Just Every Day Sense

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is one in which no truce ever is signed. The conflict rages perennially, with the older woman coming off in somewhat battered condition. Psychologists have made maternity a bitter thing by their insistence that most marital disasters may be traced to inefficient or meddling mothers. Never before, therefore, has mamma come in for so much hissing from the grandstand and never has daugh-ter-in-law been quite so highhanded and arrogant and sure of herself. In most of these bouts she wins all the rounds, because practically all the advantages lie with the younger person. Yet she seldom is ready to give quarter and is not satisfied unless she can knock her opponent out completely. Now I can’t see why a man’s wife and a man’s mother may not sign a peace pact. And to do so, it’s up to the former to make the overtures. nun IN the first place, the wife has youth and happiness on her side. Life still is before her, stretching out alluringly, while the older woman is stepping swiftly toward the sunset. There may be, it is true, no good reason why a wife should be subservient to her husband’s relatives, but there also is no sense in assuming that her attitude toward them should be a belligerent one. Mothers should not be permitted to ruin the homes of children by interference, but neither should a mean-minded daughter-in-law be allowed to make the life of an aging woman miserable with malice and cunning. And, believe me, plenty of them do so. Two women do find it hard to dwell amicably together in the same house, but they certainly should be able to abide in the same world without making miserable the man whom both love. And every daughter-in-law owes at least the same consideration to her husband's mother that every young woman owes to every old one.

—WHAT’S IN FASHION?—

Piquant Pique a Summer Winner Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, July 7.—When you see an eager young person dash onto the tennis courts dressed in pique, you can lay your money on her to win. She wins, even if she loses the match. Because pique is a summer fashion winner. Why is it? Certainly not because it’s new. You’ve seen pique ever since you wore it in the grade schools, though of course it’s being used today in ways you’d never have

Sait of Piqae thought of them. (Pique gloves, for instance). It’s more because of the air it has. Fresh as a daisy, always. Spick—-and—span-ish (and we don’t mean Spanish, because there’s nothing less Spanish than crisp pique). All you need do is to put a collar and cuff set of pique on your street dress or suit to get the idea. It has a piquancy that transforms the simplest outfit into an exciting costume. To put on a complete tailored suit of pique—and it’s fashionable to do so—is as good for the summer morale as a gift of a million . . . nearly. It sets you up—makes you feel ready to go places and do things. Suit piques are usually the fine wale French type. But wide wales are smart, too, and you’ll find lots of them in separate skirts and jackets that can be combined into a suit. They’re fashionable in white . . . fashionable in pastels ... and fashionable in a combination of white skirt and dark jacket. Just a touch of pique is all some costumes need to make them look new and different. A pique scarf to wear with your light wool suit. Or a blouse or vest of pique, very trim and tailored. Maybe a wide pique belt to match

Waffle pique is anew idea for hats . . . pique ribbed in spare, small, waffle-like depressions. It’s used for other accessories, too—collars and cuffs, boutonnieres and scarfs. Another new kind of pique, used in some smart sports dresses, is embroidered in dots in a contrasting color. The handbag to carry with your pique suit or dress is, of course, of pique.

ries it is covered with a flared top, slip-on giove of narrow wale pique, hand-stitched for decoration, so much smarter is the costume. Yes—if it weren’t for the fact that variety is the spice of life, you could Just about make up a complete summer sports wardrobe from pique and be as fashionable as anybody. But as least have a touch of it somewhere . . . one custome that makes you as piquant as the pique itself. (Bv Thomson & McKinnon) Neat: Fashionable dark sheer dresses are described by Amos Parrish.

Your Eyes Also Need Good Wash BY ALICIA HART Eyes, just like handkerchiefs or lingerie, need washing. Lots of people never wash their eyes. They often fish particles of dirt out of the corners, particularly mornings. But there is no reason on earth why you should neglect your eyes, when you are making the day’s ablutions. You need only two things to do the fundamental cleaning. An eyeglass and some mild boric acid solution. If you want to be thorough, fill your eyeglass with hot

boric acid solution, but not hot enough to burn.. Blink your right eye up and down in the eye cup, with your head thrown back. Rinse out the cup, wash the other eye in hot solution. Then rinse the cup again and wash first one, then li other, with cold boric acid solution. Between each eye washing, rinse out the eye cup. It is so easy to spread any kind of infection from one to the other, if you don’t. Careful folks wash their eyes morning and nights. There are all kinds of soothing eye lotions you can keep in your desk or bathroom cabinet. If you find your eyes strained or tired in mid-morning or mid-after-noon, just rinsing them out, holding the little eye cup full of lotion against the hot,tired eyeball, rests them and relaxes you. If you swim much in artificial pools, it is a good, thing to rinse your eyes upon coming out. Use a

boric acid solution. This is mildly disinfectant. Some pools have rather strong disinfectants put in them to keep them clear and fresh. The use of a good eyewash Is just a precaution that it is worth while taking. When traveling, washing out your eyes is an excellent practice. Especially if you are taking a transcontinental trip, your eyes will get sore-tired crossing the desert, whether by train or auto. Also wearing a visor is a help. Exposure to glares to which you are not accustomed is a great strain. Watch out for those eyes of yours!
