and we all love the sounds of our

Maybe it is because she never
entertains herself, and society is a
swap game in which you must give
chop for a chop if you expect to
be welcome in it. But none of these
reasons for being left by ones lone
some applies to you.
And so suspect that your trouble
is that you are reserved in your
manners and hard to get acquainted
with, and not many people are will
ing to take the trouble to pry open
your shell and find what an intelli-
gent, interesting, lovable woman you
are when one gets to know you.
So my suggestion to you is that
you join some group of women with
whom you can work, the oftener the
better and being thrown together
that way they will learn to know
and appreciate you, and having q
mutual interest it will draw you to-
gether as nothing else can.
Or perhaps it is merely that you
have gotten into the wrong group.
1t seems to me that the people who
accept your hospitality and never
repay it by asking you to their
houses are singularly lacking in good
breeding. You certainly could find
some one in your community with
better manners.

drapes in a big way. Turbans ap-
peared and were welcomed frenziedly
by population fed to the teeth with
hats that perched precariously on
top of the head.
The college trade went in for boy
ish-type clothes and romped around
in knee-length socks and above the
knee skirts. More important, many
of them went back to hats, thereby
helping to abolish the hatless craze
and causing several thousand mil
liners to enjoy their first good nights
sleep in several seasons.
Wedges hit their peak during the
summer and Mr.. Jay Carmody, ye
olde drama editor, took that op-
portunity to write . guest fashion
column on the horrors of this foot
wear. Subsequently, wedges dis
appeared, but whether or not the
masculine reaction had anything to
do with it probably will never be
known.
And as for the fashion future of
194l, only time and the brainstorms
of designers and fashion writer's can
tell. However, we1l put money on
the continuance OF the slender sill
houette, the short skirt and the use
of nylon. The authorities have some
ideas, too. For instance, Wilson
Folmar, leading designer for Jay
Thorpe, predicts a less exaggerated
shoulder line, a normal waistline and
skirts neither too full nor too slim.
He sees the end of the long torso
and the growth of brilliant color
and elegance. Fira Benenson Of
Bonwit Teller clings to the straight
silhouette which shows on the figure.
Says Miss Benenson, whats the fun
of having q good figure If you don't
show it?"-or words to that effect.
She'll stick to normal waistlines, .
subtle easing of fabric across the
bosom and faint flared skirt. Also
important in her designs will be
short sleeves or the push-up '1aun-
dress type" -.
All the designers will stress com-
Portable clothes with accent on ina

show. But it looks like q good, femi-

So you think you know how to
buy a hat, huh? Well, maybe you
do, and then, on the other hand,
your selection might be just about
as appropriate as pair Of ski boots
on the sands of Miami Beach.
The important point is to watch
the proportions of crown and brim
and to suit the new fashion trends
to your individual type of masculine
beauty CD For instance, if
the experts tell you that winter hats
have higher crowns, wider brims,
you can believe 'em, but maybe the
idea is out for you. In other words,
a man who's s. feet doesn't look
we'll in the same type of hat as

Religion in
The Home
Creates a Healthy
Atmosphere and
Fine Character
By ANGELO PATRI.


Religion is essential to the healthy
life. The household that has a re-
ligious atmosphere is likely to be
healthy, harmonious and full of the
joy of living.
Religion, in the sense in which
the word is used here, means a
belief in a God whose fatherhood is
understanding, whose love is all
pervading, whose wisdom is infal-
lible, whose other name is Good. A
belief in that kind of God means a
feeling of security and serenity in
the midst of this troubled life of
ours. With that belief goes a feel
ing of worship, of reverence and
awe to be expressed in some form
of service.
Good health rests on the inter-
play of sound body and sound
spirit. There can be no religion
and there can be no health if this
close association of body and spirit
is not recognized and fostered. The
spirit is a thoughtful element, the
body an active one, and each waits
upon the other. A sad thought
depresses and slows down the body;
an evil one poisons it; good
thought stimulates and nourishes
body and spirit.
We have neglected religion in our
schools and the homes have, to an
unfortunate degree, followed the ex-
ample set them by the educators.
God and His works are net men,
toned to the children in the usual
public schools of the land and we
have reared a generation who know
not God and in their ignorance
fall into error and become prey to
evildoers.
Religion is a bulwark to character.
It stanchly sets up standard and
says, This is right. That is wrong"
Children need that kind of standard.
They think in terms of black and
white and their early instruction
should take that into consideration.
Their religion develops as they grow
in power of understanding. The
creed they fit it into makes no
difference to its function in their
lives. The thing to do is to set
that standard of rightness, that
acknowledgment of God in their
minds early. That done we can
have some ground for our hope
in their future development in
righteousness.
Parents need religion in every
day living as we'll as do their chill
dren. First they need it for their
health's sake. Faith in the good
ness and rightness of God enables
one to lay the cares of the day
aside and 60 to bed IN peace, re-
laxed and free from anxieties.
Prayer, which is communication
of the spirit with God, removes
care from the mind and enables
one to go on with the work of the
moment. Prayer without faith is
impossible, but it is not essential
to have the full faith needed before
starting to pray. If one is fortunate
enough to have cultivated full
faith so much the better, but the
beginner needs only to 60 into the
quiet and begin his prayer. Faith
grows with the prayer habit.
Today as never before, men need
religion. They need faith in the
ultimate rightness OF life on earth
They need the peace that faith
brings. They need the strength
that belief in the eternal yerities
secures. They need religion. Nothing
is easier than acquiring this spiritual
satisfaction. 1t needs only the in
slant Of quiet, the desire to talk
with God.

Outstanding Fashion Trends 1910 New Modes Inspected
BY DOROTHY MURRAY.

With the money you received for
Christmas, how about dressing UP"
your home? There probably are a
few articles that you have been
wanting for long time and now is
the chance to secure them. For
instance, new lounge chair for the
living room, such as handsome
one that has feather pillow back
and matching ottoman with pillow
top. This is a mans idea of COM
fort and a woman's idea of beauty.
Or maybe an occasional chair that
will get more than just occasional
use. One has a channel-style back
and comes in wine, gold or blse1
rayon tapestry 80.
In the desk line there are several
smart designs, one secretary that
has a roomy book section with glass
doors. an automatic lid rest to sup
port the writing section and drawer
space in the lower part. A second
type is the Governor Winthrop
desk, which is patterned a great
deal like the former, but, of course,
does not stand as tall. Another
lovely one is the popular kidney
shaped desk. This has a charm all
it's own. due to the fact that it may
be placed in the bedroom as well
as the living room. All of these
are finished in either mahogany or
walnut veneer ..
Maybe you have been wanting a
new comforter. A delight to any
homemaker are the ones made of
rayon satin or taffeta, filled with
fine quality down. These come in
beautiful pastels or very warm, dark
colors to match any chosen deco
rative scheme
For the chaise Tongue there is
charming set consisting of a match
ing throw and pillow. These come
in all colors and are made in tufted
design of rayon satin material.
They give luxurious effect to any
bedroom ;.
Appropriate lamps for the chill
dren's room are made of weod
painted white and decorated with
| gay soldiers. The matching shades
are of parchment and have the
same decoration. Others are pat
termed after the babys shoes and
are daintily colored. The shades of
these contain lovely pictures OF
sleeping children and are very
appealing
Have you seen the knife on the
market that will cut a cake Just
as easily as a razor. yet does not
seem sharp when running a finger
along the blade? 1t is made OF
lucite, is very inexpensive and is
streamlined in design. The fact
that it cannot chip eliminates the
fear Of glass getting into the food,
Small holes which are placed along
the blade prevent the forming OF
a vacuum, which, usually causes,
cake to stick on an ordinary fat
blade. These knives are very sani-.
tary; just rinse them off with either
hot or cold water -.

Newcomers
The Town
Possible to Return
Neighbor's Call
Second Time
BY EMILY POST.

A letter such as the following Is
distressing to answer because there
Is no way that I know of to warm
the cold water that my reply is
likely to throw on the hopes of my
reader. On perfectly chosen paper,
in very pleasing handwriting, a
reader tells me: I'm a stranger in
town. Lately some of my neighbors
have called or me and unfortunately
for me I was not in at the time they
called. They left cards. Now I've
gone back to see them and unfortu-
nately again for me, they were rot
in. left cards. But all this card
leaving is not making me any the
less lonesome. Do you suppose, after
waiting reasonable time-and what
is reasonable?-I might 60 back to
see them again? Or am I supposed
to wait for them to make the next
move?"
The situation is probably that of
very busy or perhaps merely un-
thinking people who do not realize
the marooned situation of a new
conner. And yet it is they who must
make the first really hospitable move
and in this case let us hope they
will. But if nothing happens after
several weeks, I think you could 60
back to their houses, and this time
II you find them out, I would suggest
writing on your card, so disap-
pointed not to be home when you
came to see me-" Or, if you know
them by sight and happen to see
them on the street some day, you
can say who you are and thank
them for having come to see you.
And Ihen not go back to see them
until they invite you or again come
to see you.
Dear Mrs. Post: A man whom I
happened to meet through friends
ended our conversation the other
evening at their house by expressing
a wish to see me sometime. I
answered that I would be glad to
see him. 1t was left at that. I am
wondering whether it is up to me to
let him know what evening would
suit me, or whether what he said
was just preliminary to finding out
whether I would turn him down if
he called me sometime and asked to
see me.
Answer-Such gesture on your
part would be much too eager, unless
you are giving party or unless you
perhaps ask him to make a fourth
at bridge. But to telephone him,
I'm going to be home alone on
Wednesday evening, won't you come
to see me?" is what a nice, or clever
girl does not do!
