THE AVERAGE girl has a
suit andttwo good dresses which
she counts on to use as the basis
of her fall and winter wardrobe.
They are back from the cleaners
and this is the week she is all
set to wear them.
But as she struggles into the
skirt she is dumfounded TO find
it a tight squeeze through the
waistband and all around. A bit
worried. she tries on the dresses
and finds them not as flattering
somehow. This is an outrage.
she thinks, the cleaner has
shrunk them, Then she tries on
the wool jersey she picked up
at sale in the spring. 1t looked
so smart just three months ago
and now it's such a funny fit
around the hips and middle.
That can't be blamed on the
cleaner.
Remedy the Situation
If something like this has
happened, exercise is In order.
OF course the waistband and the
seams can be let out but it's the
first step toward a larger size.
II won't take long TO alter the
figure. and exercise is the best
way to get back in trim and
look II and feel il.
Chances are there hasn't been
much gain in weight, perhaps
four or five pounds. But even
with no gain in weight, figures
can change drastieally. This has
been a terrifically hot summer,
and il took the gimp right out

cry" of the bedroom for summer
Put away the warm winter spreads,
rugs and curtains and blossom forth
with cool, colorful accessories. When
making your bedspread selection
keep in mind the durability of the
fabric and the washing qualities.
Several local shops have spreads on
display that would enhance the ap-
pearance of any room. These are ex-
quisitely tailored of a long life
fabric. We understand the material
is pre-shrunk, soil and dust resist
ant, and vat dyes make it safe for
home washing, if handled with mild
soap, water and care. Most of the
spreads are trimmed with fluffy
white organdy to give them a dainty
appearance.

EASTER CANDLES-We1l admit
1t isn't necessary, but wouldn't it
be cute to have specially designed
candles on the table for Easter

Dorothy Dix Says

In proof whereof you have only
to observe that in those cases where
the husband and wife do work
together to build up a home; where
they both take hand in the gar
dening and cooking; where the wife
takes an interest in the husband &
collection instead of throwing it into
the garbage can with the other
Junk there is no trouble about wan
dering spouses. For man is a do
mestic animal by nature. He mar
ries for a home and when he gets
one in which he has half interest
he stays in it.
No one can doubt for an instant
that 1t is the lack of teamwork be-
tween mothers and fathers that is
responsible for practically every boy
and girl who goes astray. For when
God gave every child two parents
He knew what He was doing and
that neither one of them could turn
out good job single-handed.
But when mother spoils little
Johnny and father is harsh with
him; when mother cuddles Mary and
pities her when father tried to make
her behave; when mother slips
Bobby money when father attempts
to teach him to live on his allow
ance; when mother teaches the chill
dren that she is the only one who
loves them and father calls mother
a fool, they kill each others in
fluence over their children and the
children defy them and go their
own foolish ways to destruction.
The motto of one of our States is:
United we stand. Divided we fall.
That should be carved above the
door of every home.

change my hair style as often as I
please, setting 1t accordingly the
night before. For example, by
making small pinculrs on top can
have small curls of the Maria"
type. (Ed. note: AS Ingrid Berg

Whom the Bell Tolls.'D On the
other hand, by making larger pin
curls, I can have a softly waved
pomp, and If don't curl 1t at all

"Fon special dates I use the switch
fixed into knot on the nape of my
neck. This makes dressy or for
NAL hair-dress that may be changed
by ornaments. Also I part my hair
in the middle, wearing the switch
braided across the top and some
times for formal wear twist a string
of pearls into the hair.
''In addition to these I can wear
1t in a roll all the way around
comfortable for the summer. hope
that some of these ideas may be
help to your readers"
Another interesting suggestion Is
offered by Mrs. D. NJ, who writes:
Here's my Q cents worth on the
hairdo controversy. Like so many
girls, I have to put my hair up
almost every night, even though I
have it done at a beauty parlor
every two weeks. On occasion when
a hectic day at the Office has left
me too tired to go through the
nightly hair-pinning ritual I've
turned the next day to the up
swept, which manages via combs
and pins to look neat and trim.
My husbands reaction to this is al
ways derisive You look Just like
you've come out of shower
"His favorite style for my hair
(Which, incidentally, is baby-fine
and reddish blond) is center-parted
with a short off-the-face roll across
the top. The rest is rolled under
page-boy fashion, starting at the tip
of the ear. I like this style, too,
because the top rolls give softness
to the face, at the same time adding
height to my short figure. The
turned-under back part Is trim
rather than bushy, which I think
every one will agree is neither be-
coming nor suitable to a woman
over 25."
Thank you, Miss ]. M. and Mrs.
D. N. not only for your excellent
suggestions but also for proving
! that women always will have the
last word.

The one place where teamwork Is
more needed than anywhere else is
in the home, yet nowhere else in

tyrant who brooks no rival near the
throne and to this fact is due most
Of the domestic ills from which we
suffer.
The two chief sources Of our tears

1t doesn't take any Sherlock Holmes
to trace both of these griefs right
back to the despot on the hearth

wife and mother whose intentions
are the best but whose methods are

nine times out of a hundred it is

of women Is that their husbands

they consider them only places to
eat and sleep and in which to change
their clothes and it never even
occurs to these wives that the rea-

Always the Last Word

A month or more ago we started
a bit of a bout on the subject of
hairdos-or, rather. one of our male
readers started it by writing to say
that he didn't like the hairlines
we had written about. We then
invited other men to express their
opinions-and they did, taking
sides on the long and the short of
the coiffure controversy. The re-
suit Of it all is that if you want
to know what the men like you'd
better ask your particular man be-
cause we find that there is a COM
plete lack of unanimity among the
gentlemen when 1t comes to women s
hairdos.

the flattering softness of bangs on
the brow, at the same time ex-
pressing dislike for the long flow

RUBBER RINGS.

BetheSdd.)
Some DAYS ago a letter asked
sWhy are my peaches dark at the
top of the jar and why do the tor
ones taste rubbery?"
The top peaches are dark,
imagine, because they are not COM
pletely covered with liquid. dc
know, however, why the product
tastes of rubber.
After months of conscientious
hard labor with the intricacies o1
canning, I had the disheartenine
experience of having many of my
products taste so rubbery they were
scarcely edible. Feeling that if new
Gamers throughout the Nation Wert
having the same experience, the
whole canning effort for the coming
season might be considerably re-
duced, I carried the problem to tht
Department of Agriculture.
Similar complaints were coming
to them from all over the country
To make a long story short, tht
makers of jar rings were in rubber
shortage, using whatever they coulc
get, and in some cases the rings or
the market last summer were so bac
they smeued like reconditioned tires
(and may have been).
Some Gamers were fortunate II
getting preWar rings, others secured
rings of good quality. But many
bought rings that left very definite
rubber flavor in their canned prod
uct. The old-time zinc top Jared the
best, for the rubber was fartheS
from the products. The creates
offender was the three-plece glass
top jar, which leaves more of tht
rubber exposed to the product thar
any other type Of jar
AS a result of all the trouble, {
convention was called in Chicago
early this year by the Research De
partment of the Department O
Agriculture Those attending were
makers of glass jars, makers Of ja
rings, heads of home economic de
partments and others deeply con
cerned. I feel sure that, as a resul
of the convention, jar rings OF salts
factory quality will be on the marke
this summer.
I would suggest, thoull, that il
buying new jar rings this year yol
open the packages in the store, smell
them, and be sure there is no often
sive odor. Then you may feel quit,
safe in using them.

Emily Post
Advises

A brlde-to-be writes me that
she lives in small city apartment,
the bridegroom in very large SUBJ
urban house. His family has offered
their house to her family for the
reception, which otherwise will have
to be given in hotel in the city.
The question is may her family dis
regard conventional rules and ac-
cept this offer and for further con-
venience may they be married in
the grooms church,"
At the present moment we all
know the war has given encourage
ment to plans that are practical, in
contrast to those which are con-
ventional but which now happen
to be impractical. Therefore even
though it is an established custom
that the brides family alone shall
make all provision for the wedding,
in this particular situation the ques-
ton of whether this plan will seem
all right or all wrong depends upon
the following details: If the fam
lilies are friends and if the wedding
guests number as many from the
suburbs as from town and If the
suburbs are easily reached by pub
lie conveyance from town, then I
really can find no sensible objection
to giving the wedding reception in
the house of the bridegrooms par
ents instead of in the room of a
hotel. On the other hand if his
family and her family are strangers
and their house is to be chosen be-
cause it is conspicuously impor-
tant this fact will almost certainly
bring very real criticism upon her
famlly-even in war time! The
church is of course all right, espe-
cially if her clergyman is invited
by the groom's clergyman to per-
form the ceremony.
Dear Mrs. Post: Please explain
which Sunday is meant by next
Sunday" Certain friends wrote
next Sunday" on their invitations.
Sunday came and half of those in
vlted had taken it to mean the Sun
day of the following week.
Answer should say that "next
Sunday could be as close as the
day after tomorrow. The real an
swer is that it is always best to
include the date as we'll as the day
you mean. Or at least to put date
on the post card, in which case next
Sunday could not mean any Sunday
other than the one following the
date given on the card.
