DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX The Husband Who Is Too Cowardly to Make a Will—The, Wife Whose Cruel Husband Calls Her “Dear” Instead of “Mary.” EAR DOROTHY DIX: Why is it that some of the most devoted husbands with the most deserving wives cannot he induced to take out an insurance policy or make a will? My husband and I are everything to each other, und during the dozen years that we have been married we have worked shoulder to shoulder. 1 have sweated every penny, and as the result we have a nice home on which we are paying, and some good stocks, which are, of course, in his name. But I have never been able to induce him to make a will, and 8o If he died I would only have my widow's portion. I know my husband wants me to have what he has, and what I have helped to make Just as much as he, but he just can’t bring himself to make a will. What makes a man treat the woman he loves this way? MRS. THRIFTY. 1t fsn't lack of affection for you that keeps your husband from making his will, M Thrifty. It is because he is & coward who lacks the courage to face the fuct that he must one day dic. He cannot bring himself to visualize his own end, as he {s bound to do when he makes a will. Many men have this same feeling, and it keeps them from making their wills and taking out any life Insurance. They stultify themselves by 1 evade the common fate of mankind by refusing to Answer: in disorder, and working a grievous wrong to their wives aud children. 1t is every man's bounden duty to protect his wife by taking out as much insurunce us he can afford to carry. and by making a will that will tuke into consideration his wife's personality. In w case such as yours, where the wife is a good business woman and knows how to handle money, it is safe to give her the money outright, but where the wife is a woman who knows nothing of financial matters. and who s as likely as not to sign a check “Yours affectionately,”” ihe husband should leave her inheritance safely tied up In a good trust company. Such women are the predestined victims of every sharper in their vicinity. All the grafting ne'er-do-wells In their family use their tle of blood and affection to borrow money from them. FPious gentlemen who come to pray with them in their affiction remain to prey on them. Glib talking bond salesmen induce them to sell gilt-edge securities and invest In wildcat schemes that promise 50 per cent, and pay nothing And the black sheep children who are always in trouble, whom mother is always paying out of their scrapes, eat up the estate, und the good children not only get nothing, but have to take care of mother in the end. All of these things a man should take into consideration in making his will. And if he has money to leave to his daughters, he shéuld tie it up go £ood and fust for them thut they cannot give it to their husbands. Thereby will he save them not only their fortune, but their domestic peace as well. For no wonan can refuse to give her husband her money and live in peace with him, but he can't argue with papa’s will Certainl won't do it o advice to yvou, Mis, Thr to the house some even instrument then and th courage facked up & bit.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects do | not denote any influences favorable | to a Sunday. They indicate nervous-| ness, restlessness, and an urge to quarrel. and become censorfous. These are most annoying conditions on day when, in the majority of {nstances, most of the time is spent in the home, or amidst the famlily circle. The| faithful observances of the customs; peculiar to the day may ameliorate! the state of affairs, but the chief re.| source lies in your own ability to put vour foot down firmly and refuse to be stampeded by external agencles. Children born tomorrow will enjoy, | say the slgns, fairly good health dur-| ing infancy. They will, in all prob- abllity, suffer from one or more ser- fous allments in their ‘“‘teens, with the apnroach of manhood and womanhood, will find themselves bealthy and vigorous. In character and disposition, they will be unselfish, although full of pranks. They will be erratic. without being viclous. They will be kind and thoughtful, without being pusillanimous. They will have| pleasing personalities, and great latent | streneth of character. If tomorrow is your birthday, you, according to the astrological condi- | tions, are assured of success in any| undertaking that you serlously at- tempt. You have great perseverance | and, never superficial, always go tol the bottom of things. You do mot | graps problems quickly, but when you | ‘do understand them, there is a; | thoroughness about your knowledge { that baffles all argument, and silences i all doubter: You have remarkable powers of | concentration, and apply yourself, | | without any economizing of éfforts, ! to the matter in hand. Only after: mastering all detalls do you allow ' yourself any relaxation. | You are very fair-minded, and have | {a judicial point of view. You are | never satisfied that one side'is right, | no matter how plausible it may ap. pear, until you have heard the other side. Your nature is extremely affection- ate, and you have found that true happiness is only to be found in true love—the love of perfect trust, abso- lute confidence and never-failing hope. Well known persons born on that date are: Osslan B. Hart, jurist and governor; Henry M.' Baird, author and educator; John A. Mitchell, editor and author; Arthur B. Frost, artist and illustrator; (Thomas) Alexander Harrison, artist; Benjamin Franklin, statesman and scientist. (Convright, 1926.) P "EATURES Making the Most of Your Looks BY DOROT! 'HY STOTE.

THE JUMPER COSTUME IS OF WHITE SILK JERSEY WITH STRIPED BORDER AND SCARF COLLAR. above any sort of reproach, but the jumper as it is worn, drawn very close about the lower edge, giving what we shall consider as we look back a very ugly line.

These may be some of the questions that women will ask a decade hence when they look back at | photographs taken of themselves | dressed in smart sport clothes. At French resorts last Summer you may have observed this tendency to draw the jumper very tight about the lower edge, or, rather, to wear jumj ers that fitted snugly below the hips 1t you stayed at home, you may have | noticed this trick in photographs showing groups of fashionable women | at these resorts. | So when you make your selection | of jumpers for your Southern ward robe this Winter—assuming, of course, that vou are one of the thousands who migrate after New Year—don't be surprised if the jumper fits quite close below the hips. It is meant to do that—fashionable women have de | manded it—and whether you like it o {pot you will not possess quite the | smart aspect unless your jumper fits {in the same way. | The sketch, I think, gives an ad | mirable and unexaggerated idea of | this little trick. The jumper is of | white silk jersey with a striped bor | der and scarf collar. It is worn with a pleated white jersey silk skirt. | White, T belleve, will be even more | in favor this year than ever, €o if you {are in doubt as to the colors to select | for your Southern wardrobe select a great deal of white—pure white or cream white or oyster white—with white hats and white gloves to go with them.
