WOMAN'S PAGE. Sets of Chengn buying & large number of very inex- pensive dressps. Variety wita them is paramount. They would rather buy 10 cheap dresses a season than three really good ones, because the one thing they Collars and Cuffs cannot endure is to wear the same dress two days in succession. Then thcre are women to whom 8 ps cheap dress is impossible. One of this group may admire the dress that a friend has bought for nine-ninety-eight, but she would be miserable if she to wear it. The only drawback to their system is that unless they have a very large dress allowance their dresses be- come as familiar to their associates as bread and butter and their appearance lacks the spice that variety affords. There is a compromise position that is very easy to hold this season. If you will insist on wearing expensive dresses— that is, dresses maGe of good material, with first-class workmanship—you can contrive to get tne variety needed by means of varied accessories, A very good black silk crepe dress, for in- stance, may be worn again and again without spelling monoteny, if the wearer takes the trouble to change the acces- sory collars and cuffs. If she can make some of these sets herself, the cost of such variety is not great. ‘Today’s sketch shows one of the new fly-away collars and cuffs that would completely transform a simple dress of the sort we have in mind. It can be made of georgette or fine batiste for a foundation, with not more than three- ouarters of a yard of fancy frilling for the fly-away trimmings on shoulders and cuffs.

R” Most 3-year-olds nowadays are kept on a regular meal schedule, and mothers do not like to give them between meals. Even for somewhat older children it is usually best to have the refreshments come at regular meal time. If most of the’ children invited have their supper at 5:30 or 6 o'clock, you could have the party set for 3:30 or 4 o'clock and serve refreshments at 5:30 or 6 o'clock. Then there should be milk and hot cereal or whatever most of the children are accustomed to, with ice cream and sim- ple cake for dessert. If the milk and cereal is served on an atiractive deco- rated table, with a snapping cracker or small favor for each child, they will enjoy it quite as much as richer dishes, which would not be good for them. Children of 3 are too young to games without a good deal of I and even then only the simplest games can be carried out successfully. If you have a plano, be sure to have some older guest who will play simple marching tunes for them, or have a phonograph with marching tunes. If you cannot arrange that, you can probably manage to provide mugic by singing the familiar nursery tunes for them. Play ring- around-a-rosy and London _bridge, choosing older children to take the part of the bridge if the little ones do not quite understand what it is all about. Children like to march to music, and you can entertain them by arranging marching drills, in which they march single file d then two by two. It is a good plan to alternate active games or drills with quiet ones, so that they become neither too excited nor too rest- less. For the quiet pastimes give them colored papers and ask them to fold them. Or give each a paper and a few crayons and let them draw pictures. For one of the active games let them hunt for peanuts hidden about the room. It is best to explain to the chil- dren that the peanuts are to be taken home, as most mothers would not care to have 3-year-olds eat them. (Copyright, 1931.)

NANCY PAGE Easter Morning Finds These Girls Well Dressed BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. On Easter Sunday morning the sun shone glorfously. A sunshiny Easter al- ways seems fitting, but never did it come at a more opportune time for the Lacey girls and for Joan. It is quite true they had heard of the deep:r sig- nificance of Easter, but nevertheless they rejoiced in the fact that they could wear their new Spring clothes. Claire, who was 14 and getting quit: grown up, had a su't of skipper flannel. ‘This skipper flannel was, as explained to her dad, a light navy blue. The Eton jacket had three-quarter-length sleeves, which was more than the eye- leted blouse worn under it could boast. Its sleeves were short, puffliike affairs.

DEAR MISS DIX—I find myself at the age of 20 an average girl with an average girl's need for friendship. And that's the trouble—my total inability to make friends. I have been told to jcin clubs. I have, and stood alone. I have been told one must go half way toward making friends. I have, and no one came to meet me. I believe that personality is what attracts others to you, but when you are born without it, what's the answer? I don’t even get any affection in my family. BLUE. Answer—Of course, the ability to make friends is a gift. There are certain magnetic individuals who draw every heart toward them and whom everybody loves for no other reason than just because they have a “way” with them. ‘These lucky people may not be particularly good looking or clever or enter- taining, but every eye brightens at their coming and wherever they are they are the center of attention. They are besieged with invitations. They are showered with gifts and attentions and forgiven all of their sins. ‘These fortunate men and women are darlings of the gods. They have been vouchsafed some mysterious quality that has been denied us lesser mortals, and for us to try to imitate them would be as futile as to try to copy-cat the beauty of Dolores Costello or the voice of a Caruso. We can only envy them and bow down before them. Now in just what the secret of popularity consists, I do not know, but I have observed these things: First, that the selfish have no friends. Nobody loves the self-centered individual who thinks only of himself, of his own convenience and pleasure, and who grabs the best of everything for himself. When you hear :a,pewle &ompllln bm&u.z‘?ufififmo, th.gol.my have no friends, that no- pays them any al n are iz, will they have lived selfish lives. s bl s oy ‘They have not bound any one to them by ties of gratitude. They have not gone out of their way to make life pleasanter for any one else. They have not wept with those who sorrowed, nor rejoiced with those who triumphed, and in their old age they are reaping the harvest of neglect youl ‘The most popular couple I know consists of in their eighties, whose whole lives have been spent a human being has ever come their way to whom act of kindness or shown some courtesy, or nleanm thing.

Do own way in everything or you won't play? Do you boy?

I have also noticed that the unadaptable have few friends. Ni ‘bother with anybody who won't fit in. Especially with a girl who is a round peg in & square hole. The girl who can't dance, who can’t play who can’t swim, who can’t do anything that other young people are doing. T have known girls who were left to flock by themselves because they couldn’t mention any subject that they couldn’t start an argument on it. You couldn't get together any crowd that there wasn't somebody in it that they didn’t speak to or didn't like. They always went about with a chip on the shoulder and they ruined every festive occasion by always picking a row. Believe me, no girl is herself to offset being hard to get along with. Likewise, I have noticed that blunt-spoken people have few friends. You know the people who always say that they speak the truth and always say what §iz § £ i §iid § ‘wants alwa; ! they thing, which is apparently always something unpleasant that you would rather die than hear. None of us enjoy being reminded of our faults and short- comings. DOROTH Y DIX. (Copyright. 1931.) What to Consider in New House BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1931, The Weakly News.
