ALLERGY

Allergy is a new and mysteri- ous word to most of u;. Nor is it entirely an old story to many of the trlchologists and dermatologists —-scalp and skin specialists-—who have newly begun to stress it; im- portance in the use of scalp and face lotions and. cosmetics.

"People familiar with allergy have less trouble selecting suitable lotions and cosmetics," a noted scalp specialist, declares. They are more able to avoid disappointing and annoying results.

"Allergy is a generic name for the ldiosyncracy of a. person's otherwise normal scalp and skin

BOWLS THAT WILL NOT BREAK —Aj.

Flower bowls and vases are now being made in anodised aluminium. In delicate and lovely tones of light blue and green, pale rose and peach, they closely resemble dec- orative glassware.

The perforated glass plinths used to support the stems of flow- ers have not always proved satis- factory. They tend to become slip- pery after being in use and may slip through the fingers and even break the flower bowl.

The new ware in aluminium abolishes worry over such possible or only too real accidents.

COATS LIKE NIGHTSHIRTS

A famous Paris dress designer. who can always be relied upon to spring surprises on her clients. has brought out a new coat. It re- sembles an old-fashioned night- shirt, except that it is cut off at knee length.

The model is of white serge. with buttons made from almonds complete with half their shells. so popular has the fashion proved that it is expetoed to be copied in a variety of materials. I

Perhaps the new “shadow tweed" will be one choice. This has an ef- fect similar to lines painted on wet paper.

THE MAN'S WARDROBE

to be supersensitive to I certain substance. Many people's skins are irritated by things that do not ef- fect the majority in the least. Most substances are allergic to some people.

“Cold water, for example. often irriates the scalps and skins of persons super-sensitive to cold: the most harmles dym and chemicals

in clothing or stockins came skin rash on some. Skin rash from eat- ing strawberries and hay-fever‘from oversensltlveness of the membranes to pollens are as common . Until recently. many such afflictions were otherwise diagnosed

“It is not surprising that numer- ous people have an allergv to the ingredients of’ one or another lot- ion or cosmetic, although these same contents may have been tested and used beneficially by millions. Cases are known to have resulted from tonics‘dye!. bleaches,

cream: perfumes, deodorants, powders. or soaps “In many. the history shows

that the trouble was caused by careless application or over-use.

'But on the vast majority, when the user blames the r;eparation. the real reason is the weaknes of the individual's own skin A change of

...."Mos‘. all well-known lotions and cosmetics contain ingredients that have been tested by the years. Yet the best makers have yet found no way to pop: with allergy, that is. produce formulas that are use- able by everyone regardless of al- Jergic supersensitivity

Men's clothes are expensive to buy, and therefore they have to do yeoman service. but there is no denying that it pays in the long run to have a well-cut suit, made of a good material. for a well- cut suit will remain so to the end of its days. even though it may get shabby with wear.

It is a good plan never to allow

clothes to become spotted or soiled without taking the trouble to re- move the stain at once. because the longer it is left in. the harder it will be to remove later on. There are any number of reli- a':9e and reasonable cleaning and pressing services nowadays. which will return a suit looking as good as new, for a comparatively small sum. Apart from pres=ing and cleaning, however, there are any number of small jobs. which must be done. If your man is to look his best at all times. One point to remember is ihat coat cuffs become very grubby with constant wear and if these are not cleaned with some good grease solvent now and then. they soon make the shirt cuffs dirty. when cuffs begin to show signs wear. it is best to bind them with a stiffish braid about an inch in width, the binding is sewn inside. and frayed edges taken in with it. This will give them a new lease of life. and the same idea. can be applied to trouser hems.

You will find that any butioni on men's clothes will stay but for much longer it. before you begin sewing them on, you WI-X your thread on a piece of beeswax. rockets are long-suffering thinizs. and they are not exactly an easy job to tackle when they want renewing. It is now possible, now-

of the Marriage Problems for Young People Today — Many Find Self- Comfort More Desirable Than Sacrifices

s

Dear Miss Dix—I am a young business woman faced with a problem

which is common among girls of my status. I am a stellographer. 1 work in a large office and come in contact with many men in virtually all walks of life. I have many dates with young men who all seem to have the same ideals of life. They are not loose in their natures, but uonchalant in their relationship

with girls.

. Most of them are resigned to small sal- aries. with no great hopes for a future. They see no possibilities for an old-fashioned mm‘- ried life. which to me means home-. children and a kitchen. In most cases I make as much money as my escort. Under modem conditions we couldn't hope to live decently on the salary of any of the boys I know. Naturally, I don't want to give up the con- veniences I have learned to love and GESCBN1 to a lower scale of living. If I gave up my job and depended on one of these boys still-

it would soon become a ranklinz 50"? Spot with and his good times - for a home and

But, at the same 6. how can I bring myself to sacrifice my present position for a dubious one based upon love. with a. husband forced to give up the little luxuries which make life bearable for young men under,today's scheme of living?

Do you believe that I

Answer: _ All of us, and especially us oldsters, still like to believe in romance

and to think that there are still men and women in the world to Whom love is enough and who are willing to endure every hardship, make every sacrifice gladly, if only they may be together.

But. alas, it this ever was true. it is apparently seldom the case now. For every day we have brought to our notice tragic examples of love that faltereid and failed when it was put to the test of enduring a few hard- ships. It could not survive a. diet of bread and cheese and kisses. 1‘ had to be nourished on caviar and champagne in live.

All of us know young people who married on a high gust of PB55i0n- although they had only a small income on which to live. They believed I. their love would be strong enough to stand the strain of poverty and sac- rifices. but when the tut came it failed. They could not endure livlns in ugly surroundings. eating poor food, having no car and not being able to go to places of amusement. The result was disillusion and quarrels and divorce. It is a sordid thing to say. but most young people of today love good clothes and good times better than they do any man or Womflna Their grand passion is self-indulgence.

Such being the case. it is a wise thing for a girl to face the situation and recognize that she doesn't love any man as lnuch as she does her creature comforts, and that she doesn't expect any man to love her as much a he does his. Hence. marriage is out of the question unless the woman keeps on with her job and supplies her own cakes and ale and pretty clothes, which, of course, precludes the idea of the Old-fashioned home and should preclude the idea of children. as no woman has a. right to have children wllo isn't going to give them her own personal care and

attention.

This may not be the ideal marriage, but it is the only marriage that is possible that offers airy prospect of happiness to many young people. The men cannot make enough money to support women in the style in which they have been accustomed to live, and they cannot do without the comforts they are used to. So the wife must become a working partner as well as a life partner.

As for a girl entering in what my correspondent cuphoniously calls “a nollclialaut relationship" with men. that is El fatal folly for her to commit. She degrades herself in her own eyes and in the eyes of all who know her. She |«hl'DWS SW8)’ her honor, her decency, her good name for 8. little cas- ual love-making that she knows means nothing, a ‘few dates and good times. she wastes her youth and her beauty and her love in affairs that end in nothing with men who love their case better than they do her. She ends a broken, bitter old woman who runs after men who have ceased

chasing her. Don't do itl a

. . .-. Dear Miss Dix-Herc is the picture. The husband and wife both work. The wife ‘gets up and gets the breakfast and calls her husband to it. It makes him perfectly furious and he says: long as you keep cauing me I will not come.“ There is a scene. Things are patched up and the wife continues calling her husband to meals, and the scene is en- cored. Sometimes the wife eats her breakfast and when he comes down and finds that she has already eaten he is so sore that he just won't eat. This makes the wife cry because she can't bear to think of her husband going to work without breakfast. Her weeping infuriatrs the husband so that he picks up any piece of furniture that might be near and breaks it up, and this makes the wife cry more because she cannon, bear to see the furniture wrecked that they have had such a struggle to get, so she loses control of herself and becomes hysterical. Before she was married this girl was very gay and robust, but now she is thin and sad and nervous. she has asked me what she can do and I do not know what to tell her. ANXIOUS FRIEND.

Answer:

The only thing that she can do is to follow the advice of Mr. Smith and take a walk. That is the only possible way by which she can find out whether her husband is trying to drive her away from her home by mak- ing everything so unpleasant for her that she can‘t stay in it, or whe- thcr no is Just a halfwlt baby who goes into tantrums and breaks up things just to amuse himself.

But I think that the wife in this fuse shows just a little inteulgence as the husband docs. and she is just as much a silly little girl as he 15 a bad lime b0V- If She had my sense in her head she would never call her husband a second time to breakfast after she found out that it sot “Don his nerves. She would let him get, up when and how he pleased and if he was late for his work she should worry.

And she would never beg him to eat because she would know that he was just putting on a show for her benefit and that as soon as her back WI! -turned he would raid the Icebox. or rush to the nearest restaurant. And she would never let him see her shed a tear. because there is no '-musement in pulling a little girl's pigtails unless she cries,
