Dorothy Dix Says
Man Does His Family an Injustice
ByNot Saving for Rainy Day.

THE second fact that stares us in
the face is that the man who
spends everything he makes as he goes
along, indulging his tastes and deny
ing himself nothing. is nothing better
than thief. because in the end he
robs other people Of the money that
they have sweated for and sacrificed
to save. They haven't had good times.
They haven't feasted and made merry.
They have done without the things
they wanted and the good times they
would have enjoyed. Then Good
Time Charlie comes along, after hav-
ing spent all Of his money, and they
have to support him.
They have to pay his doctors bills
when he gets sick. They have to sup
port him when he can't work. They
have to educate his children. They
have to take him into their homes
when he gets old. And it isn't fair. It
is nothing but robbery. 1t is stealing
just as much as it would be to take
some one else'S pocketbook.
But what Good Time Charles wife
is going to do about it I don't know
If man is not forward enough look
ing himself to see the necessity for
providing for the future. it is because
he deliberately shuts his eyes to what
he does not want to see.
The wife's nagging will get her
nowhere. 1t will only make quarrels
that will ALLEVIATE her husband from
her. All that she can do is to try
to turn his spending mania to some
good purpose by getting him to go
in debt for real estate or good secur-
tiles on which he has to pay every
month And even that isn't very
hopeful prospect, because Good Time
Charlie would always rather throw
q party than put the money in the
savings bank.

Answer-A new house is q grave
responsibility deserving the best ad-
vice. feel that it would be very
much worth the cost for you to seek
the advice Of a professional interior
decorator. However, would be very
happy to help you in any small mat
ters, If you can send me some idea of
the size and exposure OF your house
and some of your own preferences.
You may either paint or paper your
house according to your choice. Paper
should be the simple hand-blocked
designs, with no feeling Of elegance
or formality. If you paint the walls
use light pastel shades with the trim
two shades lighter, or white. Pine
paneling would be appropriate for the
dining room, but it will demand
sunny room and informal furniture.
Keep in mind that the New England
cottage type of house had neat, Just
scrubbed" starchy look about it, and
its furniture and furnishings were the
kind that stood wear and tear and
responded we'll to soap and water.
Beyond this I cannot help you with
out further information about the
size and type Of your house and some
idea of your own desires. I appre-
ciate the fact that you are puzzled,
but Colonial houses are many and
varied and for you to enjoy your house
you must have around you the things
that satisfy you.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have been trying to get some
dresser lamps that will give me a
proper light for makeup purposes.
They all seem to be too low, or to give
too little light.
ELOISE L. NJ,
Thirty-fourth street.
Answer-The only way to get good
light is to have strong lamp directly
above your mirror, so that the light
shines on your face without any
shadows. Tall lamps, when you turn
the shades up. shine into your eyes,
and the overhead light. in spite OF the
charm of dresser lamps, is the only
one that really helps.
