Fur Coat Selected by Linking Rough Streets With Horseback Riding
* Aug. 3, 1927. Dearest Ilene: Well, if Mayor Duvall never does another thing in his life, he was my sole benefactor this morning; he helped me to make up my mind. I was in that dilemma, Ilene, tjat faces every real woman every so often in a lifetime. A serious problem and one which, like morals, can be argued pro and con, “What kind of a fur coat shall I buy in these August sales?” That is the question. I was tearing down Meridian street in a deep but pain- _ < %
less study until I struck the block pavement between-Thirty-seventh and Thirtysixth streets. There, my dear, a couple of chasms had opened up in the wood blocks and absentmindedly and with an unconscious trust in God, I headed straight on. Other ill-natured cars had drawn up alongside to watch the excitement. Well, after gathering up monkey wrenches, spare tires, gasoline tanks and a few superfluous arms and legs, I couldn’t find my temper any place. I even forgot my usual well-bred placidity to the unheard of extent of saying “ .” Not quite though, Ilene. I want you always to remember your cousin as a laty even though she does die of apoplexy over j the state of Indiana politics. Some facetious motorist had stuck up a sign by the first chasm. It read, "Duvall’s Gulch. Second one farther down the street.” Settled at Last! And then suddenly everything; cleared itself up. Ilene I recalled the summer we spent riding horseback up and down the Grand Canyon and of course, my dear, the only smart coat in the world would be blonde pony trimmed with mountain wolf. Perfectly obvious wasn’t it? So you see how intensely grateful I am to our poor abused mayor because after all he did help me make up my mind. And you know old darling, it’s ope of the seven hardest things in ihe world to do—the other six being to beat Hank Severin’s bridge game. • Monday Mrs. Haerle and I spent the entire day in the pool at the Woodstock. In the morning / we took two dives, a couple of crawl strokes and did lots of delicious lying around acquiring a nice tan. The afternoon was spent in keeping little Emma Jean out of the pool because she’d just had her tonsils out, and exhibiting our new sunburn. Twice during the day we got our bathing suits wet and I’m afraid Elsa’s will run. Having deposited Mrs. Severin safely on the boat for Europe, Hank and Tommie Hood have been penetrating the Canadian fastnesses with the avowed intentions of hunting—at least, they have an Indian guide with them and last year they killed a skunk. Genevieve Pickerell is in Canada too with her family. Vacation Bound Mrs. Fred Bates Johnson and all the little Fred Bates Johnsons are in Michigan; Mrs. Ohr and her daughters Elizabeth and Cerene are motoring to Star Lake, Wis., the fourteenth of August. Beyond reading a light book now and then, and it must be very light or I can’t keep concentrated—and drinking limades and keeping alive a gentle flirtation or two, I hardly even move these days. Mr. Dean asked me if I’d borrowed his copy of “Napoleon?’ by Elie Faure. I never was so incensed in all my life. I don’t even know what it’s about and anyway, I think I let Bab Finley have it. Honeymooners Return Ed Raub and his bride have returned after honeymooning over northern Michigan, mostly at Northport where the Ketchams, the Jamesons and the Hereths have cottages. I saw Johnnie Ruckelshaus the night after Ed’s batchelor dinner at the University Club and I judge from Johnnie’s lack of enthusiasm and wanness that the night before must have been a very good party. Irv and I went out to the Charlie Coxes the other evening and played around in their swimming pool and enthused over their new dog, the only Irish wolf hound I’ve ever seen. They imported it from England and it’s probably the biggest dog in the Mississippi basin. I think it was the original hound of the Baskervilles. And a gentler, kinder animal you can’t imagine, builfr on the general lines of a great Dane with a tail sweep that has already demolished all the bric-a-brac in the Cox household and knocked the medicine bottles off the bathroom shelf twice. Her name is Germaine and she’s such a-friendly soul it just isn’t safe to lurk in the radius of that tail sweep. The kangaroo has nothing on Germaine as far as tails go. Write soon, old girl. I haven’t heard from you for ages. Love always, SUE.

Few of Us Indifferent to Approval of Others BY MARTHA LEE Do you know someone who does not “care a rap” what anybody thinks? He’s fooling himself if he says that: Usually the folks who declare this the most strongly are really the most sensitive to other persons’ opinions. / The head of a local woman’s penal institution recently declared that the most hardened inmate she had ever known, adamant to ordinary suggestion and correction, was softened and markedly changed when a certain kind of work in which she was particularly adept, was noticed and commended. Whether we be saint or sinner, there is present in almost every human heart, the desire to be liked, to be approved of.
Son !s Wild Dear Martha Lee: Ocjild you eive me any suKßestion about my son who is nineteen years old? I can do nothing with him. He is Just plain mean and I have said everythin!? to him that X can think of but he does not improve. You might think we let him run wild when he was a kid but believe me Miss Lee. his father gave him many a good hiding, but he is sullen and mean. I wish he would go awav as our home would be happier without him He talks terrible and says he does not care what his sisters or any one of us think of him. A SORROWFUL MOTHER. Somehow I get a picture of a boy with a whole family criticising and scolding him. Did you ever try praising him and finding something besides his meanness to dwell upon? Os course, it’s a little late to have much hope of making him over. His ideas and ways are probably thoroughly formed. However, if you have never tried the remedy suggested. it may reach him. Don’t believe that what mother at least thinks of him means nothing to him. Has No Ambition Dear Martha Lee: I have teen married a year and O. Miss Lee. I am so disappointed I could shoot myself to get out of it all. We went into debt for our furniture and home and as my husband only makes $lB a week, paying up our debts is • very slow work. I have been trying to get mv hasband to look for a better position as people who work there say there is absolutely no chance for bettering one’s self and they never get raises. Now mv suggestion that he try to get a Eositlon with more money makes my husand very angrv and he says, ‘lf you don’t like the way I do, why don’t you get another man?” Now, don’t you think that for my sake, he could try to do better? I have done jyithout so many things since I have been married. Now. would I be Justified in getting a Job and working, or not?. "EIGHTEEN.” Indeed I think you would. Surely your husband cannot believe that he can keep a wife on $lB a week. Anyway, if he has no ambition to better such a meager condition, he surely cannot object to your working. Can She Rewin Him? Dear Martha Lee: Regarding the woman who signed herself "Mrs. Etta" and said that her husband was in love with another woman. I would say for her to try being entirely different from what she has been lately and see if she cannot interest him. Be very congenial, pleasant, but sparing with your love and kisses. Then, if this fails. I believe it is too late as she cannot cause her husbtncl to love her simply by holding on and refusing him a divorce. Stop your brooding, Mrs. Eetta, be cheerful and congenial and perhaps if he has a spark of love left in his heart for you, you may win him back. MRS. ESSIE. This is not a bad suggestion, Mrs. Etta—being different, and while it is not an easy tiling to do to change one’s thoughts and habits, perhaps such a campaign, with so important a thing as your husband’s love as the goal, may be quite possible. Anyway, you haven’t completely lost yet and it ever remains true that “while thereV life, there’s hope.” ’ Wed in Florida The approaching marriage of Miss Katherine Waddell of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Claude Ziegler, of Chicago, both formerly of Anderson, Ind., has been announced. The wedding will take place in Florida Sept. ,24 and-the couple will live in Chicago.

Penalty of Ending All Conventions
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON What is the right standard of living? When do we know that wfe are letting down the bars of convention too much, and when too little? Why do we not live like the pioneers of old in a little shack of one j or two rooms? Why and owe use tablej cloths and silver forks on our tables and spreads on our beds? When do convention and decent living become extravagance? How are we to know the things we may do without and the things that social usage says we must have? A young married woman living in a western city declared that by living out near the mine, of which her husband was superintendent, they could save money. There would be no standard of living to keep up and it was their chance to pile up a goodly sized bank account. Ten years later, a timid shabbily dressed person called upon an old friend in the city, who, to the friend’s astonishment, proved to be the young woman who had so courageously left convention behind and braved life in the wilds with her mining husband. She had come for advice. “I should have come sooner,” she said, hesitatingly. “But I did not realize what was happening to us, I’ve been out of tduch with people and things for so long I haven’t dared to venture near any of my old haunts. “We started by saving on laundry. We used oilcloth on the table. I wasn’t very well, so to save steps we ate in the little kitchen. I never dressed in the evening, as there was no one to see me. Steve came home tired and dirty. We had no bathroqm and he’d just wash his hands take off his coat and sit down to supper. He said there was no use in shaving—no one saw him but the Mexican miners and their families I was usually too tired to read, so gave up trying to keep up on things. We did let down dreadfully. “We have a little money now. but aren't we too far gone to enjoy it? I have no sense of values left. I can't even talk to people. “No,” said the friend. “But you will be if you keep it up a minute longer. You’ve lost your ideas of values but you will get them back in time. I’ll help you.” Convention looks like a superficial thing, but is it? Does it not choose our values for us—take the responsibility of living, so to speak, and keep us up to the mark’
Cookies
Cookies may roughly be divided into two classes, the cut variety and the drop cookies. The cut variety Is subdivided into two classes, those rolled and cut and the ice box cookies which are chilled and sliced just before baking. One difficulty in the past has been that not enough care has been given in the proportions used. Now we know that the amount of flour and liquid used is just as important in the making of cookies as in any other baked product. If a good basic recipe is used many very dressed up cookies may be made by adding rais-ns, currents, cherries, nuts, frosting:., chocolate, caraway seeds and anise seeds. When malting different flavors from the same recipe it is wise and attractive to shape each flavor differently. Diamonds, squares, bars cut to a greater advantage than the shapes made by the different cooky ‘cutters, but they give variety. By means of a pastry tube, beautiful decorations may be made. Care should be taken though not to over decorate the cookies and cause them to look too heavy. Many bars can be lmoroved In appearance by dusting them with powdered sugar. The colored sugars look very pretty sprinkled on plaih sugar cookies. Snowballs are quite attractive and very delicious. Mix the batter Just like when baking angel food cake, then bake it in shallow tins. Cut the cake into small squares ice all over and roll in cocoanut. Inexpensive every day cakes may be made very attractive by cutting them in fancy shapes, dipping In frosting and rolling them in chopped nuts or cocoanut. They may also be decorated with crystallized fruits, jelly, or whole nut meats.

SYNTHETIC ♦ • • Dellolose, Collodion and So On Make All of Bridal Costume,
mm ;; mUS
Miss Elizabeth Wagner in her synthetic bridal costume.
Bu SEA Service STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Aug. 4 The society reporter may cover a wedding some day that will send her back to her typewriter with a report like this: “The bride looked perfectly synthetic as she stood'at the altar in her all-white costume of chemical compounds.” And she’ll be right about everything except the soles of the bride’s shoes. For chemistry has succeeded in reproducing synthetically everything, except the one item of sole leather, that the modern bride may wear. So the futuristic reporter may continue: "Her sheer white dress was of artificial silk fiber, trimmed with artificial silk lace. The sleeves of cellulose acetate came down to her wrists, and the nitrocellulose veil flowed daintly down from a crown of paraffin-coated calcium carbonate orange blossoms.” This wouldn’t be of her own concoction, either. She would merely be a victim cf the influence the synthetic chemist has had on the world How great this influence already is was just revealed here to the members of the Institute of Chemistry by Prof. Pauline B. Mack of the Pennsylvania State College. Mrs. Mack, to prove her contention that this world is almost all synthetic already, had Miss Elizabeth Wagner of Morgantown. W. Va., a member of the institute, dress completely in a synthetic bridal costume, except for the soles of her shoes. And the entire synthetic costume cost less than $25! ASSERTS BOBBED HAIR OE WOMEN TO STAY By VniteC Prctn CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—The shingle bob is here to stay: long hair will never come back, M. Eugene of Paris, famous exponent of the permanent wave told delegates to a cosmetic convention here. “A long haired woman is now the proper exhibit for the museum," he declared. “Only one woman in 100 is letting her hair grow out, and those who start this change their minds before their hair gets long enough to ‘put up.’” The only person? now wearing long hair are children, he explained. Now girls cut off their curls when they grow up in much the same spirit that mothers “put up” their hair upon reaching their majority. TERRE HAUTE SCHOOLS BAR TEACHERS Married women, other than those already employed In the Terre Haute schools, will no longer be hired, the school board of that city has announced. The schools have more than the average number of married women teachers, board members said.

Men Don’t % Like Jokes on Selves BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Men are inconsistent creatures. Reading their angry retorts under criticism, one wonders if the chief essential they lack is not a sense of humor. I do not mean that they do not have clever minds or quick wit. or that Jokes must be diagrammed for them. But while they can laugn uproariously at women, so few of them seem to be able to laugh nt themselves, which is, after all. th* essence of humor. Comes now Herbert Henshaw. editorial writer for the Brooklyn Life, and contends that the perpetrator of this column has a terrific grcuch on the men, all because I said I envied them their ability to go flshing and get as much fun ou* of it as little boys do. Os course, Henshaw resorts to the same old word of opprobium. "man hater.” Ridiculous term. Because no woman is a man hater Just as no man is a woman hater. The truth is that the men have been making clever little jokes about our sex since the world began, calling attention to our shortcomings, our peculiar ways, our follies and our sins. But they do not seem to derive the same pleasure when they must listen to anything derogatory to their virtues. There is excellent reason for this. All men have inherited superiority complexes, Just as all women aro born with a subtle sense of inferiority. Men dislike criticism of their sex because they have had so littlo of It. Probably unnumbered wives and mothers have sat together over their spinning discussing the queer ways and the cast iron prejudices of their menfolks, but they did not speak about that In the publlo prints. Now we women can read the most scathing and even insulting things said about us and never turn a hair We are so used to it. Ever since St. Paul handed out so much advice to the early Christian sisters about their proper place in the church, we have been taking it from them without protest. We have been laughed at so long thaf we have learned to laugh at ourselves. ‘But the sex that has filled the Congressional Record with their mouthlngs can let out yells of laughter at the statement that women are the champion talkers, and In spite of the fact that since the dawn of history they have engaged in bloody wars, they cling to the Idea that wc are the belligerent sex. But don’t mention it aloud, for If you are a woman, to do so is to commit the crime of “lese majeste.”
SUMMER BEAUTY
BY MME. ANNE GERARDE For NBA Service Nobody should use white powder. Match your skin exactly in choosing your powder. Blend your own powder’s shade, If necessary, by adding rachael to flesh, or mixing white, rachael and several flesh tones. Apply powder equally and lightly all over face and neck. Then go over the face again, casing the powder into the skin so it will stay on. Never leave the nose lighter than the cheeks. Use meticulously clean powder puffs, or preferably use large wads of cotton and throw them away afterward. Never borrow a powder puff any more than you would a toothbrush. Never powder your eyelids. Rub off powder just under the eye. For it is more flattering to the eye to have the natural oil left uncovered.
