Local Fashion Shows
A Boon to Holiday
Shopping Crowd
BY HELEN VOGT.

Mrs. Washington is putting her
tired feet under the tables Of some
Of our local hotels with pleasure
these days. Christmas shopping
grows constantly more frantic, so
it's real treat to relax at luncheon
or dinner and see some Of the smart
fashion displays offered. A rest, q
bite to eat and q chance to plan
your holiday wardrobe.
Christmas suggestions were in
order on Saturday when the Eliza
beth Arden Shop presented tea
gowns and hostess robes at the
Shoreham. Flattering styles were
accompanied, Of course, by harmon
izing make-ups and coi1ures.
Down at the Raleigh, the Model
Shop was turning the lunchers green
with envy. The resort clothes dis
played were 50 attractive that we'll
venture to predict so per cent Of the
audience went home and started
dropping hints about Florida. Gros-
ner provided several changes Of cos
tune for the Arthur Murray teachers
who strolled down imaginary South
ern streets with the ladies.
That was, to say the least, an
outstanding dinner dance at Hotel
2400 last Thursday evening. The
regular feature has become extreme
" popular, and last weeks per-
Torrance was exceptionally well
done with clothes from Pasternak.
Fashions with your 1ilet Is quite q
novelty.

Is, 1t is neither soup, roast nor
salad, but hot dish brought in be-
tween one Of these courses or used
as a substitute for the fish or the

Dear Mrs. Post: The other eve

my husband and had therefore had
not been let in by the maid, who
was busy in the kitchen. So when
the maid appeared in the dining
room to wait on the table Mrs.
Visitor said, Good evening, Julia. "
To which Julia replied, Good eve

was very bad judgment on the part
Of Mrs. Visitor to speak to the maid
when she was waiting on table.
Answer-It Is quite all right to say

Dorothy Dix Says go
Teen.Age Girls Are Chameleons,
Therefore Hard to Understand

DEAR MISS DIX: I am a boy OF
l8, just beginning to step out with
the girls. My idea is to keep going
with different types Of girls until
can be fair Judge Of the fairer sex
Although at my age can't see what
good understanding girls will do me
I am quite sure that in time I will
find it of value, and when I get old
enough to marry and decide to say
II do" will know what am letting
myself in for. Can you give me a
key to the girl riddle? A KID.
Answer: Well, son, you are q wise
child to undertake the study Of
girls while you can still do 1t In
. scientific spirit, and can only
congratulate you upon your far
sightedness. For II you wait until
some little cutie has you going
around In circles 1t will be forever
too late.
Now no one really understands q
girl. She doesn't understand herself
So there is no use in trying to figure
out why she does what she does OF
what she is going to do next. The
best you can do is to try to protect
yourself from what she Is going to
do to you.
The first thing, then, to realize Is
that every girl In her teens Is q
chameleon. She can change her

color, her height, her weight, her
general appearance apparently at
will, 50 that one day she is q fat
little sugar plum and the next day
she is a lanky weeping willow. One
day she will be q gay cutup and
the next day she will be q pensive
Mona Lisa. Also, one day she will
make you think you are the one and
only and the next day she won t
remember your name.
So harden yourself to these
changes In girls and prepare yourself
for them. As long as you live you
Will have to deal with the femi-
nine temperament, 80 you can't get
used to 1t too soon.
Discount most of the things that
girls tell you about themselves. Few
Of them are as red as they paint
themselves. And, finally, son, when
you do fall in love, as you are sure
to do, take it lightly. Don't let 1t
get you down. Realize that it is just
q slight passing attack Of heart
disease from which you will recover
in the course Of . month or two.
Don't think Of love seriously until
you are adult and ready to marry.
And don't let any girl weep, plead
and shanghai you into marriage
until you are able to support q
family. DOROTHY DIX.

Arithmetic
Taught to
Children
Normal Youngster
Can Learn Tables
If Made to Work
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"Well, the poor child has an in
feriority complex. He just can't
help it, being poor In arithmetic"
The teacher was puzzled. She
had written a note on Toby's report
card stating that he could improve
his rating in arithmetic If he learned
his tables. Now his mother was
saying, "You can't expect Toby to be
good in arithmetic because he has
an inferiority complex feeling about
it." AS though that had any mean
ing for the situation.
IF he learned his tables he
wouldn't have any feeling Of in
feriority because he would not be
inferior"
"You don't understand" said
mother. Toby knows that nobody
in his family did well in arithmetic,
so he has an arithmetic inferiority
complex and he can't learn arith-
metic. Don't you see?"
mo" said the teacher grimly.
what see is that Toby thinks he
need not get down to the hard task
of learning tables because his family
never did. I am going to see that
he gets by the family failing If I
have to stay in school with him every
afternoon from now to Christmas.
Any child with normal intelligence
can learn his tables and do his arith-
metic. Toby can just forget that
complex business and get down to
work."
The child who does not know his
tables so well that they are auto
1matic in his thinking cannot do
arithmetic well. He must learn his
tables. He can do it If he is nor
mally intelligent. The shy child
must be trained to have confidence
in himself and others. We can
train him. The child afflicted with
tendency to selflshness, jealousy or
Incidence Is an ordinary human
child, very much like his ancestors,
and he can be trained and taught
self discipline If we devote ourselves
to that service. In short, children
are incomplete forms Of the human
race, and it is our duty and privi-
lege, as parents and teachers, to
help them to complete themselves
through helpful experiences. We
must never stop with the gesture Of
q label.

thing that makes relations more
pleasant at home makes your life
that much more enjoyable.
Basic Principles
Will Help.
The young modern who is hav-
ing trouble with his family can i'm
prove the situation amazingly by
following few simple rules. First,
he will try to be as considerate Of
his parents and his brothers and
sisters as he is of his friends out
side the home.
Second, he'll use his home as q
laboratory to practice his good man.
ners. The benefits will be two-fold.
He'll make his social technique
smoother through constant prac-
tice, and he'll inspire his family
to match his courtesy-after they
recover from their first shock Of
surprise.
Third, he'll realize that he is q
real member Of the family, and
he'll work for its welfare as he
would for the welfare Of his club
or his class or his team. He'll
willingly carry his share Of the
load, do his share of the chores,
and expect only his share of the
rewards.
Fourth, he'll try to make him.
self an individual of whom the
family can be proud. Mothers and
fathers are simply hungry for a
chance to stick out their chests and
brag about their sons and daugh-
tiers. Anything creditable you do,
any honor you receive, any victory
you win, initiates their egos as much
as 1t does yours. Make them proud
OF you, and watch how much nicer
they'll be to you!
Then Try to Get
Their Viewpoint.
And finally, he'll try to put him.
self In his parents shoes now and
then, looking at things from their
point Of view. This will be difficult,
for it isn't easy for a young modern
to leap ahead 20 or 30 years and
see things from the angle of an
older generation. But even if you
don't fully understand, you can
recognize the fact that there can
be another viewpoint besides your
own, and that it may have a sound
| basis.

large overstuffed chair was slip COW
cred in plain bluegreen linen and
another occasional chair In black
with small flower design in red,
yellow and bluegreen which looked
like old needlepoint. The long, mar
row upholstered couch which formed
the base of the corner bookcase had
pleated ruffle of the bluegreen
linen to match the base Of the slip
covered chair across the room. The
zipped-on removable cover on the
top of the couch was made Of q
good looking plaid cotton material
hard woven to stand heavy wear.
It had a cream and grey background
with an over stripe Of red and
green. It was perfect for our pur-
pose as it repeated the soft back
ground colors of the rug. This was
another great find at 10 cents q
yard, a closeout Of Z yards Of q
much more expensive piece. We
corded it with the red Of the cur
tains and tucked up in the corner
several soft cushions also covered
in red calico to repeat the red at
the windows across the room.
Painted Floor Is
Basic Color.
I will admit there is much more
design In this description than
sounds feasible, but the plain blue
green painted floor holds down that
color all around the room. Some
of the upholstery blends into the
wall color and others into the rug.
The draperies appear to be solid COL
or, but the important thing is that
the red. blue-green and yellow are
balanced In the proper proportions
so that the whole room falls into
place around it.
A fine old mahogany mirror hangs
over the mantel, giving depth to
the room. A lovely old pair of
Sheffield candlesticks with much of
the copper showing through are
placed at either side and a low bowl
for flowers reposes directly under
the mirror. The furniture Is mainly
old mahogany, but the two occa-
sional chairs have painted frames in
a soft antique green. The pictures
are old portraits in deep frames on
one side of the room, while q pair
of nice hunting prints with pink
coated huntsmen are hung over the
bookcase. There are touches of
copper, brass and gilt to point up
the room and here and there piece
of black pottery for accent. Lamps
have parchment shades which have
golden tone when lighted, and,
though there is no formality, not
even importance, to the room, there
is charm, comfort, glowing color and
deep satisfaction there.
The cost of materials to renew
the whole room, including the trans
formation of a loveseat, two occa-
sional chairs, one large overstufed
chair and the couch and draperies
came to $35.11.

50 are brothers and sisters. They
aren't much different from other
people, either-even though 1t some
times seems to you that they are
considerably more difncult than
most.
Which means, unless we've missed
our signals, that parents and
brothers and sisters must be dealt
with In the same way as are people
outside the home. Your family loves
you in spite Of anything you may
or may not do to earn their adec-
ton. But liking you Is something
else. You've got to deserve that!
Do you honestly show as much
consideration for your own family
as you do for your friends, or your
friends families? II the man across
the street were kind enough to let
you take his car out for the eve
ning-perhaps when he really
wanted to use 1t himself-would you
burn up every spoonful of gas In
the tank and then bring it back
without thank-you? Your father
probably gets that kind of treat

and, finally, rearrange and pt1chase
new pieces to go with the old. These
and many other similar decisions
had to be made as we went along.
The south side of the house, the
living room side, which would
ordinarily be the sunniest, IN this
case nestled under huge towering
oak trees, which submerged that
whole side of the house in green
light. This was the exact opposite
of what one would expect OF that
exposure. In contrast, the north
side of the house, the dining room,
faced on an open field, and though
the north light is definitely cold
In comparison to the deep green
reflected from the trees 1t seemed
very clear.
From the standpoint of spacious
ness in the tiny house, and warmth
to counteract the green light, we
decided on butter yellow for the
downstairs part; living room, dining
room, kitchen and stair hall. The
living room paper is yellow with q
tinv hand-blocked flower OF soft red
and dull green. One is not aware
of distinct pattern, but OF a warm
textured surface. The WOODWORK IS
painted to match the yellow OF the
paper. Our one great asset in fur
nishing this room was a large 8 by
u hooked rug with background OF
green leaves on black surface.
Nosegays of flowers in the pattern
repeated our soft red. We also
possessed sheer ninon glass cur
tains in a pale cream, which were
so nice that they had to be used.
In a wild moment we decided to use
red draperies, but they had to be

Gus or likely to cut the room up

Calico Makes

We secured the town for mate
rial that was right in color, not
being at all particular what it was.
Expense was the only other re-
striction as we needed Is yards. We
felt that the surface should not be
silky, as all other materials in the
room had a dull "cottony" finish,
and after three trips we ran across
old-fashioned calico at Is cents a
yard. 1t had an all-over pattern
of a tiny flower in deep red on
a lighter red ground which broke
up the surface just enough to give
us what we needed. That was our
first triumph! Lined and pinch
pleated, they have the opulent ef-
feet of satin without the simmer.
A love seat and chair under the
two south windows had to be re-
upholstered, so to rule out the green
light from outside we selected a
pale gold material with a blue
green and grey stripe in it. This
did the trick and any ray of sun
that comes through the trees is
reflected a thousand times. The
