Usually it is the sleeves that have not been set in properly. If the material is striped or checked, a very good “check” on the workmanship is to note whether the stripes and checks are straight and well matched. Are the accessories put on carefully? The collar, cuffs and belt—are they straight? Buttons, hooks and eyes and fasteners must be put on in the right place, and securely sewed. The buttonholes should be neatly finished.

The lard acts as a solvent | Wood Alcohol for Wool. | Wood aleohol will take out gra stains and is advised when the ma- terial is not wash goods, or if it has a color that will not stand strenuous {laundering. Apply alcohol with a sponge or rag. The spot should be above an absorbent pad- to prevent the stain from spreading. The color should be absorbed by the pad be- {neath and not merely made less no- ticeable by thinning it, as it spreads | over the material. This is what hap- pens without the use of the pad, which may be of blotting paper, ab- sorbent cotton or old cloth. Use such 2 pad when removing any and all stains, Fresh Fruit Stains. | Fresh fruit stains are other “sea- sonabble spots.” There are few | fruits that do not have a coldring matter in them that leaves a mark {when c ed frult touches fabric. | Some of these are @ifficult to get out | The very best method of removing | fruit stains, and the one that should |be tried immediately after the spot | =vpears, consists of pouring clear boiling water through the spot.

If the stain Is per- sistent and traces still remaln after giving such a treatment, try bleach- ‘l*n: in sunlight. Lay the garment on the grass if possible where the sun's ravs will fall directlty on the spot If the material is not white, though {wash zoods, cover it with several | thicknesses of newspaper, except the | place where the spot is.

The commonest fault in selecting a [ trunk is to sacrifice durability for ap- { pearance. recent report on the trunk industry shows that by far the reatest demand for even wardrobe trunks is in the $35 and $40 grades; nd any one familiar with good lug. > knows that the quality at_that price is not the best bz Buyers who don’t know j | they ‘want in the way of a trunk are apt to be too much impressed with the | big brass decorations on the outside, {and the multiplicity of drawers and { compartments on the instde. First of all, one should declde what the trunk is to be used for. So much | traveling is being done nowadays that the trunk manufacturers have put out |a great variety of types and con. | veniences. It is the shopper’s best | policy to state her needs to the sales- { man, and let him show the best styles he has for the purpose. If you are going overseas, it should probably be a flat steamer trunk. For week-end_trips, possibly the wardrobe trunk, For a long, unbroken journey or for storage, the large open box Is | usually best But the ability to stand up under rough usage is the one virtue that |all types should possess. So, what- | ever the styles selected, be sure to get | & solidly built trunk. See if thé metal | corners are put on to protect the trunk or merely to catch the eye. A well rounded corner, of heavy mate- | vial, is a good sign. Insist on getting a ! bottom that is made of as good mate- {rial as the more conspicuous sides. | Most dealers try to sel la_customer | what they think she wants. Let yours know that you want service, first of all, in a trunk, and you'll probably have his co-operation in Eetting it. If you can invest only a small sum, by all means do not demand a fancy {lining and all fhe latest “fixings” in- side. Select a small trunk, If you don't need size, and vou can still get first quality and good appearance. A word of warning about having your trunk ‘“vulcanized” can’t be amiss. Trunkmakers say that the practice Is bécoming very common dur KVENING STAR, WASHINGiIUN, ! DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX || Will Bubbling Miss Eighteen Be Happy With Mr.| Thirty>~How Can She Keep Her Husband From Admiring Other Women? DEAR MISS DIX: My flance is 12 years older than I. T am 18, Just bubbling éver with vigor and exuberance, ready-to go into ecstasies over a good shot at tennis; to race to the spring with the boys: to devour books with avidity, and with a restlessness of mind and body that can only be quieted by some exquisite piece of music. My flance is an excelient business man, very kind, very considerate, with a heart a mile big. He tries 5o hard to be interested in the things that I love, but a slight physical infirmity prevents the fulfiliment of his earnest desire to race and enthuse through life with me. We are very happy now, but later? Will our marriage be reduced to the status of the average coupl8 who are bored with each other? W1l this little rebellious feeling which crops up &o’often in me be a drawback to a marriage with the best man in the world? L 8. Answer: I might remind you that one fsn't 18 but a very short time, and that one doesn't enthuse and gush, and race through life for very long. Nor does a man’s ability to play tennis cut any particular figure in his desirability as a husband. You will find that matrimony is a strenuous job that slows down the pace of every woman who understands it in the right spirit, and that what vou will then want in a husband is not speed but a good, steady yokemate. The trouble in your case is that you are not prepared to marry anybody vet. You are too young. You haven't had vour playtime. You are still crazy over good times and sports. You are liké a youns colt that wants to ,run free in the pasture and kick up its heels, and is not ready to stick its neck in the halter. This is all perfectly right and perfectly natural, but it shows that you are not yvet ready to settle down and begin the real business df life, which inevitably commences for a woman at the altar. And if you are wise you will give yourself five or six more years of freedom before you marry anybody. Don't marr¥ until the thought of sitting at home by your own fireside is more attractive to you than ‘racing through life.” Don't marry until | home and husband look better to vou than a tennis court and white-flanneled oys. Don’t marry until you find the man you know is the right one, and | about whom you haven’t any doubt It seems to me that you would do both yourself and this fine quiet man a great wrong by marrying him now. Wait until you grow up before vou | marry any one. A pleasure-mad little girl, such as you are, I8 no wife | for any man DOROTHY DIX | o EAR MISS DIX: I have been married over a year to a man whom I love very much. He is very good and generous to me, and has given me a beautiful home, a fine car; evervthing [ wish. But there Is one thing that causes trouble between us. Every timé we are out together and pass by some flappers, he looks at them and we have | a big row over it Now, Miss Dix, please tell me if T am wrong in trying to keep my husband from looking at other women® MRS, B Answer: How are you going to help it, mv dear? Put blinders on him? The world is full of pretty Happers. They have the freedom of the street, and there is ho possible way to keep a man from taking a glance at them, | except to scratch out his eyes Which is a_heroic remedy at which even a jealous wife must balk. So the only thing that you can do is to make vourself just as attractive to look} at as the flappers. And you certainly are not when you are cross and 1 tempered, and get green-eyed and bilious-looking with rage. You take the matter too serfously What's the harm in a man looking at a pretty girl and admiring her? She is just something beautiful that God has put into the world as He did the flowers, and a man can admire her ust as impersonally. . H Tt is & matrow and smallminded woman who thinks that her husband is in love with every good-looking woman he meets, and who considers it a refiection on herself when he praises another woman Inasmuch as your husband married you, you have a right to take it for granted that he prefers and admires You more than any other woman in the | world, and as long as he is good and kind and attentive to you, you may rest assured that he is still in love with you, and has no amorous intentions in regard to other women, no matter how attractive he thinks they are. Let me give you this bit of warning, Mrs. B.: If you want to hold your husband, drive with a loose rein. There isn't a man in the world so poor- spirited that he doesn’t resent being tyrannized over, and browbeaten, and locked up in his home like a prisoner in a cell. Sooner or later that man ves wi sli C""A‘é‘&‘ m‘—(;”s‘; no away so certaln to make a husband cast a roving eve at every other woman as for a wife to try to keep him from looking at any | woman but herseif. DOROTHY DIX. 1 ]DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Is it right for a mother to expéct her sons to 1 1) Gupport her when her heaith is good and she has a little money of her ! own? This woman has two sons. One son has four children. His pay s {emal and his family needs every cent he earns. The other son has no | ehildren, but he and his wife work night and day, and Sundays, trying to | Duild up a garage business. The mother-in-law is disagreeable to live with, !and both of her daughtersinlaw resent her presence in their homes, as she will not even help with the housework. Shouldn't this mother, who is only middle-aged and strong, either work out for herself or else take her money and go inte an institution, father than make her sons’ homes unhappy M. H. Answer: I do not see why any able-bodied woman should expect her children to Support her when they need all the money they earn for their own families. When a man n;‘nrrtes.mhls first duty i8 to his wife and the el rought into the world, lh"d(r;r“cl\:r;..“u‘?he Shother is old, and fecble, and helpless, then the children must care for her at any cost to themselves, but when the mother is still Young enough and strong enough to work, it is a crime for her to become a parasite upon her children. ] Any mother should love her children too well to wish to be a burden pon them, or to wreck the happiness of their homes. And any woman ought to have too much independence to force hersell upon those who do not want { her. DOROTHY DIX. | (Coprright, 1025.) Why He Knew.
