DRAPED STYLE FOR YOUTH- FUL FIGURE

This season there ale man)’ draped treatments from which to choose your particular style.

For example, there is the dress

with bodice having a horizontal .

draped expression, while the skirt. slim at the sides and back, nitro- duces a vertical drape at the centre front, This is one of the most charming treatments for youthful figures.

A STAINED MATTRESS

A stain on the bed ticking can usually be removed by applying a paste of raw starch and water. Let it dry on and brush off with a stiff brush.

POLISHED SHOE

A good polish on shoes not only adds neatness to the wearer, but will make shoes wear longer and better. The more polish on the leather, the greater resistance t0 rain and dampness, also.

ORDERLY HANDBAG

It is curious how often the most exquisitely groomed women are untidy about. their handbags. Cu- rious; but not beyond understand- ing.

The modern handbag has to play so many roles; it must be a travel- ling dressing table and possibly a travelling office as well. It has to hold bills and change, visiting cards and probably a letter or two. and very possibly a diary, spec- tacles, some keys, etc.

Altogether it is a pretty medley to keep in order and in place. There are many ways of making the contents of a handbag more serviceable and less bulky and messy, but the only way of pre- venting the accumulation of non- essentlals is to turn it ollt every night, or every morning.

Depth across is the most impor- tant quality to look out for when buying a handbag for general use. It doesn't much mailer whether the bag is long and narrow or high and narrow or square, but it docs matter whether it is deep through or not.

A minute bag. rubber lined. ls the safest way to carry a small bottle. whether of cleansing lotion or pexfume. and if you koep rouge. lipstick, mascara and an eyelash brush in the same bag it speeds up the business of make-up repairs and keeps your handbag tidier.

1 Family Love is a Wonderful Thing, But There Are Times When it Should be Forgotten, Especially When There Are Wastrels Involved

Strait and narrow path, but harshness won't

do it. Entreaties won't do it. Nothing will ever do it unless he himself makes up his mind to reform. How, then, will your remedy work? HIS BROTHER. Answer:

It probably won't work because nothing short of a~ miracle can pul. principle and decency, self-respect and strength of purpose into a wcakling. But. to throw such a one on his own resources is the only chance that is left to save him, because when it comes to the final showdown almost every one would rather work than starve. Just as long as a lazy ne'er-do-well knows that he is going to be fed and clothed and housed and taken care of, just so long will he sit on the do-nothing stool and let his foolishly fond family work and support him.

I have known whole families to sacrifice ‘themselves and wreck theu lives for a prodigal who was not worth killing. I have seen old mothers denying themsclvs every comfort to give money to a drunkard when they knew he would spend ii: on whisky. I have seen mothers force their frail, deli/rile daugllll-rs to support a big, husky loafer who would lie in bed half lhc day and spend the other half in poolrooms and saloons. I have seen splendid young men kept poor, forced w give up all thought of mar- rying and having homes of their own, because it took all they could make to continually pay some unprincipled brother “out of trouble" and keep him out of jnil and from the punishment, he deserved,

And I don't ilfnk it is worth while. I don't see why the industrious should toil to support the lazy. I don't see why the worthy should be sac- rificed for the unworthy, or why the sinner shouldn't be made to pay the price of his sin. I believe that familes sunply foster the vices of their prodigal sons when they kill the fatted calf for them, clothe them in glad raiment. and supply them with money so that. they never need to control their appetites, or make any exertion, or do anything they don't want to do.

"He that will not work, neither shall he eat," says the Good Book, and many a. temperamental youth who can never find any work that just exactly suits him, and who changes from occupation to occupation be- cause there is always something in what he is dabbling at that grates on his finer nature, would roll up his sleeves and go to work and stick w his job if he knew that if he didn't he would be in the bread line and have to sleep on a. park bench.

It is a wonderful and beautiful thing, the love of a family that. makes it cherish the black sheep and toil to support it, but it is s. wrong thing be- cause it takes away from him evely incentive to reform. It puts a price upon wrongdoing and weakness.

Q I O l I I I

Dear Dorothy Dix—I am a girl of 19, a slenographer. About two years ago I met a doctor with whom I fell in love and I simply chased him down until I got him, although I knew that. he was married. He really loved his wife and wanted to be faithful to her, but, well you know how lt is when a girl who is younger than a. man's wife goes after him! Last week he went away to study for a month. Two days later I received a sweet note from his wife inviting me to call upon her. I went and she got right; down to business. Told me to forget her husband and let him alone. I refused, whereupon she called in the maid and they stripped me and she laid me across her lap and gave me the most awful beating with a razor strop until I howled and begged for forgiveness and promised never to see him again. Yesterday I received a. letter from the doctor asking me to join him for the week-end, but I refused. I don't know how long I Wlll be able to stand out against him. How can I break off with him? The funny part is that I don't feel resentful to his wife, despite the terrible pain and humiliation she inflicted on me. CATHERINE.

Well, that is one way of breaking up an illicit love affair and perhaps it is Just as good a one as any. At any rate, I am very sure that predatory young women would think twice about taking a wife's husband away from her if they knew that the wife was going to take a razor strop to them instead of getting a divorce. You have got no more than you deserved and, lf only the husband could have received a. few well-directed whacks, justice would have been done.

There is no difficulty about your breaking with the doctor if you want lo. Just do it. He probably will be as glad to be out of the affair as you. Especially when he hears about. his wife's method of dealing with phllanderers.

O I O O O i

Dear Miss Dix-I am the mother of five children. My husband and 1 are devoted i0 each other and have got along together splenddly, but the children are driving me into a nervous breakdown with their constant quarreling, calling each other names and arguing about everything. The two older girls even have 11st fights and I am afraid to leave them t0- gether for fear I shall need the undertaker when I come back. What can I do with such children? A DIBOOURAGED MOTHER.

Answer:

Separate them. if possible. Send one of them off to school or away from home. In that way you will at least promote the peace of the household and save your nerves.

Sometimes brothers and sisters seem to be born with an antagon- ism toward cnch other that they never get over. Everythhk one does rubs the other raw, but, as a general tiring, the quarrellrlg of children in a. family means nothing. They may fight among themselves, but they will stand together against the world. DOROTHY DIX.

Yes , Mr. Vaughn replied. Pbur or five years ago it was tre- mendously successful.

Jim's heart leapt. He steadied it with a prompt application of con:- mon-sense. Mr. Vaughn wasn't in earnest. He was merely talking.
