WOMAN’S PAGE. Smart and Wearable Sweaters BY MARY So fong as women retain their devo- tion to outdoor sports sweaters of some sort will not go out of style—or perhaps I should say, so long as it is fashion- &ble for women to devote some time to BRIGHT RED TURTLE - NECK SWEATER WORN WITH BLACK AND Wfllg TWEED SKIRT AND BLACK golf, tennis, skating and other outdoor sports. There is no type of blouse that takes the place of the sweater in cooler weather. It provides warmth without weight and gives protection from wind without impeding perfect freedom of motion. So if tnu are interested in the fash- dons of day you should by all means visit the sweater department of your favorite store or pay a visit to the spe- cialty shop where sweaters are sold. You will find these comfortable, wear- able smart garments in a surprisingly wide variety and of surprisingly low cost.

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. The question of how one shall handle the problem of the “demanding” neigh- | bor child is a vital one., Few of us es- | cape it. The neighbor child comes over | to play. We are anxious that our child | shall learn to be unselfish and a good | host. The result is that we make our | child a martyr to the child who wants everything he sees and can't be pacified unless he has it. | Mrs. 8. 8. L. is the victim of an acute | case of neighberitis. She says: “My lit- tle girl of 31, years is good as gold | when she is afone, but when the small | neighbor child comes to play they fight | like cat and dog. The mother of the | playmate will e my girl's toys away from her and give them to her daugh- ter, so she won’t cry. When my daugh- ter takes her nap this child “stays in the house and plays with .her things When I take my little gm over there |I notice that the neighbor puts her | child’s toys away so my girl won't ask for them. Should I teach my child to fight and bite back when this child does it to her?” | When children arrive at the fighting and biting stage it is time to separate them. If you do this consistently, say- ing: “If you can't play together nicely you had better play alone,” and always make a valiant struggle to play without fighting. In your efforts you should have co- operation frm the neighbor. There must be a mutual give and take. Let the neighbor child bring her own toys to play with and avold friction. Your daughter isn't helped to be unselfish un- less sharing her is a personal joy, not one that is forced upon her. Learn- ing to be unselfish is a long, slow process. this child's mother.

CABIN SYRUP | DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Can a Girl's Disposition Be Tried Out Before Marriage?—Dancer as a Wife for Domestic-Minded Man. DEAR MISS DIX—Will you please settle an Ir[\lm!'l;t? h‘i cllixx:nhth.;;hm nds & girl that he considers seriously he is g ry out her disposi- tion )l;:{’n\re mlr‘:l:m by arguing, scolding and criticizing her, and telling her what she can do and what she cannot do. B. says that a man has no right to criticize, or scold, or attempt to dictate to & girl before they are mm;‘%s What do you think? ™ r—1 think it would be an excellent thing if men and women showed elchAc\‘t‘;‘;lg their worst sides, and gave each other samples of disposition and temper before marriage, but I also think that if they did there would be a terrific slump in the matrimonial market. B there is no deeper instinct in the human breast than that which fills g:rg:tp: resentment at being stung in a bargain, being taken in, fooled, fiimflammed. It is not that what we got is so bad, or that it isn't worth the price we paid. It is that we were outwitted and deceived and didn't get what we thought we were getting. this feeling that undetlies what we call the disillusion and disappoint- memlgrmmarruge. ’}'he man or woman we married is no more what we thought he or she was than if he or she was a different individual. To our amazement we find that we are married to strangers who have an entirely different set of qualities from those that lured us to the altar, his courting days when John goes to see Arabella he is shaven and shorn and y{;lpssed and pe'rlumed. He spends hours upon hours telling her how beauti- ful and wonderful and angelic she is, and how superior to all other women. He racks his brains to think of things to do to amuse her and places of entertain- ment to take her to. He lavishes presents upon her, and naturally Arabella thinks that she is getting for a husband a man who looks like a sheik, who will be a perpetual lover and a generous provider. agine, then, the shock it is to her to find out that he is slovenly in his pernng:l gh-bm. and that she has to goad him to the bathtub. Picture her chagrin when he is always knocking her faults, and holding up other women to her as examples of what she should do. Fancy her disappointment when he never pays her a compliment after marriage, and she discovers that she has to corkscrew even the money for the housekeeping out of his hermetically closed pockets. Also, in the days of courtship Arabella was so mild and sweet and amiable that butter wouldn't have melted in her mouth. She was all complacence, and whatever John wanted to do was the law to her. She hung upon his every word, and begged him to tell over a about how he made that perfectly wonderful sale to Smith & Jones, and she laughed at all of his jokes and encored his stories. Naturally, this led John to believe that if he married Arabella he would get a second Patlent Griselda for a wife, and a claque that would always be giving him the glad hand, and that he could always pose as an oracle in his own family. Imagine, then, his surprise after marriage, when he discovers that Arabella has a n-gsty temper and a wicked tongue, and that she is a champion fretter, and a perpetual nagger. Picture his chagrin when she yawns in his face when he tries to tell her about his business and begs him, for pity's sake, not to repeat that old wheeze that she has heard a thousand times and when she plainly gives him to understand that she considers him a sap because he doesn't make as much money as some other man makes. Certainly it would save a lot of disappointment if John and Arabella would show themselves in their true colors before mlflll’.‘& Arabella would have nothing to complain of if when John came acourting he had put in an ance in a soiled collar and with a three days’ stubble of beard on his f. if he had given her proof of his parsimony, and told her plainly of her faults and her shortcomings. Nor could John feel that he had been gold bricked if befpre marriage Arabella had g:m him a taste of the henpecking he would be subjected to, and the curtain lectures he would have to listen to if he married her. Then they could either take matrimony, or leave it. And, believe me, they would mostly leave it. But A's plan of disenchanting the party of the other part before marriage will never become popular because it is against nature.

I want to marry her, but she insists on going on with her career even after our marriage. She refuses to leave the stage. Will you be good enough to advise me whether & marriage with such a girl would be advisable for a man who is domestic and wishes to have a real home. 8, A CONSTANT READER. Answer.—I should consider such a marriage most inadvisable for both you and the girl. It would be bound to end disastrously because it would lack the one thing that is most important in marriage, and that is for the husband and wife to have the same interests, the same ideals and the same goal. If you want to be hapyy though married you must pick out a wife who has the %ullmes you desire in a wife. Otherwise she is surely bound to be a disappointment to you, as 1t would be if you needed a delivery truck and bought & sports automobile, or if and po- were hungry and craved rare roast beef tatoes and you ordered a ubdub mess of whipped cream. In your case you want a domestic wife who will be a fireside companion. You want a wife who will be content to stay at home, and go to market, and have & real exciting day cooking spinach a new way, and in order to get that kind of & wife g\x must marry a girl who is domestic-minded, and who loves children, and who thrills at the sight of a pot and pan in a shop window. 1t is folly to pick out a chorus girl with qzulchflver in her toes and expect her to enjoy tramping the family treadmill. I has lived on excitement not to find home life dull. It is madness to expect one who is used to the bright lights to be content to spend her evenings darning stockings across the droplight from you. Men make the mistake of thinking that love compensates for everything | to women, and that when they are married they are content to give up the careers for which they have fitted themselves, but this is very seldom true. ‘The woman who has had any public success has tasted blood and she hankers for it the balance of her life, and no matter how good and kind her husband is to her, she is nearly always restiess and dissatisfied and longing to go back to her old Especially is this true of women on the stage. Many of them are lovely and charming and of great generosity and sweetness of character, but they are a risky matrimonial proposition.

A tiny feather fancy or a ecrystal orna- ment is about the only trimming we find, and the smartest hats gain their effectiveness from the manipulation of the fabric.

One of the happiest choices for an intermediate hat to wear while Winter still tarries is the close-fitting hat of grosgrain or belting ribbon. It may nct be so Springlike as a straw, but it is quite as smart, for fabric hats are fea- tured even for resort wear, All of the hats intended for town wear are small, ranging from close- fitting bonnets, turbans and berets to the small cloche with irregular brim. In many of the new turbans you will find that the crowns have taken on height. There are turbans fashioned after the Hindu headdress—a twist of soft material wound around the gros- grain crown, which is fitted in ple sec- tions. Other turbans are more on the order of the African bonnet. Here the grosgrain foundation is fitted tightly to the head and tightly rolled cords of the material are variously placed an it. e of it are fashioned the smartesf of belting ribbon stitched ther with what have | you done to {# this room?

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS Center-Part Coiffure. | Dear Miss Leeds: (1) I am letting my hair grow long and I wear it parted in the center, but it is too long to let it hang now and too short to do it up. How can I drers it at this gtage? (2)' Wil peroxide brushed on my hair make it light? (3) I am 17 years old and 5 feet 3 inches tall. What is my correct weight? (4) My teeth are inclined to be yellow. How can I whiten them? BESSIE T. Answer—A goreuy way to dress hair like yours is part it in the middle and draw it back. Comb each section smooth and flat. Fasten it with a metal clip or a narrow barrette, then fold the left-hand section over to the right side of the head, then turn the ends under and pin; fold the right-hand section of hair over to the left side, turn under and pin. If your hair is not long enough to fold or turn under, just fasten it with two pretty little barrettes at the nape of your neck and curl the ends upward. (2) Peroxide bleaches the hair, but it should never be used undiluted, as it tends to make the hair streaky. The frequent use of undiluted peroxide on the hair will make it dry, brittle and strawlike. Use two tablespoonfuls of peroxide, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and one tablespoonful ammonia in two quarts of tepid water as a final rinse for keeping blond hair light. (3) The average weight for your age and height is between 118 and 128 pounds. (4) Have your dentist clean your teeth at regular intervals. It is impossible to make naturally yellowish teeth milk- white, however. Use a good tooth paste or powder to clean the teeth every night and morning. Powdered pumice stone moistened with water or peroxide and applied very, very gently will remove scolorations from the_ teeth. LOIS LEEDS. Colors, Weight, Shampoo.

You may wear dark and medium blue, dark greens, reseda, bronze and bottle green, deep cream, pink lavender, pinkish tan and warm browns. (2) Do leg-raising exercises every night and morning.
