Mothers of Wives Need Joke Rest BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Probably the world’s worst joke is the one about the mothgy-in-law. From the vaudeville stage, the comic supplement, the news columns and the legitimate drama, we get it, the innuendo directed at the wife’s mother, for you will notice that it is the men who are always pictured as victims of this type. Probably if we could read the signs, some of the cave-men scratchings on the immemorial rocks would be wise cracks at the parent on one side of the family. Throngs have applauded this hoary jest, exactly why no one, perhaps, could have explained. Loud guffaws have resounded at insults hurled at mothers all over the world and uproarious laughter still greets the clown who pictures man being chased by an irate relatve. Harmful, Even If Witty It looks as if the time had come for us to see that this sort of thing is not only a worn-out joke but a pitifully harmful sort of wit, if you can dignify it by such a name. This propaganda is certain to have its influence. Especially when you consider the innumerable years that men have listened to it. After a hundred decades men and women arc sure to go into marriage with a subconscious aversion to mother-in-law. Constant dripping will wear away a stone, they say, and if this is true, then constant joking about a person will eventually make that person merely a joke before the world. Why Not Father-In-Law? If we must joke about things which are so near to our happiness, then we should at least be fair and put our father-in-law up beside mother-in-law to bear the sharp javelins of our pungent humor. Multitudes of women must have shrunk in spirit when compelled to listen to these hoary remarks about themselves. And if we took a census I feel that we should find ninetenths of mothers-in-law splendid and helpful women, the sort who drop everything and come in to help every time a. baby arrives and who are concerned only with promoting the happiness of tJieir children.

Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness Is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can’t be well If yaur digestion is bad; you are sure to gf sick unless you relish your food, digest it properly and keep your bowels regular. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles of every kind, even those of many years’ standing. Read what Mr. John F. Meighen, of 019 Highland Ave., Sidney, Ohio, says: “For three years I had severe stomach pains caused by gas, and suffered greatly from loss of sleep. Before finishing the first bottle I noted considerable relief. Now I am in good health and have no stomach trouble whatever.” If you suffer from gas. pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can’t sleep and are nervous and all run down, it’s a sign you need Tanlac. It ik good, pure modicinp. made of roots, herbs and barks—nature’s own remedies. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money buck if it doesn’t help you.

Large, spaced flowers are set on pastel, grounds —yellow, 'pale green, peach; or against the new grey, black and purple navy. In these flowers, there is an interesting effect of light and shade, as if colored revolving lights had been thrown on the design. Very often this mysterious shadows effect is secured by the use of a touch of grey in the flowers themselves, which are limned in the new green-blues, orange-yellows, tawnyyellows, chartreuse greens. Characteristic chiffon designs are “Pond Lilies”—still' pools where lilies drift, painted with the new exotic colors of the spring; “Shadow Flowers” where on sheer, tinted backgrounds, white-shadowed flowers breathe a tenuous fragrance; “Fleurs de Watteau,” flowers of exquisite delicacy of design and color, as might have been dreamed by the great painter for a fete galante; “Painted Roses,” in which great, lush and beautifully molded roses on sheerest chiffon glow with the very aspect of reality.

Berlin Flappers Wear Shortest Skirts in World . BY lIEDDA HOYT United Press Fashion Editor BERLIN, Nov. 10.—The shortest skirts in the civilized world are in Berlin. And, we might add, the longest legs in the world are in the Gerrrfan capital. Imagine, if you will, skirts as Jiort as bathing dresses, on frauleins of ample proportions, swaying to the steps of the Charleston in smart tea gardens. The effect is astounding, for, believe it or not, these frauleins ceertainly have some understanding. Shorter Than American Until we arrived in Berlin we considered the knee-cap the limit where short-lengths were concerned. We were foolish enough to believe that the skirt race was between American flappers and girls of the French demi-monde. In Paris we decided that the Americans had won the race by two inches. But a Berlin girl on Broadway would certainly knock the wind out of the wisecrackers ! In Berlin they don’t roll ’em, my dears! Instead, stockings are as long as a trapeze artist’s tights. One gets the impression of staunch bodies with wide hips, wide shoulders and correspondingly wide legs set on badly shaped long-toed shoes. Just now the Charleston and the South American tango are considered a little swankier ,in Berlin than one-steps, waltzes and the like. And until you've seen a short-skirted German fraulein waft her knees through the languid steps of the tango with her face set on getting somewhere—you’ve not seen anything. Far Above Knees On the so-called smartly dressed girls in Berlin, I cannot recall a skirt which even touched the kneecap. Some were fully four Inches above the knees for walking purposes. You can imagine what this length dwindled to for dancing or sitting purposes. Well, whatever the German maids set out to do they usually accomplish. The war of skirt-lengths has been won! And Berlin wins the cut-glass garte*! There’s no use trying, flappers! The North pole has been reached!
