During the war there was a persist. ent effort to launch braid, the feeling being undoubtedly that war conditions would make military fashions popu- Cheerfulness fo BY LYDIA LE B “If you are glum, you are working against your health and your prosper- ity * * * success will depend large- 1y upon the smile that you wear." When I read this recently it made me think of two sorts of homemakers. First, the women who take house- work so seriougly that it becomes a solemn duty, a task without joy, & burden to themselves and in conse- quence something of a load to every one in a house. This attitude may be the result of a grim determination not to permit a speck of dust to mar the perfection of their spotless rooms, coupled with apprehension lest each dish prepared will not turn out as de- licious as it ought. If there are chil- dren these mothers are constantly on the lookout for errors to correct. They let no opportunity slip to impress the voungsters that no dirt can be brought in the house, rubbers must be removed and shoes wiped at the en- trance. The rooms must be kept im- maculate, noise checked and- order must reign. Kindly Leniency. Since an understanding leniency must be one of the characteristics of a successful housewife and mother, such a homemaker as desceibed -is sadly lacking in this element.- She | Every year the Ini nuts _and seeds to store away during the Winter. Buti4his- year-when it came time to gather: the- muts and seeds no one dared fo go near the place where they grew. An old bear had made her den near the spot, and she would not let the Indians get the nuts.

The boom in military fashions fell flat. Now, however, braid has come back into favor with apparently no rea- son. Tollman of Paris, has used it lavishly this spring. But as in other present-day revivals of old modes, it is used in an original manner. Never before has brald been used S0 pro- fusely on a single garment. On one of Tollman's froeks e¢ire black braid almost entirely covers it. On others the entire wide, broad, turn-back cuft and rolling collar are covered with it. The sketch shows a frock of mat- ural kasha trimmed with rose and vio- Jet braid. The kasha frock or wrap lends itself well indeed to braid trim- ming. Georgette, too, is sometimes trimmed with braid. In one instance the coat of an- ensemble costume is made of beige georgette made more substantial by the use of militaty braid upon it. Milliners have not been unaware of the possibilities of braid. In the col- lection of sport clothes shown by Mar- tial et Armand of Paris at the present time there are interesting little sleeve- less jackets made of several tones of military braid woven together, and to go with them are little sports hats made in the same way.

Any physician will tell you that a person in this condition is working agalnst health and her own well being and prosperity. If only she would take the work less defectedly.

She is the woman with & smtle lurking in the corners | of her mouth, and in whose eyes there fs the same happy gleam. You recog- nize that she knows life just as well as the gloomy-faced - housewife,- but that she has met the issues, sad and gay, with the determination to see the best in everything. She is the kind of a woman that a person would go to in trouble. Her advice would be good for she shows in her very coun- tenance that she has “won out.” Her smile is sometimes a bit twisted. There’s a hint of sadness in it, per- haps, but mever a lack of bravery. Her children confide in her, and her husband gets inspiration and comfort from her’cheery nature. Take Life Right. Health, prosperity and success are so dependent upon persons knowing how to take life right. Does it ever occur to' you to think of a glum per- son knowing how to do this? Do you _nbt -assoclate .these threc cherished things in life—health, prosperity and | success—with happiness? Is not a smile one of the forerunners of them? Most assuredly It is evidence of at- talning them. 5 Smiles” Win Success. We know that the housewife who smiles as she tolls does not find the work terribly irksome. She is happy in having the home to care for, happy in the love of her husband and chil- dren. She binds them to her with her :good cheer-and her winning smile. It she were glum and frowning things would go askéw quickly enough.

The rear of the lot rises to form a wide terrace which has been tenced in and lald out in an old- fashioned flower garden, riotous with bloom. It is to enter this enchanted spot that one ascends the little stone step and passes through the white arched gate. The approach to the gate is along a flagstone path with a bex-edged bor- der filled with heliotrope, lavender, phlox and pink scabiosa mingled with lilies and purple gladioli, so that one is_well prepared for the lovely scene which the white gate frames, and en- ters the little kingdom of flowers with a feeling of leaving the work-a-day far behind, indeed.

Having several children " in the houe, I cannot afford to have them al- vays running to me with & chorus of “Mother, where did you put my clean collars?” or “Mother, have I any clean stockings?” I do away with these calls for help by putting each child’s clean clothes neatly folded in a pile after they are laundered, then having each one put his own things away.

When a Girl Marries DorothyDix| “Unless a Girl Is Willing to Forsake Father and Mother and Cleave Unto Her Husband, She Had Better Remain Single.” A YOUNG man said to me not long ago: “I love my wife, and I bélieve =% that she loves me. We havé a pretty home that I try to make & happy one. I do everything in my power to make her contented, and we would have an ideal life together if she could ever be brought to realize that when a woman gets married she begins a new life instead of continuing on with the old one of her girlhood. . “So far, this fact has never dawned on my wife. She still calls her mother’s house ‘home.” She spends half of her time visiting there and the balance of the time sheé has some of her family staying with her. Her chief interest is what her mother and sisters are doing, and she and they keep the mails hot with letters. “Her family make incessant demands upon her, and although there are several unmarried dsughters at home, if there is any sickness, or if any special occasion arises, they write for my wife to come and help nurse papa or mAmina, oF get ready for g party, or entertain Aunt Jane, who is coming on a visit. 5 ‘Apparently it never occurs either to my wife or to" her family that e has assumed any obligations to me, or has any duty to her own home, and when I remonstrate, they consider me highly selfish and tyrannical.”” This young man's case is not exceptional. Many a marriage goes on the rocks because a girl cannot realize that the marriage ceremony literally means what it says about forsaking all others and cleaving -unto the man she marries. She doesn't understand that this means her ather and mother, sisters and brothers as truly as it does strangers. It doesn’t occur to the girl that just as she changed her name when she was married, so she changed her allegiance, and that her first duty is to her husband and not to her family. Her loyglty, her service, her thought and interest belong to the new home which she undertaken to help found, not to fhe old home which she has lett. 1 . . YET many women remain through life more daughter and sister than they ever are wife. They ask mother's advice about everything they do, and it is mother’s opinions that rule the household. What their husbands think has little welght with them in comparison with what mother says, and they can never understand why the man who pays the freight objects to being dictated to by an old woman who has no right whatever to interfere in his affairs. very man likes to think that he is an cracle to his wife, that she looks up to him and admires him, and his vanity gets no harder joit than when he discovers that his wife regards him as a perfect moron compared with her mother, and that she not only accepts mother's viewpoint on every sub- ject, but expects him'to do so, too. A woman’s loyalty to hef husband should likewise extend to her tongue, She has no right to discuss with her mother every little fault and blemish she finds in him or to teli mother her husband's decrets or business plahs. ‘When she does so she is a traitor to the new firm in which she has become & partner. She betrays the confidence that her husband places in her, but it doesn't occur to her that she has done & dishonorable thing when ghe tells things about her husband's past life or his family that he does not wish made public because she has only teld them to mother and the girls. Many women's devotion to their families make them enslave their husbands to them. Many a man is kept poor all his life by the constant drain his wife makes upon his purse for her people. There are old people to be taken care of; teeth that have to be straighténed; adenolds and tonsils that have to come out: pretty girls that need finery; boys that want to go to college. And as long as husband has a cent, wife gives it to her parasitie relatives. s oe e SHE doesn't stop to consider what a cruel thing she is doing in taking advantage of her husband's love for her to rob him. She doesn't remember that, while she may be willing to sacrifice herselt for her family, they are nothing to her husband, and that there is no reason why he should deny himself the pleasures he craves and keep bimself poor for the sake of filling the greedy hands of his wife's relatives. ‘What & man looks for and has a right to expect in a wife is a woman who will help him to succeed, who will push his fortunes, who will put his interests and prosperity above that of any one else on earth. And any woman who offers her husband up as the sacrificlal goat on her family altar does him a grievous wrong. Nor has any woman a right to make of her home a free hotel for her family, vet many wives do this. Mother comes for interminable visits. Sister spends the Winter. Brother grafts his board when he gets a job in the city, and uncles, aunts and cousins are always camped in the best bedroom. This isn't giving husband a square deal, for when a man_ marries a woman he does it because he wants her society and to get her off to himself, and he doesn’t want to be bored by her people nor have them constanily under foot. All of which boils down to this: that when & girl marries she starts a new life, .she take on nmew responsibilities, she feunds 4 new home. 8he belongs to that new life instead of to the old, and unless she is willing to forsake father and mother and cleave unto her husband she had better remain single. > DOROTHY DIX.

Now quijte a stir has been raised in Paris since the proprietors of sev- eral of the Montmartre restaurants have establishéd uniforms of breeches and blouse. To keep the effect from being in the least masculine a be- coming laée cap goes with it. The breeches are rather full, with a col- ored stripe down one side. The fact that a few restaurants provide thé novelty of waitresses in breeches is' not especially significant in itself. -But the question is raised in real earnest, whether or not the fashipn will gpread until the usual costume for the"waitress will be of this sort. *. \ Do you suppose that the time will come when the conventional costume for the waitress will possess knickers or breeches in place of the time-hon- ored skirt? 2 Recently an American restaurant manager decreed that the waitresses in his employ should wear knicke and they, took up “with the idea eagerly.

Now is the time of, violets, and of the loveliest of them all, the Crow’s Foot violet, in bloom on the dry sunny open ridges around the District. Its two upper petals Geep pansy purple, the three lower pale lilac, it is almost startling in {ts beauty. All “violets are supposed to be modest flowers, . The Crow’s Foot may not flaunt -its charm, but somehow it manages, by the lovely contrast in. its colors, to make itself demurely conspicuous. There are other forms of this flower in which the petals are all' pale lilac, or all pure white, or all rose-purple. But none can sur- pass the two-colored’ type. There are at least 20 kinds of vio- lets in the District of Columbia, be- sides about 25 natural hybrids. The native violets have a confusing way of hybridizing. The peculiar thing about hybrids is their sterility; the pollen is~ generally shriveled and uite incapable of fertilizing other lowers. But reproduction is carried on by means of tiny self-fertilizing flowers, which are borne late in the season on creeping stems. Charming as are our many-colored native violets, their odor is faint and merely woodsy. The endearing at- tribute of fragrance attaches to the old-fashioned ' English violet that bléoms in many a Georgetown garden and is sald to have escaped to the wild near Accotink. We have a few native pansies, which we call Johnny-jump-ups, but they would scarcely be recognized as kin to those gay, variegated plants that come to us from the Old World. The annual display of pansies in the grounds of the Department of Agri- culture promises this year to excel all the triumphs of previous seasons.
