MARYE and ‘MOM’ 9 9 9 THEIR LETTERS

Dear Mom: Well, darling, I’m coming home. So get out all those marvelous jams and jellies you’ve been fixing, and prepaid for a cleanup. And let’s have hct bread for every meal. And don’t worry, I’m not leaving my husband.. After a few weeks of the moso terrible agony on my part, during which time I suffered all the pangs that a silly, jealous miserable woman can suffer when she thinks somebody else is getting her man, all is rosy. And I honestly believe that I did penance for all fool things I’ve done, and all the suffering I have heaped upon my long suffering husband in our hectic period of married life. In order to tell you all about our glorious reconciliation, I shall' have to tell you my little secret—and I might as well inform you here and now that you are about to become a grandmother. And if baby hands don’t do for my character what you have promised, and if they don’t give me that valuable perspective on life and that swell sense of values I’ve never had, then at least, I’ve silenced you on your best argument Things with Alan and me went rather badly, and as I told you, I became the biggest and best weeper in this part of the country. One evening at a dance down here at the hotel, I was looking my most charming in my white georgette and pearls, and Alan was just starting to dance with that Helen person, whom I hope never to see, when I just went mid-Victorian, and pulled a faint that would have made any dime novel heroine rage with jealousy. I came to with Alan, and a doctor bending over me. The doctor besides informing me that I was to have a son and heir, said that I was quite run down and nervous, and that I needed a complete rest. After he had left, I told Alan that child or no child, I was leaving him flat, and that so far as I was concerned he and Helen could plan on my being out of the pic-’ ture as soon as I decently could. Alan nearly dropped dead. It seems that Helen had told him a lot of stuff about Mr. Shelton and me being madly in love, and he had been perfectly wretched, and had been paying attention to Helen, only because he was so miserable and so sure he had lost me. Well, the long and the short of it is, that we patched up our difficuties, swore never to lie or deceive each other again. And I’m coming home for a visit with you while Alan goes on a business trip to Chicago, and then we are going on a nice vacation together for a month. No more summer hotels for me. Lovingly, MARYE.

CHIFFON AND LACE DRESSES SEEN IN PARIS

Plain colors and original designs for summery formal wear: Left to right, a flesh colored chiffon has graceful decorative lines of *t p ’ss accenting its intricate cut; a swathed hipline, long scarf and original beaded design give distinction to a turquoise blue gown and a skirt of fluttering feathers and a soft bodice of chiffon give infinite charm to a white evening gown.

By ROSETTE NEA Fashion Expert PARIS, July 18.—The gala events which marked the closing of one of the most brilliant of Paris seasons presented a feast of color and a character of gorgeousness which had not been witnessed for many years. Famous racing days like the Journee des Drags and the Grand Prix, and the Opera ball, which is the last of smart functions, are intensely interesting from a woman’s point of view. They are a confirmation of what the smart set has been pleased to approve of in the way of fashions and the gowns seen at the end of the season are those which will later on grace the Promenades and Casinos of the fashionable resorts. Although many printed silk chiffon voiles were stiff seen, it was evident the woman of discrimination had decreed that however delightful and becoming this type of dress could be, it had become altogether too popular. It had fallen into the domain of the informal dress. Lace Frocks Are Simple For a very smart and formal occasion during the late summer and autumn, the plain colored chiffon or lace dress will be seen. Beige, grey, navy blue and black are the best colors in both fabrics. For a lace dress, a very simple, even severe style is always chosen, to offset the richness of the material. The lace tailleur is proving popular in this order of idea and really looks very chic. Some of the well-known coutu riers have made dresses for garden parties or an afternoon at the Casino in plain black tulle illusion and these look very unusual, provided they are lightened up by a brilliant touch of color. The wraps and coats seen this summer are extremely varied. Starting early in the day, there arc the three-quarter length coats in bright blue or scarlet, with brass buttons which look squally well on the links, beach or tennis court. Coat Shorter Than Dress Then there is the coat (which is not exactly a coat) and which we call a “dalmatique” over here. This is being ordered by smart women to wear with fluffy mousseline or crepe de chine dresses. Imagine a perfectly straight garment which buttons down to the hem, with a perfectly plain, square-cut collar and made so that the dress underneath shows at least three inches below the hem and sleeves. There are many variations which can be wrung in on this idea and one of its qualities is that it can be made to slip over more than one dress, besides affording a protection for chilly days. The charming accessories which a woman can add to her toilette this summer seem legion. Flowers feathers, ribbons, handkerchiefs scarfs, all are fashionable. Two or three sets of these accessories with one well-cut dress as a background will lend the look of a varied wardrobe. The long feather boa made its appearance on the race courses and some summer evening wraps have deep feather collars and cuffs. There are short neckpieces in speckled feathers, too, which come in black and white and grey and white and look very youthful. Another novelty which will be

He-Men Nation \s Need, Declares Marie Dressier

By NEA Servlcs Marie dressler, famous comedian, blames Mr. Modern Man for what’s wrong with America today. She says: “The chief trouble with the women of today can be found in the men who surround them. We shall have better women when we have better men! ‘‘There are, sad to relae, very few He-Men today. That's rather tough on the women. I suppose they are making the best of it, but they are getting a bad break. “I believe women really miss the Cave Man, whose methods we so loudly decried as vulgar and brutal. But I am old enough and still young enough to believe that the man who lets his girl know he might beat her is the man who really loves her. “In America the chief offender of social decency tc -.ay is the young married woman, tne wealthy wife with too much leisure. She has a man taking care of her every need and a protected home. Yet she openly flouts this confidence to go her merry, jazzy way. The modern man is as selfish of his own interests as his beautiful, but dumb partner. He is so soft he makes things soft for her too. “The modern woman has too much cake. She is nauseated with her diet of sweets and hasn't seen yet that the world has no permanent place for wasters. Wealth has suffocated the average woman high up on the social ladder and her example of recklessness is being felt all down the line. What she really needs is an old-fashioned He-Man. with an iron hand, to steady her.” Laundering Curtains If laundering curtains for the first time, soak them overnight in warm water to free from dressing. If they are older curtains soak overnight in cold water. Jammed Windows To move a window that sticks, take hold of the ropes at each side and draw them as far as possible, then let them go with a snap. Washing Blankets In washing blankets, first shake out all the dust, then plunge them into thick hot suds for an hour or so. Wash quickly in clean hot suds, hang single on the line, stretching ‘veil and pinning firmly and smoothly. Rinse with the hose.

beaded dress is still in favor, but the beading has to be distinctive It outlines a drapery, runs in a floral pattern all round the hem, or simulates a bolero effect. The very latest addition to lingerie is the strass heart applique which Nicole Groult created. This is usually stitched on the right side of the slip which comes with a chis - son dress and faintly glimmers through the flimsy frock. It is an amusing novelty which has been a great success.

Designing Offers Good Field for Feminine Work By NEA Servlet American girls are the coming czars of fashion, in the opinion of Ethel Traphagen. eminent artist and head of her own school of designing. “I agree with Lady Duff-Gordon wlio recently declared ‘The future of fashion designing lies in America, for where money and leisure are, in the larger sense there is where artists flourish’,” Miss Trapnagen said. “American women understand American psychology. Tne growth of American designers to the fore. Therefore there are increasing opportunities in the field of designing for the American girl. “A keen appreciation of line and color is a necessary first-equipment of one who would design costumes,” she continued. “I believe American costumes should use designs created from ideas garnered at American museums and libraries. My pupils also actually study the materials with which American manufacturers must work. A knowledge of the pliability, weight and texture of their fabrics and the practical uses of all designs should be considered before sketches are offered manufacturers.” Lace Gowns The lace afternoon gown is very smart in Paris, worn with a coat of the same color in wool or silk, both the coat and the frock conform to the tailored idea. Tiered Skirt Many of the smartest tiered skirts scoop up in front, but show a closely molded belt and hip line, the belt much lower in the back than in the front.

Swains of Fiction Too Faithful Eugene O’Neill’s newest play, “The Strange Interlude,” is an innovation in drama and goes on through nine acts. Its merits or shortcomings shall be left to critics who are capable of discussing it. I launched into the thick of it and kept all the intricate love affairs straight, weeping over the heart-rending situations with the most sentimental of them. Nevertheless, deep and interesting as the play is, I was heartily incensed when I came to its end. During the last three acts I expected to see at least one of those early day sweethearts fade out. I imagined that Mr. O’Neill would be realistic and that in the final curtains we should see poor Nina, old and forlorn and unloved, just as women are left in reality. But, no; like all men, he idealizes the male. And his heroine succeeded, in spite of her goings-on, in keeping three devoted swains at her elbow for an entire lifetime. Such things are possible but certainly not probable. The gentlemen in books always seem so much more faithful and romantic than those we meet in real life. There is scarcely a heroine but has cached somewhere a perfectly splendid specimen of manhood, who remains put, seemingly living only for her pleasure. He is charming, cultured, intelligent and devoted, and constantly waiting her call. Then when the husbard misbehaves or kicks off, the swain offers himself as a sacrifice either to awaken marital jealousy or better still, as second husband. This. I suppose, is a necessary part of fiction—this keeping in reserve the former sweetheart who remains forever faithful. Asa matter of fact, however, only once in a thousand times does such a tnir.g occur in real life. The occasions when a widow marries a love of her youth are few and far between. They’re very thrilling to read about, I grant you—these charming men who love one woman through long unhappy years, but we’d best let the girls in on a secret. It's not a good idea to depend upon them.

Wives Keep Interest in Your Looks BY MARTHA LEE I am going to write today aoout making the most of your look?. I had so many letters recently from women who complain that their husbands refuse to ta':e them out; that they do not seem to have the slightest interest in them; that they show interest in other women. I do not say that this is always the case, but often the interest dies because the interest of the wife in herself has died. She no longer cares whether her hair is combed attractively, whether her clothes are neat and modish, her fingernails cared for. These things, trivial and superficial as they may seem, are absolutely important. And no matter how little you have to buy clothes with, you can attain these things by careful selection. Plenty of soap and water, a nail file and a neat dress go a long way towards brushing up interest that seems gone. Generally the husband himself does not realize the reason foi his declining interest. It does seem so trivial, so unnecessary in the scheme of things, but it is important, more important than you would think. A man wants to be proud of the things that are his. He wants most of all to be nroud of his wife. And how can he be, if she is untidy and careless about her personal appearance? Take pride and interest in yourself, if you want others to do likewise. Don’t go shuffling around the house in a dirty house dress, unkempt hair and run-over heels. Dear Miss lee: I have been married nve years. Before our marrisße, we used to go out quite a bit. During the last two years, mv husband absolutely refuses to go out with me. He go*s out often by himself. T am young and 11k* oomnanionshJ" and BLU*r icvjr* Blue Eyes, think twice about the advice concerning your personal appearance. That may not be tne correct answer, but it may have some bearing on the solution to your problem. Dear Miss Lee: I met a boy at a danr# the other nieht. I was very much attracted t him and would like to see h'm apeln. He has not called me nor did ha ask me for a date the nicht I met him. Ts there any way I could Interest him in me? NORM* If you should meet him on the street, see him at another dance or run on to him accidentally in any wav, Norma, you might make a special effort to be pleasant. But as far as making arrangements uj see him again, there is no way that you could rlnen the friendship if anything. that would make the ,rteridship impossible.

Green Peppers Creamed, baked codflish is a much more delectable dish when chopped green peppers are added for seasons ing. Spicy Cantaloupe Serve cantaloupe or honey dew melon with grated ginger and lemon.
