Manners
of the
Moment
WINDOW OPENERS are usually

WINDOW OPENERS are usually
bold and selfish.
Window closers are usually tinid
and self-effacing.
And it's probably all due to that
early grammar school training in
which fresh air was a part of the
First Commandment.
But 1t really doesn't seem right.
Window openers shouldn't be allowed
to think that their sensations are
the only ones that count. They
shouldn't be permitted to come into
room in which every one else Is
hugging the radiator and to 90
straight over to the window, throw
it open with bang and the remark
that it's awfully stuffy in here.
But they always seem to win out.
They're so aggressive. If window
closer sneaks up and tries quietly
to shut the window the window opener
just looks up disgustedly from his
paper and goes over to open it again
with clatter.
Window openers are unbeatable.
But just you wait until we all have
air-conditioning. Then they simply
won't know what to do with them.

1nebriated
Driver Is
|AMenace
Girls Should Insist
That Their Escorts
Have Clear Heads.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

| Urls ought to understand that
an escort who drinks intoxicants
is not a safe driver and refuse to
enter the car if the driver has been
drinking. If he is downright drunk
he cannot drive, and that solves that
situation, but if he is only exhilarated
| he Is dangerous. 1t takes only a
slight turn Of the wheel to cause an
accident, and the hands of the ex-
hilarated driver are likely to be un-
steady.
The mind Of the exhilarated one IS
not functioning normally. He thinks
1t Is. Everybody else thinks it is be-
cause he can walk and talk and shcw
no sign Of trouble. But the trouble
Is lurking in the background OF his
uncertain mind. His reactions are
either slowed or speeded a trifle, and
that trifle might make all the differ
ence in the world to him and to the
girl riding with him. Intelligent boys
will not take such a risk, but all boys
are not intelligent in this matter. The
girl has to do some thinking about it
for herself and protect herself.
Sometimes the accident is to an
other car and its occupants. know
Of one that happened on the way
home from a party. The slightly ex-
hilarated driver hit another car, and
the glass scattering in all directions
cut the face Of the girl who was rid
ing in the other car, disfiguring her
for life. She was in no way to
blame, nor was her escort The young
man who had taken . drink or two
before starting for home was respon-
sible. but that doesn't help the In
jured girl one bit.
The girls can do a lot to prevent
such happenings by telling their es-
corts that they will not ride in a car
whose driver has been drinking, and
hold to that no matter what happens.
I know that this is likely to break
friendships, cost the girl some pleas
ant hours, but that cost is cheap if It
saves her or somebody else from in
jury or death.
Driving car has become a casual
matter for our young people. Acci-

young person is certain that 1T could
not happen" to him. He "can drive
car with his eyes shut"
He can do nothing OF the kind. He
needs both eyes In good working order
and q steady hand directed by a cool,
level mind. Even then he will have
all he can do to travel safely amid
the party drivers that are on the
roads week ends and occasional in
between days. An engine is . machine
that does its work perfectly as long as
it is directed perfectly. It's response
is the accurate response to the hand
and mind driving it. It can do moth
ing to help itself or others. The
driver holds the wheel, and his mind
Is the machines master. The clearer
the mind the truer the course of the
car. Alcohol is very bad for car
drivers.
Girls have this largely in their own
hands. The boys will soon fall in
line with their notion about it. Party
drivers must not drink.

These windows will not need Venetian
blinds
DEAR MISS NOVEL;: In my
kitchen the tiny window above
the stove Is opposite the window OF
the door. The room is very small and
no window dressing 80 far has looked
we'll, always overdressed. I have
thought that two Venetian blinds
painted to fit the color scheme Of the
room might be the solution. I prob
ably would not be able to afford to
have them made to order. Would you
have another suggestion? L. B.
Answer-Venetian blinds less than
standard size would have to be made
to order. In a small kitchen they
would have tendency to get soiIed
very soon, and they are not easy to
clean. Why not use sheer muslin,
either with a rod at the head and
foot and tied in the middle or Just
straight sash curtains with a cotton
lace edge that will go into the laundry
and always look we'll?
YEAR MISS NOWELL-I have
lovely American walnut bed room

it, or restore 1t to its original state as
would prefer doing? 1t has cane in
sets and the head pieces Of the bed
and the tops Of the mirrors have de-
sign Of carved flowers and boWknots.
These were originally rubbed with

Answer would restore the furni-
ture to its original condition. Use
paint remover to do this, following the
directions that come with it. Finish
it with a soft waxed finish in the
natural wood color and pick out the
ornament again with the gold. There
will be no more work to this than on a
good paint job and 1t will be more
fashionable and more beautiful in its
original condition.

to keep their fingers out Of their pies,
they do not know.
Nor can any one tell them. because
mother does not realize the crime she
is committing against her children.
On the contrary, she feels that she is
bestoWing an inestimable blessing upon
them by taking charge Of all Of their
affairs and making them live their
lives after her pattern. She cannot,
or will not see that they are no longer
little children who must be guided
and directed and that they have a
right to individual liberty.
Nor can the average mother be made
to realize that the bond between her
married children and their mates is
different from that between herself
and them, and that just as she herself
was not satisfied with her love for her
mother and her mothers companion
ship. so they crave the love and COM
panionship that comes to husbands
and wives who have everything in
common.
1t Is impossible for children to tell
their mothers that they are running
their lives without intending it, be-
cause at the first word mother bursts
into tears and begins reproaching
them with not loving her and being
ungrateful and recounting her sacri-
fees for them. And she Is so filled
with the sense of her own wrongs
that she is incapable of approaching
theirs. But have often wondered if
1t could not be got across to mother
in letter which she could read after
she had got over her Mysteries and
was able to understand a calm state
ment of facts.
Suppose you should say: Mother,
you managed your own home in your
own way. Why not be big enough and
generous enough to let Mary have the
same privilege? You brought up your
children according to the ideas that
prevailed in your day. Times have
changed. Let us rear ours according
to the modern methods. Can't you,
for the sake of peace, refrain from
telling Mary that you never used your
best china every day. and that you
never allowed your children to do the
things that ours do, and from telling
me how bad two cups Of coffee are
for my nerves."
Maybe such a letter would bear
fruit. Maybe it wouldn't. But, at
any rate, it is worth trying.

Hats Demand
A ASwept>Up
Couture
Long Bobs Do Not
Harmonic With
New Fashions.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.
IN NEW YORK hair-dos are definite

IN NEW YORK hair-dos are definite
ly high and have been for months
And in other big cities, too. Women
in these big cities are quick to dare
something new.
But from other sections Of the cour,-
try come the queries: Are the upswept
styles really taking? Are they really
being worn? Or are these just pic
lures in the magazines?"
The best way I can answer these
questions is to point to advertisements,
not by beauty parlors, but by millinery
makers. I quote one milliner: Its a
Paris prediction come true. this close
harmony between hat and hair-do.
The new sailor is perfect counter
part of the new upswing in hair
styles"
Another milliner: 'Perched precari-
ously on top of the head-a high style,
indeed, and highly complimentary to
the brushed-up curls"
I'll admit that last fall, when the
short hair styles were first introduced,
milliners were a little wary of the
fashion. They continued making their
hats to go with the longer bobs. But
this season they are definitely recog-
nizing the short hair-do as the reign
ing style.
Furthermore. look at the jewelry
counters, featuring earclips, because
ears are so much in evidence with the
new high hair-dos."
There's one thing you can be sure
Of: When kindred fashion departments
recognize a new beauty trend, that
trend has passed the fad stage. It Is
q definite vogue.
Curls are short. high, handsome.

Of handsome new varieties. Two
outstanding white kinds are

that are sometimes almost 2
inches across. and Mount Rain
Ter, with petals 20 finely cut that
they look like fringe. Mount
Rainier is q taller. more bushy

grows 3 to feet high and is

aster, probably the most strik-
ingly individual variety to ap-
pear In years. is Harringtons
