Dorothy Dix Says
Swapping Old Wives for New Not
Prescription for Happiness

Wise old Ben Johnson once said
that second marriage is the final
triumph of hope over experience.
When middle-aged man discards
a faithful and devoted wife with
whom he has lived for Is or 80
years in order to marry girl young
enough to be his daughter, it is all
that johnson said it was, and then
some. It is an optimism so great
that 1t borders on insanity.
Yet every day we see men who
are sufficiently in possession Of their
faculties to be permitted to go about
without a keeper, who are the VIC
Tins of the delusion that they will
attain perfect happiness by taking
brides half their age. They have
seen dozens of their friends try the
same thing, who we're worse off after
it than before. But the experience
of others does not keep them from
kidding themselves into the belief
that the cure will work with them
and that marriage with a fappe1
will be a hymn of bliss, with not a
discordant note in it.
One of these victims OF his own
wishful thinking is convinced that
all he needs to secure his perfect
happiness is to swap off his old wife
who has grown somewhat battered
and work-scarred by the years, for q
new wife who Is stream-nne and as
fresh and pretty as paint can make
her. He says he and his wife have
been married for 20 years and that
they have five children, fine young
sters Of whom anv father might be
proud. He hasn't a word to say
against his wife. She has been as
good a helpmate as any husband
could ask.
They married on a shoestring and
she has worked and saved anc
cooked and pinched pennies to helr
him pile up nice fortune. She
has been a good housekeeper ane
made him comfortable home. HI
Is really quite fond OF her, but some
how life with her has grown drat
and dull. No thrill. No pep
Monotonous. Just coming home, da,
after day, to a good dinner and {
placid evening with a woman whos@
main theme Of conversation Is tn,
children and what they are doing.
And she doesn't understand hin
as his pretty secretary does VIII,
sees that he Is still boy at heart
even If he is getting bald. He ha
fallen in love with her and feels sh,
is his real soul mate, and he want
to divorce his old wife and MARI,
her. And don't I think that aftel
man has worked hard for Is years
to support his wife and children
that he is entitled to some life O
his own and to marry the woman
with whom he knows he will be per.
fectly happy?
Well, if there were some sort o
sentimental insurance company tina
would guarantee that these secon,
Evening star., 1942-10-28

marriages would transport the men,
who entered into them, to the re-
gions of the blest, you couldn' t
wonder at their selling their old
wives down the river to get the
price Of their glory tickets, human
nature being what 1t Is and as
prone to selfishness as the sparks
are to fly upward.
Unfortunately, however, there are
certain fundamental facts in life
that initiate against the success
of trading off old wives for new and
that make it one of the most haz-
ardous deals in which a man can
engage.
One is that at middle-age mans
middle name is not Romeo. 1t is
Darby And he can get far more
tired Of young wife than he can
of an old one.
And another fact is that we can
not build our houses of happiness on
broken hearts and find any joy in
it. In every room we will be haunt
ed by the drip of the tears that we
have caused to be shed. Nor can
we wipe out the memory of a past
marriage on a brand new marriage
certificate. Particularly is this i'm
possible when there are children.
The man who thinks that the love
Of his pretty young wife is going
to compensate him for the love of
his children befools himself. They
are bone Of his bone, flesh Of his
flesh, heart of his heart, deeper
than any infatuation for a woman.
And when he realizes that he has
forfeited all part in their lives, that
he can never boast of a brilliant
son or beautiful daughter, he
knows that he has made the sor-
riest bargain that a man ever
makes.
And, finally, there is the cold,
hard fact that between the two
generations there is gap that
neither can bridge. It is not thu
pretty young wife who understands
her husband. It Is the wife who
belong to his own generation, wht
has the same background and ira
ditions. They who have been young
together and are growing old TO-
gether, who have worked side by
side, who have thrilled over new
babies and wept over little coflns
and worried over sick children to.
gether are the ones who have every.

Girl May Lose job
lust for Lack Of
Personal Care
Careful Grooming,
Good Taste Is
Best Policy
By Patricia Lindsay

Frowsy hair, ''blood-red" painted
flngernails, lazy speech. slovenly ap-
pearance, inappropriate clothing,
rundown shoes or sports shoes and
spike heeled slippers, hair worn too
long on shoulders. lack of manners
all contributed to make many girls
and women lose their jobs last year,
according to Miss Ethel A. Robinson
of Columbia University, who made
very exacting survey.
Miss Robinson claims that train
ing in personality, appearance and
speech are as essential to a girl
wanting to get and hold good
Office Job, as is training in tipping
and shorthand. She has figures to
show that almost 80 per cent Of
business women who lost their jobs
last year can blame 1t on defects in
their personalities and grooming
rather than on lack of skill.
This authority on of1ice procedure
suggests that the Office girl wear
plain dresses or suits with soft
touches to make them feminine, un-
Objectionable makeup which gives
q natural healthy look, trim hats
(she abhors the hatless vogue), hair
nicely coiffed (no long glamour bobs
or exaggerated pompadours), well
manicured f1ngernails tinted In rose
or natural shades, tailored styled
shoes with medium heels, and spic
and span clean clothes.
A girl can be very skilled at her
job and worth good salary but II
she is careless about her grooming
and speech habits and thus annoys
her employer or fellow workers she
will not be kept on the job. En-
ployers particularly stressed their
dislike for long hair, frizzy hair
(from too many permanently nails
requiring attention and obvious
makeup. So take the hint girls, and
please the boss.
The personality defects which girls
must guard against, If they wish
to succeed, are lack of confidence
(timidity), over-conf1dence (arro-
gance), lack Of initiative applying
good sense in times of emergency
and carelessness. Carelessness Is
the major personality defect-it can
show in her appearance, her voice,
her attitude, her work. It causes
many Job losses.
Skin needing attention speaks Of
carelessness-so the office worker
should adopt beauty routine which
assures her of clear complexion
frequent cleansings, good eating
habits, getting sunshine and fresh
air and exercise. Rightly or wrongly
a blemished skin prevents many a
girl from getting the advancement
she deserves.

colors and fabrics, as long as the
soles are non-priority. This is pre-
cisely what they have done. The
shoes displayed at this showing
which is really a gathering Of the
clan" from all over the country-in-
dicated that we may expect some
amazing substitutes for leather soles,
not only for the duration of the war,
but for the postwar period as well.
Sensations Of thef show were the
creation of Elliot E. Simpson, inven-
tor of the automobile tire made from
scrap rubber under the Federal rub
ber program. The new soles he dis
played were approved by thousands
Of shoe manufacturers and retailers
and by many public officials con-
nected with the war effort. But as
an example, here are some of Mr..
Simpsons brain children: There's
a new sole made Of various corded
materials, hardened, water-proofed
and strengthened for wear. These
are moulded right into sole forms
and are said to be more attractive
than rubber or leather soles, as we'll
as giving better wear. Also featured
were wooden soles that do not look
like wood and which have the plia-
bility and residence that Is neces-
sary. Other innovations include
glass corded soles for street wear,
crystal soles in all colors, plastics,
soles made from yards of lace
fabric and some made from carpet
woven rug material treated chem
ically and combined with plastic.
Here, then, are really startling
developments in shoe designing
What will come Of them, only time
will tell. However, it seems likely
that If the new soles are as prac.
tical as they sound, they will be
quickly adopted by manufacturers
OF course, you never know what thu
next move will be up at WPB. They
can change the whole story in {

Speaking Of new shoe designs, w

OIQdll ueJdl pdTGS WHICH are on
priority lists have been replaced by
wood parts or other "stand-ins."
Filings, which are used for uphol-
stored furniture, have been replaced
by modern substitutes. Some of
these are much better than the we'll
known materials, and are accepted
now because of the emergency. In
other times it would probably have
taken several years of expensive ad-
vertising to convince the buying
public, so slow are all to change
from the things we know best.
The number of colors available are
also curtailed, as are all special or
aers and made-to-order coverings.
sn planning to furnish rooms it Is
wise to build a color scheme around
the things you know are available.
Variations in tone and exact match
ing of color is most difficult. It is
wiser to get upholstered pieces in
contrasting colors and then ''tie the
scheme together" with drapery fab
RIGS which may be purchased by the
yard, thus offering wider range of
color tones. Slip covers are also
useful to make a sofa or chair,
which is right in size and shape, but
wrong in color, fit into your scheme.
For a time, the manufacture of
wool rugs was almost stopped, until
it became evident that the stock of
rug wool was not useful for other
types of textile manufacture. Rugs
on hand will probably last well into
the next year, though here again,
colors and patterns are limited. IN
the future, cotton and various non
priority materials will take the place
of wool for floor coverings.
Cotton and rayon fabrics are the
inspiring note Of the whole scene.
AS long as the charming colors,
weaves and patterns remain (and
there seem to be plenty in sight) the
drabbest sort of room may be turned
into a thing Of beauty. Great
splashes of colorful flowers on dra-
perry fabric will make a window
wall arresting. Large couch cush-
ions of a fabric which picks up
a high note of color in these dra-
peries will continue the theme at
another point in the room. Still
another bright note may be
repeated in lamp bases, small acces-
sories and flowers. With all this
color spotting, monotonous rugs,
walls or upholstery, will become
merely background for comfort.
High priority metals are no longer
fashionable. point based on the
idea that what you can't have, you
don't want. In their place have
come some Of the most beautiful
glass and china to be seen in years.
Plastic, being so important In war
manufacture, has slipped from the
scene for the time being. Silver is
still available, and many Of the
handmade pieces are fabricated as
delicately as jewelry. In years to
come it will be fun to remember
that you bought them at time
