Beginning 10Th Century Uhered the Dark Ages Furniture Making
Dorothy Dix Says
The Perfect Woman Is Paragon
That Is Really Non.existent.

It is the love of ruling that Is born
in them and any girl who runs her
father and mother and sisters and
brothers will make her husband say
yes ma'am to her.
The girl without temper may not
be emotional, but she is mighty COM
Portable to live with. Wives who make
scenes do not promote domestic peace
and harmony.
And SO on and so forth. But, as
you say, there are no perfect girls, and
most any girl is good enough for the
man she marries. So there!
YEAR MISS DIX am engaged to
a young man who came from
Sweden six years ago Have my hope
chest filed and the date of the we'd
ding set. He wrote his mother and
told her he was going to be married
and she has written me a letter i'm
ploring me not to marry him because
she feels that If he marries me he
will settle down in America and never
go back TO Sweden. She says that he
has written her that / am his whole
life and that if anything should ever
happen to separate us he would leave
the United States forever. So she
begs me to break the engagement.
She says she wants all Of her children
married and settled about her in their
own country. She ends the letter
by entreating me to heed the prayers
Of a heartbroken mother. 1 have not
shown my fiance the letter yet. We
love each other so much that I
cannot bear to give him up. Neither
can bear bringing sorrow to mother.
So what must I do?
BROKENHEARTED.
AnsWer-Show the letter to your
flance and leave the decision to him.
If he loves his mother better than he
does you and thinks more of her hap
piness than he does of yours, and if
he wants to run back to mamma and
marry nice Swedish girl whom she
has picked out for him and live lust
around the corner from her, let him
60.
But my guess is that he will be
hopping mad with mother and tell
her to mind her own business; that
he proposes to run his own life and
marry whom he chooses.
He came to America in the first
place because he thought he could
better his condition, and evidently he
has done SO as he has stayed six years.
He wasn't SO devoted to his mother
then that he couldn't leave her. So
why should he want to throw up
everything he has gained now to go
back to her? And why should YOU
think you are doing him a good turn
by breaking your engagement on the
eve OF your marriage in order that he
may marry some other girl and send
ing him back TO the country he
forsook? Use your head Q little.
There Is no sense in wrecking your
life and his to crafty the whim of a
selfish and possessive mother. 1t is
a sad thing when parents and chill
dren have to be parted. but the parents
who love their children most make
them free to follow their own for
tunes. DOROTHY DIX

lIldIl tlldI III WAS liic ldSIilOn Vi Ilie
moment, often to find that it was not
suitable as soon as the fashion
changed.
The exploits of Napoleon caused a
deluge of designs known as Directoire
Consulate and Empire, all influenced
by the vicissitudes of the French ma
ton. England followed suit, and suf-
fering at the time under the ponderous
English Empire style, she commemo-
rated her great battles by decorating
furniture with dolphinS, stars and
other nautical embellishments, and
called it Trafalgar"
In Germany at about the same time
there developed a style called "Bieder-
meier" This was not the name of a
designer, furniture maker or even a
shop. A character in newspaper
comic sheet called Papa Biedermeier'
was the epitome of all that the pros
porous, plump, good -humored, middle
class citizen should be in that day
His name was applied to a style OF
furniture which became popular soon
after the Vienna conference in 1915
and continued until about 1850. If we
were to take up furnishings similar to
those in the house of the seven dwarfs
and call it Disney" we would have
about the same situation that has
given Biedermeier to posterity! This
fashion followed the general lines of
Empire or Directoire, but was made
throughout of less expensive woods,
mainly fruit woods. in place of the
crotch mahogany of the true Empire,
and with gold-painted or enameled
decoration in place of the gilt bronze.
1t was nominal in cost, heavy looking
and comfortable and was very popu-
lar. Most of it was very poor in de-
sign, but occasionally a fine piece
comes to light which inspires a deco
rator to attempt revival of this
period. Some of our modern furniture
in light wood with dark wood panels
for contrast is not unlike Biedermeier
in mass and effect.
IN AMERICA, in spite of these fads,
there we're many very fine pieces
of furniture made by such artists as
Duncan Phyfe in New York Samuel
McIntire in Salem, Savery in Phila-
delphia and Goddard in Providence.
Their own good taste and technical
ability made it possible for them to
subscribe to the fashion to please the
customer: at the same time they

you are very unjust when you
advise men not to marry
- pretty girls, or clinging vines,
or bossy girls, or girls with tempers,
or those who dress beyond their means,
or pessimistic girls, or girls with fam
lily complexes, or girls VINO hate do
mestieity.
If girl is pretty. it does not mean
that domesticity and child-bearing will
rob her Of her beauty. And marriage
can make a homely girl homelier.
There is no use in soaring men away
from the good-lookers. Besides, men
don't stay Robert Taylors, either.
II man doesn't marry a clinging
vine, one of them is mighty likely to
come along and break up his happy
home, anyway. So what's the matter
with the. clinging vine? She keeps her
husband so busy working and taking
care Of her that it keeps the "other
woman" away. Besides, men like to
be babied.
Nine times out of ten a bossy girl
is one with large responsibilities that
she would like to slide onto the shou-
ders of big strong herman. 1t would
make her happy to completely surren-
der to bossy man. So what's wrong
with the bossy girl?
A girl without temper is not emo
tional. She is ice, not fire. Temper
is in the air, in life, in plants, in
the universe. 1t is what makes the
world go round.
How is fellow who knows nothing
about women's clothes to tell when a
girl is dressed beyond her means?
There are women who spend fortunes
on clothes and look like rag dolls,
and girls who look like a million DOL
lars in hand-me- downs.
Maybe the girl who is not jolly and
good-natured has worries and there is
something wrong in her environment,
and she would be sunshine in the
home If she had husband to support
her and understand her.
There are girls who have no family
complex before marriage, but develop
violent case of it after marriage.
How is a man to know beforehand
whether he is going to play second
fiddle to mother or be the boss of his
own house?
MANY girls hate domesticity be-
cause they have never had q
chance to get acquainted with a gas
range. Yet I have known girls who
were crackerjack cooks who had got
so fed up with housework before mar
riage that they went out of the kitchen
during the honeymoon and never went
back. If men do not marry any of the
girls you warned them against, what
other type is left? There are no
perfect women. and no man would
want a perfect woman any more than
q woman would want perfect man.
PRETTY.
Answer: Well, Pretty, If you had
read my article more carefully, you
would have observed that I did not
warn men against marrying any Of
the various types Of girls mentioned.
merely set forth the advantages and
the drawbacks to each particular
kind.
And think my estimate is not
unfair. The man who marries a girl
simply because she is pretty is bound
to lose out, because Time robs the
fairest of her beauty.
The clinging vine flatters a mans
vanity, but she gets to be burden in
the end. And she doesn't baby her
husband; she makes him baby her.
Bossiness in either man or woman
is not the result of circumstances.

Alcohol Again
(New York TimeS)

(New York TimeS)
 Many will read with some astonishment the news that the American Association for the Advancement of Science has decided to make thorough unbiased and strictly scientific investigation of the physologi cal social effects of alcohol" and to give us at last the right solution for the time and place in which we live" Actually the medical libraries are filled with the conclusions reached by pharmacoo- giss physioogists, psychiatriss chemists statisci ans psychologists the basis of painsaking labora- tory research and with elaborate reports by social scientists and by official Investigators of the principal European countries Granted that the scientists have not been in accord all phases of the physiological effect of alcohol granted too that every system of control has it's defects what is there to sup controversial issue and supply law enactment and law enforcement agencies with any scientific know ledge that is now lacking?
 Exactly what does the Council mean by its promise 10 conduct research? If more laboratory studies are 10 be made. vast sums could be spent without adding anything important to the mountain of facts already accumated if digestng and crtcizing the scientific legal and sociological Information available is meant research the labora tory sense is not the Vcsagation whether scientific OF social, has been conducted by preildced persons. No doubt there has been prejudice But the Council reveals and extra ordinary Innocence when il promises to give us the factual basis on which be built some effective plan o action T. would b. miracle if t did better than it's European predecessors-be for example than the oodV of eminent scientists who prepared the wel-consdered British report that figures So largely in the literature on alcohol
 Possibly q fresh study of the alcohol problem may do some good, but it should not be heralded in advance something without which it is impossible 10 formulate acceptable program of education and control.

neighbor, friend against friend with gain coming to either
 Naturally enough it is pretty hard for John Smith, AFL, and Bill Jones, CIO living on the street and perhaps next door to each other friends a period of years, to see what the argument is all about They would much prefer to be united in a common cause and forget the pickering between leaders They realize both would benefit from harmony than from dssenson.
 That MT. Lewis is aware of this growing feeling in the ranks for unity is indicated in his offer to President Green that both resign and let some one else carry on; some one who can overlook the per- sonal animosity which has been whipped up between Lewis and Green. Both men could, as a result of their years of experience continue to be of great help to labor even if they out head men Thus their stepping down would not aienate them from labor but would be worthwhile action in behalf of the labor movement.
 They could both step down with the well wishes of the big majority of their respective union members and continue to be potent forces in the labor movement. If they hang until that inevitable time comes when the rank and file gets thoroughly disgust ed with continual war they may find themselves out, and discredited by the ranks of labor ss+8- st
 The biggest contribution MT Green and MT Lewis make to the labor movement at the present time is to step down from their leadership and let some of their subordinates see if they can't bring about peace

 The previous day John L. Lewis, head of the CIO made the proposal that both he and William Green President of the AFL resign their posts and leave it to other leaders to come to an understanding This suggestion may have been prompted by the recent message of President Roosevelt to the AFL chief which the Chief Executive pleaded for harmony in the ranks of labor pointing that continued strife can only be harmful to the of labor generally
 There is growing indication that in the rank and file of labor affiates of CIO and AFL alike there is strong sentiment for unity between the outstanding groups The great of the workmen see little point in continued animosity It is too much like Civil War neighbor too often is lined up against

As Maine Goes
Philadelphia Record)

Before any more businessmen fall for the Republi- can partys build-up of itself the citadel of con- servatsm it might be well to take good look at the kind of instruments the party is using to fight the New Deal.
 In Maine three Republican Congressmen were reelected over three Democrats and the conservative press is jubilating the victory
 But these three Republicans actually Town sendites. They made Townsendte campaigns and had the and open support of Doc Townsend himself.
 Query: What kind of "businessman's party is it that reoices when the advocates of dizzy revov- ing pension plan nostrum win?
 Answer: Strictly a phony.
