half the time. Also, I think your
wife is lacking In worldly knowl-
edge when she fails to realize the
part that social contacts play in q
mans life.
In any community there are
many dentists and doctors who are
competent; many shops that carry
about the same line of goods; many
automobile statesmen who are alert
but when we are sick we send for
the doctor who is a personal friend
as well as physician; we patronize
the Jones store because we belong
to the same bridge club as the
Joneses; we buy our car Of young
Smith because we are so fond of his
mother. And so it goes.
Friends are not only one of the
greatest pleasures in life, they are
one of our best assets, and any
young couple makes a terrible mis-
take who live just for themselves
who never entertain, and who get
themselves segregated in a small
crowd instead of their being in
touch with many people.
Perhaps if you will tell your wife
that If she runs entirely with old
ladies she will soon be thought to
be as old as they are 1t will make
her modify her views.

II your 3-year-old child has begun
to stammer, give him extra rest and
all the peace of mind and body you
can offer him. Let him alone in
all the ways you can discover. Don't
nag him about talking slowly, or
speaking nicely. Don't bother him
about anything at all. Feed him
and love him and let him alone.
Three-year -old children begin to
notice people and their ways, ami
mails and their doings, machines and
noises and people going and coming
in all directions at once. Every
movement he feels, every idea he
catches from his surroundings press
es on his mind for utterance. Say
something about it, do something
about it" his mind says all day long.
He is seething with things to be said.
Terrific pressure is being brought
upon him to say them. And he
cannot.
The speech mechanism of q child
Of 8 Is not perfected. His ability to
organize thought is not anywhere
near perfection. His vocabulary is
limited to bare list of words, nouns,
verbs, a few descriptive words and
he is through. 1t is only yesterday
that he began to talk in sentences
and 1t Is going to be q long tomor-
row before he has the power to talk
in complete and associated SEN
tences.
But in this stage Of scaYce-begun
growth, pressure is being put on him
to talk. His mind presses hard on
him here. He must begin to talk
so that he can continue to talk and
so mature his speech powers. In
his effort to respond to this pressure
from within and without, he usually
floods his speech mechanism with
energy, browns his feeble speech
power, loses control and stammers,

Never look directly at q stammer-

make no demands upon him. Wait.

matter so that he feels your atten-
ton is on something other than his
effort to talk. Make an encourage

Night
Shows Are
Offered
Modes Displayed
At LuncheOns
And Dinner
BY HELEN VOGT.

Apparently it doesn't matter what
time of the day or night fashion
shows are presented. They're Still,
attended by an appreciative audi
ence, and this interest in fashion
locally inspires many Of the shops
to give smart displays.
Even at the dinner hour, when
all good folks should be home TAX
ing the evening meal, we found
them instead down at 2400 Sixteenth
Street eyeing with interest a show
presented by Charlotte Parker.
Clothes for every occasion, day and
evening, were modelled to the de-
light of feminine diners on Thurs
day evening. And we're sure that
was an expression of contentment
on the face of Mr.. Minnick, the
manager. His weekly dinner shows
have really caught on.
Armistice Day provided just an
other good opportunity for the local
hotels to welcome lunchers to their
fashion shows. The Raleigh played
host to scores of ladies on Saturday,
when Emiles gowns, coiffures and
exercises were the center of attrac-
ton. Four groups of clothes made
up an outstanding collection, the
coifures gave us an additional hair
style show, and between groups
trained teachers demonstrated how
to take off pounds and inches
Speaking of teachers, the Arthur
Murray representatives at the hotel
are dancing their way more strong
ly into popularity every day.
Though the shop is new to FASH
ion show audiences, Jean Matou is
we'll known to Washington women,
who have long approved his COL
lections. So it was a real treat
to see his fashion show presented
at the Shoreham on Saturday. Be-
cause the shop is especially famous
for them, there was an entire group
of hostess gowns, housecoats and tea
gowns with 'monkish" influence.
Cowls, hoods, corded belts and loose,
flowing sleeves helped to bear out the
theme, which was also stressed in
the ecclesiastical colors. Luncheon
always tastes twice as good when
you can look at lounging robe and
nibble lamb chop at the same time.

Dear Miss Dix: My wife and I
are very devoted to each other, but
we have a problem we would like
to submit to you. 1t concerns our
friends. She has got in the
clutches of group of elderly women
who dominate her social life. They
are very fine people, but my con-
tention is that we should form
closer friendship among couples of
our own age. We cannot afford to
entertain very much and when we
do it is always these old ladies my
wife asks, which, of course. vir-
tually leaves me out. I wish my
wife to entertain her friends, but
I think we should also cultivate
friendships with both men and
women who would not only be pleas
ant to know, but also would be
help to me in my business life. I
have tried to get my wife to see my
point of view, but she always seems
W CAAhAh L dAll ullldI dllO SuCll ulSs
cussions invariably end with bad
feelings between us, so should like
to know what you think. J. B. w.
Answer-Your wife seems to hold
a point of view that is very common
among American women, and that
is that the home belong exclusively
to the wife and that she alone has
a right to say who shall come in it.
The first thing the average young
wife does is to cold-shoulder all of
her husbands old friends out of
the house and replace them with
her own friends. When they give
parties it is she who makes out the
invitation list, not the husband.
Half the time he has to be intro
duced to his wife's guests.
So your wife is running true to
form when she thinks she has a
right to do all the entertaining. But
I think she is giving you a pretty
raw deal when she foists a lot of
old ladies on you instead of at least
going $3.50 with you and letting
you have some of your own friends

has me stumped because I have two
very lovely handmade iron porch
lights, and to get door set to live
up to the elegance of the lights and
paneling on the door will cost $3.50.
I am still thinking about it. Does
1t make sense to put an $3.50 door
set on a $3.50 door-or doesn't it?
The Wrecking mans wife was
nice IrlShwoman and we found that
we had both been in Chelsea, Mass,
at the time of the fire and both had
great tales to tell of it. So, while
Will loaded the doors and the lum-
ber into the truck, We had a real
"old home week" She said, Are
you sure, now, that you have every
thing you need? It's long way
back here and sometimes we run
out of things" I replied that we
had given up trying to find windows,
for by the time they were matched
and refitted they cost more than
new. The only other things I want
ed were two mantels. At this she
shouted at her husband, Jim, are
those two mantels out of Mrs. Ms
house yet?" Just out, 20 minutes
ago" said Jim, as he went off al
most at a gallop, scared to death
we might ask him to get them.
Mantels Prove
A Real Find.
So, my Chelsea friend and am
bled down the street with Will in
tow, as though we were going to a
pink tea. Mrs. Ms mantels were
sitting against tree. Don't think
for minute they were the kind you
read about in books! But in spite of
the beet-red varnish, the lines and
proportions were good, the detail not
bad. I asked for the rule and found
the measurements were exact. I
swallowed my heart-and remarked
that we might be able to use them
If the price was right. To her price
of So each, I said, Make it two for
50 which makes my bill $40 today,
and we will be back" So we bought
six doors, the mantels and enough
lumber for bracing underpining,
flooring, and all the little patching
jobs that needed to be done all over
the house for the amazing sum of
$40!
At the lumber yard, from the re-
conditioned materials we purchased
the front door, a combination sink
and a laundry tray in good condi-
ton for $40, and gas stove for the
same price. Here we bought our
order of wall boarding, the plywood
for closets and cabinets, boards for
shelving, shingles to patch the roof,
nails and all the necessary mate
rials to put the place together. Also,
plaster and plaster of paris were
purchased. Window sashes were
ordered new, as before stated.
Estimates were in, plumbers and
electricians investigated and the
best estimate accepted The picture
shows the electric wiring in place
before the walls were sealed and the
general condition of the interior as
the work started. The experiment
was now really about to begin.

Variety of Rolls

Shaping yeast dough into various
kinds of rolls is fun to do and the
results are pleasing to see. The
same roll dough will make a dozen
kinds of rolls. A basketful Of roll
varieties accompanying the meal
speaks of pleasant luxury, yet lux
ury which costs no more than a
few minutes of the cooks time. A
favorite kind of roll is cloverleaf
roll. To make them, form the
dough into small balls. Dip each
little ball into melted butter and
place three into each section of a

DacK 10 college this year asked me-
to write to them first. Would 1t
seem too forward and anxious? I
really like the boys as friends, since
most OF them are friends of my
brother. Please publish my answer
IN your column as soon as possible"
The other letter is from Fifteen"
who writes:
When I was freshman in high
school, met and went out with
a boy whom I liked very much.
When wrestling season started, he
took an interest in it, and because OF
this and his training program, he
no longer came over. Soon after
this we broke up. I went out with
other boys after this, but I was al
ways thinking Of this boy.
MY problem Is, how can I renew
my friendship with him? Should
invite him over to my house, and if
so, how should I go about it?"
Girls. Don't Be
Too Eager.
The most important thing for both
M c. and Fifteen to remember in
deciding these questions is that
boys object, strenuously and instinc-
lively, to being chased" And so, If
they take any action at all, they
must avoid the fatal mistake of ap-
pearing too eager for the friendship
Of these young men.
That's why the rule says that the
boy should always write first, except
in extraordinary circumstances. If
these boys want you to write to
them, M. c., make them earn your
letters with letters of their own!
If they don't write to you, it's a
pretty good indication that they
don't want your letters badly enough
to deserve them.
In certain situations you might be
justified in jogging their memories
with a brief note. But you shouldn't
write even that unless you have an
excellent reason-not merely an ex-
cuse-for doing so.
Such reason might be the seri-
Gus illness of one of your boys. Or
if he was the hero of a football
game, or won some other honor, you
could drop him a note of congratu-
lations. A message to be delivered
to him might be another reason for
writing-but it would have to be q
genuine message, not an obvious
excuse which would fool nobody.
These boys were not justified in
asking you to write to them first,
and you won't raise yourself In their
estimation by doing so. Make them
come to you! Boys appreciate a
thing more If 1t is obtained only
after some effort.
Problem Not Just
Wrestling.
AS for "Fifteen's" problem, she
doesn't make it entirely clear wheth-
er she and her friend broke up be-
cause of his wrestling program, or
for some other reason. But we're
inclined to believe that there were
other reasons. The boy could still
have seen you on week ends, Fifteen,
and wrestling season ended last
spring. If he didn't start dating you
again at that time, his athletic ac-
tivjties couldn't have been the only
thing that kept him away.
BY showing him that you are
charming and attractive person you
can probably win his friendship
again as you did before. But we
wouldn't advise you to ask him to
come to your house except for
party with several other boys and
girls. If you invited him to such a
party, and he had fun, perhaps he'd
remember the good times he had
dating you and return for more of
those same enjoyable evenings.
But In any case, why not enjoy
