Manners
of the
Moment

A hostess should never be so FORE
handed as to be able to provide ev-
cry piece of equipment for every
sport that she goes in for. Some
times she should remember the
guests have deliberately forgotten
their tennis rackets or their swim
suits because they were looking for
an excuse to sit by and watch. 1t
may be disconcerting to the guest
to have her hostess come smilingly
out Of the house triumphantly bear
ing an extra tennis racket or an ex-
ira bathing suit.
A friend of mine recently spent
a week end in the country, and was
told to bring her bathing suit. But
she hates to swim, and hates the
water, and decided that her best
escape would be to forget her suit.
This she did But her hostess was
not to be downed. Il have one that
will be just your size" she said, and
thrust it upon my friend. And, OF
course, my friend had to 60 in the
water, when she would much rather
nave sat in chair under an UNI
brella. She said there was lovely
chair there all the time that she
was suffering in the pool. And it
was empty, too. JEAN.

IncOnsiderate
Child Is Not
Welcome
Really Bad Home
Manners Most
Unnecessary
BY ANGELO PATRI.

I'll gladly have Mary's children
here for the summer, but I simply
can't stand having Johns here again
Last summer they almost killed me.
They aren't housebroken in the
least. Somebody else can take care
Of them this year. Not me"
Whats the matter with them,
mother?"
They're not housebroken, I tell
you. In summer there is no carpet
on the stairs. They raced up and
down those stairs hundred times
day with their heavy shoes, and the
noise was awful. They seldom shut q
door behind them, and if they did
they shook the house with the slam
of it. They had no bathroom man.
ners. They only dipped their hands
and then wiped them on the nearest
towel. They couldn't be shown the
difference between using their own
towels and other folks.
They dropped anything they used
where they were. All day it was q
hunt for this sweater, that ball, this
tool or that book until I thought
I'd 60 out of my mind with the dis
order and the confusion.
"Mary's children were not so bad
They seldom shouted In the house
| seldom pounded up and down the
stairs. Once in a while they put
something where it belonged, and
you could teach them. They would
stand still long enough to listen. Not
the others. After they went home !
went to bed. Why can't children be
taught to behave in the house,"
There are such things as house
manners, and children should be
trained to observe them. There is no
need for slamming doors or pound
ing up and down the stairs. The chill
dren can move lightly and softly
without being suppressed in the
least. Chewing gum is not to be
stuck on the chair or window sills.
1t is not to be dropped in the sinks.
Bouncing on chairs and beds Is not
allowed. Shouting in the house is
unthinkable.
Bathroom manners are important.
Children who are big enough to wipe
a wash bowl should do so immedi-
ately after using it. Towels are per-
sonal things and must be kept 50.
So are toothbrushes, toilet water and
powder. Each should use his own
and leave the others strictly alone.
Teach children when leaving q
room to turn and look behind them
to make sure they are not leaving
anything belonging to them on chairs
or tables or floor. If they are, they
must go back and put it where 1t
properly belongs People who scat@
ter personal belongings over the
house are a nuisance.
This all sounds complicated AND
harsh and too much, but If 1t is
spread over a child's learning years
it is nothing and it means all the
difference to him Of being liked or
disliked, wanted or Stunned. Nobody
wants a noisy, disorderly, inconsid-
crate person in the house; and the
most kindhearted grandmother in
the world will shut her door against
e''ch one.

Dorothy Dix Says
Mother May Be Unintentional
Handicap to Young Daughter

determined to keep her daughter
pure and unspotted from the world
that she makes her virtual prisoner
thinks she is only doing her duty
and protecting her little lamb. She
never dreams that in cutting her of
from all association with young peo-
pie she is predestining her to be an
old maid.
The mother who doesn't let her
adolescent daughter go to parties or
have any boy friends or let any lad
cross the doorsill, and who thinks
that no girl should be allowed to
step out before she Is 30, believes
that she is taking the right step to
keep her from getting into any
foolish young love affair. She doesn' t
know that when she locks the door
on Sally, Sally climbs out of the
window, and that the way to make
girl boy crazy is to make them
forbidden fruit.
The only thing girl can do who
has the too-attractive mother who
is a perpetual handicap to her is to
get away from her and thus stop
the inevitable comparison between
them. Remove the competition.
1t makes a homely girl 10 times
homelier if she has mother who
is still raving beauty at 40. 1t is
still worse for her if mother is one
of those women who have that
subtle and mysterious gift of nature
that makes every man between the
cradle and the grave get up and fol-
low her, while daughter hasn't q
vestige of "oomph" in her whole
composition and has to work like a
coal HEAVIER to get a second glance
from even a callow schoolboy or a
senile grandpa.
Furthermore, it is undeniable that
the daughter who knows herself in
ferior to her mother is always at
her worst in her mothers presence.
Mother cramps her style. She can't
put her best foot foremost when
mother Is around. She can't show of
her little arts and graces and prac-
tice her little artifices before mother
because she is made self conscious
knowing how much better mother
could do it. She can't even talk in
mothers hearing because she knows
how much cleverer mother can tell
story or make a wise-crack than
she can. And so her only salvation
is for her to get off where she won't
have to be compared with her
fascinating parent.

Other reversible styles are seen in
skirts and blouses. We were much
impressed to see skirt and blouse
outfit which was plain on one side
and checked on the other, and could
be reversed to provide two complete
outfits. Nicely finished on either
side with contrasting buttons, the
blouse is we'll made and practical.
The skirt is attached to q plain
bodice and the blouse worn out
side.
Speaking of checks, we have found
them prominent In all the school
styles this fall. Dresses with
checked boleros are attractive, and
checked skirts worn with sweaters
are favorite. Incidentally, from
what we've seen, even the young fry
want their sweaters extremely plain.
There are many with fancy neck
lines, but the general choice follows
college ideas.
Tweed Suits are Good
Purchases Now.
Especially in the teen-age styles
do tweed suits seem outstanding.
They are an excellent choice for the
first days of Junior high school and
come in really suitable styles. Little
velvet collars help to make them
young looking. Worn for fall,
they offer a variety of changes,
and the skirts are perfect all through
the winter. Even the entire suit
may be worn under coats. Velve-
teen jackets are another good in
vestment and they seem to last in
definitely. These, too, are a cur
rent favorite. Other styles, approved
by Good Housekeeping, include wool
skirts with velveteen suspenders in
contrasting colors, and these worn
with a sweater which carries out
one of the shades in the skirt. are
enough to make any girl the center
Of all eyes.
No bid has been overlooked by the
designers who provide new and
fashionable clothes for the young
set. Even the hats have a modified
hustle effect and we recently saw
some that had the longer line in
back-a most important millinery
trend for fall. Berets, of course, are
still among our favorites, and if
you'll look closely you'll see that
they're being done for mother as
we'll as daughter.
All in all. the children's wear pic-
ture for winter is a most interesting
one Even if you're not sending any
kiddies back to school this fall, it
wouldn't be bad idea to look about
in the local stores. You'll probably
see something that Cousin Mable's
little girl couldn't live without, and
we wouldn't be too surprised if you
got some ideas for your own. ward

clothes are so smart, so up to the
minute and so crammed full of col
lege influence, that it's no wonder
we say youngsters of today really
have all the advantages.
Their clothes, and we're speak
ing of the youngest ladies modes,
are directly inspired by campus fash
ions. For instance. looking around
in the teen-age and girls depart
ments of some of our shops we
discovered any number of things
that have been boosted and Dragged
about in college circles. Plaids are
tremendous. They're done in every
thing. including coats, dresses, skirts
and hats. Plaid skirts are shown
with plain jackets and vice versa,
and the ABC brigade has certainly
gone in for mixing their colors with
a lavish and yet fashion,
hand. Plaid jumper dresses are good
when worn with simple but smart
little blouses and cotton dresses that
look like wool are both interesting
and practical.
Reversible Coats
Very Popular.
The college girls enthusiasm for
reversible coats is reflected in these
departments, too. In full length or
short jacket styles, this idea is well
carried out and some of the smart
est are, of course, plaid wool on one
side and natural camels hair on
the other. Many are hooded, an
other reflection of older taste. These
have become very popular lately for
they are extremely becoming to all
ages and provide plenty of warmth.
OF course. it doesn't hurt little
sisters feelings that she has coat
like the big girls, either. Neverthe-
less, to our minds this is one of
the smartest styles to be adopted
by school girls of any age for it Of
fers variety of costume without too
much expense. Practically two coats
in one, and that's help to the
budget.

corners so that it will fit we'll and he
can unzip them himself. There are
many inexpensive cotton materials
that would be fine for this and which

I should like to change the color
OF the paper and am wondering if
a lemon-yellow paper would do in
the hall and the living room, since
these rooms could use more light
The dining room has sufficient light.
What color paper do you suggest
use there? Would you leave the
woodwork IN the ivory or change its
color?
r. S. s.
Answer
I like your idea for the yellow
walls, but would suggest that you
get buttrr yellow rather than the
cooler lemon shade. It is a real
sunshine color. Why not use a fig
ured paper in the dining room, a
gay hand-blocked effect either on a
yellow ground or with enough yell
low in it to tie it up with the living
room? With the plain rugs and
plain curtains this would pep it up
considerably. The ivory will 60 very
we'll with your yellow, but if you
do change it, tint it just a shade
lighter than your paper.

There is stone mantel at the end
Of our living room which seems too
tall and heavy. 1t is 4 feet 3a
inches tall, S feet IN inches wide,
topped by a stone slab feet long,
3la inches deep and II inches wide.
The room is 18 feet inches long by
II feet 6 inches wide. On either
side of the mantel is single case
ment window, the frames of which
are about S inches lower than the
top Of the mantel Would it help
to lower the stone slab to the level
Of the window frames? Or would
1t be IN better taste to replace the
stone top for something less heavy
looking? If so, what do you suggest?
S. R. S.
Answer-Whenever you start to
tear out stone masonry it is both
expensive and messy and I cannot
see in this instance that the few
inches gained would have enough
meaning to warrant the time, ex-
pense and trouble. A wooden mantel
top might be installed, but it would
seem most inadequate above such
mass of stone. Here are two sug-
gestions: Admit that you have a
massive stone fireplace and place on
the shelf above it brilliant and in
teresting porcelain, pottery or any
thing else you have that is bright
in color and simple in form Hang
around the opening of the fireplace
copper and brass utensils and small
pots and pans, even colored gourds
and red peppers, anything that is
colorful, interesting and that will
make your fireplace look as though
you built it that way. Do anything
you can to build up to this idea in
the rest of the room. Plan No.
