
" good North or South. It has two
layers OF net over taffeta and plenty
of swish and swing to the skirt. You
will find it among the better dresses
In a local speciality shop.
Dove grey is much liked for formal
wear, both in chiffon and net. 1t is
used over a self-colored slip or pink
to equally good advantage. One shop
has several lovely gowns Of this type,
including net over shell pink with
a corsage of pale-pink roses, and a
grey chiffon over cerise taffeta, which
gives an effect that's much softer than
the word "cerise" would indicate. A
gray organiza ovel gray has bolero
embroidered in blue and yellow floral
pattern with touches of rose, making
. splendid resort formal"
IF YOU need a new evening wrap
now is the very time to get it, for
some Of the most expensive models
have already been reduced in price.
. Rich and handsome is soft French
blue metal brocade coat with wide
revers and self-collar In the same
breath may be mentioned the brighter
golden lame, with small flower pattern,
and collar of brown fur. There are
white and silver lanes and ever so
fur collars. Among these, sapphire
blue with a shirred waist Is interest
ing.
Concerning the two photographs
shown above, the use Of two or more
colors is noted again and again on
the newest cruise and resort costumes.
There is a marked tendency to break
away from the dark monotones of the
fall ensembles and the brightest spot
on the fashion horizon is this idea of
using at least two contrasting colors
in dresses and suits. It is particularly
evident in the more casual clothes for
the South and in sportswear for the
North. Both linens and woolens favor
this alliance.

W. c. ARNOLD IS HERE FOR MEET
 TERRITORY C. C.
Settle Strike Will Be Ket- chikan's Program at
 Territorial Meet

Judge w. c. Arnold, former Unit ed States Commissioner at Ketchi- kan and prominent Ketchikan at tcrney, arrived in Juneau on the U. s. B. F. boat Crane Saturday night to attend the meeting Janu- ary 15 of the Territorial Chamber of Commerce as a delegate from his town.
 Settle the strike" is the slogan for the program Ketchikan will present to the Territorial Chamber, according to MT. Arnold.
 Because of the strike concern is felt in the fishing center for the fishing industry in the coming sea- son, MT. Arnold said. Ketchikan still has ready to ship, 3,0000O0 pounds of frozen fish; 600 tierces of mild cured fish and 100000 cases of canned salmon.
 Eastern retailers have consumed the canned salmon supply they were able to put in before the strike began and, because of the strike are unable to replenish their stocks. Two million cases of can ned salmon in Seattle await the close of the strike for distribution, MT. Arnold said.
 | When the strike began, dealers l throughout the country had just about enough stock to last until January 1. With the salmon in- dustry's national advertising cam paign increasing the national con- 1 sumption of salmon this would be an exceptionally good year for the packers if the canned salmon in Seattle ready for shipment could reach the market.
 Judge Arnold plans to return to Ketchikan following the meet ing of the Territorial Chamber. Senator N. R. Walker, Represen- tative Harry Race and Frank Lloyd, of the Ketchikan Packing Com pany, are other delegates from |Ketchikan to the Territorial Cham Der meeting.
