WOMAN'S PAGE. Jumpers and Overblouses BY MARY MARSHALL. If there is nothing else actually es-|expect some interesting new effects. tablished about Spring faslSons there | These longer jumpers while conform- s =t least this for cvertain jumpers and ' ing apparently to accustomed straight overblouses are to be longer. The pre- silhoutte are neatly shaped and fitted | about the hips. You may put this down /in your mental note book right now— that the straight flat hipline is to pre- {vail and the need for reducing exer- | clses and a carefully regulated diet will | continue to be as great as it has been. I learned the other day that among | the frocks recently chosen by the Queen of Spain from Worth in Paris is one ‘of the new white blue of which you may have heard. Ever since the days of the Empress Eugenie, whose crino- lined frocks were made by this dress- maker, European queens have been counted among the Worth clientele. ‘White blue is a color difficult to de- scribe. I cannot do better than to re- peat the definition I heard the other | day, comparing it to the color of clear water as it looks in a pure white porce- lain bathtub. Jade green chiffon was the color of the chiffon foundation for a frock re- cently worn by Mrs. Coolidge at an im- portant evening reception. Over the jade green there was a drapery of silvgr tissue with a skirt quite full at the sides and (nding in a long rounded train at the back. To go with the frocks the slip must be fitted rather nicely and for that reason we are offering you this week a diagram pattern of ong of the new slips, which may be adjusted to fit any type of figure.

How to Cure a Jazz-Mad Witfe. DFAR MISS DIX: Since so many of the States exact health certificates from a man and woman before they are permitted to marry, would it not be an excellent law if, in addition, A man and a woman had to undergo a character | test before they were granted a license to wed? READER. Answer: It would certainly add much to the safety of marriage if men and women could know beforchand the characters of the life partners they were getting, but 1 am afraid the law could never furnish them with this important information. For it is one of the contradictions of matrimony that often the and wives. | You often hear people wonder why wives cling to drunken, good-for-nothing ‘ husbands, and why men put up with slovenly, extravagant, thriftless wives, and | the answer is that these men and women who had nothing to commend them | to the public had some quality that endeared them so much to those to whom | they were married that they were willing to forgive all other faults. & | And, on the other hand, it is often cynically pointed out with what fortitude some wife has borne the loss of her husband who was a prominent citizen and an example in the community. Or people wonder why some man neglects a wife who is such a noble woman, and only the woman and the man themselves could | tell how unlovable these paragons were in domestic life. So no test that the law could make of a man's or a woman’s character | would have any bearing upon their eligibility as husbands and wives. They | might grade 100 per cent perfect, and yet make those who marricd them utterly miserable. A man might be as moral as a_church steeple. yet cold as ice to his wife. He might be rigidly honest, vet a tightwad out of whom she would have to drag | every penny, He might be as dry as the Voistead act, yet have a temper that would keep her cowering in fear of him. He might be industrious and frugal and yet grumpy and surly, with never a kind word to say to her. A woman might be pure as ice and chaste as snow and yet have a heart as hard as a rock. She might be intelligent, yet one of the bossy women who | all want to look at the pictures, but | T have cut out of the paper. This leads AND THEIR CHILDREN. | i i An Eye for News.

She might be industrious and capable and a fine housckeeper and yet totally unsympathetic and lacking in every charm of softness and gentleness. The truth is it 1s not the standardized virtues that make for happiness in marriage. It is the temper and the temperament of the individual that count: and unfortunately there seems to be no way of getting any accurate line upon these until after marriage, and then the knowledge comes too late to do you any good. If there was any way In which a girl could find out before marriage if a man was generous, if he was good-natured, if he was tolerant, if he was tender and sympathetie, it would be a great thing for her. But there 1s no way for her to get this sort of a character test, because before marriage every man lavishes presents on his sweetheart, and considers her pleasure before his own, and is gallant and chivalrous. It would be equally valuable for the man to get a line on a girl before marriage and find out if she was sweet-tempeied and broad-minded, and a good | sport who would be wiiling to make the best of things as they came, But he 15 equally powerless to find out anything about her real character, BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, | | Mrs. A.

Real motives are very difficult to get at And usually we find praiseworthy motives because it hurts our pride to name the uglv truth. Frequently our desires will not stand the light of day in their naked form, so we clothe them in nice reasons. There are several reasons whyv we applaud. but the most important is an ugly one. We applaud to show off. It 1= quite a strain to sit quietly in the dark and watch another person take the spotlight. We can stand it just about so long. then we come in with | our clapping and other savage demon- strations to show that we, too, are im- portant The applause means that we, the high-muck-a-muck. acting as critic approve the performancs; that we have wit enouzh o appre te.

I)EAR DOROTHY DIX: Two years ago I married a young woman with many good qualities, but whose one great weakness is a craze for jazz parties. | ‘When discussing this before marriage she assured me that when she had a home of her own and me as her mate jazz parties would be a thing of the past and a new life would dawn. Our married life has been very happy, but a dark spot is rising on the horizon. Gradually the old mania for jazz parties has been coming back, and her going has become so frequent that I cannot keep pace with her and be fit for my work the next morning. The result is that she goes out dancing with friends nearly every night, arriving home at 2 or 3 in the morning, dead tired and warhed out. Except for this, my wife is almost ideal and I am very fond of her. Naturally as a young husband I object to this very much and have thought of getting away to other surroundings. but I hate to break up my home and leave a good position. What can I do? PERPLEXED HUSBAND. Answer: It would be foolish to break up your home and your business connection, because you can't move away from temptation. There is nowhere nowadays that you can get away from a jazz orchestra, and If your wife is dance- mad, she could always find somebody to tread a measure with her. ‘The only thing you can do is to reason with her and try to make her sce what a foolish thing she is doing, and how unjustly she is treating you. Tell her that you think she has little affection for you if she loves dancing better than she does you, and If she is wiliing to leave you alone evening after evening while she 1s off amusing herself hopping around a ballroom floor. Ask her if she thinks she is being a gceod sport, and playing lh¥ game | squarely with you, when she uses up her health and strength in dancing instead of making & comfortable home, and when she comes home too U and exhausted to do anything but throw herself on the bed and sleep. take much of such night life to ruin her health and make her a nervous wreck, fit to be no man's wife, and nothing but an expense to him. Finally, ask her if she has counted the cost that she will have to pay for her jazz parties. They come high for married women. A few of the items are Her good name. Her husband. Her home. No young wife can run around to jazz parties night after night without her husband, and be out until almost morning. without being talked about. Nor can she dance night after night with men without their making love to her, and she would be less than a woman if she didn’t put a little pep Into the situation by flirting with them. And no husband could see his wife leave him to go to parties without gatting jealous. ‘Then follow, naturally, quarrels and divorce. Yaur wife must be indeed mad if she thinks that her jazz parties are worth the price. 1 commend your strength of character in refusing to let your wife drag you around at her heels to her dancing orgi>s.
