quently. A bright sequin bow for

good one. Evening jackets are
an ideal choice in every price
range, and it's just like giving
"her" a new dress. These jackets
can be worn over evening gowns,
with separate evening skirts, and
some are informal enough to go to
cocktail parties or teas over a
street-length frock.
Also for the young girl, particu-
larry the college coed are some new
bedroom slippers. These are avail
able in many forms and among the
newest are slipper socks which come
up above the ankle Made of en-
broidered wool with felt soles, they're
the snuggest, smartest types we've
seen in many a day. The idea of

ago! Dormitories get awfully coldl
Also good for travelling is new type

combination which has a plush-ike

fold up and can easily be slipped into
a suitcase. What's more, they're
marvellous for padding around on
cold evenings, and fine to slip into
after a bath. They absorb the
dampness instead of sticking to the
feet.

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Scolding Mother Cannot Expect
To Be Loved by Her Family

Dear Miss DIX have a friend
who is woman of many good quail
tiles and who slaves to make her
immediate family comfortable, but
she makes their lives miserable by
the cutting and sarcastic things
that she continually says to them.
I try to convince those about her
that they should overlook her bit
ter tongue because she does so
much for them, but they can only
think of how unbearable she is to
live with. 1t certainly makes one
wonder If a slovenly, good-natured
woman isn't preferable to a clean
scold. A FRIEND.
Answer-No doubt about that. If
a woman had every virtue in the
world it wouldn't offset her being
a virago. Look about you and you
will see that the bestowed wives
and the most-adored mothers are
not always the most thrifty, or the
most industrious, or the most eco
nomical ones. They are the ones
who are sweet and amiable and
tender and kind and easy to get
along with.
Maybe Mrs. j. isn't good mana
ger and lets the bills get too big,
but she never fails to show her hus-
band appreciation of all he does
for her, and she tells him how
much she admires him and how
wonderful she thinks he is, and she
laughs off his faults instead of
nagging hirn about them. And Mr..
j. thinks that he has the grandest
wife in the world.
Maybe little Johnny sometimes
has holes in his stockings and his
shirt is held together by a safety
pin, but Mother always has time
to play with him and listen to his
stories about the big boy at school
and to comfort him when he gets
into trouble. And Johnny will go
to his grave remembering how
sweet Mother always was.

Proper Dress
Required by
Children
Sensible Clothing,
Not Overpadding,
Right for Cold
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Many people believe that because
children are small they are weak
and in need of extra protection.
To a reasonable degree this is so.
No child is able to stand all that
an adult can take without injury,
but on the whole, children, in their
own sphere, are tough enough to
take the ordinary strains of life
without harm and with great en-
joyment most of the time.
Cold weather frightens some peo-
pie, especially those past their first
strength, and they want to shut the
children in the house to keep them
warm. Children need to be warm
enough to be comfortable, but as
cold weather in winter is about the
only kind most of our children are
going to meet they might better
get used to it and like it. They
will if we let them. And their
health will be the better for an
outing every day, save the extremely
stormy ones.
They ought to be warmly dressed.
That does not mean that all the
sweaters and muff1ers and leggins
in the house should be piled on
them until they look and feel like
doughnut men.
We have had children come to
school wearing layer upon layer of
heavy clothing SO that they could
not move their arms and legs fast
enough to keep warm. One child
fell on the stairs and rolled down
the short flight like a bundle of
overcoats. He was so padded he
could not get up without help. OF
course, he was not hurt, being up
holstered SO well, but he need not
have rolled down the stairs had
he been properly dressed for the
cold day.
A loosely woven union suit, stock
ings that cover the knees, an easy
fitting wooden suit, one sweater, one
outer coat, warm mittens, warm
cap that can be pulled over the
ears on bad days, high rubbers over
stout shoes, a paper handkerchief
or two in each pocket, and he is
ready for the road come rain or
fair weather.
When there is snow, or puddles,
or mud, he needs his rubbers. There
is no use in expecting him to keep
out of the drifts and the puddles.
He, and she, will get into each one
they pass if it is a possibility. The
wetnesS will not harm them if their
stockings and shoes are taken of
as soon as they get into the house,
their feet and legs bathed in warm
water and restockinged and reshod.
Sitting or standing about in cold,
wet feet will more than likely bring
on trouble. The cold and the wet,
in themselves, do not harm if the
child is properly dressed and
promptly cared for afterward.
Fresh air is the best preventive.
and a most helpful remedy against
colds. The child who is kept in
doors is more likely to catch cold
than the sturdy one who is warmly
dressed and sent out to take the
weather as it comes. This applies
to the sturdy, healthy children of
the usual sort-not the ailing, sickly
child who must follow the physi-
clans orders. He, too, will benefit
by taking the cold weather as much
in his stride as his condition per-
mits. Let the children make friends
with the weather and they will do
better In every way.

Typewriting
Invitation
Wrong
Reduce Writing
To Suit Card
To Be Used
BY EMILY POST.

Typewriting a social invitation Is
really bad form. But apart from
this one reservation, invitations to
shower may be as novel as the
hostess chooses. To the hostess,
therefore. whose letter says, Type
writing would fit into the space on
the small card that I have designed
for inviting friends TO a shower,
whereas handwriting would make
the card overcrowded," let me add
that reducing handwriting to very
small size is often a question OF the
nib used. That is, If you or some
one else who can more easily con-
dense her writing than you can,
uses drawing pen with a hairline
fine point, I think you will find 1T
easy to print your message by hand
in half the space taken by the
smallest type. CAS- a test I have
Just written in smaller size than the
type of this columnD Writing that
is most like printing (engraving)
is very best form.
Dear Mrs. Post: The groom wants
to pay for the wedding breakfast,
which my family can't afford to give
in the style he would like. In fact,
even the simplest preparations are
going to be strain, and We GER
tainly can't include all the people
the groom would like us to invite.
Since he can well afford the expense
and wants very much TO pay,
couldn't it in this case be permis-
sible? My mother thinks not, but
she will abide by your opinion.
Answer: Any obvious effort out Of
keeping with your family's means
would be in very bad taste. But if
his help simply means sending more
provisions and not making the
breakfast any more elaborate than
your family might be supposed TO.
be able to afford, then I can't
see whose concern this is but your
own. To let him supply an elabo-
rate collation. served by a caterer,
including champagne. will certainly
be criticized. If this is what he
wants, then really it will be best to
wait until after you are married,
and give whatever sort of party your
husband chooses, in your own house.
or at least at his and your own in
vitation.
Dear Mrs. Post: If cake and coffee
are served around the dining table,
isn't it necessary to provide plates
for each one? I though so but now
I am told that because the cakes are
individual iced ones they would not
require plates.
Answer: If you are to be seated at
table, Of course you have to have
plates. Even if the cakes were be-
ing passed with the coffee in the
living room, tea plates would be
usual-though not indispensable,
since there is no reason why you
should have to follow afternoon tea
convention when serving coffee.
Sitting around the dining table to
eat refreshments is not tabu-but
simply more "folksy" than conven-
tional. AS a matter of fact, in
European circles, it is both.

Percolator Tops

Hard water sometimes causes
stains to form on the glass tops
of percolators. To remove boil the
tops gently on a cloth placed in a
pan of soda water. Put a table
spoon of soda into quart of water.
Boil the tops 10 minutes and the
stains will usually come off when
rubbed lightly with a soft cleansing
powder.

bring the turkey.
A girl who makes any pretense of
having irreproachable manners sim
ply doesn't ask for gifts or favors in
volving an expenditure of money.
She doesn't extend invitations with
financial strings attached to them.
She'll go hungry rather than sug-
gest to a boy that they go somewhere
to eat after a movie, if he doesn't
bring up the subject. She accepts
his courtesies and his kindnesses
with sincere appreciation, but she
doesn't chisel. She takes the posi-
ton that she'd rather go without
than have to ask.
OF course, there are some eXcep-
tons to. the rule we have outlined.
For instance, a girls club or other
organization might give a social, a
benefit party, or dance to raise
funds for a new chair for the club
room. Then the girls would be per-
fectly free to ask boys to come and
pay. But in this case they aren't
extending personal invitations so
much as they are selling tickets.
And the boys can't misunderstood
the situation.
Again, the girls in a crowd might
get up a hay ride, beach picnic, or
other outing, and expect the boys
to hire the means of transportation,
while they did their part by provid-
ing the refreshments. But when
your organization gives dance for
which the girls make all the plans,
control the expenditures, and in
vite boys to come as your guests, ex-
pecting the boys to pay simply isn't
giving them a fair deal.
It's particularly bad if you are
giving the dance or party in your
own clubroom or sorority house.
| That is your organizations home.
It's surely a weird brand of hos
pitality which leads you to invite
guests to your home, and then make
them pay for the privilege of COM
ing there.
This whole problem, of course, is
one of the results of the change in
social standards during recent years.
On one hand we have the new
freedom of girls and young women
in working, in earning money, and
in living less protected and more
self-reliant lives. On the other
hand, We have a carry-over of the
old Victorian man always pays
standard. and the deep-rooted ira
dition of masculine leadership and
feminine compliance.
AS result of their freedom"
girls are taking a new and revolu-
tionary initiative in promoting
social contacts with boys. The
change brings some advantages.
but certainly if girls expect to enjoy
the privilege of asking for dates,
formerly reserved for the boys, they
also must accept the responsibilities.
And that definitely includes the
financial responsibilities
Frankly, we think that girls can
easily overdo this party promoting
business. Perhaps some day they'll
be on an entirely equal footing with
boys in these respects, but certainly
they aren't yet. And there still
remains in the male very powerful,
if subconscious, prejudice toward
too much feminine lead-taking.
We think we'd remember that
prejudice, and go easy on the boy
asking. But when we did extend an
invitation, we'd carry through logi-
cally, and pay the freight. To us,
that seems not only the way of good
manners. but also the way of fair
ness and self-respect.

As approved by the house COM

He said this survey would be

the view of overhauling the tax

CHICAGO, June g. R The
Chicago Cubs pounded seven Bos-

a double victory, 7 to 1, and IS to
8, before 1874 spectators, run
ming their winning streak to seven
games.
Larry French tossed a six-hitter
in the first game for his seventh
victory of the season, coasting to
the decision after the Cubs hoped
on Bill Posedel for five runs on as
many hits in the third inning. Po-
sedel was banished from the bench
in the fourth by Umpire George
Magerkurth for shouting criticism
at the arbiter.
The Cubs took advantage of
George Barnicle's wildness in the
nightcap to score six runs in the
second inning, but the Bees raj
lied to take an 8-6 lead in the
fourth when 41-year old Charley
Root was sent to the showers.
The Chicagoans then punched
four hits with two errors, a walk
and a hit batsman for seven runs
in the seventh. They added two
more in the eighth to make it a
runaway. 2
