Dorothy Dix Says
Marry the Man You Love-If You Are
Sure He Has Decent Instincts.

whom. for some reason, they cannot
marry, and so they are going to marry
some other man who is wildly in love
with them, but whose very touch
makes their flesh crawl. And, cur
iously enough, these women always
seem to think that they are doing the
poor unloved men favors for which
they should be grateful. They never
appear to realize at all what cruel
thing they are doing.
X n X
THEY are going to take not only
the love of these mems hearts but
also the work of their hands. They
are going to sit down in tdleness and
let these men support them. They
are going to eat their food, wear their
clothes, ride in their cars, take every
thing and give nothing in return. If
that isn't highway robbery, I don't
know what is.
No woman can be a good wife if
she doesn't love her husband. No
woman Is enough of an actress to
deceive her husband as to how she
feels about him when they live to-
gether day after day. When she
shudders away from his caresses and
turns the back of her head for his
kisses, he has the measure of her re-
pugnance, which cuts his vanity to
the quick, and the end of such mar
riage is misery for them both. Don't
marry the man you don't love because
you can't get the one that you do.

DEAR MRS. POST: What is the
difference between an informal
party and one that can be considered
formal?
Answer: The word formal means
exactly the same thing as ceremonial;
in other words, party which follows
conventional ceremonial form. An
informal party can mean every other
kind of delightfully."- spontaneous and
perhaps utterly lavish party, but one
which does not in any sense follow
ceremonial form.
NEAR MRS. POST: A new prin-
cipal will soon take charge of the
private school In which my husband
teaches. He and his wife are moving
here soon and we don't know whether
We may, or should, go to see them.
This professor is very notable per-
son, having written many books, and
We feel rather timid in making any
advances because We are so young
and this is my husbands first position.
Answer: After all, they are coming
as strangers, and you would be very
lacking in courtesy not to welcome
them by calling to see them at once
and at least asking If there is any,
thing that you can do to help them
get settled. Then what you do next
depends upon the attitude they show
to you.
DEAR MRS. POST: My employer
gave an Office associate and me
two tickets for a show. These seats
are not together, however, and
as am married do you think I might
be permitted to take my ticket to the
box Office and exchange it for two less
good ones so that can take my hus-
band?
Answer: Certainly.
DEAR MRS. POST: Quite an argu-
ment has arisen in our family,
which will probably never be settled
unless you step in and arbitrate. VIII
you tell us, when the host carves
fowl at the table, whether he Is sup
posed to ask each one what she, or he,
prefers-light or dark meat-or he
simply serves some Of each kind and
says nothing?
Answer: He should ask each person
at table her, or his, preference and
serve the plates accordingly.

World by the Dutch in the year 1887

famous Clipper Ships, which we're

come a Yankee institution. set sail
in the year 1887. Mote the '37)
In the history of tea these were
years when great, favorable events
took place-and they all end in '37.
But, il they don't impress you con-
slider the Boston Tea Party. 1t was
q great reversal for tea-and It took
place in 1773. (Note the '73 which
Is '37 in reverse.)
United States tea men. who do
business amounting to about l9 billion
cups a year in this country (Which is
enough to make pile of cups and
saucers 10000 miles high) have been
startled by this coincidence of dates
but even more 50 when you add the
fact that there Is actually evidence
that 1887 may be the most important
year in teas history. The facts are
these:
THE United States is already the
worlds second largest importer Of
tea. and, in truth, giant consumer.
But per capita consumption of tea here
is nothing like what 1t might become.
During the past year, however, evi-
dence began to appear that Americans
are turning spontaneously to tea. A
survey Of business houses disclosed a
surprisingly large percentage serving
tea in the afternoon to employees and
executives. Teas popularity with men
appears to be on an upswing. Manufac-
turers in several sections of the coun-
try have been testing tea, served in the
morning, afternoon, or both, as a
means for increasing the effective pro-
duction OF employees and decreasing
breakage. Iced tea, Americas own in
vention, has become an established
custom which has reached the stage
where it has begun to create imitators
abroad. The rise of Winter sports as
a national pastime-especially skiing
has benefited tea and even produced.
another American invention, the ski
ball. "a ski-ball, in case you don't
know, is steaming hot spiced tea served
in a special glass, shaped like a small
mug)
Deeply impressed by all the evi-
dence-including the spooky, haunted
'37s-this reporter saw fit to push the
inquiry further. He went first to a
famous tea cup reader-Rita of the
Gypsy Tea Cup, north Of Times
Square, New York. After explaining
his purpose-to read what 1897 held
for tea-he drank his cup of tea,
turned 1t around three times, concen-

fashions. He shows chalk-striped fan
mel suits in gray or beige for morn
ing, also plain navy blue. The jack
cts are either cardigan type or boleros,
with slightly squared shoulders. With
them are worn shirt waists of natural
linen or colored checked pique. Plaid
woolen dresses with matching gloves
were worn with plain jackets.
A T MAINBOCHER'S prints literally
\ took the place. Every type Of
print was used, from the small-pat-
termed town frocks trimmed with
rows of little buttons of the print or
ruff1es up the skirt to handsome warp
printed taffetas for evening. This
type of gown showed a wide, sweeping
hem and was worn with boa cut from
the print and square-toed buckle Co
lonial pumps of the same print.
Matching printed slippers were worn
with many printed evening gowns.
Not only were prints used for all types
of dresses, but also for belts and
bracelets, being made Of cut-out flow-
ers. Gloves were also made Of the
printed fabrics.
When news arrives about Schiapa-
rellis opening We know there will be
something to talk about. This time
it was a new evening silhouette which
she introduced for the approval or
amusement of the audience. The as
founding thing was the bell-shaped
skirt 10 inches from the floor which
was worn with starched petticoats and
modernized high-heeled ballet slip
pers. This is something that we won't
have to worry about for quite a while,
but it caused q furor of excitement
in the salon.
Schiaparelli's favorite motif this
Spring is the butterfly. She uses it
in all sizes and for countless decora-
tive purposes There are all sizes and
kinds of butterflies appearing in her
new printed materials; she uses but
terflies as trimming and even perches
them on the wrists Of short gloves. On
beachware she showed an attractive

using metal-striped gauze, and con-
tinuing many of her stiff and crinkly
fabrics. Tinted mother-of-pearl was
noted in small flower designs on the
lapelS of evening jackets.
Full-length collarless coats with cir
cular fullness and raglan sleeves with
padded shoulders were shown. The
redingote style was noted in many COL
lections, often with fullness in loose
pleats at either side of the back. Very
tiny, fiat tricornes with wells and mod
ernized poke bonnets with flowers
under the front brims were among the
new millinery contributions.
1t is a little early to get a compre-
hensive digest Of the whole fashion
picture for Spring as presented in the
Paris openings, but this may give you
few suggestions and ideas as to what
is really new and different and who is

Valentines
Enjoyed by
Chill dren
True Spirit of Love
and Affection Should
Be Stressed.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

THERE is a story that tells how
good old man who loved chill
dren used to hang punches of flowers
on the doors Of their homes on a GER
tain Spring morning. That was st.
Valentine, and his loving service to
little children has become our st.
Valentines day.
We have celebrated this day by send
ing pretty cards to those we love. Chill
dren to their mothers, young things to
their sweethearts. The love in the
message is what makes it distinctive.
the love that is between two people
and that is so difficult to express by
any other means than the shy offering
of an anonymous gift of colorful beau
tiful triviality.
This can be a very happy expression
OF little children for their love of COM
panions and friends. Left to the chill
dren, unspoiled by adult interference,
1t stays the lovely innocent thing it
was in the beginning. Too often we
find 1t marred by the selfishness of
adults who have never truly grown up
and who have carried over into ma
turity the unsatisfled longings Of child
hood.
Dear teacher: Please see that these
VOL dol to 70 ,-fn
tomorrow morning. I want her to
get the most valentines of any child
in the room. If you think anybody
else will get more please let me know
and will send some more. Don't
overlook this. Sincerely,
HER MOTHER"
And there were exactly 40 valen-
tines In the package.
That is an act of innocent effection
transformed into selfishness, envy.
greed, falsity. Could mistaken affec-
ton go further astray than that? The
day that might have been made lovely
is made a day of grudging and envy
and jealousy and heartburning, not by
the children, but by those who loved
them. Let's not have that.
Some coarse souled individual
thought that st. Valentines day could
best be celebrated by sending out ugly,
insulting messages attached to vulgar
pictures. Not daring to insult those
he disliked to their faces he took this
way of doing it. st. Valentines day
becomes a day Of humiliation and pain
for some unoffending and helpless peo-
pie. Ugliness takes the place of beauty
and the human spirit is affronted.
Let's have none Of that.
Give the day to the young things.
Let them send their shy greeting Of
affection to each other without inter-
ference from us who have passed the
time when shy greetings filled our
hearts with feeling warm as Spring
sunshine, tender as its blooms, lovely
as its magic. Don't ask too many
questions and don't lay violent hands
upon so tender a thing as youthful
valentine.
There is not so much beauty in the
lives of young people today that we can
afford to lose any opportunity for its
creation and continuance. Let us have
the spirit of old st. Valentine alive in
the land this day. Let us keep 1t for
what 1t was meant to be, shy ex-
preston of tender affection.

trated on tea, and had the following
information pointed out In the tea
leaves:
THERE is a wishbone at the lip OF
the cup. That means the wishes
OF tea will come true.
There are capital rs all over the
cup-actually seven-and money all
over the place. little dots represent
money! Tea can't help but have
big success this year-perhaps the
greatest success in its history.
II don't know why, or what the
connection may be, but see tea IN
connection with theater lobbies and
beauty parlors.
Everything points to success. Look
at the excellent position Of those Ts
around the cup-not only in the i'm
mediate present, but in the future.
I've hardly seen a more hopeful cup
in my entire career"
Feeling as If the planets In their
courses must be whirling toward some
great rendezvous with tea, this re-
porter hurried to one Of the country's
best known astrologers, Mrs. F1orence
Caesar. What did the stars have to
say?
"a STROLOGY," she said, "can take
no account Of dates. such as
2737 B. c., when the Emperor Shen
Nung is supposed to have discovered
tea. That is legend. Besides, his
torical commentators now set Shen
Nung down in the second half Of the
thirteenth century before Christ. His
discovery of tea was probably made
in 1887 B. c., when his reign was
half over.
"At that time astrological condi-
tions were very much as they are
today. Neptune is the planet which
rules liquids and stimulants. Just
at present Neptune is in the sign Of
Virgo which rules herbs-and tea Is
an herb-as well as the digestive tract
so that conditions appear to be
especially favorable for tea. In addi-
ton, there is a trine of Uranus In
Taurus, both ruling food stuffs.
THE world Is now moving out Of
the Piscean Age into the Aquarian
Age which means that Neptune and
the things he rules-such as tea
should come into greater prominence.
In this case tea is doubly indicated
because Neptune also rules China
where tea was originally discovered.
I'm 1773, the year Of the Boston
Tea Party. Neptune moved out Of
Virgo, a favorable sign, into Libra.
which was in direct opposition to
Aries, the sign that rules England"
Quick, doctor! A good strong cup
Of tea.

Vionnet, Worth-all these houses ant
many more with magic names have
shown their collections, and we shall
be hearing about them in one way Oh
another for a long time to come. II
Is headline news for all those who
write and talk fashions. The cable
news coming in every day lately looks
terrifically interesting Let's see if We
can sift out some of the high spots
and give them to you before they are
cold.
The first reports covering the first
week end of February confirmed a
trend toward very feminine and frilly
styling, with nothing dramatic intro
duced. Ardanse showed street-length
dresses with evening decolletage worn
under tailored jackets. designed par
ticularly for dining at the coming Paris
Exposition this Summer. All-over
beading and shirtwaist frocks were
featured for evening with black lace
Jackets.
Amy Blatt showed evening gowns
Of glass yarn, One that she called
duchess of York" was made of alter
mating bands of transparent silvery
and mat white yarn. Another evening
model was entirely of glass fabric.
The next cabled report tells us about
fascinating Nine. Vionnet, who always
gives US something beautiful. Again she
ia exploiting the romantic mood with
Empress Eugene silhouettes, full
skirted, very lovely, contrasted with
slim, high-waisted gowns Of the first
empire. She uses evening wells in
long, draped effects and hoods to add
30 the romantic flavor of her collec-
ton. She continues to use many zinnia
shades.
pATOU offers two new colors for us
l. to admire. One is Rose de
France" q soft, candy pink. and the
other Is q dark linen blue called
"Ombre Bleu," with light pastel ver-
sion, "Bleu Romance" Both of these
blues are frequently combined with
the pink.
A chiffon evening ensemble called
garden OF Allah" Is graceful, hoW-
jng gown Of pink with the dark
blue used as scarf drapery at the
neckline. Patou also showed long
Chantilly lace evening cape worn over
q white silk frock and number Of
afternoon dresses Of the same lace
with pleated skirts.
Molyneux showed an intensely inter-
esting collection and every one is talk
ing about his new "Gaugin pink"
which Is a vivid cyclamen shade. The
color was inspired by Gaugin paint
ing recently purchased by Capt. Molly
neux. We shall be hearing a lot about
Sc. He uses 1t in tailored wooden jack
cts and in sweeping evening coats and
as line Of color by means of seam
ipipings.
