The “ensemble” shower is new and favored. The word applied in this con- nection has nothing to do with the wardrobe, unless it chances that the shower itself is of personal apparel. Consistency, even uniformity, are the teatures stressed in the ensemble shower | which distinguish it from the random affair of earlier vogue. A motley array !of unrelated pleces, either of china, glassware, kitchenware or lingerie, is thus avolded. A delightful conspiracy has been afoot With the object of avold- ing such error and promoting a gift which has more the stamp of perma- rence and value upon it. The increase in value of a shower so arranged is not an increase in expense to the individuals giving it, but a pool- ing of funds with the object of making a consistent choice of matching pleces of glassware, related pleces of china for the table, perhaps even a set of plates of uniform pattern of which each donor to the shower gives one as a personal contribution. In making such a uniform and valued gift the fun in presentation need not be dampened by having the fact im- mediately known that the gifts go to make up a set. ‘There can be one or |two “joke” gifts inserted made of | hideous cheap ware to throw the party |into gales of laughter in seeing the | recipient try to looked pleased over such | unusually ugly gifts. ~Then the truth |can come out, that they are just | “blinds.” | "A really pretentious shower of mod- | erate cost consists of glass fruit dishes | | and fruit knives with handles matching | | the color of the glass. From the bride {must be expected a penny for each | knife, according to the old custom, and | this may be done in pretense of selling | her the contents of the packages. (Copyright, 1929.)

Before long I expect to see in the | papers something like this: Angelina Ordunarie, once famous as Miss Talla- | hassee and the author of a letter telling | why she preferred Fandagoes to breath- controllers, died here today of angina pectoris. Miss Ordunarie was in the act of reaching for a Fandango, which she maintained was essential for success in the beauty contest business, when the datal seizure came. Leading physicians | declare that while Miss Ordunarie’s case | many seem unique, it is the consensus {©f medical opinion that tobacco kills as jmany women as men today. In his recently published monograph on angina pectoris Dr. Harlow Brooks |gays he never knew a patient afflicted | “with tobacco angina to die, and this ‘author attempts to distinguish a to- i bacco angina or heart pain from exces- Jeive smoking from true angina pectoris, which, as most people know, iz often a tal disease. Dr. Brooks asserts that e pain of tobacco angina subsides ithin a few days if the patient refrains from the use of tobacco; whereas, in ! true angina, if the patient is a tobacco | fhabitue, giving up the tobacco fails to Fbring relief. This, however, is only a ignatter of professional opinion, and Dr. “Brooks gives no reason for his skepti- | cism about the power of tobacco to cause true angina pectoris. Yet he asserts that when a patient is suffering with the pain of tobacco angina, exposure | to the fumes of tobacco, either by smok- ing or by mere inhalation of smoke produced by another, ordinarily much intensifies the suffering. There, victims dren over 8. BRADY, M. D. that it is useless to cut down on the tobacco consumption when the patient | | has tobacco heart. The tobacco must | be absolutely withdrawn from the pati- |ent, or the patient from the tobacco, whichever may seem the easier way. In the case of the woman mentioned by Dr. Moschowitz, it would seem the lady was a—well, she smoked 20 to 30 cigarettes daily. She was seized sud- denly with heart pain, and she was able to leave her bed after a week or so, but the anginal attacks did not cease until eight weeks after the cessation of smoking. I am publishing these facts for the good of every reader's health. I have often urged, and I now repeat, that the temperate use of tobacco is safe for most adults, and temperate means a smoke or two in the leisure hour after the day’s work, play or fighting is over. That's the way to get the greatest en- joyment out of tobacco—if you think there is joy in it—and still keep your health. (Copyright, 1929.)

NANCY PAGE Big Dots, Little Dots, Polka Dots, Dot Curtains | BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. A visit to the curtain departments were good for Summer curtains. They came in all sizes from wee to coin dots almost of silver dollar size. 2N [/ Nancy did not want to put much money into Summer hangings since she knew she would need a complete new outfit for their new home in the Fall. She found a dotted Swiss in white with yellow dots which she used for windows in the attic dormer and also for the apron of the dressing table in that room. A scalloped band of white organdy finished the curtains which ‘were run on rods both top and bottom and tied in the middle with white organdy. On the apron of the dressing table she appliqued a yellow flower with green leaves leaving a small opening unsewed at top of flower. This little pocket held a hair net or a cap used to hold waves in place at night. For another little room she used dot- ted percale in white with dots of blue. She used a blue percale for the plain straight valance and as edging for the three tiers of curtain. This percale was fringed for about one-half inch as a finish. The curtains could have been made in three sections and hung on three separate rods, but Nancy made these by using the curtain full lengtiy for the base and then nppyl;‘l(r two sections as shown. The applied sec- tions were like ruffies held in place at the top but falling loose and free at the bottom. Nancy could do this in this particu- lar room because she had no shades at the window and she could pull the cur- tain across to hide the glare of the sun. Since the material was hanging three- the top it acted as splendid of pepper the top. ADVERTISEMENT THIS SHIRT DOESN'T LOOK rber.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAR MISS DIX: I love & girl with all my heart, but I am afraid to marry her because every one who is acquainted with her mother's marital life warns me against it. They say that when her mother was young she was just as sweet-looking, shy and attractive as her daughter is now. ‘She married a fine young man who did everything in his power to make her happy, but she ruined his life by her crazy jealousy and dictatorlal disposition, and when she finally drove him from her she took his property, which he had inherited from his parents, and she separated him from his child. In desperation I asked my sweetheart what she thought of the way her mother had done and she did not disapprove of her mother. With everybody warning me loved, I don't know what to do. ainst marrying the only girl I have ever PUZZLED YOUNG MAN. Answer: In judging what sort of wife a girl will make it is generally pretty safe to go by the mother, for there you have the double effect of heredity and environment. In such a case the most important thing is environment. The mother's influence has been paramount with the girl all of her life. She has formed her character. She has given her her point of view. She has fixed in her mind certain ideals of conduct that are practically unchangeable, If the mother is broad-minded, just and tolerant; if she has always treated her husband with courtesy, consideration and kindness, and has had respect for his right to individual freedom, then you may be very sure that in 99 times out of 100 her daughters will treat their husbands in the same way and make the sort of wives whose husbands rise up and call them blessed. i But where the mother is narrow and bigoted and jealous and fault-finding and where she is determined to rule or ruin and to dominate her husband in every particular of his life, a man is well advised to avoid her daughters because the chances are overwhelmingly great that they will treat their husbands as their mother has treated hers and will henpeck them to death. For in their very cradles their mother has implanted in the girls’ minds a distrust of men and & belief that there is no honor nor faith in them. She has inoculated them with the virus of jealousy and it runs through their veins like a bitter poison that makes them take a jaundiced view of everything their husbands do. She fosters a sex antagonism that makes a girl have a sort of instinctive hate of all men, even her own husband, and she brings her daughters up to be tyrannical and overbearing in all their dealings with men. There is one exception to this rule that such a woman's daughters make bad wives and that is—if the mother's injustice to her husband rouses the antagonism of the girl and makes her espouse her father's side. I have known | this to happen and a girl to be so incensed at the way her mother treated her father and so sorry for him that it made her veer to the opposite extreme and be the most thoughtful and considerate of wives. In your case this does not seem to have happened. The girl appears to think it right that her mother should have tortured her husband with her jealousy and robbed him of his property, so I cannot see much chance of And aside from the girl herself, I should think a long time about acquiring the girl you will get the mother as a wedding gift. .o EAR DOROTHY DIX: T am a girl of 21 and last June I married a young man of 24. My husband was obliged to leave high school when he was very young and at the time I met him he was working 10 hours a day for $25 a week. I convinced him of the necessity of having a better education and for the past three years we both have been going to night school and he has bettered | himself to the extent that he is now in an office where there is opportunity for advancement and he is getting $35 & week. And we plan mext season for him to take a course in business administration which will assw®e his future success DOROTHY DIX. We have been able to do all of this by my retaining my ition as tary to a lawyer. If I had not done it my husband would have hlx:iosm cnnfln:le::e!.l'r]‘.s H I feel that I can do more for my husband and myself by working | than by staying at home. I enjoy the work, but, of course, expect to give it up when we h:" children. Now the only trouble is with my mother-in-law, who feels very badl; the neighbors talk about my working. What do you think? ENEBGE'TICYEib;fI!E‘I.M Answer: Well, Energetic Elsie, I think you are doing exactly right under the circumstances, and that you would be very foolish to let the idle talk of your neighbors block the plan you have so wisely laid out for your future. Tell your gabby neighbors that if they will watch you you will give them something to talk about a few years hence, when your husband is a successful man who has risen from a humble job to & position of importance and you have your own home and are sitting pretty on the sunny side of Easy street. And all because he had an ambitious, industrious and forward-looking little wife who was right behind him pushing him forward all the time and who was willing to work to help him. Don’t put too much stress on what people say. No matter what you do they are going to talk about you and discuss your affairs and they are going to criticize you and you couldn't please them to save your life, so what's the use in trying? It is far better to please yourself and just let their tongues wag. Try to make your mother-in-law see that she is looking at the subject from the old-time point of view and that conditions have so changed that it is obsolete. In her day not many women worked outside of the home and when they did they mostly had menial positions for which they received little pay, and naturally, then, every man hated to have his daughters or his wife go into business. ¢ But now practically every woman is taught some trade or profession just as much as a matter of course as a boy is and nearly every girl goes to work for the experience, even if she doesn't need the money, just to prove that she can be self-supporting and because the woman of brains finds it more interesting to do something useful and profitable than to spend all of her time gadding around M:'plrfleu;. & 1s0, mn'l;ly wom‘en {gve t{heh’ wl:)lrll(.l just as & man loves his work, and refuse ive up the professions for which they have spent themselves just because they get married. v T So this has taken all the stigma off the working woman amd the fact that a woman keeps on with her job after marriage is no reflection on her husband and no indication that he can’t support her. It just shows that he is broad-minded and intelligent enough to be willing to grant his wife the same liberty of action that he has and that they are mutually agreed that it is the best thing for her to do. = S DOROTHY DIX. . EAR MISS DIX: I married a man whom I love because he was the only one who had ever dominated me. caveman and did not resent it even when he gave me a slapping while we were engaged for lying. But last night, while I was-at a bridge party, I called him up to his office and told him I would not be home and for him to get his own supper and when I did get home at 10 o'clock he threw me down on the couch and whipped me with a razor strap until, between sobs, I had to promise not to do it again. I told my mother and father I was coming home, but they told me to be a good sport and make the best of it. But am I not justified in leaving him, even though he gives me plenty of money and clothes? SORRY WIFE. Answer: I have always suspected that cavemen were more fascinating in fiction than they were in fact and that a he-man who would grab you by your back hair and shake you until your teeth rattled was pleasanter to read about than he would be to live with. I am not strong for wife-beaters, but it does seem to me that if a man is ever justified in taking the razor strap to his little sweetie, it is when she stays out at a bridge game and lets !(l:; w?knfh::;w get cold.
