I have seen the vogue employed in dining rooms of a type as severely simple as they were elegant and dignified in treatment. To com- bine such startling color with fittings that were inclined to be ornate would be to exercise doubtful taste. Like all fashions which, if wrongly used, would suggest the bizarre, this for vivid chair seats must be used with great discretion and reserve.

Do Women Prefer Cavemen? How Can Save a Home--Tragedy of a JDBEAR MISS DIX: My husband and I were discussing the type of woman who permits “her man” to beat and abuse her, and still continues to love him. My husband says he believes that the best way to treat a woman to retain her love is to treat her rough. I do not agree with him. What do you think? NORMA. Answer: 1 szet so many letters from d their hearts over the husbands who have hee off with other women, and from other wives who write pages telling how their husbands beat them and kick them about and starve them and who protest they love them still, that I am often tempted to agree with your husband and believe in the doctrine of the old rhyme which sa A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, The more you beat them the better they be. ted wives who are breaking unfaithful to them and gone en who continue to love the men who mistreat them belong to two types. The one who goes on grieving after the man who has ceased to love her and has transferred his affection to another woman has the martyr complex and enjoys her sufferings. She is never py as when she is miserable, and she keeps herself doped up on her tears of self-pity until she lives in a world that is as unreal as that of the hashish eater. She has the time of her life telling her woes to ail who will listen and she gets a kick out of posing as a poor tragie victim of the perfidy of man. The we That kind of woman has no pride. No backbone. She never braces up and tries to make anything of her life. She goes on coddling her grief over her wrongs and burning incense before the picture of the cad who wearied of her and threw her overboard. 5 the hand that strikes her belongs to the most primitive and undeveloped type of womanhood. She is mentally still back in the cavewoman days, when hairy, brutish men fought with other hairy, brutish men for.their mates and dragged them home to their lairs There is something elemental in such a woman which makes her worship her master and thrill to cruelty. She likes being conquered and she would respect no man whom she aid not fear. She can appreciate nothing but animal strength in a man, and so the more he beats her the more she admires him The other woman who still kiss But the martyr woman and the cavewoman are rare and growing rarer and T should not advise any man to attempt to hold a modern with a club. For the chances are that instead of winning her heart she would have him arrested for assault and battery, and that he would have to defend a divorce suit in which he was charged with cruelty. Of course, women like strong men. Probably every woman gets a secret satisfaction out of feeling that her husband could beat her if he chose to do so, but she gets a dgeper satisfaction out of knowing that he is too tender and chivalrous even to dream of doing such a thing. morally not to let her domineer over him. No wife but despises the that she can henpeck.~ But as for women loving the men who mistr who are cruel to them in word or deed, that's all bunk. husband at them, Very often a wife does not resent her husband's treatment of her, because she is not strong enough to fight him back, and so she is forced to submit to being flouted and insulted and sworn at and disregarded in very way. But this doesn’t make her love him. It makes her hate him with a consuming hatred that would terrify him if he knew it. The only way a man can make a self-respecting, intelligent, modern woman love him is by being good to her, not by treating her rough. DOROTHY D AR DOROTHY DIX: My mother used to be the most adorable mother in the world and we were just pals together, but about a yi ago we bought a home and she insisted on going to work. Since that time she has become so irritable and such a nagger that she has made our home a hell on earth in which I stay as little as I can. The other day I tried to explain how unreasonable she had become and she told me that I had better get out, she would be glad of it. I am earning a good salary, enough to keep me nicely anywhere, but T can't bring myself to leave home; yet I am so sick at heart and so unhappy I could die. MARY. DIX. e Answer: The trouble with your mother is that she is overworked. She Is so tired that it makes her irritable and her nagging is the expression of her {razzled nerves. She probably won't listen to anything you say, so you had better get some doctor to tell her that she must have a rest, and that unless she gives up this job, which is too hard for her, she will have a nervous breakdown which will make her an invalid for the remainder of her life. 1f she won't consent to see a doctor, the only way you can bring her to her senses is to leave home for a while. She thinks that your threatening to go is just a bluff, but when she realizes that you are actually gone and she begins to miss you it will give her a jolt that will wake her up. 1 thinke that there is nothing sadder than the fact that half of the domestic misery in the world is the result not of bad hearts but of had nerves. Men and women overwork themselves for the sake of tho fretful that they turn their homes into places of torment. home at night they are too worn out to do anything but sit up in glum silence or whose ragged nerves make them flash into rages over nothing or snap out bitter and sarcastic replies to everything that is said to them! How many women we knpow who clean and cook and scrub until they are nothing but bunches of irritability that keep them fretting at their children and nagging at their husbands would rather have more amiability and peace, even if it did have less money to spend and more dust on the mantelpiece and fewer cakes and pies. Believe me, many a divorce could be saved and many a home kept from being broken up by a rest cure. DOROTHY DIX. EAR DOROTHY DIX: I have a suitor who has made a brilliant college record. He is a good dr r and has a fine physique, is kind, generous, amiable and interesting, and will no doubt be a brilliint and successful physician. But his mother is a kleptomaniac, and this young man, who worked for my uncle when he was a high school pupil, was detected daily taking money from the cadh drawer. My relatives kept it quiet, but I have not forgotten it. I am a young woman, college bred, earning a good salary What do you think of him as a husband for me? ~MUCH CONCERNED. Impossible, if you are an honest woman. Possibly he may again, though I think he will; but you would never have any trust in him. I don't know whether dishonesty is hereditary or not, but 1 am very sure that a woman who was herself a thief could not teach her son to be honest. " DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1027.) BEAUTY CHATS Artistic Hands. It your hands are not naturally small and gracefully formed have you ever thought that you can make them artistic no matter how large they A good deal of this is in their ity. 1t your hands ave flexible and full of character they will look like the hands of an artist or a musician, and if they are large it will only help this illusion. But they must be flexible, for the hand that is muscularly stiff will never look as if it accomplished any- thing more artistic than washing the dinner dishes. Here are some exc cises which are given to music pupils. They are to make the fingers long and flexible, to improve the “reach” so a chord can be played as a chord instead of a tinkling arpeggio. Put the thumb inside and close the fingers over it vather softly, letting them stretch down on the hand as far as possible instead of letting them curl. Throw | them open as energetically as possible, stretching out all the fingers as wide as you can. Repeat with the left hand and the right hand, and do it again and again and again, dozens of times. The closing should be gentle, the stretching vigorous to get the real value out of this exercise. Here's another: This has heen called a “shivering” exercise. Hold out the arm, the hand rather loose, and shake and ‘wriggle the fingers and thumb as hard and as fast as possible. If this resembles anything it is sprinkling water on clothes before ironing.
