Time Cures Youthful ' Love Pains BY MARTHA JLEE Three little stories of young love crying because a man you SHRDU crying because the brother of a girl friend is cold, because a man you have never asked to call has declared to others that you are in true, and no doubt it is sad to be in love with him when this is only too love with two perfectly lovely boys at once and neither one of them is allowed to come and sec you. But “childish troubles will soon pass by. in the language of the old poem. "There, little girl, don't cry,” may be said to each of these damsels, and the poem quoted: “They have broken your heart, I know, But life and love will come by and by— There, little girl, don't cry.” Perhaps Santa will bring them a stockingful of comfort in this little verse from Martha Lee. Nadine is worried because the brother of a very dear girl friend treats her coldly after showing her some courtesies. She says that she is worried because she is afraid of losing the friendship of the sister. Are you sure' Nadine, that it is the friendship of the sister, and not rhat of the brother which you really want? If you are, you should have no problem at all. Treat him considerately and politely when you visit in his home. Do not let him see that you notice any change in his attitude. That should cause him to be considerate, of you, and if it does not, his sister will soon notice it and sisters have ways of correcting bad manner in boorish brothers. Os course, if it is the friendship of the brother you desire, this would still be the best policy, for even boorish brothers can not fail to admire womanly traits and gentleness in their sister’s friends.

Poor Grace, you have such a problem. You are 16 years old and your parents will not let you bring two boys, whom you say you love, to your home, and so you are thinking of running away. You have answered your own letter, Grace; you cannot be in love with two boys at once, even at your great age, and so your father and mother are quite right. Runaway girls are not very happy girls. Send me this same letter two years from tod4y, and in the meantime try to find some interest in your schoolbooks. You will be better able to earn a living for yourself if you have a little more education, and, besides, it is just possible that you may find out by that time that you do no tlove either: one of these boys. Dear Lonesome and Sad—l do not know what you can do if a boy you have fallen in. love with and who has never dated you begins to tell others that you are crazy about him. You said you never showed it, or told anyone, but evidently he has found it out. You are doing right to act coldly now, as perhaps this will save you from being talked about any more by him. Sometimes older boys are amused to see a little 17-year-old girl fall for them. While we suffer somewhat from these embarrasments and unreturned affections when we are seventeen, we must remember that the object of our love is not to blame because we have given our hearts without being asked. It is hard to feel that one is being made ridiculous, but I think some such tears come to everyone at seventeen if we begin to care for older persons who have never asked to date us. Perhaps as you grow older you will be laughing some day at the little boys who fall hopelessly in love with you, instead of being the one who is laughed at, as now. For Mrs. E. R. G*. who has a really sad situation to look out upon this Christmas week, I should say that if her husband is cruel, and she was married to him by her stepmother without any permission being asked on her side, that she* ought to be able to tell her. story to a lawyer and get a separation, even though the husband threatens that he will kill her if she does. It seems, from the reading of her letter, that the law might very possibly give her the complete possession of her child also, and cause the husband to help in its support if the judge decides that a real condition of cruelty has existed for the mother. Sticking Bandages If a bandage sticks to a wound, soak it with peroxide. It serves a double purpose as it cleanses the wound while it loosens the bandage. Coffee Spots To remove coffee spots from silk, sponge immediately with clear, warm water and rub dry with a circling motion. \ Glove Care To increase the life of gloves and keep them looking new, always remove them carefully, blow them full of air and fold with care.

Do Men Eat ? Judging from the amount of “cook book literature” written by men, the male sex doesn’t know a souffle from a toureen. Perhaps, however, this is just a myth—big hotels have chefs! At any rate, The Times next Friday will print the best twenty recipes written by MEN ONLY and will pay $1 each for them. You can tell how to make anything you carp to If it is al-’ leged to be edible. Only be careful—you may have to eat it, if your wife spots the recipe! Be sure you’re right, thefTgo ahead! They must be in The Times office by Wednesday noon, addressed to The Recipe Editor.

THE CONNOISSEUR - - Mr, Van de View Is Serenaded With Christmas Carols

Woman s Day

BY ALLENE SUMNER The physical strength of woman has been scientifically determined as only half that of man, according to a report from the Industrial Fatigue Research Board based on tests given 4,336 British women. It seems to me that the board should confine its results to % British women and not say “all women are half as physically strong as men.” Granted, though, that the 50 per cent figure stands, it would be interesting to hear the results of some endurance tests given both men and women. Here’s wagering that the endurance of the half-as-strong woman would be found double that of the man. a a a “Debunking ” Motherhood “Debunking” motherhood seems to be a favorite occupation of some of our new mothers. We giggled wildly at a bridge club to hear the new mother of a 4-month-old son placidly announce that she was only just beginning to feel some real affection for her child, whereas hitherto she had regarded him as pretty much of a bore and bother. n a e “ Me, Tool “Me, too,” the pretty mother of two little girls took up the tale, "Betty was at least a year old before I had any special use for her and I’ve never liked her nearly so well as Nancy. I get worried sometimes because I don’t seem to have the traditional motherhood feelings.” t a u Another Heretic I met another friend in a store the other day. She communicated the tidings that “the original Mayflower Pilgrim Fathers were to be augmented by one in the near future,” and she checked all attempted congratulations by remarking, “No, it's not grand at all. I have pone of the authentic prospectivemother emotions.” What Is It ? ' Now I happen to know that no children are better cared for and planned for and assumed as serious responsibilities than the children of the two friends who laugh at the old-fashioned sentimental “motherhood viewpoint.” What does this reaction mean? Is it a pose atune with an age which belittles pure emotion? Is it, honest evidence that all. the to-do about motherhood’s wonder was pretty much bunk manufactured by women in an age when motherhood as their only job and interest had to be inflated to tremendous proportions? Do you know, I find the new viewpoint awfully refreshing! Why This Is “Women for years have neglected to remedy their need of outside contacts to widen their interests and round out their personalities,” comments Anne Morgan. One is tempted to answer with the obvious comment that until this present, generation of women, woman has had little opportunity to make those “refreshing outside contacts” which have been the male lot ever since tlje first cave man went off on the chase with his fellows. It will take more than one generation “outside the home” to transform the average woman's diffidence as regards contact with strangers Into self-assurr ance.

Retrograde as Applied to Mothers BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Did a certain New York actress really use the word “retrograde” when her husband asked her to leave the stage and devote her time to their baby? Did she actually refuse to be ‘just-a-mother”? And did she say that such a course was "unreasonable and-antiquated”? Well, if she felt and thought that way, one must at least give her credit for being honest enough to say so, for although there isn’t a doubt that she has plenty of company in despising motherhood, few have had the courage to come right out and admit it. They usually have an alibi. Other mothers all over the country must have shuddered, as I did, when they read this scornful contempt for child rearing. Retrograde! Never have we heard before of one who thought that motherhood was lower than the stage or any other profession I looked at the young woman’s picture in the rotogravure section, taken with the baby in question—about the most? appealing bit of childhood I have ever seen, a boy of 2—and I have come to two conclusions: either 'he has been misquoted or she does not mean exactly what she says: If.neither are true there is only one thing that can account for such utterance: youtn and ignorance! There are little children whose mothers are occupied with business or professions, who really are better cared for by paid attendants, or in nursery-schools, than if their mothers were constantly at home. These are the children of women, who find themselves absolutely unfitted soy motherhood and who admittedly would only be able to give their the most casual personal attention. There are other children whose mothers must be away each day in order to provide the family with necessities or comforts. But these mothers don’t feel that they themselves would “retrograde” by staying at home. Near my desk hangs one of Raphael’s beautiful Madonnas. The child at her knee is about the age of the boy in the other picture. In each baby face is the same look of trust. It would need no second glance to tell which of the mothers had retrograded.

GORGEOUS FURS MEET COLD

wL. Jpvl

Mrs. Walter Sohst (left), Mrs. Henry T. Fleitmann (upper), and Elise Granbery.

BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—As days grow colder, furs certainly grow more sumptuous! I have been surprised at the variety of perfectly lovely mink, broadtail and other furs sdanking down the avenue. And at the gorgeous ermine and sable wraps that smart women are snuggling into of evenings. Everybody seems to have several! Mrs. Walter Sohst wore the first full length fur cape I’ve seen for street wear this season. Such a luxurious one, too, of mole fashioned into a kind of plaid border. It had a high collar. Under this cape she sponsored one of the new Cossack modes for daytime frocks. Made of bright blue rep, it had an embroidered Russian collar and left side banding from shoulder to low waist and a loose panel that hung well below the hem. Very chic and very different looking! Buttons, buckles, scarfs, flares and cuff-collar treatment all give diversity to furs. , Feminine Touch of Lynx Soft biack lynx gave that desirable feminine touch to a black broadcloth coat Mrs. Henry T. Fieitmenn wore recently. The collar was a round, collarette type and the cuffs had distinctive treatment—triangular bands of the fur running up the outside of the sleeve, pointing clear to the elbow. Fox. of course, is ever becoming. But the silver fox collar and cuffs on young Elise Granbery’s dark green coat was a very happy choice, it seemed to me, when I met her on Park Ave. Her hat. was extremely cute, too—a velvet turban with a perky bow on one side so big it almost equalled the size of the hat. Also her blouse of striped Rodier jersey deserved honorable mention. Os course furs are just one type of barometer for fashion. They tell the increasing femininity of the styles and I wonder just where they can go from here—everything is so pretty and elaborate right now. The thing that intrigues me this season is the way women know their own types and good points and play them up. Mrs. Howard F. Hutton’s slender figure was moulded in a pale pink chiffon gown of semi-princess lines at a recent dinner dance she gave. Mrs. Temple Johnson’s exotic beauty was heightened the same evening by her white satin frock, plain to the point of being tailored, with a gorgeous, brilliant kerchief of gold sequins knotted on one shoulder. Hair Ornaments, Too Hair ornaments, I note, grow apace. At the opera recently Mrs. Neely Vanderbilt wore an impressive coronet-like ornament across her head that bleamed in royal manner. Rhoda Low sponsored a novel cap of brilliants with an arrow crown of gleaming gems. Feathers seem to be staging a comeback for fans, via the line of ornamentation for frocks. I saw Mrs. Morris de Peyster, for instance, at the Ritz Carlton in a sweetly

pink frock, with feathered tiers, and to match them, she carried a stunning, big, pink feathered fan. Mrs. Carlie Sherrill used a fan in deep purple feathers to accent the shading o“ her orchid-purple chiffon gown at the recent dinner Mrs. William B. Bristow gave in the Ritz-Carlton’s oval room. Another chiffon gown that caught my eye and stimulated my imagination was one Mrs. Walter Rosen wore to a recent symphony concert. Flounced, with a stunningly unusual decolletage, this gown was of a deep tangerine shade and looked magnificent with her brocaded and be-furred wrap.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY tt tt tt A VANITY’S CONTENTS IS WHAT COUNTS

BY ANN ALYSIS The gilded and bejeweled vanity case is an article of prime importance in my lady’s toilet today, from a utilitarian, as well as an ornamental viewpoint. Infinite thought and care are given to the case itself by designer, silversmith and goldsmith, while chemist, pharmacist and manufacturer, by study and experiment, have succeeded in producing powders and rouges of perfect quality to match the beautiful container. In selecting your vanity case give your most careful thought to its contents, of rouge and powder, which you will find here in the form of tablets, or cakes, as they are commonly called. These cakes are made of the same materials as are other powders and rouges with the addition of tragacanth or similar mucilaginous substance used to hold the powders in the convenient tablet form. The presence of this mucilaginous matter has the effect of making the cosmetics not quite so impalpable as in the loose form, but this fault is more than counterbalanced by its greater convenience. All manufacturers of repute use the best of materials in making their product, so your problem will be to select the kind that agrees best with your skin and best matches the tones of your complexion. Be especially particular as to shade of rouge, seeing that it not only harmonizes with its companion powder cake, but that both harmonize with your coloring. Golden Wedding Mr. and Mrs. John Bentley Griffey, 525 Middle Dr., Woodruff Place, will celebrate their golden wedding anniversary tonight with a reception from 7 to 9 p. m. at their home. Shiny Buttons Always remove buttons when you have your frocks and suits cleaned, if you like to have your buttons stay shiny and new looking.

Why Not Married Partners? BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Mr. and Mrs. Lee Hermann of New York, are attracting a great deal of attention because they have announced that they will enter into a partnership for the practice of law. By all of the discussion one might think such a thing had never happened before. Authorities arc seriously discussing what they call this innovation, and wondering how it will turn out. Now the thing may be strange and unusual in New York, but out where the hicks reside it’s no great sight. Every small town west of the Mississippi has several business houses where the wife works right alongside of her husband. Papers are edited with papa and mama jointly engaged in the enterprise. Stores are run, bakeries and restaurants and tailor shops and garages can be found by hundreds where mother keeps the books, waits on customers, pays the bills, collects and generally contributes by industry, thrift and brains to the success of the business. Even law offices may be seen where wife and husband practice together. The only real innovation in this New York affair is that there will be two names instead of one on the door. Husbands and wives have been working together, and very amicably at that, for a great many years. Many a flourishing business has been built because of the efforts of an industrious woman who bears her children, looks after her home and in between times acts as assistant in the profession or business of her husband. Country women think nothing of that. Os course, they would be all excited if they knew they were going to go half and half with the money, as we presume Mrs. Hermann will do. For the small town business woman has been accustomed to working without a salary or even cigaret money. She was merely doing the thing that came to hand that looked as if it should be done. And never has she been able to get in the papers. In the main, these marital enterprises have been very successful, bot.i as to business and matrimony. Their only drawback is that the couple see too much of each other. When they are together all day, and then must spend their evenings in each other’s company, they are likely to get a bit fed up. Anyway, we wish Mrs. Hermann luck. Club Party The Gi-Co-Gi Club ' entertained with a Christmas party Wednesday night in the radio parlors of the Gibson Company. Games and music on the radio were part of the evening’s program and, a Santa Claus stunt was presented, after which the annual exchange of gifts was held and refreshments were served.
