The fact that these light cotton ma- terials were comparatively inexpensive did not demean then because the lighter might be used.

Now is the time to think seriously of your Summer and Spring shoes. Now | is the time when your feet are going to feel badly, too, partly because Winter | shoes are heavier and because Winter | weather anyway is hard on the feet. What shall you choose? After a few | weeks, you're safe with light colors, and colored footwear is coming more and more into vogue. I saw a woman at the Ritz in Panis not long ago (where all | the smartest women gaiher in the after- | noons and where I was lucky enough to be 1ecently) with a deep red cloth suit a red crepe de chine underdress be. neath the fur-trimmed coat, beige silk | stockings and shaes of the same deep | red as her suit. This was completed by | a deep red felt hat. I saw a woman on the boat coming back who wore a vivid sort of green | broadcloth coat, a hat of green and gray and green shoes. Another, in Paris, had & costume of pale beige and beige- colored calfskin shoes. Another, in; New York, wore dark blue, just a shade | lighter than navy, suit, hat and shoes, | the whole, except the shoes, touched here and there with green. | With colored shoes, you can make up | the loveliest color combinations, In the | old days we merely used black or brown | and our feet were not a part of the costume as a whole, as they are now. This is not a suggestion that you wear very fancy shoes. But the great thing about the new footwear is that you can have color and yet a very sim- ple style. In fact, with anything as radically new as colored leather shoes you'll have to have plain styles and as little trimming as possible. Shoes and stockings to match each other are new and delightful and make the feet look most atractive.

To Insure Domestic Happiness Urges Preparedness for Wemen DorothyDix Women Will Not Look Where They Are Going or {Use Any Ordinary Caution to Prevent Accidents. REPAREDNESS chould be the motto of every woman. be the watchword of every wife and mother. Especially should it But it isn't. The average woman apparently never even has an apprehension that Old Man Trouble may be lurking somewhere behind the bushes on her road of life, and that he will get her it she doesn’t watch out. She sees where | thousands of her sisters have skidded over into the ditch and made wrecks of their happiness, but it doesn’l cause her to put on the brakes and drive carefully when she comes to negotiate the hairpin turns, | It is because women will not look where they are going or use any ordinary | caution to prevent accidents that there are so many feminine broken bones. They literally bring down upon their own heads misfortunes that never should have befallen them and then, when it is too late, they sct about trying to repair the damage they have done. That s why the world is full of women who are shedding tears over the | milk they have spilt, and futilely locking the door of the garage after husband | has gone joyriding. ']‘0 MO:! e oe e ST women the two things of most vital importance are keeping their husbands’ love and having their children turn out a blessing to them instead { of a curse, and that many of them do not solve the problem of how to do these things is proven by the number of divorces and the hoodlum youngsters. The failure of these women is due solely to their lack of preparedness. e their job too late, after the opportunity to make a success of it de by. They utterly disillusion a man, and then try in vain to casi a spell over him. They kill love and then attempt to breathe back life into its corpse. ‘They drive their husbands away from them and then ask how they ,can win them back again. Too late! Too late! Forever too late! There are thousands upon thousands of wives who never make one effort o hold their husbands’ affections until they suddenly realize that they have lost them. Then they beat it to the beauty shops, and begin counting their calories, and buy flapper clothes, and try to be chummy, but they are 10 or 20 or 25 or 30 years too late. No woman can conjure a man a second time. No ! woman can patch together the ideal she has shattered and make it whoie and | boautiful and desirable to a man once more, ‘There is just one sure way by which a woman can guarantee her hushand's faithfulness and be sure that when they are middle-aged he won't be running off after flappers and paying her to divorce him, and that is by preparedne: By beginning on her wedding day to vamp him and keep him vamped. Eve man is head over heels in love with the woman he marries or else he wouldn't | undertake to support her the balance of her life. and it is up to his wife to| keep him from ever falling out of love with her. She can do it if she will, Therefore, if a wife wants her husband to be a fireside companion, she must make her home the pleasantest place he knows to spend his time in. If she wants him to think her still young and beautiful, she must keep herself | clean and neat and attractively dressed, and never let him see her dirty and sloppy end slovenly. If she wants him to be chummy with her, she must be | companionable. interested in all he does and says. If she wants to make him | immune to gold-diggers, she must be a more adroit salve-spreader than they are. If she wants him to be still in love with her on their silver wedding dn}'.l she must have shown him every day of every year how much she loved him and how much she appreciated all he did for her, and bound him to her with | cords made of swectness and tenderness and understanding. . ) ND MAN who has this kind of a wife ever tires of her, but the woman who | wants to keep her husband must start on her program of preparedness at the altar. She can’t nag and fret and whine, and bawl a man out for everything | he does and doesn’t do, and henperk him, and put the children over him, and | vawn in his face when he tries fo tell her about his business for 30 years and | ‘To keep always in fighting trim and armed to the teeth with the newest | and mest lethal weapons is as arduous a task for a woman as it is for a country, | but it incures the safety of both. The prepared are not likely to be attacked. | and if they are they have their defense all ready. | It is not the happily married men who want to swap old wives for new. It is the disgruntled husbands whose wives bore them or nag them to death or starve them for affection. The only way to keep a huaband faithful is to keep yourself so attractive he will never know there is another woman. Obviously preparedness is the only wi n you can use in dealing with children. Children’s characters are formed the cradle. When their little minds are soft and pliable, their mother can mold them into any form she choeses, but after they have hardened into form it is too late. Yon can teach a baby to be courageous and bite back its ery when it gets hurt. You can teach it self-control. You can teach it obedience and reverence and respect. You can teach it habits of industry and thrift. You ean teach it to be honorable and honest and clean-minded. In so doing you can assure to yourself that your children will be an honor to you and a crown of glory to your gray hairs You cannot spoil and indulge them, and let them grow up lazy and indolent and self-indulgent, and without any moral stamina or backbone, without their becoming weaklings who wiil be failures in life and a disgrace to the parents who bore them. So that is why I say that preparedness should be the slogan of women. DOROTHY DIX. *Copyright, 1929.) WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Registered U. §. Patent Office.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Curly headed little Joan had reached the stage in her 4 years of age where she loved to use a pencil. Her grand- mother decided she must find some place where Joan could mark and draw to her heart’s content. Unless she had such a place she was going to take all the magazines in the library, any book or stray piece of paper and scribble all over it. She knew that it was better to give a child something which she could do than it was to keep following her about with nothing but “don'ts.” Accordingly, she asked Joan's grand- father to bring home some pencils with soft lead, some large sheets of inex- pensive paper and some cheap brushes: She hunted in the attic and found an old easel which Joan's Aunt Nancy had used when she was a child. Up in Joan’s playroom was a low play table with a surface which was not too good to be used. It could have thumb tacks put in, if necessary. There were no pieces of furniture so fine that Joan had to be continually cautioned. “Now don't mark that table top and don't scratch the furniture.” A large sheet of paper was laid on the table and on this Joan drew wonderful ladies and | idea.

Everyday Law Cases Within What Period Must Claim Be| [Filed In Bankrupt Estate to Share) In Dividends? BY THE COUNSELOR. When Harold Smith was adjudicated a bankrupt, Charles Dunlap, one of his creditors, believed that the bankruptey estate would pay practically nothing. Accordingly, he neglected to file his claim. Over a year after Smith had filed his bankruptcy petition, Dunlap learned that other creditors had received 50 per cent dividends on their obligations. Thereupon he hurried to prove his claim and to file it with referee in bankruptcy. The referee refused to al- low the claim, asserting that under the provisions of the national bankruptcy act claims against the esiate of a bank- | rupt must be proved within one year after adjudication. Upon the referee’s refusal to allow the claim, Dunlap filed a petition de- claring that he had becn misled as to the value of the assets by statements in the bankrupt's schedule and that, therefore, his omission to file his claim in proper t:me should be excused. The court refused to allow Dunlap's claim to share in the distribution of the assets, stating: “A claim against a bankrupt is not | ~ntitled to consideration unless proved | in accordanee with the provisions of the bankruptey act and unless it is filed within one vear after the adjudi- cation of the bankruptey.” Lessons in English BY W.

One good set of guest towels should last a lifetime. They are never used. From early infancy we are warned against that special row of towels in the bathroom. Gradually we come to have a fear and awe of them as some- thing quite outside our ken. The guest towel is among the relics of silver and pewter and linen that are reserved for special occasions. It is mot at all surprising that the members of the family should refrain from using guest towels. There are other towels for their use. The strange thing is that the guests never use the guest towels, Here is a good illustration of the force of early tnmln; and habit. Guests, after all, are human beings like ourselves who have guest towels at home. They have so conscientiously and scrupulously kept from using the guest towels at home that they dare not as guests use them in some other home.
