Dorothy Dix Says

A friend of mine who has a large
family of girls takes each one OF
her daughters aside on her wedding
day and says to her: You are start
ing life on your own now. Work it
out for yourself. Don't come running
back home too often. And don't tell
me about your husbands faults. I
don't want to know them"
If every mother would give her
daughter this wise advice on her
bridal eve, and every bride would
lay it to heart, it would save many a
marriage from going on the rocks.
For, without know it and without
intending it, mothers do more to
break up their children's homes
than all other causes combined, and
they should be named as the CORE
spondents in most divorce cases.
This Is not because mother is a
flend who finds sadistic pleasure in
destroying her daughters happiness
and alternating her from her hus-
band. On the contrary, mother Is q
good, kind, Christian woman who
wouldn't willfully torture a fly, but
she cannot bear for her petted and
pampered darling not to have every
thing she wants, whether her hus-
band can afford to give 1t to her or
not, or to have to face the respon-
sibilities Of life and pull her weight
In the boat.
So when Isabel comes weeping to
her and sobs out on her breast how
cruel John Is when he won't buy a
mink coat, or tells Of the terrible
things he said to her when her pie
fell fiat, mother poor darlings her
and pities her until she makes her
feel like a martyr.
OF course, every married couple
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-06-29

has to go through a period of ad-
justment. 1t is impossible for two
people of different sex, of different
heredity, brought up in different en-
vironments, to always see eye to eye
with each other. They have to learn
to give and take and compromise
their differences and, nine times out
Of ten, they will do this if they keep
their troubles to themselves.
But when Isabel runs whining to
mother with her complaints about
Johns imperfections, and recounts
his every fault and foible that grow
bigger and bigger as she enlarges
upon them; when she means out
that she is being nothing but slave
to a heartless tyrant, who expects
her to get up and get his breakfast
in the mornings and refuses to take
her stepping every night, mother
pours over her gallons of sympathy,
and the end of another marriage is
In sight.
It is because girls know that they
can run back to mother when the
gilt begins to rub of Of the ginger
bread of their romance, and they
find out that marriage means work
and worry and dealing with a he
man instead of a cinema hero, that
makes so many young wives quit,
instead Of trying to make successes
Of their marriages.
There would be very few divorces
II the Isabels knew that there would
be no welcome on the old home
doors for them and that their moth
ers, instead Of plying them, would
tell them to go back to their own
homes and behave themselves, and
act like adult women instead Of
spoiled babies.

GOOD NIGHT1E, LADIES!-This
is for those Of you who wear sizes

find good values lately in any size
nightgown, but the ladies who wear
those sizes have had 1t harder than
ever. War or no war, I'VE still have

Well, II we were manufacturing lin
gerie ourselves, we couldn't do any
better for you. These gowns are of
soft shimmering rayon satin with a
rich deep lace front yoke and a
beautifully cut built-up back. They
have all the features you want-a
good deep bustline, comfortable
broad shoulder straps and a gener-
ously full cut throughout. That's
because the maker is one of the top
designers in large-size lingerie. We
guessed 81 more on the price-and
you'd gladly pay at least that much
more. In fact, it's one of the best
buys we've seen in lingerie in many
a moon. ALI that and Heaven Blue,
too! Yes, 1t comes in hard-to- find
blue as well as a soft tearose.
TO ONE SIDE, PLEASE-If we
had to choose the one item that was
most useful to a girls wardrobe,
we'd say a good skirt because it's so
conveniently versatile. Take, for
example, the number we are cur
rently gloating about. It's a black
sheer crepe wraparound that Grapes
gently to the right hip where it ends
in q bow. We especially like the
way the wide belt crushes softly.

Apt. Furnished
By EIeni Sakes.

The one thing that you can al
ways depend on in an apartment is
that 1t never Is perfect In all re-
spects. The really finiShed product
that reflects you" is the result OF
. lot Of work and thought before
hand.
We are all influenced by what our
friends think, do, and say. Some
times that Is good thing, but all
too often 1t proves disastrous. When
planning your apartment don't be
swayed by the fear that your friends
will think 1t too conservative or too
bizarre. Plan on spending q lot of
time in 1t, without the benefit Of
their presence. Remember this be-
fore starting to decorate your apart
ment. Exhibition rooms. are for
the furniture and department
stores. You want to actually live"
In your own place, not just be q
visitor there.
The war has forced many to give
up homes that they had furnished
lovingly and lived in for many
yV0AOs dAJO Aldo ulduC tA1Cu1 UUAA W
apartments. Contrary to much sup
position, apartment living, too, can
be beautiful" But achieving at
tractive results in less space has
been the problem facing many a
new bride, as well as brides of long
standing. when confronted with
"apartmentitis."
A great help in finding out how
your furniture will adapt itself to
the new space Is to make a floor
plan Of each room, being careful to
indicate doors and windows on a
scale of one inch to one foot. Then
measure the top surfaces of all your
large pieces and make fat card
board cutouts Of them. Now you
can shove them around and fur
nlsh" your apartment before even
signing the lease. This will save
you the tears you might shed when
you discover that your prize piece
Of furniture is or 8 inches too
large to fit into the place that is
allotted to it.

I It goes without saying that the
most important thing In the selec-
ton OF an apartment Is that II
have as much light as possible. A
sunny room Is the pleasantest thing
one can find. But II you don't
possess one that lets Ole Soils rays
penetrate you can make your dark
rooms more CHEEKY by painting them
light colors. a dark room, though.
may be painted q dark color II the
proper lighting Is installed.
Every inch Of room in q small.
compact apartment-or in q one.
room fiat-should be made to count,
both for service and decoration.
Use builtins, incorporate the idea
Of having q sitting room and bed
room, utilize "handmedowns" that
have been refinished or done up
gayly in airy-looking chintzes. In
an apartment-as in q home-it Is
skill rather than the "greenback"
that takes the lead. But when ex-
pense Is no worry, then the ultra In
decoration Is possible. Such details
as mirror panels extending across
the hearth and continued as doors
to conceal built-in china cupboards
can then be yours. Whatever the
case-make the best possible use Of
every available inch.
To avoid confusion In a one-room
apartment-when you must dine,
sleep, dress and entertain in the
same arcade careful not to clutter
the room with too many small deco
rative details. Keep most of your
beloved toy dogs and knickknacks
out Of sight. To make your room
seem larger place mirrors to focus
an opposite wall. If you can't af.
ford smart large one, then buy
several smaller unframed ones (con-
siderably cheaper) and arrange
them together as a single unit.
All this fuss and bother about how
one should do this and that Is not
trying to keep up with the Joneses.
1t is essential because of the per-
sonal satisfaction that can be yours
when you know that the Job has
been done, and done well!
