Mothers should Remain Clothes-Conscious

Dear Miss DiX—My mother is middle-aged. slim ad pretty and would look perfectly darling if she wou.ld only dress herself up. And my iathtr Willis her to do it. He is and so do I. but nothing will induce her to do so. We can't izet her to grt new clothes and she looks so shabby and out of date. 15 there any- rthzng we can do to make her fix herself up?

A TEEN-AGE DAUGI-I'I'fl?.. Zmiswer:

Not unless you can make her see that she is doing both you and her husband an injustice by the way she dresses. Evidently she is one of the rare women who have no vanity and are not clothes-consc.ou5. and it doesnt seem to her to make any difference whether she looks like a Daily Hint From Paris or something fished out of the rag bag.

But in this she is sadly mistaken. for the general public. which 15 bound to judge a, woman by what. it sees of her. cannot but blame her family for the way she looks and think that her husband is a tizhtwad who won't dress her decently, and that you are a selfish brat who sD9l'id5 all the clothes money on herself. while her poor mother goes shabby.
