Saving Furniture. One mother says I immediately get a little ofl —sew- ing machine, olive or even salad oil will do—and rub it into each new tch in the furniture as soon as I discover it. Nothing but refinishing will take the scratch away, but it will no longer be white and con- spicuous, and the oil will harm mahogany. Children take bet- ter care of furniture that looks well to them than they do of “that old thing” which already shows scratches. (Copyright, 1925.) What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Pisces. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are, on the whole, benign, but are not of a sufficiently favorable nature to warrant any roaming in “fresh fields or pastures new.” They favor a ses- sion of review and dellberation; a “taking stock” of plans and ideas. It an excellent opportunity for carefully revising agreements or contraets, and the chances are that, if this be done consclentiously, some errors will be discovered that have hitherto escaped your attention. The vibrations denote encouragement, and such conditions warrant mar- riage. Those who wed today will, in all probabllity, never regret the step, and will always find its bless- ings great, and its responsibilities light A child born tomorrow will suffer more than the ordinary child from nts. It will, however, its quick recuperative powers, sfully emerge from its troubles attain normal health and Its disposition will, at the commencement and as a result of its early weakifss, be peevish and moodish. fts health assumes normaley, it will change, and its out- look on life will become bright and It will not be disposed toward outdoor sports, but at all times greater pleasure and consolation in a good book. It will be more studious than materially ambitious, and find its greatest soluce, not in the building up of riches, but in the acquisition of learning. If tomorrow is your birthday, vou are swayed -entirely by your heart and by your affections, regardless of the indications of vour head. It is a wonderful thing to have a big heart and a nature overflowing with kindly feeling to others. Such a disposition, however, if left uncon- trolled, is liable to cause unhappi- ness, and should be steered by prop- erly regulated mental processes. As much harm is caused by indiscrimi- nate kindness as by selfishness. You will never attain any marked degree of material success until such time as you learn to reject impulses or intuition. You, of course, have a host of friends, and are popular wherever you go. Your worst enemy Is your- self, and your unbridled ideas of kindness to every one—no matter whether they be worthy or other- wise of your trust and charitableness —only cause dissatisfaction and un- happiness. Well known persons horn on that dato are: Parke Goodwin, journalist and author: Jane Goodwin Austin, author; Charlton T. Lewis, lawyer and author; Ida Lewis, “Gracs Dar- ling of America”; Charles C. Pickney, soldier and statesman, and Enrico Caruso, operatic tenor.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Young Bride Who Has to Do All the Wooing. Woman Who Fled From Temptation In- stead of Breaking Up Homes. AR MISS DIX: 1 have only been married a few months, but I am confronted with a puzzling and disquieting problem that I do not know how to solve. My nature is very demonstrative and affectionate, and as I am very much in love with my husband T quite frequently want to kiss him and, as the expression goes, “make a fuss over him.” He does not return my caresses. He acts bored, and peevishly inquires why can't I let him alone. But if I do, and act as he does, utterly indifferént, he becomes sulky and sullen, and wants to know what Is the matter with me, and why I am so0 cold and distant. Now, Miss Dix, what is a poor bride to do? PUZZLED WIFE. Answer: Of course, if you treated him as he deserves to be treated you would give your husband a dose of his own medicine. You would refrain from kissing him or caressing him, or showing him any tenderness, and let him do his share of the courting, if there was any billing and cooing in your love nest. But if you treated your husband this way, and gave him back coldness for coldness, the chances are that you would freeze your love to death, and very soon you and he would become one of those estranged couples who seem to be perfectly indifferent to each other and have no tie that binds them together, except he matrimonlal yoke You will find, as you journey further along the matrimonial pathway. little bride. that justice has no place in married life, and that husbands and wives cannot be dealt with as they deserve to be dealt with. You cannot measure the patience and forbearance, the tenderness and love, the caresses and endearments that you get, and say that you will give back only so much as you have received. You must give all that is in you without counting the cost or asking for a return. Certainly 1t hurts the pride and humiliates a woman for her to have to organize the petting party, and assuredly it is a chilling thing to have to kiss & man who gives no more response than a graven image. But because a man is & dumb lover is really no indication that his affection is a luke- warm one. Sometimes a cold exterior covers a warm heart, just as thers are voleanoes under snow-covered mountains. Sometimes a man is morbidly shy and self-conscious, and just doesn’t know how to be tender and loving, and show what he feels Often it is just a man’s vanity that makes him force his wife to do the lovemaking. He likes to feel that he is the grand Pasha who throws the handkerchief, and she his humble handmaiden who picks it up. If your husband complains that you are grouchy when you don’t caress him, it shows that he likes it and misses it. So my advice o you is just to laugh at him and tell him that you see through his pose, and kee demonstrative. Ice melts in the sun if it is exposed to the nth long enough. DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX: 1 morried 15 years ago to escape an unhappy home life. I made a mistake and have always been miserable, for I am married to & clod. B me. A few y o 1 was thrown into the company of a brilliant married man. The call and answer of our souls, each for the other, was uncanny T was almost swept away by our love, but T put 3,000 miles between us and am trylng to make the best of life. Am I wrong, and & hypocrite; in living the lie that spells happiness to my clod and the wife of my lover? THIRTY-FIVE. Answer You are fine, and brave, and honorable, and are doing the straight thing, that in the end will bring you a peace and joy that will be more enduring than any happiness you could have found in taking your own happine: the expense of others. You did a great wrong to your husband in the first place by marrying him without love, just’ because he offered you a home and luxuries, and it was easier to be supported than to support yourself. He has kept faith with you and complied with his side of the bargain, and it seems to me that you would be a quit if you reneged on your part of the trade. Having embarked on a carcer of deceit with him, it is up to you to go on deceiving him until the end and making him believe you have the affection for him that he thinks vou have. 2 believe that any new home that built on the wreck of an old home ever prospers. I do not believe that the love that disregards everything but ftself ever brings real peace. 1 do not believe that the man and woman who break old ties, who @re false to their marriage vows and who forsake the old wives and husbards of whom they are tired are ever blessed I think that their consciences always trouble them, that their lives are poisoned by remorse and that in their hearts they always have a secret contempt for themseclves as weaklings who did not have the strength to stand up and do a hard thing when they knew i. was the right thing to do is Moreover, T do not e not of that brecd. You are one of the strong ones srage, but wisdom, for when you fled from temptation It is easier to resist the one we love when we are ical attraction of the tender hands that caress us linging lips that kiss. We forget when we do not have the daily companionship that is like bread to our hungry souls. Love comes unbidden and unsought to many men and women when it is too late. May your example inspire them to take the hard way of duty, rather than the easy way of inclination DOROTHY DIX R DOROTHY DIX D We are two young men who would like to marry, but the trouble is that we have a good mother, a mother who took a lot of trouble to rear us, and she finds fault with every girl we like, and makes life so miserable for us that we sacrifice our young woman friends for the sake of peace at home. you think that we have a right to marry, and pick out our wives ves? D. AND B. Evidently, who have no you fled to righteousness far away from the ph Answer: You certainly Many mothers have have. Your mother is very much at fault this jealousy, and break up every match that their sons contemplate making, until finally they are forced into old bachelorhood. Thereby she does them a great wrong, for a man is not only happier, but he makes a better man and a better citizen if he marries and has children Marriage is such a personal thing, so much a matter of Individual taste, that no human being has a right to select a mate for another. Certainly no mother knows what will appeal to a man in a girl. So beyond satisfying herself that a girl is of good principles, a mother should keep her hands off her son's marriage. Let those who have to live with them pick them. DOROTHY DIX (Copyright.) A New Shoe. | A wide strap across the instep is distinctive of many of the new shoes. 1t is often decorated witha big buckle.
