the gloves in their original creases

! Uncle Mike on New Year morning.
At the moment, the stores are
full of good looking shoes, however,
to be worn now on Miami Beach
sidewalks or to be carefully stored
away for the time when money is
scarcer and the temperature higher.
In one store, they are streSsing play

Coast caSualneSs. Most OF the play
shoes come up high in the front and
may have low heel or a modified
wedge. This apparently is the

with us about them a year ago:
We now say they're disappearing.

For strict beach wear. the very

Anyway. to get back to these nice
shoes, they're equipped with wall
last, in modified form, and pyra-
mid heels in the only useful version,
neither too high nor too low. Incl
dentally, our guess is that you will
see more and more moderate heels,
leading to less and less foot discom-
fort. Other pumps we like, also in
white, have reversible bows, red on
one side, white on the other.
Cocktail and afternoon wear should
find you choosing sandals in one
form or another. Colorful draped
linen ones, toeless and backless,
should be good. Also interesting and
most unusual are the plaid linen ties
being featured. But be careful to
wear them only with very plain
dresses if you want to avoid the
appearance of an animated patch
work quilt.
And, by the way, one or two things
being advocated for immediate wear
will bear investigating. First of all,
one of the local stores has "embroid-
cred vinylite" in combination with
brown or black suede. Crystal

really is fragile looking, especially

Here's Jennie Jitterbug, for ex-
ample. She may be the most priced
partner in her set on the dance floor.
But for every fellow who likes to
shag, there are so who like to eat.
And even a rug-cutting Romeo will
be doubly charmed If some night
Jennie Unexpectedly treats him to
dish of homemade candy that is
actually edible.
And remember this: You'll dance
less and less as you grow older, but
you'll keep right on dining till
doomsday.
In exactly the same way, Sammy
Shagger may fascinate few girls
with his ballroom acrobatics. But
If he's one of those dependable fell
lows who knows what to do when
the motor dies or the decorations
won't stay up, he'll inspire secret
admiration in every feminine heart
within beating distance.
And you'll be hanging pictures
and fixing leaky faucets long after
you've abandoned dancing as
major sport.
People are interesting to others
almost in direct proportion to the
variety OF their interests and their
accomplishments. In other words.
the more different things you can
do, the more points of contact you'll
have with other people. And the
more points of contact you have
the more friends you'll get.
But enough for the popularity
angle; the factor of personality
improvement is even more impor-
tant. Working with your hands is
one of the best possible ways Of
insuring your own mental health.
In fact, the use of handicrafts and
simple skills is among the chief
techniques of treating nervous and
mental disorders. For the person
who works with his brain, hobbies
that involve physical action and
manual skill are particularly val
liable in providing a balanced and
well-rounded personality.
So don't sniff at such homely
accomplishments as being able to
alter a dress, knit a sweater or
ice cake. Don't think the fellows
who excel in the shop courses are
duds. Such abilities may not be
considered ultra in your own little
smart set, but they are pretty val
liable possessions in the long run.
And here's still another angle.

Dorothy Dix Says go
After Marriage, Sons Should Not
Shirk Devotion Due Mothers

Dear Miss Dix: We have son
who is the apple of our eye and
who is as devoted to us as We
are to him. When he told us he was
engaged to be married, we were de-
lighted, for we thought we would be
gaining a daughter, not losing a son,
and we welcomed the girl with open
arms. We showered her with gifts
and parties and did everything in
our power to win her affection. But
from the first she repulsed us. She
even wrote us a letter in which she
plainly stated that she was marry
ing our son and not his whole fam
lily nor his friends, and 1t was best
that we should understand from the
start that we should not demand
from her what she did not care to
give. This has nearly broken our
hearts, for We feel that she will sep
arate our son from us. What can
we do about it? MRS. G. w. S.
Answer-Not a thing in the world,
because the girl is evidently one OF the
possessive women who think that
they have a right to monopolize
their husbands, body and soul, and
whose first act is to separate them
from their families. Such women are
more jealous of their husbands
mothers than they are of any other
woman. 1t burns them up to know
that their husbands mothers were
once all in all to them; that they
share old memories and old expert
ences; that there is between them
that strong and mystic bond that
binds mother and child together,
so they set themselves with diabol-
ical cunning and ruthlessness to
snatch them from their hated rivals.
And so weak and spineless is a
man in the hands of mean woman,
If he loves her, onlv too often does
she succeed in alienav ling a son from
the mother who bore him, the father

Bath Grippers

Elderly people often take Daths
less frequently than they would like
to, because of difficulty in keeping
their balance when stepping in and
out of the tub A pair of rubber
grippers may be just what they
need to give a sense of safety.
The bath grippers are like broad
elastic bands, with an extra wide
corrugated insert on one side. They
can be slipped over the hands. the
broad insert facing the palms They
permit the wearer to get firm hold
on the side of the tub and the towel
bar or soap rack
They may also be worn on the
feet, broad surface under the soles,
and are particularly valued by peo-
pie who prefer shower bah.

1t might be we'll here to give the
proper soap-and-water care Of
gloves and stockings, whose good
looks depend in great measure upon
how they're washed.
Most washable gloves need to be
washed after every wearing and it
is pure economy to pay little more
and get a glove which will stand a
good scrubbing.
The safest care for washable
suede gloves is to wash them on
your hands in warm suds. In this
way, you won't stretch the tender
parts of the skins by squeezing water

If you do any work that entails
bit of shirt-sleeve-rolling-up, you
should know about the new wrist
watch bands. These are the flexible
KIND that you can push half way
up your arm instead of being forced
to remove your watch every time
you go dabbling around in water.
Amateur photographers have found
them particularly good news.
Some of the best have thin leather
bands adjoining the watch so that
from the top the appearance is
that of an ordinary leather strap.
However, the underside of these is
made of flexible, stretchy, gold
plated chain which provides the
leeway for sliding them above your
wrist and out of harms way.
We just thought we'd mention it
in reply to the many masculine COM
plants about the annoyance OF
constantly removing a watch or the
inconvenience of always having one
in the repair shop.
