"A philatenc truck is being sponsored
by the Government to bring to the
youth OF the country, especially those

United States stamps ever assembled
for such a purpose.
According to present plans, the
truck will exhibit specimens of every
United States stamp from the first
issue of 1S47, which consisted Of two
adhesives, to the present series, which
will number 80 by the end of the year.

Dorothy Dix Says
Old People Often Cause Riffs
Within the Domestic Lutte

to her sons and daughters domestic
peace.
Yet apparently she is, and the
only reason for it seems to be that
every family is closed corporation
that desires no newcomers; every
home world in itself into which
any stranger breaks at his peril
When a man and woman marry
they do so in order that they may
be alone together. When they set
up home they do it to have a
place of privacy, apart from seeing
eyes and listening ears, in which
they can do what they please with
out regard for any one elses tastes
or pleasure or comfort. They want
place where they can talk out
their hearts to each other without
any one listening in on them and
thinking how silly their endearments
of each other are, or taking sides
in their spats, or knowing their
secrets.
So when grandma comes to live
with them she breaks up all of this
dear intimacy. Husband can't tell
wife before grandma all the details
of his days work because he doesn't
want her to know and perhaps in
nocently tell his business secrets.
There is no fun running around
together when they always have
to drag grandma with them. The
evenings are dull because grandma,
like virtually all old people, monopo-
Lies the conversation and tells about
what she and grandpa used to do
40 years ago, and what cute baby
little Johnny was until everybody
wants to scream.
So there it is. The only remedy
that I can suggest for the situation
is for the sons and daughters to be
more patient with mother. To
mother I would suggest the wis
dom of spending much of her
time in her own room and cultivat-
ing the habit of going to bed i'm
mediately after dinner so that
daughter and her husband may
have their evenings alone.

which this furniture is cleaned and
it's spotless, unmarried surface makes
it good investment from house.
keepers standpoint.
Keep in mind the fact that this
glass is not the same as that used in
your windows which will shatter at a
blow, but has been treated for dur
ability by special process so that
it has great strength; that it has a
residence that will repel many
sharp knock and will remain intact
where wood or other material would
be dented or scratched. 1t does not
chip or shatter. 1t will, of course,
break if you go after it deliberately
with a hammer. But barring real
accidents, your glass table or screen
at the end of five years will still be
unmarried where wood or painted
surface would show the effects of
constant use and need refinishing.
Designs Fit Well In
Modern Interiors.
Much of this glass furniture has
been designed along modern lines
and fits beautifully into modern in
terror. Most modern houses are
small and compact. In these small
rooms glass furniture does not give
an appearance of bulk, as it allows
vision through from one side to the
other giving an uncluttered effect of
spaciousness that would not be pos
sible with a more solid type of con-
struction. This transparent effect is
helpful also in using a few glass
pieces with traditional furniture. as
it literally reflects the pattern of the
surrounding pieces. and as long as
pedestal and base are not too ex-
treme or severe, becomes an inter-
eSting contrast.
Glass accessories offer a light
touch to the decoration of any room
There are reproductions of fine glass
pieces that are as perfect in shape
and quality as the originals. Crys-
tai that reflects color like diamonds,
translucent pieces with the sheen of
opals, colored glass that would make
the first glassmakers, the early
Egyptians, green with envy. Lamp
bases are lovely in glass whether
they are the modern, massive,
columnar type or the old fashioned
ones with the prism pendants Bon
bon boxes, smoking accessories, bev-
erage services are attractive made
of glass. A modern tea table has it's
own glass tea kettles on tiny elec-
trio stove. Watching it boil lends
an added zest to enjoyment of the
brew and in spite of the old adage
doesn't seem to discourage it's boil
ing.

Gently. It's an important question
because maids OF IS and 16 and II
see their friends accepting invita-
tions and having good times, and
can't understand why their own
parents refuse to let them have
the same privileges.
Naturally, there can be no hard
and fast rule. Girls differ. Some
of them are mature enough at IS
to accept an occasional movie or
dance invitation; others grow up
less rapidly and either can't or won't
accept the responsibilities of young
womanhood until they are II, or
even 49,
Actual age is not important. It's
the maids mental attitude toward
boys, her sense of responsibility, and
her emotional stability which count
most. The same thing is true on
the other side of the fence The
maturity of boy should be meas
ured in the same way-not by the
number of his birthday anniver-
saries.
It's mistake to make a normal,
healthy "teener" wait too long. We
know Of girl who was refused
dating privileges until after her
Goth birthday anniversary. Now
she's so boy-crazy that she can't
think of anything else; and, being
young ourselves, we blame her
parents.
The important point is this If
maids and men can grow up nat
urally together-if they can belong
to the same clubs. dance together,
party together and play together,
sharing sports and school activities
the relationship between them
will be completely normal. happy
one. There won't be boy-crazy girls
and girl-crazy boys There will be
maturity and good sense and morals
which are both modern and high
grade.

Mary can give little informal

any deficiency in its ability to be
easily cared for and to have the
most exquisite appearance at all

The development of the glass in
dustry both practically and artis-
tically has progressed amazingly
within the last few years in this
country. The combined efforts of
great scientists and fine artists have
presented glass to the world tor

interior finish, as we'll as in beautl-
full objects worthy of a place with
the treasures of civilization.
You'll find in the shops that there
are glass screens, with designs sand
plastered into their surfaces, which
form a decorative background for
fine modern furniture. There are
glass screens to be used in front OF

they display the freight to good
advantage. Delightful small tables
of glass are known to most OF us
and dining room tables and side
boards are both decorative ana

We have been in the habit OF
thinking that because these prod
ucts were new, streamlined and
modern in design that they must
be expensive This is no longer
true. The great improvement in
the making of glass and its resultant
popularity has brought the price
down within the range of modest
purses, and as glass is attractive in
any type of interior, and with all
designs in furniture, several pieces
NAV be used without the necessity
of doing over the entire room.

Wear Warm
Clothing
Today
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Once it was considered not only
healthy, but truly smart to face
the winter in sheer silk undies, web
hose and the thinnest of slippers.
That was about five years ago.
Whatever caused the change to
the saner style of dressing up to
winter weather. I do not know,
but the most chic of women today
know how to keep warm without
losing a mite of their attractive
ness. Woolies in the sheerest of
weaves have become most popular
and cold weather overshoes have
taken on new style. And woolens
in dresses and wraps are the latest
in evening elegance.
OF course, there is no need to
don the proverbial red f1annels and
be ladened with heavy cumber-
some clothes, to face the lowered
temperature. But you should wear
enough clothing and the right sort
to keep your body warm and your
face looking as if it enjoyed the
winter. A drawn face caused by
a chilled body is anything but at
tractive, and feet almost CONCEALED
in thin, light shoes on a snowy
day, is ridiculous beyond words.

Dear Miss Dix: We are middle
aged married couple with half
grown children. Our home life up
to now has been exceptionally
happy, but it is all being disrupted
by my wife's mother. who has come
to live with U.S. Since her advent
we seem to have got on each others
nerves. Where there was peace and
harmony there is now pickering.
My wife and I are having our first
quarrels and over nothing. And the
queer part is not that grandma is
especially Objectionable. 1t is just
that she is there all the time.
Always under foot. Always sitting
around listening to everything that
is said, so that my wife and I can
have no private conversation.
Always in the front row when
company comes, which somehow
seems to cramp everybody's style.
Wherever we 60 we have to take
her, and that spoils the party. So
does it ruin the drive when she is
camped on the back seat of the car.
Grandma is strong and hearty.
Plenty able physically to make her
own living or to live by herself.
What are we to do? Endure her for
the next Is or 80 years and go nuts,
or get divorce, or what?
