Display of Smart
Styles Heralds
Fall Season
BY HELEN VOGT.

Even If 1t weren't for increasingly
cool days, football tickets and the
calender, this department would
still know that fall has arrived. The
secret lies in the swarm of invita-
tions to style shows that come to
this desk, for in true autumn spirit
the fashion displays have started
Last week we went to something
novel in the way of a fashion show
At least it was novel to us, and
the audience seemed to find it so,
too. 1t was a radio program of
fashions and hair styles, broadcast
for the benefit of the unseen audi
ence; displayed for the benefit of
those in the studio. Under the di-
rection Of Miss Marjorie King. who,
not at all incidentally. is quite a
fashion plate herself, the program
is presented by Philipsborn's. Last
Wednesday, the clothes from foun-
dation garments to silver fox furs
were designed for the larger, more
mature woman. A demonstration of
their personal analysis plan was an
other interesting feature when prac-
ticed on a member of the studio
audience. Apparently, the weekly
shows, called Glamour Time" are
attracting great deal of favorable
comment.
Then, the next day we toured
down to Woodward & Lothrop's to
see their usual excellent fashion
parade. About 125 costumes were
displayed before an audience that
seemed to like them very well, thank
you. Interesting, too, was the fact
that they divided the clothes into
five groups: Schoolgirl, careerist or
executive; young marrieds, young
forties and debutante. To our mind
which at this moment is overrun
with trends and motifs, the most
significant thing was the emphasis
on Victorian modes, including the
hustle, ornate fabrics and trimmings
and a general air of luxury and
formality. The finale, composed OF
three fashioned costumes and
titled yesterday Lives Again." only
served to remind us how far into
the past we've dipped for today S
styles. Our favorite dress? A high
necked, long sleeved dinner gown
of gray rayon jersey with a full
skirt faring from a low waistline
and the most beautiful necklace of
gold"
Dramatic styles in the world of
furs were brought forth last night
when Zirkin's presented a fur show
that really couldn't be beat for style
and beauty. All the newest motifs
and silhouettes were displayed and
if you've seen any furs this season
you know how spectacular they can
be. Highlight of the show, as far
as lavishness was concerned, was
the presentation of a full-length
ermine evening coat with 4 train
We're envious, too.

Be Too Rough for
Younger Child
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Dy I1ANoGAo i "A VtAs
Buddy is rough and tough little
lad who adores his little baby sister
He falls upon her with lusty affec-
ton and knocks the breath out of
her. He carries his treasured box
Of blocks and lays them on her
stomach with all the vigor of his IS
pounds. He grabs her round the
neck and squeezes her hard. Mother
is in constant fear and dread for
the baby's life.
why does he want to hurt hts
little sister? He says he loves her.
but the next minute he is hurting
her"
He does love her and he is doing
the best to tell her So Thumps
and whacks and shoves and punches
are his gestures of Affection He
has no idea of hurting the child
He thinks he is being especially
affectionate.
You see, his muscles are not under
control. His emotions charge them
with load too heavy for their
development. He Is rough when ne
most wants to be gentle. You must
know that he does not understand
much about gentleness, nor rough
ness. They are words to him, no
more. He feels a warmth of affec-
ton sweep over him as he sees little
sister beaming upon him. He tries
to express it and gets into trouble.
The only thing you can do with ilim
is to hold him at a distance; watch
between him and the baby; keep
shooing him into gentleness. Take
his hand and lay it gently on the
baby's hand and say, This way"
There are little brothers who
mean to be rough. Sometimes they
are jealous of their baby brothers
and sisters. The difference between
their actions and those of the affec-
tionate children is clear. The little
brother who brings a toy spade
down hard on his little sisters head,
or who pushes his little brother
head over heels and then snaacks
him hard with whatever comes
handy, means to hurt.
This child has to be isolated for
a while after he does such things
Make the isolation long enough to
cause him to remember it, and long
enough for him to feel how lonely
life is without his brothers and
sisters.
Don't slap or shake or shout at
rough children. Be unusually gentle
of voice and manner in dealing with
them. Take them aside and tell
them that they cannot be with the
other children and hurt them. They
must 60 someplace else and stay
alone. Give them something to play
with, some occupation for body and
mind so they do not get into worse
state by being thrown back upon
their worst selves. Keep them, busy.
but keep them apart.
We must be careful about slapping
or shaking such a child because he
is already inclined to violence. He
thinks that what grownup people
do must be the right way to do.
They slap and shake and hurt him
when they are angry, so that is the
right way to do when he is angry.
Set an example of gentleness ard,
in time, he will follow it.
All little children go through this
stage of direct force in emergency,
and at that stage they live in a
state of emergency. Time and
teaching helps them to leave it
behind.

Dorothy Dix Says
Constantly Complaining Wives
Drive Away Husbands Love

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-Is there
any way to please wife? My wife
complains about my silence in the
home, but when I try to talk she
contradicts everything I say and
gets into an argument over the SIM
plest statement. When I try to tell
story, she tells me that it is old;
that she has heard it before. When
I try to discuss any subject, she in
terrupts me In the midst of It, and
II I don't pick up the broken thread
of thought after the interruption
she demands to know: who do you
think you are that everybody should
be quiet when you speak?" When I
drive the car she tells me every turn
and every stop, to speed up or slow
down, and wants to know why in
the world did I take whatever road
I am on, until it takes all the pleas
ure out of driving. Yet she flies up
in fury if I suggest that she take
the wheel. I learned long ago that
all other women except her relatives
and chosen few of her friends are
taboo in my conversation. I
wouldn't dare to tell her that I had
taken my grandmother out to lunch.
She complains continually that
don't take her out enough, but
when I do all I hear is criticism.
She always blames me for the
weather, for the play, for the re-
staurant, for the people we meet,
and apparently there is never any
thing that she enjoys. I have no
hope of ever changing her, but may
be this letter will warn some other
woman to treat her husband de-
Gently If she wants to retain his
affection: to give him a break if
she wants him to talk; to grant him
the privilege of silence without TAX
ing it as personal affront; to avoid
subjects on which there is an honest
difference of opinion, and, above all,
not to make his family and his
friends a target for her abuse just
because they are his friends.

them. These pieces bridge the gap
between modern and traditional
furniture, so that the whole effect is
harmonious.
Colors and Fabrics
Are Interesting.
In the furniture displays you will
also be very much interested in
the colors and new fabrics. These
are so closely designed with the
furniture in mind that the two are
almost inseparable. Wall paper and
accessories also seem very new.
There is crispness and shine about
everything. The new finishes on
wood are almost CLASSY, which is rea-
sonable now that they are practi-
cally scarproof. There is great in
terest in lacquered surfaces, strange
new plastic materials that are turned
into chairs, small tables, wall cabi-
nets and mirror frames and many
other new glossy substances. There
is even return to the black lac
quered papier-mache tables and
chairs with mother of pearl inlay
which made Victoria famous.
Enjoy a trip through the shops
this week and see what you think
OF all these things. Some you will
like, some you will be unable to re-
sist, and others you will pass over
because they are too this or too
that" to 60 with what you have.
Watch for the clear yellows and deep
green's this fall, for the pink shades
and the muted amethyst blues. It
all seemed different and new to me,
and hope it will to you.

local shops. This guild is made up
of group of the finest furniture
makers, who have banded together
to work out continuity in design,
which is very much to the interest
OF the purchaser. For instance, one
company is famous maker of ia
bles, another makes upholstered fur
niture, third fine cabinets and
wooden pieces. BY advance plan
ming these companies turn out fur
niture which in scale, finish and
design looks well together. This
makes it very pleasant and easy for
you and me to select pieces to make

Marked Change
In Modern Work.
You will notice marked change
in the modern things this year. The
lines are simple and fluid, without
being "rakish." The wood for the
most part is light. with the wheat"
finish the most popular of all. This
is hard transparent finish over
the natural wood tones which gives
a soft beige color. This is most
effective with dark upholstery for
the living room and goes very we'll
with pastel tones for bedrooms.
There are early American and
Provincial rooms which have great
charm and are slightly different
from the ones we are used to. Ma
pie is used, but it is all the warm
honey color of natural wood. Oak
is used for delightful country
series. 1t is English in traditional
feeling but very capacious and stur-
dy and will find a ready welcome
in the American country home Fin
ished in the natural color, the in
teresting granting is its chief
beauty. Another series is inspired
by the farmhouse furniture of Brit
tany which is made of birch. It is
hand wiped to bring out the grain
of the wood, sealed and polished
to a satin, waxy surface, very lovely
and almost indestructible.
The fine pieces of the 18th CEN
tury which are so we'll known are
as good as ever. Many of them
have been turned out to smaller
scale so that they fit nicely into the
small town house or apartment.
There is also great liking for re-
gency furniture this year. An air
of elegance has crept into interiors,
and the lovely striped satin dra-
peries, the elaborate and richly COL
ored wall papers provide a delight
full background for the severe, dig
nif1ed lines of regency and empire
pieces.
There are whole sets of new fur
niture in modern design, with the
simple handling based on modern
methods, but they are definitely in
spired by Sheraton, Hepplewhite or
the Adams groups. This has great
appeal to the many of us who have
some furniture and are either add
ing or refurnishing a room or two

pampered darling.
Many girls know as much about
football these days as their escorts.
But If Edna doesn't understand why
they make all that fuss over a Slip
perry brown ball, she'll confine her
questions to the calmer moments.
She won't come up with some silly
query just when it's fourth down
with foot to go on the 2-yard line.
When Ed and Edna go to out-of-
town games, they'll remember that
they are carrying their schools repu-
tation along with them. They won't
DO as We once did in our high school
days. Having journeyed out of town
only to see our team take a licking.
our crowd got revenge afterward by
trooping into every restaurant in
the town and impudently inquiring
II they knew of good place to eat.
1t struck us as a screamingly funny
gag at the time, but it was really
pretty childish.
On another occasion, we brought
IA people home from game in our
proud papa's new car. We weren't
arrested-as we should have been
but papa paid for a broken spring,
And he didn't like it.
So don't leave your good sense or
your good manners behind when vo,l
invade the enemy's territory. And
that goes double if you're driving a
car. The seasons still young, and a
hospital bed isn't nearly as nice as
a seat on the 50-yard line.
P. SIN case you're still wonder
ing about wingback and a wombat.
here are the definitions:
A wingback is radio sports an
nouncer's fancy name for a halfback

genus Phascolomys. So now YOU

NO 1OOIDall team can WIN eVerN
behind that team can win for their
school an endless chain of triumphs
in good sportsmanship and good
manners. And you, as an individual
fan, have a vital part in snaring
those victories. Your conduct at
the games can build up your schools
reputation or tear it down. Mean
while, your personal reputation will
be rising or falling in unison.
So let's take a look at Ed and
Edna Phan, and see what they can
do for their school and themselves
while the guards are guarding and
the tackles are tackling on these
October afternoons.
Hosts to
The Visitors.
First of all, they will remember
that when a game is played on
their own field they and all their
fellow-students are hosts and host
esses to the visiting team and its
supporters. Ed and Edna will real
ize that the visitors cheering Sec
ton is badly outnumbered, and
they'll give 1t a chance to do its
stuff without countercheers, catcall
choruses or bursts of derisive
laughter.
They'll keep out of individual ar
guments or alterations with STU
dents from the other school. No
matter how bitter the rivalry be-
tween the teams may be, they'll let
it be settled on the gridiron and
not under the stands, in an alley
behind restaurant or on a street
corner. Brawls and riots never won
city championship.
Ed and Edna will get excited dur
ing the game, of course. They may
even go slightly hysterical when a
halfback breaks loose for a 40-yard
romp for touchdown. But they'll
never reach the point of blind par
tisanship where they can't also ap-
plaud good play by the opposing
team. And an injury to an enemy
player will bring forth an encour-
aging cheer, or at least a sympa-
thetic silence. They won't gloat
over the other fellows hard luck.
If Swing Hi wins, Ed and Edna
will be jubilant, but they won't brag
or boast. Nor will they belittle the
victory, or the other teams efforts
They'll be proud of the triumph
over worthy opponent and will give
the losers full credit for a hard
fight and good try.
When Swing Hi loses-as it in
evitably will at times-theyll take
the defeat with grin and a Wei
get you next year" spirit. They
won't tear their hair, scream like
eagles and shout 1--WE wuz robbed!'
They won't accuse their conquerors
of unfair tactics, or charge the
referee with grand larceny, game
mapping and piracy on the 5-yard
line.
If They Have
A Date.
If Ed has date to take Edna to
the game he'll do his best to get her
a good seat. He'll provide a cushion
blanket, or folded newspapers tc
make her as comfortable as possible
And he won't become so excited over
the game that he bumps her in the
eye with his elbow, knocks her hat
of, or jumps in front of her SC
that she can't see.
AS for Edna, she'll consider the
fact that she is going to a football
game and not a tea dance and will
dress accordingly. If it's cold, shell
wear warm clothes. If it's raining
she'll 60 prepared to keep as dry as
possible and to refrain from COM
planning if she gets wet. She'll be

band with derision and contempt.
We think of him as a weakling who
has lacked the courage to fight a
domineering woman and has taken
submission as the easiest way for
peace, but If we but knew the truth
we would often place him high in
the catalogue of heroes and martyrs.
For oftentimes he Is bound to his
cross by as high sense of duty as
ever sent q . saint to the stake
Sometimes a man offers himself up
as living sacrifice to his children.
He will not let his own personal
sufferings at the hands of a virago
break up their home and prevent
him from doing what he can to off,
set the influence of an unworthy
mother. Sometimes man bows his
head in silence to his wife's insults
and unjust accusations because that
is the only way to keep the peace
And often he carries on through a
marriage that is torture just be-
cause he is too good a sport to
renege on his bargain. But one
wonders that these wives who treat
their husbands with so little con-
sideration, who do not show them
even the kindness they would show
a dog. do not realize how cruel they
are being and how inevitably they
must slay all of their husbands af-
fections for them. For it is not pos
Sible to love the unlovable.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-An "old-
fashioned Christmas, with gifts ex-
changed in greater quantity and
variety than any year in the last
decade" was forecast today by the
National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
tion on basis of a rising business
trend.
The association pointed out the
shipping period would get off to a
weeks earlier start in Is States and
the District of Columbia observing
tomorrow as Thanksgiving.
In States clinging to the old
Thanksgiving date-November 30
this year-merchants are preparing

ment added.
Anticipating a 10 per cent trade
gain, the association calculated sales
in the traditional Thanksgiving
Christmas shopping splurge by de-
partment, dry goods, general mer-
chandise and apparel stores would
approximate 1890, ,000, ,000-an in
crease of $4,000, 900 over the COM
