After much deliberation she chose aft Italian beret of red and tan felt to add to her collection, and an Austrian cap of black felt with much bright embroidery upon it.

D!:AR MISS DIX: I am a young mother, 23 years old. I have a loving and tender husband and two wonderful children, but they get on my nerves | ‘bout Fanksgivin' her said her was fankful | terribly sometimes. I was married when I was 18, just out of high school, and had never been anywhere or had any pleasure, as my parents were very strict. My husband's sole interest is his work. He never wants to go out of an evening. | T've never been to a party or a night club or a dance or had an evening dress, and I am tired of this dull life of slavery. If my husband would only take me out occasionally and let me see a little life and gayety, perhaps I would soon tire of it and be a home-loving body. What shall I do? . ONE WHO LIVES IN HOPE. Answer: Yours is the inevitable tragedy of those who marry too early. Tt seems to be a law of life that we must have our playtime, and if we miss it, | we are never happy or satisfied. The girl who has never had any beaux but the man she married, who has i never flirted or had admiration from men. makes the middle-aged woman who is ! man-crazy and who gets into compromising affairs with the lounge lizards she | picks up at tea-dances and cabarets. ‘The girl who gets married in her teens and is tied down with bables 2nd never has any free time, any girl time, makes the mother, like yourself, who is mad about gadding and crazy for pleasure and dancing when she ought to be | satisfied staying at home with her children. On the other hand, the woman who waits to marry until she has had her fling of admiration from men, and who has been fed up on daneing parties is glad enough to settle down to the love of one good man and is content to stay put at her own fireside. % If you will notice closely you will observe ‘hat nearly all the men and women, who get into scandals at middle age were married when they were mere boys and girls. They married before they had had their fling at life, and when they took it later on it got them into trouble, | However, in your case it's too late for regrets. The fact remains that you | married at 18 before you had your girl time, and now, if your husband is wise, | he will try to make up to you for it as far as he can by giving you pleasure in | broken doses. He will let you buy yourself as many pretty frocks as you can | afford and take you out once or twice a week to some place where you camw see | the bright lights.

Beauty of the Teeth. ‘The proper care of the teeth does not come within the scope of the beauty shop operator, but I think it should have a place in this depart- ment, where we try to throw light on | everything that contributes to per- sonal beauty. The appearance of the teeth may mar the attractiveness of a | pretty face. While there are no home treatments that I can suggest for correcting de- formities or irregularities of the h, I can tell you how to take the best care of them. A dentist can straighten your teeth and treat their diseases, but g | it is upon the daily care that you give | them at home that a large part of their | health and beauty depends. | The average girl does not clean her teeth with anywhere near the thorough- | ness that is required.

A fresh ham that is baked in cider makes, to my way of thinking, a plece de resistance that surpasses turkey in flavor, and that costs at most one-third @s much. Roast capon with chestnut stuffing is not to be frowned upon, and roast duck with a brown orange sauce offers a choice that is worthy | of any occasion. It you decide on 2 roast fresh ham, you may buy either a whole or a half, according to the size of your family. In either case have the butcher remove the bone so that you can fill the cavity with a well flavored stuffing. Use any of your favorite turkey stuffing recipes for this, making, however, only about | half as much as is required for a tur- key. Stuff the ham and tie securely to hold it firm. Place in roasting pan with the rind uppermost. And this rind, by the way, should be cut criss- cross in little squares—the butcher usually does this, but if not, use a very sharp knife in order to cut through the rind. Sprinkle the ham with a little flour, salt and pepper and put in a very hot oven—475 degrees—for a half hour. At the end of that time pour one cup of cider over the ham, reduce the heat to 350 degrtes and continue cooking, allowing one-half hour for each pound of meat. Baste several times, pouring one cup of cider over the meat each time. If the ham becomes too brown cover it with a piece of heavy brown paper, or use a covered roaster. The rind of the ham will cook to a delicious crispness, and, because it has been Willie Willis BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “We was goin' to play with my foot ball this afternoon, but I forgot about mamma tellin’ me not to kick it in the dbouse,” i i T { outer surfaces of all her teeth. This | may be due in part to the shape of the average toothbrush, which is too long, so that it does not fit into the curves. The brush end should be short, with & long handle. The bristles should be of uneven lengths and not closely set to- gether. A new toothbrush should be soaked in a strong solution of salt and cold any hbrush should be thoroughly dried ®~%ore it is used. For this reason one should have two, one to use in the f morning and the other for night. By | the following morning the first brush will be dry. Hot water should not be used on the brush since it softens the bristles. The correct way of brushing the teeth is described by a dentist, Dr. Gardner, and I can do no better than to quoté his words: “The bristles of the brush” he says, “are placed at right angles to the long axis of the teeth. The brush rests entirely on the teeth, not on the teeth and the gum tissue. Pressure is then gently but firmly applied so that the bristles will slide off the prominent parts of the teeth and penetrate into the spaces be- tween them. The sides, of the bristles s they penetrate will come into con- tact with the gum tissue and compress it. A slight wriggling or vibratory {no;eme?’tl lsb ?.aned. vi-;re being taken 0 keep the bristles in the spaces where they have been forced.” 5 Some people believe that the use of a mouth wash obviates the necessity of brushing the teeth. This is a mis- take: although some of the commercial Iotions of this kind leave a very cool, acreeable taste in the mouth, they do not really clean as a brush can, (Copyright, 1928.y Holiday Feast scored, can be sliced down with the T hould d ould you decide to use a capen, | it may be cooked in the same wn}"’c:s | the chicken.” Capons are larger ‘and | heavier than chicken, and usually have | a little richer flavor.

Women were once taught to think ithat if cne lived an honest and up- rl%ht life, economic success was assured. ‘They learned from bitter experience that nothing of the sort is so. This is no attempt to disparage vir- tue, nor to discourage it, It is simply a reminder that virtue alone will not provide for our material wants. We know of many hard working housewives, and you know of them, too, who never waste a penny, never squander one, and at the end of end- less years of toil have wracked bodies and empty purses. It would be bitterly ironical to assure them that virtue is its own reward, or that their rewards will come later. ‘These women have earned a substance for their old age by dint of industry and thrift. The trouble is they have failed to collect it. If one visits the country paer house, one does not find there selfish, extrava- gant, or dishonest old folks, as a rule. One finds kindly old people, who have been too kind to others to be kind to themselves. One finds there people whose ~virtue would never be im- pugned. | This is not a sad subject. It is rather an educational subject.

The chances are that this person does not have the idéa, or does not have it clearly, or he would ex- press it all right. But, still, there is something to express apart from what we want to express. It's an art. You are always expressing yourself in one way or another. Rest assured of that—be encouraged—take warning. The pictures on your wall (I hope they are attractive); the books on your five- foot shelf (I hope thay are worthy of being read); the friends you assemble about you (I hope they are faithful ones)—these are all your instinctive foryms of self-expression. You express yourself without knowing how, without thinking how. Out of it comes real art and genuine life. Uuless expression is like a siphon of vichy, it doesn’t shoot out, but has to be pumped out. The artist expresses himself when he takes & face and makes a.picture of it, whem he views the scenery and then puts it on the canvas, when he reads the news and then turns it into a short story. The artist does in a professional manner what you and I do in a homely way. But it's all ex- pression. Yes, there's an art to it—this busi- ness of expression. When it comes to coughing u}: the big idea or telling the news, the trick is to find the proper words, and words we have a plenty, as every. cross word puzzle friend knows. It's a matter of vocabulary. Most ple think that means having a long string of words at your command, when really the business of having a good vocabulary means the possession of fitting words and the knowledge of how to use them. Listen in when others talk. Read with care when a good reporter or short story writer dopes something out. See how they pick out neat adjectives and expressive verbs. te such writers when you talk. You have enough words, but need more skill in using them. It's just as true in carrying on con- versation, and conversation is some- thing that must be “carried on.” Ex- pressive conversation depends upon interest. We can all converse when there’s something startling going on, like a. fire. But the thing to do is make exery- thing you talk about interesting so that people will feel that, they are talking about a fire or a trip to the circus. (Copyright, 1928.)

At the end of a lifetime, a life of virtue may be presented with high hopes to our Maker. To the material world in Wwhich we live we must pre- sent material receipts for our labor. All of us earn them, but they are easily dissipated in the course of life- time. It matters not whether we in- dulge our children, speculate, or spend prodigally. The result is the same. There are two sides to life, a spirtt- ual and a physical side. We must pro- vide for both. Mushrooms on Toast For four people allow one-half pound of mushrooms and two cups of canned tomatoes.

That way perdition | HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 26— The day when a king arrived at the coronation ceremony without a spare tire on the back of his car—in the movies—is passing. Technical direction is no longer an empty title in studios, nor is the office imerely a pleasant way for the producer or director to hand a salary to a friend. There is a sincere endeavor on the part of the makers of recent movies to h‘fi'fli{l genuine atmosphere and correct deta:l. Greta Garbo's new picture, which has its locale in Java, is being technically directed by Capt. Fritz Lyons, former Heidelberg student, officer in the Ger- man navy and owner of a Javanese plantation, where he lived for many years. He contributed the realistic touches to “Old Heidelberg,” under the direction of Ernst Lubitsch, and Las done some excellent work in submarine {and battleship technical direction. Mrs. William J. Locke wasn’t in Hol- lywcod a week before one of the largest nical direction on a picture which calls for an English locale. L. J. O'Connor, warden of San Quen- tin Prison, has come to Hollywood to supervise technically the convict life scenes being made in one of the largest pictures under way. ‘Which proves that detail in pictures is on the upgrade. Audiences are be- coming more astute and less polite. A stupid scene wins a chuckle that bursts {into a hearty roar. Three or four hearty roars at the wrong time put a picture into the second class. Maria Gorda is making another pic- ture, this time opposite Milton Sills. The blond Maria will show the world how temperament and sex appeal are intensified with a Venetian setting.
