The Prince of Wales visited his parents at Sandringham Tuesday. to say good-bye preparatory to his leav- ing Friday for a hunting trip in Africa. The Prince's trip is a contin- uation of that in which he was en- gaged when he was called home. l3 months ago by the serious illness of

his father. O O O

Brides the world over are studying with interest the trousseau of Prin- cess Marie-Jose of Belgium. whose uedding to the heir to the Italian throne, Prince Umberto. will take place in the Quirinal at l-‘tome on January 8.

Interest is the greater since this Princess is a. typical member of the younger generation, lovely of face,

tall. slender-and much interested~in

clothes. which she wears very well-

Unlike her royal mother, who almost

invariably dresses in white, regard- less of tho vogue of the season, the Princess is fond of colors. which ac- cord well with her dark hair and bril- liant complexion.

This taste is manifested in her which includes several evening frocks in bright shades. as well as white and pastel tints. and

The delightful levee at Gov- ernment Housc was largely attended by those anxious to pay the’): re- spects to the King's representative the Lieut. Governor and Mrs. Hearts. O O O The New Year's Eve dance in the P. W. C. Hail was the public social event of the week and was a most enjoyable affair. O O There were numerous chain din- ner parties and late suppers after the dance to usher in the New Year. O O O Mr. A.

the new three-quarters length. which is favored for wear with the long evening frocks. A printed chiffon dresss is also included, in a pastel floral pattern. with swatlied girdle tied at one side, and skirt cut with long circular side draperies-

Riob fabrics also appeal to the Princess. She has chosen velvet for a striking daytime ensemble. In this case. as in several others. the hat is

color, the coat being in contrast. A soft rose beige, o. color that promises tobe very smart for spring. is chosen for the frock. which has a modest _V deoolletage, sleeves with wid

pointed cuffs, a. girdle that molds the o;- evening wear in brownish tints of hips, and long circular sections ap- g golden cast. ofler a charming ac- plied at the sides of the skirt. A lit- tle turban of the velvet is folded to fit the head closely and has a coquet-

tish frill at the back.

The coat of this ensemble is of ' ' black velvet. three-quarters length to accord with the irregular hemllne of

the frock. and has a huge crush col-

lar of fox which is dyed in the exact

tint of the dress and hat.

It is significant that the Princess

has had many of her hats made o

fabric. since Paris promises that the hut will rival straw for

fabric resort and spring wear.

For a fur spat for general wear,

mink is selected. out on classic lines

with shawl collar and straight sleev- es without cuffs. This will be worn with afternoon frocks of flat crepe and velvet, and less formal costumes

Tortoise-shell is the name of a new pinkish-brown tone which Paton demonstrates in two of his prettiest tailleurs for early spring. Ono of these is called a suit-dress and eon- sists of skirt and bolero jacket-the latter being as one with the skirt in the back-and a lustrous satin blouse. The blouse is colored the shade of the very pale lights in tortoise-shell. A matching hat accents the outstand- ing brown tone of the tortoise and harmonines perfectly with the en- semble.

Dear Miss Dix-I am attending a teachers‘ college where tho boys are in the minority and this makes them greatly sought aim by tho girls. This causes them to think that they are o necessity to tho happiness of the girls. I resent this egotiam and believe that o. woman can ,-' enioy life without the help of a man. Don't you’! JULIA.

Answer: .

Certainly I do. Aman isn't a necessity in a woman's life. Ho is Just an annox. Sumo of the happiest and most contented women I have ever known in my life were eid maids, and scmo of tho most miserable were wives.

Most men hold to the theory that a woman can't be happy without a man. and you can't blame them for believing that way when you no how women chase them down and what they marry. Inok at the way girls scramble for dates with any sort pf poor human shrimp that hos on trousoro. Ho may be homely and dull and stu- pid and egotistic and. have so little money that the girl baa to pay for the movie andtho eats and the street car. but abo would rather go out with him and be bored to tears than with a bunch of bright, poppy girls who pay their own way and with whom she would have a good timo.

And consider the way women marry: Laay. good-for-nothing men whom they know they will have to support; drunkards. philanderers, cranky and bouy men with whom they quarrel ovonbeiore they got married, and who show that they never consider anybody’: happiness but their own.

Why do women do thou fooliahtbingo? Just because they are sold to tho old superstition that iomehow a man is a nocossary ingredient in their cup of happiness. Just because the girl thinks that if she doesn't go out with o man it will show aho was unattractive. Just because tho woman has an idea that sbo had better bs badly married than not be married at all. and that if she isn't married life will be flat, stale and unprofitable.

All of which is nonsense. Of course. thoro is the attraction between tho seasa that adds a certain out and pep tn their companionship. and that makes each sax find an interest in the other that it doesn't one in its own. Also, of course. it'is true that the greatest happiness that can come to any woman is to ‘have o. good, kind, loving, considerate and sympathetic husband.

But it is not given to many of ua to draw tbs capital prius in life and tn say that there is no joy in the world for a woman unless some man is hon:- ing around is as foolish u to say that there is no pleasure in iifs for those who are not born living pictures, or millionaires; or great geniuses. Most of us get olong oory comfortably. thank you, with merely being possably good- looking and having an income that pays our bills with a little budgeting, and without bolus bighbrowa.

Of course, in the past men were more important to ‘s happiness than they are nomforinthcsedaysa woman hadtodepondonsomemanfor her support, for her position in society. for her homo. and for hor every pleas- uro. _Sho had no money except what some man gavo her. No interest ex- cept what scmo man put into her life. Nothing to talk about except what he told her, and she couldn't even walk around the block without hanging _on to some man's arm. "

But new any intelligent woman can make enough money to keep her comfortably and give her absolute financial independence. Sbo can have o. business or profession that will fill her life with useful, constructive work and give her something to think about. She can sot up her own home and she can travel around the world alone without anybody batting an eye at her. Sothoworldisfullofanumberofthiagabooidoo menforwomonjnd they can all be as hobby as queens in an Adamleiis Eden. though I am bound to admit that things are o. little bit in ors interesting for them if than is an Adam and a snake or two hanging at ound tho promiooo.

O O Dear Miss Dix-Why do ws find oo often that children who have a very intelligent and orderly father inherit all tho ovil traits from the mother who is disorderly in all nei- ways? I knew a family whore there are three child- ron whose father is a man of high attainmonto. vory ordorly and Prompt about everything ho does, but tho children oro like tboir mother who is always behind time; wboso house is in confusion and whooo work is never finished. whose dishes are never washed, whose beds are never made until it is time to use them again. Can you tho psychology oftbis? Why do the children not follow their fine. orderly father, instead of their slipahod. siev- only mother‘) » l. G.

_ I

The explanation of that is easy enough. It is the mother, who is with the children all daylong, who forms their habits. Those children are dis- orderly and unpunotual because thoir xnothor brought them up to be that way. ‘rhoy have never been taught the valuo of time. or the beauty cLan orderly life. ‘
