Second Marriages Frequently
More Successful Than First

DEAR MISS DIX: What are your
views in regard to second marriages?
Do you think 1t is possible to love
the second husband or the second
wife as we'll as the first? ANN s.
Answer am an enthusiastic ad-
vocate Of second marriages, provided
. man or woman marries In his or
her own age class and uses a reason
able amount Of discretion in the
selection Of a mate.
A second marriage is bound to
prove disastrous when an old
widoWer selects for q wife-as he SO
often does-a girl young enough to
be his daughter. and puts her to be
stepmother over his half-grown
children. And 1t is . still worse
tragedy when a middle-aged widow
lets some adventurer marry her for
her husbands insurance money just
because she is lonesome, and it
sounds 50 good to her famished ears
to listen to some man making love
to her again.
But this extreme of matrimonial
folly is one thing, and marrying a
nice, suitable companion Is some
thing else again. I think the men
and women are wise to try to rebuild
their homes Of happiness that nave
been shattered by death. But there
is one curious thing about marriage:
Even when it isn't wholly successful
it seems to unit men and women for
the single life.
A mans wife may bore him and
get on his nerves. She may nag
him. She may have a hundred
faults that jar him, but when she is
gone and her voice is silenced; when
he is free to 60 and come, and live
at the clubs for which he yearned
when she was alive, he finds that
he has lost his taste for them.
The woman Is in even worse fix.
She may have had . husband who
was grouchy and unpleasant enough
to live with. She may have had to
haggle with him over every penny,
but when he Is gone and she has her

others are mere beginners. But that
doesn't keep them from having 4
grand time-with no trouble and
little expense.
One Of the girls has an accordion.
She's fairly good with her right
hand, but her left hand still isn't
very accurate. The boy she goes
with has . snare drum, and is
gradually acquiring the traps to go
with 1t. One Of the other boys is
learning to play banjo, but so far
ne can manage only chords. The
third boys makes strange noises
emerge from saxophone, while the
fourth boasts Of nothing but an
ancient ukelele and a fairly good
baritone voice.
In addition to the pianist and the
accordionist, the girls include a
sweet potato fancier-or an ocarina
player, if you must be technical. The
fourth miss does little but sing and
gaze soulfully at the banjoist.
They Don't Mind
The Discords.
But what time this odd octette
has been having ever since the eve
n1ngs began to get chilly They
usually spend hour playing a few
pieces which they already know
fairly well. They don't stop for
mistakes, but breeze merrily along
letting the discords fall where they
may. Then they start work on a
new piece or two, and end up the
evening singing In so-called har-
mony while the pianist plays, or
listening to a swing band on the
radio. Simple refreshments COM
plete the party.
OF course, at first these sessions
were little hard on the family and
the neighbors, but they are becom-
ing less and less Objectionable a,
the budding musicians acquire q
little skill. And no parent can helm
encouraging this kind of gang gath
ering after watching the crowd in
action. In fact, fathers and mothers
have been known to stick around
and join In the chorus.

Minimize Faults
BY Selecting
Right Shape
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.


How to be attractive and still
wear eye glasses was the theme of
a press party recently given by a
leading Fifth avenue beauty au-
thority.
Few women realize that with
glasses chosen to harmonic with
their face shape and skin tone, with
a coiffure especially styled to detract
from the glasses and with proper
makeup, they can We far more at
tractive in appearance than women
who do not wear glasses, but should" i"
stated this beautician For a woman
who goes about straining her eyes
has perpetually tired look, nu-
merous little face lines and en-
courages a dowager's hump!"
At the party we were told that a
sQuare-face girl should wear glasses
broader at the top than at the bot
tom to minimize the breadth of her
face. The long faced girl looks bet
ter In round, large frames, as they
help to fill out her face. The color
Of frames depends upon the indi-
vidual skin tone and the only way
to determine which is least con-
spicuous is to try on the various
models.
Quite naturally, care Of the skin
was emphasized, for attention ID
drawn to the face II you wear
glasses. Keep your skin smooth
textured through daily care and by
all means use q foundation cream
or lotion beneath your makeup.
This helps to keep your powder and
rouge intact as you put on and take
of your specs!
Wear your rouge rather high on
your cheek bones to counteract the
shadows from your lenses. Blend
it well and use bit more than you
would II you did not wear glasses.
According to this authority, eye
makeup is supremely important
Shadow on your lids should in
tensify the color Of your iris, mas
cara should emphasize the tips Of
your lashes (not the whole lengthy
and a bit Of tissue OIL over the
eyeshadow helps to make your eyes
glisten behind the lenses.
Two hair styles, In the modern
manner, were shown as those most
becoming to google eyes! BY all
means wear your hair softly and
for most faces it should be drawn
back from the temples slightly to
throw your face features into prom
inence. Soft full curls, or deep
waves, are more becoming than the
severe stylized coiffures.
Even hats were considered and
Sally Victor presented some very
f1attering models. A rust-colored
antelope had a slight visor effect
with q cascade of cog feathers
falling softly down one side to the
cheek. A casual hat of brown felt
had brim which swept up one side
in a dashing line and was lined
with turquoise suede which was fiat
tering to the skin. For formal veal
she showed a cleverly draped turbar
Of blue velvet which came down
slantwise on the right side Of the
forehead.

first red-skinned baby new potatoes
are in now? Boil them in their
jackets, and serve them with plenty
