WOMAN’S PAGE. Lingerie Collars and Cuffs BY MARY MARSHALL. It is an interesting fact that even though the most influential dressmakers here and abroad have featured lingerie collars and cuffs on dark dresses women are rather loath to adopt the fashion.

In the midst of their supplications the rain began to fall, and the meeting was turned into a general Thanksgi ing. Thereafter Thanksgiving became an annual affair for all the colonies, proclamations being declared by the various governors. During the Revolutionary War, the several colonies in America began to develop a feeling of unity as a nation. ‘The newly established Congress of the United States proclaimed the annual Thanksgiving dey. After the war it seemed to revert to a matter of local celebration. In 1817 New York State began the custom of making Thanks- giving an annusl festivity. a pro-lama- tion being declared by -the governar. One by one the several States adonted the custom. In 1864 Abraham Lin- coln made the first presidential procla- mation, which has now become an an- residential duty. Such is the history in brief of Thanksgiving. But what does the day mean? Un- doubtedly from the standpoint of in- dividual psychology, it has about as many meanings as there are individuals | to be thankful. From the standpoint of group psychology, it of course sym- bolizes “group attitudes.

You have to stick to il to make a success of it. When I married my husband promised to cut out sowing his wild oats, A few times he brcke his promise, but 1 stuck to my ain, determined to win out, and I have. He has learned his lesson and we are getting along fine, but if I had married with one eye on him and one eye on the divorce court our marriage would have gcne on the rocks long ago. What do you say? MRS. E. E. Answer—TI say that you are & good sport, and that if there were more wogen like you we wouldn’t have so many divcrees, 5o many broken homes and so many { poor little half-orphaned children. Men and women get married thinking that everything is going to be lovey- dovey and that their husbands and wives are going to act like pin-feathered angels. Then they find out that marriage is the most trying relationship, and full of more aggravaticns than any other situation on earth, and that they are married to human beings instead of saints and martyrs, and they don’t try to | adjust their difficulties and to get along together, They just throw up their hands and quit cold. We are always hearing that the present generation is decadent and that husbands and wives are not the noble, faithful creatures that they used to be. Which is all tcmmyrot. Humap nature doesn't change. Grandpa was just as contrary and cranky and grouchy and stingy and as hard to get along with as grandson is. Grandma had temper and nerves and nagged and was selfish ana unreasonable, even as granddaughter is. 3 But divorce was a disgrace in, grandpa’s and grandi day. It was simply onme of the things that respectable people didn't do, and grandpa and grandma knew that they had to stick it but until one or the other of them died, so they made the best cf their bargain, and put up with each other, and made concessions, and adapted themsélves to each other, and In the, end made reasonably happy homes. At the very first disappointment some persons rush off to the divorce court. They don't make the slightest hohest effor¢ to try to get along together and to make & success of their marriege. They haven't the patience to wait for things to better themselves. They don't try to find out what the matter is with themsglves, or their partners’that keeps thelr marriage from being & going concern, They den't seek the cauge of thelr failure and try to remedy it. They don't take that attitude toward any business or profession in which they engage as & life work. They don't expect a business or a store to pay dividends from the start. They know that they must put in years of hard work to establish it on a paying basie. They dcn't go into bankruptcy at the first hint of trouble. They stave it off as long as possible. For well they know that many & business that has been on the verge of failure a hundred times makes a fortune for those who had the grit just to stick on. And it is the same way with mairiage. There is hardly one that couldn't be saved if elther the husband or the wife had the courage to carry on through the first years of discouragement. DOROTHY DIX. . . EAR DOROTHY DIX—I have been married four years. My .wife says she loves me and T want to love her as I did at the beginning, but she is killing my affection for her by her slovenly appearance. I was reared in a home of refinement and never saw my mother cr sister untldy, and a woman who is careless about Mer dress is abhorrent to me. My wife knows how I feel about this, and I have tried to impress on her how important it is for her to be well groomed and how mortified I feel when I have to present a slcuchy-looking woman to my friends as my wife, out it does nogood. Don't you think that if she really loved me she would try to make herself attractive instead of | repulsive t0 me? DISGUSTED HUSBAND. Answer—The trcuble with your wife is not that she loves you less, but her own ease and comfort more. Slovenliness is invariably the result of laziness. ‘There was a time when women felt that when they once got a husband they had him for keeps, and that they couldn't lose him if they tried, and that they cculd let themselves go and get as fat and blousy, and go as slouchy as they pleased. Those were the days when women came to breakfast with their hair done up in curl papers, and with sofled-wrappers on, and floppy slippers, andkcon!ldered their comfort instead of their looks. But they had a rude awakening. Despetate cases require desperate remedles, poor disgusted husband, and so I think the best cure for your wife is to throw a good scare into her. Tell her that you are ashamed to be seen out with her, and that you are going to take out some good-looking, well-grocmed womam. DOROTHY DIX. ¥ (Copyright, 1920.)

Dear Miss Leeds—Will you please tell me how a very tall woman in her fifties should dress? What colors can 1 wear besides black and navy. I am| so tired of them. My hair is dark brown mixed with gray, and I have gray eyes and & pale complexion. (2) How long should my skirts be? (3) How should my hair be worn? My face is long, forehead broad, and I have| what they call a cowlick. Would a| stmi-shingle suit me? (4) I am 5 feet 11 inches tall, bust 42 and hips 44 inches. What should I weight? (5) | How can I prevent a double chin and bagginess under the chin? MRS. V. B. Answer—The keynote of your clothes should be dignified simplicity. A you: girl can often wear inexpensive ma- terials and look well groomed, but not the tall, mature woman. Her clothes must exrrens the elegance of simplicity and style in good materials. Poise is of great importance, and correct car- riage when sitting, standing or walking, which will lend distinction and beauty. Tallleurs are becoming for your type, and the present styles of gowns and skirts, which have a tendency to flare and are interrupted by godets, are espe- cially becoming to a tall woman. In all of your clothes insist on perfect fitting and tailoring. Give special at- tention to details and accessories. You may wear chestnut brown, seal, dull old blues, pastel tints, grape, plum, wine shades, English green, wild rose, soft brownish reds, warm gray, pale buff. ‘When you wear black or navy blue it should be relieved with yoke, collar or vest of flesh, ecru, buff or deep cream. (2) Skirts vary in length at the present time, but the length for the| individual depends entirely upon the | length of the leg from the hip. A woman with long legs needs to bring| her waistline lower and wear her skirts in proportion. For morning and sports wear, about three or four inches below the knee is considered correct; for afternoon wear, about six inches below the knee, and for evening, party or dressy occasions, the uneven hemlines are very popular. The evening gown may be ankle length in the back and several inches shorter in front. (3) Your hair would be becoming ‘worn rather low on the forehead, part- ed on the right or left side and ar- ranged in soft, wide waves, A shingle is permissible for a woman of your age, but for a tall woman a French twist or hair colled on the nape of the neck is more becoming. If your hair is shingled, however, make quite sure that the neck is well groomed and that no straggling wisps of hair show. (4) Your ideal weight would be- tween 164 and 170 pounds. Your bust and hip measurements are excellent. It is better for a woman of your age to be a few pounds underweight than overweight. (5) To prevent the double chin and bagginess of the neck and throat mu: cles practice correct posture when si ting, standing or walking. Take a few neck exercises regularly and give “Three times when a fella don't care if the street lights are a bit weak. Just so the posts are strong enough.” (Copyright, 1929.)

Build up your health in general by wise diet and sufficient exercise out of doors. Use a reliable liquid shampoo to wash your hair at regular intervals. Be sure to masage your scalp and brush your hair for at least 10 minutes every day. Use a stimulating hair tonie two or three times a week. LOIS LEEDS, Colors and Face Powder, Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I have medium skin and dark brown eyes and hair. ‘What are my colors? (2) What shade of face powder and rouge should I use? (3) I am 26 years old and 5 feet 43 Inches tall. What should I weigh? (4) Is finger-waving injurious to the hair? M H. R. Answer—(1) Créamy flesh, dull rose, peach, dull orchid, dark red, wine shades, Burgundy, pink, violet, garnet, ruby, warm taupe, dull yellow and me- dium blue, sherwood green, reseda and bronze green, deep cream, black trim- med with bright color. (2) Rachel or medium brunette face powder with a touch of medium rose rougd. (3) You should weigh between 127 and 137 pounds. (4) No, finger-waving will not injure the hair in any way.
