Assignments in
Cleanliness

One way for busy mothers to cut
down on housework is to encourage
the children to do their share. Boys
as we'll as girls can help with the
details-washing dishes, cleaning
out the tub after bathing, busting
the furniture, tidying up their own
rooms.
Even a small child can help to set
the table and clean of the dishes.
Little joks like putting soiled linens
into the laundry hamper and hang
ing up clean towels in the bathroom
can be made assignments that carry
with them a definite responsibility.
In this way the child naturally
acquires profitable cleanliness hab-
its and gains the confidence he
needs to solve the more complicated
problems of life.

She doesn't make other maidens
want to scratch. Mothers like her,
and she makes dads wish that they
were young again.

"Our wonder woman has poise,
and her manners are unobtrusive
and correct. She doesn't scream
wildly in public and throw her arms
around our neck. She avoids affect
ed mannerisms and ways of speak
ing, and her voice is well-modulated
When she opens her mouth, some
thing Of Importance comes out. In
other words, she's a good conver-
sationaliSt.
"Our marvel maid is feminine, but
no clinging vine. She lets us do
the chasing, refraining from tele-
phoning us on the least excuse and
tricking us into dating her.
"She has the courage of her con-
victions and doesn't do things just
because everybody else supposedly
does them. At the same time, she
is not prude and doesn't try to
force her opinion on others We like
to think of her as being a happy
combination of the fashioned
and the modern.
1.-THE ideal girl has a variety of
interests. She is well-read, probably
has hobby, and enjoys taking part
in school or club affairs. She has
the makings of leader, but never
pushes herself forward at the ex-
pense of other people.
"Of course, she is popular! But
often she uses that popularity as an
armor against too much interest in
one young man. Long after the ro-
mantle attachment has passed, her
young men remain as good friends.
Ten to one she'll marry the right
man some day, at the right time
making him a four-star wife.
"All this goes to prove that if you
want to qualify as our ideal maid,
you've got to have more than a baby
stare and hair that the poets love
to write about. You've got to be
more than a dressmaker's model or
a photographers dream.
you've got to be human, because
goddesses on pedestals aren't much
fun. They can't get around.
Now that you have our ideas and
our ideal, let's have yours And do
take what we've written seriously
We have been describing the girl
whom, some day, we want to marry. -
Datingly yours,

A Confusing
Problem
Solved
Proper Wording of
A Secret Wedding
Announcement
instances.
By EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Our marriage took
place almost six months ago and.
without going into the reasons, we
thought it better to keep the occa-
sion a secret. But now we would
like to announce our marriage and
would like to send out wedding an
nOuncements. There is just one
point that we wish we knew how to
overcome. I went to college across
the continent. which is where I met
my wife. We were married half way
between her home and mine. On the
regular wedding announcements there
ordinarily seems to be no mention
of where the brides family lives
other than the mention of the town
in which the marriage took place,
and in our case, of course, they are
not one and the same. And yet,
we would like to include information
as to where my bride was from
because I feel sure that it would be
of interest to many of my friends.
Answer-Since there is always an
excuse for something which has
real purpose, you could have en-
graved in very small letters under
her name:
Miss Priscilla Gray,
daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Gray
of Spokane, Washington,
and
Mr.. Stephen Henry Jones,
son of DR.. William Jones
of Hartford, Connecticut,
announce their marriage,
ETC.
This wording is not conventional,
but have known of occasions when
these or other explanatory insertions
have been made. Or would it not be
equally satisfactory to word the
announcements as follows:
Miss Priscilla Gray
Mr.. Stephen Henry Jones
announce their marriage
on such and such a date
And then at the bottom put Spok-
ane, Wash, which would supposedly
anounce that the wedding took place
there. It does not say that it did,
but it does indicate that the an
nouncements were sent out from the
home of the brides parents. Al
though it would be less confusing
to send all the announcements to
Spokane to be postmarked there,
they could be sent out, if more con-
venient, from wherever the bride is
living.

Dorothy Dix Says
Change Duties With Wife to Get
True Perspective of Her Job

VI l. MI - w 1
And I don't think I will ever be
told again what poor manager I
am. MRS. P. S. S.
Answer-The old saying that "one-
half of the world doesn't know how
the other half lives" is never truer
than it is of husbands and wives.
Nothing would do more to promote
domestic harmony than for them to
be able to change places every now
and then and find out by actual
experience the difficulties with which
each has to contend.
The husband pictures the wife
idling around the house. reading
the paper or listening to the radio,
or gossiping with a neighbor. while
the children act like perfect angels,
and floors get automatically swept
and beds made, and delicious meals
appear magically on the table. The
wife pictures the husband as spend
ing his days as sort of perpetual
H1ClllC dC ploSCS WliCiC tAACAC Id
always something exciting happen
ing.
But one day Of doing his wife's
work and wrestling with pots and
pans. crying babies and fighting
children would make any man look
upon his wife as a marvel of eff
cheney and endurance. One day Of
being badgered by cantankerous
boss, dealing with cranky customers
and wondering how a note in the
bank is going to be met would make
any woman understand why a hus-
bands overtaxed nerves give way
sometimes at home; why he wants
to doze in peace behind his paper
of an evening instead of carrying
on a brilliant conversation.

we'll he had managed, adding: "Of
course, Sunday is light day, no
cleaning, washing or ironing to do,
but this has worked out so well,
how about doing it every other Sum

him. He threw up his hands, and
said: Il don't know how you do it.

"Our Ideal Maid doesn't have to

"She remembers that she is our

"She has a sense Of humor, to be

know we're not that good.
"She dances we'll and plays games

cious selection, careful workmanship
and an understanding of each indi-
vidual problem make our rooms both
attractive and comfortable.
If the interior of the house is Wis
1ble from the street we curtain the
windows for privacy. If 1t is not we
drape them to soften the harsh wood
or metal frames, and to lend note
of color and luxury to the room. In
any event, we must have draperies,
and whether they are made of old
red flannel underwear, faded to
rosey hue and embroidered with wool
in an adobe house In New Mexico, or
of exquisite brocaded satin. lined
and interlined and held back by
jeweled knobs in an 18th century
mansion, the first need and the last
result are the same.
The first move is to look over your
rooms for proportion. If the ceiling
is high and the windows huge and
you wish to reduce the proportions
to more intimate terms there are
many little tricks that will help
break the height and width. A full
valance slightly longer than usual
will help, full drapery caught back
at the halfway mark cuts the win
dow in two. Horizontal striped ma
terial pulls the window down bit
and glass curtains which stop at the
sill shorten height.
II the room is low ceilinged and
has dumpy windows you may do
the opposite by carrying the dra-
perry in a straight line from ceiling
to floor. Up-and-down stripes, tas-
sells and any other device that
gives an open airy effect will help.
Try putting your awkward windows
down on paper, drawn to scale,
and see what you can do to i'm
prove them as you try many
sketches.
Tho shops keep up with the
times by Offering curtains made up
in the newest shades and materials.
These must, of necessity, suit the
largest number of people and win
dows and consequently are not un-
usual in design. If you like to sew.
making draperies is lots of fun and
aside from patience and precision
takes only the materials and sew
ing machine.
Measure your windows carefully
and II your selection is in patterned
material be sure to buy enough so
that the design may be matched
and placed properly. Most dra-
peries must be lined. The only ex-
eeption to this rule are heavy
fabrics like monkscloth which are
bound all the way around, or the
very sheer celanese, or the wash
able dimities. Lining makes the
curtains hang properly, protects the
fabric from sun scorch and fading
and from wear and soil. Draperies
that are properly lined and hung
Immediately take on sleek pro-
fessional appearance.
After measuring your windows
amply, pull thread or two across
the width of your material to in
sure q straight cutting line Baste
and stitch the lining to the ma
terial on the two long side seams.
Turn and press carefully. Buck
