Buttons Galore on New Frocks
BY MARY MARSHALL.
Within a lew years button boxes
Mill again become interesting. There
Mill be miniature strawberries, rose
bods and Harlequin heads in an in
teresting melee with porcelain but
tons ornamented with painted land
scapes and shepherdesses. Glass but
tons will be there, loo —cubes and
spheres of imitation amber, aqua
marine and jade— and wooden but
tons showing the natural grain of
the wood or painted in checkerboard
effect. What a holiday treat for the
little girls who are permitted to
delve in these button boxes of a few
years hence!
Just at present these gala buttons
are on our frocks or in tho shops
waiting for the dressmakers to make
nse of them, and our button boxes
are somber affairs and nearly empty.
Dor wo have just gone through a
buttonless era Our underclothes
have been simplified to tho point of
buttonlessness. and frocks slip on
over our heads or tie about our
bodies Quito unusual has been re
cently the frock that showed any
button trimming- Rows of buttons
may be suggestive of the uniforms
..f soldiery, but. oddly enough, it was
during the war period that buttons
went quite out of fasiiion us far as
women's clothes were concerned. i
Now buttons are back in fashion i
for trimming.
Sport frocks of the boyish sort
show rows of buttons right down th<
front. The brightly colored porcelain .
buttons are chosen for this. Wooden
buttons are used very often on dark
tailored street frocks. Two rov-k of ,
thirty buttons down the front or at j
the sides gives a smart trimming to j
a frock of this soft. Some of the
-mallest buttons are used in connec
tion with embroidery, making an in
teresting departure from the usual
beaded effect, and even milliners are
earning buttons to account in do
using new modes of trimming tho
e»o-caJled sport hat.
And when all these hats and frocks
jvr.d wraps are worn or out of fash
ion the buttons will remain. Some
one will snip them off with scissors
and store them away in the button
box with the thrifty expectation Uiat
they may be made use of later on.

How to Care for Linoleum.
lysngcr- lived linoleum, like your sil

Phonograph, is dependent on the care
it gets.
It is true that linoleum naturally
resists hard knocks and is able to re
tain a new, attractive appearance for
e lons time. It has a smooth, un
broken surface, with no cracks or
crevices in which dirt and germs may
lodge. Nevertheless, to set the ut
most in satisfaction from your lino
leum you must observe a few simple
rules.
As soon as you install anew linoleum
Poor wash it carefully with luke
warm water and phire soap—harsh
soaps tend to wear away the surface
of the linoleum. It is a good plan to
wash and dry about a square yard at
a, time. Next, wax the linoleum, be
fore it is tracked up. with a liquid

fully. Most people prefer a liquid
wax, because it car. be applied
more easily and evenly than paste
wax. But whichever you use, apply it
sparingly, for if you put on a wax

Peter Rabbit was beginning to won
der. Ves, sir, he was beginning to
wonder. Mr. and Mrs. Quack, the ■
Mallard Ducks, had regained their
full strength. Peter knew that now
they were strong enough to continue
on their way to their home in the
far north. Each day he expected to
hear them say good-bye. Rut each
day be was happily disappointed.
Honker the Goose had spent a night

tr> the pond of Paddy the Reaver in
the Green Forest, and early the next
morning had started on for t,he far I
north. Other ducks had remained a j
day or two on the Big River, and then I
gone on. But Mr. and Mrs. Quack j
still lingered. And still Farmer
Brown’s Boy brought corn and fed
them every day. They had become
fast friends, had Farmer Brown's
Boy and Mr. and Mrs. Quack.
The days grew longer and the
weather grew warmer. Each day
brought new arrivals from the Sunny
South, and always the new arrivals
seemed surprised to tind Mr. and Mrs.
Quack there. Some of these new ar
rivals remained to make their homes
on the Green Meadows and in the Old
Orchard and in the Green Forest.
Others stayed only a few days, and
then hurried on tarther north. Mr.
and Mrs. Quack talked a great deal
about starting, hut they didn’t start. |
Two t»r three times Peter saw them
take to their stout wings and disap
pear. And each time he had a feeling
of disappointment, for they hadn’t
said good-bye. But each time on his !
next visit to the, mouth of the Baugh- !
ing Brook where it enters the Big !
River he found Mr. and Mrs. Quack
back there. Peter wasn’t the only one
who was doing a little wondering.
Farmer Brown’s Boy was wondering
also. He, too, knew that it was high
time for Mr. and Mrs. Quack to be on
their way north. He had had so much
pleasure in watching them and get
ting acquainted with them that he
had dreaded the coming of the day
when they should leave. But as they
lingered and lingered he began to
wonder and he began to hope. Could
it be that they had given up all
thought of going to the Far North,
and that they would make their
home here? Could it be?
But Mr. aijfl Mrs. Quack said noth
ing about their plans to any one.
They simply continued to linger and
seemed very well satisfied. No longer
did flocks of ducks pass over on their
way to the Far North. The last of
them had hurried on. Peter Rabbit
had fully expected to see Mr. and
Mr*. Quack join them, but Mr. and

harden as it should, and the excess
wax will absorb and hold dirt, and
make the floor slippery, greasy and
unsightly.
Care for your floor as you would a
waxed floor. Here is the recipe for
the daily caretaking: Go over the
floor with a dry mop and, if you care
to, polish it with a weighted brush or
with a heavy brick wrapped in soft
cloth; that is all. Only at rare inter
vals wiil you have.to scrup or wash
it; but you may, when necessary, wipe
up any muddy footprints with a damp
cloth. You may also want to renew
the wax coating at doorways and
other peaces about tho room where
wear is greatest. If your linoleum is
printed, you may like to use an oc
i casional coating of a good, clear var
nish or shellac to preserve its pat- J
i tern: but be sure that, it is thoroughly 1
cleaned and dried first,
p If your linoleum is merely tacked j
to the floor, always avoid getting I
water under its edges, as moisture !
1 underneath the linoleum will harm j
both it and the floor. You will elim- !
[ inate this possibility and will not re
gret tho extra cost, if you have your
floor cemented down over a lining of
builders’ deadejjing felt, for then you
indeed have a permanent, waterproof
, floor.

COSTER.
VARIATION—Costar.
RACIAL ORIGIN—Dutch.
SOURCE—An occupation.
This is one of those family names
on which you might do a great deal
of thinking, and then go wrong.
It’s deceptive- because the spelling
today does not indicate the language
in which it was developed, which is
Dutch. But substitute an initial “K"
for the “O,” and it does not look
quite so English.
Bike such a very heavy proportion
of Dutch family names, it was
originally descriptive of the bearer’s
occupation, and in this case it was
one of those occupations which
j might readily be passed down front
| father to son in some quiet and tra-'
; dition-bound little village, and so by
i imperceptible stages change from
I mere description to a real, hereditary
j family name.
■Tvoster," in Dutch, signified a “sex
j ton." It also had at one period the
j meaning of “a shrewd fellow,’’ but
! this was, of course, a secondary
meaning, and the evidence is that the
family name was derived from the
actual occupation rather than from
this secondary meaning.

AND THEIR CHILDREN
Educating Through Play,
One Mother Says:
My two boys played Indian from
morning until night- Since they en
joyed it so thoroughly, I interested
them in history through their play.
I told them snatches of history stories
about Indians, telling them where
they could find the" whole story. We
found pictures of Indians. They even
made some corn-meal must without
■salt. By the time their craze for
playing Indian was over they had
gained some real knowledge of Indian
history.
Dorothy Dix’s Letter Box
How Can He Curb His Extravagant Wife?
Should Wife Expect Husband to Help
With Housework If Both Work
Outside the Home?
rjEAR MISS DIX; I have tried for a number of years to solve a problem
and have failed. My wife is a woman who desires fine clothes, a new
pair of shoes every week, an automobile, plenty of money, and to be on the
go all the time. She does not cure about making a home or for children.
I have tried every method I know to curb her extravagance; have even
gone so far as to refuse to give her any money at all and to do all the
buying myself. As a consequence she accepted money, clotlj#s and jewelry
from other men. What can I do to change her, and to have a home, not
just a house to live in? C. IS.
Answer: I am afraid your case is hopeless, C. B. If a woman does
not love her husband enough to desire to be a good wife to him and to
make him happy there is no way to change her. There is nothing in her
to which you can appeal.
Being a good wife or a good husband is a matter of grace, not of |
compulsion. It Is a voluntary offering up of one's self upon the altar of
conjugal duty. It Is the unselfish putting of another’s pleasure before one's
own, and if this isn't done voluntarily, there is no way to force its
being done.
The mistreated wife or husband is simply out of lqck. Their only
recourse is to endure the situation with what fortitude they can command
or else seelk relief from their bad bargains in the divorce court.
Certainly an extravagant wife is as great a curse as malignant fate
ever wished a man. Nothing can be more aggravating or disheartening to a
man than to spend his life working for milliners and dressmakers and
shoemakers; to see all of his ambitions thwarted by his wife’s wastefulness,
and to have his footsteps continually dogged by bill collectors.
Such a man soon becomes broken in health and spirits. The impos
sibility of ever getting ahead saps his courage and kills his initiative, and
before lie realizes it he gives up the struggle and drifts into the down-and
out class. He drops out of the race because he is handicapped too heavily
to win.
I think a man is very weak and foolish who lets his wife ruin his life, i
If she will not listen to reason; if she is not willing to do a wife’s part and I
be a real helpmate to him; if she is so selfish she is willing to sacrifice him |
to gratify her own desires, then he should free himself from her.
Believe me. a wife who regards her husband as nothing but a shopping j
ticket and a cash register is small loss. DOROTHY DIX.
• • • *
DEAR MISS DIX; I am a young married girl, and am much interested in
what you say about married life. What dc you think about modern
marriages, in which the wife works away from home, as does the husband?
When the couple board, there Is no controversy, but when they have a
home of their own, do you consider that it is the husband's duty to help with
tho housework? MRS. S.
Answer; Certainly, under such conditions. I think that the husband
should do his share of the housework because the marriage Is based on the
fifty-fifty proposition, and the wife Is bringing in money as well as the
husband. Also the wife Is physically more weary, and less able to do the
work of homemaklng after a hard day’s work outside of the home than
the man is.
In cases where the wife does not work outside of the home I think it is
an imposition for her t*» ask her husband to do any chores about the house,
except when she is sick. A man who has worked all day to make the
money to support his family is entitled to peace and rest at home. He has
done his part, and the wife should do her part by running the house without
any help. As the husband has not thrown any of his job on her, she should
not dump any of her burdens on him.
But when both husband and wife work ontside of the home, then it is
up to the husband to lend a hand with the housework.
Personally, X think that in all cases where the womaf? continues to
follow a gainful occupation after marriage, the couple should board. They
should not try to keep house. It takes more strength than any woman
possesses to hold down two jobs at the same time. Shi- does neither well,
and when she has to rush home from the office to get dinner and clean up
•her house she very soon breaks down with nervous prostration.
She is tired and worn, and she naturally stops by the delicatessen and
buys some goods. She opens a can of something that can be heated up
quickly and calls it a meaL But it isn't. There is nothing savory and
tempting about it, nothing to sustain a man and woman who have worked
hard and who need to be built up by good food. So it is no wonder that
they both get nerve wracked and quarrel over who shall wash the dishes.
My advice to yon. Mrs. S„ is to give up housekeeping until vou arc
able to devote your whole time to it. Go and board in some comfortable
place, where somebody else will cook the food and do the cleaning up. and
where you can take care of your looks and preserve your husband's
affections. DOROTHY DIX.
• • • *
DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am very much in love, but 1 do not know how
to go about asking the girl to marry rue. I am strictly a business
man. and I do not know how to pop, the question. If .vou will kindlv help
me I will thank you very much. ANXIOUS LOVER.
Answer; Easiest thing in tho world. Just tell the girl you love
her, and ask her if she will marry you. It isn’t necessary to quote poetry
and use high-saluting phrases. All the woman wants is the genuine bona
tide proposition to enter into a life partnership with you.
If you can’t say it, write it, but a proposal by letter is a cold and
clammy affair. No girl wants a man to pop the ciuest-ion with his mouth
ten miles away! DOROTHY DIX.

A child born today will lead a pro

Ts today is your birthday, you are

of life. You are not born to be a
leader: you swim witli the crowd. This
apparent mediocrity has, however, its
just compensations: you are thor
oughly happy and contented and are
not subject to the same worries and
misgivings as one fired with ambi
tion. You easily fall into a groove;
you sometimes get into a rut- Y'ou
face all the issues of life with equa
nimity and a calm that is the envy
of all your friends. Tou never worry,
but are content to plod along given
line.s, and never covet riches or posi
tion.
Y’ou love good reading and are very
fond of music. Tou. however, have
no desire to become a, writer, or any
, wish to give expression to the har
mony within your sdul.
Tour love is not marred with jeal
ousy, or torn with doubts and fears.
It is none the less deep and abiding,
because it is constant and founded on
faith.
In your business you are moderate
ly successful, rather more contented
with being a spoke in the wheal than
the hub. Tou, however, work con
scientiously and earn the encomiums
of others, but you are at no time anx
ious to assume undefined responsi
bilities.
Tour home life is very serene and
happy; you are perfectly .willing to
allow others to do the navigating, and

“If you will come to my father's

Freda. "Maybe our teacher will let
