Achieved
By Bride
Through Careful
Choice of Her Co.'S
tune and Makeup.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

EVERY woman owes it to herself,
her friends, her family, to look
her loveliest at all times, but since
this is not possible she should at least
strive to look as lovely as possible as
often as possible. Certainly, when one
is bride one achieves new heights
| of glamour What is it that makes
this new radiance possible? Why
cannot that same splendor be re-
captured often?
In the first place, there is an inner
| happiness and excitement that ac-
counts for the sparkling eyes, the
| flushed or pale cheeks, the outer glow.
| Granted. But let us get down to
earth and study the material reasons
| for greater glamour
The wise bride of today may buy
| minimum of essentials or a maximum
Of luXuries, but in either case she buys
wisely and well and every item Of her
apparel and her household furnish
calculated to idealize her type.
She purchases her hat to f1atter
her type, her features, her face and
her coiffure. Her coiffure in turn
is created individually for her to off,
set any flaws Of feature or facial con-
tour. Optical illusion is achieved by
the clever coiffure artist. On her
wedding day the veil plays much the
same role as the hat in glamourizing
her and her hair style, or rather the
veil and hair-style complement and
compliment each other.
In selecting her bridal costume she
gives special thought to line, to fine
finish, to tailoring. The lines Of the
dress are chosen with an eye to her
| figure, If she is bit on the stout side
straight up and down lines or deep
V lines are called upon to carry the
eye within limits of the width II
| she is underWeight there are padded
shoulders, puffy sleeves, belt lines
and such to lend an illusion of width.
And while on the subject of line.
most brides become buster than usual
Na Ie" weeks Delofe the day) on the
corrective diet to trim down or build
up. Such concentration carried out
more sanely over a longer period
would really bring the figure nearer
its normal.
Still on the subject OF the figure,
what bride does not own at least one
cleverly cut foundation garment that
does wonders IN Strengthening the
spine, giving more perfectly postured
( look? Such foundation should be
IN every wardrobe-bride present, past
or future-year in, year out.

Manners
of the
Moment

WE HAVE boy friend who says
he will never again tell a soul
what his favorite dishes are. He says
that once he told his married sister
that lemon meringue was his favorite
pie, and now every time he has din
ner at her house she forces two pieces
OF lemon meringue down his throat
And he says that once he told a
friends wife that he was crazy about
Boston baked beans, and now she
hands him a plateful of them every
time he puts his face inside the door.
Even at midnight. He says he thinks
the can opener is automatically con-
trolled by the doorbel.
Personally, we think he's Just an
ungrateful wretch. But, neverthe-
less, we've vowed to ourselves that
hereafter We'll ignore all "favorite
dish" remarks, no matter who makes
them. Well consider them momen-
tary flights Of fancy. And we'll feed
people prunes. After all. there's no
sense in frightening people away by
hospitality. JEAN.

Dorothy Dix Says
Mothers Can Ruin the Lives of Children
With Too Much Sympathy.

think now o. two women I knew
who were both poor and who both had
sons who had to go to work while they
were still mere boys. The lads were
OF about equal ability and promise
when they started out, yet one is now
highly successful man at the top
OF the ladder, and the other is an en-
blttered failure at the bottom OF it.
WHY did one succeed while the
other failed? The reason, I
think, was because one boys mother
was always building him up, strength
enlng his character firing his ambi-
tion by telling him how lucky he was
to have a good job, by praising him
for the energy and industry he showed.
by recounting to him the stories of
self-made men who had risen by their
own efforts from obscurity to the
highest places in the land She never
| once let him feel sorry for himself.
She made him feel that he was for
tunate in having an opportunity to
| work.
But the other mother pitied her son
because he couldn't go to college, be-
cause he didn't have a rich father to
give him cars and yachts and polo
ponies and let him spend his time
loaf1ng. She wept over him when he
had to get up early in the morning
and because he had to toll all day, and
she took all the heart and spirit out
OF him and made him feel himself
the victim Of cruel fate that there
was no use in striving against And
he became morose. surly shirker who
did as little as possible and who was
forever losing his job.
The self-pitiers are not only failures
IN life, they are unhappy because they
magnify their sufferings by letting
their thoughts dwell continually upon
them and because they count their
sorrows instead of their blessings.
They are lonely because no one wants
to listen to their tales of woe. Their
only consolation is that they always
blame some one else for their troubles.
and that they have grand time going
on crying jags, drunk on their own
tears. DOROTHY DIX

NE OF the most important
I things that you can teach a
child is to have what Stew
enson called "the brave at
titude toward life" To bring up a
child to be a self-pitier is just as dis
astrous to it as it is to bring it up
dope addict.
Yet millions Of mothers commit this
crime against their children Not in
tentionally, of course. No woman
would be fiend enough to teach her
innocent babe the morphine habit or
to sniff cocaine, but before it is out
of the cradle she will firmly establish
in it the habit of being sorry for
itself, which is just as deadly vice
as taking drugs.
For who are the failures in the
world? Who are the cutters? Who
are the weaklings? Who are the
winners and complainers? Aren't they
always the self-pitiers, the men and
women who have not had the grit
and courage to stand up and take it
on the chin, but who have gone down
after every blow of fate and spent the
balance Of their days nursing their
bruises?
4 ND nine times out of ten these poor,
- useless. spineless creatures, who
are an aff1iction to themselves and to
everybody else, are what they are be-
cause their mothers made them that
way. Mother taught little Johnny to
sit down and howl when things went
wrong by pitying him and poor dar-
linging" him when he fell and bumped
his infantile nose, instead of shaming
him for crying She started Mamie
on the career of being a self elected
martyr when she blamed the teacher
for Mamie's poor marks at school
She turned Tommy into an anarchist
by weeping over him because he
couldn't have an automobile and go to
sWanky school, as millionaires' sons
did.
We write poems about mothers
sympathy, but it has wrecked more
lives than any one thing in the world,
because it Is responsible for most of
the self -pitiers who sit down and cry
over their misfortunes, instead of get
ting up and fighting.
1t is a platitude to say that we get
out of life only what we put into it,
but it is one of the eternal truths that
we cannot lay too much to heart. And
it is what makes it such a terrible
thing for mother to fail to teach her
children to meet the inevitable mis-
fortune that they are bound to en-
counter with high spirit instead Of
depression.
