The Right Ingredients

Here is a room recipe for the en-
trance hall for a Colonial house. If
1t is quite small, as Colonial en-
frances often are, the lower part of
the wall may be paneled with vertical
boards painted a cleaning white
while the upper walls are coated a
soft creamy yellow. This serves as
a good background for colored prints,
landscapes, old maps and pictures of
historical figures. A pair Of ma
hogany ladder-back chairs and a
Chippendale card table may be
added. Above the table may be
hung mirror framed in mahogany
The woodwork and wooden spin
dies OF the staircase may be painted
white while the handrail and newell
post are stained a brown mahogany
wood tone. The floor may be the
color of a rich sherry mahogany

rugs in which there are bright flower
designs in vermilion, blue-green and

Dorothy Dix Says
Dowry Excellent Preventative
For Unhappiness in Marriage

scorned it, our men boasting that
they were not fortune hunters and
our parents crying out that they
didn't have to give prizes with their
daughters to get them married. In
reality. in no other country in the
world is the dowry system so needed
as it is with us.
Because we raise our girls with
extravagant tastes and habits that
very few young men are able to meet
when they marry. We do not lay up
anything for our daughters futures.
We put it all on their backs as they
go along, and so when Mary and
Sally marry they have a lot of tat
tered finery instead OF little nest
egg in the bank.
There are thousands Of girls who,
from their infancy up, have been
INDUCED in every luxury. They have
had expensive clothes. They have
gone to schools that cost small for
tunes. They have had trips abroad.
They have had their own cars. And
when they got married they had
show weddings. But all of these ex-
travagances had cost their fathers
every cent they could rake and
scrape, and they had absolutely
nothing, not a dollar, to give their
daughters for dowry. And the girl
who had been accustomed to feast
ing on cakes and ale couldn't stand
it when their poor young husbands
could give them only bread and
cheese and kisses. And so there was
the inevitable disappointment and
friction and divorce.
Certainly it is only fair to a girl
and her future husband for her
father to provide her with a dowry
that will support the tastes he has
cultivated in her. 1t is common
thing now for parents to take out an
insurance policy when their babies
are born that will insure them an
education. Why not extend the
same system to providing dowries
for girls? 1t would save a lot Of un-
happiness and divorce.

How to PLAY
With Other
Children )
Interfere in Fight
Only if Arms
Are in Use
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Hans is past 2, the only child in
the family so far. This is the first
time he has been allowed to play
with other children and he is not
doing as well as his mother expected.
With her he Is the best of children,
obeying cheerfully, playing games
happily, amusing himself alone for
hours. With the other children he
Is quite different.
Don't you want to take out your
wagon? You could haul those little
cars of yours in it instead of carry
ing them" suggests his mother, see
ing him with his arms piled high
with tiny cars which he loves.
mo, the kids will use it. I'm 60
ing to play with the cars" In a few
minutes there are sounds of battle.
Mother rushes out, the mothers of
other children appear in doorways
and windows. Hans pinched a
piece out of me-" walls his victim.
Hans says nothing. He has turned
his back on his friends and Is busy
with his cars, to which he has added
those of the others if they happened
to have had any.
Now Hans mother is weary of this.
She knows that the other mothers
are about out of patience and that
soon the neighbor children will be
withdrawn from Hans presence. His
mother is ashamed of the boys be-
havior, she fears his isolation; the
only thing she can do now to prove
her rightness to the other mothers,
and to save her boys place for him,
is to spank him. This she does with
out effect. Next day it is the same
story with variations. He slaps, bites,
scratches and pinches according to
his impulse. What now?
Don't spank him. Take him into
the house the instant he shows his
cloven hoof. Don't talk beyond say
ing, Its too bad. You don't know
how to play without hurting some
body. Stay by yourself" and leave
him, without anything to play with,
without anybody to speak to, until
the isolation brings understanding
of its cause. That takes anywhere
from an hour to a couple of days.
Then try him again, and keep on
with this routined training until he
gets by this difficult place. You see
he has never had the experience of
playing with other children. 1t re-
quires give and take that he knows
nothing about. When his mother
plays with him he always gets, never
gives. He cannot lose. But when
he plays with children it is every one
for himself. At this age that must
be so. Little children play as indi-
viduals, not as group.
Occasionally the inexperienced lit
tie one gets himself slapped by one
of the others. When that happens
don't interfere. Let him hold his
own and slap back. Interfere only
If the combatants take to arms. No
sticks, no shovels, no weapons are to
be used. Otherwise they are to be
left to fight it out and learn of each
other the secret of cooperation, So
cial compulsion. They have to learn
that and the time is the present.
Children who are members OF a
family group rarely have this trou-
BILE. Brothers and sisters are not
shy about protecting their belong
ings, their rights and privileges, and
soon learn to adjust themselves to
the group. It Is the single child who
needs to be introduced to his neigh
bors, and early.

to full-length coat that comes to
the hem Of her dress-or possibly
just a bit above. The box coat runs
about 80 to AZ inches long, but the
straight box coat with back fullness
may be full length, seven-eighths
or three-quarters. Incidentally, this
back fullness is one of the newest
and smartest treatments. The front
is straight and smooth and the back
has a swing effect that may be pro-
nounced or not.
The fitted coat, with indented
waistline, is not yet a leader, al
though it shows definite possibili-
ties. The tiny waistline is often
emphasized by means of a wide fab
ric or suede belt. Incidentally, rib
bons and fabric are being used ex-
tensively and we've even seen some
short jackets tied at the neck with
bright colored ribbon. However, in
past years fur dealers have found
themselves with about 500 belts on
their hands at the end Of the sea-
son, for women have refused to use
them. This year, however, with the
vogue for slimming waists, the story
may be a different one. Speaking
with one buyer we discovered that
the extremely fitted coat is not yet

best in small Sizes" he explained.
Right now, however, we are SELL
ing 95 per cent swagger types"
Short Jacket Has the
Interest of Public.
Chubby jackets are selling like
the proverbial hot cakes at this
moment. In every type of fur
imaginable, they are a delight to the
purchaser and a headache to the fur
dealers. The reason is that jacket
which looks we'll on one woman will
probably look horrible on the next
one, for the difference in lengths
makes each of them suitable to a
certain type. Consequently, when
Mary, who is feet 2, wants a
particular fur jacket she finds that
it has been made with Agnes, a 5
foot 8 lady, in mind. However,
the problem is actually a small one,
for the great variety of jackets in
all lengths offers an opportunity for
every woman to have the type she
desires :. incidentally, all price
ranges are to be found in these
jackets as we'll as all furs.
The story of furs at this moment
Is so exciting that it is impossible
to put it all down in one time

connected with silhouette and de-
failing. In order to present a COM

the coats to be seen when winter
arrives-and judging from appear
ances they will be we'll worth seeing.
There are three very definite sill
houettes on the scene this year.
First, and still the favorite, the
swagger or boxy coat. You will find
variations in it this season, and
note that it has more fullneSS than
last year but not as much as two
years ago. At that time, you will
remember, we all looked vaguely
like miniature balloons, so it is g
relief to find fullness in a coat that
does not make us look billoWy. Sec
ond basic silhouette is the coat with
the swing back, either a definite
swing effect or merely suggested
one. And last is the new darling
of fashion-the fitted, indented
waisthne model that is still more or
less an extreme mode.
Detailing Done in
Excellent Manner
The manner in which pelts are
worked is really most amazing, and ir
addition the attention to details on
these new coats gives them a look
of perfection that was once linn
tied to very expensive types. In
terest centers about the shoulders
which are still squared but in
clined to be more narrow, with
sleeves set higher to give trim
line. Collars are small, and al
though we have heard a great deal
about the new shorter sleeves which
permit us to wear long gloves and
heavy bracelets, it seems apparent
that the majority of women regard
this idea as strictly high fashion
and prefer the regular length

the same lines we have been hearing
about shorter lengths, but Mrs

to play safe by cooking the chicken

The national consultant of the
Parents and Teachers Association
advocates the revival of the old
fashioned dowry for girls as solu-
ton for our domestic troubles and
as the only way to stop the increase
in divorce.
Certainly it would do a lot to
stabilize the home for every girl
to come to her husband with a dow
ry. For one thing. she would be
putting money In the business. That
would give her standing as a real
partner in 1t and make her husband
feel that she had some right to its
profits and perquisites, and that he
wasn't being noble and generous
every time he gave her new pair
of stockings. And it would make
the wife feel lot more responsible
for the prosperity of the home if
her own money was tied up in it.
Furthermore, for the wife to pos
sess some money of her own changes
the attitude of the husband and
wife to each other. 1t isn't human
for any of us not to be little con-
descending and arrogant toward
those who are dependent on us. This
spirit creeps even into marriage and
makes the most liberal and devoted
husband treat a penniless wife with
a trifie less consideration than he
would show one who had her own
money.
Also, if the husband is lacking in
the finer qualities of manhood,
wife's only protection is her pocket

Strange indeed is the way we at
tach names to natures children
am thinking of the common name,
not the scientific one. Here is an
example. The mother or father is
known as the royal moth, or the
RECALLS, and their offspring are called
"hickory horned devils" The husky
caterpillars look fearsome enough,
and they seem able to do business
when they rear up and hold that
position for a long time. But they
are as harmless as can be, and very,
very handsome.
Showing a preference for walnut
leaves, this caterpillar has been
referred to as the royal walnut moth.
1t is at this time you may be
fortunate enough to find one of the
buxom caterpillars preparing for its
winter retreat. If so, you should

spring before the walnut tree puts
forth her leaves, or shortly after
would be the wisest thing to do, so
that food may be ready when the
young devils" arrive.
During the late spring the royal
moth and her consort are out on
parade, looking for hickory,
persimmon, butternut, or walnut
tree upon which to settle their
family.
The wings of the moths are in
exquisite browns, yellows and mauves.
The large body is covered with a
dainty fur coat, and on the head of
the male is pair of feathery
antennae.
The eggs are amber -colored and
are the largest moth eggs you will
find. Under magnifying glass, you
may see their facets.
About the middle of July they will
hatch. They are black babies, and
have horns and spines in abundance.
The horns are tipped with a tiny
spined ball which disappears when
the birthday skins are discarded.
These caterpillars march with meas
ured tread, all horns erect, toward
the leaves. In short time they are
uncomfortably snug, and must rest
a day. and fast, so the old skins may
be cast. You may think all those
horns and spines would present a
problem when the shedding process
is to be enacted, but it is quite
simple, assure YOU What you are
not prepared for is-the cater
