Colorful Tweeds to Enrich Fall Scene

By BETTY LOCHER Times Fashion Editor

NDIANAPOLIS women will have an opportunity to see one of the most ex-

quisite collections of colormatched coats, sults and dresses of the season when fashions by Davidow are modeled in Ayres’ French Room Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Mel Davidow, president of the House of Davidow, will be here in person and there will be informal modeling all day. Special suits and coats are singled out by this house and made for women who are often considered hard to fit, There is the average 5'3" size. For the small woman of mature and “settled” figure, the 54” range allows more fulness in the jack-

A fine herringbone pattern will be used in a skirt; a companion coat will be of larger pattern, To go along with the completely assembled idea there are hand some crepe blouses, pretty and soft at the neckline, or strictly tailored.

The Mature Parent—

Real Love Gives Self-Respect

By MURIEL LAWRENCE PF MRS. CAREY'S oven, the meat loaf is overdone. As Mr. Carey is

hungry and out of sorts, his wife decides not to delay dinner any longer for her daughter. When her parents are finishi n g dessert, Ann breezes in the front door. Two dress hoxes swing on their loops

She looks very smart, very trim in her new navy sult and red lizard accessories. She smiles gally at her parents, says, “Hi, I'll be right down, I'm starving’-—and runs upstairs to her room. “More new clothes again?” asks Ann's father, “Now, Joe, she's only young once , .."” begins Mrs. Carey when her hushand throws down his table napkin. “‘Young once’ shouts Mr. Carey. earning $45 a week. der she can buy

SINCE MR. Carey does not want to kill Mrs. hushes. He goes out to the garage and starts unwinding hose to clean his car. If we could look into Mrs. Carey's mind, we'd see thoughts like this running through it: “What a pedcemaker I am . how superior is my love for my child than her father's . . .” It isn’t, of course. It's not love that motivates Mrs. Carey's indulgence of her daughter's arti-

ficial standards of living. It is |

selfishness. If we truly love our earning children who live at home with us, we require them to

For Accurate Heat Whether you have an old oven without automatic controls or a new unit with all the

latest thermostats, it's a good |

idea to keep an open thermometer around for check on temperatures. The kind which will hang or stand in the open is most practical, especially if it has a round, easy to read- dial face, encased in sparkling chrome and black enamel, can consult without the feeling of putting your head in the oven.

contribute just portions of their earnings to their food and shelter. 1f we can accept this, we will not, like Mr. Carey, feel belligerent toward the earning child whom we have misguided. Nor, like Mrs. Carey, will we fear to lose their good will by seeing that they are provided with better self-respect. With our motive of love clarified, we will be able to approach Ann reasonably and kindly. What Ann's mother has really been up to is providing Ann with a totally unrealistic in-

Why does she encourage indulgence of extravagance that her daughter can only afford because she lives in ner parents’ home? o - ~ DOESN'T Ann's mother want her to ever have a home of her own where she will have to pay for fundamentals? Does she want her to be a discontented wife in that home because she

can't afford red lizard shoes— and pay her bills? Is she using Ann to satisfy an old grudge that she could not have red lizard shoes when she was young? Or does she just eniBy her pose of being a specially ‘understanding” mother? Love for children is never interested in what they have but in what they are. We cannot touch love, smell it, weigh it, see it or pour it into a laboratory vial. It is an intangible, and produces intangibles like self-esteem and self-approval.

LOVE IS not concerned with red lizard shoes, convertibles or pretty clothes, When we love a child, we are supremely interested in what adorns his inside, not his outside, That is why we shouldn’t hesitate to ask earning children to pay their way. The dollars they give us are not just something to line pocketbook, but something to line

their own dignity and freedom.
