WOMEN 'S FEATURES. THE EVENING Pertir_lin_f Restless You Offer Road Problems For Eamilies on Tours Different Ages Dema BY BETSY CASWELL. HERE will be many families I setting forth within the next few days for long motor trips over the Fourth of July holiday. This means that great numbers of children will be squirming around on back seats, roughhousing, whining, go- ing to sleep in impossible positions, getting hot and quarrelsome — in general getting on their own and everybody else's nerves. This thing of motoring with the very younger gen- eration is, in some respects, a real problem. Some youngsters are desperately afraid of bees or other insects. and the entire jour- ney is a nightmare for them in their anticipation of the advent of some such visitor. Other children cannot bear to stay still for long periods of time—their limbs actually become painful from Inactivity, and their restlessness is largely an effort to ease the ache. Some children sleep for hours—others are discouragingly wide awake, and bursting with 60 questions to the min- ute. There are certain juvenile minds that take great interest in the pan- Retsy Caswell. ngsters nd Variety of Efforts to Produce Comfort for Others Who Motor. | that, in & vigorous manner, {u 15 mirutes.

Although it is & cheerful place for | gatherings in the Winter afternoons, it is a real Summer haven in which | to escape the heat and glare of the { outdoors. Around the first of July| the far-sceing housewife sets about removing everything that tends to make the room look warm. Among the first things to ¢o are the dra- peries that provide warmth and color in the Winter; in their place are| | hung Venetian blinds and light, bright curtains: next the piciures are re- | moved, the rug cleaned and packed away and a change of vases and other sccessories (a matter of small ex- pense) not only provides variety, but simplifies the care of more costly ones. Plain-color2d, irexpensive vases are alwavs satisfactory for the ar-| of bright-hued garden flowers. * ow % x THE room pictured above has thus been made rummery. Much of its cool atmosphere comes from the | use of the Venetian blinds, pa!med| in a soft shade of green, and taped in the natural color Linen, which may be bought ready to hang at a surpris- ingly low cost. The curtains are the very essence of an English garden in | June, of green unlined chintz, covered | with old-fashioned flowers in gay col- | ors and trimmed with a narrow pleat- | ed ruffie of white glazed chintz—tied back, so that the slightest breeze may enter. The floor is covered with an oval rug of natural colored rush, bor- | dered in a conventional pattern of russet and green. This type of rug i not only practical from the point of its long-wearing qualities and low price, but it can be ecasily cleaned with soap and warm water. Maple furniture is a wise choice for the sun room, particularly where there sre young children, for it is strong | and durable, and can stand hard us- age with little bad effect. The sofa and large armchair are cushioned in a rough-finished homespun of the farm house type, in a plaid design dyed to withstand the bright sunlight, and practically colorfast: the occa- | sional chair s upholstered in a smooth | finished printed cotton in tones of brown, shading to light tan. and the | other chair is a sturdy ladder-back | of the conventional type. * ox ok % TH!:RE ic nothing that gives greater | charm to a room than a wise | choice of tables, placed with the ldeni of thelr usefulness, as well as for their decorative value, The serviceable lit- | :le stands at the ends of the sofa are just the right height to permit read- ing in comfort, and the two pottery Jamps with matching shades give a soft, cool light tnat is very appealing. The coffee table is a practical one. with its removable and casily handled | tray; the sides of the small drop-leaf table can be easily raised to take care of several glasses when thirsty guests arrive The tile-topped, wroughi-iron stand gives a nice bit of color and is useful for the bowl of flowers that adds so much to the appearance of the room. | Winter Sun Room Changes Into Shady 2 " vggl_loolr Has and Tall Person.

FTHE ecry “School's out!" echoes through the country and the older | | children, who have been graduated from the elementary school and hign | school, are glad. They think that from | now on they will not be hampered by | rules, they can speak when they like, | move about as they please, do as they ‘ like without interference of teacher | or monitor. They can manage the | home folks. After all, escape from | | them is easy. | One thing they have made up their minds to, many of them. They will not go back to school. They will get | a job, or do something. That some- | thing is not definite in their minds, but the resolve to keep away from school is very definite. The elementary graduate who had a hard time pass- | | ing mathematics or languages is very certain about it. He's through. The | high-school graduate says, “What's | the use going to colleze? Taere's | nothing in it. Look at John and | Elizabeth. Where did it get them? I'm going to get a job.” Just what a college education or | | any other form of education gives people may not be clear to the ob- | server, especially a prejudiced observer | who wants to believe that college does no good. But to those who have watched several generations go through college or stop at high school or drop out in elementary school, it is very clear that those who can profit by education do o to & very great de- | gree. Those who cannot learn in the higher schools do well to learn some- | where else, but they must keep on ! | learning. School is the best place | for that, especially now when there are few places in industry. | “There is nothing in school for us,” | | the failing children say. “We can't ] get anywhere with languages and | science and mathematics and litera- ture and history. We're sick of them. | Anyway, we can't pass in them. The higher we go the worse it gets.” That is true. There is a big group of boys and girls who are not fitted for | such a course of study. But that is no reason to allow them to shout, | “School's out!” and run along the roads, It is our duty to organize the classes that are needed by-these chil- dren and keep them learning along whatever lines of power they have. It | is no disgrace not to be a doctor of philosophy or to be a good rug weaver or a house painter. Education that allows both sorts of pupils to succeed is the right sort and no other will serve. If children are leaving school with no | prospect of study or educational work | the community is to blame. Schools must be made adequate, and. seems to | me, that it might be as good a use to put public funds to as has yet been found.

Answer—Thrills and chills and hectic fevers are juventie complaints, like the measles and whooping cough, and wh'le occasiona.ly a grown-up person does have them. still and all you are mostly immune to them after you are in your 20s. Hence the longer you wait for some man to come along who will induce these symptoms in you, thz less likely you are to have ‘em.

It is only when you are in your 'teens that you can fall in love ¥ith & haircut and stake your life’s happiness on the shape of & nose, | and be sure that any lad whose step matches yours in the dance is your FLeaven-sent affinity. After you are out of the adolescent stage s lot of things about a man seem to matter more than his looks or his heels. It always seems to me a pity that the poets and the novelists, who nrei impractical folk at best and poor | guides for prosaic people, set up this | thrill business as the 1eal test of love. It makes so many people unc: in state of their affections. They have found some one they sadmire, some one who ir congenial, some one with whom they would like to spend the remainder of their lives JVERYTHING is O.

The sound of & foot- step that they hear every day rouses no wild emotion in their breasts. The | sight of Mary's or John's familiar | face does not send their temperature up & single degree. So they don't | know whether this emotion that is| iust something calm snd placid is love | or not. ] ‘Worse still, 50 many men and wom- en think they have ceased to love | after marriage because the thrill part | has played out, and they are so sold | on the idea that there have to be thrills in love that they gc out search- ing for them along the paths that | lead to Reno.

My children are grown and I have the best, truest, kindest and most faithful wife that any maa ever had. I love her so much that I would not do anything to hurt her, yet the glamour of our youthful love seems to have faded. Even s0 I could be content with if it were not that I am very much in love with another woman and I am living in constant torture seeng her every day and knowing that I canont have her. Can you advise such s helpless fool? 8. 0. 8. Answer.—None of us are very wise when it comes to love, for that goes and comes as it pleases and we are helpless tc control it. Certainly no vagary of the heart it more tragic than that which makes middle-aged | married people really fall in love the first time with some one who was their predestined mate and whom ther are meeting when it s (oo late. They are married to good wives and hus- bands for whom they feel the great- est affection and tenderness and to whom they are bound oy a thousand ties that unite those who have shared the experiences of years, 'HAT one should do under such circumstances is hard to say. Doubtless it is one of the cases that call for self-sacrifice because the good of the greatest number should be taken inio account. If you divorced your fine and loyal wife, you would not only break her heart but you would alienate your children from you; you would lose the respect of your friends and acquaintances, who would despise you for vour conduct toward your wife, and it is doubtful if you would find any consolation in a new love that had been bought at so0 high a price. So it seems to me that the best thing for you to do is to carry on as you are, and fold your romance away with the beautiful dreams we have all dreamed of the happiness we might have had and missed. DOROTHY DIX, * x o ¥ DBAR MISS DIX: Can you tell me how I can cure stubbornness? I want to cure myself and also some one else. M. F. M. Answer.—You can cure yourself by forcing yourself to yleid your own opinion to others and by doing what others wish you to do instead of what you want to do yourself. But you cannot cure any one else’s stubborn- ness. We have to reform ourselves. No one else can do it for us. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1935.)
