into the picture.
Actually there is nothing that
so dresses up" an ensemble as furs.
AS well as representing everything
luxurious, they add that certain
touch that makes or breaks a smart
outfit. Don't misunderstood us
we don't mean that there never was
a Well-groomed woman minus them,
but we do believe that good furs
seldom detract from the appear
ance.
This year there are numerous
types and styles from which to
make your selection. Certain furs,
of course, are outstanding in popu-
larity, but it seems that if you
have a definite pelt in mind, it
can be worked into smart jacket
or scarf to fit your requirements.
Spring furs are light in weight,
beautifully worked, and range in
price from those that may be Sc
lected either by the famous Miss
OGrady or the equally renowned
Colonels Lady.
Styles Are Most
Interesting.
This year we are favoring scarfs
and jackets with a feW-very few
capes included. Those capes worn
are generally for evening and you
will find that the same thing holds
true in dresses. Scarfs are very
popular, with silver fox still the
first choice. However, smaller furs
have come into their own, and the
local shops are showing great guam
titles of kolinsky, baum marten,
stone marten and sable. Kolinsky
scarfs, done in eight or 10 skins,
are really lovely and quite mex
pensive, While the latter furs fall
more into the luxury class
Jackets are shorter this year,
running from the l8-inch bolero
type to the hip-length styles about
80 inches long. Here, too. silver fox
reigns supreme, but such pelts as
mole, caracul, squirrel, beaver, kid
skin, dyed fitch and a number of
other furs are represented. Of
course, jackets of blue or red fox
are always smart and well liked
by the majority of women.
This year dyed furs seem to have
taken on a new air of delightful
deceit-done so cleverly that it is
difficult to detect the fact that they
have been dyed Jackets of sable
dyed squirrel are smart, and some
have tiny matching hoods, which
are detachable.
Returning to scarfs. we were
amazed to find the unusual things
that have been done along these
lines. Fox scarfs, as we mentioned,
are good, but it is surprising to note
that neckpieces are being made of
skunk or fitch-and are most at

tractive. Silver fox has been worked
in an unusual manner by one de-
Signer this year. In a local shop
we found the skins draped, with
the heads loosely twisted the oppo-
site way, and inside of each skin
is deep pocket. Although the ar
rangement is difficult to describe it
is an exquisite piece of workman
ship and SO new that it has only
recently been copyrighted.
For evening wear silver fox coats
are shown, some about 40 inches in
length, with the skins worked ver-
tically in the body of the coat and
diagonally in the sleeves. Other
choice furs for evening include er-
mine and white fox, the latter some
times done in capes.
Wear Furs
Properly.
To really do justice to your furs
you must know first how to Sc
lect them, and second the proper
way to wear them to best advan-
tage. When selecting furs keep
your stature in mind. If you are
tall, skimpy fur will look only
like SO much string around your
neck; If you are short, long, full
furs will give you all the charm of a
beWildered rabbit peering out
through the tall grasses.
Remember, when you added those
extra pounds you relinquish the
right to wear full, chunky jackets,
and when you lost so much weight
you gained the opportunity of wear
ing the broad-shouldered, boXy
styles that add pounds. Consider,
too, your everyday life. If your
chief pleasure in the furs will be
wearing them back and forth to
Office, then don't choose anything
too "fussy." Ornate fur jackets Oh
ScarfS at 8 am. are more than the
average mortal can bear.
On the other hand, if you are
one of those fortunate people who
wears best bib and tucker all the
time, then the luxurious furs for
you, Milady, and the more the bet
ter.
Last, but not least, don't wear
your furS as though you never
owned any before and never will
again. Sling them casually around
your neck or shoulders or over your
arm. They took plenty Of wear and
tear on the original four-footed own
ers, so they needn't be treated like a
piece of fragile china. We do not
mean to abuse them, however. Give
them proper care, shake them out,
hang them in moth-free place
all that is essential. But wear and
enjoy them, and while you have
them on, get the most pleasure pos
sible out of owning fine furs. That S
what they're for!

The Problem
Of In>LaWs
On a Trip
Winding Ones Own
Business Is a Good
Rule to Follow
BY ANGELO PATRI.

| InlaWs Of any description are no
/ joke in family life They can be,
and often are, influences for good,
but occasionally they make no end
of trouble, and it is just TOO bad for
all concerned.
Il think we ought to take mother
along. She hasn't had a vacation
this year. We can take her easily.

The children and the dog. What say,

of course. jim Why not?"
The party started in good spirits,
but they did not last long Tubby.
4 years Old, was restless. Come on
my lap and we'll play beaver said
his mother.
Now why do you do that?' asked
grandmother. fretfully. why can't
he just learn to sit still like other
people?'
Hes just little boy and gets
tired said mother patiently.
'Oh. YOU just spoil him" growled
jim. Make him sit still
Mother said no more. but played
beaver with Tubby until he laid
his head on her shoulder and fell
asleep.
There now. I Just knew that
would happen" said grandmother.
You have to hold that heavy child.
and he could lust as well sit up and
behave himself"
Put him down. Rosie for PHYS
sake You'd think he was a baby"
And that's what he is. and he
happens to be my baby said mother
with an edge on her voice that
brought silence for the time.
III have to stop here for gas"
said Jim, and rolled up to a gas
station. Out jumped the dog.
Get back there, you. What do you
mean, anyway?" shouted Jim.
Let him be minute" begged
mother, understanding the dogs
need. Anyway, the dog went right
ahead and attended to business.
why is it you always have to
be contrary to Jim?" asked grand
mother
Il don't know, I'm sure" said
mother grimly, unless it is my nat
ural cussedncss showing up in the
presence of the angels
That trip did nobody any good.
Grandmother still thought of Jim
as her son, who had to be right as
matter of course, who must be
backed up in everything he said or
did by his loyal mother. She forgot
that her daughter"in-laW had first
place in Jim's life, and that it was
good family politics to boost Rosie
and let Jim look out for himself
Failing that, silence was in order
| from a guest taken on a trip of
pleasure
The gift of gracious silence is rare
Some people keep silent in a roar
that can be heard in every corner
of. the house. Gracious silence is the
expression of affection waiting for
love to comfort and soothe all hurts.
The in-law that has that gift is the
best-loved member of the family,
welcome the year around.
Learning to mind ones own busi-
ness is not as simple as it sounds,
for it takes a discriminating, under
standing mind to decide what is
ones business, but it is an art we'll
worth acquiring. Once acquired it is
"a priceless quality that makes its
own way in the world of doubts and
complexities. A good rule for all in
laws to follow is: When in doubt,
keep still. Keep still anyway.

ton to inquiries from parents and

Dorothy Dix Says
Flattery Best Remedy to Use in
Trying to Make Over Wives

Did YOU ever notice" asked a
woman of a group Of other women,
that most Of the complaints that
| husbands bring against their wives
are that they are lazy and trifiing
poor hoEsekeepers. bad managers
and Wasters. and that the husbands
seem to be helpless to deal with the
situation? Well I was that kind
of wife and l will tell you how my
husband made me over.
Il am one of those people who
are born with constitutional AYERS
ion to any kind of work. a dilly-
dallier who never got anything done.
My husband had been married twice
before. Like Mr.. Kipling's hero, he
had learned about women from his
I previous spouses and he knew how
| to handle EN-. SO he didn't try to
reform ne with the hammer.
He used the s2lye-spreader. He
, galvanized me into action and
speeded me up with praise 10
matter how. inefficient and lazy 1
was, he complimented everything I
did until l had to get busy to live
up to his encomlumS. II put me
on my nettle to be what ne thought
I was. Now I am not Dragging
when I say I am one of the best
cooks of this generation and grand
housekeeper.'
I have long contended that what
, husbands needed more than any
thing else vas diplomacy, because
it is SO easy for a man to work a
woman if he only knows how. Yet
! husbands live and fight, and are
miserable with wives for 40 or so
years without ever trying to catch
on to the trick Of making the wheels
go round.
Men explain their dumbness in
this respect by saying that women
are queer, illogical, unpredictable
and incomprehensible. That no one
can tell which way Minnie cat
is going to jump. But this is not
true. 1t is just an alibi to save
! their own faces. Women are sim
pie creatures. notivated by a few
primitive impulses. There are viz
tually only two things that hus-
band has to do to not only get along
in peace with his wife, but to keep
her eating out of his hand.
The first is never to forget that
| women put more stress on words
than they do deeds. A man may
work his fingers to the bone to

mentions the state of his affections
She Will doubt his love. But she
will never suspect that her husband
does not entertain the grand pas
sion for her. even if he beats and
staryes her, SO long as his love talk
holds out
Also, it is the way a man puts a
thing to his wife, no. the thing
itself, that determines the way she
takes it. A husband can for in
stance, telephone his wife that he
is staying downtown for dinner in
such way that she viii tell him:
Fine, have a eood time" instead
Of raising ruCtionS. And he can fill
his wile's heart with more gratitude
by taking her window shopping and
telling her how il ericved him that
he can't give her all the mink coats
ard jewels on the avenue than he
can By throwing a check in her lap
and telling her to get what she
wants as he doesn't know what she
likes.
The second cardinal point in deal
ing with woman is for a husband
to remember that there is streak
of the mule in every woman. While
she can't be driven an inch. she
can be cajoled into going all the
way he wants to go. It is folly for
a husband to be forever berating
his wife for being lazy, or eXtrava-
CANT, or a poor cook, Or thriftIess
manager.
The thing for him to do is to
tell her how tasteless breakfast is
without her lovely face opposite
him. That will get her up Of a
morning. If he desires her to be
a good cook. he must tell her that
her pies arc better than mother S.
When the biscuits are adamant and
the steak sole leather. he can mere
ly remark that things aren't up to
their usual standard. He can even
cure her Of her temper by raving
over how beautiful her face is in
repoSe. And so it goes.

Sponge Cake

AS soon as you take sponge
cake from the oven, invert the pan
on cake rack until the cake is
cool. This lets air circulate under
the cake, helping to prevent gath
ering of moisture in the pan. When
cake is cool, loosen the sides with
a Spatula and slip the cake out.

l. The more separate pieces a
costume has the more it can be
interchanged with others.
We have spoken of the separate
fur scarfs and capes that can be
used with dresses, coats and suits,
also of the three-piece tweed suits
that can be mixed with odd jackets
and skirts.
We like the skirt and topper
vogue, too, for the same reason.
2. Neutral colors blend with sew
eral sets of accessories in various
cOlOrs.
Wherefore the black evening dress
| which we have said was somber. It
is when unrelieved, but not when
accented
The same thing is true of the
perennial white evening dress and
OF gray and brown and navy street
costumes and to some extent of
dark green and even wine.
3. Separate color accents are less
limiting than those that don't come
off.
You may be intrigued by black
dress with turquoise bodice.
But it will stay black and tur-
quoise till your maid inherits it.
Ensembles in which the coat Cor
fur coaD lining matches the dress
are prohibitively limited. for the
coat cannot be worn satisfactorily
with any other dress.
