THE OBEGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, .SUNDAY MORNING,' SEPTEMBER 10, 1922. Married- By Virginia MOTHEE LAWRENCE had been at Charlotte's bom for , little orer a wect -And during- that time she bad de cided her son-in-law was not the Ideal husband she had Imagined . him kv va - ""u empBiuc uuu pods or ner , white bead she had given her pln- ion from time to time. Charlotte had been secretly amused, for Billy always wanted to be at his best when a stranger was about And because Mother Lawrence had come to visit them so infrequently Billy regarded her as a distant rel atlve. He had been on his good behavior for many days, solicitous of Charlotte's comfort," kind and at tentive to both women in his every move. Mother Lawrence regarded him over her glasses one evening as he sat back reading. Charlotte felt she could read Mother Lawrence's thoughts. An ' Itour later, when ,they were alone tn mother's, room, Charlotte ap proached the subject. "Isn't Billy a perfect dear, Mumsy?" she asked casually. "He Is so attentive to me always. And so many husbands lack that virtue to-day." Charlotte's mother considered a moment before replying. Then she looked up with a sharp little gleam ' in her eyes. - VI dislike to say what Tm think ing, Lottie," she announced, -"but It's a good plan to keep your ears cpen when a man begins to shower his wife with attention at home. Of course, far be It from me to put any suspicions In your childish lit tle head, but I wouldn't sit back and let. my dear husband think he was amusing himself outside while 1 sat home alone .every evening." "Mother." said Charlotte, ab ruptly, ."Billy doesn't do any such thing. He's been a perfect dear to me always." "Then why did you write to tell r me he'd been spending every eve ning at his club and leaving you alone?" f'Oh oh, that time," exclaimed Charlotte In surprise. "That was only once, Mumsy, dear. I fixed that, all right I simply trotted off to Sally's house and left him alone. jtie missea me, too. Ana wnen realized It I came back." . "I see," she said,, rising from, the ,'. rocker In which she had been sit-. ting 'and walking over toward the dressing table. "He is your hus New Work ARE you planning to system . atlze your mental house so 4 U. A. II SSI . iu it wui run more eni- clently during the new work year? Labor Day marks the beginning of the new work year and serves to remind us that we ought to get our equipment In order. So many women fall into the tahit of scattering their energies on fruitless tasks that it requires a thorough self-analysis at this time to discover the fault Every large business organisation takes stock f f its assets at intervals and plans accordingly. Is it not a wise plan. then, for tha housewife to do likewise? Study out your housekeeDins nrohlema anil see where some of the work may be lessened. The housewife who finds herself overburdened, with no time for recreation or culture when other women with similar responsibili ties are finding time for these things, can-usually find the cause of it in a poorly systematized plan of work. Have you tried writing out your weekly plan of work day by day. Just as the menus are planned? Tt is a splendid way to cultivate the habit of working regularly. A safe rule to follow is never to drop a task before finishing it. Work has a way of accumulating when each task remains unfinished.

The woman who gives all her time to her housework 1s cheating her children of thejr rights, and . incidentally allowing their: confidences do escape beyond her reach. Are you keeping up with the big ger questions of the day by sub scribing to a good publication or two and reading them regularly?

"Oh, mother, women don't at tempt to train their husbands any more. Thai's passe. You marry him for better or worse, and If ft tarns out worse, then it's up to a wlf to help mend matters. Dont yon see how much more sensible that is than all that old-fashioned worrying and fretting about a hus band when be wasn't in sight T The standards are so different to-day, Mumsy, dear, A woman belittles herself when she convinces herself " that marriage Is a case of owning each other. . We simply loan each other our personalities until deati do as part." ' Charlotte's mother stood regard ing her daughter as if she were some strange creature. She looked at her with horrified eyes, then turned toward the narrow bed Charlotte had been disrobing of Us lace coverlet for the night "Loaning each other," she re peated; "that's a disgraceful ide. ) should think women would be afraid to talk of marriage as loan ing personalities. Suppose one of you decided to pay up the loan an-1 close the debt. How terrible that would be." ".Not nearly so tragic as staying on when one. or the other wa ready to pay up, mumsy. dear. It's knowing you must that destroys the romance of marriage. Worn e a have learned that because they have been the victims. Now they are willing to accept the new idea of marrying and remaining married because there is love to weld the bond." Mother Lawrence sniffed with distress. "We'll never agree on that my dear daughter. So there's no use our arguing over it I shall always cling to the code I was raised vnder. The husband is the mas ter. But the wife must train him to do as she wishes without his knowing It." "Shocking laughed Charlotte, "absolutely shocking! I simply can't imagine my 'making Billy do anything he did not care to do. 1 -wouldn't care two pins for him if I could. So you see that theory w ould never work." Mother Lawrence turned low her night lamp and crept silently into bed. Charlotte kissed her affec tionately and tip-toed from the roam. As she n eared the turn, to the hall where a dark alcove swung outward she heard someone snick er. Without a moment's hesitation Year Is Here If . you do not make an, effort, to keep fip with things you are likely to find your husband growing rest less during those hours of home companionship after the day's work Is over. The modern woman must da more than be . an efficient house keeper if she would be a success at her job. Hers is an Intricate world. If you find the work to be done1 ig beyond you, why not look into the mechanical aids that have come to take the place of the inadequate hands? The washing machine, the electric iron, the electric sewing machine and the vacuum cleaners that are on the market to-day offer aid to the woman who finds her every moment taken up with work that should be considered merely incidental to comrort In ' till Shops pLAITED ruffling of sheet eor gett'e or organdie Is being offered to freshen the neckline of a dark frock.

Time was when a gown was not In vogue unless it was fairly crys tallized with colorful beads. Then came the age of leather, when every frock for street wear boasted its leather bandings and Its ap plique of the hide in all shades, enough to endear them to the hearts of those of as who have not entirely lost our primitive instincts. ' Metal took the place of the leather trimming. Until at last women wearied of the endless var nety in which this metal novelty" was offered and declared emanci- pation by wearing their frocks as clmple as a Pilgrim's gown. The one-piece, sHp-on model took the world of fashion by storm. It was the reversion to simplicity fefter the era ot lavish embroidery. Summer frocks especially boasted of their simplicity until they fairly resembled the housemaids apron frock with their scarcity of trim, rains. ; Now women are looking toward novelty In silhouette to help ease , away from the one-piece frock so practical. But women are not so ready , to give np the simple slip-on model, so designers have taken that popular model and transformed It into something unusual by chang ing its silhouette.
