only fraction of what you would
usually pay for dresses of this
character. Enlist the family's en-
thusiasm, and you can make win
ter days CHEEKY for all of you by
planning something new to wear.
For Big Sister.
A charming Princess frock on
trim and tailored lines. Note that
it buttons from neck to hem and
that the waistline is belted to add
a snug line. This is young-look-
ing dress with plenty of swish for
the most misunderstanding college
girl. Make it up for Spring in thin
wool, alpaca or print crepe. You'll
like it's clean-cut lines.
For Little Sister.
A copy of the popular Big Apple
frock with the same fiaring skirt,
fitted basque and short, pulled
sleeves. The dress that your little
girl will adore wearing, for she
likes these copy-cat fashions.
Make it for Spring school days of
chambray, percale or cotton
broadcloth. For immediate wear,
try it in serge or flannel. 1t is a
dress that has faring, graceful
lines.
For Mother.

cording to experts in the British di-
vorce courts. Men, being tougher,
are just meek second-raters. The
learned experts explain that the cru
ell streak in feminine makeup comes
out especially when the object of
their hate is another woman, prov
ing that women will never be sue
cessful in business dealings with
other women. The same experts say
that men forget more quickly. Wom-
en-, like elephants, will never rest
until they get satisfaction, if they
think they've been wronged.
The fourth point comes from testi-
mony given by the working girl
herself, an energetic young Boston
secretary who rushes home with an
armful of groceries each night.
She's a housewife.
''How much does my salary really
mean to my family" she asks. "a
good three-fourths of it is wasted
on such expenses as a maid, extra
food, luncheons, carfares, clothes,
laundry, etc. That could all be cut
out if I stayed home and did the
job nature fitted me for. In other
words, for about $40 week, I'm de-
priving my youngsters of their
mother when they need her most,
and working myself into a nervous
stew in the bargain"
"And anyway" grumbles her
husband, sit amt fair. The fact
that my wife and several million
other women are working keeps my
salary down. She gets home late
every night and eat canned beans
for supper. The beds are never
made on time, the dishes are never
washed and the house looks like
shambles. If this foolishness doesn't
stop pretty soon I'm going to-"
"Okay, Mister" answers the wife
"why don't you try washing dishes
yourself now and them"
Which makes a fellow suddenly
realize that women always have,
and always will, direct the destiny
of mankind.

women were disqualified for lack OF
knowledge of court terms than men.
"Women are more honest than men
in admitting they don't know the
answer to a question:" he said.
''Men try to guess at the answer;
women just say they don't know"
In New York a prominent judge
explains that when women are help

their wits, since ladies of the jury

At this point, since Mr.. Husband
probably feels pretty downhearted,
it's pleasing to run into friend like

says women are not ready to rule
America.

interfere with things" he says.
"They have consistently rushed into
all sorts of reform movements and

total agreement on his prohibition
argument, most men will concur
that women are upsetting the social

en-. Much to their dismay, working
girls find this chivalrous custom dis
appearing.
The second point in defense of
mans continued supremacy is a
tendency to pay women smaller
wages. Recent United States De-
partment of Labor surveys show a
difference of from SO to go per cent
between mems and women's sala-
ries on the same type of jobs. Sea-
son, location and occupation seldom
alter the situation. The reason, ac-
cording to Miss Mary Elizabeth Pid-
geon, who made the study, is that
women's work has been concerned
largely with unpaid household tasks.

! Mr.. Husband, have you ever

The time may come when a
struggling young business wo-
man asks the man of her choice
to love, honor and obey, to keep
house and raise the children.
All of a sudden-after it's too
late-we're realizing that Amer
lean women are in a fair way to
dictate how tomorrow's social
structure shall be formed.
Today's women hold-or expect to

weapon in their power, it is only
fair to assume that politics and in
dustry may soon be in their grasp.
Figures Are Overwhelming.
Eighty per cent of Americas

surance has been assigned to wom-
en-. Since the proud beauties aver
age a six per cent longer life than
mere man, they're in a fair way
to collect most of it. Moreover,
women constitute 40 per cent of the
100000 stockholders in American
corporations. They hold titles to 40
per cent of our homes and control
IS per cent of the national buying
power.
Once they gain foothold in the
business world, determined women
usually succeed. The following list
of salaries paid top-flight women ex-
ecutives two years ago is far above
average, but it will make many
male wage Garner jealous:

dent, the Detroit Edison company,

powered executives, but their apti-
tude for traditional mems jobs is
amazing. A Cadiz, Ohio, woman

Perhaps the most outstanding
woman today is Nine. Chang Kali

considered the real behind-the-
