Shop Talk Despair of Many Wives BY MARTHA LEE. You no doubt have heard the one about the felloe In the circus, whose job It was to feed the animals, spending his vacation in the zoo. And the automobile mechanic who Ijas an afternoon off and spends It in his garage fixing his own car. It's bad enough to be one of these fellows, who simply can't tear themselves away from their work even in their lighter moments. But worse, oh, ten times worse, is it to be a wife who must suffer a martyrdom unknown since the days of the rack and thumb screws. I always have been one to hold that a wife should evince interest in her husband's business affairs. When he shows an inclination to let her in on some of his daily trials and tribulations at the office, she should listen and as patiently and intelligently as he does when she relates the way Junior has acted all day and how the baby almost broke a tooth trying to bite a chunk out of the stove leg and how Mrs. Whoozis had the nerve to come over and borrow another cup of sugar after the way she has acted. Wife Has Some Right* The incidents leading up to his finding that Important letter in the zs instead of the a’s, where it belonged, may not be the most interesting as he believes it to be, but at least it is as interesting as the affair with Mrs. Whoozis. That's part of being married. But that does not mean he should have a monopoly upon the conversation and that he should be allowed to dwell hour after hour on every little thing concerning his work. A wife has some rights. And one of them is to be allowed a choice, at least once in a w T hile, as to w'hat she must listen for several hours an evening. Dear Martha Lee: I have a problem for you. What cure Is there for a man who will talk nothing but shop? I eat my meals to the tune of shop, hear shop all the rest of the evening and even when I am trying to read. Any conversation I get must be shop. If I try to switch him over to another subject, I get a grunt or silence. We are strangers here. The only acquaintances we have are men from his place of business. When any one comes to call, I would like to keep the conversation Interesting for the other wives and myself, but what do you think we talk? Why. shop. And shop as the topic goes strong during the entire visit. Too Much "Shop" T realize It Is a necessity to work, but I don’t feel it imperative to talk about it the rest of the waking hours. There isn’t a chance to get a word in edgewise. All I can do is to sit and listen. And when the evening Is over, I feel like a dud. I have asked him as a special favor to forget it for one evening, but that’s never happened yet. Don’t think I am not interested in his work. I am. But I’m sick unto death of hearing about it ALL the time. Is there any way I can break him of this habit? I suppose you will tell me It is all right for him to talk about his work. And it probably is for those who do not have to hear it all the time. Bea Solomon and tell me a part cure that will work. I could stand it part time. HOPEFUL. If he has a sense of humor you might suggest that he talk shop several evenings a w-eek. and demand a penalty if he breaks that compromise. If he hasn't a sense of humor, don’t try that. Beat Him to It I have yet to see a woman who can not out-talk a man when she sets her mind to it. Why not get the conversation started before he has a chance? Give him your shop talk for several evenings and he will soon see that even the most patient spouse may tire of hearing nothing else. „ . . And there always Is a walk to be taken or a book to read. When your callers come, why not take the women guests into another room, where you can discuss the things women like to discuss, without interfering in the. conversation of the men. As for breaking the habit, you will have to be your own Solomon in that case.

T ACE and chitton seem to show a remarkable affinity for each other in the design of evening gowns for fall. Which is natural enough, of course, but the results being obtained this season are distinctly different. One of the most charming effects is obtained by combining a skirt of lace and a bodice of plain chiffon, usually of the same color. As such a combination fails to ‘ hang together,” however, the lace motif is repeated at the top in a big lace bertha collar, matching the skirt. This collar is quite deep, falling in the back to just above the waistline. Need we say that the effect is stunning? a tt tt IN other instances, dresses for very smart, formal occasions are entirely of chiffon, but have a wide hem of lace, placed at a slant so as to give the back-dipping hemline. If the dress is white or rose, a light colored lase, such as ecru, is used, whereas if the dress is red, green or blue, the hem is of black lace, giving a rather Spanish effect.

Tweeds Are Chosen for Day Wear BY FRANCES PAGET, Copyright. 1929, by Style Sources By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—After a careful digest of the opening reports, one prescribes tweed for the daytime ensemble with every confidence in its being correct, since the tweed ensemble was not absent from any of the Paris collections. Chevron and diagonal woolens and other novelty tweeds were fashioned into jacket costumes and three and four-piece ensembles. Greens and browns, as for instance brown and white or brown and beige were honored in all sports groups. Tuck-in Blouses Used Tuck-in blouses in tricot and novelty jersey united with tweed for some costumes, the jackets of which vary in length. Violet is featured in some collections for costumes of silk and black and white in others. While of course sports clothes were somewhat soft pedaled in the openings, that they registered at all considering the elaboration which surrounded them proves that this type is by no means unwanted. Light weight woolen dresses scored heavily while the jacket suit is as useful a member of society as ever. Length Is Set Three inches below the knee is the accepted length for sports and practical street attire although more daring exponents of the lengthened line show skirts hovering anywhere from the calf to the ankle. Molyneux chooses to ignore this new silhouette, but the majority indorse it and continue the long skirted evening gown. In some instances they straightened the hem so that the gown is ankle length from any ankle. Goodrich-Yarling Miss Mary Elizabeth Goodrich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Goodrich, Shelbyville, will marry Frank Clark Yarling, Louisville, Sept. 23, at the home of bride’s parents. Miss Goodrich was graduated from Butler university. Mr. Yarling, son of Mrs. Will H. Yarling. Shelbyville, was graduated from Purdue university, where he was a member of Acacia fraternity.

Your Child Constant Vigilance Required to Balk Epidemic Outbreaks

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON. Fall and school just a few knots ahead and vaccination shoal to be passed! Children entering school and kindergarten first must be vaccinated according to the laws of state boards of health, enforced by the states themselves. Many parents wonder why we stick to vaccination and consider it old-fogeyism that should have passed with cupping and bloodletting. Smallpox, they remind us, is a thing of the past, or almost, and why should we be using antedeluvian methods now T ? From a School Official To- those parents who are so amazed that the state still is insisting on vaccination in -these seemingly immune times, and in some cases strenuously objecting to their children having to submit to it, it might be of service if I repeat what I heard the superintendent cf health in a certain city say to an anxious mother one time: “The other day the city council decided to put in anew filtration plant,’’ he told her, “a plant that will cost the taxpayers of this town about two million dollars. “Immediately there was a storm of protest, as you know, and some of the indignant citizens came to the council meeting yesterday to insist that it was an outrage. ’We’ve got a plant now,’ said one man. ’lsn’t that good enough?’ “ ‘lt’s too small, and it’s worn out.’ was the answer, ‘The city’s growing ’ That Old Bugaboo ■ “ ‘Well, there isn’t any typhoid 1 f#ver any more scarcely,’ he came back. ’What’s the use of scaring up that old bugaboo every few years?’ And there you had it. : That’s what they all thought. ‘What’s the use of fighting typhpid when it has almost disappeared?’ was the argument they all used. “It took three doctors to convince those citizens that typhoid hadnt disappeared. Madam, but that it was merely kept down by purifying the

Manion. 611 Carlisle place, at 8 o'clock this morning at St. Francis de Sales church. The Rev. Bernard Sheridan, pastor, performed the ceremony and read nuptial high mass. The chancel was banked with palms and ferns and the altar lighted with candles. Miss Alice Voisart, organist, presented a group of bridal airs preceding the ceremony. The church choir sang during mass. Mrs. Edward Manion, the bride's only attendant, wore a brown transparent velvet gown, brown close-fitting felt hat and brown slippers, and carried an arm bouquet of yellow roses. Edward Manion. brother of the bridegroom, was best man. The bride wore a brown transparent velvet ensemble made w r ith simple draped skirt and finger tip length jacket. She wore brown slippers and hat and carried yellow roses. Following the ceremony, a wedding breakfast was served to members of the immediate families and bridal party at Page’s country home.

water, and keeping it pure; like a giant in hiding, it would come out at first sign that vigilance had been lifted, and there would be another epidemic. “If we did away with vaccination, in a few months smallpox would be raging. We must keep it down.” A Satisfying Explanation She seemed satisfied with the explanation and said she no longer would object to her boy having the innoculatiop. It may explain why schools are so strict about the little yellow slips, each signed by a doctor attesting to the fact that your child ha# been vaccinated successfully. Behind the school is the board of health; behind that is the state and it is the duty of the state to protect its people from epidemics and disease. Just one more word that may be a comfort to mothers. Vaccine virus is pure these days and it is possible now to keep it entirely fresh. Ask the doctor how to keep the small abrasion clean and sanitary and I don’t think you’ll have any trouble. Celebrate Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. William Allen celebrated their sixtieth w-edding anniversary at their home near Carnpbellsburg Sunday. More than fifty guests attended.

Good Sense Helps Over Hard Spots BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON. The mother-in-law problem is always with us, at least according to the women columnists. Like the mother-in-law joke, it is being worked to death. And as usual with us, we are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Years ago whenever dependent old women had to go and live in a son's house, trouble often arose. This was not only because the two women were daughter-in-law and mother-in-law, but primarily because they were women. Os course, the poor mother-in-law had to bear the brunt of the blame. She was the interloper and therefore supposed to be the aggressor in case of disagreement. Frequently she was a. martyr as well, because the world is also full of daughters-in-law who are not so nice as they might be. We expect too much of ourselves when we imagine that we can live together amicably for very long. A mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law are no exception to this. And so less and less do we insist upon such an arrangement. We know how quickly our bad old human nature can pop up and play havoc with all our good intentions an* because we do not wish to see thofftf we love unhappy, we are learning to live apart. Men and women after they have reached the age of 30 find it hard to adjust themselves to the living habits of others. They should not, have to do so. Each of us has some pet folly, each is either voluble or grouchy before breakfast, and each has hisjunny and silly little habits. Just a. little more common sense is all we need to help us over the hard places, a few more tolerances for each other and a little more charity. In a world where husbands and wives find it so hard to agree, why do we expect the impossible of a mother-in-law?
