WOM Coats From Suits BY LYDIA LE B. As the cooler months approach, it is natural Yo take stock of our wardrobe, if already it has not been done. Some- times it is the case that clothes which @re not actually worn out cease to fill the need we feel. Perhaps we have a duplicate of one kind of garment, and @ distinct lack of something else. In case some of vou have suits i AN'S PAGE. That Do Not Suit ARON WALKER. edge of sewing, and will be fun to work out. A young lady who needed a coat had a ‘sult of which she was tired. Al though it was not worn out, she had used {t two seasons, and it was known ~ ~nst of her friends. It happened that the suit coat had the lines that 1 temain fashionable in « longer ent. She gave it the necessary length by putting the skirt on the bot- tom. Instead of having it a straight line where the skirt joined, she had it a broken one. This was done by set. ting the skirt up higher than the edge and allowing the pockets to come over | it on the sides. When finished you would have thought the whole plan intentional from the start, so well de- s it look. Next came the Lining. Here is a way to deal with the lin. ing and make that also look “inten- tional.” It is a way which considers economy. In many of the best made wraps the lining has a piece of con- trasting goods Inserted ut about the hip line. Sometimes there are two or even three of these inserted pieces, | which SMART W MADE ¥ ARE ABOUT TO DISC. vhich you would frto Winter coats one way in which it lus been done with It may be the very netamorphosis that you would like to perform.

Soon after that lesson father entars the living room in search of a quiet corner in which to rest and read his paper. Son has spread his paper and paste and brushes and colors about in preparation for tomorrow's lesson. The sight of the confusion bothers father und he breaks out impatiently: “Take your stuff out of here. I should think you might find some other place to mess in. Take that stuff out of here. Now, father thought that he had given his son a lesson in good man- ners when he made that little speech. And he never dreamed that he had given him a powerful lesson when he ordered him out of the room with his belongings. When he discovers one day that his son is discourteous to- ward some one he considers his sub- ordinate, father will not think himself t to blame. He will say, “T s taught you to be polite derate. What makes you bully people? You won't get any- where with it. People won't do any- thing for you. They 'won't work with vou; they won't play with you.

BY JEAN NEWTON. “Apples of Sodom."” We all know of Sodom as one of the four cities of antiquity which, accord- ing to the Hible, were destroved be. cause of their wickedness. And the expression “Apples of Sodom” is fa- milfar in writing and in rhetorical speech to signify something that is filled with disappointment and bitter- ness. ‘The refecence is to the “Apple of Sodom™ or “Dead Sea Apple,” which, according to anclent writers, grew near the Dead Sea and was described as beautiful to the eye, but when tasted, filling the mouth with ashes. ‘Antiquarians and students of an. clent literature regarding “apple” as figurative and making an effort to track this to its source, have offered the explanation that the “Apple of Sodom"” was a glossy red gall growing on dwarf oaks, beautiful and rich in appearance, but filled with an in- tensely bitter substance.

(., TUESDAY, O DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Advice to Young Widow About Marrying Meal Ticket—How Can Son Be Saved From “Husband Snatchers?” EAR MISS DIX: At 23 I find myself a widow, with a baby to support. My husband left no money, and I loathe Iving off the charity of relatives. I am considered pretty and have a high school education, but T have never had any experience in the business world, and I see no way out of my trouble but marrying again. I have a chance to marry a bachelor of 50, who could support me comfortably, but I have for him only a mild friendship. Do you think it would be wrong or foolish for me to marry this man if I try to do my duty by him? TESS, Answer: It seems to me, my dear, that the woman who sells herself for @ meal ticket makes a sorry bargain. She earns her bread and butter even harder than does her sister of the strect, because she is bound by law to the man who feeds her, and she cannot leave him when she grows tired of hinr and sick of her job. ‘The only thing that makes marriage endurable to a woman is love. Yor the average wife it is full of hardships, full of labor, full of sacrifices, and it 1s only love that can take the bitterness out of these and make matrimony & pleasant journey. It is 8o sweet to forgive the little faults and peculiarities of the man you love, and so hard to put up with the ways of the man you are indifferént to. It is 80 sweet to walit on the man you love, and so_exasperating to have to pick up after the man for whom you care nothing. Everything the man you don't love does gets on your nerves, and nothing the man you love does offends you. Marriuge is so short to the mated, and it lasts such a dreary eternity to the mismated. Therefore, nothing in the world but love makes marrfage pay. Certainly, if you are looking for & soft snap, with no work in it, marriage 18 no career for you to take up. No other women in the world work so hard, or such long hours, or get o little pay in dollars and cents as the wife does. There are no eight-hour days for her, no Sundays and holidays for her, and at the end of the week there s no pay envelope. Any young woman of 28, with a good body and a good mind, should be ashamed even of thinking of marrying just to be supported. She should hav enough independence and courage to roll up her sleeves and go to work and make an honest ltving for herself. 8o my advice to you, Tess, is to get some of your relatives to take care of your child for you, while you take a course in salesmanship, or Iibrary | work, or millinery, or dressmaking, or whatever occupation appeals to you, d then put your heart, and your back, and your head into your work and | carn your own and your child’s Iving. | That will leave you free, when the right man does come along, o mary a husband whom you barely tolerate, . . 1 an poor widow with one son. to educate my boy, who is now 22 ars more. him DOROTHY DI EAR MISS DIX: sacrifice I have made many veurs old, and I need his | He is a good son and would gladly repay ull | but he is simply pursued by some girls who live | putting him under obligations that he has to | cannot g0 outside of the door without their pouncing ing him off to some place of amusement.

What should I do? TANGLE! Answer: Probably there isn't & woman in the world who has never told a lle about her age. A woman may be Truthful Jane about every other subject in the world, but when it comes to her birthdays she will let go all hold on veracity und cut them as much as the traffic will bear.
