Peace and Integrity
From the Topeka Capital.

It may have been necessary to ap-
pease Stain, but some time this giving
in to every whim Of the Russian leader
must stop. The United States has con-
tributed too much in war materials and
men to take a second or third place in
keeping the peace-and the integrity
OF international affairs. II Stain Is to
have his own way, there will be no stable
world peace in our time.

policies probably will have to under
60 constant revision in accordance
with what experience dictates. The
problem is too vast and complicated
to be solved all at once; it will be
with us for years, and perhaps more
than any other issue 1t will test the
capacity of the victors to keep on
cooperating in peace as well as they
have co-operated in war.

Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: I am engaged tc
a fine young man whom 1 love very
much. But every time he comes to
see me, he picks at me" about some
thing. never seem able to please
him, although I try my best to dc
so. Sometimes he compares me to
other girls and holds them up to me
as an example.
7 get very tired of these lectures
and I am wondering, if he is this
way now, how he will be after we
are married. WORRIED.
Answer-The critical lover inevi-
tably will make the fault finding
husband who will consider it his sa.
cred duty to keep you reminded con-
tinually of your shortcomings and
never mention your virtues to you
He will gobble down 999 perfect din
ners without ever mentioning their
excellence. but if the bread happens
to be little heavy on the thou
sandth one, he will wonder why 1t
is you never can learn to cook.
He will never notice how you
scrimp and pare and save, but If ever
you indulge in one extravaganza, il
will be thrown up to you to your
dying day. You may stick at home
as close as the house cat, but if you
are once late for dinner, you will be
berated as a gadder. He will wonder

Because too many Of us can only
plead Incidence, there is no reason
why any one should have to admit
living in home she's not altogether
proud Of. If you have been bafiled
at the prospect of furnishing what
seem to be the most uncompro-
missing four walls of an unfur-
nished dwelling, you'll be gratified
to know that with a bit of ingenuity,
hard work and patience, coupled
with very few dollars, almost any
one can solve the most trying of
home decorating problems.
This was brought home to us the
other day when we paid q visit to
two Army wives. These women,
each in turn, had had to cope with
and furnish interiors which taxed
their resourcefulneSs to the utmost.
The one who lived in an apart
ment provided us with several space
saving ideas, one OF which we
thought we'll worth passing on to
you. If your quarters are any
thing like ours, you'll find that
closets are not only at a premium,
but usually filled to overflowing.
But this is not sufficient reason to
ignore your guests and their cloth
ing. Think this one overland II

then painted white and antiqued
A marbleized wallpaper had then
been pasted to the top with wall
paper paste. This substitute
seemed so genuine that one almost
has to touch it to realize that it is
not che real Mccoy. Now, these
two pieces stand proudly, tribute
to the artistry of woman who
foresaw possibilities.
This same ingenious woman
brought to our attention one or two
other suggestions. For example, to
give marbleiZed wallpaper, ap-
piled to your furniture, that added
look of realism, and for projections S
sake, cover the whole with plate
glass. If this doesn't appeal to you,
a light coat Of floor wax mot liquid
will also protect. However, if you're
going to try hand at painting and
antiquing your furniture tgive us a
ring and we'll pass along the
formula don't expect miracles at
once. And, by all means, practice
first on something not too dear to
your heart-preferably a sculptured
piece. If you don't heed this advice,
you may find yourself all too soon
in a pretty pickle. On the other
hand if you're willing to be scien-
tif1c in your approach just think of
the wonders you can initiate into

why you don't look as we'll dressed
as Mrs Smith, but he won't give
you a decent clothes allowance
The average woman's world is
bounded by the walls of her home.
If she has any peace or happiness
in life, she must find them there
Her career is wifehood and mother
hood. Her reward for all her efforts
is her husbands praise and appre-
citation. 1t Is his appreciation, his
love, his admiration that makes all
that she does worth while. II she
gets that, she wins her crown of
glory. If she fails to receive it and
gets only criticism and blame, she
has nothing.
That is why the fault-finding hus-
band Is one of the worst husbands
in the world and why I advise you
with all the earnestneSs of which
am capable, not to marry . critical
man who, even before marriage, has
shown you that all you will get will
be knocks. No matter what other vir-
tues he has, this one quality offsets
them all and you will be perfectly
miserable with him. Nor will you
love him long. Nagging will kill any
affection and make you come to hate
him and dread his approach.

by it. Don't marry fault finder.

this piece its place in the decor by

The innovation was effective. but

contribution to the neat look is an
diversified barrette to hold your locks
secure at the nape of your neck,
Try it-brushing your hair sleek
back, the ends under-and fasten all
with a barrette. You'll be so pleased
with the new look of your locks
you'll probably ape Narcissus with
the mirror. Especially try it with a
barrette that's 5-inch plastic cres-
cent covered with a string of pearls
to glow softly at the back Of your
head. With simple black dress and
pearl choker, it will give you the
look of a cover girl-all for the most
paltry of prices.
CHANGE YOUR STRIPES
Stripes and spring are all but syn
onymous-especially the stripes in a
suDerstriped rayon taffeta ascot.
Long enough to wear as sash, you
can also wear it as an ascot (natu-
rallyD as well as a dashing dickey
with one loop whooshing out of the
suit neckline. The colors offer that
hard to-find combination of fiat
terry and chic. We especially love the
chartreuse with stripes of mauve and
grape, but you'll also like the straw
berry pink with blue and chartreuse
or the lilac striped with jade green
and porcelain blue. A pair of these
one for turban, one for a sash
would inject world of new life into
any wardrobe.
