The sketch shows how that may be done on an evening dress. On one of the new Spring aftern dresses three silk crepe roses are used—one a little to the left of the front on the silk erepe belt and one on either sleeve There is & rose at either side on the narrow bands placed at the end of the slash in the sleeve When artificial flowers are used on the shoulder of an evening dress they are usually arranged to cover one shoulder strap.

Carpets Have BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. “Whenever the question of refurnish- ing » home comes up there is raised the question of Ccarpeting versus rugs.” Nancy and the rest of the club mem- bers listened to the speaker, a noted “We use many carpets now which reach from wall to wall because the advent of the vacuum cleaner made cleaning a comparatively simple task. No longer do carpets need to be taken up for annual Spring cleaning. Then, too, carpets are in vogue just now be- cause they represent a change from rugs which have been fashion’s favorites for a number of years. “The two- ed carpet with an all- over design. the F carpet, the ones with mid-Victorian colorings and pat- not learn some time to discou: the spoken word!

For instance, a room | such as the living room may be carpeted | from wall to wall and the adjoining | ining room may have a rug with hard- wood border on the floor. But this is not wise where the two rooms open into | one another with a wide open doorway | between. Any rodm which is somewhat shut off from an adjoining room may | be treated differently from its neighbor, When two rooms are carpsted or rugged alike they increase the apparent size of the rooms small room is made to appear larger if carpeting extends from wall to wall, especially if the carpet pattern is small | When a hard-wood border extends beyond the rug it adds just that many more lines and one more variation in | color which distracts the eye and makes the room look smaller.

Our home shou! DE house, vant on my sal wife, who is a big, strong, healthy young woman, woul you ‘help me to solve my problem? Answer—No. When a woman is laz, a man, married, and with a Id be & happy one, but it is miserable because my wife’s only aim in life s to go from one bridge party to another. She is discontented, hates housework and the care of the baby. When I come home from work I have to clean up the do all the cooking and the baby's washing, as I cannot afford a ser- lary Yet I make enough to live comfortably on if only my 1d do her part. Can DISILLUSIONED. and pleasure-mad, nothing short of a miracle will change her, and I have no magic by which I can work such big medicine as you require. OFTEN wonder if there is any other man in the world who gets such a jolt in matrimony as the one who marries a pretty, spic-and-span young girl, who has always been alert and interested in everythin, and who finds when he gets her home that he has a sloven who doesn’ it worth while to keep herself or her house neat, and who is a quitter and a slacker who just simply lies down on her part of the matrimonial part- nership and refuses to carry her share of the load. Certainly there can be nothing more disillusioning to a man who has always been used to a clean, orderly home and well prepared food than to come back to a house that is as dirty that would kill an ostrich. Certainly & man more quickly than to come h as a pigpen and to sit down to food nothing could take the heart out of ome tired and have to do the work that his trifiing wife has left undone, and if anything could deepen the gloom he must feel it would be to realize that his baby was neglected and uncared for HAT to do with that kind of wife is a problem that is hard to solve. Certainly a man does not help matters by meekly putting up with it and doing the cleaning and washing and cooking that she should do. My own idea is that if the husband would stage a rebellion, and not only tell his wife but make her realize he meant it, that unless she did her work satisfactorily she was going to lose her job as a wife, just as she would lose it s & stenographer or a saleswoman unless she gave satisfac- tion, she would brace up and do better Very few women want to give up their homes and to have to go out into the world and support themselves instead of having a husband do it. They know that they are better off married than single, and if they had to give their husbands good food and a clean hearth, they would do it, rather than go back to standing behind a counter or pounding a typewriter. Fail- \re to support is a ground for a divorce for women. Failure to be good housekeepers should be an equal ground for divorce for men. (Copyright. DOROTHY DIX. 1932.) A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. IT'S a Democrat of the old school who sits in that seat of the mighty—the chairmanship of the House | Ways and Means Committee—as Con- gress approaches this ticklish propo- sition of increasing taxes. His name is James W. Collier. He hails from Vicks- burg, Miss., and is one of the veterans of the House of Representatives. Collier's commit- tee will consider all proposals advanced to increase the country's revenues. His post is one of the most powerful in Congress. A cautious man. who is thorough in everything he attempts, the Mississip- pian has centered his long career in Congress around the Ways and Means Committee. He has been in Congress continucusly since 1909 and all but four | of these 23 years he has sat on Ways and Means. Already Colller has had his baptism as chairman of this committee. And | it was with one of the most important | issues ever to come before the Con- | gress—the moratorium on war debts. | True, passage of the moratorium was | virtually asured from the start, but at the same time it had to be considered and passed in orderly fashion. The burden in the House rested on Collier's shoulders. His speech In favor of the mora- torfum, which a majority of his com- | mittee had reported out favorably, was a rather tame affair. Not much oppor- tunity was afforded to judge what | might be expected of him in the way of leadership in the future when more | controversial issues arise A better estimate will be had a:| Ways and Means and Congress roll on | further into taxes and the tariff. Until Democratic control of the Housc | thrust him forward into such a posi- tion of prominence, Collier remained more or less in the background as far as his activity on the floor was con- cerned. By nature he 1s rather quiet. About the only time he forgets taxes, tariff and the like is when he takes down a fishing pole and tries his luck in streams around picturesque old Vicksburg. England now has 2,000 maternity and child welfare centers. WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD. Resistered U. 8. Patent Office.
