PATTERN 249
TAILORED STYLE
so YOUNG: TRIM

Here 1t Is your IMPORTANT
wool dress Of teh season! Casually
styled. line-perfect, straightforward
as youth itself, Pattern 249 is Just
what you've been wanting to take
you smartly through winter days.
Claire Tilden has planned 1t for
easy sewing from the first slash Of
teh scissors to the final pressing.
There's unusual back interest in
sapling-slim panelled lines and in
q full-length buttoning that gives
nice height, decorative trim and is
convenient as well. Another panel
down the front looks most effective
cut on the bias, if your material has
definite pattern. You may choose
between long and short sleeves. The
collarlesS, round neckline makes a
fine jewelry base. You'll want to
stitch up prettily scalloped collar
and cuff set too, to wear for a re-
freShing change. Aren't they becom-
ing in contrast! The noval button
arrangement gives added fashion
interest without any extra trouble.
This frock smart with or without
the buckled belt, is a real can't-do-
without style.
Pattern 249 is cut in misses and

NEW PROBLEM WIFE, 1.-THE AFTERNOON
DRINKER," is WORRYING HUSBANDS

a slightly different story Of the woman Afternoon
Drnker.
They say the drinking takes place at bridge par
ties. The women meet around, first at one house
and then at another, and sit down and quietly get
themselves pastered while they play bridge and
gossip.
Either way the drinking is done, the husbands
don't like 1t. But they don't know what they can do
about It, They raise Cain now and then, but that
only upsets the household and the little woman is
back at the bridge tables the tavern before the
week is up
The husbands hate this afternoon drinking by
their wives for several reasons. E1ley are repused
by the unfeminne picture Of women sitting around
drinking all afternoon If there are children, they
hate the thought Of their coming home from school
to find their mothers smelling Of liquor. And they
certainly don't like the idea of much of the fam
lily budget going for liquor.
SOLUTION: GET HOLD OF THE PURSE STRINGS
The only thing (when protesting does no good for
these to do is to get hold of the purse strings
They should pay all household bills themselves and
not give their wives enough money for drinking.
It's an old fashioned method Of discipline. But
the only way women ever found to keep their hard
drinking husbands from wasting all they earned
was to get hold of their pay checks and hang on.
And men married to Afternoon Drinkers may have
to resort to the same money method of laying down
the law

It comes under the heading Of
downright conceit for any mature
woman to assume that her brains.

make UP completely for bad groom
ing and general unattractiveness.
SO says Manka Rubinstein, wide
" known lecturer, and sister Of the
famous beauty authority, Helena
Rubinstein.
mo matter how much he loves
and understands her, you may be
sure that q husband, regardless OF
his age, likes to be proud Of his
wife's appearance as well as Of her
fine mind, good disposition and so
on" the expert continues.
"Of course, If husband has any
sense at all he doesn't expect his
fifty-year- wife TO be the raving
beauty she was at twenty. He
knows that she cannot be--any
more than he can be the dashing
handsome youth she married.
YOU DO NOT
NEED LEISURE
However, he has a right to eX-
pect her to stay youthful by retain
ing healthful vitality and an active
mind-neither Of which is to be
confused with girlish mannerisms
or an adolescent attitude toward
life.
when he Is mature, he wants
mature woman by his side, OF
course. But he'll be happier and
prouder II she Is perfectly
groomed, reasonably slender,
smooth skinned mature woman.
Any wife makes q great mistake In
assuming that her looks don't mat
ter to her husband, regardless OF
his age or hers"
Mile. Rubinstein points out that
you don't have to be a woman of
leisure, with time and money to
spend In gymnasiums, In order TO
maintain your figure, although nat
rally professional supervision OF ex-
ercises is a big advantage.
She insists that will power-not

Admitting that she has long since
passed her own flftieth birthday,
the attractive beauty expert, who
doesn't look over forty, goes on:
SHE WANTS 10 STAY
YOUNG GRACEFULLY
II cannot believe that any woman
honestly wants to grow old grace
fully. What she really wants Is to
stay young gracefully.
"And she certainly can dc 1t. That
Is, II she will continue through the
years to eat no more than her body

A Practical Personal
Service Mask

SERVICE MASK
The mask described the other day,
as. commonly used by surgeons and
others in the operating room, is
simple to Ynake-stitch together not
less than ten layers Of gauze
(washed cl1eesecloth) having mesh
Of 80 threads to the inch, in an OBJ
long by 8 inches, and to each COR
ner sew a tape. Wear the mask COW
ering nose and mouth, tying one
pair Of tapes together over the ears
behind the head, the other under
the ears behind the neck. Ordin-
airy laundering, that is, washing
with soap and hot water and IRON
ing (sterilizing) is sufficient to keep
the mask in use until 1t Is worn out.
Owing to sophomoronic question:
ing of the efficacy Of such q mask
it may be well to mention that the
purpose Of the mask Is to stop or
catch the spray droplets which shoot
forth from the mouth during con-
versation and so to prevent trans
fire. Of such droplets (perhaps germ
laden) from the worker to the client
or vice versa. Incidentally, If the
mask is removed and then put on
again, care should be taken to keep
the outside outside. TO this end the
mask should be marked on one side
so that the wearer may always wear
1t right side out.
Such a mask is not too comfort
able to wear tor hours or all day
1t is ideal, however, for temporary
or emergency use in the home, when
1t Is necessary to be In contact with
or to nurse. a member Of the family

For those rendering personal serv-
ice--nose and throat specialists OF
physicians examining and treating
patients with throat trouble, ocu-
lists, optometrists, opticians, den.
lists, hair dressers, BARRIERS there Is
the transparent mask devised by DR.
Lewis J. Silvers Of New York, noted
exponent Of diathermy extirpatior
Of the tonsils. The mask Is made OF
piece Of washed X-ray safety Aim
or firm cellophane 8 inches by in
ches, with corners rounded off, SNAP
fasteners inserted 1-2 inches from
the upper corners, by means Of
which the mask is quickly snapped
in place ON the head band (of head
mirror or head lamp used by the
DOCTOR or on a plain head band to
be worn by the worker who does
not require mirror or lamp. This
mask Is perfectly transparent and
stands away from direct contact
with the face, so that 1t is not I'M
comfortable to wear. It should be
useful to many such personal service
workers.
In these days when laymen are
becoming critical of the aseptic tech
nique Of the physician, specialist
dentist-more so than some profess
sional people seem to realize-it be-
hooves the professions, guilds OF
trades to follow a technique that Is
above question or suspicion. 1t Is al

Court Requested
To Evict Chow
From Apartment

A request for an injunction
against keeping chow dog in the
apartment house at 2707 Adams Mill
road NV. was before District Court
today.
The suit filed by Attorney c. L.
Dawson pointed out that the dog
was being kept in the apartment by
J. B. Mccoy despite house regula-
tions prohibiting the keeping OF
dogs, cats and other animals in the
building except on written permis-
sion of the board of directors of the
corporation, which operates the CO.
operatively owned apartment.
The court was informed yesterday
that Mr.. Mccoy has been notified
several times of the rules prohibit
ing his keeping the dog. Mr.. Daw-
son, who is president of the corpora
ton, said informally that, I'VE are
not dog haters but we want the
court to determine whether the
rules can be enforced"

Petition 10 Roosevelt
Asks Pardon for Jordan

President Roosevelt has been pc
titioned by New York City jury
to grant a complete pardon to
Thomas Jordan of the Garden I
Shoppe murder case if a new trial
cannot be ordered, it was revealed
yesterday in a letter to Representa-
tive Shafer. Republican, of Michi-
gan.
Mr.. Shafer received letter from
Sidney Struble. a New York attor-
ney, including copy of a petition
said to have been adopted by IL
members of the New York Jury
which rendered an adverse verdict
in the libel action by Leslie C. Gar
nett, former United States Attorney;
Roger Robb, former Assistant United
States Attorney, and Henry T
Whelan, Washington attorney
against Macfadden Publications
Inc. The plaintiffs had asked for
judgments of 100000, 100000 and
$10O, 900, respectively, in the unsuc-
cessful suits.
The jury, in its petition, as re-
ported to Representative Shafer,
stated that it had not the slightest
question that if all the evidence had
been presented at Jordan's trial it
would have raised at least a reason
able doubt which would have led
to his acquittal.
1--WE are clear" the jury said
that Jordan did not have a fair
trial. We respectfully request
that if Thomas Jordan cannot be
given a new trial, that he be re-
leased"
