Lines Important
To Sophisticote

The sophisticate is proud Of her
streamlined figure and reveals it
with a sheath silhouette.
She goes to extAemes always. Her
decolletages will be breath taking.
She will wear fabulous jewels in
the evening with gowns designed
expressly TO set them off.
In the daytime she will wear great
hunks OF costume jewelry.
Her hats will be small and quite
mad, inspired by anything from a
French telephone to a strawberry
basket.
Black is the sop2;sticate standby.
1t may be unrelieveo, ,ile better to
show off some fantistlc line. or it
may be brightened with a brilliant
splash of color.
White Is another tone favored bv
inodernists. And so she uses white.
too. as background for vivid color.
Black with beige is also a sophis-
tlcated scheme, or black with gold,
or purple with magenta.
The stronger the contrast the bet
ter, from her point of view. For
the sophisticate pastels simply do
not exist.
No clinging, diaphanous fabrics
for the sophisticate, because they
make her feel wilted. Definitely
she is not clinging vine.
She likes lacquered surfaces. cire
satin, vividly colored lanes. metallic
embroidery. starched lace, scintillat-
ing pallets and Squins, tweed for
evening wraps.

Dorothy Dix Says
Philanderer Is an Object of Pity
For He Sacrifices EVERYTHING

We were discussing the unfaith-
full husband, which is topic that is
as old as the first marriage and as
new as the last wedding. A woman
who has calm and philosophic face
and weary eyes. said:
Every one sympathiZes with the
wife who has philandering hus-
band, but think he is the one to be
pitied. Take my case, for instance
AS you all know. I am married to a
woman-chaser, who is always in the
midst OF some messy love affair out
of which he frequently extricates
himself with difficulty and danger.
He has lost my love. although 1 once
adored him. His children are
ashamed Of him because they think
he makes himself ridiculous by act
ing like a lovesick boy. Every one
who knows him looks upon him with
contempt. for fat. middle-aged
Romeos are figures of fun instead
of heroes of romance.
When he grows old he will come
crawling back to me. but he will be
an outsider in his own home. and
there will be between us none of
the love and faith and nearness that
husband and wife should have. So
say that l have the best of the bar
gain, because I have the devotion of
my children, the respect of our
friends and acquaintances and the
solace of clear conscience. Believe
me. the philandering husband is
more to be pitied than the forsaken
wife. He throws away so much for
so little"
True, of all of the losing trades
that a man ever makes with the
devil. the one in which he gets the
worst end of the bargain is when
he exchanges loyalty to his wife for
eXtramarital love adventures.
For every one of us knows that
the finest, cleanest happiness that
ever comes to us lies in our domes-
tic relationships. The poorest man

Svelte figure. pale features, large
eyes. extreme coiffures.
This lady has a foreign favor,
mysterious and Oriental. She is
apt to be an actress or a fashion
model or some one who has wanted
to be either or both. She. like the
sophisticate, adores night life.
She enjoys being looked at and
she usually looks like the popular
conception of an international spy.
The French do special dresses
for this type, whom they call the
femme fatale.
The exotic will never wear sports
clothes or suits. Her day begins
at noon.
And she never wears simple
dresses, but costumes complete with

BY ANGELO PATRI.

Shouts, giggles, stamping of feet,
thumpings. scramblings, laughter
and the sound of the front door
opening. The children home from
school bringing, as usual, four or
five others along.
Ma, here we are. Something for
us to eat? We're hungry as a pack
of wolves. We had fun today. Miss
Marie let us make up a game and
it was lots of fun. Hurry up, Ma
we're going to the attic to play
and make up a club-if it's all right
with you?'
1t is all right with Ma. and the
youngsters, all about II or II, boys
and girls, eat their sandwiches and
hurry up the stairs, all talking at
once.
Now what should I do?" asks
Ma. TRY to give them a program,
supervise their games, try to organ
ize them and their play? They
change from one thing to another
so fast. Now a club, but the club
won't be formed, most likely. They'll
be off on another track before they
come downstairs again. What's
best to do with them?"
Leave them alone 1t is great
good luck for them to have the
attic, to have the home that well
comes other children. to have the
kind of ma that smiles on the
noisy crew and sends them off to
a happy hour of association and
fun.
Children of this age are only be-
ginning to organize their thinking
1t is only a number of months,
scarcely years, since they began to
organize their thoughts sufficiently
to put them into sentences. They
are cropping now toward organized
play, team work, social co-opera-
ton. We cannot hurry that, and
no good would come of it If we did
That sort of association that sort

Well-meaning parents and teach
ers sometimes take such groups in
hand and make them do, some
definite bit of work such as put

When that is done the children are

they have not. of themselves, ar

selves to the teacher, or the leader,
for the time being. They will go

their own selves are still standing
and carry them on, under their own
power.
This looks wasteful. and disor-
derly. and childish. to the anxious

and the only way of growth. We

two bedroom doors and one to
