This slenderizing dress (1806-B)
with the narrow lace vestee. shows
very clever way of accenting waist
slimness and that is-by the use Of
side belts, fastened in the back, so
that you can draw them in to exact
ly the 'snugness you want. Other
details that make this style espe-
cially good for large women are
the inside shoulder tucks that take
care of correct fit over the bust,
and the lengthening. graduated
panel in the front of the skirt. This
is an excellent style for general
wear and appropriate for informal
afternoons, too. Silk crepe, velvet,
faille and wool broadcloth are smart
materials for this.
| The fact that the fullness is con-
centrated at the sides of the bodice
makes this soft afternoon dress
beautifully becoming as well as par
ticularly smart for such occasions
as bridge parties and luncheons,
when the top of your costume is
important. The square neckline is

Curves are in fashion. All the
smartest dresses are designed to
give a high-bosomed effect, with
hips slenderly rounded rather than
fiat. Therefore this is a season
when you women in the upper-size
brackets find the mode particularly
becoming. And since accuracy of
fit is more important than it has
been since album days, really, you'll
be wise to make your own dresses
(as those wise Victorian ladies did!)
and thus be sure of having just
the right lines and proportions.
Then, too, you can satisfy yourself
exactly as to color and fabrics.
None of these charming dresses is
at all difficult to make. Each pat

Now we don't mean to imply that
you've got to play one of those roles

In fact that exotic lady who works

ContrariWise, the sophisticate may

The coquet will find it advisable on

may be quite romantic when at

Even the canine may enjoy mas

We have tried to point out your
most sympathetic role. But every

DEAR MISS DIX-Five years ago
my wife's mother, who is a helpless
invalid, came to live with us. My
salary is small and this makes it
very difficult for us to take care of
her. Lately my wife has been
offered a good job which will pay
more than I earn and she is very
anxious to take it, but her mother
won't consider having a servant to
take care of her. She demands my
wife's personal attention. AS 1 am
we'll acquainted with household du-
ties, my wife suggests that we
change places and I stay at home
with her mother, while she goes out
to business. In other words, she
wants to wear the pants. Is such
plan likely to succeed? Can a
man get used to such a drastic
change? What do you think is the
wisest solution Of the problem?
G. C. r.
Answer-The only sensible solu-
ton Of the problem is for you to
keep on with your job, for your wife
to take the good place that is offered
her and for you to hire practical
nurse who will take care of mother
in-law and do the housework.
Old people-and especially sick
old people-nearly always get selfish
and cranky and tyrannical. And 1t
is just as foolish to give in to their
whims when they are unreasonable
as it is to be ruled by baby. In
their minds they are children again,
and they need to be ruled gently and
kindly, but firmly, like children.
I have known so many tragedies
that were the result of whole fam
lily being dominated by a senile old
woman. I know of one family in
which neither the sons nor daugh-
Evening star., 1939-03-14

this time there has been q definite
trend toward the cream and tan
paper with unobtrusive all-over
pattern, probably because people
were unaware of how to use the
more pronounced patterns intelli-
gently. Here stripes again are at
the top in favor, with some of the
spectacular period designs holding
dramatic interest. There are also
many interesting papers especially
designed for nurseries, children's S
rooms, kitchens, recreation rooms
and bathrooms.
With gleanings from reports OF
decorators all over the country, it is
evident that homes are becoming
more and more place in which to
live happily-rather than a show
window. The primary cause for any
decision in remodeling, redecoration
or refurnishing is that the change
may more perfectly suit the needs of
the household. If yours is a dark
old Victorian house with musty
living room-and you like sunlight
build bay window of glass brick
and bask in the sunlight to your
hearts content. If you like the
feeling of living in the country, fill
your town apartment with foWered
chintz, comfortable chairs beside a
fireplace and fat bowls of real fow-
ers. If, on the other hand, you
prefer to indulge in the smart, So
phisticated, "towny" life, you may
design your house as background
for the ''last word" In clothes
fabrics and accessories. Here you
will dwell during the fashionable
months of the year, doing your "re-
laxing" at seashore or mountains.
Consider Weather
In Planning.
In planning a summer in WASH
ington, its warm, steamy atmosphere
must be reckoned with. It is pos
sible to purchase drapery and up
holstery fabric these days that may
be laundered safely. If you do not
care to leave your windows un-
draped in the summer, select mate
rials that may be washed and ironed
without changing color. shape or
texture. These are shrinkproof,
fast color and will give to your house
an airy, cool appearance without
stripping it of all softening effect.
Though there is a tendency away
from the "all-white" decoration that
we have rushed so hard in the last
five years, there is nothing else that
gives the cool, clean effect of white
combined with another color. White
chintzes and linens splashed with
bouquets of field flowers bring sum-
mer into the house, and the gaily
striped materials that have bands
of cool color interspersed with sheer
open stripes will never discourage
breeze.
Change as much of your house as
you can. It will give you pleasure
this summer to live In a sleek, cool
appearing house, and additional JOY
to see all the familiar things in the
fall. In addition, your valuable ar
ticles will be saved the ravages of
dampness, mildew, sun and heat.

ma, will you give me Is cents?"
What for? You got your allow
ance yesterday. You don't mean
to tell me that you spent the whole
of it again?"
well, I owed Pinky Mullen 10
of it, and I went to the show and
that used up my quarter"
Then you go without. That's all.
I've told you more than a dozen
times now that If you used up your
allowance you would have to wait
until the next payday. You've got
to learn to use your money so as
to make 1t go around"
"All the boys are going with Mr..
Rudd to Beavertown, and II don't
get the Is cents I can't CO." Here
| the spendthrift began to cry loudly.
Its too bad, but you just must
learn. I can't keep giving you
money to spend like this. If I give
1t to you will take it off next
weeks, remember"
"All right, that will be fine. Just
SO can go today. Thanks a lot,
ma"
Next week there is more trouble.
"You get only part of your quarter,
remember. I gave you Is cents on
account"
"Oh, I forgot about it. Can't you
give me some more, ma? You see,
forgot about owing you the IS
and borrowed a nickel from Pinky
and I promised to pay him back
double So"
Eyes, ma" big brother chimes in,
"and that isn't all he owes. I heard
him promising Reddy double pay
for the loan of a dime and I told
him he was going to get in bad,
but he wouldn't listen to me-"
I whats this? You borrowed
money and promised to pay 1t back
double? You young idiot, I've a
good mind to thrash you here and
now. How dare you borrow money!"
Some children, very few compared
WACA1 VIC OCAAVAo, OO 4lOV ECCAA4 dOAC
to use their allowances with any
! degree of sense. These children
must be held a little longer in the
childish stage of money experiences.
They are still spendeNs, and have nO
idea of conserving their funds or
of getting the best values out of
them. Treat them as littls children
are treated, penny a day. That is,
give them their weekly allowance
in driblets and check up on their
financial dealings with great care.
Teach them to keep accounts and
try to get them to look ahead for at
least one day.
Borrowing is not allowed. The
schoolboy who collects interest on
loans is to be called before the head
of the school and instructed. His
people are to be brought into con-
ference with the idea of getting bet
ter training for him, little higher
standard of business and his rela-
tionship to 1t, which at present is
close to the vanishing point. Lend
ing and borrowing are bad practices
for school children. One point is to
be stressed beyond the others. Do
not advance money to a child who
has used his allowance in one wide,
careless gesture. Make him take the
consequences. And another point:
Let the free spender earn some of
the money he spends.
