Which Is Correct?

Many people use the words
period" and style" very loosely
and INTERCHANGEABLE in connection
with furniture. Correctly used tn.
word period" should be used only
to describe span of history. Thus
it is proper to say the Jacobean,
Queen Anne, Early Georgian,
French Empire or Victorian periods.
1t would, however, be correct to
refer to these names as styles.
1t is better usage to refer to
Chippendale, Hepplewhite, Shera-
ton or Duncan Phyfe as STYLES
rather than as periods. II is
good rule to use style" with the
names Of cabinetmakers and de-
signers and period" with the names
of ruling sovereigns. For example:
This mahogany chair is Of Chippen-
dale style; this sofa of the Victorian
period.

Dorothy Dix Says 80
Women Seldom See Point of Joke,
Especially if They Are Victims

could have had little enough sense
to imagine that your wife would
emit a merry ha-ha when she dis
covered that. you had made fool
of her in leading her on to write
you love letters to which you re-
sponded as coming from the woman
Of whom she was jealous.
OF course, she is furious with you
because you have made her figure
of fun. She is probably a good deal
madden than she would have been
if she had discovered that you really
did have tenderness for your ex-
stenographer. because then she
would have had a just cause for
resentment and could have posed
before herself as tragical, while
now she knows herself to be merely
ridiculous.
In her heart your wife probably
knows that you are telling her the
truth about the other woman, but
to save her face she has to pretend
that she does not believe you and
trust you, and the chances are that
you will never hear the last of her
suspicious as long as you live. In
the family circle you will always be
cast in the role of a gay Lothario.
The only way you can get back
your rating with your wife is by
eating large hunks of humble pie
and protesting your devotion to her.
When she feels that her dignity has
been appeased she will relent. So
trust you will have learned your
lesson and know better than ever
not to attempt to get humorous with
your wife again.

dresses and heavier for coats, are
advocated for costume suits. The
usual gabardine and similar ma
terials constitute the two-piece man
tailored styles, with number of
velveteens making a frequent and
welcome appearance in the picture.
It's absolutely unnecessary to ex-
toll the virtues Of the causual suit
to business or schools girls who
know the value of these outfits for
comfort and smart, neat appear
ance all day long. Changes of
blouses or sweaters. different hats
and lapel ornaments can provide
variety of costumes at very small
cost. and the versatility of the en-
sembles makes them AS good for
cocktail date as for a 9 am. en-
trance into the Office.
The costume suit is equally adapt
able. The sheer wool dress can be
worn right now without the jacket
and on cool days the accompanying
short or long coat is just right.
Later. the outfit does nicely under
heavier coats. provided the one
which is designed with it lacks the
desired warmth All in all, it's a
style that is good for all occasions
and in everything but the most tor
rid temperatures.
AS for the final word on the sub
ject. don't overlook untrimmed suits
which are perfect foils for separate
accessories. Your silver fox or ko-
linsky scarves make the most unas-
Stunning little number look like some
thing in the millions. Another idea
that's strictly high fashion is the
use of fur hats and muffs with
plain suits. If you can think of
anything smarter than a plain green
suit with flaring brimmed hat and
squashy muff Of leopard we wish
you'd tell us. (And then buy it
for uS)

OllcIl carry OUT llle SAINT Clever uSe
of fur trim which might be de-
scribed as the essence of good taste
Even the classic three-piece suit
assumes a new guise this season. 1t
jumps out of the ranks of casual
clothes and goes more into the en-
semble category, thanks to vari-
atoms on the old wolf collar trim.
What's more, the top coat of these
three piece models is likely to be
well fitted. instead of hanging loose
" in a strictly sports effect. Un-
trimmed suits of the three-piece
variety are also very popular, and
tweeds especially good
The business girls classic stand
by, the tailored two-piece suit, is
also very much in evidence, although
not particularly changed because of
It's very classicism. The only OBJ
vious difference, as far as We can
discover. is a trend to longer jackets,
well fitted and flattering to the
slender figure This, of course, is
part OF the rage for boys clothes in
femininized form which has dis
tineuished the college collections
and which was bound to show up
sooner or later in the more con-
sentative type of thing. Outside Of
this difference, there are still the
naannish coats with one button or
the cardigan styles which fasten up
to a high neckline. Skirts are rather
slim and may have a front and back
inverted pleat.
Color is one of the most intriguing
phases of the suit picture for fall and
winter. Added to the ever popular
black. brown and gray tones are the
brighter shades which look par
ticularly well with fur trim. Win
terberry" is only one of the many
wine shades; soldier blue is being
much discussed in all branches of
fashion. and promenade green is
lovely member of the vert family.
especially effective with accents of
spotted fur such as leopard or oce-
lot. Bright red is still being shown,
but we approve it mainly for the
woman who has many changes of
costumes; not for the one who must
wear it day after day. Plaids are
good and you may choose them as
gay or subdued as you please.

representative cities in various parts
of the country, and it included the
job histories Of more than
40 900 young people.
Now, let's just see how many of
these job-seekers got their positions
through pull. To quote the survey
directly:
parents and relatives directed
youth to IA per cent Of the jobs
obtained. This is one of the i'm
portant ways in which youth learn
of job openings. 1t includes those
cases of family connection and drag
about which youth without such
advantages complain. and also the
cases in which the father or relative
merely happens to hear of job
opening"
In other words, only about one out
of every seven people got job
through his family And at least
part of these were obtained not
through drag, but merely because
some relative kept his eyes open.
1t might be safe to guess. therefore,
that only about one out of every
ten young people actually gets his
job through pull!
That's something to think about

Dear Miss Dix: I have been a
businessman, but for three years
have been sick, confined to
hospital. Before I came to the hos
pital I had a faithful and very ca
pable stenographer. Some time ago
my wife asked me if l ever heard
from her. told her that did not,
which was the truth. But my wife
did not believe me. So to test me
she wrote me letters signing this
girls name TO them. OF course, I
recognized my wife's writing imme-
diately, so ! answered these letters
in the most endearing terms I pos
sibly could. I put it on thick and
mentioned many things that never
had happened and that I never
thought of before. Now my wife is
consumed with jealousy and very
hurt with me. She is one of the
best wives in the world and I love
her devotedly. What can I do to
convince her that I was only play
ing the same game she was and
assure her that no one on earth
could take her place in my heart?
BOB.
Answer-Any man who would at
tempt to get facetious with his wife
about another woman certainly
should have his head operated on
for the STILES" When the good
Lord made woman there was one
bone he left out of her anatomical
structure and that was the funny
bone. Very few women have any
sense of humor at all, and virtually
none of them can take a joke when
it is on themselves.
