It did not separate in the weave as cheap crepe does, and it came in a wide range of colors. Those who can procure this sort of silk crepe today are fortunate.

And despite dismal cawing fo the contrary, the pictures of such beauties of the legitimate as Ann Harding and Ina Claire have caught on, and there are more ahead for them to make. Ina ire's first performance in talkies had a flair few of the gelatin gentry get into their stories. It was done with finesse, and Miss Claire un- derstands how to maintain a certain speech rhythm which doesn't leave the audience twiddling its thumbs and ask- ing whether she has forgotten her lines or has a cleft palate.

One mother says: I had some difficulty in keeping the bath mats clean, as my children would often forget to throw them over the tub when they were through with them, and then some one would come along and step on it with their dirty shoes. I found an old bedspread which I was going to discard, but instead I cut it into pleces about 60 inches by 18 and doubled it and bound it with bias tape, making a good, firm bath mat. I had enough of the old spread to make two such mats, and one I dyed blue and the other pink and gave one to each little girl, They are very careful with these and take great pride in keeping them clean.

In the same vein it is safe to predict that only the miracle of miracles will save John Gilbert for the feminine fans, I understand he is a woman-made fa- vorite. For that matter, I think most favorites, men and women, are women- made, because. men spend a large part of their time, outside of hours sacred to ball, going places to please some woman. John Gilbert's first talkie, “Olympia,” is not coming up to the test. The test, ladies and gentlemen, is box-office re- turns, It may be a shabby way to evaluate an artist, but it is our only method of knowing whether that artist has something for the big public. Movie salaries cannot be paid to hold little theater clienteles. John Gilbert has & strong personality on the screen— a he-man face, with rugged features; straight, commanding glance from eyes in which the zest for living is the domi- nant characteristic; an infectious smile; a powerful nose, which is the keynote, really, to & forceful screen actor. But his voice is light and shallow; not the “31 le accuse him of, at all; but a light voice, utterly at variance with the actor's physiognomy. He is one of the stars who would work with a vocal double to advantage. He probably will not, as a ridiculous objec- tion to this very intelligent means of overcoming such an awkward situation has swept the village. h_star sists on doing his or her own talking. ‘That is why some of the audiences insist on doing & bit of sleeping now and again.

EAR MISS DIX—Why does every woman I make love to expect me to marry her? It is perfectly dreadful. I never feel safe any more. I hardly ever am able to make love to @ girl two weeks at a stretch without her starting to talk about a bungalow with white curtains. I am much too young to be married. A wife would be & dreadful handicap to me now. Is there not any pleasant feminine companionship to be had without the threat of matrimony hanging constantly over my head? ‘TRIFLER. Answer: Oh, yes, there is plenty of pleasant feminine companionship to be had. These are business and professional women who have fitted themselves for some special work in which they are interested, and who make fine salaries. They feel that they do not care to give up good jobs for mediocre husbands, and that it is easier and pleasanter to work in an office than it is in a kitchen, so matrimony has no allure for them, especially as they see it illustrated in the cases of their sisters and their cousins and their aunts. ut the fact that a girl doesn't want to marry doesn't keep her from want- ing n?n:runne society. ‘she gets fed up on woman talk and there is small pep in running around to exclusive hen parties or going to the theater with another girl, and any self-respecting girl would never dance another step if she had to have one of her own sex for a partner. So these young women who would say “no” promptly and emphatically if you asked one of them to marry you, will slyd:yes" gladly enough if you will ask them to the theater, or to a restaurant or’ dance. Hence, if you yearn for feminine companionship which is absolutely safe, hunt up a successful business girl and make her your little playmate. She will have no designs upon you. The trouble with you has been that your approach was wrong. You didn't itch attentions the ht plane, ~ You should have labeled your atten- pi your n on the right pl Kol tons as without intention and so have avolded having them Of course, if you begin by making love to & girl and giving her the usual applesauce about her being the only woman in the world, and your never having loved before, and that the hours are weeks long that you do not see her, you cannot blame her if she believes you and begins to try to decide on whether she will have a church wedding or be married at home, and how she will dress the bridesmaids. A woman's vanity makes her credulous and she seldom has enough common sense to analyze the sweet nothings that men say to her and find out whether they mean anything, or are just merely hot air. She longs to be loved. She yearns to believe that some man has enshrined her in his heart, and so she falls for any kind of blarney. She dosen't realize that the lovemaking that isn't accompanied by a genuine bona fide proposal of marriage is merely a man's way of amusing himself and making things pleasant for the girl. It is because women practically always misunderstand love-making that it is & dangerous sport for men who do not want to marry Therefore, I advise ou to cut it out and to confine yourself to platonic friendship with girls who fm-u- do not wish to marry, but who are not averse to discussing the theory Phuu and manifestations.

LR DIAR MISS DIX—If your hair was frightfully thin and people noticed it, and you were horribly sensitive about it and dreaded standing up in the middle of a room at a party where people didn’t know you, and if your mother had made you self-conscious, because every time she looked at your head she sighed, whaat would you do? Would you tell your future husband and throw yourself on his mercy? G. L 8. A, Answer: I would buy me a transformation and make no. apologies about wearing it and I wouldn't tell my future husband anything about it. The chances are he will nevér notice it and anyway, a woman's hair and her complexion are s tery between her and her mirror, and her own trade secret that no one else has a right to know. If your future husband loves you with a love that is worth having, it doesn’t depend on your hair. It is for something deeper and stronger, and that has to do with your personality, your intelligence, and your sweetness of disposition. 1t all of your trouble is confined to your hair, you are lucky.

When schemes of hilarity were on foot nobody thought of count- Ing her.in. “She's such a dud.” One day Martha reached home in time to shelter herself from public scorn. Had she broken into the wild weeping and hysterical storming before the crowd she would have been cast into outer darkness for good and all. As it was, she just saved herself by rushing home and falling on Aunt Ellen's comforting bosom. “They never asked me to go to the class dance. I'm the only one. Nobody asked me, What'll I do?” “Why, Martha, nobody supposed you wanted to go.” “What right had they not to? I'm just as good as any of them.” “Of course. But you haven't behaved that way.” “What way?” “The dance way. Ellnu with your hair. It's a mop. You ave Dbitten your nails untll I'm ashamed to look at your hands. Just look at them. It will do you good to see what you have done to yourself, ‘You take no care of your clothes. You have on a good dress but it looks as though it had come straight from the rag bag. You took it off and threw it on a chair and then you sat on it. ‘Your shoes are never cleaned from the day you put them on until you throw them away, and that's oftener than it ought to be if you took decent care of them. You have nobody to blame for this but yourself. I'm mighty sorry for it all, but Martha, how could a boy ask a girl who looks as you look, who belleves as you do—to g0 to & clags dance.” Martha was angry. She stormed and raved and wept. Then she went to her room and calmed down. She had a long talk with Aunt Ellen and another one with mother. Next day she went to school quite a different appearing girl. She could not go to that dance of course. Her hands were in such bad shape, her skin was so When the doctor tells you to serve spinach to the children as many as Tour times a week, there do come times when you wish that grown-ups would eat spinach as well as children. Then you would not have to fuss with two vegetables, one for the adults and an- other for the children, Such thoughts as those were run- ning through Nancy's mind as she You never took cooked the spinach for Joan and wee ter. She and big Peter were having onions as the dinner vegetable. From the closeness of the spinach and the onions on the table, Nancy evolved an idea for a new dish. She used the large sweet Spanish or Bermuda onions. These onions were peeled and boiled whole in salted water. When they were tender, but still intact, she removed |them from the water and cut them into halves crosswise. She put a little butter on the cut side and then spread & spoonful of cooked, sieved or chopped spinach on top of each half. Over the llow, her manners so negative, but she went to the next one like a butterfly. A ])ig box of gumnleal sal¢ spinach she put thin shavin of a cooking cheese that melts easily. And over the cheese went the paprika and a dash of salt. These onions were then put in a baking dish in the oven and allowed to stay there until the cheese had melted and made funny little riv- ulets down the side of the spinach. ‘Then the vegetable was served. And big Peter ate his dressed-up spinach as easily and readily as wee Peter ate his plain spinach puree. (Copyright, 1929.)

A, OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRI ‘There are some girls who neglect themselves sadly. They do not take < exercise and good diet so their skins ! are bad. They do not drink enough water and they eat too many rich sweets. They read in a poor light and weary their s eyes. They toss their clothes about and look like scarecrows generally. Their classmates shun them and they become inward-looking girl, " than which nothing is worse for the mental health, It is wise and right to appeal to the beauty motive, the social interest, the boy motive, in such instances. Teach a girl to make herself beautiful, to keep her body fit, clean, well dressed, and her whole personality wil! respond. Use the strongest motive at hand, but get the girl to help herself. It is wonderful how a girl will strive to grow nails if she thinks they will make her hands appealingly lovely to some secretly adored boy. “You can't have nothin’ if there's women around.
