The new skirts really are duite easy to make. The important thing is to secure a good fit across the hips and this should be done even though it may require considerable fitting and fussing. The smartness of the skirt really de- pends on this more than anything else. The white flannel sketched today might be worn with a blouse of dotted swiss — white swiss with light-blue dots—with & ruffie of the swiss down the front. Or it might be made to go with one of the new handkerchief linen blouses, which are to be had in | a variety of light pastel tints in most of the shops. Add a straight jacket of velveteen, silk crepe or flannel and you would have an ensemble suitable for a dozen different occasions. Natural shantung is & good material to choose, because it may be washed and ironed with such excellent results. If a pleated model is chosen, the pleats may be basted in place while the skirt is being washed and ironed. (Copyright, 1929.)

How much are their mothers to blame for the jass life of the girls who and neck and drink and go on wild parties- and sit out in parked automobiiés with boys until nearly morning? This is a problem that an unofficial jury of women in Chicago has been appointed to solve after an automobile accident, in which a boy was killed when a car filled with roistering making whoopee skidded and turned over and at which, at the coron: t, a girl, who had been in the m crowd, testified that they had been only doing what all the other young people did. Just having a good time and drinking bootleg hooch. And, of course, she drank. A girl had to if she wanted to have dates. No boy would come the second time to see a girl who didn’t drink. And she wouldn't bo;h:rflwnh a boy who didn't carry a flask on his hip. 8he would consider him a flat tire, Tt was these cynical revelations from the lips of an 18-year-old girl that made the investigators sit up and take notice and ask where are the mothers | and what are they doing while their wandering girls are out at night hitting it up with boys whose names they do not even know, and how far should the | mothers be held accountable for what these girls do? Of course, one’s first impulse is to hold the mothers entirely responsible for their daughters’ conduct. The girl baby comes into its mother's hands a tiny bundle of plastic clay that she can mold as she will. She has those first few years of a child's life in which, as behaviorists tell us, and as we all know from our personal experience, the life pattern of conduct is set, when we form the habits, when we have the id and the imj stam into our consciousness, that determine the sort of men and women we are going to be and that guide us in everything we do. ‘The mother, then, in those early, formative years can teach her little girl to be modest, to hold her honor above her life, to be careful of her good name. She can teach her self-control. She can teach her to ct her womanhood, and if she does teach her these things there is not one nce in & thousand, no, not one chance in ten thousand, that such a girl will ever depart from the principles of decency she has learned at her mother's knee. She will be better :}I:Apem,r:led by her own sense of right than she would'be by all the duennas in e world. Unfortunately, most mothers take it for granted that their own daughters are made of some sort of superior clay so that they will not be tempted to do the things that the girls do who get themselves talked about and, therefore, they spend more time curling Mamie and Sadie’s hair and up they do in trying to cultivate a high ethical sense in them. It is safe to say that the average mother devotes far more thought to beautifying her daughters’ bodies than she does to beautifying their souls. Also, mothers are so crazy for their daughters to be admired and sought after by men and to have good times that only too often they shut their eyes to how they get them. It is only the exceptional mother who ever tries to find out nything about the boys that her girls go with. They get such a kick out of ragging that Mamie and Sadie have half a dozen dates for every night that they with rotters and roues. And if boys won't come to see girls who will not pay for their society and for their every attention by permitting personal liberties, mother simply turns her back on amorous scenes that would have made her blush her head off when she was young. And if boys won't take girls out who have to punch the home time clock at any decent hour, mother may lie awake in an agony of anxiety and apprehension waiting for Mamie and Sadie’s return, but she leaves the front door on the latch so that they can get in without waking up father. ‘Why, not long ago the mother of two pretty and clever young girls, who are modest, who neither smoke nor drink and who will not stand for being pawed over, told me that when she saw her daughters passed over for girls not half so attractive, but who hed no reserve and who actually bre about getting :huud.fl;lll: ‘l;dlt like telling her daughters simply to go the t and do as the er L Certainly as long as mothers feel that a few dates with college sheiks and drug-store cowboys is worth the price of & girl's soul and that it is better for her to stay out at night until she is a scandal in the neighborhood than for her to sit at home, they are no moral restraint upon their daughters. On the contrary, they are accelerators rather than brakes on their girls who are starting out on the wild pace, for their teaching, that is implied if not expressed, is: “Get the attentions of men properly and conventionally if you can. But get them.” Of course, the mothers say in their own defense that they can’t control their daughters, that Mamie and Sadie simply flout them and defy them and tell them that it is none of their business where they are going n are coming home when they start out in an automobile with a youth whom mother has never seen before. But whose fault is that but the mother’s, who has not reared her daughter to respect and obey her? You can't start to enforce discipline on an 18-year-old girl. Tt is just exactly 17 years, 11 months and 27 days too late, but you can bring up any girl in the way she should go, and when she is 18 or 28 she will not depart from it. 8o, I think we may justly blame ‘weak mothers, the indifferent mothers, the lazy mothers, the mothers who are so anxious for their ters to have good times and dates that they are willing to buy them at any w thgx‘?flt DO D modern girl, b (Copyrient, 1029.)

It always seems curious to me to find that a great many mirrors are considered a vanity. To my 3 the only possible way to find out your own fault is to see them through a looking glass. Therefore the more looking glasses in your house the more frequently are you reminded that you stand or sit badly, that your skirt wrong, or the way you do your hair a disgrace. For the last opinion of yourself that you can trust is that of your family or your friends. The ideal dressing table has a mirror 80 long that it gives you a clear reflec- tion from gyour head to your feet. The best, lmlgmant is to fasten the mir- ror to the wall, and place on either side of it a pair of tables or a g:lr of small chests with drawers, so t all your toilet articles are within easy reach, and also the ugly ones well out of sight. Small chests and tables like these can be had in the unpainted fur- niture department and can be wwfl any color you want.

Bar- num's big circus attraction? r—————9 | In Durance Vile “A plutocrat has gone to jail” we lately heard the newshounds yell; “not all his countless stacks of kale could save him from a prison cell.” And there were people here and there who found much solace in the news; “It's good to see & millionaire in training with the convict crews. He has no butler at his call, no chef to cook his lunch at noon; he leans against the prison wall and eats cheap goulash with & spoon. He has no matiress wide and deep on which to rest when tired, distraught; all through the night he has to sleep upon a rusty iron cot. The luxuries he long has known he'll not encounter for & time; his bedroom floor is clammy stone, his window’s barred and thick with grime. He has to eat the cheapest chow, the poorest grub a cook can swing; the law is vindicated now and we should ‘whoop and dance and sing.” I think it strange how people gloat upon the suf- (& fering of men who for a time have lost their goat, but who'll recover it in. It's to vindicate the law, to see it standing on its pins; to know a rich man’s eating slaw in explation of his sins. It's good to know that Uncle Sam can put a plutocrat in jail, as well as one who steals a ham or peddles boose or robs the mail.
