In the first place, what are “cool” clothes? It is usually stated that gar- ments which allow for the rapid evap- oration of the perspiration and the removal of the heat from the body by convection are cool in Summer. The comfort of a garment in_hot weather depends, we are often told, on the conductive power of the fiber from which it is woven. And we are familiar with the fact that wool is the poorest conductor of heat and there- fore the “warmest” thing we could ‘wear. Silk ranks next and cotton next Linen terfal weather. But it is now known that the cool properties of a fabr more on the weave itself than on the nature of the fiber. Of course, the reason for considering the original make-up of the fibers at all is only to find whether their composition and predilections are such that they wil mat closely together or remain apart, and whether they will inclose and hold air in their meshes. After all, vou know that if you fluff up cotton into “wooly” cloth like canton flannel it is almost &s warm as wool or fur . Laboratory tests recently made have shown that there is very little differ- ence in the actual amount of heat that passes off through the different fabrics or at the rate in heat passes, provided they woven alike In the tropics kinds of weave which w 1ke The first a1 1se of 2 new fancy idea of reviv ittle word reant pocket—: pocket just tle is_distinctly the coolest and most useful in ma- warm are all specia for the WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS.

Then event- the name was applied to the | pendant of ribbon and other ornament attached to the watch, which facili- tated taking the watch from the| vocket, added a decorative note to the costume and announced to the world that the one who wore the fob was also sufficiently important and wealthy {to own a watch. To be sure there |were some trailers of fashion, who wore the fob—without the watch—a villainous deception, that. . But when a few months ago fobs were revived in woman's fashion they very, very seldom had any connection with watches. They were faced with |pins to hold them in position at the opening of a smart little tallored | pocket—real or simulated. Sometimes |they were sewed into position by tailor |or “dressmaker. Then women wore them on their hats. That seemed per- fectly consistent. Anything is legiti- mate trimming for a hat nowadays | providing it looks right. That is why |there are hats trimmed with brightly |printed handkerchiefs stuck into tiny |slit pockets on the crowns. | But to go on with the progress of |the fob. Tts present place of honor| |is on the side of a woman’s bodice attached there as women attached bar |pins some time ago, only always to |one side. It has absolutely nothing to |do with watches or pockets. It is |merely ornamental. | Usually there is a bit of ribbon about [the fob somewhere, connecting the narrow bar at the top with the orna- |mental pendant. One of these new | ornaments recently observed on the bodice of a well.dressed woman con- |sisted of a bar of pearls and emeralds then a bit of green ribbon attached to strands of pearls and emeralds from |which hung a large oval emerald. This you may see in the sketch beside |the fob consisting of a length of black ribbon from which hangs a lovely red stone. The shops offer attractive examples of these nxew bodice fobs, and often |all that is needed to give rare distinc- tion to very simple frock is one of |these decorative fobs. In fact, som |times the French dressmakers include |some such ornamental fob as part of |the essential decoration of a frock. | 1t you are fortunate enough to pos |sess ‘any old-time fobs anfong your family heirlooms, now is the time to bring them to the light, have them remounted and then wear them with | one of your new Autumn fr (Copsright. 1925.)

In general, the darker the color of the clothing the more heat is absorbed, and vice vers the lighter the color the less heat bsorbed The style of the garment undoubt |edly affects. to a large degree, its comfort. To be cool, garments should be light, loose, and unrestricting. 1In the main, they should be suspended from the shoulders. As far as pos. sible eliminate stiff materials and un- | necessary layers. During the Summer vacations, | when the children as well as most people in general are out in the sun- light a great deal, a special effort should be made to have the clothing as light as possible, both in weight and color. The direct rays of sun- light, which are most valugble to health, have their dangers also, and | dequate protection must be provided against its onslaughts. Prolonged | and intense exposure may cause sun- stroke and prostration, and even if nothing so severe as that, there are | many persons to whom a bad sunburn is as painful and dangerous as a burn| | from fire. A tan should be acquired | by careful and gradual ex re to | the sunlight before the main benefits of the undiluted sunlight are sought. In the tropics special helmets are worn for this purpose, but even in the temperate zones proper protec- tion for the head is necessary, and the wise mother will see to it that at | the seashore and at the worst hours | of the vacation day the children are provided with, and more important vet, actually wear wide, ventilated | and easy-fitting hats to insure this protection. | ; s SUB ROSA Weekly Letter. dapest, we had ok we' alimont ).

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX How Can She Change Indifference Into Love? Why Married Women Must Have Amusement, Even if They Have to Go Out Alone. EAR DOROTHY DIX a fine position at a remunerative salar: m utterly miserable because 1 am desperately in love with a man <who, I | am afraid, does not reciprocate my affection. This young man is a son of friends of ours, and comes to our house sometimes with his mother, who has told me many times that she would be the happiest woman on earth if her son and I were married. But he never comes alone. His mother invites me to come to their house, but 1 don't go because I'am fraid that I would tell him how much I love him. When I am with him, T am afrald to look at him. I can't play a sentimental song on the piano because I can’t control my tears. I just shiver and shake. What can I do to win this young man? MARIE K.

Ever since the world began people have been seeking some love potion that would work on that stubborn and unruly member, the human heart, but nobody has ever found one yet Nobody knows why we love. No_hud)' knows why we cease to love. Nobory knows how to turn lukewarm liking into burning, sizzling love. It is all a mystery past comprehension. Your case seems pretty hopeless to me.

He is fond of yvou in a general and casual He admires your good points, and enjoys your soclety, just as he does But you are not a figure of romance to him. You do not pique v and interest, because he knows you too well. You have observed that girls are far more apt to marry strangers than they are to marry their neighbors, and that when a new girl comes to town the boys flock around her, even if she isn't half as pretty and attractive as the home girl. It is because there is something alluring. something our sense of adventure in those of whom we know little. They are an un discovered country, while the boys and girls we went to school with are as famillar and unattractive to us as Main street, that we know too well to appreciate. Also a girl can have no worse advocate than a man's mother. A little} opposition is a good thing in a love affair. It fans the flame. It makes a man a girl's partisan for his mother to knock her, while the knowledge that mother has selected Mary Jane for a wife for him puts his back up, and makes him say he will be jiggered if he will let anybody pick out his wife for him that appeals to Certainly you will not heip your case by enacting the role of the love. lorn damsel before the young man, vet by telling him of your love When a woman throws herself at a man’s head he is very apt to dodge her. My advice to you would be to keep away from the young man, or set up a rival. If he thinks you are going to marry some one else, he may come to a realization of his real feelings toward you. But I doubt if indifferent liking ever changes into love DOROTHY DIX. P EAR MISS DIX: Don't you think it is as important for a husband to be his wife's playmate as for her to be his? Of course, a woman should be a good housewife and mother, but if she is an educated, well-born woman accustomed to society in her girlhood, her soul craves something more than just the four walls of her home, no matter if it is an attractive home. If her husband refuses to take her anywhere, is it right for her with other alone? If he refuses to go into society—what then PERPLEXED WIFE. to go Answer: I think that the man who refuses to play with his wife makes just as big a mistake as does the woman who refuses to play with her hus band, and that it is just as sure to end in disaster for them both. I think that a woman needs some recreation and amusement outside of the home even more than a man does, because her work is more monotonous than his and while his daily grind brings him in contact with others, hers is done alone. Being alone, and having too little to think about except themselves, makes women peevish and morbid. Half of the discontented, fretful, complaining women in the world could be cured by being taken to the movies, or the theater once or ‘twice a week and having an occasional dinner at a restaurant. If men had any intelligence whatever where women are concerned, they would take the trouble to amuse their wives a little, just because it would make things so much pleasanter for them at home. If, however, a man is too selfish to take his wife out anywhere, I think she has a perfect right to go without him. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and she is privileged to get some pleasure and happiness and amusement out of life if her husband fails in his duty to her in this respect If she has no relaxation, no amusement, she will sink into being a dull drudge, and she should keep herself from deteriorating into this if she ssibly can. Naturally, I mean that a woman should take her relaxation in modera She should not neglect her home or her family. She should not be a bridge fiend who spends every afternoon playing cards while her children run the streets, nor should she drag her husband out every night to a party But there is a happy medium betwyen going all the time and never going at all. As for giving up society because her husband doesn't like to go out, that is a great mistake, because in a little while the children will be grown, and then, unless their mother has kept a place for them, they will be at a great disadvantage. DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX: I am the wife of a very suspicious man. I have never done anything in the slightest degree wrong, but he seems to think that sooner or later I will be untrue to him. and he says all women are tricky Is there any suggestion you can offer that will help him to get over that way of thinking? MOONYEE! Answer: It is husbands like yours that make women tricky. They put a premium on deceit, because there is a very natural human feeling that if we are going to get the blame we had as well have the game There can be no real happiness in marriage where there is not trust, because love is bound to be built on faith. You can care little for a person whom you suspect of betraying vou every time your back is turned Perhaps you can make your husband see what an insult his suspicions of you are, and how they poison all your life together. but I doubt it, because suspicion is born in a narrow and perverted soul. The generous-minded are never suspicious. = e do DOROTHY DIX opyrigh 5 _— Savory Lima Beans. | Good Doughnuts. Shell enough young lima beans to| One cupful of sugar, five tablespoon- give one pint.
