Can Be Happy if Wife So Desires

full as for his wife being good to his
mother. And don't forget that you
can have no better ally than your
mother-in-law in any argument
with your husband.
Don't get humpy everytime your
mother-in-law makes any suggestion
to you. You can learn lot from
her She may not have a college
diploma as you have, but she has
acquired wisdom that the schools
don't teach in a half century and
more of living.
Treat your mother -in-law as you
do your own mother. Conflde in her.
Tell her your hopes and plans.
Go to her with your SORROWS and
joys. Urge her to visit you. Make
her feel that the grandchildren are
hers. That is the way you do to
your own mother. Don't push your
husbands mother outside OF your
family circle. 'ss, s.
Be tender. Be gentle and pa
tient with her because it is very pitt
full to be old and lonely and to have
to live in other peoples houses and
to be left desolate after all of your
children have gone away from you.
Be a good wife. Make your hus-
band happy and his mother will love
you for it. Don't work him to death
for your extravagances. Don't poi
son him with bad cooking. Don't
terrorize him by your nagging. His
mother won't think you foolish
when you baby her son and fuss
over him as she used to do. She will
just thank God he was lucky enough

Flowers Look
Well With
Heads Up
No Definite Ruling; (;
Sensible to Wear
Them as Grown
BY EMILY POST.

Women continue to ask me why
I think flowers should be worn with
stems down rather than with stems
up. First of all, let me underscore
the word think" There is no rule
further than my Cor your opinion
as to how particular flowers look
best on particular dress.
One reason why flowers are likely
to look best with stems down is
that they grow that way. With
their heads hanging down and their
stems sticking up in the air, roses
for example look as though they
had fallen down and were crying
for help! Violets look exactly as
any flowers would if put in a glass
bowl with their stems sticking out
at the top.
Orchids and set corsage arrange
ments. I agree, can be turned
around to best fit a particular dress.
But as a general rule of safety, the
way they grow looks best. And
they don't grow with heads in the
ground and stems up!

Dear Mrs. Post: We want to be
married about 8 o'clock in the
evening, then go to the hotel for the
reception, have dancing first, then
s"rve cocktails and canapes and later
on, sit-down supper with cham
pagne. The hotel manager tells me
1t Is incorrect to have a wedding so
late In the evening and that the COL
lation should follow the reception
Immediately. He suggests the we'd
ding at 8, with dinner following.
Will you explain about this?
Answer: A wedding at 9 o'clock in
the evening is just as proper, accord
ing to etiquette, as 8 o'clock and there
is no need for a dinner afterward
In fact 9o'clock allows every one to
have dinner comfortably at home
ana then go to the wedding. The
Idea OF cocktails at a wedding, how
ever, seems to me very inappropri-
ate. If I were you I would ar
range to have my guests dance while
I was still receiving. Then you
also dance for awhile and then
have supper.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it incorrect
to use individual silver butter knives
at afternoon tea? l have new
butter knives and would like to use
them as much as I can between
meals because I do my own work
and we seldom invite people In to
meals.
Answer: At tea time, as a rule
breads and biscuits are buttered in
the kitchen. But the knives are
not only permissible, but necessary.

out which many people think after

them from rotting.
MRS. r. r. j.
Answer: From the standpoint of
a preservative, paint has bit of an
edge on the ordinary stain. 1t is
possible to use preservative mixtures
in the stain, but the sealing ability
Of the paint accomplishes the same
thing. The quantity of paint used
on the old absorbent shingles might
influence your decision also. I
recommend the paint unless you
wish to include some preservative
mixture in the stain.

DEAR MISS NOVEL;;
We have a long, narrow rec
reation room which we are fixing
In our basement, and would like to
make it as "sea-going" as possible.
We have used ship lanterns for
lights and have a galley for the
preparation of food. The walls are
rough cement above wood wains-
coting. We did the walls and ceiling
in white because we need the
light. but what can we do to the
woodwork and cement floors?
JIG.
Ansker-Paint your doors, VAIN
scoting and other woodwork white
also, and when it is dry paint over
it with thin solution of turpentine
with some white paint and cobalt
blue in it. Stir this in a can until it
is about the consistency of milk, then
paint or sponge it on and wipe part
of it of. Wipe the wainscoting hori-
zontally and you will get the effect
Of water. Don't try to be too realistic
and put waves in it, but the watery
blue of this washed-on color gives
just the marine effect you want
Point up the room with touches of
bright red on the counter of the
galley, the window sills and the stair
rail. But use just a few touches.
The floor may be painted a deep
ultramarine blue, or linoleum with
ship motifs inlaid is effective. White
duck slip covers and curtains with
red braid trimming will make it all
gay and ship-shape.

Voice
Attained by
Exercises
Correct Breathing
Aid to Its Quality
And Versatility
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Any reliable voice instructor, or
great singer, will tell you that voice
quality. and versatility is most de-
pendent upon proper breathing
Those of you who have strident
voices. voices which irritate instead
of attract, will do we'll to practice
deep breathing exercises every day.
In fact, most women could improve
their voice tone and delivery by
making such exercises part of their
daily exercise program.
The morning. just after arising,
is the best time to do these exer-
cises-out in the open air if you can,
or before an open window. No deep
breathing exercises should be prac-
ticed directly after any meal three
hours should elapse.
Vina Bovy, lovely coloratura So
prano of the Metropolitan Opera,
recommends these simple. easy to
do breathing exercises. She, her
self, has found them most bene-
f1cial.
Stand erect with both hands at
your sides, head up, eyes looking
forward.
(a) Exhale energetically, saying
"ssss" between your teeth, to clear
your lungs.
CD Place your hands on your
hips. Inhale a complete breath
moderately fast; hold for a few
seconds; exhale slowly saying
"ssssssss." Keep the chest high as
long a possible and do not let it
sink until the last part of the
breath is let out of your lungs.
Co Take several cleansing breaths,
and repeat (a) and Co several
times. This has very definite tonic
effect. It peps you up Immediately.
Stand in good posture with arms
at sides.
(a) Exhale energetically, saying
"ssssssss" between the teeth to clear
your lungs again.
CD 1nhale very deeply and moder-
ately fast lifting the arms straight
above the head; hold for two or
three seconds and then exhale
'ssssssssss' slowly, and bring the
arms to horizontal position in
front of the body.
Co Then drop the arms to the
side, at the end of the breath.
cd Take several cleansing breaths,
and pause before repeating the ex-
ercise again. Repeat several times.
Care should be taken that the back
is kept straight during the above
two exercises. Most persons do not
use, as a rule, more than two-thirds
OF their full lung capacity. These
exercises tend to force the fresh
air down into the lower parts of the
lungs and thus tap an unused source
OF energy for which your body is
grateful.
Additional breathing exercise
may be had upon request if you
write for them care of this paper
and inclose a self addressed,
stamped (S-cent) envelope.
