WOMAN’S PAGE Revival of Very Feminine Fashions BY MARY ‘Word is going the round that_fash- {fons are to be, shall be, must be, more feminine. Supposedly women are get- ting tired of frocks of severe, man- nish simplicity. Men—we are told— like to see women dressed in daint. feminine things. The dressmakers seem to feel that it would be to their advantage to revive very feminine fashions—so they have racked their PLEATED RUFFLES COVER THE ENTIRE SKIRT OF THIS LITTLE FROCK OF RED CREPE DE CHINE, TRIMMED WITH GOLD EMBROIDERY ON COLLAR AND CUFFS. brains to recall all the frilly, fussy feminine fashions they could think of and they have scattered these things generously over the new frocks they have been making. But take all this talk about a re- vival of feminine fashions only for what it is wortll. Don't imagine that you will see any marked change in the new clothes for Spring. There are women who simply cannot be weaned away from the simple, easy- to-wear clothes they have become ac- customed to. On the other hand, if you are one of the women who really yearn to wear ruffles and frills, flounces and furbelows—then here’s your chance. ‘The ruffie is a trimming device that has been much neglected of late. All ‘women used to wear ruffles as a mat- ter of course—ruffies on their petti- coats, ruffles or their nightgowns, ruffies on their negligées, sleeves ruffies and neck ruffles. Some of these ARSHALI cuff sets. Whatever you may think of ruffies as such you will have to admit that these dainty ruffles near the neck and wris re very becoming. Jenny among French dressmakers seems to see great possibllities for the ruffie—and she manages to make use of it without losing that simplicity of design for which her gowns are noted. She has recently been making little taffeta frocks with skirts entirely cov- ered with inch-wide pleated ruffles. Some of the dréssmakers have been showing little rufes of chiffon. Sometimes they are simply gathered or shirred and sometimes the ruffiing is produced by tiny pin tucke extend- ing part way down the ruffle. \gzn the ruffle is pleated, as in the k shown in the sketch, the -pleating is so handled that it act y assumes | the outline of a ruffe—flaring out somewhat and not lying flat, as is the case when the pleating assumes the form of a tier.

Holidays come right in the middle of ‘weeks, teachers’ meefings cfit school days short, somebody comes to make & speech about something clgse to his heart and far removed from the in- terests of the school and its children; the circus comes; the dentist insists upon his appointment; the music teacher cannot take him any other day or hour, Tuesday at 10 o'clock is the very best he can do; measles break out in the family; grandmother comes on a visit, it may be her last, you know, and the children must srl!mi as much time with her as pos- sible; regent’s exams come along; the school play must be performed and the rehearsals must be held; the Red Cross man comes In, and,, of course, the children must hear him: the lady from the animal league is in the office and must speak to the children today, her schedule is very full; the police captain’s man wants to see and speak to every class about crossing the streets and making bonfires; collec- tions of colthes for,the destitute chil- dren of the hurricane district are in order.

For all of them I feel the great- est pity—the humiliation and disap- pointment and sometimes real heart- break of losing a sweetheart is mot a funny business. It behooves the lucky rest of us who haven't had the painful experi- ence of being jilted to watch out lest our turn come next. We must be careful, above all, about little things—things that really sound too trival to he worth talking about, but which often break up romances of years' standing. Once let some trick of yours get on the nerves of the boy friend and no matter how deep his love his ir- ritation will lead him into thinking affection dead forever. He'll actually sometimes break off an engagement simply through annoyance at constant repetition of a detestable phrase or action. Peggy's Roy was a moody, irritable youth, with fairly bad manners and an uncertain temper—also with a chronic headache which made him actually miserable and did much to account for his bad nature. v knew about those headaches. She had come to dread them and fear them. And when Roy turned up of an eve- ning in one of his dreary, uncem- municative moods, Peggy would ask him solicitous!, What's the matter, dear? Don't you feel well?"" Perfectly natural query, perfectly natural impulse in back of it—the de- sire to know whether he was bad-tem- pered because of some physical trou ble or because he was annoyed at her. Roy's side of the story, however, ‘was very different. He felt that Peggy ‘was deliberately nagging at him, that her solicitous inquiry was intended as a reproach. He didn’t suppos the was actually state of his health. He knew that she was really saying to herself all the time, “Oh, Lord, Roy in one of his moods again. He can have headaches as often as this. Why doesn't he snap out of whatever's ail- ing him?" He fell into the habit of answering her sullenly, “No, 1 haven't a head- ache. Am I acting as disagreeable as all that? Well, then, I'd better go home."” And scenes began to occur as a re- sult of this harmless question of Peggy's. ‘Which is to remind you all that tact 1s needed with the moody boy friend. Constant inquiries about the state of his health will begin to sound like accusations. The question *“What's the matter?” will simply come to mean to him a re- proach, a reminder that he's behaving badly and ought to get over it. Far better to refrain from solicitous and tender questions than to drive your man mad with irritation at what he coneiders nagging. There are times when the friendly question sounds like a cross-examina- tion to sensitive ears. Mimi _will be giad to answer any in- rected r. provided a mped. iidreaecd envelope i incioeed.

I congratulated him, and then I said: “Be good to her.” “Be godd to her?” he echoed incredulously. “Why, I would die to save “Oh,” 1 smiled, “I didn't expéet that you would beat her or drag her around by the hair of her head or insult or abuse her.

GRJAVE vou ever thought, my boy, that there is no more pathetic figure than that of the little bride who is brought from the country or a small town to live in a big city, where her husband has no soclal connections and knows nBbody except the men with whom he works? In the city, she is nobody. At home, she was a figure in the social life, no party was complete without her; there was no hour in the day for a chat. ““At home, she was a leader in church work and club work. when there wasn't something interesting doing, when she wasn't going somewhere or some girl friend sn't dropping In the city, except for her husband, she is as much alone as Robingon Crusoe was on his desert isle. In the city church' and club her timid advances are often ruthlessly snubbed, and she gives it up, feeling that she has no more part in a city church than she has in its society. ““Worst of all, she has nothing to do. The brand-new furniture and the ‘brand-new rugs in the brand-new home are hopelessly clean. The brand-new clothes offer no chance for mending. There is absolutely nothing for her to do but sit and think about what mother and the girls are doing at -home. “Is it any wonder that under such circumstances she gives way to home- sickness? All of her dreaming is broken through. Her ideal of perfect rapture is shattered. She has found misery where she looked for nothing but (unalloyed happiness and for the time being her desolation is heartbreaking and complete. ' “Few brides who come as strangers to a city escape this martyrdom of Joneliness and boredom. One of the happiest married women I know says that as the train rolled into the city where she was henceforth to live, ringing her, as a bride, a sudden realization came over her of what she had ‘| done—that she had broken with her old, happy, carefree, girl life; that she was parted from her family #nd old friends and was facing an unknown world with a man who, at the moment, seemed an utter stranger to her—and it seemed to her that her heart would break with the agony of it. 2 cfe e e “I HAVE heard another woman tell how she hated a certain street because in. the weary months of homesickness and loneliness of her so-called ‘honeymoon she tramped, tramped, tramped it, trying to wear out in physical exertion the restlessness that possessed her.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS Types of Figures. Judging from the numerous letters I recelve asking my opinion on the physical specification of the writers’ there seems to be a very widespread interest in the “perfect” feminine fig- ure. I guppose it is the yearly beauty contests at Atlantic City and else- where that are responsible for thi Iam ed over and over again just what constitutes the ideal figure. Girls of trom 13 to 30 wish to attain this physical perfection. Their dear- est desire seems to be to make them- selves fit a, single beauty formula. Now, there are various types of figure just ‘as there are different types of coloring and different temperaments. There is the flat boyish figure that is normal to girls in their early ’teen: Then there is the slender, girlish fig. ure that reaches its perfection in the late ’teens or early 20s. In this type the bust and hips measure the same. The height is usually from 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 6 inches, and weight from 120 to 130 pounds. Other physical specifications are; Neck, 12% or 13 inches; bust and hips, 34; waist, 26 thigh, 19 to 20; wrist, 6 to 7; ankl, to B calf, 18%. The figure of the mature young woman is naturally more developed than either of the two immature types just described. She has more right to claim the title of “perfect” than they have because her development is complete. Her bust measure ranges Ztrom 34 to 38.inches and her-hips.are DOROTHY DIX. two or more inches larger than her bust measurements. The “perfect 36" is an example of this full-blown type of beauty. Here are the measure- ments: Height, 5 feet 5 inches; neck, 13%; waist, 26 to 28; hips, 38 to 40; bust, 36 and 38; thigh, 23; calf, 131s; ankle, 715, ; The commonest defects of figure that prevent individuals from measuring up to the standard of physical per. fection appropriate for their age are large hips, abdomen and calves, and busts that are too flat. These faults may be corrected by systematic exer- cise as described in my leaflets 'Bnqty Exercise’” and “Care of the Legs.” The woman with large, flabby upper arms and wide hips will find suitable exercises for improving her figure in “The Indoor Woman." These leaflets are free to any one who will send me a stamped, self- addressed envelope with her request. Answers. Fanny Bell—The average weight for vour age and height is 97 pounds.

It ir a mother's fault if her baby is a poor sleeper! The kind of sentimen- tality which makes a mother pity her baby when she puts him in a dark room at night and leaves him so he may sleep comfortably in his own bed {s the samé kind of sentimental- ity which will make her hurry to him when he turns over and whim- pers a bit atvnight and take him into her own bed, as if he were being mis- treated, instead of being, as he is, the most fortunate of children. This type of mother encourages sleepless- ness in her baby, for he cries out when he finds it brings him attention and petting, and soon he is waking just from habit and not because there is one thing at all the matter with him. She encourages this wakeful- ness every time she cakes him out of his bed at night. Having had three bables myself, I speak from experience when 1 say that sick or well a ehild who is in the habit from birth of being put in his own bed in-a dark room and left alone, after his last feeding, will never dream of rebelling against this. Even when a baby is sick, or badly fed, he will still sieep at night if he is habited to sleeping, thereby making his return’ to health just that much easier for him. It is all in getting started from birth. By six weeks a bahy should be accustgmed to a 6 o'clock bed that he will be half asleep be- fore he is even stowed away in ki erib. It makes no difference hov nervous his mother is (this is a regu- lation excuse) it is natural for hin to sleep. It s because af wrons habits instituted by his mother that he fails to sleep. Mothers ‘have everything in their favor in startthg good sleeping habits, for they are working with na- ture, B SR It {s true that the hungry baby is a wide-awake in most cases. Nat- urally, he‘won't sleep when he is full of gas instead.of food. or when he is 8o full of food that every breath is a pain. We cannot treat this sleepless- nees like the slgeplessness that comes from the bad habit of handling the baby at night‘when he doesn't need it. We must first adjust the food. But in spite of bad feeding babies who have go0od sleeping habits will sleep any- way. ‘The mistake lies in taking a baby up when he whimpers a bit. Turn him over, straighten his covers and his clothes, se¢ that he is warm and comfortable, and then Igive him alone. Say “Go to sleep” softly each time you put him in bed, and associate with these words quiet and darkness and being left alone. Very, very soon the baby knows exactly what is ex- pectedt of him and he does it. 80 many ‘mothers say, “I can't let my baby cry at night hecause of his father, who has to work, or neighbors who will be disturbed,” etc. But isn't one night of wakefulness better than months of it for the mother and the baby, who should be sleeping instead of being kept awake and quiet by a tired, irritable mother? Even if the mother were the smallest considera- tion, it is ruinous for the baby. He should sleep at night. That is not the time for playing and enter. tainment. The sooner he learns this the better for every one. SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY. \I gryin’ cause I can't find my green monkey on a stwing—an' baby to be stuffin’ on a Stwing—ow-w-w-w!

Reddy pretended not to understand. “What do you mean?" he demanded. “Don’t try to fool me, Reddy Fox. Don't try to fool me,” snarled Shadow. “You know well enough that if I drive Peter Rabbit out of there and you atch him, there will be no chance for me to get my share of him." an’t you trust me?" asked Reddy in his smoothest voice. “No, ‘I can't trust you,” retorted Shadow. “Any one who would trust a Fox would deserve the worst that could happen to him.” (Copyright Across. .

BEAUTY CHATS Face Lotions. 1t is often a problem to keep the skin really soft and fine during the last months of the Winter. The skin will resist the cold for a time, but after a month or so of raw weather it begins to chap and roughen after the slightest exposure each day. This is because it has already dried out. Feed it olls. When you wash your face in the morning, rub it first with cleansing cream, and wash this off with warm water and soap. You take very nearly all the cream from the skin by washing, let leave énough on to keep its texture soft. Cleansing cream does not nourish, being made of mineral ofl, and it won't make your complexion oily, and it does nothing at all but take dirt from the pores (which s all it is suposed to do).
