WOMA Embroidery in B BY MARY AVE you noticed the use of em- broidery on the new clothes? Just keep your eyes open on your next shopping tour and you'll see that it has been used quite lavishly—though often in ® rather inconspicuous way so that you notice it only on fairly close in- ton. Persian embroidery is especially im- wortant since Persia is the land from which so many fashion inspirations have come this seacon. Blouss; a3 well as dresses are trimmed wiith bands of embroidery In the characieiistic Persian colors which Patou lasunched in Paris some months ago and which have since become so fashlonabl this eountry. The Weman Who Makes Good BY HELEN WOODWARD. Whose uniquely successful career, both in business and private life, enabies her to sprak with complele authority on n-oblems of the The Newspaper Woman. “Dear Miss Woodward: I am a news- paper woman. I should say ‘former,’ for, with three children and a hom: and husband to look after I can't tzke a staff position now. I have done inter- views, written dra- matic and book eriticisms and every kind of gen- eral reporting the ‘world hclds. “Of course, I have continued as a free lance writer, but I want to spe- clalize in some- thing that will help with expenses, as my husband is out of work and I am dependent for months at a time on my own writings to help keep us going. (It isn't his fault, by the way—it's just conditions in general.) “While I was in newspaper work I in- terviewed a dietician, me interested Helen Waedward.

THAT refreshin WASHINGTON TUESDAY Nuy 10, 193 DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX JDEAR MISS DIX —A friend of mine has a child 2 years old that she has never left, except with some member of her family, although she has a good maid. She happens to live near her mother. I live hundreds cf miles from any of my female relatives and I leave my child with a good, relizble maid whom I have trained to take care of it. If I didn't I could nevcr go out with my husband. which I think is just as much my job as taking care cf my baby. But my friend thinks T am perfectly dreadful 2nd a most neglectful mother. What do you say? CHARLOTT Arswer—I think you are just exactly right, Charloite, and that vou show you are a level-lieaded woman when you remember that you were a wife before you were a mother, and that your duty to your husabnd is just &s great as that to your child. % JT IS a curious thing hew few women are able to take their children | simely. To most of them motherhood is somethirg that happens to them that Ceprives them of all reason, I¥ke concussion of the brain or s:mething of that sort, and makes them utterly incapeble of using any common sense. They become obsessed by a fixed idea. The children They can think of nothing else. They can talk of nothirg else. They are irtercsted in nothirg else. And they not only sacrifice themesives to the rPndr‘vu. but ruthlessly offer up everybody e'se on the altar of their cfispring. They do n-t even regard their husbands. When husband wants to step out of an evening they refuse because they have to stay at hcme and watch the baby sleey. They don't doll themsalves up for their husbands bscause the baby tears at their chiffons. Often there is never anything on the table to eat cxcept food that is suftable for the infantile digestion. en the alienati:n between & lP THERE were some way of findirg out husband and wife first started, in ninety-nine cases cut of a hundred it would goincide with the birth of the first baby, when the woman changed from a wife to a motker, and lost interest in her husband because she v.as absorbed in the baby. In China they have Ancestor Worship. In America we have Baby Worship, vhich is quite us bad. It is a pity the Chinese don't send us cver a few missionaries to teach mothers that they can love their children and take care of them without prostrating themselves before them. For in this country the Car of Juggernaut that crushes out the lives of thousands of men and women is the perambulator, DOROTHY DIX. ERENEY JDEAR MISS DIX—I am very much in love with a young man who wants me to marry him right away because the firm he works for is going to promote him and send him to a distant city. My mother wants me to marry him beceuse she says that every girl wants a husband and a home, but rhe is an invalid and has nobody but me to take care of her, as she is 2 widow and I am an only child. Father left very litile moncy when he died. T can't beer to think of her being alone and pining for me. Shall I marry or not? EDITH. Answer—Why not marry your young man and let your mother g> along to the city to which your husband is being sent? She could be just 25 comfortable cne place as another, and she ccrtainly would not b hap- pler for knowing she had wrecked ycur life.

There are fow better pro- fessicna for a girl to take up than nursing. It is well paid and gives great opportunity fousefulness.

Dear Miss Leeds: (1) 1 am & constant | reader cf your beauty column and have | profited by the advice on several occa- | sions. Therefore, I would like your | advice on how to gain weight in gen- | era), as I am terriblv underweight. I| am 5 feet 7 inches tal! and weigh only 10134 pounds. _ It is impossible for me to take daily walks and outdoor exercise, as I have three £mall children of m have the constant care of one_other small child. So you can see that I have very little time for myself. (2) What will develop the calves of my legs, which seem a great deal emaler in proportion than the rest of mv hodv? (3) Also what will remove the hairs from the legs permanentiy. I will appreciate any help vou can give me. BOOTS. Answer.—(1) Yes, my dear, you are decidedly underweight. You did not state your age. but if vou are about 30 veais of age your weight should be clote to_140 pounds. What you need is rest and lots of it. I know that i3 perhaps easier said than done, but in your present condition your health .s at stake, Isn't it pos- | sible to find some young girl who may | relieve vou of the care of the children for two or three hours a day so that you may get rome rest and relaxation? | Another thing, do you alw eat nourishing meals at regular times dur- ing the day? Sometimes busy mothers forget about themselves. You should sit down for & good lunch et noon, as well as a fairly hearty breakfast and dinner. During the middle of the morning and afterncon take a light lunch of a glassful of milk or cocoa with whole-wneat wafers or crackers. (2) I feel sure that calves will round out naturally when you have managed to gain some weight. (3) The only way to remove hairs from the legs permanently is to have them removed with the electric needle, and this would be very expensive for such a large surface. There are many temporary methods which are quite 8.
