Wife's Protests Will Not Stop
Husbands Philanderine

and your luXuries and your husband,
who is good friend and companion
even If his name isn't Joseph.
DEAR MISS DIX-My wife and
have been married seven months
and we fight continually. What
shall we do about it? Is divorce the
right way out, or what? a
Answer-The only way to stop
quarreling is just to stop it. If when
your wife begins to argue you will
pick up a book and go to reading
and refuse to answer her it will
automatically shut her up. And the
plan will work in reverse just as
well, and she can stop you from
fighting with her by getting out of
your way. Don't get divorce until
you at least try this method.
DEAR DOROTHY DIX am Is
years old Have a good and per-
manent job and I want to marry a
girl have been in love with since
was in the first grade in school.
She is a fine girl. we'll educated, has
good manners, but my family objects
because her family didn't come over
in the Mayf1ower and win the Revo-
lutionary War. while mine did But
if any of them have ever done any
thing since to get in who's Who"
I have never heard of it. My parents
say they will disinherit me if I marry
this girl What about it? PAUL.
Answer-If you are IS you are old
enough to know your own mind, and
if you are self-supporting you don't
have to ask anybody's permission to
get married, SO 60 along and marry
your sweetheart and be happy. All
talk of disinheriting a son because
he doesn't let mamma and pop pick
out his wife is too silly to discuss
Anyway, the family always gets over
being snooty and by the time the
first baby comes they think they
made the match, no matter how
much they opposed it.

I used to think it was nice Of
people to recognize the fact that
you might be busy when they
dropped in on you, and prefaced
their call by saying, Are you very
busy?" or, II hope I'm not keeping
you from anything important" But
I've changed my mind. I think it's
far nicer of them to say nothing at
all, and to figure it out for them
selves.
The reason I've changed my mind
is this: 1t always seems to me that
the man who says, Il hope I'm not
keeping you from anything impor-
tant," never pays any attention to
my answer, and always stays hours
beyond his welcome. Furthermore
he annoyS me when he first puts
foot into my home or Office, merely
because he seems to take for granted
that he himself is the most important
thing that could have happened to
me all day.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX-My hus-
band and are in our middle fifties
and have been married since our
early youth. We have no children.
My husband is good business man,
honorable in all his dealings and is
greatly respected by his many
friends. However. I have long sus-
pected him of philandering and have
often thought of confronting him
with my suspicious, but he Is so kind
and generous to me and provides me
with nice home and car and every
comfort and luxury, and because we
get along so well together I hesitate
to do it. I am afraid I could not
change him even though I talked to
him. and with his disposition
might make matters worse. What do
you think? UNDECIDED.
AnsWer-When q woman is in her
middle fifties she Is done with ro-
nance and should look at marriage
from practical rather than senti-
mental viewpoint. Hence I think
that you would be extremely foolish
to break up your home just because
your husband is philandering little.
1t is humiliating, of course, to a
wife for her husband to have a
wandering foot, but when she is
aging, as time says. it doesn't fill her
with the rage and jealousy that it
did when she was young and felt
that she should be all-in-all to him.
Sometimes, indeed, woman is
rather glad to have other women
take husband who needs to be
constantly amused off of her hands
and leave her to her own diversions.
Surely you must realize with your
experience of life, that it never stops
a philanderer from philandering for
his wife to protest against it and
tell him that she knows it. No
matter how much he promises that
he will never do it again, he chases
of after the next skirt that passes
his way.
Save your face by pretending to
know nothing of your husbands
little affairs, and keep your home

What Every Woman Should
Know About Furniture
By Jeanne Hudson. Ne1U York:
Frederick A. Stokes Co.

By Jeanne Hudson. NeD York:
Frederick A. Stokes Co.
This new book about furniture
will interest every woman who loves
her house. The title is a formidable
one but don't let it frighten you;
it is the only ponderous part of the
whole volume.
Jeanne Judson, the author, has
been writing and lecturing on furni-
ture for years. AS editor of a furni-
ture trade magazine she has her
finger on the pulse of the markets,
and watches the reaction of new
trends in furniture design on her
audience. This understanding of
what the woman of good taste and
average purse wants, combined with
her knowledge of what manufac-
turers and designers are doing, has
made possible this attractive and
useful book.
She has avoided lengthy discourses
on the history and background of
antiques, and has given us just
enough of their tradition to explain
its reputation and perseverance to
the present day. Many, many splen-
did pictures show groups and indi-
vidual pieces, not of fine unattain-
able museum articles, but reproduc-
tons and adaptations of traditional
furniture that may be purchased in
the stores in our own cities for rea-
sonable prices. AS a guide to good
taste and fine furniture it is one OF
the most useful and valuable books
offered to that vast profession OF
"homemakers" that we have seen
for some time.

A white china leaf-shaped platter
is ideal for those dainty little tea

OF using it is to attach the radio and
pull the key for the time that you
want 1t to start playing in the morn

an alarm clock doesn't do the trick.

In cafe society vernacular, man.
ners are certainly on the skids! The
latest slide-down is that of the

whether she is playing a Scarlet

This trick, as old as Woman's wiles,
is to put objects of hers in his pos
session to give her an excuse to call

show too much interest in him. "Oh,
Arthur. give me my compact
please!" Obviously, the more sep
arate items, the greater number OF
times she can interrupt him. no
matter with whom he may at the
moment be talking.
From an entirely different angle,
it is inconsiderate to ask any man
to stuff his pockets so that the
smooth fit of his evening clothes
breaks out in bumps. Then, too,
powder smudge and lipstick smeared
on the lining Of his pockets is not
the sort of thing that is pleasing to
any man. I might add that this
comment is really in answer to let
ter from the man whose admiration
a certain girl has lately lost be-
cause he was made helpless by this
young woman's bad manners. BY
coincidence another man has just
written: us man 'impolite' if he
makes fuss about having his girl
make a dumping ground of his
pockets for her powder compact,
lipstick, handkerchief, cigarette case
lighter, even her comb, when they

So to him and to others, the only
answer seems to be that unless he
can give her present of an eve

have to carry it when she goes out
with him) there seems to be nothing
that the man can do about it except
ask girl out who likes to keep hel
possessions neatly to herself!

UP to few years ago you were
offered choice of three or four
styles of piano, in two or three
woods, and you tried to select one
that seemed best in design, in a
finish that matched the majority of
the furniture in your living room,
and with that the family was out
fitted" with a piano for all time, be-
cause they were good and expensive.
Nowadays they are not so expensive,
and you may have them finished in
almost any way you desire.
Upholstering New
And Attractive.
If you have modern apartment

holstered in material to match the
color scheme of your room. Or you
may, if you wish, buy your piano lin
the muslin is, you may buy
it complete in your specified finish
and order or furnish material for the
upholstered part yourself. In this
way your choice is almost unlimited,
and your piano becomes an integral
part of the decoration of your room,
as much a part of it as your dra-
peries or your large sofa.
The grand piano is always the most
graceful instrument. If you are a
true music lover, play a good deal
yourself or have friends that play,
it may be SO placed in your room
that, playing, you face the room and
guests or listeners face you. There
are many small grands made with
complete keyboard and full range of

graceful composition. These come in
the traditional pianoforte types.
which will combine beautifully with
your 18th century mahogany, either
antique or reproduction, just as the
console types come in the old-fash-
Toned spinet models as well as the
sleek modern styles.
Placing a piano is no longer a
problem in temperature or humid
ity but one of taste. preference and
good composition from the furni-
ture viewpoint, and comfort, good
light and presentation from the mu-
sician's angle.

No Longer the
White Elephant.
Though the piano is fundamen-
tally musical instrument and that
must be it's first consideration, its
bulk and case make it also an artl-
Gle of furniture. In the last few
years piano makers have offered
new designs and shapes adapting
the piano to all circumstances OF
space and decoration so that it Is
no longer the white elephant
around which everything else in the
room must be adjusted.
The grand and baby grand piano
were often difficult because of the
difference in shape of the two sides
of the case. Two of the piano
makers have eliminated this diff

both bass and treble sides.
The upright piano, made popular
In early 1900 because it took up less
space, has ever been of too clumsy
proportions to fit gracefully with

with alacrity everywhere. Just the
