Answer-You are only % and have
probably long life before you. You
can't spend the years that lie be-

to stand that and so you had best

the flower, with eight petals: Chi
nese insects, birds and cloud forms;
cruciforms with each arm termi-
mating in a flower. The tree of life
in the prayer rugs and the Chinese
fret, in some forms, is always
present.
Borders in Samarkands are
equally clear in characteristics.
They are wide in proportion to
the field, Chinese borders being mar
rover and of less Importance. The
stripes are usually three in num-
ber, rarely more. Each stripe is
edged by a band of plain solid
color, which is often pink. In these
borders, there are four or five pat
terms, one or more of which is sure
to be found in an authentic Sam
arkand-D the swastika, in a run
ming pattern; CD a lotus design,
with three flowers on a stem: 90
a curious running vine device: a.
the Chinese fret; 90 the barber
pole pattern.
Color Scheme
Very Gay.
The ground color is usually in
one tone of Bokhara red or mad
der; Chinese yellow appears con-
spicuously in the pattern or border
stripes, with soft tan color. blue and
white. In some the field is blue,
tan or gray upon which the pattern
stands out boldly in contrasting yel-
lows, reds and blues. Samarkands
are gay-in comparison to the SOM
ber Bokharas.
The weaving tends to be soft and
loose, the Selma knot is used, but
the knots are not pressed close to-
gether, and the warp is visible at
the back. Very few Samarkands
so years old survive. Their loose
weave makes them perishable in
comparison to some other rugs. The
modern ones, though not as excellent
in color as the old ones, are still
lovely, and lend themselves especially
well to lady's drawing room, bed
room or any room in which the
color scheme has been planned
around the rugs. Pale yellow walls
to repeat the soft yellow of the
carpet with mauve hangings to bring
out the pink tones would suit the
Samarkand to perfection. A room
with soft gray walls and accessories
of deep pinks, lavenders and petunia
shades would also provide a lovely
setting.
There is much taking" done to
antique" Samarkands to meet the
demand for soft old color. Examine
before you buy with the aid of a
reputable dealer, 50 that you do not
acquire, without knowing it, a rug
whose colors are washed and doc
tored, whose sheen is applied by the
use of glycerin, and whose apparent
age is the result Of having been
buried. Examine all good and bad
points by the clear light of day.

years old. Have been married three
years and have baby. I had gone
out with my husband two years be-
fore we were married and he treated
me like a lady in every re-
spect. Was kind and considerate
and never displayed any temper. But
as soon as we were married he be-
came different person. While We
were still on our honeymoon he
struck me and ever since he has
been beating me when he felt like
it. When the baby cries he spanks
her brutally. spoke to his mother
about 1t and she says that his father
has treated her the same way, and
his brothers beat their wives, and
that I would be better OF without
him. But what can I do? I have
no one to turn to. My parents are
dead and have no close relatives
I have no trade or profession and
only three and one-half years of

Alexander the Great, captured by
the Arabs in 712 AID, annexed by
the Chinese Empire and then fell
into the hands of the conquering
hero, Tamerlane, who made it his
capital and throne city. Tanner
lanes father was Mongol chieftain
and soon Chinese craftsmen and
tradition took firm root in the old
city, already permeated with the
legends of Turkey and Persia.
Those were wonderful days, when
palaces were built and adorned with
the most priceless works of art.
Later, the conquest of Bagdad
brought more artists to the city
and the merging of Chinese crafts
manship and design with the ex-
quisite color and floral motifs of
Persia created masterpieces of the

DEAR MISS DIX: Do you think
that a mother of three girls should
call her husband daddy She
claims that she never had father
after she was years old and that
is why she calls him daddy" in
stead of by his first name.
WONDERING.
Answer: Many women call theil
husbands daddy" as many men call
their wives mother" after they have
children see nothing objection
able in it. On the contrary. I think
that the use of pet names in the
family circle is rather q tender
and endearing custom, though one
must admit that it very easily runs
into the ludicrous, as, alas, babies
have a way Of growing up and get
ting gray-haired and old, and pity
sings" turn into two-flsted he-men
with boards and bay windows.
Perhaps, after all, it is safest to
stick to plain John and Mary.

Glanor0us Throne
Is Very Hard to
Hold for Long

BY JOAN FORTUNE and NORTON
HUGHES JONATHAN.
It's thrilling, of course, to be head
man or queen Of the prom-but
there's no such thing as perpetual
rule when it comes to staying on top.
Thrones are mighty shaky these
days!
They aren't all-important, either
Some of the grandest people we
know will never attempt to balance
themselves precariously on one.
They're far too interested in other,
more important things to try.
All of them realize that you're the
hero of the basket ball season only
until somebody outscores you. If
you're girl, you rule the stag line
only until some belle with q newer
line" and husky, low voice comes
along. They've seen 1t happen often.
A hero in February and an "also
ran" in March. The belle of to-
nights ball-the flower on tomor-
rows wall. Being king of the hill
is nerve -racking and seldom the
fun it's supposed to be.
Do you remember when Betty was
the most-talked-about girl in school?
Almost everything she did was good
for cat-chat, or paragraph in the
school gossip column.
She visited her cousin abroad one
summer and returned with a tricky
accent, carefully acquired and pain
fully practiced, and a new way of
looking wide-eyed at boys which
made them swarm after her like
small fry following an ice cream
wagon. She didn't play fair and
made most of the girls want to
scratch, but that didn't flag her
train-not for a while.
Betty was the first girl in school
to acquire a stylish, up-swept hair
do. She was the first to wear pounds
of "junk" jewelry >. And how she
was rushed at dances! Dozens of
partners and never more than a
few steps with each one. Every
partner seemed eager for more-for
a while. She went to one football
dance with the whole team. She was
the darling Of every stag line.
But the popularity crown slipped
off Betty's dizzily piled curls. The
boys in her crowd got tired of COM
peting with the football team, the
swimming squad, the basket ball
squad, the Army, the Navy, and the
Marines-to say nothing of assorted
fraternity presidents and prom
chairmen. They got tired of pro-
viding good times for Betty and hav-
ing her monopolize all the fun. Bet
tvs popularity wave petered out.
-. And remember Hank? He was
the fellow with the shiny new road
ster and the smooth clothes. He
could dance like Fred Astaire, and
he had way Of looking at q girl
which made her heart 60 over the
jumps-for a while.
But the gang got his number. too,

throne for only few hectic weeks.
He was awfully conceited and didn't t
have q brain cell working most of
the time. Hank went the way of
Betty. Selfish, conceited males don't
wear well-and it's not much fun to
date q vacuum.
Both Betty and Hank possessed a
special talent for getting attention.
A trick Of personality made them
king and queen for q short time.
They had no really important gen.
uine qualities.
Most of their admired personality
was . pose or . mere accident. They
didn't make real friends because
they didn't know how and were too
self,sh to want to learn. They had
nothing to give Or share.

lily and casually, you can show back
that will make you the envy of every
thin woman in the room.
13. Wear large accessories.
They help to dwarf large figures.
But never wear long necklace.
And speaking of necklines, they
can help most constructively to level
out a dowager's hump at the back
of the neck.
Fill in the hollow above the bump
with strands Of pearls or an Egyp-
tian fiat collar necklace.
Or wear a cut-out decolletage that
covers the hump but reveals your
back below it.
IA. Wear your furs tuxedo FASH

Both your fur scarfs and the fur
on your coat will be much more
f1attering worn vertically than swirl
ing around your shoulders.

On this joyous occasion, even the
slenderest woman must take a few
hints from our discussion of the
plump figure.
Also, she must consider the ten
dency toward a temporary hin
spread which is particularly notice.
able in the back.
But all this can be camouf1aeed
adroitly as follows:
i. Stick to dark colors,
2. Avoid shiny. or sparkling
fabrics.
8. Never wear a complete belt.
4. Concentrate color, orna.
ments, etc, at the neck and
wrists.
S. Wear jackets or capes that
match the costume.
Contrasting ones cut the figure
awkwardly.
, 3. Have your cloth jackets cut
In box fashion, your fur ones
chunky to balance the figure.
Z. Wear high or v necklines.
The high ones will give YOU
height.
The VS. will accent the neckline
which is one of your best points at
this time.
8. Wear lavish furs to balance
the figure.
8. Wear diagonal lines.
Ihey distract the eye-surplice
necks, of course.
AND we have even seen a black
wool suit whose white pin stripes
ran diagonally across the skirt. It
was worn with great success when
masked by a long flowing coat.
lO. Wear swagger coats and
suits swinging full from the
shoulders.
IL. Wear dresses with intricate
drapery.
Twist it at the waist so it will fall
In graceful panel down the front,
IL. Wear trains or back panels.
A1ave them gored in at the hips
to fall in folds that mask the rear
view.
i3. Wear interesting sleeves.
Great, full, medieval ones on din
ner gowns will balance the figure.
Drapery that falls in cape FASH
ion over the shoulder to form the
sleeve will broaden the shoulders.
IA. Wear hats that are tall or
broad or both.
They will give height or balance
the figure or both.
Is. Wear low-heeled, but In
teresting shoes.
16. Wear your hair piled high
to give you height.
Then 60 ahead and go about.
Instead of sitting at home with
