Love Is Best
in
The World
Dorothy Dix Tells
How to Perfect It
In Her New Book
BY BETSY CASWELL,
Woman's Editor.

Great Is the medicinal vafde of
love. Try 1t. 1t is sovereign remedy
for every trouble of body and mind
and SOUL"
So says Dorothy Dix who ministers
to the hearts and souls of women all
over the world. And in her wisdom,
she gives them, along with this ad-
vice, a practical and wholesome text
book with which to follow it.
In her latest book, How to Win
and Hold Husband" published by
Doubleday, Doran 81 Co. of New
York, Miss Dix has brought together
all the knowledge and experience
she has gained in the course Of a
life of listening to others problems.
She never pulls her punches, es the
millions who follow her daily columns
know-but her love and understand
ing of her fellow man and woman
glow between every line, and make
this volume a wonderfully human
document.
Miss Dix titles her first chapter
"Love-the One Great Cure-all'-
and this is the only abstract section
in the book. The rest deals with
good hard facts; how one is to
know If one is really in love, the
ideal age for matrimony, why love
dies how to get along with in-laws,
what to do about "the other woman
and so on. Miss Dix may stress
some of the old-fashioned ways with
which women can catch and hold
their men-but she proves her true
modern viewpoint in her discussions
of divorce and alimony, and the all
American girl.
Dorothy Dix needs no introduction.
Her daily column is read all over
the world-wherever there are papers
printed in English. Her public"
numbers millions-and goodly part
of them are men, seeking to unriddle
the enigma that the feminine mind
presents. She has entered into the
homes and hearts of people with
her warm understanding, and her
icy common sense.
No, the foreword Of her book is
not necessary to introduce the author
to the reader-but 1t is in itself a
fascinating glimpse into the life Of
one who spent it in helping others
to make the best Of theirs. Dorothy
Dix was started on her great career
by just the kind of hard knocks that
she tries to soften for those who cry
to her for help. And as John
Elfreth Watkins, who wrote the
Introduction" says, "fcr the last
quarter century she has laughed and
cried and sympathized with and
jollied and lambasted and advised
millions upon millions of her sisters
with whom she has heart-to-heart
talks through the papers the world
over"
AS individuals, we think we're
pretty fine when we help one person
to happiness. Dorothy Dix has sue
cored millions!

Excel in Field
By ANGELO PATRI.

Young people find 1t hard to get
places these days. Unless they are
unusually skilled, and able, or have
friends in the fields they want to
enter, they have to hunt patiently
and hopefully to find an opening.
But the openings are here. 1t takes
imagination and courage and a
strong will to work in order to find
and accept them, but there are
places for those who can fill them.
I said imagination was necessary for
many of these openings. They are
not posted, nor are they obvious.
II wish I could find something
to do. I've answered every ad-
vertisement, called up everybody
I know, asked all my friends, but
there isn't thing. It's just awful
to be beginner these days. Moth
ing to do. Nobody wants you"
How would you like to raise
goats?"
Raise goats? Whoever heard
of such a thing. I'm college grad
uate. Goodness? Goats are dirty,
smelly, nasty things. What could
I have to do with goats?"
Now this young woman, an ath-
lete, healthy, lover of outdoors,
lived in the country on a hillside
on which only brush could grow.
A brook ran down the slope into
the meadow. If ever place called
for milk goats, hers did. And there
was a market for it within easy
reach. But no goats for her.
That's the kind of thing mean.
Why look for stenographer's job
when a job like that was in hand?
Why not pioneer? I know that
goat farms do not spring up in a
night at the wave Of a wand, bl-
there was a goat farm near by,
run by a woman. also college grad
uate, and this beginner could have
had her apprenticeship there and
built up her own farm as she de-
veloped power and understanding
of the job. But she lacked imagina-
ton and she lacked willingness to
work.
Housework offers a field for
young women. The modern kitch-
ems, the electrified home. need in

some of the fine young women who
are looking for work cannot take
over this housekeeping, hour-W .
ing job is a mystery to me. The
ignorant housekeeping mistress is
to blame for the disrepute of this
field. but there are intelligent home
makers who would be glad to en-
ploy intelligent, trained workers and
pay them we'll. Why it should be
disgraceful socially to be cook and
an honor socially, to be a nurse, is
not clear to me. A real cook is
an artist, savior of mankind, and
should be honored.
The great trouble about the whole
business of forgetting is the lack
of training Of the applicants. Sales
people who do not know their stock,
cooks who cannot cook, gardeners
who cannot garden, plumbers who
don't care whether a joint leaks or
not, carpenters who don't know how

prays for skilled and willing
workers

wn, it's a perfect suit for faH

A man who says that he is lonely
and desires to marry and settle down
asks my assistance in helping him
find the girl Of his dreams for whom
he has been searching in vain. He
says that she must be good looking
and have pleasing personality;
be willing to wait on him hand and
foot, as his mother and doting aunt
have always done. She must also
be understanding, affectionate and
modest, but also a modern maiden
who can smoke and drink like a
gentleman and who will allow him
an occasional night out, with no
questions asked.
Furthermore, she must be good
housekeeper who can manage a
home economically without cutting
the corners too short and entertain
graciously. She must not interfere
with his work, in which he Is pas
sionately absorbed, not get peevish
over his irregular hours and having
to keep meals waiting And prefera-
bly, the lady should be an orphan
with no relatives, so that the in-law
problem may be avoided.
I am afraid that not even Sher-
lock Holmes could find a girl who
would rate 100 per cent on all of
these specifications and, if located,
the question would be what would
such paragon of perfection want
with a choosey young man? For
it is observable that he does not
mention any of his qualifications as
the sort of husband who Is the
answer to a maiden's prayer.
Is he so easy on the eyes that his
wife will enjoy looking at him for
80 or 40 years? Will he pamper and
indulge her as her adoring father
has always done ? Has he an agree

ing girl who can don Junk" jewelry
at the end of the day to change her
entire outfit.
Consider that closed toes and
heels are very good in New York.
Some shoes may be open, but you'll
find the trend away from them.
Suede or alligator will make your
first pair.
Indulge in perky new hat. Bustle
backs and snoods are more prom
inent than ever and very fetching
with new dresses.
Have a good permanent. Short
hairstyles may still be the rage, but
a great number of women are going
back to longer coiffures. Well soon
know the final decision.
Don't be afraid to buy plaids. A
smart plaid skirt in subdued shades
is perfect with a looking
sweater and contrasting jacket.
Every one loves them for work.
Take a look at the matched ac-
cessories featured in some of the
local shops. There are six new
shades and it's a time and trouble
saver to find everything in one
place.
Watch the new makeup colors.
There are some grand ones on the
market in clear brilliant reds that
look well with black, the new greens,
blues and grays.
Speaking of red, it's very popular
in fashions this season. The college
girls started the fad and the rest
of use follow along. Lucien Lelong's
presentation of Robin Hood red
helped it on it's way, too. Most Of
us will like it for accent with black.
Watch the use of jersey It's
coming up fast for fall. Faille, too,
is being used, but here's word OF
caution about that. It's all too apt
to make an older woman look her
age. Perfect on youngsters, it holds
dangers for the more mature, so be
sure it's becoming.
Have at least one pair of low
heeled shoes this year.
Buy clothes that blend well to-
gether. In other words, if you
can't buy a complete set of &C
cessories for every costume, choose
your colors with care so that few
good things will do. Your planning
helps here.
Resolve to keep everything spic
and span. Be sure your blouses
and sweaters are freshly laundered,
dresses cleaned often, shoes brushed
or shined, gloves minus gaps, stock
ing seams straight and purses in
some degree of order. It's not diff
ficult task; just habit.
And above all, don't buy or wear
anything that you're not sure you
like. Nothing in the world will
make you feel more miserable.

to check on your wardrobe for the
coming seasons. And here are few
of the things to consider:
Don't pack away any clothes that
are soiled. Even If they don't look
as though they need cleaning, it's a
good plan to have it done, anyway.
1t saves your clothes and keeps them
in better condition.
Don't clutter up your storage space
with things that you never intend to
wear again. This may sound silly,
but it's a common fault. If some
thing is unbecoming or worn out
and you can afford to get rid of it,
do so. There are plenty of people
who will welcome your old things
which will certainly be of no value
to you. This applies to the summer
clothes you store away as well as the
fall ones you're bringing out.
Figure out how much you can
spend for your new clothes. Then,
dreary as it all sounds, budget your
money. So much should be allotted
for a coat, if you need one, for
sports clothes and "dressy" outfits.
You'll also want to figure on shoes,
hats and other accessories. And
it's much better to get few smart
outfits than a number of not too
good ones.
Do something about your figure.

tempted you to "let yourself CO." so
decide to exercise and remove sur

Investigate the new corsets. FASH

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I live in Normandy style house
We have ivory woodwork all through
the house. The tops OF the doors
and the windows are finished alike
by a plain board inches wide,
topped by narrow strip which ex-
tends about an inch. The windows
are grouped in some rooms and sin
gle in others. I have been told that
draperies on these windows should
be placed below this panel board so
that the tops of the doors and win
dows will match. AS our shades are
placed on the outside of the window,
I do not see how this is possible.
Will you give me some suggestions
on this? B. c. M.
| Answer
Usually windows are much more
attractive when they are draped
to conceal the wood frame. That is
the main idea of curtains, to soften
the harsh edges. Unless this board"
is in the nature of a valance board
| with space underneath it for curtain
rods, would suggest that you treat
it just as an ordinary window trim.
/ If you do treat the window with
the board exposed you will naturally
have to have your shade fixtures in
stalled within the frame. If they
were mine would place my rods on
the outside of the window and con-
ceal the wood trim.

Dorothy Dix Says
Self.Analysis Should Be Made
When Demanding Ideal Mate

Will he be understanding and call
her temper nerves? Will he realize
that wife must have some diversion
and take her stepping once or twice
a week? Will he pay her bills with
out squawking and lie like a gentle
man about her hats being becoming?
And will he also be an orphan, so
she, too, may be saved from the in
law problem? 1t is an ironic thing
that, while all men and women are
seeking the perfect mate. very few
Of them ever think of trying to be
one themselves.
OF course, in reality no one ever
gets his or her ideal husband or
wife, because there isn't any such
animal, and that is fortunate. For,
while an imperfect mate is often
hard to stand, perfect one would
be uncomfortable The vanity by
which we all live could not survive
if a poor, weak, faltering human
being were brought in daily contrast
with a godling who never stumbled,
who never made mistake, who was
always right.
We are never so close to each
other as when we are poor. miserable
sinners together. And so if men and
women never find their perfect wives
and husbands they needn't be disap-
pointed. They wouldn't like them
if they did. DOROTHY DIX.
