Otfler sorts show an_insertion band with the frill attached. Some- times there is a band of lace with matching lace and insertion to form the frill. Embroidered net is also made up in this way. If you intend to take advantage of this jabot by the yayd a good idea is to buy somewhat more than you will need for the jabot. This remainder may be pressed out, if it has been laid in pleats, and used to form cuffs, col- lar edging, pocket or other trimming. Some women who are wearing the new type of perfectly plain tafiored suit solve the problem of the blouse by means of this jabot material.- The suit skirt is put on over a costume slip, and to the costume slip at the right place is attached the jabot ma- terial. The jacket comes next, with the jabot filling in the front opening. Another revival in the way of neck- wear is the fichu, which is one of the things predicted for late Spring and Summer. With a picturesque taffeta frock you may wear a generous swirl of georgette or other light, sheer ma- terial, brought round the shoulders like a fichu. At the front this is caught by means of one of the very large, old-fashioned brooches. SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Dwaft Iris. Before the regal and lofty irises lift their heads in the District of, Colum- bia, there comes to gladden the eye the delightful little race of flowers known as dwarf iris, now in bloom around our city. No majestic charm is theirs, nor any claim to positions of pre-eminence in the garden. But just as some people win their way by an endearing modesty of ganner, so the dwarf irises capture the hearts of many beholders. The District of Columbia has a na- tive dwarf iris that grows in woods and along dry pathways over fields, especially around Bladensburg —the charming little purple dwarf, with a noble gold line upon its sepals. For nearly a month it will draw the eve of the rambler afoot to the lowly station on the ground where, not more than 6 inches high, and often not as much as 2, it grow n patches of bright gold and purple. Anather native dwarf, found more rarely, along the Potomac above Washington, is the crested iris with pale lilac flowers and pure white crests. It is a favorite in Washington gardens. More rare is the closely similar lake iris, brought from it bleak haunts about Lake Superior. The old world, too, has given us its share of dwarf irises. One kind, from Portugal and Morocco, has violet pur- ple flowers with golden crests, and an- other, called “Hung: though hail- ing really from Central Asfa, is su perbly spotted with bluish purple on a white ground. Yellow dwarf ifises have come to us from the mountains of Sicily, from France, and from the region around the Black Sea. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDRE! Shining Glassware.

There is a little space about two inches square where the chin and the neck meet where the skin will begin to pucker if you ere not_careful. This puckering is a sign of age, but one that is easily remedied. If skin is dry rub the chin vigorously with flesh-building cold cream, mas- saging from the chin down the front of the throat, back and forth over the puckered part.

Being dry, the skin will absorb the oils that have been rubbed into it. If the complexion is not naturally dry, an astringent treatment will do away with the puckers. Rub the skin first with a little cleansing cream, wipe off thoroughly, and then rub the chin and throat for five minutes with a piece of ice wrapped in a bit of cheesecloth. You will be surprised to see how quickly the skin smoothes out agdin and the difference it makes in your appearance, for an old-looking in is bound to add years to your ag These are “first” treatments. Often the skin goes like this after an ill ness or even a change from wet to dry weather, or{rom a moist to a dry climate. then,-but the treatment should not be neglected. If the condition has existed for some time, I would suggest that once a week you rub the skin full of warm cocoa butter until you have quite a thick layer on, cover with a piece of oiled silk, then make a chin strap from strips of old muslin, binding them under the chin and over the head, and making the bandage as snug as possible so as to hold in the loose skin, Wear this all night, Dutch Sandwich.

C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, IDoroth yDix Don’t Run to Divorce Court if You've Discovered That Taking a Husband Means “for Worse”—Play Your Cards Carefully. 1925. Says Women Are Bad Losers in Marriage Playing Game ¢¢THE reason why a great many women lose out in matrimony is because they are not good enough ‘“sports,” sald a woman to me the other day. “They are bad losers, and when they find out that the cards are running against them they simply throw down their hands and quit cold. “They haven't the nerve to sit tight and play the game, and wait for their luck to turn, yet nine times out of ten it will if a woman Jjust has the grit to stick on. “That {s why I haven't much patience with the wives who cry out that marriage is a failure the first time their rosy dreams get a good, hard jolt and who rush to the divorce court when they discover that their husbands are just ordinary human males, instead of the romantic heroes of their maliden dreams. “Not that I am especially opposed to divorce. On the contrary, T believe there are times when it is as absolutely a necessity as the surgeon’s knife that cuts away a malignant growth that is poisoning your life. “But I do believe that the great majority of divorces are not only unnecessary, but that they are mistaken, and that they bring the women who get them—for far more women are the petitioners in divorce cases than men—no happiness. “A wife gets peeved with her husband because he is grouchy and hard to get along with, or unsympathetic, or neglectful, or she is justly outraged ‘with him because he is unfaithful to her, and she hastens to the divorce court. “The result is, in most cases, that she finds herself with a decree absolute in one hand and the necessity of supporting herself and her children with the other hand. She has lost her home and her meal ticket, and that settled feeling that a married woman has, even if she hasnt a blue-ribbon prize husband, and it makes her wonder if she hasn't jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, and if even the husband she has left isn't better than no husband at all. “I:ORv you see, very few men are allaround brutes. Most of them are a mixture of good and bad, of Virtues and vices, even as women are. | There are not many men who cannot be handled by a woman who is willing to take the time and trouble to do it tactfully, nor are there many marriages that do not hold consolation prizes for the wife who is wise enough to accept them. “The women who are dissatisfled with their husbands hold their own personal grievance so closely before their eyes that it blots out all the balance of the world from their vision, t if they looked about them they would see that what they have to endure is no harder to stand than what other wives have to bear. “Mrs. A bemoans her fate in being married to @ man who gets drunie occasionally, but who is amiable and good-natured, and tender, and kind, | Mrs. B's husband is a prohibitionist, who is as sober as the town pump, but | he has an intemperate temper and goes into debauches of rage that keep he: in abject terror of saying or doing something that will displease him. “Mrs. C wails that her husband is a philanderer, with an eye out for every pretty girl who crosses his path, but he is one of the women’s men | who remember anniversaries and are as gallant to their wives as they are to | other women. Mrs. D's husband doesn't know there is another petticoat on the line except his wife's, but he has never told her he loved her since their wedding day, and as far as she can see regards her merely as a plece of useful household furniture. “Mrs. E is broken-hearted because her husband neglects her and never takes her out anywhere, but he gives her a fine home and pearls and limousines. Mrs. F's husband is as domestic as the house cat, but he was born too tired to work, and the bill collector is always at the door. e e . ¢ A ND so it goes. There are no perfect hushands any more than there are any perfect wives. Those of us who marry have to swap good qualities { for bad ones, and bad ones for good ones, and I believe that the wife who has the courage and endurance to do this will nearly always win out in the end. At the bottom of every man's heart is some fondness for the woman he married. She had some peculiar appeal to him beyond that of the balance of her sex, else he never would have picked her ofit for a wife. and so if a woman is only willing to wait and keep her home fire burning her hus band is pretty sure to come back to it in the end. 1 ““Whether he is worth waiting for is for her to decide. Sometimes he is. | Sometimes he isn't. That's her problem. So is it whether she cares enough about him to want him to come back or whether she is glad to be rid of her husband at any price. “My contention merely is that the woman who loves her husband is foolish to give him up, even when he has grave faults. She will be happier | with him than without him, and ninety-nine times out of a hundred she can save her marriage from going into the discard by just sitting tight in the game and playing her cards clzzre{ul = DOROTHY DIX. i opy 25 fork break the flesh into small pleces.
