Little girls, have found, are at

est by the more severe child psychol-

bottles of 10-cent perfume and strew
them over my bureau when the little

keep on the top shelf Of my closet.
The child then empties the cheap
bottles and smells so anti-social for
day or two that she gets thor

Financial independence of Women
A Cause of Increase in Divorce

A group Of women were discuss
ing the increase in divorce the other
day and one Of them wound up the
conclave by saying: We'll, 1t is lot
harder to stay married now than 1t
used to be in our grandmothers'
time"
That's true" responded another
woman, land I wonder why. HUI
man nature is still the same old
human nature. Husbands and wives
are no more cantankerous and
harder to live with now than they
have always been, yet marriage
that has lasted 10 or IS years is
getting to be a museum specimen.
Men and women now trade in their
old husbands and wives for new
models with fresh paint and tricky
gadgets and streamlined effects just
as they do their last years auto
mobiles.
1T is easy to understand" said
third woman. Women are the
plaintiffs in three-fourths of the
divorce cases and they swap hus-
bands for the same reason that they
wear knee-length skirts, or shorts,
or crazy hats-because everybody
is doing 1t. They think it looks
positively fashioned and lacking
in enterprise to stay married to the
same old man for Is years. So when
they get tired of looking at John and
dish-washing gets on their nerves,
or they get an attack Of spring
fever, they trump up some story
about their meek little henpecked
husbands inflicting cruel and in
human treatment upon them and
the next thing you know they are
off for Reno.
Now in the old days, when peo-
pie married for keeps instead of
with one eye on the altar and the
other on the divorce court, when
a woman said I do she settled down
to make the best of what she had
got. She knew she wasn't going to
have any more digs in the grab bag
and so didn't let her eyes and her
fancy 60 roaming around after other
men. And, believe me, there is lot
of restraining power in just knowing
a thing is final.
And still another reason why
women are the best clients in the
divorce shop is because most Of
them nowadays are on their own.
They have some trade or profession
by which they have supported them
selves before marriage. This makes
it possible for them to put on their
hats and walk out on husband who
doesn't come up to all of their girl
ish dreams of the Fairy Prince they
expected to get in marriage.
Nothing has boosted the divorce
business so much as the financial

independence Of women. For ma
turally the woman who doesn't know
how to earn dollar herself has to
stick to her meal ticket whether she
likes it or not, whereas the woman
who can make her own bread and
butter and cake can be choosy about
husbands and matrimony in general.
And then, of course, the mere fact
that men and women are thrown
so much more together in work and
play now than they used to be makes
1t harder for them to stay satisfied
with their choice of life partners.
In grandma's day a married woman
was virtually segregated from men.
She stayed at home and had babies
and kept house and had no oppor-
tunity of instituting invidious
comparisons between grandpa and
her handsome boss. Nor did grand
pa discover how much better his
pretty blond secretary understood
him than grandma did. All Of that
made for family solidarity and kept
husbands and wives out Of the di-
vorce courts"

GiveChildren
Best Advice
You Know
Guide Them as Far
AS You Are Able
Through Trouble
BY ANGELO PATRI,

The cost of being a parent is
high. especially in terms OF emo
ton. Children wind themselves
about their parents heartstrings
until they do not make a motion
toward life without tugging at those
tender hearts. 1t is easy enough to
say, "Whv bother with them?
They're old enough now to attend to
themselves" There is no way of
ending that relationship while life
lasts, nor would any father and
mother want to end it. But it is
possible to save some Of the agony
by practicing a little philosophic
calm.
Don is q fine boy who has never
given his parents a moments grief
because OF any wrongdoing. He
took over his share of the burden of
life from the start so that it never
weighed on any Of the three. He
earned money and used it wisely.
Now he is In college doing well.
Recently Don decided he wanted a
car Of his own. He could pay for it,
but after that he would not have a
penny In the bank. He would not
be able to pay for its upkeep. His
father and mother pointed this out
to him, told him it was unwise just
now, and withheld their consent.
Don accepted the decision in good
part, but his father and mother
knew that he was lying awake In
the night grieving, just as they
were. They suffered because the
boy was suffering a disappoint-
ment and he found it hard to take.
They began to wonder whether it
would not have been all right to
have said yes, and made good any
deficit. Maybe they had been too
careful. too strict. Then the third
night the boy went to sleep happily
and next morning announced that
he was mighty glad he hadn't
bought that car because he wanted
to buy some expensive chemical ap-
paratus now that he had made up
his mind to go in for the full chem
istry course.
It might help parents bear some
of these griefs if they could be bit
philosophical about them. Young
people are likely to change their
minds overnight and have no use
for the object Of their previous de-
votion thereafter. Life Is full of
disappointments. If one does not
learn to take them as they come
they will come only the faster and
thicker.
Then, too, one can form a habit
Of grieving. If every downward
bend in a child's day depresses his
mother and father, they begin to
dwell in a state of apprehension and
grief, and that is very bad for them
and for the children. It is best to
say, "Well, never mind it. Let's
20 out and see how the sky looks.
We need rain" A look at the
sky is always a grief chaser. Chase
it quickly. Emergencies and real
grief may come and you would like
to have a reserve of courage to face
them.
Give children the best advice you
know. Guide them as far as you
can. When your good sense tells
you to say no, say it and be done
with. Try to forget it and try to
know that the child most certainly
will forget it and turn to something
else speedily. Even then you will
be emotionally distressed three
times q day.

Old chests, made in Brittany, are
getting scarce these days, but there

Something novel in the way of a
clothes hamper would be especially
attractive in the all-white bathroom
to add color. New hampers are deco
rated with magazine covers and

magazine covers are used, while
others utilize sport magazine bind
ings. -.
Children will enjoy taking their
daily bath if you will give them
a box of soap, each piece a char
acter from the Wizard of or. -.
For a perfect shave or an artful

solutely necessary. Column lights
in either single or double type may
be attached to either side of dress

will give a perfect light. You will
wonder how in the world you ever
got along without them. -.
For the 20 minutes of relaxation in
a nice warm bath that all beauty
editors recommend, to make you
bright-eyed, and put you at your
best before going out on party, you
should certainly invest in a rubber
sponge pillow that has two sue
ton cups to hold it to the porce-
lain tub. ..
A set of cordial glasses of smoked
crystal on cherry red pedestals gives
a festive touch to the dinner
party.
Give the real coffee lover one Of

MRS. E. S.
Answer:
Wash them with a clean. soft
cloth and warm. mild soap suds.
Do not let too much water rest on
them or immerse them in the bowl,
but just wipe them over thoroughly
and dry with another clean, soft
cloth. This may be all you wish to
do to them, but if you please you
may cover them again with color
less lacquer which will freshen the
surface and make them look like
new.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have four old Windsor chairs
that have cleaned of all paint
and wish to reflnish. I have also
two Windsor armchairs that are
new reproductions. These are Of
maple finish, and though of good
lines are not all maple, am sure.
The old ones also seem to be Of
different woods. I had planned to
ref1nish these in the natural wood
but am afraid they will not take
an even color Of maple stain. Should
I paint them all, should I paint the
old ones and leave the new ones as
they are, or should I try to get the
same stain on the vari-colored wood
to match the new chairs?
H. j. K.
Answer-The old Windsors, as you
probably know, were all painted for
the reason that they were delib-
erately made of different woods,
and designed for hard wear. The
seat was made Of heavy fine grain
wood that would not splinter (maple
or oak, the rungs and spindles of
wood that worked well in the turn
ing lathe, and the curved backs of
wood that bent without cracking.
For this reason I would paint them
all, including the new ones, unless
you have had considerable expert
ence in staining wood, or wish to
turn the job over to a good refln-
isher.

u J1SC OH CIle press. 1HlS Is 4lle
World Wide Cook Book" by Pearl
v. Metzelthin, and boasts decora-
tions by the famous Tony Sarg.
The publishers, Julian Messner, Inc,
of New York City, will be remem-
bered for their delightful presen-
tation of Nine. Prunier's Fish Cook
cry Book, which was snapped up at
once by all epicures and seafood
lovers.
This new volume is large one
and contains recipes from u coun-
tries-au boiled down" in terms
and measurements to be easily un-
derstandable and applicable to
American cookery methods. Within
these pages the world traveller will
find the dishes which he has en-
countered in some far corner of
the globe and been hankering after
ever since. If he has been nostalgia
for the fish bundles of Ia, of Poly
nesia, here's his chance to get an
other whack at them; if your tour
ing Aunt Tessie expresses desire
to taste once again that delicious
concoction of chicken and ekra she
encountered once in Egypt, you may
produce it for her without qualm,
and probably entrench yourself for
ever in her will.
The author has presented her
compilation in delightful manner,
with an interesting foreword to each
section devoted to country, that
enables one to understand better
the choice of menus and recipes that
follow. Each menu, obviously a
typical one, is printed in its own
language, with the English transla-
ton directly beneath, and is COM
plete, even to the wine to accom-
pany the various courses. Nine.
Metzelthin also adds to the interest
Of the book by using contrasting
menus in many instances-as in the
section devoted to the Philippine
Islands, where she includes fes-
tive dinner of a Moro chief and
the simple dinner of an Ilokano
farmer.
Throughout Europe, Asia. Africa
everywhere, In fact. Nine. Metzel-
thin has cleaned the information
that goes to make up one of the
most interesting and reliable cook
books of its type ever introduced.
Whether you are a traveller, who
longs to bring into your American
home those dishes admired in your
wanderings-or whether you are a
stay-at-home who likes to "eat out
all over the world" in your own
kitchen, you will enjoy this volume
and its far-flung charm.

having the fireplace opening faced
with red brick. Is there anything
else that could be used that would
not entail the expense of tiles or
similar facing? 10.
Answer-You might use the fire
brick that is used for the back OF
your fireplace for the facing also.
This is an almost perfect match for
the shade you describe for walls
and woodwork. Or, without great
expense, you might use a hard
plaster or cement facing that Is

way that these might be used di-
rectly on the wall in such a way
that they would not look as though
they were just stuck on?
K. L.
Answer-Paste the prints on the
wall with wallpaper paste. If you
wish to preserve the surface, cover
each one with a sheet of cellophane,
pasting it neatly around the edge.
Then purchase one of the neat I3le
wallpaper borders. being sure YOU
get the required number of corners,
and frame the prints all around and
between each one with the border.
I think you will be thoroughly de-
lighted with the effect.

foods in American restaurants and
his latest work should 60 far toward
educating the average restaurant
owner and his patrons in what to
eat and when. Many American res
taurants are at fault in the kind of
food they serve-and this fault Is
not only theirs. The luncher and

established, the restaurants must
perforce, follow suit. M. de Gouy
