Fine hand work is something that never loses its appeal in France, and the well-dressed French woman always likes to wear a dress or blouse that has | acquired distinction and real value as a result of beautiful hand work, rather than through the addition of expensive and unusual trimmings. : - | spend much time and thought devising new tricks and fashions in clothes for the diversion and entertainment or serious consid- eration of the rest of the world. They have to keep ever alert for new ways of Among the new dresses sent to from France to add smartness and dis- tinction to the S8ummer wardrobe some of the most attractive and most thor- oughly French are made of fine silk crepe finished with fine embroidery or drawn work. The dress sketched made of cream-colored silk crepe—a | simple, sleeveless dress with matching | | belt and a short-sleeved jacket of the‘ same silk. Bands of fine hemstitching and solid embroidered dots trim the | sleeves and edges of the bolero jacket, as well as the front of the dress blouse. Actually, there is nothing very diffi- cult about doing fine hand work of this sort. It is largely a matter of patience | and precision. French women with a | little time to spare frequently finish | their own dresses with a touch of fine | work of this sort, and there is no really good reason why American women with leisure to spare should not do the same. | (Copyrisht, 1933.) e Pineapple Whip. | Fold one and one-half cupfuls of crush- ed and drained pineapple and eight | quartered marshmallows into half a | cupful of stiffly beaten cream.

MOUNTAIN LAUREL. (Kalmis latifols.) ETER KALM, a Swedish lover of nature, came to this country in the eighteenth century. So en- chanted was he with the laurel- covered hillsides and mountains that he took back with him plants. In the grounds of the old es- tates of Europe these plants hold an honored place, and en they are in full bloom the gates are opened that many may come in and enjoy the ex- uisite flowers. 5 From New Brunswick and Ontario, southward to the Gulf of Mexico and westward to Ohio, this flower is well known. Scme call it the calico plant, others the spoonwood and to most of us it is the mountain laurel. The deep, glossy leaves have such decorative value in the Winter. Many florists gather great loads of the branches and the shrub is in danger of being wiped out. It is an adaptable plant and will grow readily for you if transplanted and given sandy or rocky soil be sown also. Under favorable condi- tions it will grow to be 15 or more feet high and is a most welcome sight in the Winter. N. self-respect animal who wishes to stay on this planet will touch those deep green, filolsy leaves. Grouse, when crazed by hunger, have been known to throw caution to the winds and eat them freely. Her body is found nearby the next day. Indians, it is said, who wish to join those in the “happy hunting grounds,” will brew a drink from these leathery leaves and know no more. But the gay swallow- tail butterfly knows her offspring can digest these tough leaves, and so she places her whole family on them. They enjoy the food placed before them and never a complaint is heard from the consumers. The flower is a clever mother. Her pink saucer-like blosson hides 10 wee ! pockets. In them are hidden the an- thers and over them, bent like a bow, is a hair-trigger trap, made of the elastic filaments. First the bee alights on the open flower, brushes against the erect sticky stigma; the four golden pollen grains are brushed from her body as she goes seeking the nectary. Her foot touches the hair trigger and, click! the anther gun is fired, the pollen shoots upward, striking the hairs of the visi- tor. She being busily engiged seeking nectar, has not been disturbed by the shot, and when she goes to another flower leaves the orange-colored grains on the next stick stigma. Even a slight jar will set off this wonderfully bal- anced trigger. Try it for yourself. If the bees are kept from the flower no seeds will be set. Ants, as you know, g0 everywhere seeking sweets: the laurel has sticky stems and chalices to keep her out. In the Fall the green seeds will be waving from a slender stem, later the capsule will be brown and some fine day will open and scatter the seeds abroad. The wood is in great demand. It is solid and hard, weighing 44 pounds to the cubic foot. Spoons, ladles, furni- ture and even pipes are made from it. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Apricots. Bran With Cream.

Then he squatted down and began to eat sweei grubs and neither was concerned with anything else save that Peter did keep sitting up for a look around. “I'm glad Mrs. Peter didn’t want me about.” thought Peter as he stuffed clover.

My husband is very high tempered and stubborn and I am very easy-going, so I have always given in to him in order not to have any trouble, but lately things have gone so far that I cannot stand it any longer. And the crisis came over such a trifile. About two weeks ago I cleaned the kitchen and put up some curtains, thinking that my husband would be pleased that I had tried to make our home as nice as I could, but when he came home he ordered me to take them down, which I did not do. When he came home the next night and saw that I had not obeyed him, he was furious, pulled down the curtains and told me that I had to obey him in everything, that he was running the place and that I had to ask him first before I could do anything in the house and that I must have no opinions of my own. He was 50 angry that he even tore the window shades to pieces and started to strike me. That was too much. I took my child and left the house. I love my husband, but 1 won't be his siave any longer. What must I do? 5 A READER, NSWER—You did exactly right to leave your husband under the cir- cumstances, and if you have the courage and backbone to stand pat and not make any effort toward reconciliation, you will bring him to his senses and have a chance to re-establish your married life upon the right foundation You husband will realize how unreasonable and unjust he has been and how near he has come to wrecking his home with his temper and he will return to you a humbled and a chastened man. He will miss the pretty, comfortable home you have made him. He will miss your amia- bility and sweetness. He will miss his little child and will come to know that losing all that is a pretty high price to pay for the privilege of going into a senseless rage. ND if he doesn’t come back, if he is too stiff-necked and stubborn to admit that he is in the wrong, you will be far better off without him than you would be with him. For life with such a man would be just & series of insults and scenes that would leave you bruised and sore in spirit and filled with contempt for him. No intelligent woman can maintain her own self-respect and live with & man who regards her only as a slave, Who tries to force her to obey him and who denies her the right to any opinion of her own. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX—I am married to a woman who is one of the best wives in the world, except for one thing. She will not play fair with me about my people. She has her people come to stay with us and she goes to see her father and mother and insists on my going with her. That is all right. but she will not go to see my people, although my father is an old man 87 years old, just because my father's second wife is not a good housekeeper. A. HUSBAND. Answer—I think that your wife is very selffish and shows little con- sideration for your feelings if she isn't willing to go to see your father sometimes with you But there is no use in dragging a woman against her will to a place she doesn't want to go. She would only make things disagreeable, £o let her go her way and you go yours to your respective families. But it is a pity that she isn't a better sport. DOROTHY DIX.
