Dorothy Dix Says
Lacking Love Detector, We Must
Rely Upon Our Own Judgment

youngsters can analyze their emo
tions and tell whether the thrills
and chills and hectic fevers they are
experiencing indicate fatal case of
love sickness, or just slight attack
Of romance that will pass in a few
days.
There are, however, a few tests
that any amateur can apply to the
party of the other part that will 60
long way toward giving him or
her a line on whether what he or
she is experiencing is real love, or
near love. or just temporary de-
lusion. II, for instance, you think a
homely girl is Miss America, or an
ugly man better looking than Robert
Taylor, or If you see the ugly duck
lings as they really are and they
still look better than any swans to
you, that's love.
If you can see all Of the faults OF

girl is high-tempered and naggy
and bossy; if you can see that a
boy is dictatorial and selfish and

they are Mary's or Johns little ways

If what you feel for a girl makes

of her; if what you feel for a boy
makes you willing to cook and wash
and scrub for him and go without
pretty clothes and parties just to be

way to fix rods into the wall? The

is no wood around the frame in
which to fasten a screw.
MRS. H. G. @.
Answer
1 agree with you that hoor-length
draperies would be best in your
case. There are two tricks that will
help you. You may use a valance
board, that may be bought from any
Of the shops selling curtain fixtures,
which has one, two or three rods
attached for any type Of drapery.
This Is fastened on the outside OF
the wall and you hang the curtains
from the board. Or one of the
drapery shops will install rods for
you that are anchored by an in
genious device so that the walls are
not marred and the rod does not
pull out.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I have hardwood (oak) floors In
my home. I have shellacked them
and they have turned dark. How
can I restore them to the natural
color without having them scraped?
MRS. M. M. E.
Answer
You may tighten them a good
deal by removing all the shellac with
varnish remover, cleaning with fine
steel wool dipped in wood alcohol
and then refinishing. But to get
back and keep the real oak color
you will have to get down to a new
wood surface with a sanding ma
chine and refinish with treatment
that will not darken the wood.

ment it looks as though Washing
ton will see very few. However, it's
still early in the season, and with
the play that New York Is giving
them we may eventually see many
in all the shops here.
Black Suede Makes
First Fall Shoe.
Your first selection of the season
is likely to be black suede. Par
ticularly for dress is this favored,
and for more casual shoes suede
and calf combinations are shown.
Later in the season you will see
calf and other leather shoes. ALI
gator, however, is most important in
leather shoes at the present. In
black and brown it's being shown
everywhere. Brown, incidentally, is
slated for big winter season, and
the shops are getting number of
shoes in dark tones in stock. Greens
and wines are talked of, but not so
prevalent at the moment. And right
here we'd like to make a little COM
ment on navy. It's always been one
of our pet unanswered queries as to
why navy is big spring, but never
fall color. We've asked numerous
buyers and Stylists, none of whom
can give us satisfactory answer.
Their only reply is: THE manufac-
turers don't show navy for fall and
we can't buy it." That still doesn't
explain to our satisfaction why navy
shouldn't be just as good as black
or brown or wine. 1t may surprise
you to know that one shop reports
a great many requests for navy at
this season, and we even saw a navy
dress the other day! Maybe we're
gradually coming around to the idea.
And that's the footwear picture
for fall . .. New York praises wedge
heels, lowered heels, closed toes,
black suede and comfort. For the
most part we have adopted all Of
these and should have wide selec-
ticn of styles and silhouettes.
incidentally, you may be inter-
ested to hear about a new process
which is said to render leather &C
lively antiseptic. The Innings of
many new shoes have undergone a
process which. they tell us, makes
them impervious to perspiration,
which in turn deteriorates shoe
leather. This idea, which is much
too long and involved to explain in
detail, simply means that the in
side of your shoes will be kept in
better condition for a longer length
of time through the treatment.
Many of the new shoes have this
feature in which the leather is said
to be antiseptic and self-sterilizing.

A great deal is said about the lie

A great deal is said about the lie
detector. which is an ingenious
gadget that tells whether a speaker
is uttering the truth or not. But
what we really need is a love de-
tector which will enable men and
women to know for certain whether
the feeling they are experiencing
is the grand passion, or a passing
fancy, or merely case of indi-
gestion.
1t would seem that 1t would be
the easiest thing in the world for
people to know whether they are
in love, but in reality it is the
most difficult, and 1t is the one
thing about which they make the
most mistakes. Nor is this strange
for not many of US are great lovers
who can set our hearts upon one
ideal man or woman and be faith
full to him or her until death
Rather We are> like children in a
candy shop, surrounded by so many
sweeties that we don't know which
we like the best, or which to choose
Also, time and place have so much
to do with our emotions. A man
can think himself in love with q
pretty girl in white dress on a
moonlight night. A girl can see
the hero of her dreams in any per-
sonable youth with a fresh shave
and haircut and a flower in his
buttonhole. Also, our tastes change
as we grow older so that the cuties
we adored at 20 revolt us as much
at 40 as would the steady diet Of
chocolate creams that we once
craved.
Furthermore, our darned ole
hearts are too choosy. They love
Arabella because she Is beautiful
and Sara because she is intelligent;
John because he is such a grand
character, and Dick because he Is
such a fascinating hellion. And sc
there we are. Lacking a love de.
tector, how are we to tell which
love is going to last and which
one is the real, true, blown-in-t the.
bottle one?
No wonder so many boys ane
girls can't decide between the riva
attractions of Mamie and Susie, OF
whether it is John or Tom who ha.
captured their maiden fancies. Nc

women discover after marriage thai

Mortified at the suggestion, with

DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
The roof of our garage is ac-
cessible from one of the bedrooms
and we would like to use it as q
summer porch. Can you tell US
something about canvas roof decks
for this purpose?
H. L. E.
| Answer
Set the canvas in heavy coating
Of nnseed oil and white lead, or
manufactured bedding paint.
Unless you expect hard use tgames,
etc. to be given to your roof deck
light or medium weight canvas will
be adequate. No. 6 duck should
do the job. 1t comes in 80 and SO
inch widths and should be laid
so that the strips overlap 2 inches.
Use e-quarter-inch copper tacks
to fasten the canvas to the sheath
ing of the roof. Where the two
edges overlap the tacks for the bot
tom edge should be inches apart,
while those on the upper edge should
be as close as three-quarters inch.
Apply three coats of prepared deck
paint or lead-and-oi allowing each
coat to dry thoroughly.

nishings, interior decorations,
etc, should be addressed to

and the word is going around as con-
fldentially as news releases, maga-
zine articles and newspaper fashion
columns will allow, that you're going
to see and wear more comfortable
shoes than at any time in recent
years. What in the world do you
suppose has happened? 1t couldn't
be that women have come to realize
the Importance of comfort There
must be an ulterior motive.
In addition, to conform with rich
fabrics and strictly "lady-like" FASH
Ions including the hustle, shoes are
dignified, we'll made and luxuriously
simple. They contain many of the
features found during the spring and
summer, plus a few new ideas which
make them interesting.
Chatting with some of the we'll
known shoe buyers here in WASH
ington, we asked and received the
answer to a number of questions
which we feel are important. So.
In case you care. it seems as though
these things will be talked about.
More Closed Toes
To Be Seen.
We know that the first question
you might ask is, will open-toes
be worm" Well say, Eyes, if you
want them" There are great many
shoes being shown with open toes,
but, at the same time, we're seeing
many more closed toes than in the
past few seasons. The smartest
shoes and the newest ones are closed,
and the we'll nodded pump seems to
be first choice for the season. Those
open toes which are worn are likely
to be limited to dressy afternoon
and evening wear.
For every occasion you'll see lower
heels. There's where the comfort
angle comes in-We told you there
was an ulterior motive But in all
seriousness they're the fashion news
of this fall Heels are lower in every
type of shoe from sport styles to
evening, and the blessing is that
they've been done so successfully
You need not think of low heels
as old or unattractive, for they've
combined all the styling and smart
ness of high-heeled models with the
comfortable new types Often they
take odd shapes which in no way
limit their virtues of variability
The wedge heel is big in New York,
but in the majority of our local
chops the idea has not taken so we'll
Many of the buyers do not antici-
pate carrying any of them, while
others will stock a few Those who
like them say they may be success

Using Ring Of
Mans First
Fiancee
There May Be Good
Reason for This
Double Duty
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: Can I be ex-
pected to wear the engagement
ring of another woman? My flance
was engaged before and at that time
bought a beautiful ring for his
flancee, which she later returned
to him. He now expects me to
wear this ring as is, and I think
that is more than any man has a
right to expect even of some one
who loves him most. What do you
think Mrs. Post?
Answer-I think it very strange
that he should be willing to trans
fer this same ring to you. But per-
haps he feels that it goes with his
heart, and in taking this from her
and giving it to you, the ring that
was its symbol goes with it. If
were you, would try to be tranquil
and find out how he feels about
it, and then tell him you under
stand but that you feel differently
If you still do.
Dear Mrs. Post: Will you tell
me, according to today's fashion
what would look best as decoration
on grand piano which stands In
our living room?
Answer-A few easily removed
framed photographs, one or two
big ones or else two or three smaller
ones, standing on not too big
piece of brocade-or on the bare
piano.

LEVEL OF LAKE
WILL Be RAISED

After two months of pleading
by home owners around Lsks
Steilacoom the county moved
Thursday to start raising the level
of the lake to its usual summer
level.
Superior Judge f. d. Hodge APP
proved a plan 10 have the county
engineer. under authority of the
state hydraulics engineer. raise the
lake each spring and lower it again
in the late fall as has been the
custom in past years. This spring,
because Of dispute over which
governmental bodies had authority
to regulate the lake, it was not
raised during the usual high-water
period in Clover creek.
Il will be raised gradually by
addition of three-ineh planks at
the outlet so the flow in the lower
creek will not be cut off completely
at any time. A plank was to be
rushed into place Thursday to take
advantage of a little increase in
flow from recent rains.
Summer level will be two and
three-quarters feet above the bot
tom of the old south end culvert.
which will be about 81 inches above
the present level. Lowering of
the lake has been practiced partly
as convenience to residents along
the lake to permit cleaning up their
beaches and work on lighthouses
and bulkheads during the winter.
Stranded high and dry this spring
when the level wasn't raised, some
have been unable to use their
boating and bathing facilities or
to pump water out Of the lake to
irrigate their lawns and gardens.
