Dear Miss Dix: Why don't you
preach in your column to the faith
ers and mothers who make their
childrens lives miserable by their
quarreling? My father and mother
are continually quarreling, hurting
abusive language at each other
and accusing each other of things
that were not meant for children's
ears. When they are peaceful they
are grand parents.
The strange thing Is that they
try to teach us children self-control.
When we quarrel among ourselves
we are scolded for it. yet they don't
realize that they are setting very
poor example for us. Please tell
parents that when they fight they
are hurting their children more
than themselves.
A CONSTANT READER.
Answer-Why so many fathers
and mothers consider that their
quarrels are their private affairs
that do not concern their children
is a mystery that nobody can ex-

at the Mortified faces of their
youngsters to see how shocked and
amazed and hurt they are. And
they have only to use the slightest
intelligence to realize that they are
killing their children's respect for
them.
Parents seem to forget that when
their children are little they take
their ideas and views from father
and mother. For what father
thinks of mother the children think,
and what mother thinks of father
the children accept. Hence the
father and mother who tear each
other down before their children
do them a terrible wrong, because
1t destroys all of the parents in
fuence over them.
And of the effect of the parents
quarrels upon the nervous systems
of the children, any doctor and
psychiatrist will tell you it is re-
sponsible for most of the neurotics
and the maladjusted people in the
world. One famous psychiatrist even
went so far as to say that he had
never had case of men and women

Emily Post
Advises

A letter asks: How many rings
may gentleman wear? I empha-
size the word gentleman in order
to express a man OF best taste. May
such a man wear more than one
ring at time-either one on each
hand or perhaps the two on one
finger?"
In answer I can say that two
rings on two fingers of the same
hand would be decidedly bad, and a
ring on each hand not good. But
two rings on mans little finger
are perfectly correct If they 90
well together and are becoming to
his hand. OF course, this depends
on the type of his hand. A thin but
strengthened, large, long fingered
hand can wear much more con-
spicuous ring Cor rings) than a
small, smooth, short-fingered one
particularly a fat one.
Dear Mrs. Post: have been plac-
ing the fork in the left hand and
knife in the right hand, cutting the
meat and eating it without switch
ing" the fork to the right hand. I
have been told this is not proper
and not the American way to eat. If
this is true, please tell me the cor
rect way to cut and eat meat.
Above all else, want to follow the
American example.
Answer-What Is said to be the
American" example is a strange
and curiously colloquial habit called
zig g-zag" eating. According to best
etiquette, the correct way is to eat
exactly the way you suggest.

Your Psychologist
By Dr.. w. II. Young

Nervous headache is durable.
Many people have spent years in
search Of relief from this agonizing
pain. Sometimes it Is accompanied
by sick stomach and extreme weak
ness, irritability and other nervous
manifestations. Such victims find
that symptoms return within 1
definite cycle.
There is no medical cure for this
ailment. 1t Is not Of organic origin,
but is classed as functional dis
ease. All functional ailments are
due to subconscious complexes Of
which the suffered remains un-
aware.
When treated in the proper man
ner these symptoms disappear COM
pletely and the patients general
health is improved Is . result. II

Coats a Side Issue

After too many wears Of style
sameness in coats, the designers
have finally come out with q new
look that manages to date every
cloak in your wardrobe. Enter the
wrapped look-the look of a lady
swathed in fur-of a coat that wraps
or ties to the side. Short or long,
it's this fashion side-play that makes
coat look so new. Hand in hand
with this swing to the side Is the
luxurious use of fur. 1t may be a
flourish on a cuff-or double cuff
on huge buttons-or borders that
swirl to the side. Sometimes it's
full-length black with sophisticated
black fox ripping round the bottom
and up one side-or one. of the new
brighter eolors with several inches

other number that shrieks 1945 out
OF every seam is what might be
called three-way stretch-that is,
If the million dollar look Of the coat
didn't make sucha hippancy unbe-
coming. Anyway, it's three
quarter collarless gem with double
fur cuffs, a wide border of fox
and versatility that comes as a
complete surprise You can wear 1t
three ways-hanging free from the
shoulders, Cossack- fashion with a
belt to cinch in the waistline, or
smartest of all wrapped in a self
inflicted bear-hug.
Everywhere you see tuxedos which
will be the most popular coats Of the
season, although we wish they
wouldn't because they're definitely
not becoming to everybody. Be that
as 1t may, you'll find almost any
color coat with almost any kind of
tuxedo you could ask for. Some are
short. some are long and you'd better
watch your step buying the short
ones because they can be very i'm
practical If you don't choose wisely.
Some tuxedos have a furry of fur
from stem to stern (fox or lynx, for
example, which manage to achieve a
nouveau richie look to our conserva-
tive way of thinking. Others speak
softly with the quiet elegance Of less
furry furs. Such is handsome coat
of yarn-dyed gray melton cloth with
tuxedo of soft brown nutria. One
model that has been popular Is a
soft green coat with muskrat tux
edo, the fullness of the coat stem
ming from smooth circular yoke.
1T looks well on everybody" Is
what the buyer tells us-part of the
reason being that twin pleats low at
the back of the skirt add a flatter-
ing though restrained fullness at the
spot most women need it most.
For those who are not SO slim,
there's lovely coat we admired in
gold with nice scanning and sheared
beaver trimming all but the hem. 1t
has a drawstring at the neckline-
on which it does not depend for
closure because most tuxedos are
held together by invisible hooks
which the stores sew on-in case
you've been worrying.
One more word about tuxedos--
this one q tuxedo cape, just about
waist-length. It's wool cape, quilt
lined, with nutria tuxedo-smart-as-
anything with brown suits or brown
woods. but definitely in the extra
coat" category.
OF course, there are smart fitted
coats around, too-usually designed
with more softness than heretofore.
Mr.. Mangone, for example, came
through this season with two
toned effect that is very good with
soft cartridge tucking allowing just
the right amount of front fullness
There's more news in the flatter-
ing feminine dressmaker REFER that
bids fair to replace the Chesterfield
in our fashion lives. Such a coat is
one gently moulded to the body with
turnback collar, deep gauntlet cuffs
and little stand-out pockets. Wear it
with or without furs, over almost
any dress in your wardrobe. This is
the kind of coat that manages an
air of quiet elegance with small
cover charge.

piece OF material, then choosing an
other piece, lap it over the edge of
the first piece after turning under
the raw edge where the pieces lap
and secure the second piece with
whipping stitches. Then continue
adding additional pieces In the same
manner until the square is covered.
When all the squares are covered
they are easily scanned together to
form a quilt top approximately 72
by 80 inches.
If it is desired to embroider the
piece joinings this may be done
before joining the squares as they
are snore easily handled than the
completed quilt top.
She will find the foundation
squares not only provide a guide
for keeping her work fiat but will
also strengthen the silks and satins
and produce longer lasting quilt.
When using strong cotton pieces
I have used this same method but
used squares of paper as the founda-
ton and did all stitching by sewing
machine. The paper Is then torn
away after a square or block is
completed.
Eight-point stars may also be
covered by crazy patchwork and they
make up into an attractive quilt.
Get your pattern by cutting an 18-
inch square of paper. Fold this
paper in half croSswise, and again
in half crosswise to form a square
one-fourth the size of the original.
Then fold again on the diagonal so
as to form triangles,, then taking
the point which was originally the
center of the large square and bring
it over to intersect the edge of the
opposite side of the triangle. Cut
along the edges of this point and
when the paper is opened the result
Will be an eight-point star. Use
this as a pattern with which to
cut muslin foundations for the star
blocks. Again 20 will be needed
Cover these in crazy patchwork as
des ribed before.
In cutting the paper star pattern
there will be some squares and tri-
angles remaining Take one each
Of these and place on another paper,
draw around them allowing a seams
width larger than your patterns.
Then cut this new square and tri-
angle and use as pattern to cut
pieces to fill out the crazy stars to
make square blocks. These pieces
may be from white, unbleached, or
harmonizing plain colored material
If quilt larger than the 72 by 80
inches is desired the quilt top may
be finished by a crazy pieced bor-
der. Use strips or inches wide
for foundation and apply pieces as
before. Provide strips of sufflcient
length to go all around the quilt
and finish with binding to match
the plain material of the squares
and triangles.

I think it was good idea to
republish the recipe for uncooked
fruit cake made with graham
crackers for the benefit of the
readers who did not see it last year.
The first one I made I used honey,
as recipe directed. The others /
used corn sirup instead of honey
and liked them better. Uncooked
fruit cake does not always turn
out SO well, even If directions are
carefully followed. The above sug-
gestion has always been successful.
