Dorothy Dix Says

Dear Miss Dix: What should I do
or say when my mother-in-law
comes to my house and gives me
advice on how to rear my baby when
it is different from what the doctor
says? My mother is modern and
says I should give her a piece of
my mind, and that when she comes
to my house I should pack my grip
and leave my husband to entertain
her.
have asked my husband to go to
see his mother at her house and not
have her come to mine. Would you
advise this? He refuses to- do this.
I have a very nervous disposition,
anyway. ELEANOR.
Answer should say, Eleanor,
that you are not only of nervous
disposition, but that you have an
exceedingly selfish and overbearing
and unreasonable one, and that If
you don't watch out it is going to
lose you your good husband.
You speak of your home as "my
house" and you want to shut its
doors in your husbands mothers
face. Have you never considered
that your husband supports it, that
the roof over your head and the food
you eat come from him, and that

Blaming the Teacher
BY A ngeIo Pafri )

Mrs. Tee entered the office hold
ing Mary 10 by the hand. Mary 10
had long scratch on her cheek and
she had been crying. Mrs. Tee was
red in the face and breathing hard.
Il want to see Miss Katy"
Yes. Miss Katy will be glad to
see You when she comes in. She is
not in at present. Sit here for a
minute. What's wrong with Mary
Jo?"
Wrong? Nothing with Mary Jo.
I'll have Miss Katy know she can't
scratch the eyes out of my child
and not have me on her back. The
idea of a teacher scratching a little
child like that. I'll speak my mind
to her. believe me-"
Miss Katy? Scratched Mary
Jo?"
That's what. And I'm not stand
ing for it."
Certainly not. But Miss Katy
does not"
Don't tell me my child lies. Look
at her face. Did she do 1t herself?
I'm going to have Justice"
Breath failed her for a moment
and the principal got a word in.
Then he turned to Mary Joe who
was smugly preening herself before
the glass in the bookcase. Come
here, Mary 10, Let me see your face.
Too bad you got such a scratch.
How did 1t happen?"

"She scratched me-"
"Who did?"
Mrs. Kelly's kitten"
"What?" There was a tense sill
ence.
"Yes," said Mary Jo calmly, still
cycling her plump little figure in the
shiny glass front of the bookcase.
"Yes. she did. She's a bad kitty
I only wanted to hold her and she
scratched me-"
But you told me that the teacher
did it?" exclaimed her mother.
You mean to say you told me a lie
and brought me here to make a
scene?"
The bell rang and the principal
said, There's sthe bell, Mary 10.
You'd better run and get in line or
you'll be late" Mary 10 lost no
time in getting away from it all.
Her mother looked at the principal
in speechless indignation.
Didn't you see the kind of scratch
that was?" said the principal. "No
teacher could have done that. Miss
Katy never would do anything like
that. Mary 10 made a story to

but for his labor you would have no
home? Don't you think that that
entities him to some say-so in it
and to the right to have his mother
treated as an honored guest in it?
You say that your mother is mod
ern and that she advises you to in
suit your mother-in-law. Divorce is
modern, too, and the first thing you
know your mother is going to be
first aid to your having one. The
things that keep a home together
and husband loving his wife are
patience and forbearance and kind
ness and consideration. They are
old-fashioned, but they work.
AS to what to say to your mother
in-law when she advises you about
the baby, my earnest advice to you
is not to say anything If you can't
agree with her. Listen respectfully.
Any woman who has reared family
OF children can give many tips to
a mother with her first baby. Do
you know that the doctors now are
coming around to the old grand
mother formula for rearing chill
dren? They have discovered, for one
thing, that petting baby and rock
ing him to sleep doesn't kill it on
the spot. Instead, it soothes the
baby and makes 1t happy.

calf. The skirt dips in front, is
draped low at one point, to give the
illusion of a long dress. This, she
feels, is the perfect dress for first
nights and dancing, for shipboard
or country club romancing. The
necklines of these soft dresses
plunge to the waistline in front and
the armholes are wide and flatter-
ingly draped. These are dresses for
jewels and long gloves, for flowers
and candlelight.
Full-skirted are the strictly form
al dresses, and for these Adele
Simpson uses cotton - chambray
pique, and plaid gingham. She bares
the shoulders and then adds a
shawl-scarf to drape them.
These are clothes of high-style
design in good taste, clothes to take
the American woman wherever she
wants to go. They define spring
trends, and they will appear in the
stores in February and March.

TIP FOR MOTHERS;
RUST FROM GLASS2

fFront Mrs. o. E. j., Riuerdale, Md.
A tip, that for me has recently
paid dividends in peace of mind for
me, and contentment for my small
son! Don't let baby become so ac-
customed to mother feeding him.
putting him to bed etc, that he
would be dissatisfied away from her.
After recent stay in the hospital
the nurses commented on the fact
that my baby was content, although
shy and easy to care for in, contrast
to little ones who were allowed to
become too dependent on mother.
From infancy, at least once a week,
let some capable person not al
ways the same one) take complete
charge of baby for an afternoon or
evening, and when baby becomes
old enough (nine months in my
case) let him stay away from home
overnight or for the afternoon nap,
infrequently, but enough to be salts
fed with strange bed and another
caretaker. I'm expecting a few
weeks stay in a hospital soon and
am thankful to know my baby won't
be unhappy away from home.
A request now: How to remove
rust spots from window glass? Rain
splashing through the screen spotted
the entire window pane and I've

Newly born for spring, 1916, is the

pealing and beautifully proportioned
as nodded, in fact, las if sprung

This new rounded silhouette has
many names. Adele Simpson tersely
calls 1t the lantern silhouette, a

curves. The modern woman, it
would indicate, will never under
estimate the Importance of a pretty

Minus trimming, the spring cos

tints and soft pale shades that at
first glance appear as colorless as
