"You have not converted a man
because you have silenced him,"
'.'.rote a great English statesman. I
vish more of us realized this. I wish
,articular!y that the younger and
'he tlder generation could remem
ber H in their dealings with each
ther.
So many folks feel that they've
'.corcplished. something ' magnifi
:?n' memorable and well worth
'oas:"ng about if they have man
aged to bring someone around to
t.eir way ot thinking. There's a
ne of power of triumph, even
:'i wielding influence over another
STson; but the joy this brings has
:!ways seemed to me to be the de
:siit of a basically weak soul.
I don't believe that anyone is
. rang in the true and usual sense
inleis he is prepared to permit
-ithers to match their power against
Vs. T can't admire a man's charac-
r wf.en he wants to monopolize all
: he "character" in his vicinity.
Forcing your viewpoint on anyone
s taking advantage of some fortui
tous circumstance which permits
you o tyrannize over him. Iakmg
,le floor or the center of the stage
fn't "roving your right to them.
When there s a chance to impose
vour will on some one don't take
t. When there's a chance to per
suade some one to see things your
way grab at it.
There's a wonderful joy in seeing
the right or the truth of a question
and then in following up your own
clear vision by showing the truth
n you see it to someone else. But
".hen I hear a conversation like this,
I want to start a Boston tea party
of my own:
Mother Yes, you may go for a
walk but I want you to be home in
n hour.
Daughter (aged 16) Why must I
be back in an hour, It's only 3, and
the girls are sure to want to walk
across the park and stop for a soda,
t Can't be back before 5 unless I
leave them and come alone. It
won't be dark until after 5. Mayn't
I stay two hours,
Mother I said an hour, didn't I?
Daughter Yes, but didn't I show
ou why it would spoil my whole
'fternoon?
Mother You will be back in an
hour because I told you to. Now
'et's have no more arguing or whim
pering. I told you what to do. 1
There is no more arguing. The
irl is silenced. She had a real
argument on her side. The mother
had nothing but authority and the
will to enforce it tyrannically.
I've seen this happen over and
over and later I've had the older
woman tell me that , she had no
ttreater ambition than, to be a good
mother and that she did't see why
he should be afflicted with such a
stubborn daughter, or one so hard
to bring up successfully.
On the other hand. I've seen youth
.s arrogant (and with less excuse!)
Now why, I ask, should anyone
And ! too much trouble to make ft

becoming more 'and more neces
sary for the man higher up to tur
nish some clear plan to those who
are helping" him. To work intelli
gently,, a vision of the goal is need
ed. In bringing up children . it
would be far easier for parents if
they would attempt to secure co
operation.. But no one can co-oper-te
unless he has some idea of whit
he's working for and why.
I wish all my grown-up readers
snd my bovs, and, girls as well,
would ask "themselves this question:
"Do I play fair with the other fel
low and try to let him "e what I'm
working toward, or do I ask him to
go ft blind just on my bare and
haughty say so?" - -

Miss Mabel Hall, president of the
Omaha Business Woman's club and
vice president for Nebraska in the
National Federation of Business and
Professional Women's clubs, will
speak on "Our National Federation,
History and Plans," at the second
annual convention of Nebraska Fed
eration of Business and Professional
If you have little children there is
always a strong temptation to spend
relatively more time in attending to
their clothes than in preparing their
meals. Likewise, it is a natural
thing to spend more time poring
over the pattern books looking for
'attractive ways to make their little
suits and dresses than in poring over
books on children's diet, trying to
perfect yourself in this particular.
Yet did you ever know any adult
who might look back with regret on
the days of his early childhood be
cause he did not have the kind of
clothes he longed to possess, or
whose health in later life was im
paired because his mother neglected
his wardrobe before he was 5?
Yet many, many persons might
quite honestly ascribe bodily infirmi
ties that lasted through life to im
proper diet before the age of 5.
So, if it is a 'question of embroid
ering a chevron on the arm of a
new sailor suit or taking time to
make custard or apple sauco'for the
children's dinner, forget the chevron.
You may feel that a little cake left
from your dinner may do them no
harm "or that some raspberry jam
will satisfy them as well, forgetting
4bat these things are not suitable for
mtle children.

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Weary of Marriag.
Dear Miss Fatrtax: . Before I
married four months ago 1 was very
popular an had a number of young
friends. On? of these- asked me to
no out with him. but my huscband
object, stating that it is not only un
conventional, but absolutely unjust
of ma to aak permlaslon of nlm to
so out with any man ha scarcely
Icnows. ' "
,T. I..ra that ftVltf ' YYlftn WHO
would as me to go out without first
consulting his wishes 1 an unfit com
panlon for ma, ana war n "op
tion la not nased on petty Jealousy,
but hla interest to protect me. My
parents agree with my husband, but
they are very old-fashioned. I know
the yountf man Is all right.
Will you Dlease let me have your
opinion about this matter? F. D.
Why. if you are truly in love with
vftur husband, should you have the
slightest desire to accept this invita
tions? It certainly la in very bad
tste to aay the least If the man
wishes to chow you any attention of
UA..iiM..tiMf mm Yt im frsfl to
invite you and your husband to din
ner or theater. t$ur wni no m
dona is to suggest that you are al-
. v Kami) hv th SOCiStT Of
'vau; u. b j
th man ou married only four
months ago. There's no rhyme or
reason for the whole proceeding. You
should have refused at once, telling
him in all dignity that your husband
a your escort. To invite your friends
to your home and hava them meet
vour husband and accept hla hospi-
aiity is permissiDie. esucn a course
s this la not.
Acaln the Kissing Question.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Do you think
t la proper for a. young lady to al
low a young man to kiss hed when
ha has known her only a short time,
especially when ha leavee her at
night? PEGGY.
In spite of the cdamorous protests
which coma to ma whenever I ex
press my conservative and "old-fashioned"
views. I atill think kisses
should ba tokena of love between
two who cara deeply for each other.
The young people of today are living
life to a "Jaia" measure and they
insist on following the Impulse of the
moment They hava their brief
kisses their hysterical love-mo-menu
and so they sell, their birth
rights for a mesa of pottage and no
longer have the power to feel deeply
when the big feelings of Ufa might
be theirs for the taking if they hadn't
dissipated their powers of caring.
Folly; The best thing for you to
do ia to get a little older. Your im
petuousneec, Jealousy, and superla
tive state is, to some extent, due to
your age. Cultivate a little more
rUnee and common sense. You will
e happier and will give mora hap

Backs Still Bare
Feathers play a most important
part in the newIXaris hats. Ostrich
plumes in particular are being usrd
on large hats. - Hats for the most
part are small And are worn crushed
down on the head in many shapes.
One of the most noticeable in
novations is the leRthening of skirts
at least one inch. French dressmak
ers admit that this is a recognition of
American taste, which has resented
the extremely short skirt tinea it
was introduced. '
Backs are still bare. This the dress
makers have refused to alter. Ameri
can buyers are purchasing these
"bareback" models with a view to
modifying them rigidly in America.
Madame Devaurge, in charge ol

OMAHA MAY
BE IIATLESS
FOR A TIME
Sudden Burst of Hot Weather
Would Create a Rush for
Strttar Headgear.
What would YOU do one fine
morning if you were to awake and
find the snn so hot that a stiff or
felt hat wonld be an instrument of
torture?
Why, you would look about for a
straw hat in a hurry, of course.
But the chances are that the only
straw hat you would have about the
house - wonld be a last season's
straw, all out of shape, all soiled,
with trimmings hopeless.
Therefore, for a time at least,
thousands of Omahans would be
hatless were a torrid day to show
itself all of a sudden.
Best way is to be prepared get
together all of your last year's not
weather straw hats, Panamas, etc.,
and send them to Dresher Brothers'
immense Dry Cleaning and Dyeing
Plant at 2211-2217 Farnam St.,
Omaha.
Dresher Brothers operate a large
and complete hat factory and
within it the Dresher Expert Hat
Artists will work wonders with
your old hats. Your Panamas, for
instance, will be reblocked, cleaned
and retrimmed so prettily that all
the world will, take it for a brand
new hat
Bnt what will Dreshers do if
thousands of such hats are brought
here at practically one timet Why,
the Hat Shop would be swamped
and crushed with work and, of
eourse, many would be apt to be
disappointed.
So get your straw hats together
NOW, particularly . the Panamas.
Save money and smile when you
see your OLD hat in its renovated
new shape.
Leave your hats at the Dresher
plant, 2211-2217 Farnam St.,; at
Dresher the Tailor, 1515 Farnam
St; at the Dresher branch-at 24th
and L Sts., South Side, or at one of
the Dresher branches in the Bur-gess-Nash
or Brandeis Stores.
Dreshers' phone number is Tyler
0345. The . South Side branch,
hewever, is reached by . Phone
"South 0050."
Dreshers will pay parcel post or
express charges one way on all hat
shipments sent out of town.
Hurry up with the hatsthe
straws send them to DRESHERS
AT ONCE. f
