Just Ever}' Day Sense

B 1 MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

I HAVE no moral scruples against women smoking. Why should cigarets be any more harmful than too many pork chops or too many pills? But my housewifely instincts rise up to give battle every time I see a feminine addict coming. For the cigaret is the most diabolical enemy of :1c nliness that the home ever has had to contend against. And one smoker can make more litter than three sets of twins. Strangely, also, women appear even more messy with their smoking than men. Whether they have not yet become expert, or whether it is fundamentally alien to their natures, is hard to determine. But the truth is that few are really good smokers. The art sits uneasily, if not awkwardly, upon us and no cigaret ever manages to seem part of a woman as it does when a man handles it. Either our hands are not skillful or the nether lip hangs down too low while holding the fag, or the ashes fall at the wTong moment. O M o IN a woman's mouth the cigaret always has a sort of show-off swagger, a tilt of surprise to find itself there, whereas it fits into a man’s face as naiurally as his nose does. Women must get a great deal of satisfaction out of this habit, since they have taken to it in such numbers everywhere. But they have added nothing to the dignity of the cigaret. And so far as coquetry is concerned, the old-fashioned fan could be used more effectively. As I said before, the mere act of smoking doesn’t bother me. What I object to. what riles me tremendously, is having to swreepup after the ladies. Some deep feminine instinct within me is outraged when I see a woman burn the furniture or tile rugs, or flip her ashes on the clean floor. A throwback, perhaps, from the days when only men and children were disorderly in the house. DEMOCRATIC CLUB WILL HOLD PARTY The Young Women's Demi'cratic Club will sponsor a benefit card party at 8 Thursday night. Feb. 19, at the Antlers.

Taffeta Is Favorite in New Gowns By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. s.—While competition is a splendid incentive usually, there are women who find it is hardly worth while trying to compete with bright nights and bright lights nights that are brightened by tropical moons and less romantically by multiple watts. Appreciating this idea, designers advocate dark frocks for bright nights, contrast being smarter than competition. One of the newest of the dark tones is brown, a deep rich brown, a color usually considered in the realm of street clothes. Its tone intensified by the choice cf opaque fabrics. Taffeta is one of the silks selected, a taffeta that is soft rather than crisp, and yet possesses at the same time the delicious “swish” which has made it a rustling favorite in the past. Developed in the grand manner, these dresses favor trains, winding skirt movements, and ruches that add to the important effect. Satin is another favorite in the deep brown tones, crepe satin and slipper satin, with the satin depth of color advocated and sophisticated treatments, including trains, extreme decolletages and ruffled themes.

Indiana Boy is Strongest “A/fY son. lee Royce, suffered X* I. with his stomach and bow els until he was quite listless and weak.” says Mrs. Yirgle Miller. 31 North Addison St., Indianapolis. ‘’Now it’s a different story as you can see from his picture. He's strong and full of life. 1 gave him California Fig Syrup on the advice of my mother. It increased his appetite, helped him wonderfully. Since then I have used California Fig Syrup myself with benefit as a laxative.” To show’ how California Fig Syrup acts to build-up and strengthen nalisick, headachy, constipated children through giving tone and strength to weak stomach and bowels, nothing could be more convincing than praise iike this. Your doctor will approve the use of this pure vegetable product —as often as an impure breath, coated tongue, listlessness, feverishness or lack of appetite warn of constipation—or to keep bowels from clogging during colds or children's diseases. When buying, look for the word California on carton and bottle. That marks the genuine. LAXATIVE-TONIC for CHILDREN
