IN OLD NEW ENGLAND "I was in one of them canoes oncet. Stepped in one side and, by gum, fell out t'other!" Caroline Chatfield Says Wife who broods over past ami whips husband over head with his repented misdemeanors should do some straight thinking about her own future. It will be blaek if she doesn't change her policy. DEAR MISS CHATFIELD: . It doe.i no good to brood over the past: I know that, but what can you do when you are a brooder? My husband did a few wild things some years ago which were no more than most men do but I just can't forget them. During our 12 years of married life he has been a fine husband as far as money goes: given me and the four children as much as he could afford and our wants being simple we have fared well. The trouble is that my faith in him is gone. We live 16 miles from town and every time he takes the car out I check the mileage and from the moment he drives off until the car is back in the garage I am in a torment for fear something will go wrong. When he gets back my frame of mind is not much better. Naturally this infuriates him and a row fol lows. If you could give me some comforting advice it will be greatly appreciate. B. H. ! ANSWER: My dear woman, it isn't comforting advice that you need but rather a stern lecture. You have let your imagination run riot and if you don't check it. you will go crazy, destroy your husband's affection for you and play havoc with the >homelife of your four children. I Now calm yourself and admit that you are throwing a monkey wrench into the home works: make your mind behave: stop try ing to police your husband. Give him credit for good intentions and he will live up to the faith you have in him. He hasn't run out on his family and left you with the bag to hold. He is sup porting you and doing what he can to make amends for the past. He would like to forget it but you won't let him and by constant reminders of it you are paving the way for further detours. As a general rule a married man doesn't go out looking for trouble if he is on good terms with his wife. It is when she begins to ques tion him. pummel and pound him that he turns sour and sullen, stays away from her to avoid being put on the witness stand. No self respecting man will permit his wife to treat him as a criminal on parole, regardless of what he may have done to destroy her faith in him. The wife who is brooding over the past, whipping her husband over the head with repented misdemeanors should do some straight thinking about her future. This will break her of the brooding habit and the policing habit and lead her to adopt a new policy toward her husband. CAROLINE CHATFIELD.

GOOD TASTE A TODAY % Iemily'postA World's Foremost Authority on Etiquette ? Emily Posv YOU NEEDN'T RETURN SOCIAL FAVORS IN KIND Dear Mrs. Post: Within the past few months I have been in vited by the same person to a tea, a bridge luncheon and to several big buffet parties. All these part ies have been very grand. I can not make a return that in any way is proportionate to my obligations. The only tiling I can do is ask several people at one time or ask this hostess to the theater per haps, although she is not an inti mate friend and these invitations of mine are necessarily so per sonal. What would you suggest? Answer: All hostesses who en tertain constantly invite those whom they like and who help to make their parties successful either by being very ornamental or amusing ,or in any case friend making. If you can find out the date of her birthday or their wed ing anniversary, or other special occasion to her, or if not. then merely any special day on the calendar ? for instance, Valen tine's day?send her a present of flowers or a plant.. * * * FLOWER FOR GROOM Dear Mrs. Post: I am giving a party for a young bride and groom, and am sending the girl a cor sage to wear at the party. Do men wear boutonnieres on such oc casions and do you think it would be nice for me to send the groom something too for his lapel? Answer: It would be very nice to send him a flower to match hers, or else a white or red carna tion. * * * WEARING DIAMONDS Dear Mrs. Post: My husband have given me a diamond brace let. which is simple in design but very beautiful. What I would like to know is on what occasions is it suitable for me to wear this brace let. My husband would like me to wear it even to church, while I feel that perhaps it is intended only to ornament evening clothes, which unfortunately I seldom wear. Answer: Again the vagaries of fashion! At the present moment those who have diamond brace lets wear them at practically all times, although the ones that are broad and composed of big stones are really only suitable on formal occasions, either in the afternoon or evening. WNU Service PARIS STYLES Bv MARY FENTRESS United Prfcss Start Correspondent Paris, (U.R)?Garden party frocks and costumes for the races have become very simplified this sea son. There are no ground floor dresses and no prints except for suits. The skirts are slim and cut on the bias without any pleats. Pastel colors predominate with soft blues, misty lavender, pale rose and light green standing out as the most popular colors. Straw hats with wide, floppy brims and shallow crowns are worn by most women, although small flower or plum turbans are seen occasionally. The new garden party or Ascot hats are made with stiffened or wide brims so that one side may flare up rakishly while the other ripples downward. * , Organdies and chiffons are less popular than in former years but are still worn in those bouffant girlish styles that were seen for so many years. jrsig, puny sieeves, ugni Doaice and high waist above an enor mously full skirt characterize this type frock. The waist is usually encircled by a wide sash with bow and streamers in the back and the big-brimmed hat of matching organdy or stiffened chiffon is banded by the same rib bon. This stereotyped garden party dress is often replaced by ? the neatly tailored suits in gaily printed floral crepes. These are made with bias-cut skirts, short, fitted jackets and frilly blouses of organdy ? sometimes white and sometimes in one of the out standing colors of the floral print. Dark blouses are used with the light suits and light blouses with the darker prints. TODAY S FASHION TIP Pastel crepes predominate for garden party gowns.
