WOMAN'S PAGE. Features of Chil BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In a bathroom there are certain ar- N;llz' that should be within the easy reach of little folk and others that should be put far out of their P lem for a mother to treat in a satisfactory decorative manner. A child should have a low towel rack, well supplied with towels and face cloths. "It 'is befter to put these out fresh daily than to have any extras, as ¥s customary on towel racks for adults. A LOW STOOL FOR A CHILD TO STAND UPON IS8 A GREAT CON- VENIENCE IN THE BATH ROOM. Although it is not gbsolutely necessary to have a special bath mat for a child, there are so many attractive ones for children that they are apt to be pro- vided with individugl ones. A mother can make a quilted bath mat with ducks of applique swim- grasp. For this reason it is a rather perp! lexing | dren’s Bathroom medicines, lotions, etc, that eould in any way be harmful to the youngster are out of reach.

All these should {be high above a child's even | though he stands on the highest avai}- able thair or ‘stodl.

(Copyright, NANCY PAGE Living Room Is Heart Of Summer Cottage. BY FLOBENCE LA GANKE. 1920 Nancy and Peter enjoyed plannin; interiors for homes. That was wh they begged their architect friend to | bring over the completed plans for the Summer Cottage. They wanted to work out a decovative scheme for it. “We Will have a plain fireplace_with a mantel which is not too wide. What do you think you want to put on it, Nancy?” “I'd like & miniature reproduction of an old-time stage coach. They are quite the rage now and are taking the place of thoSe ship models which “were $o popular a few years back. We will choose one in red and black and make it & replica of an old-time mail cogch. “Then we will put two pots of ivy on the mantel. Let the ivy drape itself down at will over the mantel edge. And choose painted pots in which to set the potted plants.” “How about putting & woodsy pic- ture over the mantel?” “Fine. Let's find something which will look cool en & hot day and will take the mind far afield as it studies the painting.” “Then I suggest 8 maple davenport with small jdinted shelf arms which may be raised at will. We can choos a textile for covering cushions an seat which will look eaune rustic and which will not be ruined by damp bath- ing suits on beach sand. Let's haye the cushions detachable, A bridge lamp of plain simple lines in wrought iron will be in keeping. And for hang- ing let's choose rust-colored’ gauze with | simple crewel embroidery.” The more they talked about it the greater en- thusiasm they showed. (Copyright, 1930.)

On the surface many of nature's creatures appear to alike, such as . But fhese appearances | the man. are deceptive. | Really, nature knows no exact identi- tles. Her greatest law is the law of | variation. Her next greatest law is stabilization. She is always trying to/ convert variations into types or stabil- | ized forms. Progress, or what is known 8s adjustment, depends on the harmony of these two laws. Human beings are the most variable of all nature’s creations. This variabil- ity also calls for mechanisms which work for identity or stabllization. Many of the mechanisms are man-made. Pub- lic education is designed for and oper- ates as a stabilizing force. So do law and a few dozen other institutions which in one way or another contribute to the reglity of a body politic. n_ the physical levél variations are equalized and stabilized by a mechan- ism called compensation. " The loss of one eye is said to be followed by a keener vision in the other. Ailing men and women e usually become the | warld's Fut artists, especially in the realm of letters. The mind is there- fore an adjunct to the body. ‘When minds get together and are found to think and work differently we hlvg & purely psychological situation. Such inequalities set the stage for the geneu of contests. Revenge is one of e forms that psychological inequality takes. The man who seeks revenge is really weak, really unequal to the task of living up to typical achievements. (Copyright, 1930.) After two years, Frank Miller, Eldo- rado, Kans., oil worker, has repaired his l?rphne that was wrecked in a tornada. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX AR MISS DIX—I am engaged to 8 man whom I love very deeply. We are ‘well suited as to age, tastes and habits and are congenial in every way. I ‘would be most happy if it were not for my flance's unreasonable jealously. He does not trust me out of his sight, suspects every man who approaches me of the most evil intentions, a compliment or the most innocent attention from a mutual man friend brings forth a torrent of accusations. On the days %e do not see each other he phones me every few hours so that he may know exactly where and with whom I am, and wherever possible he checks up on me. In fact, he will not take my word about where I have been until my assertions have been corroborated. I have given up most of my friends and limited my soeial activities, but to no avail. He crllrnt he will be different when we are married and living under the same roof, but will he? Can I hope to overcome this feeling? What 1 cha? Answer—If you are a meek and humble woman with no pride or self-respect you may possibly endure a marriage with this man, but you will have to put up with daily insults and abuse that would make even & worm of the dust turn. If you are independeht woman, conscious’ af your own dignity and honorable conduct and accustomed to the respect and admiration of all you know, you will wfl!hi for a few years under the accusations this man will bring against you and at last you will rebel at his tyranny and ge! divorce., In either event you will go through untold misery and my earnest advice is to be forewarned and refuse to marry him. There is no possible ray of happiness for you as the wife of such an inordinately jealous husband and there is no cure for the situation because it is one that is brought about by an abnormal condition in | He is not really responsible. He cannot see things straight. Everything takes on the dark and sinister character of his imaginings. Any man who accuses you of the things this man does, who thinks that you cannot have an innocent conversation with another man and that you pass every hour you are away from him in some orgy has a perverted mind. Don't believe for an instant that after you marry him his point of view will change. It will be intensified, if anything, because then he will Teel that you are :nhu prgtper'.y and that he has a right to supervise your every act and word and ought. I get many leiters from women who have married men such as your fiance ln;,lg:hey tell of leading lives that are worse than that of any woman shut up in a em. They say they are not allowed even to visit their mothers. They are not allowed to have any woman friends or to belong to a club or to go to any place of amusement unless their jailers are along. They cannot even to the corner grocery without husband ha]dlng‘l stopwatch on them, and woe betide them it they are two minutes late in getting back. And worst of all, their husbands accuse thietxtx‘\ even before their children of crimes that they have never thought of com- mitting. The very worst fault a husband can possibly have is jealous; you marry, don’t marry a green-eyed man. (Copyright, 1930.) Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN In Whose Name? One of the troublesome questions that have arisen in our own generation is, “In whose name should ‘the family's investments be placed?” One might as well recognize the fact that there are things to be said on all sides. The irresponsible wife is coun- terbalanced by the reckless husband, and the thriftless husband is counter- halanced by the extrayagant wife. ‘Wives believe investments should be in their names, because, if widowed, they will have to look after their fami- lies. They often feel that their econ- :mle:’ hllve mflde“nvir%s] and conse- uently investments possible. lxmn.nds. on the other hand, cite their” greater familiarity with money matters and their lesser susceptibility to fraudulent stock schemes. They also claim that, regardless of who saved, there can be no question about who earned the money. This is 8 fairly controversial matter, and it is best settled by a resolie to put . Whoever else ROTHY DIX. the family weal above personal vanity or concern. What benefits the family most will benefit each individual most ultimately. Perhaps a common trust fund might be a practicable solution. It might be a living trust fund. making the survivor the sole legatee. If management of the investments has caused differences, s trust company may be made custodian. Husbands who are in partnership businesses often prefer to put invest- ments in their wives' names, so as to avoid unlimiteu liability in the eveni of business reverses or the defalcaf of a partner. In some instances men have not been able to qutmy for Insurance, and it seems fair that they place investments in their wives' names in lieu of other protection. Mutual trist and respect are essential, however, to any successful | means of disposing of the problem. ML An international exhibition of fnv tions will be held in London in O¢ D.
