Wavering Girl Should Be Avoided by Man Seeking Happiness in Marriage By MARTHA LEE A WAVERING answer is far worse than an answer that is definite!}’’ in the negative. The man who receives an answer of this sort is wise if he takes it as dismissal because it proves that the girl does not know her own mind. When a girl is in love and has had a reasonable length of time to decide the question of whether or not she wishes to marry she should be capable of giving a direct answer. Her
answer should not change from yes to no, depending upon whether the young man is with her or away from her. The girl who is influenced by any one shows that she has a weak character. A girl of this sort will be the type of a wife who will be susceptible to any attractive man who flirts with her. She will never be sure she did the right thing in marrying the man she did. Constantly she will be reproaching him for having convinced her to marry him against the dictates of her better judgment. My advice to young men in this situation is to take the “I don’t know” reply as a strictly “no” decision. There are many other girls, my friends, who have the ability to say “yes” with conviction, so it is futile to risk your happiness on the wavering girl. Dear Miss Lee: I am a constant reader of your advice to persons in trouble. I am a man, 32, and have been married three times, the last one died a year ago last November. I met a very sweet, girl, and we started going together. She told me that she had been married and had two children but was getting her divorce, so we went together until March 3 this year. I bought her an engagement ring Christmas eve, and we were supposed to nave been married as soon as she got her divorce. I told her all my life's nistory and she said that did not matter, that she loved me. I have a home of four rooms, completely furnished and offered to get her anything she wanted. She seemed wild about me until the last week I went with her. Then she would write me that she was through with me and then I would go down to see her and she could not say "no.” In my presence she can not say "no” and when I am not with her she says she is through with me. Last Saturday evening Instead of meeting me at a friend's house as she had told me she would, she left a letter telling me that she cared nothing for me. that I was too old and had been married too many times. I answered her letter asking her if she ever saw her mistake to call me or write me but she did not answer my letter. She is past 21. Will you please advise me? HOME LOVER. Dear Home Lover: This girl has proven to you that she did not care anything for you by her changing her mind so often. She had doubts as to whether you would make a good husband for her when you were not with her. VVnen you were with her, these doubts were dispelled by your interesting persornlity, perhaps. Take your dismissal and forget this girl. I admit there is some excuse for the girl’s indecision. A man who has been married three times by the time he i.; 32 naturally seems a bad matrimonial risk. As long as she felt that way, you never would have been happy together and I am sure you want to make your next marriage your last one.
Dear Miss Lee: I want your advice. I have a daughter. 34. who is married to a “sissy” for a husband. He doesn’t do a thing but run around with his brother and drink. My daughter has been married five years, and he has not done anything for her during that time. He stays with his mother and she stays with me. He comes to see her as a sweetheart would two times a week for awhile. Then he gets angry and stays awav for awhile. He just causes trouble. She works and pays her board and buys her clothes. If she is sick and asks him for money, he gets angry. I do not think I can stand it much longer. I am 59. What do vou advise me to do? AN OLD MOTHER. Dear Old Mother: Os course, a mother has the interest of her children at heart. However you are assuming your daughter’s problem. Let her decide this herself. A woman of 34 is no child, you know. She has a mind capable of looking after her own affairs and I am sure she would resent any interference from you. Since she pays for her board and clothes, you have no objections from the financial standpoint. My opinion of your daughter is that she is a very foolish woman to put up with this worthless husband. Most women would not tolerate such treatment . Still if she is happy you had better keep your opinion to yourself because you only cause her trouble for which she will never forgive you. Another thing, are you sure you gave the true facts about the case? You know that many times women as they grow older will permit themselves to become narrow in their judgment of persons. As the youngsters say, they become “crabby. Surely you would hate to be labelled as such so try and keep away from saying unkind things. Mrs. Irma W. A.: Your husband is so impossible that tne only thing for you to do is to leave him. How did you ever let him start treating you the way he does now? Surely he was kind to you before you married him or else you would never have consented to be his wife. Husbands have to be trained, my dear, and you certainly did not use the right method, I am afraid. Since there seems nothing you can do about it now, I really think you would be happier away from him. Waistlines New silk smocks in fancy little prints have wide belts to fasten tightly around the natural waistline, giving quite different silhouettes.

PARK AVENUE’S SPRING SUITS
JR ■lff J A f. : . ' • 'f, J • :i| * * % Si ir W < !
Mrs. Langdon Post BY BETSY SCHUYLER NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, March 15.—Dapper days are in store for Park Ave. with the advent of the swanky little spring suits. They are beginning to appear now whenever the sun shines brightly enough to give the illusion of a warm day. Spring suits have the same lilting psychology of the first crocus and the first robin’s call. But this year they seem doubly fresh, pleasing and snappy because of the almost übiquitous fur coats. Not that I want to discredit some of the masterpieces of fur that strutted Gotham's avenues this winter! But spring suits are a welcome change. The strictly tailored, I suppose, is the inevitable choice for spring of a certain type of immaculately groomed Social Registerite. But if there's any wavering, Dame Fashion certainly seems to furnish enough variety to suit the most individualminded. Long-coated Tweed The long-coated tweed suit, with sweater blouse, is one chaiming version of spring suit modes. Mrs. Langdon Post came out of Pierre's looking fresh as a spring morning in a brown and tan tweed suit with three-quarters coat. The skirt had ample fullness, by way of box pleats. And the coat gained grace by having a slightly nipped-in waistline. Just a suggestion of a molded silhouette. The coat was collarless and cuffless, being finished with one-inch bandings. And the angora sweater blouse, in a lighter shade, had the same banding around its pointed neckline. She wore a double pointed fox neckpiece. And her hat had a smart modernistic pin it in—of gold and enamel. Mrs. Martin Scott looked exceedingly trim in anew black tailored suit of soft woolen. It had a tuxedo front and one day she wore the smartest of smart little white silk pique blouses. This new silk pique has the edge on almost all shirtings for style, it seems to me. On Lady Diana Manners The new type of suit that promises great vogue is the kind Lady Diana Manners introduced to Park Ave. one warm day, the silk jacket frock. This is a silk frock with its own jacket and it seems to me one fine escape from the ennui of longcoated ensembles. Lady Manners was exquisite in black fiat crepe, with great sheen in it. The frock had the irregular SCHLOSBER’S CMSrove Butter C/resh ChurnedfromfyeshCnam

Lady Diana Manners curved neckline that is vastly smart when just right. And of course hers was! It was outlined with one of the soft beige pinks and a ittle tab of the pink relieved the black by hanging down the left side. She wore an extremely becoming hat of black pica, a fine new straw, faced with pink silk. Her use of pink emphasizes that color's popularity now. The return of flesh and soft beige pinks—even for smart bathing suits —is one more indication of how ladylike are the new modes. For pink does something nice to a woman’s face which makes me welcome its return to favor.

BEAUTY HOW and WHY CURVES BEST FOR SQUARE FACES
BY ANN ALYSIS In giving advice for proper makeup for the square type face, we have in mind such a face unmodified by rounded or tapering chin or oval forehead. Generally, all square faces should have the hair waved and dressed in curves over the forehead, and the neckband should be cut in points or curves in order to break the too geometrical straight character lines. There is, however, just one exception to these instructions. When the features are classically beautiful or distinguished, emphasize your type. Bring it out strongly by adding more straight lines to those you already possess. However, women find curves more often suited to their types than straight lines. For the long, narrow, square face, rouge deeply at the inner cheek, carrying the color all the way to the ears, but not going too close to the eyes or jaw line. The medium square face should have the rouge applied more deeply in the central part of the cheek, fading to light pink near the ears. The short square face should be deeply rouged to the inner cheek, close to the eyes, fading out gradually toward the ears.
Life's Niceties Hints on Etiquet
1. What, generally, is the best preparation for the social requirements of adult life? 2. When do most children becom. extremely sensitive about the details of good form? 3. Should parents ever ridicule their studied efforts to do the right thing? The Answers 1. A home where children learn, through example, the courtesies of life. 2. During adolescence, especially at high school age. 3. Certainly not. They should assist them. Chicken Waffles Mi.: minced chicken with unsweetened waffle batter and serve with maple sugar and you have an unusually fine luncheon. Tired Feet Three, tablespoonfuls of ammonia and a cup of salt added to a footbasin of hot water is ideal for bathing tired feet. Rinse in cold water before drying. Garlic Touch When cooking mutton, or any inexpensive cut of beef or lamb, rub your roasting pan with a little garlic and you will have a much tastier meat. If you want to boil soft-shelled eggs, put quite a little salt in the water. It tends to prevent their cracking.
