possible. There is no disgrace in liv-
ing in simple little house with mex
pensive furnishings unless you your
self are ashamed of 1t. Arrange your
house to be the stage on which you
enact your life: dramatic it enough
to make it "out of the ordinary; ex-
pect the most of it, live up to it and
it will support you just as much as you
have confidence in it.
If you have one lovely piece OF fur

century mahogany secretary or de-
lightful painted peasant chest, or a

nothing gives greater relaxation than

Men Notice
All Flaws
Raising of Beauty
Standards Draws
Their Criticism.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

Occasionally there's q letter
that sobs out its heart. Such
letters must remain anonymous, Of
course. Very often these letters &C.
cuse men Of being cruel and ugly
In their criticism and expectations.
The very men that were all tender
and appreciation, the men who heaped
compliments do an about face ard
become critical of their brides of q
year or two or tent doesn't mat
ter what the anniversary. Surely men
weren't 30 critical when mother was
girl?
Men can be cruel task masters.
Perhaps they are becoming critical.
Perhaps the fault lies partly in the
high standards they see set by other
women. Perhaps all this emphasis on
beauty is tanning the fire of their
criticism.
Men are quick to draw comparisons.
II they weren't so quick to notics
red, rough hands when mother was
girl, wasn't it because all too many
women had rough, red hands. House.
work, her own washing and cooking
and mending were excuse enough
then. But today housework need not
wreck the hands of the bride of q
year or two or ten. True, 1t takes
homework to counteract the effects
OF the housework. But the wise bride
uses hand lotion every time she has
her hands In strong suds, in soap and
water or cleaning fluid of any kind.
AT night she uses rich nourishinR
cream and she wears gloves, she mani
cures her nails or has them mani
cured once week and between mani
cures pushes back the cuticle after
washing the hands, gradually train
ing 1t to a smooth, even rim.
Women generally regard graying
hair and sagging muscles or wrinkles
as signs OF age. But to men there are
other signs of slipping-flaws in per-
sonal daintiness or personal groom
ing, skin coarsening, hollows or lines
or dark circles under the eyes are
subject to criticism. Broadening at
hips is ageing. Men like to point to
the svelte. slim, girlish figures of their
wives. The longer they can go on
boasting "can hardly tell which is
mother and which daughter" the
better they like it; it fatters their
ego and men love that.
Men don't like the exotic In their
own wives. or the extreme; but they
do like to see their wives keep up
instead Of letting down IN their fash
ion sense. They are no longer con-
tent to have quiet, drab little woman
by their side. It's partly our fault.
We've shown them we can do so
much and yet remain so young and
lovely.

Summertime
Hospitality
Returned
BY EMILY POST.

1EAR MRS. POST: While I was
away with the children this sum-
mer, some business associates of my
husband asked him to dinner quite
often. In fact, I have gathered that
they made his summer in town quite
bearable. AS it happens I don't know
any OF these wives and have met very
few OF the men, so seem to be at q
disadvantage in showing my apprecia-
ton for their many kindnesses. will,
however, feel lot better If there is
some way that you can suggest by
which could show them a little hos
pitality. We couldn't ask them to
spend week ends with us during the
summer because we were too far away.
Answer: Invite them to whatever
you can. If your budget happens to be
unusually generous in its allowance
for party giving, then I would suggest
that you ask four at time (making
six with yourselves) to dine and 20 to
the theater. This would be the incest
return you could make. Not only do
people like this invitation almost more
than any other, but it would give you
the best chance of getting to know
them. But if your income is not big
enough for this, you could just as sue
cessfully invite all Of them together
to an informal buffet dinner-or Sum-
day night supper.

DEAR MRS. POST: During q short
vacation this summer stayed at
the house Of friend While there she
was invited out to luncheon and to
play bridge at the house of some one
did not know. Without any explana-
tion or apology, she accepted and left
me at home to amuse myself with only
the dog for company. She, Of course,
saw to it that the ice box was filled
with plenty to eat. At the time I tried
not to feel hurt and must admit that
I had lovely day resting and reading
and enjoying the garden. But since. I
have often wondered whether this Is
the accepted present-day attitude Of
hostess toward guest, and II 1t Is, why
isn't more said about the guests lati-
tude? The puzzling thing Of it all Is
that she prides herself on reading
everything you write and following
your advice to the letter.
Answer: am sorry to have to ac-
cuse myself as much as her, because
since you tell me she follows my book
to the letter, have an unhappy feel
ing that she may have taken descrip-
ton gave Of casual hostess as a
pattern! There are dozens upon
dozens Of pages in my book describing
the virtues and talents expected Of
perfect hostesses and only part Of one
page about q hostess whose description
was certainly not intended to be fol-
lowed unless by an exceptional some
one who likes to run her house like I
hotel, and invites those only who pre-
tee hotels to tho homes oe friends,

Let Silence
Shield All
Children
Making Mistakes
Public Causes
Great Harm.
BY ANGELO PATRI.
DrsCRETIoN can rise to the heights

DISCRETION can rise to the heights
Of virtue when it is put to the
service Of children. No child ever grew
up without making a mistake that
frightened his parents and teachers.
The more active the child the more
certain he is to come to grief. The
adolescent child whose growth makes
him an easy victim to social propri-
cites Is certain to need the sympathy
and understanding of the fathers and
mothers and teachers of the COM
munity. 1t is in this relation that dis
erection becomes the highest expression
Of intelligence.
When child makes mistake keep
1t to yourself. Say as little as possible
to those who are concerned about it
and nothing at all to those who are
not concerned. There is no reason why
Aunt Millie should be called up to
listen to the latest offense son or
daughter has committed. No reason
at all why the family friend should be
told of the difficulty. There is every
reason why they should not be told.
Most people abide by the social code
and the Ten Commandments, in
healthy dread of public opinion. Their
group respects the code and the Com
mandments, and they fear the loss of
the groups respect and admiration far
more than they fear the official law
Of the land. Men live on the respect
and regard their fellows have for them.
They will suffer hardship, make great
sacrifices, to hold that admiration and
regard. It is their rock and their
fortress. Children have an acute sense
of this public regard. 1t is tragic to
feel any loss of it. They are utterly
helpless without it.
Knowing this, the last thing one
should do is to tell Keep the wrong
doing secret if possible. Never make
a public exposure of a child or youth.
Once he feels he has lost the respect
of his community he has no incentive.
no nope, to build on or to go forward
on. Hold fast for him, lend him the
solace of silence in his hour of sor-
row. You don't want to wreck him.
You want to save him. Go about it
discreetly
I am not saying that children are
not to bear the weight of their mis-
takes. They will in any case. I would
have them face the mistake, confess
1t to themselves, if not to us, and set
about making better use of their DOW
ers. I am pleading for the silence that
shields tender young things from the
blight of harsh publicity. It does no
good and 1t works measureless harm.
Newspapers are usually discreet
about Withholding the names of chill
dren who have gotten into trouble.
1t is no longer thought good school
practice to call out offenders before
the assembly and disgrace them pub
licly. 1t remains for the family, rela-
tives and friends to use the same dis
cretion about childish errors.
The records of school children are a
professional secret. No teacher passes
them along as interesting gossip. Home
happenings are family affairs and no
mother makes them public. Discre-
tion is q virtue here.

THEN, suddenly, without warning
or rhyme or reason, mother kicked
up her heels and jumped the fence.
She became the prop and stay Of
beauty shops and the answer to
prayer Of the people with reducing
formulas. She dyed her honest gray
hair; she had her eyebrows plucked;
she painted her face: she bought
clothes too young for her debutant
daughter. She learned to smoke and
to drink; some times she INDUCED
in fiirtations that got her into messes

Cooking Dried Fruits.

The quick cooking Of dried fruits Is
superior to overnight soaking and long
cooking for . number Of reasons. The
fruit has hrmer texture by not being
soaked and has more character. 1t
has q sweeter flavor, as it retains the
sugar in the fruit, rather than giving
1t to the juice. And quick cooking les

Good Grooming for Hands.

When hands become red and
chapped in cold weather, It's usually
careless drying rather than washing
that's to blame Always use a clean,
dry towel because damp one will not
absorb the moisture completely. A
hand lotion rubbed in after washing
helps to keep the skin soft and smooth
but it does not take the place of the
frequent soap and water scrubbing that
hands require as a measure OF good
grooming and good health.

The next time you visit a friend
who has reputation for an attrac-
tive house make a note of your i'm
pressions as you come in to her liv-
ing room. I think there will be some
one thing that draws your eye first;
the little dramatic note that is the
keynote of the whole house. Either a

or an overwhelming effect of lovely
color, or an arrangement with its
focal point some beautiful thing about
which the whole room is designed.
