In HGngings
And Walls
By JANE ROGERS

Color is going to play an ex-
tremely important part this fall
and winter in the decoration Of
your home and mine. Of all the
colors, yellow with its tonal
range is to be outstanding. This
means it will be featured in up
holstery fabrics, in wallpaper, in
paint and in draperieS. A logical
choice, yes, for it is cherry,
warm and grand to live with
during the dull winter monhs.
Even your new fall window
shades will be in color. A tone
called chrysanthemum yellow is
the newest one on the horizon.
When hung at your windows it
gives your rooms a rich, warm
glow that is extremely pleasing;
then. too, it seems to bring the
sunshine indoors even on gray
days with the result that your
home is a more pleasing, hos
pitable place to live in.
We've had another tip from
the decorators-hang two shades
at your windows they say-one
for inside color harmony, the
second for outside street uni
formity-and thereby save as
much as 43 per cent heat. This
last is a substantial item to con-
slider when the winter snow and
cold set in in earnest.

EAN they be in love, these brilliant little college
~ girls we see fitting about? They are all
back from the long vacation, and of course, a
lot Of interesting things may happen in these
carefree summer days and romantic moonlit
nights.
One thing is certain, there is new light in
their eyes, the little gleam that speaks of pleasant
memories and anticipation of wonderful year
of school and interesting week-ends when the
one and only young man will be around.
The first unchaperoned events will be thrilling,
and the average young person will want to wear
all the lovely things she has, including plenty Of
new fall makeup. They feel they must establish
themselves as grownups, and do it with all the
sophlstcation of the blase girl OF society.
While we feel there is no objection to their
ambition to look grownup, they will be smarter
lust now to avoid the too-SophlStlcated air, and
especially any evidence of conspicuous makeup.
This you know, is season of subtle innocence
which means you may be just as smart ana ex'
perienced as you possibly can.
You will want to wear the up hairStyle and
VOL NAV if your features are not the broad type
and TOUR ears not conspicuous. But when you do
adopt this stle do not have the severe lines that
are SC aging. There are any number OF soft ell
fects that will conform with the new styles ana
still retain the youthful appeal.
Wear ribbon bows; they are smart for the
hair now and may be worn for the daytime coif-
fure, too
The flowers either large or small will be more
flattering for the young face than the Jewels,
however There are some lovely fancy combs and
ornaments, quite appropriate if you like them,
If YOU have a normal skin you may omit the
foundation and apply the powder directly to the
skin but there are new bases now that are mace
up in compact style that you can carry with you'
30 with the little mois: refreshing pads you may
cleanse your face during the day and put on a
new makeup
The brilliant colors call for a healthy glow,
so if you are the pald type, you will need suit
able rouge, but blend it we'll at the edges SO
there will be no outline. Comb the broWs well
and if the lashes are lighter than your hair, brush

DRETTY pointed talk, Penny,
L but you have saved some one
less well informed than yourself
from being swindled if you make
good your threat. The lace
which the peddler is selling
isn't even a good imitation OF
handmade lace and if it were
poor quality real lace, it would
be selling for much more than
the asked price. Real laces are
made by hand by the use OF
many bobbins or by needle and
thread. The bobbin lace can be
very skillfully initiated on the
machine, but the point lace
made by artistically arranging
buttonhole stitches into design
cannot be initiated upon a ma
chine so that an amateur can
not detect the imitation. If the
saleswoman does not have per
init and if the goods she is sell
ing is not as represented she
may be held for fraud.

THE woman who sells Betty
L this wonderful bargain has
a rich brogue and an effective
pathos. Betty doesn't know that
1t may be princess paCCern 4aCe
without being real lace. Many OF
these so-called princess pattern
laces are poor in design and
coarse in quality as well as
made of cotton yarn. The poor
distrcated woman is only one Of
many of a gang against which
the National Better Business
Bureaus have been trying to
warn the public for many years.
Betty kissed her $40 good-by,
for the lace could have been
purchased at most any cheap
store for $1.99 or less.

Personally we like the cotton
dirndl best for the "at-homer."
It has a dressy air but yet is
easily laundered. Particularly
good is a zippered model Gloria
Dickson has been wearing this
summer. White coin dots show
up against a field of Swedish
blue: the Upper is white: and
white cotton lace edges the
puffed sleeves and square neck
line. A matching kerchief pro-
tects the hair and is attractive
at the same time. It's the sort
of thing a girl could wear to the
market and be not at all fused
over meeting an old beau in the
street. Patent leather sandals
with low heels by the way. seem
like good bet for housework be-
cause they are easily whipped
off.

THE morning mail
Il brought in a letter from
a little girl of 13. I'd like to
send a copy of it to every
parent in the United States,
hoping that it may meet the
eyes Of those parents who
destroy the foundations on
which the lives of their chill
dren are built, before these
young lives have fairly
started.
Wants to LeoUe
Her Home
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm so ashamed that I feel
like running away from home
and never coming back any
more. But I suppose a girl of
13, who isn't even in high school,
couldn't make any money. I
read your column every day,
and maybe you can tell me
something I can do. I'd like to
do something too, for my little
brother who is only eight years
old, if I could.
I suppose it's wrong for US
girls in school to brag about
our mothers and fathers and the
nice homes we've got. But all
of us do it, and did it too. We
haven't got a nice home, though
papa makes lot of money, and
mama has awfuly nice clothes.
But mama and papa fuss with
each other all the time and they
won't even stop before people.
Hun1iliated
By Incident
The other night mama let me
invite two girls to supper, be-
cause I'd had a lot of meals at
their two houses. And mama
ordered ice cream, so we'd have
a nice supper. But papa began
to fuss just as soon as we sat
down. He had a bill for some
thing she'd bought at a store,
and said he wasn't going to pay
any bills any more. Some Of
the things were for brother and
me, our shoes and stockings,
and mama joked for a while,
and then she began to cry. I
felt awful sorry for her.
Hard to Imagine
Such a Scene
Papa got up and left the
table, and one Of the girls went
home before we had the ice
cream. And mama took the
other girl and brother and me
to the movies. But the girls
told their mothers and fathers
about the fuss, and I want to go
away.
e Do you know where a girl Of
13 could make any money?
PEGGY.
It seems incomprehenSible
that parents who stage a scene,
such as this little girl described,
don't realize that they're help
ing to lick their children be-
fore they're fairly started. A
man who belittles his wife be-
fore strange children, who can't
get home fast enough to tell
about it, not only gets the
amused comment from the
neighborS who hear the sordid
details but the positive hatred
of his children, who feel them
selves Inundated.
