Away Guests and Relatives. BY ANGELO PATRIL “I‘.’\‘l CERTAINLY glad to get back home: to the peace and quiet.” “Was the noise as bad as usual, mother?” “Worse, if it could be. The minute Bob got in the house he turned on the radio full blast. Then he got out his airplane set and worked at it. If he ever heard a word of the program it was a miracle. He wasn’t listening or caring “Jackie got in close behind him and he started whistling and singing and stamping about, eating crackers | all over the house and every once in & while snatching at the baby and get- ting him to yell. The noise was awful. You had to shout rbove the din to | make yourself heard. Just as soon | as I decently could I told Laura that | 1 had to get back.” “How is she?” “She looks tired to death. TI| wouldn't be surprised to hear any day that she was sick in bed. How she can stand that noise and disorder day in and day out, gets me. She never | was used to it here at home.” | “Why doesn't she make them keep | quiet? Why doesn’t she do something | about the noise and the mess? She's boss in her own house, or isn't she?” | “All T know is that the noise is | something beyond description, and I'm going to stay away from there. T'm afraid Tl say something and she will think I'm interfering.” “You're her mother. You ought to be able to speak.” “It's her house. And her children. And her business.” Noise is an unhealthy influence in the home. It creates bad manners and that means plenty of trouble on all sides. It spoils the voices of the children and their parents. It strains the nerves of the whole family and | brings on sickness as well as bad tem- pers. It makes home a place to get away from instead of a place to cling | to. Tt drives away guests, friends and | relatives | ‘The proper use of the radio is something that has to be learned.

In the vegetable line thimgs were much simpler. Corn, both the ordm-ry‘ type and “Country Gentleman,” ap-| peared to be plentiful and inexpensive.

One could almost have guessed that crowns would be high, as fashions take quick turn-abouts to keep them out of the rut of monotony, and we have had s lot of skull-caps this Summer. We admit that the little calot is a cunning trifle to drop upon one’s Fead nonchalantly, but if you are looking for something different, the new high line from forehead to crown peak will | give it to you. ‘We first noticed the higher crowned hats at a recent showing of fur coats, and they are admirably suited to wear with fur collars and the very broad shouldered effects that are evident in most of the fur coats. Many of these high turbans are set well back off the forehead with some sort of trimming bands in contrast color. Other turbans are set at an angle across the forehead.

Al- though some of the first black turbans have partially open crowns, this is a fashion that is not expected to hold over into the Fall and Winter season. An attractive black velvet beret, more on the conventional style, has 8 star-shaped center of folded ribbons and a spike top-knot. Black ben- galine is used for tall black turbans that resemble clerical shapes. They are often trimmed with bright red, blue and green cordings. A milliner recently returned from Paris says that black antelope hats with colored accents impressed her most among the French models. The use of big quills and ostrich trim was also noted. She spoke of the re- currence of directoire ideas and the 1900 period in new Fall dress styles. Typical colors that will be used are deep rich garnets, plum, taupe. royal blues and mahogany browns for after- noon wear; the lighter rhum browns and gray for street wear, and groups of delicate, softly-toned pastels for evening. The evening range of colors includes the deep, rich afternoon shades, but in richer velvets, satins, upholstery fabrics, brocades and metals. Brilliant black and glistening white are also slated for early Fall promo- tion in evening wear. They will be shown not only in formal gowns, but the street-length type of “don’t dress for dinner” frocks that are becom- ing so popular for informal dining.

There was & | time, and not so long ago | either, when we regarded holidays as only luxuries for million- aires and alibis for Weary Willies, but now we have become intelligent enough to know that they are neces- sities. We have realized that every one gets stale doing the same thing over and over until even the occupa- tion that we love gets dull and monotonous. We lose interest in it and slump, and if we are to keep on our tiptoes and it physically and mentally, we must now and then break away from the routine and have rest and change. We have come to know how true is the old saying that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and that there is no remedy for what ails us like a little trip even if we don't go 20 miles away from home, but which breaks the deadly grind of our every- day lives and brings to us new scenes, new people, new food and new talk. We come back made over, ready to tackle our old jobs with fresh energy; with our homes transformed from jails into the dearest spots on earth, and with our families changed from nag- gers who had got on our nerves into the swellest people we ever met. So everybody gets a vacation. The tired business man gets his. The workers in shops and offices get theirs. The children get theirs. Everybody gets a vacation except the the one who needs it most, and that is mother. * ok o X I’I‘ NEVER occurs to anybody that cooking three meals a day, for 365 days hand running, has an eternal sameness about it that is enough to send any woman to the insane asylum in the course of time. No one thinks that mother could possibly get tired of washing ' dishes, sweeping floors, darning socks, trying to decide whether to have botled mutton or roast beef, settling squabbles between the chil- dren and listening to the baby cry until she feels ‘as if she wanted to scream herself. Nobody realizes that the reason mother has slacked down in_ her housekeeping and gotten snappy and has quit dolling herself up is because she is fed up with do- mesticity and needs a change. Because mother is supposed to be & strange creature, with queer habits and inexplicable tastes that make her different from the remainder of hu- manity, she is believed to get o ter- rific kick out of doing her daily stunt on the treadmill and never to crave any change in occupation. She is place. (Coprrisht, 1937.) Whatever It Costs It Is Worth the Price . to Give Mother a Vacation. spoon gelatin in 2 tablespoons cold water, dissolve it in 1 cup hot cherry Juice.

And the idea that she could possibly get s0 tired of her home and her husband and her children that she feels she can't stand them any longer is so pre posterous and so contrary to the popu lar conception of mother that it never | enters anybody's head. Yet it happens. And it happens to every wife and mother. There is not one who reads these lines who is not wishing in her secret soul that she could have a vacation—a couple of weeks—one week—even a few days away from her family, off by herself, somewhere where it was gay and amusing, where she could forget about the butcher's bill, the baby's bottle, | Tommy's tonsils and the brace on Mary's teeth, and just rest. ok % x WHAT mothers need is a personal vacation.

And what dividends mother's vaca- tion would pay, for she would come back seeing father as the hero of her girlish dreams instead of a fat, middle- aged man who was fussy about his food; the children would be angels instead of demons; she would be brimming over with new ideas about fixing up the house; full of new recipes, and jolly and amiable instead of being irritable and cross with only the word “don’t” in her vocabulary. Don’t say mother can't have a vaca- tion because there is nobody to look after the children. There is always some relative, or some experienced woman who will be glad to earn a few dollars by doing it, or a trained nurse can be had. But whatever it costs, it is worth the price. DOROTHY DIX.
