Dorothy Dix Says go
Working Girls Are Entitled to
Portion of Their Earnings

Dear Miss Dix: I am q years
of age. I live with my mother ana
give her my pay envelope each week.
Out of this she gives me money Tor
carfare and a dime for church on
SUNDAYS. Otherwise I do not have
even a nickel to spend. My mother
has a monthly income OF her own
and she gives my married sister
anything she wants. Spends con-
siderable sum each month on her
and her children, although my Sis
ter's husband has a good job. What
can I do to make my mother more
liberal with me? I think I should
have at least couple of dollars each
week.
WORRIED WORKING GIRL.
Answer-The remedy is in your
own hands. Take your 81, or what
ever you think you are entitled to,
out of your pay envelope before you
give it to your mother. No doubt
she will raise ructions about 1t, but
hard words break no bones and 50
are 81 and the pleasure they buy
YOU. I have never been able to see
why a mother thought that she had
a right to make her daughters hand
over to her all that they made, when
she wouldn't dream of taking all
of her sons earnings away from him
and doing out to him few nickels,
yet that is the common custom
among mothers. Mother grabs Sallyis
pay envelope, but she lets Sam keep
his own and brags about what a
good son he is if he hands her a
dollar or two now and then for the
household expenses. Worse still,
Mother feels free to spend the con-
tents of Sally's envelope on the
other children who are too tempera-
mental and lazy to work.
Of course, in the case of a family
being poor, every working member
should contribute to the upkeep of
the home, but it should be done by
the children paying board and on an
equitable basis without Mother play
ing any favorites. There are many
good reasons why the board system
is the best way of settling the mat
ter.
For one thing, it is just. The girl
who stands behind a counter, or
pounds a typewriter, or runs loom
all day is at least entitled to the
pleasure and dignity it gives her
to handle her own money.
1t makes her feel like a slave to
have all that she makes by her hard
labor taken away from her, but it
fills her with pride as an independent,
self-supporting individual to be able
to voluntarily pay her board to
Mother.
For another thing, to have her
own pocketbook teacher her how to
spend money so as to get the most
out Of it, and that is something a
woman needs to know her life long.

real or costume"
Millinery Is extremely interesting
in the new collections, primarily be-
cause there is definite feeling for
CAV. pretty hats. Turbans are "ln"
again and so are great quantities OF
flowers for trimming. Wells are
lavish and f1attering, and crocheted
hats continue to do nicely. Most
interesting and, we think, important
are the many little sailors which sit
smack on top of the head and which
may be anchored by veil. These
look extremely Gibson -girlish," and
couldn't be more perfect with the
new spring suits.
Other accessories include tremen-
dously. elongated purses and shoes
with high ankle straps, for both day
and evening. In the jewelry line
ropes and ropes of beads, some
reaching almost to the knees, are
shown on draped dinner gowns, and
elaborate jewelry in the form OF
necklaces, pins, bracelets and ear
rings are shown with almost every
costume.
In silhouette, the primary change
lies in the introduction of the new
sloping shoulder, which is a definite
but not startling variance from last
seasons silhouette. We were i'm
pressed by the fact that some pad
ding is still used on these shoulder
lines. They are not droopy by any
means. However, the football-player

If you're eager to have something
really new in the way of a day
dress to freshen your winter ward
robe and carry you into spring, send
for Pattern No. 1311-B. 1t will be
so pretty in silk print, spun rayon
or fiat crepe, with the yoke and
cuffs in white for contrast. It's an
excellent style for home cottons, too.
The bodice is deftly gathered above
a slim-hipped skirt, and the yoke,
cut to a long point in the front,
accents the slenderizing silhouette.
To those of you who take size "a
to 48, this will be an unusually be-
coming dress, and it's very easy to
make. The pattern includes a de-
tailed sew chart.
If you've never tried your hand
at sewing, this is a good pattern
to begin on. You'll be delighted
with results.

worthy of mention as something

Gold Digger Problem
If Girl Has No Consideration
For Boys Finances-Quit!
Bv KAY CaldsceH and Alden Harrison.

v y
Undoubtedly there are a few
minded misses who judge a
fellow chiefly on the merits of his
income. But the great majority OF
girls like a boy because OF his
physical attractivenesS, his PERSONAL
ity, and his attitude toward them,
and consider finances comparatively
unimportant. i'
Nevertheless, plenty of fellows
worry over their inability to spend
much money on dates. and are
chagrinned at the apparent gold
digging tendencies of certain girls
they know. Here are two typical
letters, which point up this prob
lem:
Il was engaged to girl, but she
married another fellow. For three
years after that I didn't have a
date. Then I saw my mistake and
have made some excellent friends
again. I am working part time
now, and make about s12 a week.
Evening star., 1941-01-11

.
I don't drink, smoke or gamble, and
am just straight dancer.
Where can fellow like me take
a girl and have a fairly enjoyable
evening on SO? I don't care for
taprooms or places of entertain
ment. A READER"
please send me your The Diff
ferent Date leahet. I am young
fellow almost 19, and make only
SIC week, so please suggest some
thing inexpensive. We usually go
on double or triple dates, the fel-
lows being my friends. Sometimes
I can use my fathers car.
What is remedy for gold-dig-
gers? Don't tell me not to date
them, because I never find out they
are gold-diggers until we're out to-
gether. How can suggest less
expensive place to go after the girl
suggests costly one?
"And how can I get over to her
the idea that I'm little short of
cash, and would like to have a par
lor date for once? Does a fellow
always have to take girl out?
Can't two or three couples spend an
evening at a girls home once in a
while?
please ease my baf1ed mind.
SID S."
We won't take space here to
suggest unusual and inexpensive
dates, because that subject Is covered
in our leaf1et "The Different Date" ."
But we will say that it's easily
possible to show girl a most
enjoyable evening on $500, If you
use little thought and ingenuity.
AS for the gold-digging misses,
there isn't any foolproof remedy
except to avoid repeating the mis-
take of dating them. The best
way to avoid being stuck for more
than you can afford is to plan your
evening in advance, estimate the
cost, and then outline the program
to the girl when you make the
date. If the evening doesn't appeal
to her luxurious tastes, she can
always refuse you.
If a girl is inconsiderate enough
to try to get you to take her to
the most expensive place in town,
with no regard for your ability to
pay the check, then certainly you
are justified plainly in stating that
you can't stand the financial strain
and in making an alternate sug-
gestion. Don't let your pride keep
you silent, when hers doesn't re-
strain her from gold-digging.
If you're dating girl rather
frequently, she should be expected
to give you occasional parlor dates
When you have taken her out re-
Gently, you are perfectly justified in
calling her up and asking If you
can't come over to spend an evening
at her home. If she avoids giving
YOU parlor dates when you are
broke, you should quit spending
money on her when you do have
it. There are plenty of other at.
tractive girls who are willing tc
give a fellow an even break in thi.
matter of parlor and outside dates
When a fellow repeatedly run!
into these gold-digging experiences
we think it's at least partially hi
own fault. First, because he pick!
girls who enjoy only one kind o1
good time-the kind where vol
have to buy expensive entertainment
instead of making your own
Second, because he doesn't use hi
head in trying to think up new ant
different ways of entertaining girl
at little COST And third, becaus

After these basic problems are
over, think about your head, hands,
and feet, which means ACCES-
SORIES-hats, gloves, bags, shoes
and stockings. Again, keep it simple
with subtraction, which doesn't
mean subtract in the quantity OF
gloves and stockings you own. In
fact, have all the gloves and stock
ings your little fat budget will allow.
They give a wonderful feeling OF
richness and good grooming, and
we have yet to equal the emotion
of owning half dozen pairs OF
white doeskin gloves at one time.
But the simplicity of these acces-
sories is what is important. Buy
for quality, simple design and per-
feet fit and your smoothness will
reach a new high.
In hats-no, don't always buy for
simplicity. Buy for becomingness
and rightness for the clothes you
wear with the hat. A hat should

Subject OF
Music at
Big Tea
Atmosphere Made
Less Formal by
Popular Type
By Emily Post.

II is hard to imagine that music
could spoil any party although. IN
INV opinion. the husband in the 1ol-
loving letter could be right in say
ing this about it: MY Wl1e Is CIV
ing a very big tea, inviting a NUM-
her of separate groups. she Is
afraid that this and the fact tnat
il is such a large gathering may
tend to make the atmosphere SUN
and formal. and for this reason sne
wants me to engage several mu-
sicians to play all the afternoon.
Don't you agree with me, MRS. FoSI'
that music would tend TO make
things more formal and impressive
and therefore backbones might even
become more rigid? But I can't per-
suade her about this"
The answer to this depends OF
course upon the kind of music. Serl-.
GUS music requiring that people keep
quiet and listen to it-in short, CIV
ing musicale-would be formal Ger
tainly. But two or possibly three
musicians playing popular music
softly would, I think, add a great
deal of gayety to your wife's party.

Dear Mrs. Post: Is it true that
correctly bowl of fruit punch may
be served instead Of hot tea at
large afternoon tea? My daughter
is having such a party and she tells
me that the fruit punch will take
the place of tea. If it would, I can
assure you that matters would GER
tainly be simplified.
Answer: The cold punch is es-
pecially suitable if the young people
are dancing, and in any case young
people seldom care much about hot
tea. In fact, if you have anything
hot to drink, I think chocolate will
be much more popular with them.
Much older people usually prefer
hot tea.
Dear Mrs. Post: What would you
do, as editor, let's say. of the society
page of paper, If Women's organ
izations insisted that they wanted
their names listed in the newspaper
accounts of their meetings as Mrs.
Mary Smith and Mrs. Jane Brown,
and not as Mrs. John Smith and
Mrs. James Brown? These women
say that they are known by these
names in the club and it would only
be confusing to have their married
names used in connection with such
work.
Answer: I should prefer TO list
their names Mary Smith (Mrs.

Mrs. James Brown (Jane Brown 1.
