Smarting under the wrongs to which they have been subjected and determined to make a fight for justice, even as their iore- fathers oi old did, a group oi these ielninine rebels recgtly organized a society now known as the Mother-in-Law oi li/Lassachusetts, but which will eventually be called the Mothers- in-Law oi America as the movement, spreads

It says: "In every human

relationship, every contract, partnership, or whatever, that which we call JUSTICE devolves upon equable division, a return o! value for like value. No arrangement is legal, nor fair, nor lust, in which one party takes all and gives nothing-nor gives all and gets ill return. Therefore be it re- solved: That we, the Mothers-in-Law oi Massachusetts shall and do bind ourselves to the following equalizing rillas oi conduct with regard to our sons, their wivcs, their homes, their children and ourselves and our own

' homes.

“No mother-in-law oi this organisation shall give or ofler advice oi any sort, kind or iorm from her life experience, or knowledge, or what-

“She shall not, in the event of her son lacking employment, seek out any family friend or relative and obtain employment for her son. She ahali consider their aifairs impersonally, whether said affairs are pros- perous or stringent, whether said aiialrs are well managed or ill,

And so I dropped the muffins I had made

And shared the sunset.

Instead.

It is getting around again to houseclcaniug time, and some old paper must be removed from the walls. Here is a method which will do the work quickly, Use one heap- ing tablespoon oi saltpetre to a gallon oi hot water, and, using a whitewash brush, apply the solu- tion ircely to the paper. Keep the water hot and after a icw applica- tions tha paper can readily be re- moved.

l Instead oi Flowers

At this time oi the year when cut flowers are so expensive, a centre- pic ior the dining room table may consist of an attractive bowl filled with the whiter fruits, such as rosy apples pranges, winter pears and hOlr-IIOUSQ grapes arranged attrac- tively over all. This centrepiece may be a bit costly, but you have many meals oi fruit after the party is over.

Mixyone tablespoon oi powdered pumice with enough linsed oil to make a thin paste. Rub the mix- ture on the white spots until they disappear. Wipe off carefully with a soit cloth dampened with a good iurniture polish.

TABLOID

To keep n-uit from falling to the bottom of a cake, try adding the fruit before you have stirred in any flour. Do not dredge it with flour at all.

A friend informed me the other dav that he was planting a lawn. and would I let him have all my old razor blades, a correspondent writes. To my very natural inquiry‘ as to what part they played, he replied: “Pain-t ‘em green-stick ‘em all over the lawn-edge up- abcut a quarter or an inch. Down comes the sparrer-trics to swipe my seed-cuts its blinking throat. Essa."

DOGS POPULAR PETS 1N HOLLYWOOD

Times change. Dogs change. Hollywood changes. A change has come over actors and actresses. ‘Phey may follow tho leader in clothes and picture plotl, but in dogs they are becoming independ- ent.

There are more diiicrent breeds of dogs in filmland than can be imagined. Paul Mfunl, ior instance. has airedals-just plain airedales. William Dieterie, the director, has the rarest dog in Hollywood, a Prince Charles Spaniel, which he brought Irom Germany. It is a tiny animal, much like a Pekingese, Anitallouise and Jeanette Mac- Donald have sheep dogs oi the English variety. t Genevieve Tobin and Charles Ruggles breed West Highland white terriers and Hamid Lloyd prefers Great Danes- Dick Powell-shades oi l925-has a police dog. Ginger Rogers is old-fashioned -she has a collie. Ann Dvorak has two cooker spaniels. _

The list might go on almost inde- finitely. Everybody in Hollywood would like to have an exclusive breed oi dogs, but nature didn't. make ‘it possible to satisfy actors’ vanity to that extent."

Descending in a liit at the Savory a woman with an American accent remarked to the attendant: “You know, in the Slates, we call these things elevators, not hits."

"Yes, madam," said the attend-

, ant, very politely, "we use the word

liit because we can lift you up and liit you down-but can't be ‘elevated’ down."

Women here-or some oi them- their hair like angels, says a writer from Paris. In other words the coiiiure dumge, one oi the newest creations oi an ingenious hairdresses, has become the rage. .

The hair is brushbd or curled back not only from the brow but all round the head, leaving the crown entirely smooth, and making the wearer look something like one

DON'T GO BACK ON YOUR WORD

"What do I do." writes a mother. "when I simply have to disappoint my little boy?"

Ii’ she has to disappoint him there is nothing to be done about it. We conclude that whatever promise she- malda, it was someth- ing not too vulnerable, but pretty sure oi being kept.

This one slogan of child-trainers has caught no more than any other "never break a promise to a child." It is a good solgun, too, and one that should‘ have few exemp- tions except in emergencies.

When such emergencies do arise at times ,as they will, what is to be done? Why, nothing, The heart- break or tantrum will just have to occur, ii explanation won't work.

can.» MAY UNDERSTAND

Suppose Jack's mother has prom- ised to take him out and a blimard begins to whistle. He looks out at the snow and listens to the wind and bears his disappointment like a major. In his case there is tangrible reason ior breaking a promise, so he resigns himself to fate very well- But suppose, in- stead oi a blizzard, a elephone call tells his mother that tho spring dress display ls on will be gone tomorrow and this is her last chance to try on a suit she had seen in an advance calalogue.

What is she to do? She has set her heart on that particular suit» She could not. get it anywhere else. She can not take Jackie because he is fussy in shops and she needs

peace.

Shall she give up going, Just to take Jackie to the park? There are other days, oi course, but her word is at stake. Will a compromise sooth him ii she promises to bring some candy and a fire engine,

Before we teli you what we would do, matters. Ask yourselves. Re- member-smcll things aré impor- tant to children, and shaken iaith deiinilely reflects itself in future conduct. It is also cruelito work up a child to the point of happy ex- pectancy, then suddenly let him down

TAKING KNOCKS

We should go and get what we needed and could not buy anywhere else. If them were further oppor- tunity or any other way, we should not break our word.

Jackie hasto learn to take a few knocks, not only to his faith in people, but to his own desires. It won't lili him to wait until tomor- row, although he has little idea oi time, and tomorrow to him seems like next year.

Qualify your promises with those words: "You know, dear that I will do it it I possibly can." And keep your word as invariably as the sun, unless an eclipse oi sudden emergency gets in the way. ‘men Jackie has "to take it and like it."

FINE ‘FELT BEING USED TO FASHION GARMENTS

The formality cf social affairs during the recent holiday season

brought forth many attractive new clothes. Brilliant dinner parties, threatre openings, balls and ietes called ior the most formal type oi evening gowns.

A gown irom Chancel which has had considerable success is in blank tulle which is spattered with small ilecks oi red and green paint The low-cut decollete is slightly squared and the bodice is fitted cosely to the iigure by means oi a lone ot shining in front. A full front panel is sliirr-cd to the skirt, which hugs the hips closely thr flares out, in fulness to iorm a semi- train in back. In contrast to the slender silhouette oi the gown are enormously full sleeves oi trans- parent flecked tulle.
