WOMAN'’S PAGE.’ Back Trimming for New Hats BY MARY Fashion bid us lift our hats up at the front, to show our forcheads. Many women protested. They had become so used to drawing their hats down to their eyebrows. And now that every one who has any interest in fashions at all has finally got used to the up-at- the-front down-at-the-back sort of hats, comes the new fashion for hats that are lifted up at the back. As yet this new trend has not gone far. It is only occasionally that one sees one of the picturesque Watt>au hats definitely raised at the back, but the tende s at least worth watching. Trimming is making its way toward the back of hats at present. On the wide-brimmed Summer hats the ribbon band is often tied in a generous bow at the right or left side. One of the newest French hats mads of black stitched taffeta with a white facing has MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Btewed Apricots. ‘Whole Wheat Cooked Cereal. Soft Boiled Eggs. French Toast. CofTee.

Sometimes a bowknot of ribbon appears at the front just between brim and crown with a matching bow placed & trifie higher at the back of the hat.

The s was made | without sleeves, fairly low decolletage and skirt was of floor length or there- | abouts, a sort of basque effect. It had sleeves and buttoned down the front, using tiny satin-covere butt:ns. There was a short peplum which gave the dress something of a medieval effect. The train was fastened to the basque. It spread in all the glory of its many yards. The veil was the traditional tulle, held in place with the cap and orange blossoms. “Later the dress without the train, basque or veil serves as an evening dress. It may be dyed, although it seems foolish to do it this year since white evening dresses are so extremely .| smart.” Apple Icing for Cake.

C., DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX {Folly of Mothers Who Force Their Children Into Uncongenial Occupations. S ‘(DEAR MISS DIX—Will you not write something about mothers who ruin their children's lives by their foolish ambitions in trying to make them something they can never be. I am a natural-born mechanic, and I could have been a great success if I had been trained along that line or even permitted to go to work doing something with my hands. But my mother was determined I should be a writer, so I was sent to college and spent years and thousands of dollars trying to write stories and books that no publisher would buy. Then I drifted from one thing_to another until now I am middle-aged without having got anywhere. My mother sent my younger sisters to school for 16 years. She determined one of the girls should be a musician, and a fortune was spent on her musical education, and she can play about two pieces on her expensive iano. The other sister was equally a misfit in the career mother chose for her. We are three pegs in the wrong holes, all because mother tried to make us something we could never be. s. D.” NSWER: There is really nothing more tragic than the story this man tells of three lives wrecked by a mother’s foolish ambjtion, and the pity of it is that this is not an isolated case. There are thousands upon thousands of other men and women who have suffered the same fate. For nine-tenths of the failures in the world are simply and solely the result of men and women having got into the wrong occupations, try- ing to do something that they are not fitted to do and that nature never intended them to do and that they do badly because they have no aptitude for it. There are very few people who have not some talent by which they could at least earn th livelihood, but when you put them to doing something for which they e no gift they bungle the job and do such poor work that nobody is ng to pay for it. TNJOR are there many really lazy people. The men and women who are bored by their occupations are those who are working against the grain. Doing something that does not appeal to them nor interest them, but they would be energetic enough if they got into something they enjoyed doing and that kept them on their tiptoes, A man of a scientific turn of mind or one who is a born student can never take the proper heart interest in selling green groceries, but he can p ars of unremitting labor in tracking down &' germ or studying any abstruse subject. Contrarily, the born business men is a failure in any profession because his real interest is in money-making and not patient study and scientific investigation. Thus we have plenty of poor preachers who would be good blacksmiths and many a blacksmith who have been an ornament to the pulpit. DROBABLY most people drift into the occupation they follow through sheer accident. They go into their lifework, on which their happiness and success depend, without giving it as much serious consideration as they would to buying a ginger cake and getting the flavor they like. They take the first job that offers or go into banking or merchandising or stenography or whatnot because the other boys and girls they go with are doing that, and they never consider whether they have any fitness for their calling or not. Hence the innumerable failures. Bookkeepers who can't add up a column .of figures. Stenographers who can’t spell. Salespeople who have no gift of persuasion. Carpenters and plumbers who have no craftsman- ship, and yet all of these people could have done something worth while if they had got into their own pew. JERY often these misfits are of mother's making. Mother is ambitious for her children. She wants them to do something that she con- siders romantic, something that will bring them before the public, and so she decides that Johnny shall be a lawyer or Tommy a doctor or Mary a singer or Sue an artist without any reference to their ability. For mother love Is blind and it cannot see the limitations of those upon whom it is lavished. Every child in mother’s eyes is a genius, and she never acknowledges even to herself that Johnny is dull and that Tommy hates study and that Mary has no voice and that Susie couldn't paint a barn door. So mother wrecks her children's lives by forcing them into trying to do the things they can never do instead of letting them follow their own desires and pick out their own careers. DOROTHY DIX.

FEATUR BY LOIS Moles and Warts. | Dear Miss Leeds—(1) I would lke | to know what the remedy would be | for various little brown moles and | some little wartlike white blemishes which exist on my face, neck, arms and shoulders. The moles occur with the most frequency on the arms and shoul- | ders and chest, making evening dress somewhat embarrassing. I have always | had a few, but during and since puberty | they have increased. i (2) I would also like to ask what | the correct weight is for a woman 5 | feet 812 inches tall, 26 years old and at present weighing 152 pounds.n 3 R R.B. Answer —(1) It is always dangerous to tamper with either moles or warts unless one knows the exact nature of their growth, for there are many dif- ferent kinds. For that reason I hesi- | tate to advise you at all. Won't you please see a reliable physician’ or skin specialist, who will be able to give you | the help you need? Your physician will tell you if they can be removed. | Liquid powder will cover up some of them. | (2) Her correct weight is 146 pounds. | ‘That, of course, means stripped weight, so if she weighs 152 pounds with cloth- ing I would say that her weight is ab- | solutely correct now.
