Marital Maladjustment Causes
Many Mental Breakdowns.

ness that he cannot endure. She Is
just indulging in an orgy of self-pity,
Nevertheless. the husbands of many
of these wet-blanket wives kill them
selves.
So it seems that on the ability of hus-
bands and wives to adjust themselves
to each other depends not only their
happiness but often their sanity. Per-
petual nagging is like the continual
drop of water that will wear away
the hardest stone. No one can stand
it indefinitely Never-ending fault
finding will snap the strongest nerves
The jar and fret Of squabbles over
everything and arguments about moth
ing get to be an obseSsion that the
mind cannot throw of. The lack OF
tenderness. the lack of sympathy and
understanding prey on the gentle
and sensitive until it saps their reason
Many and many a man and woman
take their lives because they have been
robbed of all that makes life worth
living.
The moral of all of which is Watch
your step when you get married if you
want to keep your sanity. There is nc
such insurance against mental break

full OF envy for those women who are
fortunate enough to be able to possess
them.
The fur trimmed coats this year are
lovelier than ever. Furs are piled on
extravagantly, shoulders are interest
ing and different, sleeves are beauti-
fully cut and often made of fur, and
the materials are something to oh! and
ah. about.
Materials this season are, for the
main part, of rough fabrics-many OF
them imported. This new type is
called needlepoint and is one of the
latest and smartest woods. 1t feels to
the touch very much like needlepoint
tapestry-a sort of smooth-rough
texture that is very flattering. Pat
termed surfaces and plateau weaves
comprise some of the best coats-in
fact, the majority of them.
X
EURS this year are mainly silver fox
mink, Persian lamb, sheared
beaver, sable and lynx Long haired
furs are used extensively on travel
coats or on very dressy styles-as, TO,
instance, the use Of silver fox. This
latter fur finds great favor this season

seen is the plain black coat topped by
separate jacket of silver fox. 1t is
really two-Vay coat, for the jacket,
with three -quarter-length sleeves, can
be used as separate piece-over WOOL
en- dresses as costume suit or as an
evening wrap. Mink is used to trim
plateau-weave black coat in single
tuxedo effect, with one strip down the
entire length of the coat. Another
model using the same fur had wide
cuff bands of mink on mushroom type
sleeves, and this same coat was made
with the most interesting shoulder
line-a draped effect. Fur sleeves are
being used to great extent, and there
is nothing lovelier than well-made
coat with sleeves of silver fox or
Sheared beaver.
Lines this year run to the slim boxy
effect, but there are many fitted types
with slightly flaring skirts. The latter
often have suggestion Of bloused
back and usually fit very Snugly at the
waistline.
QUITS are generally of three types
the three piece suit in sport
types with long-haired fur. the costume
suit, and the dressy style. Costume
suits are lovely ensembles, most of
them with quite short jackets and
beautifully made woolen dresses under
them Tweeds are popular for the
sport suit with the ever-present wolf
and lynx collars. In the dressy styles,
however, We find new and really out
standing models. There are black
suits trimmed with Persian lamu on
both outside coat and short jacket:
beige wool dresses topped with short
jackets of sheared beaver; and-one
of the most stunning outtlts-a full
length coat of the new teal blue
trimmed in tuxedo effect with red
fox. The coat goes over teal blue
dress made with pleatS in the front
and really lovely lines. 1t is vital to
year. Paris designers-those whose
names spell fashion-are cooperating
with us in presenting all the new colors,
and We will be finding more and more
bright shades in all the autumn clothes.
Costume suits in bright colors are just
hint of what is to come later.
All in all, suits and coats this year
are really something to take your
breath away. Outstanding things to
notice and consider when you buy
are the new rough and nubby woolen
fabrics, the use OF furs on sleeves
and lapels, the shoulder details, and
slim, boxy lines or fitted coats with
slightly bloused back You may
have your own preference, but these
are the "musts" Of the moment.
All in favor say AYE. That
makes it unanimous.

Keep Figure
Trim With
Drastic Changes
Should Not Be
Considered.
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

NOW that summer sports are nearly
over we must give thought to
the indoor exercises we most need to
keep our, figures trim, or to distribute
most becomingly the extra pounds We
acquired during those playday months
1t Is an excellent idea to start q
chart of figure measurements and
weights, leaving room for nine months
record. Chart yourself accurately
and then determine what corrective
work must be done to make you a
fascinating lady!
You know, this acquiring beauty
or glamour or appeal depends greatly
upon your will One terribly attrac-
tive woman I know sWears she can
think" herself to slimness, or think"
herself to a heavier weight if extra
| pounds is what she needs! And I
| believe she actually can.
II you are determined to lose weight
you can easily reconcile yourself to
| a routine OF exercise and a reducing
diet. You just never think Of stray
ing from the course you have laid for
yourself! And in no time at all you
have accomplished the measurements
| you desire. The same thinking habit
holds true for under weights who de-
sire more glamorous proportions!
There is no reason in the wide
world why you cannot find specific
exercises to build you up or reduce
you in the definite spots calling for
| correction!
You shouldn't, however, desire to
get down to l2O pounds if you have
been ITO pounds! Nor should you
wish to slip into a size "a dress if you
have for years been taking q 49,
Such drastic changes in figure are
not to be recommended and neurotic
underweights should not expect ever
to be buxom. But all women can
sensibly control measurements and
weights if they have mind to. and
keep within reasonable proportions
for their type. age, and build.
Swimming is, as you know, the best
| all-round exercise. I wish more wom-
en- would take swimming seriously,
! lSk 4ilcH lllcIG are RSIltTdl
muscle toning exercises which keep
circulation up to par and skin youth
full looking.
The most popular OF the corrective
movements are. naturally, those which
slim your waistline and reduce your
hips.
If you are stout or slim send for
my leaflet "Beautifying the Midriff"
which gives one exercise for each
type to keep the midriff fashionable! !!
There is also a leaf1et "Beautifying
Limbs and Ankles" which some of you
might benefit by.

these leaflets. And if you have
weight problem tell me about it.
