DRY RENAISSANCE?
(NeW York Times)

Our Prohibition friends are hard to discourage. In 1886 their candidate for President got 12,330 votes, yet they nominated anoth- eQ national ticket the other day. Tn this state they are circulating petitions for a full list of PreSi- dential electors and candidates for United States Senators and Representatives at Large. This political residence after calamity is admirable. The basis of reality Is not evident as yet. It is true that in a large number of local option elections in the last two or three years the Prohibitionists have won many victories, but sub stantially all of them were in small places. In December, 1888, the American Institute of Public Opinion asked its selected cross section of the voters this, among other question: If the question of national prohibition should come up again, would you vote for it?"
 Yes, said 36 percent; No, said 64. Last January the replies to the same question were 34 per cent Yes and 66 percent No. For some years after repeal the Anti Saloon League of America, the W,C.TU., the Board of Temper erce, Prohibition and Public Mor als of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, seemed to be quietly content with a program of education. If prohibition is tc be forced into politics again, its prospects are not of the bright est The taxes on liquor yield g great federal revenue, if noI quite so great as was expected States, cities towns, milk thk same fruitful source.

Not Necessary to Be Vaudeville
Entertainer to Amuse Husband

DEAR DOROTHY DIx-In q re-
cent article you spoke of a wife
keeping her husband nailed to his
own flreside and from philandering
with other women by entertaining
and amusing him. In what way
can she do this? If you can answer
that, you know what you are talking
about. If you can't, you don't.
Don't duck this question.
A READER.
Answer-All that q wife needs to
keep her husband entertained and
amused at home Is to use the same
technique after marriage that she
used before, and every woman who
has got her man knows exactly what
that Is. She knows what went over
big with him when he was courting
her and, unless she Is q moron, she
is perfectly aware that 1t will still
get the glad hand from him If she
will only put on her act.
Especially must a woman make
her home cheerful and pleasant
place for her husband to spend his
evenings If she wants him to stay In
it, and she must be good company
If she wants him to talk to her
instead Of some other woman.
I am not implying that every wife
should be q spellbinder and carry q
scintillatine line of conversation.
Quite the contrary. A tired man
doesn't want to have to spend his
evenings arguing politics or religion

Manners
OF the
Moment

A smart girl knows that q bou-
quet Of radish tops given her by the
Man Of the Moment is Just as beau
tiful as the orchid she receives from
her roommate's uncle. And she
makes the Man Of the Moment feel
that it is far preferable to orchids.
But I do know q few girls, who
think they are smart, who make q
poor boy feel like two cents If he so
much as offers bunch Of violets.
It's orchids or nothing with these
girls, and they make the men know
how they feel.
Perhaps they know what they're
doing. And If they do. far be it
from me to stop them. But I Just
want to be. sure. They know, Of
course, that q man who can buy
orchids doesn't, necessarily appear
to advantage in q bathing suit. And
they know, Of course, that . man
who can buy orchids may not be
the man who likes the same kind
Of salad dressing or the same sort
Of music.
Well. all right. As long as they
know that, they're prepared. But
give me the girl who can grow

or philosophy with wife who has
boned up on them for the occasion,
but he does want a wife who can talk
pleasantly and intelligently about
the topics Of the day and who is full
Of CHEEKY little small talk about the
neighbors and what she has done
and what she has seen.
Before marriage q girls best play
is always talking to man about the
things in which he Is interested. She
listens with rapt attention while he
discourses about his business, his
hobbies, his car. She laughs at his
jokes. She begs him to repeat his
funny stories. And one of the main
reasons he leads her to the altar ID
to get good listener.
There is no mystery about anus
ing and entertaining husbands. It is
just saying to a man the things he
would like to have said to him.
Listening to him when he wants to
talk. And being good company. It
is as simple as that.

If you're planning a party on
Valentines day, we strongly advise
you to make this apron and put 1t
on when you serve refreshments!
Truly, it's as f1attering and prim and
slim-waisted as your afternoon
frocks, and yet it covers nearly every
inch Of your dress, so that it is Just as
competent as it is charming. Valen-
tine party or not, it's a pattern that
you'll make up many times, for your
self and for gifts.
. The wide belt buttons securely in
the back. The wide straps simply
cannot slip of the shoulders, and
the big, heart-shaped pocket is ca
pacious and useful as well as ador-
ably ornamental.
The apron is simply nothing to
make-you can finish it in q few
hours. Make it Of chambray, ging-
ham or batiste, and be sure to make
at least one in white, with red trim
ming. Even this simple pattern Is
accompanied by q step-by-step sew
chart.

MISS RUTH SNYDER.

In a store either in a selling or Sec
retarial capacity you have no idea
of the detail and routine that goes
on behind the scenes, and this back
ground is most important to a fashion
career. Comparison shopping, and
that means comparing the merchan-
disc in other stores, is another valu-
able aid in this type of work. It's q
grand way to reduce, too," Miss
Snyder says. II lost 30 pounds in siz
months!" But in spite Of the diff
culties connected with this work II
does provide a great deal of the
necessary information and assist
ance.
All Of which seems to mean that
the next time you see a stylist 60

may realize that it takes more than

chandising. H. v.

dire temperatures, but you can still
ignore him by giving your skin the
proper kind of care. Don't just
look out for your face, either. Re-
member you still have hands, neck,
arms and shoulders which are too
often exposed to the elements. {.
Getting your hair and scalp in
good shape? In a short time you'll
probably be wanting permanent,
so it's a good idea to have some re-
conditioning treatments now; get 1t
into fine shape so that the perma-
nent will take well and look nat
ural. Inquire about these at the
beauty salon or start q routine at
Concentrating on your figure?
You'll soon be in line for q new
spring foundation, so help 1t by
watching your diet and doing exer-
cises. Forecasts of all spring
styles say nothing about a definite
change in silhouette, 50 it looks as
though you'll still need a fairly small
waist and not too much hips. d.
Looking at the resort clothes even
If you're not going South? Here's
why: In the first place, they'll give
you an idea of the influences likely
to be found next summer. In the
second place, you'll be able to pick
up charming little frocks right now
that when warm weather comes will
be nowhere in sight. 49,.
Planning your wardrobe for spring?
It's not too early to start looking at
the new colors, besides black and
navy. :. Watch out for new shade
called "Hot Pink" This is going
to be featured in New York very
soon, and should be excellent with
navy. Already some of the cos
metic firms are getting out makeup
In this color. . Remember that a
wardrobe planned around a basic
shade is real economy and will give
you much more satisfaction than q
number of colors for which you have
to buy all different accessories. .
Buying something brand-new right
this minute, even If it's only a hand
kerchief? There's nothing like q
new article of attire to pep up
tired winter-worn wardrobe.

These are so important, and in all
colors they're very flattering. .
Nice with dinner dresses, for those
evenings when you don't want to
look too formal. ..
Using clips in novel ways? Here
are a few ideas we'd like to pass
along to you: Put jeweled flower
pins in the back of your turbans.
Then match them with a tiny pair
pinned onto your turban over the
ears. Try clipping three small
ornaments on the stem of your Or
child next time you wear one. Clips
used in this way are considered
much newer than any kind of q
bow. A huge bow of velvet rib
bon clipped on to the shoulder of
your simple evening gown will make
1t look brand-new-and try using
a definitely contrasting color of rib
bon. Try arranging a pair of
clips both on one side of a neckline,
shoulder strap or coat lapel instead
of balancing each other. One
prominent woman puts diamond
pins as big and round as a silver
dollar at the cuff points of the long,
black crepe sleeves of her dinner
gowns. You can use the same idea
with rhinestones. And finally,
buy a white feather butterfly or
other fanciful insect from the mil
linery department, and .use a dia-
mond clip for its body. Perch
1t right in front of your hair for
effective evening adornment. -.
Resolving to have jersey dress? In
street or evening styles, rayon jersey
is winner for the South or North
=. It has come to be used at every
season and it does wonderful things
for the figure. -.
Starting to save now for your real
spring outfit? d.. We mean the one
that you will wear about Easter.
Think about buying a fur scarf of
some kind next season and you'll
find that there are numerous uses
for it, Worn over plain, untrimmed
coat or suit, or slung about the
shoulders OF print frock, fur
scarves are useful and attractive. .

(This Is the second of series
OF personality sketches on the
stylists OF our local stores.)
Shoemakers' children may never
have shoes, but you can't apply that
old axiom to department store styl-
lists. For one look at Miss Ruth
Snyder who fills that position for
Lansburgh & Bros, convinces you
that here is lady who practices
what she is apt to preach.
Miss Snyder, a well-groomed and
very pretty brunette, has been en-
gagged in the business of fashion CO.
ordinating for her present firm since
1888, and came to it well prepared
by a background Of style study.
Graduating from course in home
economics at Maryland University,
she obtained her masters degree at
the New York University Of Retail
ing, followed this with practical ex-
perience in some Of the fine New
York shops and then came to WASH
ington to help prevent sartorial slip
ups on the part of many local ladies.
Carrying out the usual duties of q
stylist, which include co-ordinating
merchandise and working out color
combinations to best advantage,
Miss Snyder is also intensely in
terested in her work as a bridal
counselor-and that is just as it
should be. For, it was not so many
months ago that she played the
leading role in a drama that took
her up church aisle and into the
realm of matrimony.
In connection with the running Of
a dress designing contest the at
tractive stylist feels that American
designers are now to play hereto
fore unimagined part in the style
world. American women are en-
tirely different from foreign women,
she says. "They may use the same
trends, but they want them modi-
fed to suit their American needs
and ways. A woman walking down
the street in an original Paris
model here looks out Of place" And
so Miss Snyder is confident Of the
future importance of the designers
In this country, q feeling which is
shared by the leading fashion ex-
perts of the United States.
