to belong to Ruth Mlllett clubs and organizations that bore him to death so that he can make contacts" His pocketbook suffers. His work suffers. His family life suffers. And who does he meet in these organizations he can't af- ford not to belong to? Just a lot of men who also believe in contacts" and regard him as one.
 FIGHTING THE SOCIAL
 FIGHT ALL THE TIME
 Mrs. A. thinks man can't get ahead "in hese times" unless his wife is in there fighting the social fight every minute. So she spends precious hours of her days playing bridge with the wives of men her husband considers im- portant. Does she fool the women? Nope, she doesn't. Because they're all playing the same game.
 MT. and Mrs. A. feel they must live in "the neighborhood," so that they will meet the right people and SO that their children will play with the right children.
 It's quite a strain on the pocket book and the family can't live as well as they could if they weren't trying to keep up appearances" |" But they are sure its worth the struggle. And who do they asso- ciate with in this fine neighbor- hood? Mostly families who have moved there to associate with the right people themselves. The circle is vicious because the As (and there are millions of them) work so hard and actually get SO little for all their worrying, conniving and scneming.
 Life would be so much simpler and they would probably have just as much money in the bank as they have right now (which isn't much) if they would break the vi- cious circle.
 They should live where they can afford to live. Let their children associate with all kinds of children. Choose their friends and their recreation without any thought as to how it will affect their busi- ness. And relax.
 It's tough to earn a living today, but not as tough as a great many young folks over the country are making it.

Lovely swag draperies cleverly combining two colors-how they dramatize 8 pair of plain win dows!
 You could make such graceful draperies easily, transform your living room. The swag valance is the very simplest type. You just take straight, unlined length of fabric, cut the ends on a slant and drape through 3 glass or metal rings. .--
 As for the draperies and glass curtains, sewing them is easy with professional pointers-so is the highly important measuring.
 First measure. from the top win dow casing to the floor and add twice the depth of the heading and bottom hem to allow for double turning. +,s
 For the width, measure how much space one curtain will cover and add 50 per cent for fullness, more for thin fabrics.
 And you won't need expensive materials. A burgundy velveteen swag, side draperies of rose rayon brocade and glass curtains of beige ninon combine beautifully. Or you might use taffeta in plum and hyacinth blue.
