The straight side-pleated skirt that remained in favor for so many years is not particularly smart, but there are many ways of pieating skirts so as to produce the new flaring silhouette that is such an important part of the new mode. Wide box pleats are used in a variety of ways, often mounted on yolks so as to keep the necessary slender line about the hips, and often they are pressed out at the bottom in such a way as to give the new flare. “T have selected a navy blue suit for Autumn.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. “How can I make my little girl act nice to strangers? She has no man- ners. She runs and hides and refuses to speak when spoken to. All of this embarrasses me and makes me very un- happy.’ Your child may not be this way. Sh» may have been taught little parrot phrases which she utters at the right moment and fills her parents with pride; but if so, she is the exception. ‘The average child finds manners, as taught by most parents, both absurd and boresome. Why does she have to say, “How do you do?” when spoken to? It is easler to stand and stare. Be. sides, it makes her embarrassed to say this; adults look at her with such a sweetly anticipatory expression that 1% is more fun to disappoint them. Just because every one waits for her to make & certain speech, and it is all so stif and unnatural, there is a real encour- agement to say nothing. This always seems upsetting to adults. Being sociable and mannerly grow out of a real human need to be liked and to have companionship. Social graces are the outcome of these needs, and until children learn by their own experience that they are better liked and more popular when they treat people courteously instead of rudely, the manners which the parent paings on them are just an easily destroy veneer. It is far easier to teach a child by suggestion than by command; in the matter of manners, the last method is almost barren of results. To tell a child he must do a certain thing when brought into the presence of strangers, that he must speak certain words, are to court antagonism and re- fusal. He sees no reason for them. They are not echoes of his own emo- tions and so seem useless to him. But if he has always heard these phrases spoken when visitors come to, the house, if he is spoken to and then let alone so that his conduct, whether good or ill, has no particular stress laid upon it, when “thank you” and *| e” are unalterable parts of the situation of wanting and getting, the child will con- dust himself in the right way uncon- sclously. Manners should never be conscious. as they are certain to he when drilled into a person and brought to his attention when forgotten. Why should we have to remind a child that he has forgotten to say, “Thank you"? He should be so used to saying “thank you” when given anything that he does 1t entirely without embarrassment, al- most without thought. Later he will understand the reason for the thank- Tulness. If your child is timid and embar- rassed in the presence of strangers, it is more than possible that your de- mands upon her have been too great, so she prefers solitude rather than being made to express the words and phrases and act the part her mother has forced upon her. She has come to dislike strhngers because too much is expected of her. of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. ‘The serious side of most men is us- ually on the surface. Men whose pro- fessional aspect toward life is expected 1o be serious must of necessity be stern —at least from an external viewpoint. Police magistrates returning to their chambers frequently chuckle over re- marks made in the courtroom, which, | at the time, had to be regarded with judietal dignity. The late Judge MacDonald was one of the most amiable persons. A keen, shrewd observer and student of the un- fortunate brought before him, he dis- pensed justice with real human under- standing. His gray eyes often twinkled at some humorous remark by a witness. He was none the less efficlent because he had a sense of humor. The general manager of a large or- ganization took a fancy to one of the male employes who occupied a small office by himself at the far end of a room containing several scores of clerks. The sub- | ordinate became - fond of his chief, who was heartily disliked by most of the employes. The boss was a gruff, unylelding sort of fellow, whose su- preme joy seemed to be “bawling out” others. Out- side the office he was & club “cut- up.” While liking the glemploye men- tioned, he was careful to conceal the fact from the other office workers, | who, of course, didn't know the truth. ‘The fawsed worker was no less anxious than his chief to keep their friendship dark. His fellow workers would have characterized him as “teacher’s pet,” and the morale of the organization would have been impaired. Qccasionally during the day, the boss, seéRing a brief respite from his desk, wowd saunter through an aisle of the neral office in the direction of the iavored subordinate’s coop. He scowled menacingly as he threw open the door leading to the young man’s desk. The other clerks, not aware of the situation, felt sorry for the chap, be- lieving that he was about to receive a “panning.” The minute the door was closed, however, the chief relaxed and, #itting on a corner of the desk, told a couple of new stories he had heard at the club. In this way he relieved him- self of a tension which pressure of bus- iness imposed upon him. . The curious thing was that, as he left the favorite’s office, he would stand at the door and yell at him about some- thing the young man apparently was BEAUTY CHATS Protect Your Hands.

Dry the skin and rub with ice, ar if that is not available, bathe in cold water, dry and rub in a little more of the oil. Wipe off the excess oil after & few minutes. Do this every day.

This is impossible when a wife is nothing better than a househoid servant. Why teach men that their wives should peel potatoes and wash dishes while they have plenty of hirelings in their offices to do their dirty work? A man usually has more self-respect than to want his business partner to act as janitor and do the work around the building, yet when he gets home from the office he wants a nice hot meal with his wife waiting on him as if she were some inferior. I believe that the busines of running a home should be put on a par with the business of running an cffice. INDEPENDENT WOMAN. Answer: You are quite right in asserting that when you marry you expect to be your husband's partner in the business of life. That is the ideal relation- ship between a married couple. But your end of the partnership will be running the home, providing your | husband with good, nourishing, well-cooked food, keeping his clothes in order, | giving him a clean, comfortable place in which to rest after his day's work is over. And, unless you are luckler than most women are and marry & rich man, | you will yourself have to do the labor this requires. Statistics show that more | than three-fourths of the houses in this country are servantless. The main dish was a picture. Nancy had used individual casseroles and lined each one with a strip of bacon. Then into the casserole she had dropped | an egg.

She becomes an executive who transmits her orders through her butler and housekeeper to her stafl of « servants. She doesn't haggle with the butcher over soup meat or bake the bread or polish up the handle of the big front door with her own hands any more than her husband sweeps cut his office or runs his own errands. But unless you marry a millionaire you will not find yourself at the head | of a big establishment. You will find that you have a bungalow or a three or | four room apartment. You will not have many servants to do your bidding. You will be your own maid. And so the sooner you get over the idea that there is anything degrading to a woman in doing her own housework the better for you. T have never been able to understand why women considered their work in the home less honorable than their husbands' work in office or store or factory. ‘Why should it be a master'’s work for a man to make flour but a slave’s work for a woman to bake bread out of that flour? Why should a woman esteem herself any more of a servant when she works in her kitchen than she did when she worked in an office? As a matter of fact, she is freer and more independent in the kitchen because she doesn't have to punch any time clock, she has no boss over her, nobody to reprimand her if she stops to gossip with a neighbor or puts on her hat in the midst of her morning’s work to run out and get a bargain she has seen advertised in the morning paper. Also, in these days there are very few homes that are not equipped with all sorts of labor-saving electrical devices so that the woman who works from sun to sun and whose labor is never done merely shows herself inefficient and a bad manager. Therefore, woman's domestic slavery is simply an attitude of mind. It does not exist in reality unless the individual woman so ordains it. Inasmuch as the predestined career of the vast majority of women is to be home-makers, it is nothing short of tragical that they have this same dis- torted viewpoint of their work that you have. They think of their work with contempt, as menial labor, as sordid drudgery. Something that it is not worth- while even to learn how to do well. That is why women will make coffee and boil eggs for 40 years without ever learning how to get a breakfast that is fit to eat. And it is because women have no pride in their work that they have no joy in it and why they complain of the monotony of housework. All work is ‘monotonous. go0ds or type & Jetter or build a locomotive and you can put just as much variety to making soup and experimenting with new effects in sauces as you can in painting a picture or pulling off a big business deal, 8o, my dear young lady, try to get this point of view on domestic work before you get married. ‘Then you won't find housework llner‘,.!mv. & gay adven- ture.

Psychometry is, of course, a supersti- tion. But it might make a good parlor game some time when the evening drags and sensible conversation begin to bore the guests. ‘Those who practice psychometry are specialists in history. They are able, they say, to pick up almost any com- mon object, and by merely touching it tell the whole history of that object. 1; psychometer can take any photograph and tell (?) the char- acter of the one who sat for the photo- graph, Or he m‘fin"'“ a rare coin and by merely handling it tell you where it has been during the rounds of its circulation. Some can even go so far as to tell you the names of prominent people who once owned it. Valuable as all such psychometric g e L lcance s art (?) of diagnosing diseases merely touching the sufferer.

If will be if you do not find a profitable market for it. 2 There are two reasons why rare books, manuscripts, autographs, paint- ings, antiques and like things are picked up for the proverbial “song.” The first reason is that the possessors do not recognize their value. The second rea- son is that they do not know where to sell them in order to obtain full value or top price. We know of one woman with some them at home for a fraction of their value, because their existed no market for them. Instead of accepting a need- less sacrifice she awaited a favorable time of the year, shipped her stuff to a reputable auction firm, and realized handsomely on her things.

Any one with fine pieces of antique fur- niture can get into touch with the proper facilitles for marketing them simply by following the news of the sales and by studying the periodicals devoteed to such things.

The es- sential thing is to have the mattress and springs very comfortable. ‘The room in which the bed as shown is placed has pale-green woodwork and walls, a fawn rug, ivory silk gauze glass curtains, apricot taffeta overdrap- eries trimmed with lavender binding, and the spread and bed upholstery is of apricot ground flowered chintz, the run of headboard and feet being painted lavender.
