regale their friends are tales their
husbands told them. While men
theoretically admire silent women
it is observable that it is the chat
terboxes about whom they hover
The dumb girl, as a rule, has few
dates.
Naturally no man wants a wife
who is curtain lecturer, a nagger,
or one who can outtalk him in an
argument, but even at that he pre-
fers one who talks too much to one
who doesn't talk enough. For the
temperature Of the home depends
upon the conversational ability OF
the woman who is at the head Of it.
No one can imagine a gay and
cheerful home in which the wife
sits in grim-lipped silence, with
never word to say, never calls her
husband pet names, talks babytalk
to the children, gushes over a pres
ent or tells about everything she has
done during the day. Better one
who Is a human photograph or even
a scold than the one who freezes
everybody about her with just dead
silence.
Perhaps women do talk too much
but it would be dull and cold world
If they didn't. And it would be
mostly inhabited by old maids. fol-
the chief thing that lures men into
matrimony is to get wives who will
do all the talking and not expect
them to contribute anything to the
conversation except an occasional
"uh huh"

Dorothy Dix Says

The old gag about women talking
too much, which has been the theme
of millions of wiSecracks, has been
given new life by the gossip of two
NaZi fraus whose babble tipped off
the American Army to the where
abouts of Hitler's treasure chest.
OF course, this was an occasion when
speech was literally golden and in
sheer gratitude, we should erect a
monument or, at least, return a vote
Of thanks to the ladies who talked
out Of season, but it brings up anew
the ever-interesting question of
whether women talk too much or
not.
It is mems cherished belief that
they do. Men also believe thai
women do the most talking and that
they are given to gossip of a spicy
nature. So while mems converse.

Cover>Up Girls

Being q city child and . sun wor-
shipper at one and the same time, we
have always had to evolve systems
Of taking our sun where we found it.
AS June came in, out came our scis-
sors and off came the sleeves-and
often the backs-of dresses that had
their own jackets. Thus we were
always prepared for any sudden ray
of sun that happened to catch us
sitting on a terrace.
Eventually, of course, the design
ers came around to us, and now it's
no trouble at all to find the most
saucy of sun-backs with cover-up
Jackets to camouflage the open
spaces. Unless our memory fails us,
Claire McCardell deserves the credit

ply 60 further and more effectively,
At the same time, they give you and
me the opportunity to absorb the
ultraviolet to the utmost. We've
known several girls to take noontime
sunbaths in these pretty barebacks,
with the jacket serving as protec-
tive covering 50 the boss never even
suspected.
OF course, the need for capsule
wardrobes in wartime travelling has
further added to the appeal Of these
twosomes that can do such smart
jobs Of fashion addition and sub
traction. Take one little number
we've just seen-a perfectly plain
black cotton dress with strap decol-
letage and o brief bolero to balance
its baroness. Here's q wardrobe in
itself. The dress and jacket with
simple little white hat and big
bright bag goes smartly to work.
At dusk, the bolero Is subtracted
and flowers are added, perhaps, too,
bit Of yelling on the hair-and the
dress is ready to 60 dining and dane
ing at the drop Of q jacket" as 1t
were. With bright espadrilles and
plated coinure. the same little dress
could go to the country, In this case
adding its jacket when you wanted
to 60 to luncheon or to town.
Another pretty twosome with
which a girl could do some effective
fashion sleight-of- -hand is made of
rayon in pink or blue or gray pat
termed with dolphins and shells.
The jacket prettily screens dress
which has straps made OF necklaces
of cutout shells. Another pretty
double-crosser is a dotted spun
rayon fashioned into a not too re-
|vealing, very appealing camisole
dress with gay ballerina skirt. To
go with it, there's an ever SO brief
bolero with the merest suggestion Of
a sleeve. Add short gloves and a
big hat for fashion-plate effect. We
also like a snowy white dress, sleek
fitting, perked up by touches Of plaid
cotton-in the halter, the bolero and
the hustle bow which juts out coyly
beneath it.
The news In this fashion Is the
low-cut dress with accompanying
cape. Such is a yellow linenlike
rayon we've seen with two-tone set
in belt matching the halter neck
line, and a smart-shaped cape bor-
dered with the two colors. The ad-
dition of the cape makes the dress
look like a simple cape-sleeved town
dress that calls for a large hat and
pretty sandals. No one would ever
suspect that it harbored beneath 1t
a bareback that would do very well
in the country on its own account.

"GREAT-GRANDMOTHER'S
COUNTERPART"


From Mrs. E. E. X, Laurel, Md.
In reply to Mrs. M. G.'s inquiry
regarding Great Grandmother
Counterpart" In November, 1925,
Mrs. Coolidge wrote a short story
syndicated by the New York Herald
Tribune Syndicate in which she told
where and how she got the pattern
and stating that she herself had
written the complete directions for
knitting the pane using No. II steel
needles and cotton yarn.
Undoubtedly this story appeared
in all papers. The clipping I have
before me is taken from the Chicago
Daily News of November %. Their
woman editor had the directions
for distribution and I sent for a
copy. My mother knitted the pane
for me and it has been on my bed
ever since. She took the directions
with her when she returned to our
native country, Holland, In 1885. 1
do not know whether mother Is alive
today having had no word from her
in four years.
1t is possible that copy is in the
Congressional Library.
I may say that when mother was
ready to start the border, I wrote
Mrs. Coolidge for that pattern and
her secretary wrote that Mrs. Cool
idge had not started the border as
yet. Mother then worked out her
own design to match the squares.
The editors note states that Mrs.
Coolidge planned to leave the pane
at the White House. I do not know
whether she did so. Mrs. Coolidge
got the pattern from an old lady in
mate of a home for widows of Con-
federate soldiers in Richmond, Va.
The RICH is very, very good. Thank
you for everything I have learned
through it.
