PREPARING FEATHERS For Uss in Pillows A reader writes to ask me how she can cleanse feathers for using as piIIOWS, and I am now giving directions as to how to do this. It is never wise to use either pigeons’ feathers or those from game, as these are often likely to be tainted and therefore un- pleasant to use The smaller feathers only should be dry cleaned, while the rest of the feathers should be placed in a good lather of hot soap flakes. Plunge the feathers right under the water and leave to soak for at least an hour; stir them now and again. When this is done, drain the feathers well and rinse them in 8. bctlrof warm water intn which you have added a small quantity of n ia. Lastly, rinse in clear cold water, MART FROCKS FOR FASHIONABLE PEOPLE Illustrated Drecsmaking Lessons Furnished With Each Pattern then place the feathers in large paper bags to dry and put these in a warm oven (with the gas out.)

Will Wearing Diamond Ring Friglltell AWN Prospective HusbandsL-Silly of Children to Let Selfih Illjilother Ruin Their ves ‘ Dear Miss Dix-My mother gave fir?‘ very Pic“; ommond ring, which I wear with pride and pleasure. My aunts and cousins toll ms tbs reason I have no boy friends is because o! this ring and that. I am lwllllll my chances o! marriage by wearing it. They say I frighten the boys ofl by it and that no young mun would marry a girl who wore such an expensive piece of Jewelry. Ho would think ho could never support her. Are they right in their viewpoint? EMMA MAY. I don't know whether a diamond ring could hoodoo a girl's chances of marriage, but I have known many a girl to loss out on get- ting a good husband by -- ing too well. In fact, nothing is more common, than the pitiful tragedy that we see enacted over and over again, in which a girl does the thing to attract a man that drives him farthest from her. She is pretty and she wants to make a hit with some young chap with whom she has fallen in love. She knows that fins feathers make fine birds, and that even a living picture is enhanced in attractiveness by a Sorseous trams. So aha goes in debt for the chiflons and the velvet wraps and the imported mil- iinery and the silk stockings and satin slippers that will add, to her beauty and that she feels sure will capture her man. But it doesn't. It scares him stifi. He hasn't. the nerve to ask this Bird of Paradise to live in the humble little chicken 000p that is all that he can oflsr his wife. Besides, he thinks that she isn't the kind of woman that he wants for a wile. Ha wants a helpmeet, a woman who will be willing to work and pinch pennies and wear hand-me-downs while he is getting a start 1n the world. He doesn't intend to handicap himself by a clothes-mad wife who will run him into debt, with her extravagance, and who won't. be happy unless she is decked out like the Queen of Sheba. by lying about the dress that she made with her own fingers, being an import that she got so cheaply-only $150. Imagine itl And that her hat, which she really bought in a basement and trimmed over herself, was such a bargain-only $50. And generally giving we impression that she regards hundred-dollar bills as mere chicken Iced. No young man in his senses is going to marry a girl like that. "Gosh." he says to him- self. "one dress would put me bask a whols month's salary, and Heaven knows what would happen to the family budget when she had to have a new pair of shoes or came home with a. love of a little coat that they had marked down from $1000 to $995. "She belongs in the upper brackets with some millionaire. She is not. in the class with a poor chap who is trying to rake together a few dollars so he can say ‘here’ when opportunity knocks at his door. so I bad best drop out. o! the picture belore I get. to looking too much into her eyes and thinking how cuts she is. Besides, I don't like a girl who dress- es beyond her means. It isn't good taste and it isn't good sense. And, no matter how good she is, it makes people wonder who pays her bills. So I will look about for little prettikins who looks sweet in a simple frock and doesn't try to understudy Mrs. Croesus." Believe me, my dear, every young man worth having does count the cost o! the upkeep of a wife, and many n one is frightened out o1 mar. riage by a girl's overdressing the part. _ So perhaps it would be just as well to park that diamond ring if you want. some poor young chap to put a gold band on your finger, DOROTHY DIX. ssnavs Many n. girl frightens ofi a chap who would make ha: a good husband I Dear Miss Dix-Our mother h love her and appreciate all she has pay her in every way we can, but whole lives to her? we leave her.

A DEVOIED DAUGHIIER. Answer: . Your mother is one of the possessive, selfish mothers who are perfect- ly willing to ruin their children's lives to grltliy their own morbid mater- nsl passion. There are plenty of them. They wrap their children's characters by never letting them have any association with youngsters of their own age. Every day you can hear one of them say: "I am my children's pal. We go everywhere together and do everything together. I am their Only inti- mate friend." They ruthlessly shut the door of opportunity in their chiidrmk faces because they cannot bear to bs parted from them. You has: thsm lay: "John had such a fins ofier to go into business, but it. would have nec- essitated his going to a far city and I just wouldn't let him go. What is money and success compared to being with those you love?" They keep their children from marrying because they can't bear w give them up. You hear them say: "Mary and Tom have promised they will never marry as long ls I live. They are so devoted to me, and had when sbs was yolmg and saved Tom from ths clutches of that fri - olous girl he was so crazy about, and who never would have spoiled him as I have done." And you see Tom and Mary growing stufly and middle- aged and dull, sacrificed to an old woman's jealousy. There is no use in arguing with a possessive mother, because she so- counts it unto herself for righteousness to be so frantic about her child- renthatshswantstoowntbsmbodysndsouLandkeopthsms-igbtin her hands all the time. But tho children are weak and foolish and wrong to let her dominate them. They should break away from hsr and save their own lives. They should not let her spoil their happiness for them by holding them in slavery and preventing mom from marrying, m» 1mm following where fortune leads them. The right sort ofmotherwantshes-childrcntocklrwhatisbostlnd happiest for them. Sh: is the one who sacrifices herself to her child- ren. She does not exact the sacrifice of their lives to her. DIX.
