ARRESTING NEW SILIIOUETTE

One of the most arresting of the new silhouettes in a recent fashion show was the fitted torso, called "middle" in daytime costumes and “chiselcd" when applied to formals. Tlie middle was at its best in a town costume made with a black wool jersey top that came well over the hips and hugged the throat in a high collar. and o binge velveteen skirt. It was in its most extreme mood in a white pure sill: iaille; at its base-almost mid-thigh level —the chiseled torso was finished with a band of mink, below which the skirt spread in full gathers dipping into e. moder- ate train.

The short boxy jacket was an- other of the good daytime features.

Iis ti-rtue was in its youthful lines. It was developed in furs. black Persian and ocelnt, as well as in woolcns and corduroy. The right ‘ticket-front had a spray of bliicic bead embroidery that was echood on the skirt of its black wool companion dress.

HELPFUL TIPS ABOUT CARE OF CURTAINS

If you are about to take down summer curtains and put them away, here's a suggestion which might prove helpful to you. Put the curtains away just as they are dried after coming from the wash- ing machine and do not starch them until just before they are to be put up again. Starch may attract in- sects. It also damages fabrics if left in for a long period, This warning applies with equal strength to shirts and all other washables which are starched.

A BRIGHT TOUCH

Sometimes a golly patterned cli- Aoth for the dresser or kitchen table will brighten up the whole atmosphere of the room, even ll

the furnishings are more or leu old-fashioned.

Agnes Sore] of the French court is credited with being the first woman to use the diamond as s personal adornment, She wore one in s necklin about 14-44.

SHEETS 0B. BLANKETﬂ SHOULD TUCK IN WELL

There's nothing more uncomfort- able on a chilly night than to have the sheets or blankets on the bed “part company" with you!‘ feet. Remember when buying lneets to get them at least one yard long- er and Wifietf than ‘he mattress. Then they'll tuck in well.

Meanwhile, if you need to mlil a. sheet longer, sew on strips of old sheeting, or new pre-shrunk muslin. And when it comes to adding on tn blankets. oumig cloth, good parts of a worn bian- ket, or even sheeting will do

HINT FOR MOTHERS

A baby's thumb-sucking habit. which a mother fears will push teeth back and ruin the shape of her mouth, should be reckoned with ss an escape from boredom. 0r as a source of fun when she is left to her own resources. A baby will obli-glngly take out her thumb to make way for something more pleasant to taste, Or she will cheerfully swap thumb-in-mouth pleasure for the more novel ex-

A constable who had stopped a motorist for dangerous driving. and _who was inking down the particu- lars kept putting the point cf his pencil in his mouth.

"_"‘".'.'."..'.l'.li' .t':.'...::....t.'.""

Inaanucb as all life is s series of compromises. is it not strange that we have not been shrewd enuumh to introduce the bargaining motif into marriage? Of course. you may soy that divorce is nothing but horse trading. and that when we swap an old husband or wife for a new one, it is in the hope that we will get one nearer to our heart's desire.

\

_ But the catch in‘ this is that while our mates may have faults and foibles that get on our nerved. taken as s whole we are fond of the poor creatures and don't want to part with them entirely. We

, would just like to eliminate their spots. and as we don't know how to do it we spoil what should be appy meninges with our bickering over trifles. Unfortunately. lovers give each ‘other a build-

up to which no human being can ever attain. and so when the beglsnwored bride and bridegroom‘ get the stardust out of their eyes and see each other as they really are, they inevitably perceive the flaws in their bargain.

TRADING ON PEEVE RESTRAIN‘

‘Then the question arises, what to do about it? The good sports take it. The quttters renege on it. But the great majority start on a 30 or 40-year civil war. Yet there is an easy way out. if they would only make it. It is by compromise. By exchanging their pet peeves. ~ Simple, isn't it? A-nd it would be efficacious. for most of the things that husbands and wives spat over are not matters of prin- ciple, but Just differences i.n tastes and habits that rub them the wrong way. Scattering cigarette ashes on (he floor and making bad coffee have broken up more homes than all the sirens and wolves.

So suppose, for instance. instead of a husband and wife being in a perpetual fight over his claiming to be too weary to take her step- ping of an evening. he would say: “All right, I'll make you a fair offer. 1 will go even Steven with you about it. l'll go dancing with you three nights a week if you will let me rest my poor. tired feet in peace the other four."

Or a husband might offer to trade Friend Wife a fur coat, or s trip. for a year's surcease from nagging. or even agree not to comment on her hats if she will let him pick out his own neckties.

And on her part. the wife might contract to do with fewer ex- pensive gowns and bats in exchange for more personal attentions and kises that didn't feel as if they had come out of the frigldaire. 0r she might agree to refrain from trying to make him over if he would take her as the was. And goodness knows what she wouldn't offer. and throw in a bonus. if he would spend his evenings talking to her in- stead of burying himself in a newspaper and Just grunting when she spoke to him.
