and steadily.
While we're passing along in
formation, the Bureau of Home
Economics, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, has a few
choice words to say on the subject
of coats. Briefly, here are some of
the guidepostS that their clothing
specialist, Miss Clarice Scott, would
have you heed: Be sure that your
coat fits comfortably and well, when
you're standing. seated and even
when you're reaching. Look at the
label to find out what kind of wool
is in the coat. In order, all wool or
all virgin wool is best, reprocessed
wool next and then reused wool. OF
course, there are exceptions, for
good reprocessed wool may be better
than poor quality new wool, so
watch out.
Good quality rayon Innings are
fine, but be sure that seams are
generous and well stitched to avoid
fraying. Ask the clerk in the store
to rip a tiny place so you may see

ing. correcting, encouraging, disci-
plining children and hoodlumlsm
would be rampant over the earth.
And you call this piffiing work?
You think these things are not i'm
portant? Don't you think that the
finest creative work that any woman
ever does is bringing man into the
world? Do you imagine that Mrs.
Washington and Mrs. Jefferson or
Mrs. Lincoln would have wished
that they could have changed places
with the authoress of best seller,
or a million dollar cinema star?
In Barrie's beautiful story about
his mother he tells that when she
heard of some man doing some
great deed she always sighed and
said: Fine. I would liked to have
been his mother"
All of this being true, it is a pitt
full thing to think that so many
women look upon wifehood and
motherhood as a chore instead of a
glorious career, and that they fail
to get any thrill and excitement and
sense of achievement out of it.
Hence they miss the joy that should
be their reward for the hard work
that they do.
The woman who looks down upon
her own job of wife and mother as
an occupation only fit for Dumb
Doras and who envies the profess
sional woman is motivated, to a
large extent. by the thought that
the latter has her own pocketbook,
whereas she is dependent upon her
husband But she is as mistaken in

Taking it by and large, class for

Dorothy Dix Says -
Marriage Best Career to Follow;
Don't Envy Spotlight Holder

To us women whose avocations
turn the spotlight on us and get our
pictures in the newspapers. nothing
is so strange and so pathetic as the
fact that so many domestic women
get neither pride nor pleasure out
of their calling. Wherever we go,
women who have beautiful homes,
good husbands. fine children. cluster
about us and eXclaim: How we
envy you! 1t must be so wonderful
to write, or paint. or be buyer for
| a Dig store, or movie star. and to
know that you are of some i'm
| portance in the world And you
are so free, while We are bound down
by our families and spend our lives
doing piff1ing things, cooking and
patching and darning. and seeing
that Jamie washes behind his ears
and Mary knows her lessons, and
making the kind of pies that our
husbands like-things that do not
matter. How happy you must be
doing big things!" At which We
snirk and murmur some platitude
that doesn't make sense, but what
we would like to say to these humble
and discouraged women is: Dear
ladies. you haye your values all
mixed. You are the ones who are
following the important careers.
You are the ones who are doing the
worthwhile work. You are the ones
who are molding public opinion and
influencing generations not yet
born. You are the ones who set
the ideals and form the manners
and the morals of a people, and de-
termine whether they shall be
giants or weaklings You are the
ones who hold the destiny of your
country in your hands.
Not we who write things that are
read and forgotten in five minutes,
or who sandwich a lecture over the
radio between an advertisement for
liver pill and new kind of soup,
or who smear our faces with grease
paint and try to look glamorous on
the screen. The whole lot of us
could be liquidated and scarcely
missed.
But just let women quit having
babies and the world stops. Just
let wives quit making cheerful
happy homes for their husbands

ache. At least, the following pearls
of wisdom can make you sound like
an expert across the table at the
next fashion luncheon.
Let's start off with a did-you-
know series about rayon. OF course,
you are aware that rayon appears
in everything from crepes and jer-
seyS to Sharkskin and bengaline. but
have you ever stopped to wonder
why rayon materials are less eK-
pensive than those of natural fibers?
If you think that it's because they're
artificial and thus intended to be
classed as a substitute for more
expensive textile products you'll
never win the high-ranking question
on this quiz program. AS a matter
of fact, the truth of the situation
is that rayons are relatively in
expensive because they are pro-
duced scientifically under controlled
conditions that cannot be handled
in growing and spinning natural
fibers. Rayon thickness can be
controlled, too, so that you get
gauzy rayon chiffonS in your
sheerest gowns and could get truck
tires containing the heaviest grade
OF rayon-if you wanted truck tires.
Spun rayon is a term applied to
rayon yarn that is chopped into
short lengths for spinning into yarn
for fabrics of wool, cotton or linen
types. The chopping and spinning
processes are necessary because the
natural fbers from which the fab
RIGS originally were made are short
in length and have to be spun to-
gether into thread Or yarn before
the fabric can be made. Simple,
Isn't it?
AS for judging the quality of
rayon fabrics, your best assurance
is still to buy from the most
reputable store possible Naturally,
when something is very low priced
you must expect an inexpensive
fabric, but dresses in rayon fabrics
are supposed to wear at least as we'll
as dresses in other fiberS at the
same price. Because the fiber is
made in the United States prices
are less likely to fluctuate. so you
may be fairly sure that the price
you pay will indicate the quality
OF the rayon . Of course, stores
now identify all garments contain
ing rayon, SO watch for this, too,
when you buy.
Even better clothes" are made
with rayon these days. In fact, it's
estimated that about rs per cent
of all dresses retailing over S6 con-
tain rayon, but it's no accident. The

it? MRS. w. A. ID.
Answer-It was probably a fire
place that was designed during the
gas-log era, or possibly for a stove
that burned coal and just fitted
into the opening, using the flue for
the coal smoke which was started
up the chimney by means of pipe
or stack. 1t is likely that the actual
chimney f1ue is only 10 or IL inches
wide, which will not accommodate
the smoke pushed up from a too
large fireplace opening. If this is
the case. making the fireplace open
ing smaller by the use of copper
hood or framework which can be
made by tinsmith may solve the
problem. You might find that using
crate with coal or coke which
gives a glowing warmth without
SO much smoke would be satisfac-
tory.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: What limita-
tions should I observe in arranging
the living room of my house with
furniture of several periods? I have
received several furniture gifts as
wedding presents and now find my
self with a Sheraton sofa with a
tapered leg in deep mahogany and
dark green upholstery, and a pair
of end tables of blond mahogany in
the modern manner, with a center
shelf and slightly curved leg. I also
have Duncan Phyfe pedestal table
which could be used against the
wall, a wing chair in beige up
holStery and a pair of rose and beige
small upholstered chairs. Can l
possibly use these together? What
else will I need to make the room
hvable? D. S.
AnSWer-It can be done, with nice
discretion on your part. Use the
blond tables at either side of the
sofa. If you need coffee table or
any other sidetables, try to match
the color and leg pattern of the
blond tables so that the arrangement
will seem to be deliberate Use the
Phyfe table away from this imme-
diate group and close beside it use
one or pair of chairs in the blond
mahogany. Use the beige or blond
tones in rug or fabrics deliberately.
and play your rose and green colors
strongly against them. If you carry
this out carefully, it will all look as
though you planned it that way.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: I have a bed
room with a disturbing ceiling line
which I 90 not know how to handle.
IT is hard to tell where it begins
and ends on various sides of the
room. One side of the room has a
curved sloping wall which actually
carries the ceiling down to feet
from the floor. The other side has
two dormer windows which break
about 6 inches below the ceiling
line. How shall I paper it, or would
it be better to paint it? If so, where
shall I stop the sides and begin
the ceilings? K. T.
Answer - The simplest thing.
whether you paint or paper. would
be to do the ceiling and side wall
alike and use a contrast in your
woodwork. A light all-over pat
termed wall paper of the hand
blocked or small floral type would
be very nice over the ceilings and
side walls of this room. This will
mask the breaks in the wall and
give it continuity. Pick out one of

Dear Miss Novel;: How shall
clean the light bleached wood of
my oak furniture? They told me it
was washable but l am afraid of
darkening it. j. G.
Answer-Check again with the
store where you purchased the
furniture to find out what the finish
is. If it is one of the sealers
which is used on most of the
blond woods, it may be wiped
off with a soft cloth and mild soap
and water. If not, they should be
able to recommend a cleaner that
will not darken the wood. Soap or
wax will darken any wood that
has an open grain, but if the grain
is sealed it will hold its color in
definitely.
