Can He
Support the Girl?

Why is it that when a couple
gets going on a real courtshlp
everyone starts to talk about
the fellow and whether he can
support the girl and whether
he will beat her, and so forth?
OF course we all realize that a
pay envelope is necessary when
a new home is established but
so are a lot of things a wife
ought to bring to that home.
It's odd that no one questions
her side of the bargain very
closely.
In the old days, folks did,
because they wanted to know if
a girl could keep house, whether
She could do a good job of
darning. But with the modern
type of living, darning and cook
ing don't seem to be so i'm
portant to the scheme of mar
ried life-at least many girls
think they can get by without
knowing much about these rats.
Physically
It's the Bunk
But letting all the pass, why
do girls look for a man who is
a combination Adonis, saint and
captain of industry?
Are these silly questions? Well,
girls have been known to Smirk,
II am going to learn to cook
when I start keeping housed"
Or, George is so crazy about
me, he doesn't care whether I
can keep house, just so I love
him!"
What if George or Jim or
John should say, Il shall learn
how to make living after I
marry Jane" Or, I'll get my
bearings and be man after I
marry Gwendolyn, her love for
me will make me over"
I can hear all the gals remon-
strate The nerve of you, George
Antheil! 1t is different"
Oh, yes, what is so different
about you that you think you
rate the best in husbands when
you are only second-rate your
self? You are just a greedy
bunch of women out to get what
you can in husba nd S even
though you aren't so hot your
selves.

Dorothy Dix Says
Correct Children's Faults Now
And Save Them Trouble Later.

he got swept away by his own elo-
quence in making speech, he always
said git" because he had said 1t as
a child.
And not long ago I had As q dinner
partner a man who had been honored
all over this country and Europe for
his learning, but he still manipulated
his knife and fork as If they were
agricultural implements, as he had
been permitted to do in his infancy.
MANY people, like your husband,
hold to the optimistic theory that
If you will let children alone they will
outgrow their faults and automatically
turn from being little savages into
polished, elegant men and women Of
the world. Never was there q more
baseless belief. The habits we &C.
quire in childhood stick to US almost
as closely as our own epidermis, and
later on, when we try to rid ourselves
OF them, the process Is almost as pain
ful as being skinned alive.
That is why 1t Is 50 important that
children should be taught good table
manners, to speak correctly and to be
courteous and considerate Of others,
all the little niceties of observances
that we lump under the head Of good
manners, from the very cradle. It
saves them not only from having to
make themselves over, but gives them
an ease and poise that Is a letter Of
introduction wherever they 60.
To do this requires that a mother
should do a certain amount Of what
your husband calls heckling, for tell
ing child once to do a thing makes
no impression upon him. It Is only
after you have told little Johnny 10, 900
times not to talk with his mouth full
to take OH his hat when he comes in
the house, not to use double negatives
and not to mispronounce his words
that you finally turn him into q we'll
hammered little gentleman who speaks
correctly.
But 1t takes line upon line and pre-
cept upon precept and don't" upon
don't to do 1t, and 1t Is what turns
mothers old before their time, unless
the fathers will lend q hand at the lob.

For Fall
Wedding
The Climate Must
Determine This.
Not Custom.
BY EMILY POST.

nEAR MRS. POST: I'm going to be
married early in November and
have been looking around in the stores
for wedding dress ideas. They tell me
that chiffon. which I want to wear
and which I think would be lovely IN
fall colors for my attendants, is not
worn at fall wedding. Do you think
I am foolish to 90 ahead and have
chiffon, regardless of what Is Gus
tomarily worn? Moreover, I note that
you have advised an autumn bride not
to wear summer material.
Answer-I don't think 1t Is q ques-
ton of custom, but Of climate. The
bride who asked about thin materials
lives IN q city on the Great Lakes.
Your letter Is from the South. There
fore chiffon would, OF course, be lovely
at no matter what season of the year.
On a cold early winter day in North
erp State. thin materials look not only
leftover, but poor and sleazy. Just as
heavy winter materials are hot and
stuf1y and unbearable In the South,
or anywhere on a hot day In early
summer.
nEAR MRS. POST: I always feel
lost when concluding a visit and
saying good-by to the hostess If she
asks me to come back soon again.
What should one say In response
to this?
Answer-Say II would love to" or
ayes, will soon." Or II there Is no
reason why she shouldn't go to see
you instead Of you going to see her,
you might say, Il hope you'll come
soon to see me-"

for the first time what q wonderful
grand duchess" feeling you had! A
chaise lounge-all her own-would cost
little more than an overstufied chair.
Teach her as you shop for materials
about the wearing ability Of the differ
ent' fabrics. Impress her with the
Joy of materials that will wash as
against those that must be dry cleaned.
Inform her also of the absolute dainti-
ness necessary in all the fluffy cur
tains, bedspreads and dresser skirt. and
if it is necessary that she launder
them herself find out II that changes
her opinion of their importance In
her life.
Along with the frilly, feminine
things, work In q practical study

to flnd room for q tiny tea table and
encourage her to make hospitality q

things might be important again with
the return Of hoopskirts and ladylike

school she will find that most Of
the crowd sticks to standard things
Of the simplest design, such as desk,
a studio couch and a good lamp, as
they do to twin sweaters and pleated
skirts. But it Is the smart little things
that she will do with color and COM
fort, like the way they tie their scarfs,
that will make all the difference Of
whether she knows about things"
or not. The most ordinary interior
may be transformed at small expense
with q rug, an interesting pair of
draperies, some fine, strong color and
a picture or two. In this instance, she
must express her own personality with
restraint, conditioning it by all the
rules and necessities of the routine
day that she lives, just as a business
woman might do, thoroughly under
standing at the same time the value
of charming background in which
to do her best work.
Your son may still prefer his room
with the walls covered with pennants,
or pictures of his favorite movie
actresses. Try to inoculate him with
the restfulness of plain wall spaces.
For furniture get large table desk
and bed that is slip-covered to look
like couch by day. He may hold
forth with his own friends in peace
and Joy, and you will feel that the
whole house has expanded when sew
eral pairs Of long legs are removed
from your living room. Try draperies
Of wide-striped material in copper,
yellow and brown tones, cover the sofa
in brown fitted cover and the floor
with copper-toned rug. Select
chairs that are wide, deep, low and
sturdy and clear the room Of all but
the necessary things. Comfort, privacy
and congeniality will not exactly tie
him to your apron strings. but you
will see him a little more often and
know who the friends of the future
President will be.
Pleasant surroundings and posses
sions are one Of the most stimulating
helps to ambition and success. An
understanding Of the value of the en-
vironment in which personality de-
velops and the contribution pleasant
surroundings may make in bringing
out the best points of all of us is as
valuable part of the education of
the young man or woman as degree
in science, and possibly contributes
much more to their happiness!

The Old Gardener Soys !:

There is great variety among
the lilies, and some very good
kinds are too small for planting
In the perennial border. They
are more adapted to rock gar
dens, to the beauty of which they
add color and unusual charm.
Probably the so-called coral lily,
lilium tenuifolium, is the best
rock garden variety because it Is
small and yet strong and erect.
The dwarf forms of lilium ele-
gans are larger and q little more
difficult to handle, but look we'll
among strong growing. perennials
in the rock garden, combining
well, for example. with cerastium
tomentosum, which has gray
green foliage. Care must always
be taken, however, to prevent
smothering the bulbs In the rock
garden.

Fifty
Varieties
Acne
Get Professional
Treatment to
Clear Skin.
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

|MoTHERs, or guardians, are too
inclined to shrug indifferently
when the adolescent girl calls atten-
ton to her blemished face. your
skin will clear as you grow older" is
the doubtful hope they give her.
The truth Is some skins will clear
as girls mature, while others will not.
And just in case your daughters
skin is one that will not, why not
take time and consider her proplem? ?
One prominent dermatologist told
me that there are over SO varieties
of facial acne" So you may see that
no one treatment will cure, or aid,
all conditions. Each skin condition
is an individual case and should get
individual attention from derma-
tologist or from physician who knows
something about skin diseases. Not
all do-so shop for your physician
just as you would shop for an authority
In any other field.
Acne, Is the techical name for .
skin disease which Is indicated by a
large number Of pimples-some fes-
tered. It may be caused by a mild
local infection which travels down
the ducts of sebaceous glands or
the roots of tiny facial hair. Or it
may be due to phsical disturbances
such as indigestion, nervous dis
order. faulty diet or chronic fatigue.
Physicians differ as to the causes Of
acne, but the majority Of them work
on the theory that it is usually a
local infection brought to the face
by the hands.
AS I advised, get professional treat
ment If you can afford it. Otherwise
take the child to the nearest skin
clinic for examination.
Where the condition is not grave
this simple treatment might help
Ask your druggist for good medicated
soap and tell him what you want It
for. Wash the face night and morn
ing with the medicated soap and
warm water, never hot. Rinse several
times In chilled water-the colder
the better. If there are no more than
three or four festered pimples, prick
them with disinfected needle point
after washing thoroughly. Pull away
from the pimple to relieve it, do not
squeeze 1t. And Immediately dab
on a diluted solution Of q reliable
antiseptic.
Advise the girl to keep her hands
away from her face to prevent spread
Of the infection, to use no creams,
no makeup (unless speck of pure
powder), to get plenty Of rest (hours
more than she thinks she needs), a
lot Of outdoor exercise and to watch
her diet. All chocolate must be cut
out and that means chocolate sodas
as well as candy bars! She must eat
no rich sauces or desserts and nothing
between meals. Plenty of fruit juices
might help her, and the juice of half
LEMON without sugar In hot water
before breakfast.
A girl suffering with acne must
keep scalp and body meticulously
clean. My leaflet Beauty at Small
Cost" tells you how at home. Send
self-addressed, stamped (3-cent)

letter writing. Now lets move on to
the most important subject Of all
the actual competition Of the letter.
The f1rst suggestion Il: Have your
own stationery, In the color and size
which you like best. People notice your
stationery. 30 make sure its correct.
For maids: The folded, four page size
in white, light green, light blue, laven-
der or tan. For men: The single e-page
club size. White and gray are the
most popular and correct male colors.
Paper and envelopes should match.
Usually at small extra cost. you can
have your name and address, or your
initials, printed on each sheet and
envelope. That's an extra touch which
helps your letters make . good i'm
preston.
It's an ingenious idea to write your
most important letters as some authors
write stories. First compose . rough
draft. Say everything you want to
without worrying about construction,
spelling, and punctuation. Then 60
back and carefully edit the result.
Change and rewrite sentences to gain
the best effect. When necessary, re-
arrange paragraphs for the same
reason. Check spelling, grammar and
punctuation. Then copy the corrected
rough draft. You'll be surprised how
much better and smoother the nm
ished letter will be.
II your Handwriting isn't Of the best
and there's typewriter handy, by all
means use it. Using q typewriter for
personal letters Is becoming correct.
There's nothing to be gained by In
flicting an illegible scrawl on your
friends.
4 + 4 4
nONT make the mistake Of begin
ming the letter with an excuse. II
you haven't written Caroline for
months, 1t won't help your cause much
to I'LL two or three paragraphs with
excuses. Just plunge in and write the
friendliest opening you can. An ex-
cuse often prefaces a dull letter be-
cause the writer has made the worst
possible start.
The letter worth its stamp should
interest the person receiving 1t. That
should be obvious, but too many Of US
cram the pages We write with petty
details-just to I'LL up space.
-Four pages entirely about yourself
won't interest nearly so much as one
page about the person to whom you're
writing, a page Of news. and q few
paragraphs about yourself.
II you are man writing to . maid,
or vice versa, your dates" with others
will hardly be Of interest, and too
much about them will sound as though
you're Dragging, or trying. to arouse
jealousy.
Remember that the recipient Of the
letter is interested in himself, or her
self. So start the letter by discussing
that persons affairs. If you don't
know about them. ask questions. Make
the people to whom you write feel
that their interests are important to
you.
Refer, perhaps. to an amusing situ-
alton which you once shared together
TO q secret in common. or to what
this person did or said on a certain
occasion. It's always pleasant to have
ones opinions and actions remembered
and quoted.
WHEN you write of your own ad-
venture, pick only the high spots.
Events you enjoyed will probably be
Of interest-the local temps match, the

are making the friends that they will
know for many years to come. Right
now is the time that a background
which gives them assurance and ease
Of manner will help to lay the
groundwork for the rest of their
lives. Your 16-year-old daughter may
think she wants her room in stream
lined furniture covered with leopard
skin-or she may have a yen for baby
blue net with many pink rosebuds--
In any case the fact that she is 50
definite in her idea demands your
consideration. It is up to you to
condition her mind with as many new
experiences as possible by visiting at
tractive rooms and seeing all that the
shops can provide
Plan to cooperate with her to make
over the room she has lived In all
her little-girl days to express her first
grown-up ideas. Give her a budget:
no matter how small it may be, make
her keep within 1t, give her as much
freedom as you can, and help her
to purchase the utmost in good taste
and good furnishing with the amount
at her disposal. If she makes mis-
takes, as she will, let her live with
them and find them out for herself,
then give her chance to correct them
at the first opportunity.

YOUR son will appreciate a place
Of his own where he may thrash
out the worlds problems with his
friends without parental interference
It Is quite possible that his vehement
ideas and discussions might seem
much more important to himself and
to you If they were given the same
consideration and privacy that IA
ther's business conference and your
bridge table enjoy. Use the same
thoughtfulness in planning place
for the desk, books, hobbies, reading
lamp and couch Of your 20-year-ol
son that you gave him when he was
z for his blocks and crayons, and
when he was for his electric train
It will not be unusual If you see much
more Of him in the evening and learn
who his friends are.
II son or daughter is leaving home
for boarding school or college little
personal attention to the room that
will be theirs for the next eight
months will be a good investment.
Young people are keenly aware of
their surroundings and respond to
color and attractive environment as
the flowers do to the sun.

edges bound in turquoise bias tape.
Do the walls in primrose yellow paper;
It Is possible to get enough paper
for q whole room for ST. Maybe she
will like to paint her own woodwork
to match the paper, or an older
brother would help. If you can afford
