of the
Moment

Sometimes I wonder what those
Gibson girls did about their shirt
waists and skirts. How did they
keep them together without having
to go about constantly poking at
shirt tails? Maye they didn't. But
I have a feeling that a Gibson
girl wouldn't have been caught dead
in a public demonstration of how
to keep a shirtwaist tucked into a
skirt.
They must have been miracle girls,
those Gibson lassies.
I can't seem to manage. My shirt
tails will come out. And when
they do, it's simply a reflex action
to tuck them in again. Much to
my embarrassment, I find myself
tucking at the oddest moments. If
I ever had to 60 to directors meet
ings, I'm sure I'd be in the act of
tucking in my blouse as I marched
into the room with the other digni-
tarieS.
I'm really trying to get over the
habit. And I've decided the only
way to do 1t, Is to wear my shirt
tails out. It's done, as I have pre-

Dorothy Dix Says
If Women Popped the Question:
Marriages Would Be Happier

One of the most curious things in
the world is that women have
fought like tigers to get the right
to vote and to follow gainful occu-
pations, but they have not raised
finger to secure for themselves the
greatest right of all-the right to
choose their mates.
Undoubtedly the custom that
gives women only the veto power in
marriage Is responsible for much
of the unrest and unhappiness in
the world, because, for one thing,
what's the matter with marriage is
mainly that the wrong sex does the
proposing. Women are wiser in mat
ters of the heart than men, and they
would be better pickers than men
are.
OF course, in the old days, when
wives were. as a general thing, liza
billtieS instead of assets, and when
every husband was a combination
meal and shopping ticket, it wasn't
exactly cricket for a girl to ask a
man to assume her bills for life.
Then it was manners for her to wait
to be asked.
But now, when there are so many
rich girls wandering around loose
and virtually any girl with a good
job can support a husband In the
manner in which his father has
done, the last barrier is down. So
there is no reason why women
should not openly and aboveboard
ask the men they desire to be
theirs instead of going about it in
devious and undercover ways, as
has been hitherto the custom.
Apparently they are doing this
very thing. For statistics that have
been gathered on the subject re-
Gently show that it is quite COM
mon for the modern woman to pro-
pose marriage to the man who hits
her fancy. And instead of fleeing
from her like a startled fawn, as
has always been prophesied he
would, he generally says yes" and
lives happily ever afterward.
Still and all, great many men
do view with alarm this new move
of women to take the initiative in
lovemaking and deprive them of

back-thiS, too, to accommodate the
increasing back fullness in dresses,
and corsets are designed to fill these
requirements. The new garments
are not heavily boned They are
much the same, with straight panels
front and back, but they have been
built higher and longer and now
feature the lightly boned stay-up-
tops which are invaluable in keeping
your girdle from rolling.
This same lacing feature holds
good IN bras, too. The newest ones
are short in order to meet the in
creased length of girdles, and many
feature lacings. One of the most
practical-though slightly expensive
bras has feature that should
prove invaluable. The strap does
not stop at the top of bra front and
back; instead, it extends from the
bottom of the garment in front to
the bottom in back, thus relieving
strain across the shoulders and plac-
ing the entire weight directly on
the garment.
Expert Offers Advice
On Foundations.
There have been so many theories
advanced on the subject that few
words from an expert in one of the
shops should prove helpful. First,
she believes that women try to be
so comfortable that they ruin their
hgureS by not wearing the proper
garments. The average woman
buys about two garments a year"
she explained, but she really should
have new one every three months"
In addition, it is most important to
have your garment fitted every time
you buy new one. Your figure
changes constantly" she said.
That's why so many garments are
sold in the fall; women let them
selves spread during the summer"
More than that, this expert believes
that thin girls need foundations
more than stout ones She explained
this by saying that thin girl needs
the garment to support her for
health'S sake, while, as rule,
larger woman needs it only for ap-
pearance. In addition, it is her
theory that if young girls would
start wearing light girdles now they
would not need heavy garments in
later life. And above ALL don't think
that just because your foundation
doesn't show you can continue to
wear it for one and two years. That
piece of clothing receives harder and
more constant wear than any other,
and with frequent washings loses its
support and helpfulness.
So do look into the matter of a
new foundation this fall. Have it
fitted by experts and be sure that
it is in every way suited to your
requirements. You'll look and feel
better if you do.

Treatments
For Scalps
And Hair
Burning Sun Rays
Destroy Color
And Luster
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Many girls seem to get great
pleasure in running around with
out any head covering during the
summer time. If you feel more care
free without a hat, by all means
go without one, but you must then
take the precaution to protect your
scalp and hair in the proper man
ner.
The sun, you know, robs your hair
and scalp of natural fabrication,
just as it does your skin. Your
hair can get parched and SUM-
burned, too. And if you dislike
protecting it from excess heat by
wearing hat then you must anoint
it with a tonic, oil or ointment.
A little sun is good for your scalp
providing your hair is brushed free
so the air can blow through it, but
too much sun is disastrous. Select
a tonic for your specific scalp con-
dition-normal, dry or oily. BY
parting your hair in sections apply
this tonic to your scalp with bit
of absorbent cotton every day you
plan to be hours out of doors. Mas
sage it well into your scalp and then
brush your hair thoroughly and at
frequent intervals wipe off your
brush on a clean towel.
If your hair is not oily and is
either dry or normal you will need
the added protection of an ointment
brushed on the entire hair length
or the thrice-weekly application of
an oil. AS oil is quite likely to turn
rancid during the hotter weather
I think the scientifically prepared
ointments are to be desired
You simply rub a bit on your
brush and quickly brush the length
of your hair, paying particular at
tention to the ends. Ends should be
brushed separately and well, for it
takes a goodly supply of natural or
artificial fabrication to run down
the entire length of the hair.
This scalp care takes little time,
and it gives you the great satisfac-
ton of adding beauty to your hair
If you brush diligently you may go
two or three weeks without a stam-
poo, providing you are not SWIM
ming daily and getting lake or salt
water in your hair.
BY shampooing at home with a
liquid shampoo and soft water and
drying your hair in the sun as
you brush it you will be pleasantly
surprised at the lovely luster it will
acquire. During the summer your
hair should be dried thoroughly and
brushed well before it is set-and If
you can get away with it-have it
set with water only. Give your
scalp a chance Ito take on new
beauty!
1t is perfectly all right not to wear
hat when you rush around here
and there during the day-or when
you 60 to the movies. But If you
like to spend hours on the beach or
on the water you simply must cover

their ancient safeguard, the right
to propose.
I am all for women having the
right to pop the question. Heaven
knows every wife is about 10 times
as much married to her husband as
he is to her, hence it is 10 times
more important for her to get what
she wants in a mate than it is for
him.
And it is for the husbands good,
too, because a satisfied wife is al
ways on her toes trying to please
her husband, while the one who has
had to marry the man she could get
instead of the one she wanted
takes out her disappointment in
being peevish and hard to get along
with.

In Emergency
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Connie was delighted to have her
cousin Dorry come to visit. The
two were about the same age, just
past 3, and both liked to play with
dolls and sand houses. Nov play
nicely with Cousin Connie" said
Dorry's mother bit anxiously.
"You know she is rather rough at
times. She wants her own way and
fights to get it. I hope she will
be good today" Then she returned
to the house with her sister.
"Oh, they'll get along. They may
as we'll learn early. Connie is too
much alone. A playmate will do
her good"
Il hope So"
For a time no untoward sound
came from the vicinity of the sand
box. They seem to be having a
good time" said Comics mother.
Just then came the sound of bat
tie, and Comics voice, Mama,
mama, come"
whats the matter, Connie?"
"Dorry is hitting me. She took
my doll I don't want my doll in
her castle. I want it in my own.
She won't give it to me and she
hit me-"
There, there, children. Dorry,
give Connie her doll. You have
your own. Play nicely, like good
girls. and you will get nice tea
for your dollies."
Quiet again for a few minutes,
then louder yell from Connie.
"Dorry bit me. And hit me. She
won't play nice with me-"
Yes, she will Next time she hits
you hit her right back, hard as she
hit you. Then she will behave"
Connie looked dubious. Dorry ex-
pressionless. The moment the win
dow closed the battle was on, this
time Connie joining in, doing her
best to hold her own against a
powerful and experienced enemy.
Down she went, pushed backward
into the sand box, bowling for help.
That settled the play for that day.
Il can't help you" said mother, as
she wiped Comics face. You've
just got to find way of getting
along with Dorry. Fight her back
until she learns you mean it. You
must mean to hold your own.
Don't give up and cry like a baby
for your mother. She can't hurt
you any worse than you hurt her"
Il don't want her to play with
me any more"
That won't do any good. She
is your cousin, part of your family,
and there she will be always, and
you just must learn how to get along
together"
Il don't like her"
II don't blame you. But you have
to do something about it. Crying
won't make her behave"
Should bite her hard like she
bit me?"
mo. Only bad-mannered dogs
bite. Real dogs wouldn't do such
thing. Just give her a good push,
out of the way, and tell her she
can't do this to you. If she bites
you slap her hard. You'd better
practice pushing her out of the way.
Maybe you won't have to. She
might be nice next time"
Shed better be-" said Connie
significantly.
Children must learn to get on to-
gether. Biting is out, but two good
hands ought to be enough to keep
the truce. Grown-up interference
is only emergency treatment.

they were not on my market list
had to breakdown and purchase a
box, for surely any fruit that had
such true fragrance of what it
should taste like could not be dis
appointing in flavor. 1 am happy
to relate they were perfection.
The housewife should take ad-
vantage of this and put in a little
extra work on canning and preserv-
ing so that her family will be able
to enjoy peaches throughout the
year.
Canned peaches will provide fruit
for any number of desserts during
the winter months, while preserves
will add immeasurably to the break
fast or luncheon meal, as we'll as
your child's school lunch box.
Spiced peaches have always been
great delicacy to be served with
the meat course, while the branded
variety turns the most simple meal
into party affair. Burning branded
peaches placed around a mold of
vanilla ice cream is perfect ending
for holiday meal on a frosty
evening.
The Bureau of Home Economics
of the United States Department of
Agriculture advises the housewife
how to select this beautiful fruit,
SO that she will get the best quality
and flavor and not have her many
hours of work over a hot stove
wasted
From this years large crop the
woman who knows her peaches
should be able to find what she
wants-for table use now, to can, to
pickle, or to make into preserves or
butter. At this time of the year
freestone peaches are most popular
for table use. They're preferred for
home canning, too. But for picking
and for canning commercially cling
stones are ordinarily used.
Never pass snap judgment on
peaches when looking them over to
buy, advise the expert fruit graders.
A peach with a rosy blush may be
thing of beauty, but it's not neces-
sarily ripe peach-unless the
background color has also changed
from its original green to whitlsh
or yelloWlsh.
IF the peaches aren't to be used
Immediately, they needn't be full
ripe when they are bought. But
they should be mature enough so
that they will ripen. Test, of this
is also the ground" color. If the
green has started to break that
is, turn whitish or yellowish-the
peach should ripen satisfactorily
If the background color is an un-
broken green instead-the peach
may develop pale color-have a
tough, leathery flesh with little
flavor-and shrlvel as it ripens.
Good peaches are also fairly firm
This is evident from the appearance
of the fruit-or from examining one
or two Of the lot. It's not good shop
ping etiquette to pinch every peach
Each pinch means another bruise
Badly bruised peaches are waste
full to buy The flesh underneath
the bruise will be soft and dlscoI-
ored and must be thrown awoy
Although, ideally, peaches should
have no bruises, most buyers learn

burned during the summer time and
so robbed of its color that it is i'm
possible to restore it to natural
loveliness.
So do not be a silly lassie and
think you can get away with what
others cannot. OF course very oily
hair can take much more sun than
dry or normal, but few of us have

easy and very chic to tie a bandana

Despite the fact that a recent sur
vey proved that women buy only
one-half corset a year, it's a GER
tainty that their interest in correct
foundations is paramount. This
survey of which we spoke was made
to determine how many corsetS are
bought each year-with those re-
suits. 1t seems surprisingly low
rate, and may be due to the fact
that it is difficult to find helpful
garments to fit each individual
figure.
This season, however, foundations
have reached a new highland we
mean that literally as we'll as fig
uratively. They are longer and
higher, coming up under the bust
line and extending so low that it is
almost revolutionary AS a matter
OF fact, corsets are longer than ever
