Another woman may be seen | wearing a narrow belt almost as high |as the old-time normal waist, while | both narrow and wide belts are worn at_various lines in between. |7 For every figure there is probably ! some best and most becoming beltline. It 1s a clever woman who can discover | this line and a wise woman who, hav- ing discovered it. clings to it. Some one really ought to think of a word to use instead of semi-sports to indicate the type of simply made fracks, wraps, hats, etc.. that follow the general trend of actual sports wear, but are more appropriate for the look- er-on than the actual participant. Some one speaks of the women who attend sporting events merely s £)r- !tators as N. P.'s — non-particip=n’ and one might speak of the sports _fashions, only most wouldn't know what we meant. | The statement has been -made. now, that these N.

But there is gond son to believe that the sports tvpe | costume will be as popular as ever for | almost all occasions. Fortunately the shoulder flower is still in fashion--and among the newest posies for this purpose are poppies made of silk.

(Covrieht. 18 My Neighbor Says: Instead of folding men's shirts after ironing them place each one on a hanger. If this is done, the time spent in folding will be saved. ‘When blankets are being washed remember that the rinsing water must be soapy in order to make the blankets light and fluffy. An- other point to be remembered is that all the waters in which the blankets are washed should be of the same temperature. In ironing silks, woolens and colored materials use the medi- um hot irons. Iron all these ma- terials on the wrong side, except aprons and children’s dresses. If they have a smooth surface, silks and woolens mav be ironed on the right side if covered with dampened cheesecloth.

SUB ROSA BY MIMI | Question of Petting. | No matter how many surprises I may find in my morning’s mail, I can at least be sure of one thing—that it will always hold four or five inquiries | on the subject of petting | Men want to know whether girls | expect to be petted. Girls want to { know whether it's necessary to pet in| order to have a good time. There | is endless curiosity about the subject, endless speculation, endless debate. Most girls tell me they pet. They add that they do not like to pet, but | | have found on occasions when they refused that they weren't asked out again by the same boys. Therefore, in order to have a gmd‘ time, they insist they must display the | proper amount of affection—or go un- | | invited and unrushed. | Very sad cases, very sad. | But, of course, none of these dams taken the subject up properly. If they had, they might be able to| enjoy any number of good times with- | out the bother, annoyance and disgust | indeed. | 1s of demonstrating affection toward | men for whom they care actually! ! nothing. In the first place, the girl who finds ' herself on an automobile ride with a | | persistent suitor—if she be a non-petter | by instinct—will more than likely do | | the queenly act. | That is, she will say haughtily “None of that, please. I'm not that | kind of girl” or words to that effect. | | She will follow up this line with a | i cold withdrawal into one corner of the | | car, and she will undoubtedly main- | you were young? {and I well remember what a tough struggle you and your wife had, and how DorothyDix “1 Cannot See That 1 Have Hurt My Children by Helping Them Get a Start in Life Instead of Allowing Them to Scuffle for Themselves.” \ MAN of my acquaintance, who is not rich, but only well-to-do, as we count £ fortunes nowadays, has been very generous to his, children. He has given them all homes of their own, and set his sons up in business, and given his daughters dowries when they married that provided them with independent incomes of thelr own, How Much Should a Self- Cites Case of One Father Who Decided Wisely | Made Man Help His Children? ‘ “You have done too much for your children,” said a friend in remonstrance | to this man. “Why don't you let them scuffle for themselves as you did when Nobody gave you anything. You had to make your own way, you lived in two rooms, and she cooked and sewed and patched and a dollar looked as big as a cartwheel to you.” “So do T remember those days of bilter privation and heart-breaking anxiety,” replicd the man, “and that is what I am trying to save my children from. " However, T am not the foolishly fond and indulgent father that you think Iam, and before I gave to my children T made very certain that I would be really | helping and not hurting them by doing so. “If my boys had been lazy and shiftless and no-account, I should not have given them a penny, because I would have known that the only way to make re°n of them would be to throw them out on their own, so that they would either have to work or starve. If they had' bcen wasters and spenders I would nnt have given them any money to throw away, nor would I have given them money to spend on booze or gambling or wild women. “But my sons are fine, clean, young men, thrifty, industrious, ambitious, doing thelr parts in the world well. They would make their own fortunes, alone and unaided, but it would take them a long time to do so. I know how hard and grueling is the experience of the man who begins at the bottom and fights his way up inch by inch, for I have been through it. ] ENOW how bleak are the years when you are tortured by anxlety, and when you must crucify every taste because you cannot afford to gratify it, and when you must deny yourself every pleasure and amusement because ¥ou must count every penny and cannot afford anything except the bare neces- Sities of Jife, | “It is this sordid struggle that takes the youth out of a man and makes him old before his time, that robs him of the very power of enjoyment, and that leaves scars on his memory that no prosperity ever effaces, that I have saved my children by giving them a hand-un at the time they needed it most. “I cannot see that 1 have hurt them, becouse T can see no value in uns necessary suffering.

We must admit that women are con- sistent, after all. When they wore long skirts, they carrled long umbrelias. Now that the skirts are shorter the um- brellas are, too. Nancy could remem- ber her first blue sult with fitted jacket and near-trailing skirts. She had a black umbrella to go with it. Today her umbrella was short and stubby. The handle had a good-sized crook. She could grasp it firmly. Even though the silk covering was shaded in color and feminine to look at there was still_something dependable about the umbrella, Nancy noticed that the new Spring suits were going to show color. After the Winter of black the color was a pleasant relief. Suits of tweed mixture with a hip-length silk blouse and a seven-cighths length coat were to be “the style.” A square scarf tied in a sporty fashion showed gay colors. But even the scarf was knotted trimly. The close-fitting hat, short trig well tailored suit gave Miss 1928 the umbrella. | air of being ready for whatever might | come, SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y.
