This clever frock Is artfully de-
signed to emphasize all the charms
of a junior figure! The smooth
princess line molds the waist to
extra slimness; there's shirring at
the sides of the bodice in front, to
give fulness where petite figures
need it. The little-boy collar is a
type that you should really be in
the 11-to-19 size range in order to
wear with real success-it's so youth
full and wide-eyed in effect! Pattern
No. 1903 is a two-way fashion,
too: notice the little sketch, with
broad contrast down the front.

to wear rubbers. But, of course, she

pretty well soaked, and as soon as
we got in the movies she took her

Manual for
Mattresses
Helpful
Little Book Offers
Much Practical
Information
BY BETSY CASWELL,
Woman's Editor.

There's a little book that will slip
easily into a pocket or purse. that
should be the guiding star of any
one intending to follow the career
of a waitress-professional or
domestic. While primarily designed
to aid those falling in the first class,
workers in private homes may also
gain some valuable hints from the
contents of The Efficient Waitress
Manual" by J. o. Dahl, published
by the Dahls of Stamford, Conn.
The book is one of a series called
1.-THE Gold Book Library" in which
the volumes are often boiled down"
versions of larger, more expensive
books. They are all devoted to
information and instructions along
practical lines in various profess
sions, etc, and in this condensed
form are inexpensive, easily handled,
and very readable.
The Efficient Waitress Manual"
guides one safely through the start
of career which may lead to more
tips, larger salary, and, eventually.
promotion to a more important
position. Starting with a chapter
entitled strictly Personal" in
which suggestions for a living
routine, bathing, dressing and so
on are given, the book progresses
through table setting, ushering, TAX
ing orders for the various meals,
party-banquet service, the serving
of wines, handling children's menus,
and even gives a table for the
length of time various dishes will
need for completion-so that
hurried diner can be accurately in
formed on how long he will have
to wait for his meal.
AS Mr.. Dahl says in his introduc-
ton, "18 years of hospitality service
have taught me that there is a
large percentage Of the American
public that appreciates and will pay
literally for good service. This
book will help you to give it," 1t
certainly should, in my opinion!

foot of the bed, all is well, but many
are the felines who think nothing of
nudging their chosen humans in the
middle Of the night, motioning for
the covers to be raised and promptly
ducking under the blankets. The
human thus "honored" is likely to
find his nights rest completely
ruined.
Because cats weigh only few
pounds and humans well over a
hundred as a rule, complications
arise. The weight of the two-legged
occupant of the bed causes the mat
tress to sink in, and the cat, having
snuggled comparatively close for
the sake of warmth, promptly slides
down this little hill, landing against
his bedfellow. Then the human
moves over, fearing to squash kitty,
the cat rolls down the next hill and
the procedure continues until the
human finds himself clinging bat
like to the edge Of the bed and the

Also a problem is the cat who in

him to wake violently and unhap-

The only known solution to the
problem is to deposit kitty, basket
and all, outside the bedroom door.
Then forget about him.
On, and before WE forget, we must
tell those who've inquired, that
little flash lights with ring in the
end which may be fastened to the
back of a pups collar or harness
can now be purchased in a local
store. They're excellent for dogs who
roam at night.

Cats prefer high spots

family. Under these conditions,
there Is a good chance of its being
accepted.
The second choice, selected by the
feline alone, is likely to be the back
corner of a high shelf, bookcase or
clothes closet. Several explanations
have been offered for the motive
behind this habit of choosing lofty
spot. One reason Is perhaps, the
unconscious hardening back to cave
and mountain shelf-dwelling an
cestors, but another point is that
heat rises and warmth-loving crea-
ture like the cat naturally looks for
snug surroundings.
Angle number three in the feline
slumber situation arises from the
cat who insists upon sleeping with
his master or mistress. Such stu
uation is fraught with complications.

DEAR BOSS:
If you think you're hearing lot
about the American designers down
there in Washington, just try COM
ing UP to this Manhattan melee for
a real helping. of excitement =.
You know, after Mayor La Guardia
became vitality interested in the pro-
motion of Gotham as the fashion
center of the world things began to
buzz And they're still buzzing!
The inspiration for many Of the
new designs comes from strange
places, fact discovered after see
ing an exhibit being held at the
Museum of Costume Art in Rookie
Teller Center. They are showing the
work of modern fashion creators
side by side with the old costumes
from which they took their insplra-
ton. Such awe-inspiring names as
Jessie Franklin Turner, Fra Benen-
son, Brigance, Helen Goodman. 10
Copeland, Lilly Dache, Emmett Joyce,
Florence Reichman, Kiviette, Nettie
Rosenstein, Vincent Coppola and
Sally Victor represent the top
notchers in New York-and they're
all in on this simply fascinating dis
play!
AS you can see from the picture I
sent you, Florence Reichman took
one look at Russian marriage cap
in the museums collection and
came out with the smart new model
posed with it. Kiviette has designed
a sleek satin wedding gown from
the idea of an old high-busted cor
set, and Vincent Coppola has turned
out suit of velvet trimmed in Per-
sian lamb which was inspired by q
late 18th century afternoon dress.
They've really done wonderful,
imaginative job, have these Ameri-
can fashion designers. 1t gives you
sort of an insight into the creative
work they're really aiming at, and
it doesn't look as though the goal
is going to be too far off.
Incidentally, this Museum of Cos
tune Art is one of the finest sources
of inspiration for the boys and girls
who are helping America become
the world leader in style. One of
the largest collections of old cos
tunes in the country Is assembled
here in the International Building.
just a step of busy, busting Fifth
avenue. The museum was founded
only three years ago. but the collec-
ton which has come out of old
trunks and dingy attics has proved
to be one Of the best inspirational
sources for designers in New York.
The material for ideas comes from
India, Persia, Burma, Korea, Hun
gary and early Colonial America, to
name but a few, and when these
modern styles are displayed with
the ancient costumes which in
spired them it's easy to notice the
family resemblance. Any one could
see that a cossack coat was the
parent of a new version with smart
cartridge pleated pockets, and the
other comparisons are usually as
apparent.
The display, in case you'll be up
this way, is to continue through

Important to
BeCharning

BY DOROTHY DIX.

The old saw concerning the folly
of locking the stable door after the
horse is stolen applies nowhere else
in life so forcibly as it does in mar
riage The world is full of hus-
bands and wives who apparently
consider that having the wedding
ceremony said over them absolves
them from the necessity Of treat
ing each other with even common
civility. They make no effort to be
agreeable companions. On the
contrary, they say to each other
brutal things that they would not
say to their worst enemies. They
vent on each other all of the temper
and nerves they dare not show the
outside world. They do not feel it
worth while to dress up and look
attractive to each other or use any
Of the arts and wiles to keep the
love that they once were so eager
to win. Then some day there comes
a bitter awakening. Maybe it Is
the shock the husband gets when
his wife goes to Reno for a divorce.
Maybe it is the heartbreak the wife
feels when she discovers that her
husband is philandering with some
other woman. Maybe it is just the
desolation that both experience
when they realize the marriage they
entered into with such high hopes
of happiness has turned into dust
and ashes, and that the passion they
once felt for each other has dwin-
died into nothingness.
Then they beat upon their breasts
and cry out: How did this happen?
What went wrong with our mar
riage? Mary worshiped me once
Why doesn't she care fer me any
more? John adored me when we
were married. Why has he left me
for another woman?" And then
they frantically demand to know
how they can win back the love
they have lost.
A woman to whom this tragedy
has come writes me: For Is years
I have been married and 1t never
occurred to me that my husband
wasn't happy and contented, but
lately I have found out that he has
come to care for another woman.
I am frantic over the situation, but
I realize that it has largely been
my fault. I see now that since the
children came I have put them
first, absorbed myself in them and
paid little attention to him. I have
just taken him for granted as the
one who supplied comforts and lux
uries for me and my children.
IT never considered his tastes or
even his comfort. I have given
little care to my own personal ap-
pearance, as I wanted to spend all
the money we had on dressing up
the children. When he would ask
me to 60 out with him in the eve
nings I would always make ex-
cuses to stay at home-Johnny had
a cold or I didn't trust the nurse
with the baby-until he quit in
viting me to go with him.
Il thought I was doing right, that
I was doing my duty and being a
good mother, but now know that
I have lost my husband by not
being a good wife. And I am won
dering if there is any way in which
I can get him back"
1t Is the old story of locking the
stable door after the horse is stolen.
Sometimes the rightful owner does
get back the nag, but not often,
and the point of the story is that
there would be very few horses
stolen If their owners took even
ordinary precautions 10 protect
their property.

When you barge into a store, to
ask for one, "mismatched bands"
are the title to hang onto those
hats with color contrast in hat
body and band This is new idea
that started in the spring and looks
bigger and better for fall. AS
a matter of fact, hat stylists are
covering all bets as TO the success
of the idea. -.
For instance, the most popular
combination in this 'mismatched"
business is the use of a green or
blue band on a tan or brown hat.
There are other combinations. Of
course, depending upon the color
you finally select.
It's a nice way to tie an ensemble

is something new. Roll out bread
dough as for cinnamon rolls, then
spread peanut butter, thinned to
paste with cream generously over
the dough. Roll up quickly, cut of

about two hours. Bake Is minutes
