WOMAN'’S PAGE. Amateur Work on Sunburst Skirt BY MARY MARSHALL. Every young girl I knew wore sun- burst pleated skirts last Summer, and ' some of them are wearing them still. “For the short, plump girl the sunburst s, ‘THIS CREPE DE CHINE FROCK IS TRIMMED WITH EMBROIDERY AND THE FINELY PLEA' SKIRT IS IRONED OUT AT EDGE TO GIVE THE FLARE. skirt had disadvantages which no older ‘woman would dare to suggest uniess she ‘wanted to be put down as an old fogey. One real disadvant to this type of skirt—which I am told will be in favor again this Spring and Summer—is the fact that you cannot make it yourself, and if you do like to save a penny here and in your dress allowance by making your own simpler things this is a real disadvantage. Straight pleated skirts any one can make quite simply—all save the actual pleating, and this can be done by the professional pleater at a not very great expense. So the other day when I saw a new frock with a straight vleated skirt pressed out at the hem, which had the same swaying flare characteristic of the sunburst pleated skirt, I decided to tell all my young girl friends about it. ‘The frock in question came from a high-priced dressmaking establishment and was specially pleated in that way. But if your pleater isn’t up to the new wrinkle, you may simply have the skirt pleated and then press out the lower part yourself. It gives the low, inverted lily flare that is so highly favored at present. Crocheted belts are among the sea- son’s novelties that can easily be made at home. They are so simple to make, s0 inexpensive and so attractive that I am sure you will want a number of them. 1If you do, just send your stamped, self-addressed envelope to me and I will send this week’s circular, which gives all the particulars.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Who Is to Blame for the In-Law Problem?—Call- ing’ Bluff of Inconsistent Lover—How to Deal With-Wife Who Is Quitter. ers-in-law and dlulhten-(n;luw r:u lu; t alon| ether, do think it is always the mother-in-la lault’ H.ver‘:z you :e:x?! a lot of yo:{xul:lg wives, untrained and inexj nced, and self- centered and seifish, who were so on the. defa e that they resented every suggestion from their mothers-in-law as “butting in"? I have been a daughter- in-law for & long time, and am soon to be a mother-in-law and am trying to see both ‘sides of the question: MRS. M. L. W. Certainly T think that there are two sides to the in-law question, and that when John's wife and his mother fail to hit it off together it is just as often the daughter-in-law's fault as it is the mother-in-law's. If I preach oftener to mothers-in-law than I do to daughters-in-law, it is because I hope the older woman will listen, and I know the younger one will not. There is no other such self-complacent creature on earth as a bride. She knows it all. She is sure of herself and of her opinions and her ability to handle every situation, and in vamn do you hang red lanterns of warning before her. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: When mot! Also, it is more important for the mother-in-law to get along amiably with her daughter-in-law than it is for the daughter-in-law to get along with her. For John's mother is not essential to John’s wife’s happiness. She can get along perfectly well without mother-in-law, and whether mother-in-law likes her or not makes little difference to her, but it is vital to John's mother for his wife to be fond of her and friends with her, for that is the only way she can hold on to the son who is the core of her heart. Otherwise John's wife proceeds to alienate him from his mother. That is tragedy for mother. So, if T am always urging mothers-in-law to avert catastrophe by not living with their daughters-in-law, and to eliminate as much friction as possible by keeping their tongues behind their teeth if they are forced to live with their daughters-in-law, it is not because I think that the mothers-in-law are always in the wrong. It is only because peace at any price is worth while to the mother-in-law, and because the older woman should have more judgment, more self-control, more dipiomacy, and should be able to handle the situation with more finesse than the younger one. smuch as most mothers-in-law have been daughters-in-law themselves, it dog“lox:: as if they should have salvaged enough wWisdom out of their own experiences to know how to deal with their sons’ brides. Surely every woman must remember how she resented her mother-in-| w's interference and ydvlu. and that should teach her to keep her fingers out of her daughter-in-law’s pies. Surely every woman should remember how determined she was to have her own way in unimportant things, and what stress she put on dollles and the right spoon when she was starting out in housekeeping, and that should enable her to make allowances for her son's bride, and to realize that if she lets her alone she will soon be asking for the very recipes she scorns when she is first married. Certainly many young women enter their husbands’ famil with chips on their shaulde:;:s They make up their minds beforehand that they are not ntns to let mother-in-law put anything over on them. They are aggressive an bumptious and hard to get along with, but if mother-in-law has enough intelligence to let them severely alone they will get over that attitude, for you can't pick a quarrel with one who never interferes in your affairs, Of course, it requires superhuman patience and forbearance for a mother to see an incompetent young wife afflicting her son with bad cooking and wasting his money on foolish extravagance, but when she tries to set her daughter-in-law right she merely makes & bad matter worse. She antagonizes the daughter-in- law and loses her son. Hands off is the only motto that works with in-laws. L e DOROTHY DIX, EAR MISS DIX: What would a young man, who says repeatedly that he loves and wan's only you, think if you were to say to him, “Either lets get married or stay away from me?” Would that sound like & proposal of marriage from me? I love him, but.if he does not intend to marry me I want to try to forget him. M. 8. Answer: Go to it. Call his hand and -see where he stands. Find out whether he is bluffing or not. I have no patience with these men who hang around a girl year after year, monopolizing her time and winning her heart, but who never propose marriage. k vaguely of marriage, but they don't set a day for walking with the '};}l‘% s&eel nlm—'.u ¥hey draw romantic pictures of the little home that they will occupy together in some far-off future, but' they never take the girl around to look at some new row of bungalows or a cute little flat with a cunning kitchenstte just built for two. , dear girl, that no man is really in love with a girl unless he fl'flfi'&;‘" “ep xt’t‘\ye weddlfig day. A man wants what he wants when he wants it, and if he has any notion of marrying & girl at all, he is always and forever telling her out it. So put no faith in these dumb steadies, you six mm a week and gets mad if you look whatever that he has any matrimonial intentions. because your house is a nice free club and he enjoys your mother’s cooking. Any who lets & man hang around her year after year without being definitely {lx:: d to him hasn't enough sense.to come in out of the rain. She lets the marryl time of life go by. She lets this social deadbeat keep real marrying men away, and at the end he invariably grows tired of her and goes to some younger woma .more than she deserved for her folly. e DOROTHY DIX, ‘The fact that & man comes to see at another boy is no indication He probably comes just your soclety and he likes in. ‘And when she gets left she gets EET R Dm MISS DIX: T marrieda city girl and took her. 6 a small town to live, as that was where my business was. She was very discontented and miserable and persuaded me—nagged me, I might say—into going to the eity, where her family and friends were. But I could find no employment there, and 2s & baby had been born in the meantime and there were heavy bills I returned to my old home, where I can make a good living and am getting on my feet again. I have a comfortable home for my wife and child, but she refuses to budge from the city. Her mother has no room for her and does not want her. I cannot mkw}:heclg.ulunnotmn a living there, while I can make a good living in my home town. Please advise me what to do in this terrible situation. ANXIOUS HUSBAND. Answer: Refuse to give your wife another dollar until she comes back to the good home you have provided for her. Tell her that she can either come back to you and be taken care of or she can go to work and support. herself. If your wife cares more for the city and her family and friends than she does for you, she has no affection for you and will be & small loss. You are asking her to make no great sacrifice and to endure no hardships, because in these days even small towns have all the modern conveniences of living, and oftener far better society than the circle to which the city girl belongs. You can brace yourself up on this tinought: If you let her nag you into going to the city, where you will have to take a poorly paid job, if you get any at nfl, she will be just as fretful and discontented, and make you miserable by her reproaches because you do not succeed better. . S0 stay in the place where your business is and at least Prruerve your self- respect, as & man does not if he lets a silly wife pull and haul him around. DOROTHY DIX.

Don't Take All the Profit, Mrs. » & neighbor, owned a house in another part of town for many years. Numerous ofiers were made to her for the house, but she always declined. “Seems to me.” she used to say, “that if the house is worth $8,000 to them it must be worth more than that, else why would they offer me that amount?” As time went on the offers did in- crease in amount, and Mrs, —— went about boastful of her sagacity. None was going to take advantage of her sex and buy the house for a penny less than it was worth. ‘Then about two years ago interest in the house seemed to decline. Mrs. —— ascribed it to the cunning of real estate agents who were trying to intimidate her and pretend: there was no market for the house. Anyway, sh2 was confi- dent—the last price put on it had been ‘sxu.ooo, and she could get that any me. Shortly after Mrs. —— found herself short of cash, and found it urgently necessary to sell the house. She imme- diately consulted all of the agents and advertized it for sale as well. Offers straggled in, but most of them were characterized by Mrs. —— as being “ridiculously low.” Eventually she sold the house, pressed as she was by dire need, for $9,900. ‘What is the lesson to be learned? A just profit is all one should expect. By trying to squeeze every last cent out of & bargain one makes it unprofitable for any future buyer. If the buyer cannot see a prospective profit for 1t he will not buy. The woman referred to would have been in a better position had she sold Her mouey reinvested would have ap- preciated to almost twice that amount. Whether it is a house or a hound, take a fair profit when it is available, and don't begrudge the buyer his profit. By squeezing out all of the profit one may squeeze one’s self out of the bar- gain and out of an opportunity. Tongue in Sauce. Boll a large beef tongue until well done, skin and set aside.

Add two sour pickles, sliced, and three tablespoonfuls of capers and let cook slowly for another half hour. Pour the sauce over the tongue and serve. the house many years ago for $8,000. | day.

Blended richness... “DIFFERENT?” rom any other coffee HEY said that they had never drunk a coffee with so satisfying a flavor—those guests of the celebrited old Maxwell House in Nashville. *Good to the last drop,” one of them called it. They boasted at home of their experience and said no single coffee grown could match the rich and mellow flavor of Maxwell House Coffee. And they were right. For the flavor of Maxwell House Coffee was not an accident of nature—a single coffee flavor owing its characteristics to one type of bean and the soil in which it grew. It was a blend of many choice coffees with an interesting human story behind it. A fancier of ¢offee in the Old South—an expert well acquainted with all the choicest kinds and grades of coffee—dreamed a dresm of better coffee flavor and made his dream come true. Bred in the South’s tradition of good living, he had a talent for flavor. He toiled with the blend- ing together of many different coffees, as a musi- cian toils with tones or a painter works with pigments. At last, after months of experimenting, he produced a new and different coffee flavor of unusually rich and subtle harmony, which com- bined in one delicious drink the diverse “winy,” syrupy, mild and piquant flavors of the finest coffees grown in the tropics of many lands. This man, known as “the Old Colonel” to many of the devotees of Maxwell House Coffee, has lived to see the flavor he created become the favorite of the whole United States. For Maxwell House Coffee, named for the hotel where it won its first fame, today enjoys the widest distribution of any packaged coffee in America; itis pleasing more critical coffee drink- ers than any other coffee ever offered forsale. Your first trial of Maxwell House will show you why this is so. You will want your family and your guests to enjoy regularly this exceptionally good coffee. Wherever you live, your grocer has Maxwell House Coffee. It comes nicely sealed in a blue-wrapped tin which preserves all its rich, mellow fragrance and flavor. wpa e, S T b we s @A
