Dorothy Dix Says
In Common Humanity to Women,
Philanderer Should Not Marry

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We have
been going together for three years.
Do you think that is too short time
for couple to be engaged before
marrying? Do you think we could
live on between SIS and $40 a week?
Our furniture is all paid for and we
have no debts. LANKY.
Answer should think that three
years would give you ample time to
get to know each other and decide
whether you like each other well
enough to desire to spend the balance
OF your lives together. AS a matter
OF fact. a three-year engagement
should ybe ideal, for it is long enough
to test out your affection for each
other and yet not so long that love
and romance wear out through
weary waiting.
It may be possible for a couple to
live on the amount you mention, but
it will take fine managing to do so.
1t is a risk. and don't forget the
danger of there being sickness or
lack of work that may throw your
budget into the discard.

Best Known Designer

Thomas Chippendale, whose name
is perhaps best known Of all the
famous furniture craftsmen, worked
almost exclusively with mahogany
wood. He developed four. varia-
tions Of style, development and
refinement Of the Queen Anne,
Gothic, Chinese and French mo-
tifs. The early Chippendale furni-
ture was not always so comfortable,
because of the sharply carved dec
orative backs.
The early pieces by Chippendale
bore characteristics such as the cab
riole leg. center splats and bars,
pierced and scrolled. The ladder
backs he made at later date, and
he also made the fret backs and
square backs.
1t is interesting to note that the
claw-and- ball foot supposed to have
been used by him does not appear
in his own book.

Is Injurious
ToHealth
The Spine Should
Be Held Erect
At All Times
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.


If you would have a pretty figure
and facial beauty. look to your pos
ture! And not only when you are
standing and walking, but while
you work sitting down!
ONCE girls particularly should
check up on their positions while
they type or work at q desk. For
poor posture during working hours
leads to Ill health and certainly robs
a girl Of her beauty.
First, see If your table or desk
is the proper height for the chair
you sit in. II it is too low, get a
lower chair or have the one you
use shortened. Or If 1t is too hign,
put pillow in your chair or get a
taller chair.
When you sit in a chair to work
do not cross your knees! Rule ::
Sit on the full seat of the chair so
that the lower part Of your spine
is slightly supported by the back of
the chair. Pull in your abdomen
raise your chest and ease your
shoulders. At no time should you
feel stiff" in your posture, but sit
erectly with ease
The inclination is to rest on your
stomach while you are sitting. and
right there is where mischief begins.
What do you have a spine for If
not to support your shoulders and
head? Why use your stomach?
Strengthen your spine through exer-
else and keep your neck muscles
supple, for congestion and tenseness
at the back of your neck encourages
chronic fatigue, which eventually
leads to poor health.

firm sweet berries, and selling at re-
markably low prices. Therefore, for
those Of us who like to get jobs be-
hind US, it is q fine idea to turn
some of them into jelly and pre-
serves right now, rather than wait
ing for the shipments from nearer
by. The weather Is apt to be less
warm and steamy now than it will
be when homegrown berries are
available, and that is another argu-
ment in favor Of stocking the jam
closet as much In advance as pos
sible.
Among the recipes printed today
there are several old favorites that
have appeared before, but are al
ways In request whenever the pre-
serving season rolls around. Chief
among these is the one for "Wies-
baden Strawberries" one Of my
mothers priced recipes that seems
to be practically foolproof and to
offer delicious results. The berries,
when cooked, are whole and brightly
red, with a distinctive fresh flavor
that is very unusual. The secret
apparently lies In cooking only a
few Of the berries at time, so that
the fruit is not broken or mashed by
overcrowding in the kettle.
Before tackling the putting up"
Of fruits or vegetables, be sure that
all the equipment is In good order.
Check on the number of glasses and
jars in good condition; see that the
pressure cooker Is behaving properly,
and plan your day to include the
chore without interfering with q
dozen and one other projects. You
don't want to be found by return
ing husband in the same sad state
as was Meg in Little Women" when
she attempted to be true housewife
and stock the jam closet shelves
without first learning how!

Cool, delicate and fresh looking,
they are a joy because of their
instability as well as comfort
Those girls who like to sew their
own find cotton easy to make up,
too. Evening dresses of lawn, ba-
tiste and organdy are extremely
important this year, and many of
them have dainty designs and fra
gile, lacy patterns which adapt
themselves so we'll to the idea of
summer formals. For daytime
there are numerous types, and
new fabric called cotton surah is
of interest at the moment. 1t re-
sembles lustrous broadcloth, is
easily made up and perfect for
spectator sport clothes or children's
wear.
Linens, which generally come un-
der the higher priced bracket, are
fast returning to favor. For while
they faded into comparative fashion
obscurity, due to their unspeakable
habit of looking as though you had
slept in them. Now, however, with
the introduction of new crease
resistant methods, linens can take
their place with other summer fab
RIGS in popularity. Improved by
the manufacturers and approved by
Paris, linens may now be worn for
travelling and can be packed with
out too much damage Everything
from celery-crisp smooth weaves to
nubbed sports fabrics are included
in the linen lineup, and thank good
ness for the almost complete elimi-
nation of prim, starched and easily
mussed types of former years.
Light weight WOols
Make Fashion News.
Woods and court etiquette have
come into the limelight recently due
to the approaching visit of the
English royalty. AS friendly ges-
ture to the wool growers of Aus
tralia, South Africa, New Zealand
and the U. S. A., both the Queen
and First Lady have chosen sheer
wool dresses for their meeting Her
majesty's is a pastel blue, cool and
delicate. and popularity called queens
blue. Mrs Roosevelt's is azure blue,
and both are the lightweight type
that is expected to be so important.
While there are actually very few
new weaves, old standbys are ap-
pearing in lighter weight and new
colors, are soft and sheer. and often
printed in beautiful designs. One
of the newest tricks is to repeat the
outstanding color of your print frock
in q sheer wool coat, and this idea
is grand one for northbound trav-
elers this summer. They" say that
wool is ideal for beach togs, due to
the fact that it preserves an even
body temperature. After all, Arabs
wear wool burnous under the desert
sun and Eskimos choose it for Arctic
SHOWS, so why not?

Curtail Assignment
And Refrain From
Furnishing Him
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Mrs, can Nollie come out to
play?"
mo. I'm sorry, but Nollie didn't
do his work in school today so he
has to stay in now and do it, -~
"Oh. AL right"
/ The small boy turned away from
the door and walked sedately to the
gate, dashed through and yelled,
Nope. She won't let him come.
She's making him do his school les
sons"
"Gee!"
yeah. That's what she said"
Gee! He hasn't been out this
whole spring. Not once even. I'd
run away if my mother did that to
me. You can bet I wouldn't stay
in like that"
Yeah. But my mother wouldn't
make me stay in. She'd make me
do my lessons, but she wouldn't
make me stay in all the time. No
wonder he's so dopey and skinny.
You know what? I'm going to get
him out. Wait for me here"
The small boy went around the
house and stood under a window
and whistled. Another small boy
looked down at him. Come on
out. You can shinnys down the
post easy and I'll catch you fore you
hit the ground. Come on"
The small boy at the window
shook his head. No light shone in
his eyes, no eagerness shook his dull
tones. mo. I don't want to go
out. I'd rather stay in"
Incredulity kept the small boy
standing under the window silent.
He tried again when he got his
breath back. Nope. I'd rather
stay in," said the dull voice. The
window closed and the astonished
little boy below it went back to the
lot. Nope. He doesn't want to
come out. He says so his own self"
mo wonder he's such a dope.
Come on. Play ball"
Nollie was slow in school. When
the teacher gave the class 10 ex-
amples he had only three finished
when the bell rang. "You take them
home and do them and five more
besides,' said the teacher. you've
got to learn to work"
When the teacher dictated 20
words to the class Nollie had four
written correctly. you take the
list home and you write every word
10 times and you take 10 extra ones
for not finishing in time. You've
got to learn to speed up and get
your work done"
BY the end of the day Nollie had
piled up enough back work, to keep
an ordinary child busy for several
days, and he was not the ordinary
boy. He was rather helpless, slow
child who needed extra care, special
attention and much encouragement.
The teacher mistakenly punished
him with extra work and his moth
er mistakenly tried to help by in
sisting that this work be done.
Writing words 10 times does not
teach child to spell. It teaches
him to be careless about penman-
ship and to disregard the form of
words. Doing extra work does not
brighten a slow childs mind, but
dulls it. Instead of giving such a
child more work he should be given
less. Keeping him in to do school
work instead of sending him out to
play does not help brighten him. 1t
increases the cause for his dullness
and makes him worse all the way
round. He needs shorter school
day, curtailed assignment. plenty
of free play in the open, and much,
much encouragement. His will is
not at fault. His condition is re-
sponsible, not he.

DEAR MISS DIX: My work and
happiness are greatly affected, and
for the worse, by my inability to keep
out of love. Ever since I was IL
years old I have been in love. Just
one case after another. Heretofore
while I was plunged into the deepest
kind of despair as each of these
affairs came to an end, I recovered
from it by the simple expedient OF
transferring by affections to another
girl. Now, however, I fear I am in
love for keeps. I can't sleep, food
tastes like sawdust, nothing has any
interest for me. I can't account fol-
it, as the girl has nothing in COM
mon with me. She is below me So
cially, educationally, all sorts OF
ways. Definitely she is not my ideal
but I don't know what to do about
her because I don't know whether ]
will fall out Of love with her and in
love with the next girl I meet or not
Is there any hope for me? Or is my
romanticiSm incurable? r. A. c.
Answer-Evidently you are born
philanderer with an almost super
human ability to spread your af-
fections over the entire feminine sex
You will never be really in love with
any particular woman or even prefer
any particular type. 1t matters not
to you whether a girl is pretty or
homely, clever or dull, short or tall,
fat or thin, blond or brunei. All
that she needs to be is new. A
stranger. Some one you haven't seen
before. 1t is the love chase you love,
not the woman.
I don't believe that a philanderer
can help philandering. He is just
built that way. Unstable. Fickle
Variable as the wind. No woman on
earth can ever bind or hold him. He
Is Just as much bound to fit from
girl to girl as the butterfly Is from
flower to flower. But in common
humanity to women he should never
marry.
For a philandering husband is q
wife's crown of sorrow, because he is
nearly always so attractive that she
loves him in spite of knowing how
little worth loving he is.

not only look attractive, put also Ieel
cool and comfortable, and their
adaptability to washing and cleaning
Is q factor to be considered. This
season you will find that materials
measure up very well to your speci-
flcations and have achieved COM
bination Of practicability and charm
that is real relief.
OF chief interest at the moment
Is the trend to washable fabrics.
This year we'll be as conscious of the
laundering possibilities of our clothes
as we will be of their other virtues,
and a fine idea it is, too. With
Washington temperatures what they
are, the wise girl looks to her wash
able fabrics if she considers her COM
fort and her budget.
Cottons and linens should be
prime favorites, for they meet all
requirements. You'll find these two
running mates in daytime and eve
ming clothes, cleverly disguised as
the gypsy, little girl or new Dutch
silhouette. AS to color, anything
goes. Some say that this will be
Z very big white summer" but we
feel sure that all the colors will
be well represented. At the moment
the cry seems to be ANY color as
long as it's green" but, important
as this is, it doesn't mean the aboli-
ton of everything else. AS we men
toned before, watch the Importance
Of brown-it should be big, espe-
cially for travel.
CottOns Are
Important.
Too much cannot be said on the
subject of cottons for summer wear.
