Domestic Strife Must Be Stopped
At Beginning for Marital Peace

I plenty Of other married couples who
engage in an internecine struggle
| that makes the 40-year war seem
like merely a preliminary skirmish
and this spectacle, which we are
called upon only too often to wit
ness, even when We are not partl'
| cipantS. raises one of the most IN
| soluble of all the connubial prob
lens. Why are so many households
devastated by civil war? Why tht
| domestic spat? Why do so many
husbands and wives who get alons
amiablv with other people f1nd Il
impossible to get along with eacf
other? What is it about matrimonl
| that seems to make husbands anc
wives poison to each other? Wh!
do they drag out on the carpet tht
| topics over which they have Tough
and bled and died thousand times
instead of burying them decently II
a grave of silence?
Nobody can answer these ques-
ticns. They are among the mys'
teries that Just are. Nobody Is sc
dull and stupid as not to know that
as Mr.. Tennyson so neatly puts 1t
love is hurt with jar and fret, love
is made a vain regret" by the con-
tinual clash of temperaments ano
opinions. and that every bitter word
that a husband and wife speak to
each other makes wound IN the
heart that never heals.
The people We love are those who
deal tenderlv with our susceptiblll-
ties, who gumshoe around our little
vanities. who say tender and admir-
ing things to us and who handle us
with tact. The people whose society
we enjoy are those who agree with
us. who listen with sympathy to
our opinions. who stroke our fur
the. right way so that We purr under
their hands.
Every husband and wife are per-
fectly aware of these elementary
principles in making themselves per-
soma grata to those with whom
they come in contact, and they
put this knowledge into practice IN
dealing with every one else except
the one that it is most important
for them to placate.
Personally, have always been OF
the opinion that husbands and wives
quarrel for the sheer pleasure they
get out of 1t. A good fight, with no
punches drawn, rouses their sport
ing blood and breaks the monotony
of domesticity And the fact that
it is the most dangerous amusement
in which they can possibly engage
simply adds Zest to 1t.
There was never a family argu-
ment that could not have been
stopped at it's very beginning, before
either the husband or wife got In
the others hair, by the use of a
grain of forbearance or a single
conciliatory word. But does either
party try to call off the bout? Not

Manners
of the
Moment

Some girls can be unimaglnably
messy about cigarette ashes and
cigarette stubs 1T is particularly
annoying to hostesses and other
guests alike when the messiness
shows up on white tablecloth.
I've known girls who feel that
they have to bang the cigarette
against the edge of a dish between
every puff. This invariably knocks
the ashes all over the tablecloth. and
sometimes into peoples water
glasses and butter pats.
Also there are the girls who put
their cigarettes out in their saucers.
no matter how many ash trays have
been provided by the hostess. This
not only makes the coffee service
look messy, but it may not be too
good for the china
On the whole. I think mealtime
smokers. especially, should learn TO
control their ashes. even if they can't
control their smoking. JEAN.

longer and when we went IN 1or'
alterations on a dress the other day,
the filter inquired, Are you drop
ping your skirt length, too?' We
allowed as how We were not, being
one of those people who thinks a
longer skirt lacks dash. but we were
told then and there that the ma
iority of women in that store were
having hemlines about an inch or
more longer than in past seasons.
The stores explanation, which
sounds fairly reasonable, Is that
slender skirts look better If they
are slightly longer Full skirts are
being kept about the same, but the
slim lined ones have dropped.
There's something in this, Of course,
because We can't think OF anything
which looks less charming than a
snugly draped skirt which is too
short. Indications also show that
with the new sloping shoulder
giving a downward feeling. skirts
are likely to correspond by becoming
less abbreviated.
! Then, too, you take the influence
| of some one as we'll known and ad-
mired as Miss Helen Hayes. In her
new play, Miss Hayes skirts are
noticeably long. In fact. every
woman in the audience that We
talked to was very much aware of it

the planting beds now and set in a
collection of bulbs for early spring
Towering. These are real invest
ment and give the greatest joy with
the least work. Avoid the kind that
must be taken up every year and
go in for the hardy, sturdy varie-
ties. Plant crocus through the lawn,
If you please, for the first sign of
spring. Then mulch your beds down
with leaves or any other protection
and forget them for the winter.
When the bulbs begin to show in
the spring, the dead leaves may be
removed. When the first gardening
urge hits you, plant pansies at the
feet of the Sprouting bulbs From
that point on you will have color
in your garden. After the bulbs
stop blooming they must be per-
mitted to ripen before their tops are
cut back. To make them less Of
fensive, turn the sprays of yellow
ing leaves down onto the ground.
Tuck them under the pansy plants
and hold them in place with long
wire hairpinS. After two or three
weeks, when they have dried out,
they may be clipped off. This gives
you space for your second planting
of the season.
This little garden has lantana
and deep blue, shaggy petunias at
the rear wall in the full sunlight.
On the sides are zinnias, with low
blue border of ageratum. On the
garden step are window boxes over
flowing with red geraniums and
pale yellow coleus. Many other
combinations might be worked out,
but this one was chosen as it COM
bined the least possible effort with
the greatest results.
Your garden living room is joy
and consolation during the sum-
mer months in Washington, and the
general outline of it, planned and
started now, will bring desired re-
suits next April. Spring comes ear
lier by month to walled garden,
and one that faces south very often
shows crocus bloom as early as the
last of February. With summer just
leaving us, that makes spring only
five months away.

Hair Often,
Is Advice
Spiral Type Best
If Permanent
Is Required
By Patricia Lindsay

Because fine, soft hair seems to
be a problem for the woman who
grows it, have asked Hollywood
hairdreSser to give me suggestions
on how to care for it. And here is
what she writes:
Fine hair should be washed more
frequently than coarse hair, eSpe-
cially If 1t is blond, for this type of
hair has tendency to go fiat. II
the scalp is very dry a shampoo
once a week is recommended, but
if the scalp is oily the hair may
be washed every five days. Between
shampoos the scalp must be cleansed
with little tonic and brushed
religiously.
Fine hair should be set in. small
pin curls all over the head instead
Of in the conventional wave Or
swirl ending in curls. because the
pin curls. when combed out, lend
considerable body to the hair and
make it more manageable.
When the hair is thoroughly dry
the pin curls are taken down and
| brushed well with a stiff brush
and then set into soft waves with
the aid OF the brush and fingers.
If the curls have been set cor
rectly the brushing actually en-
courages the curl and gives the
waves a lovely depth.
If girl has a slight natural
curl in her fine hair. it is better
for her to set 1t nightly than to
get permanent, for fine hair
without permanent is definitely
more tractable, according to our
Hollywood authority. She gives as
example Lucille Ball, whose hair
is of the type we are discussing.
Lucille never has more than. one
permanent q year and that one is
a very soft curl. Because she must
have her hair set every day when
working at the studio, she finds
that it fiuffs more beautifully and
has more sheen if the natural
slight curl is encouraged.
! If you feel you must have a
permanent, then insist upon a spiral
even If your hairdresser tries TO
talk you out of it. A spiral insures
an even curl from the root to the
very end. and it is also a curl with
more body. OF course. the number
of minutes of heating. during the
waving process, depends entirely
upon the condition of your hair.
Fine hair should take the softest
of curls if the proper waving method
is used.
Any scalp ailment should be
"nipped in the bud" so to speak,
through a corrective treatment, for

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

Regardless of all the expensive
and valuable lifts to beauty which
We find in the salons. in the last
analysis it's up to the individual
woman.
Nobody else can eat for her, no
body else can take her exercises for
her, walk in the open, or discipline
her mind. We simply have to pay
the price for beauty and health
Just as We do for everything else
Fortunately, virtually every one has
the price.
Sun is free, fresh air is free, sleep
is free. happy thoughts are free,
exercise Is controlled by our own
voluntary muscles and vital food is
simple food, procurable by most of
us.
Don't let the belief that you
haven't enough money to become
lovely or to stay youthful fool you
into inactivity. You can have
beauty no matter what your budget
says. Why Grow Old" is here to
help you.
Today I am giving you an exercise
which will take inches from the
hipline. Lie on your left side with
your legs in a straight line. right
