WOMEN HOTEL-KEEPERS BETTER THAN MEN

TULSA, Okla, Dec. 9—-Women are better hotel keepers than men- and there are at least two reasons why—Miss Jennie Fishy told a hotel greeters’ convention.

1. Women can bounce rowdies when men can't.

2. women are better homemakers.

"No matter how drunk a man may get," said Miss Fisher, former president of the National Greeters’ Auxiliary, “he won't fight a. woman who is in charge.”

A DREAM COMES TRUE

MOUNTAINSHDE, N. J. Dec. 9— Unless new and unfotseen difficul- ties arise, Mrs. Mabel I. Watts and her thme sons will move soon into the “dream house" they've built with their own hands near the sum,- mlt of Pot Luck Hill.

The house needs a few flinishing touches, but Mrs. Watts formerly of Toronto, is happy the work is al- most done. It won't be long, she's sure, before she and he;- boyo will be able to sit in their cosy home and look out at Manhattan's pic- turesque sky-line.

It's been a long, hard task, filled with obstacles of various kinds. One obstacle took the determined middle-aged mother into Chancery Court and back there she is to go in another phase of the matter.

The court appearance resulted from the revocation of her building

by the Bctough Council October 2B. The council contended the building did not conform to the building code in regard to its set- back from the street.

Mrs. Watts, contending the offl- cials knew how the house was to be located months before they took ac- tion, appealed to the coucii but the revocation was upheld. She then went to Chancery Court ,Vice- chancellor Malcolm G. Buchannan issued an order directing the mayor, council, and building of- ficials today why they should not be restrained permanently from in- tcrferlng with the work.

ma. Watts has lived in this vicin-

ity about 15 years. she is a native of Toronto and her father, Harold A. Small, was fownerly chief ob- server for the Canadian Meteorolo- gical Bureau. She is divorced and, she told the court, has only a modest income. But for years she had dreamed of making a home for her sons, Leslie, 1'1. Bcnrce, 15, and Robert, 8.

She an acre of ground in the comparatively wild section of Pot Luck Hill, across from the Watchung reservation. when she consulted builders, she found their prlcw too high for her small bank account. So she and her buys de- cided to do the job themselves. They started to clear the ground early this past summer. This done they took plck and shovel and dug for the foundaton. An experienced builder was called in occasionally ifor advice as the structure grew. but Mrs. Watts and the boys did practi "y all the manual work.

They mode the ground floor into a ‘two-car garage-hoping to rent it and thus add to their income-and added living quarters on the second floor, with a spare room in the attic.

This home was almost complete. eiccept for doors and windows. when the building permit was revoked.

The task was Mrs. Watts‘ first in the building field. But now she talks like a veteran and knows the answers to questions about minute details. The bovatoc. are adept with tools, using the knowledge they gained in manual training courses in school.

HOW T0 D0 AFGHAN STITCH

It often happens that we think a stitch is more difficult than it actu- ally is, but if we are able to try it out with just a. little piece of either knitting or crochet, we are able to see that it is not nearly as difficult as it appeared to be at first sight. Afghan stitch in a gxochet stitch, and this is how it is

Itis an easy otich if worked loosely with not too many loops on the hook at once. It is frequently worked in nanow strips which are afterwards joined. and is a useful alternative to double crochet for antaller garments. Make the requir- ed leng-th of chain.

Second Row-The loop on the needle stands for the first stitch, so draw a loop through the next stitch (Ii.e., the perpendicular stitch over the ch stitches), draw a loop through each of the perpendicular stitches along the row, then work back as to the first row. Repeat this row for the length required. Finish mttléihono dc. into each upright

Which is very much what hap- pens to the woman who cannot make up her mind about her own personality. The chameleon turns brown when she sits on a. brown leaf, green when she sits on a-green one. This merging into her im- mediate surroundings is what hap- pens to innumerable women today.

They go to the cinema and are dazed by some ravishing heroine. Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Jean Crawford, ancLGinge; Rogers have done their worst by' us. All are themselves outtsanding successes, but the hundreds of young women who have endeavored to copy them, have come away wth the mere husk. They have been failures because they dared not be themselves. A very excellent self is too often a very shoddy imitation;

The person who dares to think 01181118115’. and to express ho;- own theories and opinions is interesting, very oficn charming. Today any- body can educate the‘: ideas with a library subscription. Knowledge is going cheaply. We have the mendous advantages oi’ widel- travel

am a broader outlook, but none of these lhFllgs is going to help if we draw down the blinds on ourselves and try to be somebody else.

There is only one you in the world. Deep down in your own heart there is a personaltiy which is olntirely copyright. Cultivate it. Tak up an angle on life. Be sincere in your opinions and think yourself.

A woman who is interested is as a nutter of course interesting. She does not pretend about matters. She has no cheap coating f veneer on her opinions and pre udiees. Her naturalness is her passport to any society. In an era of people who insist on veiling themselves in a cheap kind oi’ transparency. it is re-

s to meet the women who darm to be herself.

The secret of this intangible quality is. I am sure, lying in the heart of every one of us. There is no need to look farther afield for it. A little courtesy, a. great deal of sincerity an ability to form opinions and to express them with- out bias from outside conditions. All these form one great quality which makes the owner of it a real friend, an entertaining companion and altogether a. very charming per- son.

Mother Love is a Great Blessing, Yet it Can be a Curse Also to Growing Daughters

Dear Miss Dix-My trouble is l. too doting mother. I In 21 your! old, yet she holds me by the hand as if I were a child of 8. Never lets me out of her sight 1f she can help it. If I suggest going any place, lhe says: "Wait, I'll go, foo." If I have a date, which is seldom on account of bu, I either have to sit at homo, or tell her every word that is said. She lllions in on every telephone calLIfIgetallttei-shsreadsit. Myslrl friends have dro , me because mother has to go everywhere we I0. Older Parsons ca! how sweet we look foflther, but I'd feel sweeter if shrwasfft llwnys along. Can you think of any remedy for this possessive mother love? I can't Stand much more of

A WIFE.

Answer:

The real reme‘, for your situation 1s t0 leave home. That is the only way by which you can keep your mother from ruining, your ' life, because if you stay with her she will suck your very life blood from you. She will alienate you from your friends, drive all men away from you and you will and up by becoming one of those desicated, colorless old maids who have ‘no personality or existence of their own. They are Just mother's shadow-

Mother love can be the greatest blessing in the world, or it cm be the greatest curse. A mother can love her child unselflahly so that she puts the child's good always before her own. She can flt the child for life bl‘ strengthening it so that it can stand on its own 1691i 811d b? .1°5t"|!18 9 spirit of independence in it. She can love her child so much that she will sacrifice herself to its and send it away from her when it is for the child's good, even though it tears her heart out to Dirt with it. That in the kind of mother love that is the greatest good fortune that any child can have. . '

' Q

But there ls the possessive mother love that seeks only its own grati- fication at whatever coat to the child. Because it wants to be all in all to the child it babies it and makes it a weakling; it cuts the child oiI from all association with others; it deprives it of all freedom and makes it de- pendent, and ruthlessly stands between it and the natural desires of youth, for such mothers are never willing for their children to leave them, or to marry. No greater misfortune than to have a possessive mother can be- fall any child.

You can see these selfish mothers and the wrecks they have made of their children all about you. Stufly old women with middieaged sous whom mother has kept from marrying, and who dance attendance upon her and who get sissy looking themselv , ‘ mother has always kept them tied to her apron strings, and they have never had any of the liberty that real he-men have. Anemic old maids whom mother has doomed to a dull and lonely life because she shut the door in the face of every suitor, and who still have to obey mother as implicitly as they did when they were in the kindergarten, and who have’ to ask her pennission to even walk to the corner. Bitter, disappointed men and women who are fail- ures because their mothers would not let themfieave home when oppor- tunity knocked at their doors in their youth.

_ How any mother can be cruel enough to let her selfish love ruin her children's lives is almost beyond comprehension. It is quite beyond com- prehension that any mother can be stupid enough not to recognize that when she makes her love a burden to her children she is killing their af- fection for her. Yet that is what many mothers do, and 1t answers the question they are always asking: “Why are my children so anxious to leave name?" If they would be honest with themselves, they wolud know it is because the children recognize that they are being smothered to death by too much mother love and they are trying to get away from it, and save themselves. i

For the fact remains that while a. child may fill a mother's life and supply her whole interest in life, no mother can fill the child's life or sup- ply its interest. The child wants the companionship of those of its own age. It wants m go places and do things. It wants independence and freedom ...id privacy. And when a mother denies her child this she 1n- evitably allenates it fxomher.

And this is something that every mother should lay to heart. Too l

much ' .'e is like too much candy, it sickens, I O O U I U

Dear Dorothy Dix-My husband came home from a business meet- ing with a smudge of pink on his white shirt sleeve and collar which, of course, suggests rouge or lipstick to me. I pounced on him and asked him lf he had had his arm around a girl and he said "no" and was quirc angry with me for thinking such a. thing, and said he had no idea how it got there- But I cannot eat, or sleep, or work for thinking of it. I do not know what to do. I am not broadminded enough to puss it oi! with the thought that he loves me more than any one else. or that we hive been ideally happy and that I love him madly. I see no way of proving whe- ther my thoughts are true or false. more is also the question of the children. I have to be all, or nothing. But how can I throw our lives away on the chance that he might hBVQ dons wrong, and how 0m I eat my heart out and say nothinB? (A SUEPIOIOUS WIFE.)

I

Answer: . I'll say you Ire a suspicious wife, and how. And you will be a fool one if you let a smudge of lipstick wreck a happy marriage, break up a homo

_ and half orphan helpless little children.

For Heaven's sake, have a heart and use a little common sense, and try to look at what has happened from a practical standpoint Suppose the pink on your husband's shirt ls lip stick. Are you enough to imagine that a married man never kisses any other woman save his wife? And are you unsophisticated enough to think that in flies: days when kissing is so common that it has no more significance than hand-choking that because your husband kissed a woman, if he did, that it ix" that he is in love with her and is being unfaithful to you?

If you will just calm down enough to think coherently, you will realize that there is nothing in kissing any more. Everybody docs it, Just as they call casual strangers "darling" or "sweetheart" and * ‘ takes it seriously except a Jealous littlegoose of a wife like you. And, believe me, you are making the mistake of your life in doing so because, in the first place, you make your husband lie to you because he is afraid to tell you the truth and. in the second place. you make a kiss seem so devilish that hguisbbntauntd) ti? try it over again to see if it has the wicked kick that you a u e .

She had been clever, but not clev enough. She sat down stiffly on her bed, trying to collect her thoughts. She was up against a stone wail. There was no use trying to fight back.
