WOMA Cretonne Coats, BY MARY I was not many years ago that a &ertain young woman who owns and ®perates one of the smartest of the ®mall dress shops in this country ©xnsed much astonishment when she @ppeared for luncheon at her favorite Testaurant wearing a frock of cretonne. Tt was not astonishment tringled with admiration. Women Who knew hcr smiled covertly, won- dered what the poor girl would do Dext, and suggested that she had ac- eiently come off wearing the slip tower of one of her arm chatrs. Cretonne had been discreetly used Before that for trimming frocks and hats, bat this young woman was one ©f the first in this country to offer frtive dresses of cretonne. And be- Zore Jong she sold many of them. The frock of cretonne or chintz s @xther unusual this season. But the £oat of these upholstery fabrics is fiistinctly smart. French women have & penchant for them, and have all sorts of ways of enriching the fabric by embroidery and beading. In the coat shown in ihe sketch the principal outline of the design is marked with goid thread, and the coat is lined with black satin. Unfortunately for the woman who es to try her own hand at making all such novelties for herself, the cretonne coat is someth ng that should be strictly ‘avoided by the amateur, no matter how skilled she may be.’ For the cretonne coat, like the coat made of a paisley shawl, is best left to the professional dress- maker. If you make it yourself it will not be taken seriously. Cretonne figures may be used to Eood advantage, however, for orna- menting the summer wardrobe. You may cut out striking rose or other floral designs from cretonne and mount them on silk slip to wear \indl'r a georgette or organdie frock Cretonne figures are applied with success to summer hats, and some of the new scarfs show ut-ou from cretonne and chintz applied in blanket stitch on silk foundation. There are all sorts of possibilities in using decorative bits of cretonne in trimming children summer frocks, Sometimes little irregular shapes cut regardless of design of the cretonne @re applied to the scarf. hat or frock.

[DFAR MISS DIX: Will vyou please answer these three questions: First. Should a boy place all his trust in the girl he loves? Should he believe everything she tells him? Second. If a girl really loves a boy, will she try to please him in every way? Third. Would just an ordinary friend take a girl out riding once, and sometimes twice a week, and even allow her to drive his car? INQUISITIVE. . Answer: First. There can only be perfect love where there is perfect faith. No man can entirely and completely love a woman uniess he feels that he can absolutely trust her in cvery way. But there are many degrees in love, and it is quite possible for a man to have an infatuation for a woman who he knows perfectly well is not trustworthy. A man often loves a woman well enough to kill for her, when he knows that she is entirely lacking in principle and that she will lie and cheat and be disloyal to him. The reason shows that the one who is jealous does not trust the one of | whom he gr she is jealous and believes that he or she is capable of being | a traitor. As for a boy belicving everything a girl says to him, that is not a proof of love. It is an evidence of asinine credulity. Nobody but a simpleton believes everything he or she is told. 1f we have any intelligence, we apply | mental acid test to evervthing we hear, for as Holy Writ justly observes, | “All men are liars” and all women, even the truthful Jones, tell tarrididdles. | And more especially do the sexes lie to each other, so any man is justified In taking with & grain of salt everything a girl teils him, discount- ing by half her carnest assurance that he is the first man she ever loved, and that she does nothing but think of him when he is away from her, and similar lovers' perjuries. Second. 1f a girl really loves a boy she will try to please him in all reasonable ways, because real love seeks not its own, but prefers the happiness of the beloved one. But a girl is foolish if she submits her will entirely to a boy's and lets him establish a tyranny over her. A man soon ceases o care for that sort of a spineless woman. Certainly before a couple is married the man has no right to dictate to the girl and force his will upon her. If a boy isn't willing to go fifty-fifty In giving up to the girl she is wise not to marry him. Third. Whether a_voung man's taking a girl out riding once or twice a week indicates any feeling deeper than ordinary friendship depends on the circumstanc If he is engaged to another girl, it shows an undue interest in No. But if he is not engaged to any one, it may merely | indicate that he finds a girl an agreeable companion.

DESPONDENT WIFE. Answer: Stopping an argument is the easiest thing in the world Despondent Wife. It takes two to make an argument, and if you just keep out of it your husband can't get into it. Break yourself of the habit of contradicting him. Keep silent, no matter what he savs. If he asserts that the moon is made of green cheese, let it go at that It doesn’t make w bit of difference to you whether it is or not, but it do make @ big difference whether you get into a quarrel with your husban, over it. and in the heat of debate you both say things that vou don't mean, but that stab like dagger thrusts and hurt like an unhealed wound after- ward. so that your husband goes out and slams the door behind him and you sit and brocd over his injustice. . | looking Of all foolish and futile things in the world, an argument is the silliest and most useless, Nobody is ever convinced by one. Nobody ever changes his or her opinion on account of one. All that it does is just to stir up strife and trouble, and alienate people who care for each other. Nine-tenths of the discord in homes can be traced right back to the arguing habit that hushands and wives fall into. Why. I have been in homes where people had fought for forty years over points of doctrine in religion, or political issues that were dead as a door nail, or whether a man should smoke in the living room or not. Each one knew that nothing on earth would change the other's opinion, and that just to mention churches or tobacco was as good for a ckel is for a ginger cake. Yet instead of stepping wide of these topics, they dragged them in by the hair of their heads and went at them hammer and tongs. nd serenity was scattered to the winds. Half the time mun and a tearful woman around the house, and they ike cach other. all because they had not sense enough All the peace there was a grouch actually came to di to cure themselves of the arguini vice. | e more intellixence than this, Despondent Wife, and cheer up.

DOROTHY DIX. | | [DEAR MISS DIX: Should a widower in poor health, who is fifty-one vears | old, marry a woman of twenty-nine® If he has grown children, should | they interfere in his plans of matrimony?® SUNBEAM Answer: To answer vour last question first, I do not think that grown children have any right to interfere with their father's matrimonial pla unless he is making a much more foolish marriage than he would be if he married you. But unless vour widower is able to provide very well for you and to hire trained nurses when he is sick, it seems to me that you would be making a very poor bargain in getting him. - The disparity of ake would be too great, even if he were a strong and healthy man. It is proaibitive in a sick man. You would be nothing but the slave of man concerned with his own health, gloomy and| hypochondriacal d you would spend the best years of your life in the sickroom instead of in enjoying vourself. 1If the man is not rich the situa. tion would be worse, because you probably would have to support him in addition to nursing him.

Billy quit coughing, much to the disappointment of all his gond woman customers, who were working up sure cures for him That would be called “reflex cough.” Still, the ear is really part of the re- Spirators tract. so it is not very re- markable that irritation even in the outer ear canal should induce a cough. Cough is sometimes a misleading symptom in acute antral sinusitis, a slow, hacking, annovingly persistent cough, which might readily draw sus- picion upon the innocent bronchial tubes or lGngs. Children who begin to bark and eough after they have gone to hed at night are commonly uttering a de- mand for the removal of denoids. And a great many cases of alleged acute bronchitis children are in Teality merely acute inflammation of the lymphoid tissue in the roof of the pharynx—adenoiditis. An infant or child 1s likely to cough considerably when lying down, par- ticularly lving on the back, in simple coryza—=cute inflammation of the fining of the nose—from secretions draining down into the throat. To ply a child with any alleged “cough cure” in such circumstances is a per- nicions but still a popular practice in some household: Tt one found on a package of pea- nut butter or pancake flour a printed assertion that the food contained no paris green or strychnine, one would hesitate to use the food at all. But with medicines people are not so par- ticular. They'll swallow almost any- thing that purports to contain no laudanum, say. Homeopathic Way to Reduce. In reply to a perennial query which I am glad to note is becoming rarer every year. ' am not an allopath. There is no such school of practice and there never has been. Now wait. 1 do not deny that many doctors have been dubbed “allopaths” by col- leagues who had wandered off the regular road on to other “paths.” Look in the dictionary and see what allopathy means and who invented ,the epithet and why. Then you will understand that I merely state a fact when 1 say there is no alopathic “school” and never has been. Neither do I profess affiliation with the homeopathic school of practice, though if I had to restrict myself to a particular path I think I'd ‘make a pretty fair homeopath, at that, as homeopaths go. At any rate, modern medicine owes some of the most val- uable methods in treatment and pre- vention to the elementary principle of homeopathy. The now well tried anfl generally effective method of immunizing sen- sitive individuals against ivy poison- ing by internally administering to them homeopathic doses of poison jvy daily over a period of a few weeks at the beginning of the season is one instance. Even more striking is the remark- ably prompt relief and cure of the Skin inflammation present in that condition by a daily hypodermic or rather intramuscular injection of a Arop or two of . the homeopathic Vthird dilution” of rhus toxicoden- dron (paison ivy).

Please let me know | Whether the use of a_depilatory pcowder. then scraping off with dull side of knife. is less harmful than shaving.—D. B. M. Answer.—Shaving y way is alwavs less irritating than chemical shaving. A small safety razor is especially made for the pur- pose. Shaving with the razor prob- ably does increase the liability to infection and abscess in the armpit. The irritation commonly caused by depilatory preparations is much more likely to induce abscess. My husband, aged fifty-four, suffered several spells of lasting four or five days. The doctor called the spells gastric crises. H blood test is “syphilitic four plus. Please explain gastric crises—Mrs. H. A R Answer.—A gastric crisis is a sud- den spasmodic cramp or pain or vbm- iting which often occurs in locomotor ataxia. The mechanism or explana- tion for its sudden onset and relief after hours or days is not clear. (Copyright, 1924.)

Very often a bow! of flowers is shown off against a broken background of lamp, books, plctures or other ornaments. blossoms directly against a neutral wall of soft plaster, paint or paper their full color effect can be secured to the best advantage. An- other thing, this vase of flowers used as a wall decoration is a weleome variation from the framed pictures, mirrors and other accustomed arti- cles hung in our rooms. There are several forms of the hangipg vase. The one shown in our sketch is of painted tin, with a black background and a simple flower unit in soft tomes that will not fight with any of the posies that may fill the vase. This tin basket is flat at the back, where it rests against the wall, and rounding in front. Its tall handle is of tin and the whole vase goes flat against the wall. It is very lovely in the simple wall panel of a room where rough plaster in a mellow cream color gives a perfect setting. Cornucopia-shaped vases in pottery may be had for hanging on the porch or in the sunroom. These are Drettys when hung at the side of a window or in an angle where the flat-backed vase would not fit. Be- ware of using too many hanging vases, however. They can very easily be overdone and so lose their deco- rative value altogether. My Neighbor Says: To remove white spots from varnished furniture, hold a hot stove 1id or plate over them un- til they disappear. Take a candle by the wick and give it a coating of white varnish, then put it away to dry for a couple of days. When lighted, the varnish prevents the grease from running down the “side, and the candle will last twice as long. In arranging a sitting room, large spaces left empty look more comfortable and are more convenient in every way than a room too full of furniture. A home -is not @ furniture ware- room. but a place for people to live in and to grow in and to -move about in. Never scrape enameled ware, because thescoating will be apt to chip and then the vessel will be unfit for use. If food burns on the bottom of pots of this kind, put a small lump of com- mon s0da into it with hot water and boil until the food dislodges —about fifteen minutes. If the burned food still sticks, the pot may be scoured with fine sand. Enameled ware will be protect- ed if the bottom is rubbed thickly with soap (the outside, of course) before being put over the flame of a coal stove.

You have a good disposition, but often mar it by unreasonable out- bursts of temper. Of all the things that we carry around with us. temper is the easiest to lose and the hardest to find again; and when found, it is like a lo pocket knife—rarely in as good con- dition as when we lost it. The chief difficulty about temper is that. when one person loses it, somebody else usually finds it and sometimes hands it back to us. In your business a triviality will needlessly aggravate you, and, more often than not, cause anger and loss of equilibrium, so essential to success. In vour home life the little worries incidental to all domestic circles, which are generally met with a smile or a shrug of the shoulders, only serve to arouse in you bad temper, Some people, when they lose their tempers. count one -hundred before saying anything.
