WOMAN'S PAGE. : | ————————————————————————— i Small Yoke in Latest Smart Frocks BY MARY MARSHALL. For many vears past the tradition of the yoke has b, carried on en- tirely in the wardrobes of babies, and even in these little clothes it was sften neglected. You would have had to look very far and wide before finding a woman's or young girl's frock with a yoke. But now you inate the slovenly shoulder line. It serves to hold the frock in place and to give a good line to neck and shoulder. The frock that starts off with a rather clorely fitted yoke and fullness nunder the arms much more sparingly used demands, of course, much mere close moulding all down the body. The sketch shows an example of the new yvoke. There is nothing “period-y" about it. There is ny attempt to suggest the quaint formality of the yoke that was worn in tha days of Empress BEugenie. This is a°yoke tbat as far as in- spiration goes s entirely of the moment. There simply was need for some device to eliminate the slop- piness around the shoulders, neck and arm holes of which we were all becoming a little weary, and the clever dressmakers seem as of simultaneous accord to have seized upon the yoke as the best device. The frock shown is of pink chiffon with quantities of ruffles of the material. These form four godets-to give an interesting flare to the skirt Thet also form the little yoke with the tiny sleeve cap that is distinctly smart at the moment. Jenny is making yokes of a sort all her own, adding a white silk alpaca yoke to a dark blue rep frock and a white georgette yoke and collar interesting to a frock of dark brown marocain.

" He would say: ‘Don’t I toil like a slave to support my family? Do I ever deny them anything that is in my power to give them? Hayen't I spent thousands of dollars on their education? Haven't they a fine house to live in, and fine clothes to wear, and fine automobiles to ride in? Dont they g0 off traveling and to cool spots in the Summer, while I sweat in an office making the money for them to take life easy? Me not a good father! What more can a man do? Where do you get that bad-father stuff?" “And every word that he says is true.*He is a_model father to his chil- dren, according to his lights, which are all financial lights. He adores his children, but he says it with a check book, and he honestly and truly thinks that he has done his full duty to his boys and girls by giving them the things that money buys. ", . “But he has been so busy giving them things that he has never had time to give them himself. He has never even taken an hour off to get acquainted world that are greater strangers to him than his own boys and girls! They know each other so little, and have so little in common, that they haven't a word to say to each other. When they are left alone together they are embar- rassed to death, and there are great chunks of solid silence between them that you could cut with a knife. §6(QF course, my poor, dear husband is riding for a fall. He is preparing for himself & bitter disappointment, becduse he believes that when the boys are grown-up men a miracle will happen, and that he and they will be chummy, and that they will repay all the sacrifices he has made for them by being devoted to him, and going into the big business he has built up for with them. Why, there aren't any flappers and jellybeans anywhere in the | them, and that they will just be two souls with but a single thought about the factory and everything else. And he thinks it Is going to be sweet to have a loving young daughter to nestle against his shoulder and confide all of her love affairs to him. “But nothing of the kind is going to happen. You can't wait to get ac- quainted with the children until they are grown. You have to meet them in the cradle. You can't force their confidence. You have to win it, and if a man is going to be Friend Father, he has to establish that relationship in the days when a little tot holds on to his finger and has long yellow curl not when he is a varnish-haired college man who thinks he knows every thing on earth. “My husband has always left the entire management of the children to me. I have had to bring them up single-handed. I} have done the best I knew how, but the job is too big for me, especially now, when they have reached the hobbledehoy stage when they need a figmer and stronger hgnd than mine on the reins and more knowledge of life th8n 1 possess as a guide. “You know, there comes a time in the life of every boy when he has a contempt for women, even his mother, no matter how much he loves her. He feels that he is a man and he patronizes her and derides her opinions. 1 don’t blame the boys. After all, most women's lives are shut in. We can only guess at the dangers they will have to meet. “ e e GRUT their fathers know and the boys know t along the road they are starting out to travel. Father knows what drink will do to a man. Father can show them the wrecks that loose living makes. Father can tell them how to avold getting into the snares set by the painted women. Father can teach them how to use money wisely and well. Father could help a boy find out what is good for him and @ him 10 vital years of his life that he wastes floundering around trying 2o find himself. “And fathers could do far more than mothers to prevent their daughters making unfortunate marriages, because a man can find out things about another man that no woman can find out. And it's because father is asleep at the switch that so many girls blunder into marrying rakes and drunkards who break their hearts, “Why, if my husband were going to hire a new clerk he would look up his record and find out everything about his morals, his ability, what sort of family he came from and his previous records and habits, But some day he will turn over the daughter, who is the very core of his heatr, to a stranger to whom he will have to be introduced. *“My husband is a very successful man, noted for his far-sightedness and for being able to pick men, but it-has never oceurred to him to use his talents in helpiug his girls select good husbands.

He thinks he has done his full duty by his children when he makes money for them. And it's because there are so many of these poor, fatherless, mother-reared children that we have our bumper crop of hoodium. “I tell you, the real need of our country today is for fathers, real fathers who will chum with their child ive them companionship instead of high-powered cars and trips to DOROTHY DIX.

No matter how dry the skin is from extreme heat or cold, or how grimed from the soot and dirt of the streets, or how chapped from wind and dust when driving, a generous amount of cleans- ing cream rubbed over the face and neck and then washed off with hot water and soap, will make one feel like a new person. The tired lines go, the dull eves brighten, the skin blooms again, and is soft to touch, and smooth and fresh in appearance.

If you want something a little nourishing substitute either olive oil or almond oil for half the mineral oil—2% ounces of each, that is. If you want something very nourishing for wrin- kles or bad chapping use olive oil or almond oil instead of the mineral. This is really two formulas in one— you haye a cleardser or a flesh build- ing cream, just as you please. You make them the same way. melting the waxes in the oils until just blended, then adding the warmed rosewater and beating until ready to cool off. Then pour quickly into jars to hard- en.

How surprised she would have been had she turned around, for there was her lamb trotting along right in back of her. Into the schoolhouse ran Mary. It was almost time for the last bell to ring. She hurried into the cloak- room and took off her coat. Right after her went the lamb, but still she didn’t see him, ~ Color Mary's school coat brown with light tan collar and cuffs.

Peel, core and cut 10 large apples into slices. Put them in a saucepan with three tablespoonfuls of water, elght tablespoonfuls of sugar and the grated rind of haif a lemon. Boil all together until quite tender. Then Tub the apples through a sieve and add more sugar if liked. Place at the bottom of a dish in a thick layer. Stir together one cupful of milk and two beaten eggs over the fire until thick, but it must not boil. When thick, take from the fire, let cool a little, add one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, then pour it over the apples ‘Whip up some cream, enough to make a cupful, adding to it a little sugar and lemon extract.

For a finger-marked plano or other highly polished surface of furniture, try cold water and chamols skin. Have two skins, both very soft and plia- ble. Dip one in cold water, wring it very dry and then wipe off the polished surface; then polish with the dry skin. Never apply coal oil or any pat- ented polish the ingredients of which you do not know. One woman who used coal oil on cleaning days soon found that the entire surface of her pi- ano was marked by tiny cracks. To keep steel bright dip a plece of rag in a little kero- sene, then in fine ashes, and rub the steel briskly for a few minutes. Then polish with a clean, dry cloth and dry fine ashes, and you will be delight- ed with the result. To bleach white goods that have become yellow, dip them in strong blue water after wash- ing, let them become very blue, and then hang out to dry. They will be thoroughly bleached.

Sométimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated or- ganic disorder that requires pro- fessional advice. But usually— and fortunately—halitosis is only a local condition that yields to the regular use of Listerine as 2 !noulll wash and gargle.
