WOMAN’S PAGE. Boutonniere Becomes Important BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. . The man who habitually Wears a pardenia or carnation or rose in his buttonhole is usually regarded with a measure of more or less tolerant amusement in this land of the brave &nd the free. What would be the gen- eral attitude toward the man who simplified this trick by wearing an artificial flower in his buttonhole? It would really be quite as impossible as wearing a celluloid collar or a “made” tie, wouldn't {t? And yet women have worn, and do wear, and probably will continue to wear, artificla]l flowers without the slightest thought of criticism. And these artificlal flowers may be =0 nearly like real flowers as to defy de- tection, or they may be so frankly different as to delude no o The fashion for wearing white gar- denias originated—or rather was re- vived—in Paris in the autumn, and etraightway it was taken up in this country by womén of fashion. The | gardenia was somethin f the sort that one buys in the florist shop, but oftener bought from the milliner or epccialty shop. Now there are other flowers that share the faver of the gardenia. and there are gardenias of every color of the rainbow for the woman who has grown tired of pure white, Quite a new and clever trick is to select an jal flower t atch or go with hat.

A young man, on taking up ath- Tetles, & through w course of “training” for the purpose of adapt- ing the heart to sustain violent phy ical efforts. Under such cxercises| the heart secems to grow, strengthen | and enlarge. Such an enlarged heart is often spoken of as the “athletic | heart” This generally means that it is larger and stronger than the heart of the ordinary man, but not that it is abnormal or unhealthy. a rule the athlete’s heart is better heart than that of the non- athletic man, and extreme exerton in the case of the man who has not thus developed his heart may result 4n a strain of this crgan. Remember, that In Jong-distance running and other forms of athletics it is really the heart that bears the greater part of the strain, One should not at- tempt such efforts without preparing for them first, thus gradually accus toming the system, and the heart| especially, to the work. All this'applies particu over fifty, when for & co ble part of their livi they have neglected to take exercise. The heart never con pletely rests. It is at work minute of one's life, but an inactive life means comparative rest for the heart, as compared with the demands of vigorous muscular work or ath- letics. When a man has done noth- ing more strenuous than dress him- self, feed himself and walk about a little for u period of many years, his heart is on vacation, so far as any strenuous exertion is concerned. Vig- orous muscular work undertaken in such a case will have little injurious affect upon the muscles. It may make them stiff and sore, but this is ©of no consequence, It may affect the heart seriously. Any plan of physical tralning that one may adopt should be mapped out with a view to gradually increasing the amount of exercise taken. Don't “walk too far the first day Don’t re- peat your cxercises too many times. Start'in with easier movements and leave the more difficult ones for a ater perfod. Because of this ne ing any strain of the heart, exeroise taken In a reclining position often to be recommended. The mere act of lylng down has the immediate effcct of resting the heart. - Onions au Gratin Peel the thin outer skin from some emall regular size Spanish or Ber- apuda onions and boil them in clear water until tender.

Perhaps he could get a paw in and pull Danny out. So he tried it.

Danny Meadow Mouse had used his eharp teeth. He bitten that paw. You should have seen Gray Fox try to snatch his paw out of that can. Rut it didn’t come out. He simply pulled that old can toward him. Again he felt Danny's sharp teeth. Again he velped. And this time he jumped back. The can went with him. By this time Gray Fox was fright- ened as well as hurt.

My Neighbor Say: very often happens that kid gloves ure split the very first time thev are tried on. This can be prevented by placing them between the folds of a damp towel for an hour or 50 before they are worn. The dampness stretches the kid so that the glove will stretch to the required shape. Save tea leaves for washing varnished paint. When suffi- cient leaves have accumulated steep them for thirty minutes in a tin vessel and then strain through a sieve. A washing in this water will give varnished paint a newer and fresher ap- pearance than if soap and water were used.

RACIAL ORIGIN—English, SOURCE—PIlace of residence, The existence of the word “house” as & family name is paradoxical. It is one of the last words in the Eng- lish language which one would expect to develop Into a family name; for family names of this class, originally descriptive of their first bearers' place of residence, naturally were clected from some unusual char- teristic, Nothing, apparently, could be more usnal than residence in a louse. How then, did the word de- velop into a family name? The answer lios in this; the word “house” was not used in the speech val English to denote an rdinary dwelling place, but rather what we would call today a mansion, an unusually large building, an un- usually important one or one devoted to _some special purpose. The variations of this family name explain this further. The name Mal- thus, for instance, is simply a con- traction of “malt-house.”” Likewise Woodus is “wood-housa” and the name of Woods is sometimes, though not always, a further contraction of i\:}l;r.' ‘lflf(ulllls “l0ft-houst tis s merely a co A, ly rrupted spelling “The house,” malt-house,” etc, were just the sort of landmarks which local populations would use for tdentification of individuals living in nd near themw.

EAR MISS DIX: My family consists of my wife, a little daughter, nine years old, and myself. We have had a happy home all these years, until recently we made a visit to her mother. Contrary to facts and to my great surprise, I found that my wife had magnified every little unpleasant incident during our marrlage, and told each one to her mother in such a way that I am placed in a very embarrassing position, and am branded as the meanest man in the world. I cannot understand the reason for my wife's doing this, and the injustice of it all makes me feel like giving up everything “x.d slipping out into the world alone. What shall T do in this case? Z. Answer: Your wife's conduct is certainly most reprehensible. Tt shows both bad faith and bad taste, but many other women are gullty of doing the same thing. When they are angry with their husbands, or peeved about any little thing, or when they ure sore over some family #pat, they run to thelr mothers with {t because they know that thelr mothers will always side with them. Furthermore, the women who do this do not realize what a disloyal thing they are doing because they have only told mother. They forgct that mother is generally a broadcasting statlon that sends out lurid storics about what a brute of a husband her poor, darling daughter has got. and how badly he treats her. And mother exaggerates everything her daughter tells her. If daughter wails out that she doesn’t belleve that her husband loves her any more because he stayed out until 12 o'clock last night, mother leaps to the conclusion that he s loading the double life. If daughter weeps because her husband afd he couldnt afford xome extravagance she had set her heart on, mother puts husband down as a tightwad. If daughter tells that her husband criticized the cooking, mother says that she knew all along thut he was an unfeeling beast who cared for nothing but hisx own stomach. And long after daughter has forgotten what she was miffed with her husband, mother still remembers and holds it against him. Why does a woman do kuch a dishonorable thing? Recause women love 5 be comsidered martyrs, and to be went over and pitied and “poor- deared.” And mother ca:a always be counted on to turn.on the tear ducts whenever daughter makes & bid for her sympathy. It 18 no wonder that you feel hurt and outraged at your wife mis- representing you to her mother in order to indulge herself in an orgy of being cried over, and sympathized with. But her excuse is that she did not realize what she did. When she sees how she has wounded you and perceives how despicable her conduct has been, it will give her a lesson that she will never forget, and she will probably never offend that way again. Forglve her and set her fault down to one of the fnexplicable weaknesses of her sex which crave pity as a drug addict does dope. DOROTHY DIX. R EAR DOROTHY DIX: T thought T would write to you and ask you how I can get a good wife. Will you please tell me how to cho?aa one? . A. Answer: Well, D. A.. If T were going to choose a wife, T would pick out a girl who was nefther tno young nor too old, say hetween twenty-three and thirty—and who was good looking and neat and trig and trim in appearance, because I would want some one who would be easy on the eves if I was planning to sit across the table from her for the next thirty or forty years But T would pass up the beauties and the ‘hion plates, because they are nearly always selfish and spoiled and ext gant. T'd ba looking for a helpmate, and not a baby doll that | would have to spend my time playing with_and dressing up. T would pick out a healthy girl Becauss 1 wouldn't want a_wife who was nervous and neurotic and irritable and unreasonable as all invalids ar nor would I want to see all of my money go to hospitals and sanatoriums and doctors. 1 would plek out a cheerful, good-natured girl, a girl who always saw the funny side of things and who had a laugh hung on a hair trigger. 1 would want a girl who took life as it came, without worrying, and who was ready to make the best of every situation. T would plck out wn energetic girl. a girl with a lot of pep to her, a g1rl who was willing to do hcr part of the work in the world, and who would make a good helpmate. Proferably, she would know how to cook and sew, but that wouldn't matter, particularly, for any woman who isn't lazy can learn how to be a 80od cook und housekeeper. Above all, I would pick out for a wife a girl who was congental and companionable. I ‘or I would want a wife who thought as T did, who was Interested in the things that I was interested in, who liked to do the things that I {liked to do. and would trot along beside ma on the sama hobby horses. T would pick out a girl whom I could talk to or lsten to for hours at a streten without getting bored.

The sunny, cheerful breakfast nook opentng out of a certain dining room that I know of Is utilized as a epecial dining alcove for the children of the family. Originally intended as a sort of sunroom, conservatory or break- fast room, this alcove, which con- nects with the dining room by a large arch, makes an ideal place for sister and ‘the twins to have thelr meals. They are seated by themselves, away |from the large table of the grown- ups, yet they are near enough for mother to have an,eye upon them. "We haven't enough of an estab- lishment to have a nursery or up- stairs dining room for the children to eat in, and they have no nurse to give them their meals,” explained the mother. “My one maid must cook and serve, and unless the little folks had their breakfasts and dinners elther before or after we had ours, it was necessary to have them with us. Their father would sadly miss them if they had their meals separatel too. “Yet little children are so much more comfortable at a low table and in chalrs so small that their feet can reach the floor that we did not want to have them at our table. Besides, their chatter disturbs the grown-ups less if they are at their own table. So we turned our dining alcove into & special dining room for them, and there they sit at every meal. I can watch their manners and see that they eat just what they should, and we are near enough to correct them or_converse with them If we wish. “Often during the day they use their low table and little chairs for playing games, giving parties to neighboring chiidren, cutting out doll clothes, pasting piotures, and so on. Their play muss is kept In the alcove, and they clear everything away be- fore another meal. If they don't elther my maid or myself attends to, it. “This annex to the dining room seems to me a much better scheme for children than the use of high chairs, semi-high chairs and such un- comfortable seats, where their legs hang down unsupported In a w {that would make us older ones | wretchedly uncomfortabie.’ o Canned Crab Salad.
