- C-6 MAGAZINE PAGE. NANCY PAGE ! DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Such a Versatile Scarf as the Model Wears. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Nancy and Lois were eating in the tea room of a smart department store. During the noon hour there was a showing of fashions. The clothes were worn and modeled by specially trained girls. These girls acled as though they Teally enjoyed weaving in and out among the tables and letting interested women see she’ smart clothes at close range. One dress which captured the fancy of both Lois and Nancy was made of a figured crepe in black and white. ‘There was a rather wide green suede belt but no other trimming. The dress buttoned down the back and had the simplest of small, turn-down collars. In her hand the model carried a scarf made of the same material with a ruffie sewed all around it. The scarf was about 15 inches wide and a yard and a half long. The most amazing things were done with this scarf. It was worn over the shoulders, wrap fashion, with ends tucked under the belt in front. Or it could be arranged fichu fashion. ‘The model threw it loosely around the front of dress, knotting it casually on the shoulder and letting one long end drop carelessly down the back. Nancy and Lois saw all sorts of pos- sibilities in the idea A dress made of soft figured voile could be used with the voile scarf. In fact. they decided that any material which draped itself gracefully could be used for the frock and the scarf. . Linoleum for Walls. Linoleum is the latest and best finish for kitchen walls. Its surface can b2 washed and kept spotless. as the ma- terial is stain-prool. Even spattered grase may be esily washed away with a damp cloth. For wall covering it can be bought in richly tinted marbelized colors. It would also be an excellent material for bath room walls. MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. Stewed Fruit. Dry Cereal. Top Milk.

The first week I went to work my emgloyer said that his wife didn't approve of my style of dress and she didn't want me to wear beads in the office. All right. I left off the beads and started dressing 10 years old, wearing nothing but black, brown and navy blue. A little later he told me his wife wished that he would call my attention to my use of lipstick and rouge. She didn’t think either one appropriate for the office. O. K. again. No more make-up. The other day I heard through another source that she sald I was beginning to look like an old, wornout woman. She said I was pale-locking, drab lips and no color. I would leave, except that I dare not give up a good job in these times. What should I do? ,OUBLED. ANSWER: ‘Well, at all events, you don't need to be troubled about losing your job, because you have evidently achieved the ideal of drabness which your employer’s wife had in mind for you, and that is some pay for being frumpy in these days when good pay envelopes are as scarce as hens' teeth. Nor need you take to heart the fact that your boss’ boss commented on the fact thut you looked like a wornout, old woman, because that is exactly the way she wants you to look and she wes publicly proclaiming her own astuieness in robbing you of your good looks and congratulating herself that she is a wife who has sens: encugh to make her husband's secretary haul down fer colors. (QF COURSE. it is an outrageous thing for her to dictate to you about your clothes and your complexion. She has no more right to tell you how to dress and what make-un to put on than you have to criticize her taste, but I'd park my lipstick and my beads until times are better and work more plentiful It is a pity for any woman to get so soured that she begrudges youth its hour of beauty and adornment wnd would strip it of the gay fripperies that it loves. I always feel sorry for age that is so jaundiced that it does not enjoy looking ut & pretly young girl, and does not feel an instinctive desire to smother her in pmk chiffons and party frocks and satin slippers and bangles and chains, F COURSE. a business girl should dress like a business girl. That is merely the good taste of being appropriately gowned. Appearances count for & lot and she should look like an efficient, serious-minded young woman_who is on her job, instead of being diked out in fuss and feathers like a debutante on her way to a pink tea. But that doesn't mean that she need be shabby nor frampy, and still less does it mean that she shouldn't have a wave In her hair or a curl on the nape of her neck, nor use the means that heaven has vouchsafed us of turning a sallow complexion into & fair and rosy one. On the contrary, it is part of & business girl's business to be as good- looking &s possible. It helps trade and it helps the girl do better work because it Lraces up her morale. No girl ¢an huve any pep if she kuows she is looking like something the cat brought it, but if & glance at her mitror shows her that she resembles a million dollars, she feels equal to tackling anything and breaking down the sales resistance of the stubborn- .it cuslomer or getting out the last letter and clearing her desk before she leaves. ANOTHER point that your critic seems to miss is that it is important for a business girl to make the most of her looks, because the offices where she works are her happy hunting ground for a husband. The society irl meets men at dinners and parties and balls, but the business girl has few social contacts. She meets men where she works, and if she doesn’t catch the eye of some eligible youth there she is sunk. And how can she do this if she has to wear drab frocks and unbecom- ing hats and no paint and powder? So I implore the bosses’ wives to have a heart and lay off their husbands’ employes’ clothes. Let them remem- ber the time when they were girls and liked to doll themselves up. Or let them ask themselves how they would like to tuke away their own daugh- ters’ preity clothes and compacts. DOROTHY DIX. e e e I)EAR MISS DIX—Suppose & couple who were very much alike when they married at 20 find themselves at 50 very different from each other. ‘Suppose the man still feels young and his wife is twice as large as when he married her and has no longer the interest for him she had when younger Can vou offer any words of comfort for the woman? Is Nature, man or woman wrong? X. Answer: Prcbably Nature is the culprit In most of such cases, because it brings about growth, which is so often a tragedy in marriage. A young boy and girl marty, seemingly well suited to each other. They have been reared in the same environment, have the same habits and tastes and to all appearances have abont an equal amount of intelligence. But one stands still and the other grows. One reads and studies and improves his or her mind and takes cn culture and gets a bigger and broader view- point, and the other stays put. with never a new idea or a new thought, with no interest beyond the little daily round of duties, the little home circle. THE result is that the two are unequally yoked together and the mar- riage is a failure. Both are lonely, the one who has soared to the heights and the cne who stays in the ‘valley. Few marriages are more unhaopy than those of the man and woman who are forced to live tagel!dh:‘r_ but whose souls are as far apart as if they inhabited different worlds. For this reason every bride and bridegroom should start out on their honeymoon making a definite, intelligent effort to keep in touch with each other. They should cultivate the same interests and try to make them- selves companionable to each other. A woman can keep her husband from developing away frcm her if she will begin in time, but if she waits until see is 50 it is too late. The nonthing is left for her but to reconcile her- self to the siutation and find other interests in life. DOROTHY DIX.

OPS were popular with Indian boys of former times. The tops were carved chiefly from wood, and were spun on rocks or on animal hides laid on the floor of the wigwam or tent. Many & test was made to see which top could be kept spinning longest. Indian girls did not spin tops so often, but they watched the contests of the boys with keen interest. Children of Rocky Mountain tribes were fond of walking on stilts, made by themselves or their elders. Clay blocks, to use for building, were given to small children in. some tribes of the plains.

They kept score by marks at the edge of a rug, mat or hide. Men also played with dice; but their dice games were different from those of the women. Ball playing was the great gemne of the warriors. Teams from different tribes would line up at either side of the field. Sometimes there were ten players on a side, sometims a hundred. Each ball player carried a racket, on the order of a tennis racket but with- out such firm cords. The ball was formed of wood. or of deerskit stuffed with moss or hair.
