F EATURES. Beauty in Heavy, Warm Neglige BY MARY Until quite recently there has been ® deadly sameness about cold-weather negliges. 1f you could afford it you had one made of two layers of china silk heavily padded between, and embellished with enormous figures of wistaria or other flowers that bloom in the Spring in Japan.

Now there is as much diversity in the way of negliges as there is in the making of more fermal frocks and gowns. And no fabric is con sldered too costly or too gorgeous and no trimming too rich. Rich furs are used to trim them, and colors more gorgeous than any that are found in ball gowns are used to give tone to many negliges. The sketch shows a charming mauve velvet neglige trimmed with clipped marabou dyed to match. Sometimes soft white fox is used in- stead of marabou. Menu for a Day.

I can cite you numerous instances of such happenings from my own files. It is a condition that exists, and I should think it should be prohibited by the ethics of the profes- sion or perhaps by law. v truly yours, If Mr. Green succumbs as a result of the shock, then the Insurance company ought to consider discarding blood-pres- sure measurement as part of the exam- | ination.

Insurance companies set certain arbi- trary limits for blood pressure, and de- cline to accept as good risks applicants whose blood pressure {5 not within the arbitrary limits. This {s good, sound practice as amply proved by experience. That some individuals with moderately | high blood pressure live “many, many more years” does not invalidate this rule of practice. The difficulty, perhaps, lies in the novelty of personal health practice in general and health exam- inations in particular, for it has been only a few years since this fleld has opened up to more than experimental exploitation, and many excellent physi- cians are etill unprepared to make a proper health examination or to con- sider personal health problems and ad- vise clients in matters of hygiene in the efficient manner in which they deal with disease. But the day when the doctor mere- Iy laughed at the would-be client who sought health advice is as extinct as the red flannel chest protector, and such a guffaw as the insurance agent pic- tures has the ring of insincerity and malpractice in it. The elevation of the blood pressure mentioned by the correspondent in his letter (and deleted by me because I do { not think such information is good for the health of the laymen) would scarce- ly permit of an argument about the arbitrary limits of high or low pressure.

JDEAR MISS DIX: Our next-door nelghbors won't speak to us. This is the first time anything of this sort has occurred to us, and We are hurt. Evidently they regard us as a specles of Inferior animal, for they pass in and out, never saying “How do you do?' or anything. Doesn't it say some- where in the Bible, “Love thy neighbor as thyself?” It is true that we live in two entirely different worlds, they in an aristrocratic and exclusive circle, while we are just plain, everyday Americans. Tt {s true we go to different churches, and our ancestors came over much later and from an entirely different land from thel But i that any reason for their ungodly, un-American and inhuman practice of complete aloofness and islation? PLEBEIAN. Answer: Certainly not, Plebelan, but just think how are missing than you are and sympathize with them, instead of being hurt by them, There are no people that I am so sorry for as I am for snobs. Think, to begin with, how uncertain any one must be of his own position who is in such terror of losing It that he is afrald to speak to any one that he doesn’t know to be of his own class or the class above him! A king, or a duke, or a lord, or any one whose rank is fixed and sattled, can afford to hobnob with a guttersnipe if he finds the guttersnipe interest- ing. As a matter of fact, he often does have friends of the poorest social degree. It was said that during the war the Prince of Wales chummed with any Tommy who came along. But people who are holding on to soclety hy thelr eyelids have to be particular whom they know, and when you see a man or woman who dares not apeak to any one who is not in the Blue Book or Broadatreet's, they deserve your sympathy, because they have to put on the chains for fear of skidding. “much more they Then think of all the snobs miss of warm human companionship! There is nothing in givirg your neighbor the glassy eye that starts you out on the day with a cheerful, contented, God's-in-his-heaven-all's-well- with-the-world fecling about the heart. It takes the hearty handclasp, the kindly Inquiry, the cheery greeting of those about us to glve us that reaction Why, there's a kick to it that ngthing else has in just knowing that the people next door to us like us, thal they are Interested in us, that they keep an eye on our belongings wien we are gone, and care enough for us to bring our dog back when It strays away ' Not to have known the joy of having real neighbors, the kind that zend you In half a ple when it is especially luscious, who fight with you through that awful night when the baby has the croup and every Lreath seems the last, and who are just as pleased and proud as you are when John graduates at the head of his class: why. that's to have missed one of the best things in lite. The snobs never have any neighbors. They only live near people. They never have any friends. They only have acquaintances. Nobody cares whether they are sick or well, happy or miserable. They are as lonesome in the heart of a big city as they would be alone on a desert {sland, and they are always peevish and discontented, bscause, the way we are all bullt, we have to have somebody to share things with; we have to have somebody to tell things to, and there is nobody whose opinion we value 80 much as those of our nelghbors. So, Plebelan, quit worrying over your snobbish neighbors. for them, and cultivate a sense of humor. only get the right slant on them. . Just be sorry They are a great joke if you will DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: T am a young girl and am considered very pretty, but my trouble is not being able to talk to boys. What can a girl talk about to hold a boy's attention? MARION. Answer: If you want to grip & boy's attention and make him think you are a spellbinder, talk to him about himself. That i{s & subject in which most of us are eternally Interested. and there Is not the slightest chance of | boring us as long as you keep the spotlight focused on our many perfections. Very few boys arc averse to hearing how good-looking they are, and what a killing they make with the girls, and how wonderfully they drive an automobile, and with what grace they dance, and o on, and so forth, ad infinitum. Sometimes you have to temper your flatteries with a little deff reserve and imply things rather than say them outright, but mostly you can put the loud needle on the phonograph and repeat the record as often as you like. As an encore you can ask a boy what he is interested in, what sports, what fraternities he belongs to, whether he is studying a profession or is at work: any topic that is personal will be interesting to him. Sometimes you find a boy who reads, and. of course, you can talk to him about books, provided you also read. A mutual taste in literature is a never- ending source of conversation. But whatever you do, don't talk to & boy about yourself. No man ever really wants to hear about a woman's personal experiences. He doesn’t take the slightest interest in what she thinks, or the places she has been to, or the people she has met. He gets up and beats it when she begins things about the camp she went to last Summer or the trip she took with mother and father. Above all, never tell a boy about vour conquests. Never brag about how many boys cut in on vour dances, and eypeclally about how many boys have been in love with you. It is bad sportsmanship and makes a boy feel that you will be exhibiting his scalp to the next chap who comes along.| And never tell one boy what another boy did for you by way of giving vou a good time. It makes him feel that you think he s cheap, and that is fatal | Don't try to show off before boys, or be highbrow. Just be human, and voung, and frivolous, and easy to get albng with. That's their number, too, {and you will soon be chattering like magples. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: What is wrong with a father and husband who never does anything for his chiliren or wife? My father belongs to clubs, and spends money on himself, and is well-to-do, but he never gives us any money for the house or buvs us clothes. There ara six of us children, three under | 12 years old. 1 am 15 and my sister 30, and we support the family. { Mother is very much neglected. She works hard and gets nothing in return. Is it right for my sister and me to go away and take care of ourselves, 8o we can have friends, or should we endure this longer? INTERESTED READER. i | | Answer: I should say that everything was wrong with such a father, and that you should call in the Domestic Relations Court to deal with his case. If he has money, he can be compeiled to support his family. You and your sister have a right to leave such-a home, but T should think that you would not have the heart to leave vour poor mother. You must bs a great comfort to her. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1924.) ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Delicious Fish Souffle.

That Is the book which he clasps in hiz hands as he looks out upon the world absorbed in deep thought His looss, pointed p his attitude in wh appears about to make a step Suggest the wanderings of his life in exile. American appreciation of the urope has formed a & o ship for the country whose artists, musicians and poets have contributed heauty and happiness the world. This accounts for the statue of Dante having been erected in the National Capital of the United States to mark the six hundredth anniversary of the poet’s death. It is a replica of the one near Columbus Circle, New York City the work of the well known Ettore Ximenes. As a gi American people in 1921 from Chev. Carlo Barrette, the Itallan editor of the Progresso Italo-American, pub- lehed in New York, it was presented in recognition of the friendship be- tween Italy and America nilar line. 1f For many years Dante lived in pov- erty as a political exile banished from the city of Florence, Italy, where he had an intense longing to be. As soon as he died, prominent Floren- tines sought to ease their consclences and to show their regard for one of such unusual literary attainments by erecting a statue to his memory and honor, but fate did not allow them to live and see their plan carried out. That was in 1321, 171 years before America was discovered. The fact that the bronze statue of Dante in Meridian Park is said to re- semble the monument now standing before the old church of Santa Groce Florence, 1§ a truth that gives t sculpture added interest. The flowing student gown which Dante wears is a badge of his superior learning, for he was not only @ student at many educational institutions in Italy, but he journeyed as far away as Paris and on to Oxford University in his search for knowledge. He is crowned, in the statue, with a laurel wreath, after the anclent cus- tom of honoring one who had so tri- umphed in his work that he had out- distanced all others who had applied shoes and 1o AluminumTubed CakePan Special price -Limited time WEAREVER INUM G TRADE MARK Reg.
