Bridesmaid
Problem Is
Answered
Ankle.Length Skirt
Is More Suitable
Than the Short.
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST: A dear friend
has asked me to be her only
attendant at very simple wedding
which she is to have at home. She
is wearing long (ankle length) after
noon dress and q hat with medium
brim. She has readily agreed that
should wear a street-length dress,
which will certainly find more useful
afterward than the longer type. This
Is worrying me, however, because I'm
afraid that she has just been generous
and that shall spoil her wedding by
my shorter dress. Before I buy this
will you tell me what you think
about 1t.
Answer-The longer length would
be more suitable certainly-not SO
much because of its length, as because
OF the street or sports type of dress a
short skirt implies. If it is otherwise
suitable its length is not SO important
as it would be were the bride wearing
white.
DEAR MRS. POST: What kind of
bridesmaids hats do you suggest
as most suitable with long taffeta
dresses? Could hat be chosen that
would be useful afterward? The
wedding will take place in the late
afternoon.
Answer-The hats this autumn are
so unbecoming, as well as crazy, that
the only thing to do, it seems to me, is
to select whichever model handicaps
the good looks of bridesmaids least.

The sad. sad truth is that we can
not carry romantic love over into our
middle age any more than we can the
illusions Of our youth So it is folly
for man to marry in the belief that
any woman can keep stirring his pulses
for so or 40 years. Habit, familiarity,
the slowing down Of his own blood all
preclude that. But, if he has married
woman who has intelligence, strength
and stamina; who has fought the bat
tie shoulder to shoulder with him; who
has given him love and loyalty and
sympathy and understanding, he will
know the reality of happy marriage,
and he will cling closer and closer to
her long after he would have wearied
OF an old thriller and gone in search
of new one.
The thing that counts most in mar
riage, the only thing that can keep
love alive in marriage, is companion
ship. So my advice to any young man
is to pick out for a wife a woman who
interests him and who looks at life
from his point of view. and let the
thrills go hang. They will, anyway.

Gay Costume
For rWinter
Exercise
Protect Your Skin
Against the Wind
And Glaring Sun.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

MAYBE there's some truth in the
saying, He who has-eets.
For she who is healthy and vigorous
enough to indulge in winter sports
gets that much more health Ito say
nothing Of the fun out Of it. And
the winter sport season will soon be
here.
The thrill Of donning skates or
skis, of cutting the ice or sailing into
space! The exhilarating, exciting ex-
perience, the pink glow in ones
cheeks, the sparkle in ones eyes. the
smile on ones lips! Winter sports
are as zestful as that. Indoor rinks
are fine. If you cannot manage to get
your sports outdoors, but the open-air
exercise Is the preferred stock, of
course. Sun sparkling on snow
capped mountain, icy rink surrounded
by evergreens shadows of mauye
and green and purple and black.
And-ths year-exciting, colorful cos
tunes that vie with natures colors ..
green with mauve or fuchsia: beet
root with gray; slate blue and red.
One feels so bright and gay and glad
to be alive.
If the cut and color Of winter sports
costumes help to encourage participa-
tion in the sports themselves, they
serve their purpose well. Some of
the costumes go farther. The ski
outfits, for instance. expose 80 little
OF the body that a minimum Of pro-
lection is necessary.
I'd suggest compiling a special sports
kit, however. A protective body oil or
lotion-softening and soothing to use
after the bath and again before going
outdoors. A greaseless hand lotion is
an absolute necessity and the legs
might get a little lick and promise
with it, too. Another must: Founda-
tion cream or lotion which plays a
double role-protecting the skin
against wind and weather and at the
same time increasing the lasting
qualities Of makeup. These come in
color to match the accompanying
powder. Waterproof rouge, Iipstick
and mascara should be a sports favor
ite. Nails don't show much under
their warm-as-toast mittens or gloves,
but when they do come out in the
open it's nice to have them matching
rouge and lipstick-all one happy
family. Lip pomade, by the way, for
lips that chap easily. And don't for
get the eye lotion-and the eye goggles
(those you wore at the beach last
summer, because sun on snow Is quite
as glaring as sun on sand).

Persistent

Harping on Child's
Faults Results in
Bad Reaction.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

X ATHERINE was long and thin
and awkward and felt her def
ciencies keenly. Her posture was un-
doubtedly bad. To hide herself and
keep down her height, she bent over
and scrooched down until in truth she
might be called miserable looking

upon her and let her have that truth
full In the face with three other girls
present, 1t was more than the child
could bear and she stamped her foot
and shouted, you miserable old thing,
hate you'll" and then rushed off to
hide and cry.
When mother got back from her
shopping trip Aunt Lizzie told how
she had been affronted, and asked
what in the world WAS going to be
done to rescue this girl from COM
plete failure in every respect. Aunt
Lizzie was excited about it. especially
about her own hurt feelings. I've
tried so hard to help that child. done
everything possible for her and that

For a long, glad month Katherine

IAN the business girl afford a fur
coat and should she wear one?
This is a question that comes in for a
lot of discussion each season.
We might say that circumstances
alter cases, but in general if a girl
is fairly sure of keeping her job and
does not have too many demands on
her salary, she can usually manage
a fur coat almost as easily as q cloth
one. OF course, she will choose one
of the less expensive furs, like musk
rat, caracul, mendoza beaver or lapin,
any of which will give good service,
keep her warm on cold winter morn
ings, and serve as an evening wrap as
well. She can stretch out the pay
ments on a budget basis while she is
wearing the coat, and the price, which
can be within 500, will not be too
much Of burden.
All of these coats are now made on
smart lines with modified top-sleeve
fullness, comfortable smallish collars,
and should definitely be Of the swag-
ger or straight, boxy type, in length
shorter than the skirt, as this is the
most comfortable and practical to
wear. Such coat is in keeping with
the all-purpose function that 1t Is to
perform, and when selected with a
thought toward conservatism, viii be
as much in style the second year as
the first, and probably even the third
year will not need any alterations
Even so, the alterations and cleaning
would not cost as much as a new
cloth coat.

RESPONDENT asks

IA
~ Would you advise a man to
~ marry q sensible, domestic
girl who would keep religiously
within the limits Of her budget and
make good working partner, even
though she did not thrill him; or
marry his dream girl, the girl who
sets his pulses racing, the girl he wants
to take out every night, even though
she can't boil water without scorching
1t, and thinks q budget is something
that you manipulate with q can
opener.
Personally" he continues, II be-
lieve q marriage would be much hap
pier where the husband took his wife
in his arms every night and told her
Of his love than one where he sat
across the table and discussed his busi-
ness plans with her and they added
up the savings bank account together
In other words, I don't believe you
can have your cake and eat it, too. Sc
far as a wife Is concerned. I don't
believe true love and congenial COM
panionship can exist at the same
time"
A famous neurologist, most of whose
patients have been run crazy by their
mates, said to me the other day that
he had about come to the conclu-
sion that the only solution Of the
matrimonial problem was for every
man to have two wives and every
woman two husbands. One wife to be
a glamorous Lady Love and the other
a good cook, one husband to be a
Fairy Prince and the other a go-get-
ter and money-maker.
This arrangement would answer my
correspondents question as to whether
1t Is better to use your head or your
heart in picking out q life partner,
as it would enable you to have both
a parlor ornament and a kitchen
utensil. However, there are practical
objections to it that make the plan
unfeasible. For one thing. in these
days of the high cost of loving, wives
are luxury and few men can afford
more than one at time. And, heaven
knows, one husband is hard enough
for a wife to keep her eye on with
out her acquiring astigmatism try
ing to watch two. Hence the polyga-
nous stuff is out.
\
60 THIS brings the matter back to
the original proposition as to
whether it is better to marry ro-
mantically or sensibly. II all mar
riage was based on the short-term
Hollywood plan, would be strong for
the thrills and root for the dream girl.
1t must be a grand and glorious SEN
sation for a man to see heaven in q
womans eyes; to palpitate at her
touch and have chills and hectic fevers
at the very sound of her footsteps.
1t must give man a wonderful kick
to be so much in love that he throws
prudence, caution and common sense
TO the winds along with his stomach
and his pocketbook, and asks only the
privilege Of gazing at his living pic
ture and buying new and expensive
frames for her.
But, alas and alack, marriage is for
the long pull and it seems so much
longer to a man if he gets a yokemate
who can't, or won't. pull her share of
the load. Worse still, thrills are as
evanescent as dew on the grass. A
man loses his ability to palpitate long
before he loses his hair. He no more
grows hot and cold at the sight of his
wife than he gets excited over an ALL
day sucker. Nor when he comes home
tired and hungry at night is he moved
to ask his wife in passionate tones II
