Dorothy Dix Says
Girls Should Not Sacrifice Lives
Just to Support Lazy Fathers.

the nerve to deal with them as they
deserve.
GENERALLY, father develops some
mysterious chronic ailment that
the doctors can't diagnose about the
time Sally gets job that prevents
him from swinging a pick, or stand
ing behind counter, or bending over
set Of books, but that does not keep
him from eating three square meals
day and walking miles and miles
around a pool table. or sitting up
until all hours settling the affairs
of the world at the corner saloon.
He says he looks well, 1t is true. but
nobody knows what he suffers. Which
is true enough.
So just walk out on papa and leave
him with the bag to hold. When
it is a question Of work or going
hungry he will get job And it
will do him good, physically, men,
tally and morally.
1t isn't safe for any girl to con-
tinue working for a boss who is in
love with her, in spite Of the fact
that he has a wife and children.
Sooner or later she finds herself in a
pretty mess, no matter how discreet
she is. Better leave before your
sweetheart gets green-eyed, or the
mans wife names you as correspondent
in a divorce case.

Hints on
Beauty
Mouth Will Reveal
Real Character
OF All Women.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

GARY COOPER speaks his piece
about women's beauty and it
is q surprising bit.
In his opinion: The most i'm
portant feature of a woman's face Is
her mouth, not her eyes as is so gen.
orally supposed. The eyes may first
attract a man but his attention focuses
on her mouth. This feature reflects
her real character and women, there
fore, should spend more time on lip
rouging than on eyebrow penciling or
arching."
If you agree with Mr.. Cooper (and
after all he is an authority you should
learn all you can about makeup for
the mouth-how to accent a natural
cupid's bow; how to make a wide
mouth look narrower, long mouth
look shorter and so on. You should
also learn to speak without exagger-
ated mouthing, yet use your lips prop
erly because nothing subtracts from
the animation Of the face quite as
much as immobile lips.
Olympic Bradna's French instinct
for what IS becoming tells her that
pink and purple, even on q brunette
are trying. The very latest cosmetic
fad doesn't interest her. What is
pretty Is more vitally her concern.
And, she says a warm biege, creamy
or even dusky faint rose tone
well, now that's different and that's
lovely. But not really hard pink or
purple.
Martha Raye wants to know what
it is that makes women of all ages,
sizes. types and women with any
number of chins 60 in for those coy
hats with chin straps. She thinks
that women nowadays are out-trying
her in looking funny and what's more
they are succeeding what with those
silly hats they're wearing. She Just
can't understand it. Aside from the
editor neither can T." What's more
perhaps that best beau you haven't
heard from lately feels the same way.
Chin straps are fine when worn in
privacy to help you keep the chin up
and in single blessedness. But for
hats-taboo.

a complete evolutionary process which
gives many logical and different types
In the construction Of these chairs
few power tools other than a turning
lathe were used. The lathe was used
for the heavy underbody and some
Of the exterior spindIes but all the
delicate detail of the hoop back, the
comb, or the comb spindles were
turned out by hand with draw or
spoke -shaves, and good keen eye.
In making the seat the concave shap-
ing Of the upper side of the seat was
accomplished with chisels and small
planes. The hoop back and all bent
parts were done by skillful steaming
OF green wood and its insertion in
place before it dried or cooled.
~ X X 4
A VERY unusual feature of Windsor
chairs was this use of green wood
Lumber fresh from the log and still
green with tree sap was turned and
the ends Of stretchers and legs of this
wood placed in position. When they
dried they formed joint tighter than
anything glue or wedges could pro-
duce. If the chairs were built of sea-
soned lumber, concealed wedges were
used, which, after the chair was fitted,
could never be taken apart-to at
tempt to do SO usually results in a
split leg or spindle.
Windsor chairs were made Of a
variety of wood, each part selected
for the use and strain it was to bear.
Pine and white wood were the favorite
for the seat, as they were easily sawed
from a 2-inch plank and strong when
seasoned. For the turnings they used
maple, birch, ash or chestnut, as their
fine grain worked we'll on the turning
lathe. White oak, hickory and ash
were preferred for spindles, hoops and
back rails, since they could be bent
without breaking when they were
steamed. This variety in color and
texture of wood was not noticeable,
as Windsors were intended to be
painted and were never sold "in the
white" or unpainted, as many other
pieces were in that day. Colors varied
in different shops. the favorites being
bottle green, brown, red and chrome
yellow. Black was also popular, but
usually carried another color as an
undercoat.
Windsors Of the 1725-l750 period
are Of the simple, low-back style.
After this comes the comb, fan and
bow back designs, with or without
arms. The rocking chair came in about
IT'S and became a great favorite.
Many Windsors were cut down at that
time for the addition of rockers. Many
OF them Immediately after that time
were made with rockers. These STYLES,
with variations, were made until the
beginning of the 10Th century. The
rodback Windsor and those with bam-
boo-like turnings came with the Sher-
atom influence after 1890. The painted
fancy" chair also influenced the true
Windsor after 1900. BY 1910 the
clumsy 'firehouse" chair had made its
stand and the design quickly deteri-
GRATED when it was changed to con-
form to factory standards.

The Old Gardener Soys

Many rose growers have found
1t an excellent plan to apply a
heavy coating Of peat moss to the
rose beds about July /. Peat moss
helps to keep down weeds and re-
tain the moisture in the soil. Not
all rose growers, however, agree
that this is a good plan, because
OF the possibility of too much
peat moss being worked into the
soil, thus causing the soil to be-
come too acid. For this reason, it
is best to remove a part of the
peat in the fall or spring, rather
than working it into the soil. To
further counteract the danger of
soil acidity. it is advisable to make
a light application of lime every
three or four years. An impor-
tant fact to remember. and one
which is very often overlooked, is
that the beds should be we'll
soaked with water before the
mulch is applied. A mulch layer
about an inch thick is satisfac-
tory.

that bears the name OF windsor. The
prototype of this chair was actually
in use in England as early as the
18th century. and though it is a crude
unwieldly piece, bears close resem-
blance to those country-made Wind
sors which appeared after the deca-
dent period which began about 1850 in
America.
Windsors first made their appear
ance about 100 in Philadelphia. They
were called "Philadelphia" chairs and
were the sturdy type with low back,
U-shaped top rail, and deep, we'll
nodded seat. They were in use. at
all important functions where men
gathered for business or pleasure
When the first Continental Congress
met in Carpenters Hall the members
sat in Windsor chairs, which may still
be seen there. The next year at Inde-
pendence Hall, the same type of chair
was furnished Thomas Jefferson used
Windsor with writing arm, which
he designed himself on which he made
the first draft of the Declaration of
Independence. CThis writing arm
Windsor was the grandfather of the
one-arm lunch chair.
After the Revolution, when George
Washington returned to Mount Vernon
people came from far and near by the
hundreds to see him. Martha WASH
ington ordered 80 Windsor chairs for
the east portico to accommodate these
gentlemen while they waited, feeling
sure that sturdy chairs like these would
stand any amount of weight, and that
they were sufficiently comfortable.
IRON Philadelphia the manufac-
ture of Windsor chairs spread to
New York and New England. 1t be-
came such a profitable enterprise that
many chairmakers gave up all other
work and devoted their time to this
business only. Every village had its
Windsor chair shop, and the large
cities advertised that they had sup
ply on hand at any time sufficient
to furnish any meeting house, town
hall. church vestry or tavern at short
notice. 1t is unlikely that Windsors
were made in the Southern colonies
but were shipped down the coast from
Northern shops and sold through
dealers in the cities on the seaports.
On the porch of small country ho-
tells or in the village firehouse it was
not unusual to find several good Wind
sors up to 20 years ago. The seat
and arms would be literally carved
with initials and dates and the paint
worn down to the shiny white wood
seat-but the legs and spindles were
as solid as the day they were joined
in spite of the fact that many husky
man tipped them back against the
wall. and half reclined with all the
weight resting on the back legs only.
American Windsors are distin-
guished from the English variety by
two earmarks. The English one will
have an ornamental splat replacing
several of the spindles in the back
and there is less play, or slope, to the
legs. Windsors here went through
