’Vis Human to Envy Lot of Others BY MARTHA LEE Shakespeare, who knew his women, aid “Frailty, thy name is woman.” I wonder why he never added “Dissatisfaction, thy name is humanity.” Can you beat us for always wanting what we haven't got? If we're rich, we are so sure we could be happy if we were only poor. If we are poor we are convinced that riches would bring us all the happiness there Is to be had in the world. When w'e are eighteen we wish we were twenty-eight, and when we have passed into the thirties, we and give our right legs, arms and ears o be in our ’teens. If, we are girls, we want to be \>oys, and if we are boys we want to oe men. If we’re single and free, we truggle with all our charm, beauty, It" and anything else we can use ,5 a magnet to drag some man down the aisle of a church in order t hat we may be married and bound. No One to Worry About If we re married, we wish with all our hearts we were out earning our own livings and leading our own lives. If we’re men and husbands, we envy, with green eyes, the life of a bachelor at his club. He can take his pay envelope each week and show himself a big time. He has no one in the world to worry about but himself. He can dress himself up and step out all he pleases with whom he pleases and no questions asked. But if we’re bachelors, we look with sad wisdom on the happiness of the man who has a home, a wife and some kiddies. Is there no pleasing us mortals? Mast we always be looking with envy upon the lot of our neighbors and friends? Must Find Good Points The secret of happiness, in any sphere of life at all, is to get the most out of what we have and shut up about it. There’s plenty to be said in favor of any sphere. We lust have to find the good points and swear by them. Dissatisfaction is said to be responsible for bringing about progress. Constructi re dissatisfaction does. But this blind coveting, this cancerous envy, this disturbing desire for what we haven’t is awfully bad. A voung girl, who chose her lot In life when she was quite young, has tired of it and wants to ease out. When she should have been learning early American history and studying the Renaissance poets, she was getting herself married. Now she’s sorry. Drar Miss Lee —1 am 18. yet I feel flftv. T have been married two years and have a r>fthy utrl eight months old. I love her dearly. I was In love with my husband until a few months aito. We have lived with his parents ever since our marrlaee. When we went there he said It was for a few weeks. This mother begs him not to leave. He no longer cares for me. I am sure. He never speaks a kind word to me. 1 have met another man. What shall I do? If I leave. It will be Impossible for me to work, because I am not well enough, but it’s hard, living like this. UNHAPPY WIFE. Why don’t you smarten up and settle down like a young wife should? Two years of marriage and you’re ready to call it quits? You say your husband does not love you. Have you done anything lately for which he could possibly love you? You have whined about living with his parents. You have complained about your health (you do in this letter). You have allowed some other man, however slight the attraction, to divert your attention from your marriage vows. And you have a little girl 8 months old, whom you say you can not support if you do leave. Made Her Own Choice Your life at 16 was your own to do with as you pleased. You did. You got married. And now you have a child, and your life no longer is your own. I would suggest that you make concentrated efforts to win back your husband's affections. No doubt if you prove yourself worthy of taking care of a home of your own and your child he will see that you get a home. And about other men. think how you would feel if it could be said of you that you were a trifler, after your own little girl has grown to the age where she could condemn you for past actions.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Reverence for Women Is Stale Cry BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON If there's one phrase that should be eliminated from common usage it is this: “Reverence for womanhood.” Why in the name of all that is sensible should womanhood be reverenced any more than manhood? This sentence has been blatted common respect for women, and shrilled forth by more women who didn’t know what they were talking about than any other in our lan--Iguage. The idea itself Is a hangover from the days of anti-macassar morals. It has no place these days upon mortal lips, even those of an AntiSaloon leaguer. ! The irritating thing about the ! trite sentiment is that it originated : during a time when women were i given no consideration at all except ,n romance and poetry. When motherhood was most exploited and | every great painter expended his i talents upon the Madonna subject, i mothers themselves had no privileges under the law. Anyway, the poor old phrase has been worked to death by everybody ! who ever ran for office. If women now had to depend upon masculine reverence for getting along, they i would have the same hard sledding I as did those poor things of the good i old days when reverence was about ■ all a female ever got. It readily can be recalled that not long ago the welkin resounded more loudly than usual with this brave | sentence. The Ku-Klux Klan rej vived it, and while an eloquent ! speaker arose and held forth upon j such sweet paths of eloquence, ! bands of other men, masked, gal- ! lantly hauled out ladies from the I underworld and whipped them right manfully, which generally is the way this reverence business works. Worships the woman who is up, kick the one who is down. Make dresses bright as new! DIAMOND DYES are easy to use; go on smoothly and evenly; make j dresses, drapes, lingerie look NEW. | Never a trace of that redyed look j when Diamond Dyes are used. Just I true, even, new colors that hold their own through the hardest wear and washing. Diamond Dyes owe their superiority to the abundance of pure anilines they contain. Cost more to make. Surely. But you pay no more for them. All drug stores—lsc. DkimondoDyes Kigkst Quality for 50 Yaar*

BEAUTY—HOW TO ACHIEVE IT B B B HUB B B B Makeup Secrets Revealed by an International Authority by V. E. MEADOWS

YESTERDAY I talked about what I am prone to call laziness. I did not, however, tell you the length of time necessary properly to take care of your face. I think to most any woman that an investment of thirty minutes in the morning and an equal number of minutes in the evening toward taking care of her face would be well worth the dividends she would receive. However, I want to tell you that after you learn how, it will never take you more than fifteen minutes in the morning to properly protect your face and fifteen minutes in the evening to properly cleanse your face. No one is going to wave a magic wand over you and perform t v .ese tasks for you. Only by your own persistent efforts will you accomplish the results you desire, and you certainly should not allow yourself to

be a quitter. Many times I have been asked,, “What is the proper age that a child should begin to wear cosmet- j ics?” I would by all means insist that a child wear face powder and a finishing location for her neck and arms at the age of 14 years, because when they start to mature as women, the things that they use on their face will be more or less permanent. If any of you mothers are having j any difficulty -with the youngsters, j write to me and explain these diffi- 1 culties. Whenever you write me for j any person and want to know what to use on any person’s face, give me the color yf their eyes, hair, and skin, as this is super-important. Now, Just a word about pimples and blackheads. I told you in previous articles how to cleanse your face for the removal of blackheads. I have had many inquiries in regard to pimples, through which were

scattered blackheads. This indicates simply an under-surface dirt. First, I never want you to pinch blackheads or pimples, and this is the reason. If you do, you sooner or later are going to form scar-tissue, either in the form of slick hard lumps, or ugly scars, and I know of nothing that will overcome these.

Fabrics Are Stressed in New Styles BY FRANCES PAGET iCopyrlght, 1930. by Btv!e Sourcesl NEW YORK, March 21.—Eye witnesses of the Paris openings show considerable enthusiasm for the models launched, and being back “on the job” have retained the enthusiasm for the novelty fabrics and details Involved.

heavier crepes and of combination silk and wool fabrics. Satin polka dots on a chiffon ground, in f aeon no effect, combining blue and white, describe one featured material. Printed chiffons, printed taffetas, printed crepes are re-marked in small, allover patterns of softly blended colors. Tulips, ships, and bouquet motifs are mentioned. Monotone chiffons are cited in high favor, likewise mousseline de soie in garden and party dresses. Anew net, having large woven polka dot motifs receives praise, and wool voile is cited for sportswear. Laces are indorsed highly. Color interest divides between the sulphur greens, pink-lilac as shown by Lucile Paray and Germaine Dacomte, and Patou's rose opaline, by itself for sports or evening w r ear, and as trimming on navy or black for daytime wear. Black Is declared very important, as are combinations of black and white.
