A 'WOMAN. said to me recently: “There was never a better nor a finer woman than my mother, buf, unfortunately, she does not possess the gentle art of living in other people’s homes.’” As she spoke I glimpsed the tragedy that is so familiar to us that we lose sight of its heartbreaking pathos—that of the woman who is torn between her love and duty to her mother and her love and duty to her husband, and who spends her life as % sort of buffer, standing between them, trying to shield each from the other and patiently taking herself the blows that they aim at each other, Mother is old. and lonely, and homeless, and forlorn, and there is no one to take care of her except her daughter. But mother is arrogant, opinionated and dictatorial. The woman's husband naturally resents this. Mother-in-law £ets upon his nerves. The peace and happlness of the household are destroyed, and the reai victim of the situation is the poor woman who cannot turn her mother out, but who feels that she is doing a criminal thing in ruining her husband’s home for him. This is the real heart of the mother-inlaw problem. Not many men or women are mean enough to begrudge their wives' or their husbands’ mothers food and shelter. It is because so few old women possess the gentle art of living in other people’s homes that they are such unwelcome inmates of their in-laws’ houses. Perhaps this is inevitable. Being at the head of her own house for 130 or 40 yvears does not fit a woman to take a back seat in somebody else's house, especially when that house is her child’s. .For not one mother in 10,000 ever realizes that her child ever grows up and has a right to its individual life. HEN her John and Mary are 60 years old they are still toddling infants in her eyes, incapable of taking care of themselves or deciding things for themselves. She still feels that she has a right to direct their every move, that her judgment is superior to theirs and it is her privilege to manage them and their homes, and wives, and children. Hence trouble ensues. Mother becomes the storm center in the house in which she is billeted and, according to statistics, i the cause of more divorces than all the seven deadly sins. Now, the gentle art of living in other people’s houses is not an easy one to acquire. It requires profound study. herolc determination and almost superhuman sacrifice of one's inclination. Still, it can be done, and T carnestly urge the study of this accomplishment to all mothers who see looming before them the prospect of spending their latter days in their children’s houses The first thing to learn in acquiring the gentle art of living in other people’s homes Is to bear continually in mind that vou are a guest. Particularly that you are the guest of your son-in-law or your daughter-inlaw You are not paying for your board and keep. It is being given to you, and the least return you can make for it is to be pleasant and agreeable. So. like a well bred guest. fall in with the arrangements of the home in which you are visiting. Do not try to alter them. Permit the man and woman who pay for the upkeep of the establishment to run it as they please Do not criticize the food, nor tell how much better you prepare every dish that is set before vou. Next, learn not 1o interferc.. Don't go snooping around in the ice box, nor peering into the garbage can. You may think it is sacrilege for vour daughterin-law to usa her best china every day and apprehend that She is sending vour son to the poorhouse by the thickness of her potato peelings: but that is her business and his business, not vours hate tobacco smoke nd belleve cigarettes invention of the wu - may disapprove of card playing and automobile riding on Sundays, but nobody has divinely appointed pu to censor vour sonein-ia { morals.

Y The next grace to acquire in the gentle art of living in other people’s homes is to discreetly efface vourself now and then. Don't be always among those present. Don't always tag along. Don’t be the first one in the automobile every time it is brought out. Don't have to be taken along every time husband and wife go to the movies. Don't camp under the drop light in the Hving room. Ivery husband and wife like to be alone sometimes cultivate the habit of spending much of your own time in your own room Jave your own interests and amusements, and don't become an old woman of the sea on the backs of your children. It 0ld women would cultivate the gentle art of living in other people s houses: if they would Keep their fingers out of other people’s ples. if the: wouldn't try to boss everything; if they wouldn't make perpetual suggestions about evervthing, the mother-inlaw question would automatically settle itself Yor the pity of it is that there are so many women who are bad to with DOROTHY .

D. |about the face which were formerly ascribed to other causes. { _The use of face powder for the sake of comfort or appearance is harmless {if the powder contains nothing which will excite irritation in the individual who has an idiosyncrasy, such as that which some individuals have even against orris root. Most persons can use orris root with impunity, but oc- casionally orris root will set up a dermatitis (skin inflammation) in a susceptible individual. Some women find orris root excellent as a dry sham- pob for removing an excess of oil frem the scalp and hair. As a commentary upon the ethics of the cosmetic trade. I quote this paragraph from a Government publi- cation (a Public Health Service bull tin entitled ‘“‘Cosmetics as Drugs” “Of 18 samples of rice powder exam- inad, but two were genuine and only si:: contained rice starch at all. In eight of the samples corn starch was uted in place of the more expensive rice starch, and in two samples no starch of any Wind was present, the constituents being wholly of a mineral origin. Ta’c was present in 13 of the 16. samples.” Face Powder. Heavy powders consist of barium sulphate with a finely powdered tal cum. Light powders are usually starch—corn starch, wheat starch or | rice starch. Rice starch is finer than | corn starch or wheat starch. Rice | powder starch granules, however, are somewhat sharper than corn starch or wheat starch granules, and for this reason rice powder carelessly applied is likely to set up inflammation of the eyelids,and conjunctivitis. Zinc oxid is sometimes added to face powder and is comparatively harmless. Very few cheap powders contaln lead car- bonate—which is a poison. Bismuth subearbonate is the important in- gredient in so-called liquid powders. Bismuth is comparatively harmiess. The prolonged or habitual use of face powder is without serious objec- tlon from the hygienic viewpoint. The notion that powder tends to “clog the pores” is wholly imaginary. Baby speclalists have reported sev- eral cases of insufflation pneumonia in infants from the careless use of zinc stearate tollet powder. In some cases the fatal inhalation of the pow- der occurred when the infant was given the powder can to play with and accidentally removed the top. Face powders are sometimes colored with carmin for flesh tints and with umber or yellow ocher for brunette tints. These are harmless enough. Some bizarre tints are obtained by the use of various anilin dyes, and for certain sensitive persons the ani- lin dyes are irritants and will produce obstinate dermatitis. Compact powders are usuaily heavy powder (barium sulphate with more or leess talcum) moistened with aico- hol and compressed to the desired form. The addition of zinc oxid makes the compact more solid. The use of powder in this form is quite as harm- less as it is in the ordinary form. Trade statistics show that about 240 million packages of face powder are used annually in the United States, and nearly 18 million packages of rouge. Although most of this is harmless, it is still a good plan for any one using these cosmetics to re- member that certain skin lestons, cer- tain cases of obstinate eye inflamma- tion and certain cases of systemic poisoning are due to these cosmetics, and that good dermatologists now consider the use of these cosmetics responsible for some skin troubles ized on Swift & Company aafes of carches beef in Washington.

The very favorable aspects that pre- vail toward the latter part of today continue fn full force until about noon tomorrow. A rather sudden change is then evident, and they become drab and negative. During the morning you can travel “full steam ahead,” in the assurance that all intelligent ef- fort, backed by concentration and driving power, will lead ultimately to success, After midday it is advis- able to “let up” a little, as the results cannot be prognosticated with any de- gree of certainty. While a “do noth- ing" policy cannot be too strenuously {condemned, more deliberation, added caution and a more careful analysis of conditions will be required in the af- ternoon than in the earlier period of the day. A child born tomorrow will not, at | birth, display that sturdiness and gen erally sound physical condition which | all parents hope to see in their off spring. This, however, need not cause | either worry or anxlety, as with proper care and nutrition, and as a {result of latent force and recupera- tive power, this child will, with the passing years, attain physical nor- maley. Its disposition, while generally attractive and pleasing, will, at times. show signs of selfishness, and It must be taught in its early vouth the com pensations and blessings of considera- tion for others. It will be persevering {and ambitious, and more devoted to reading and study than to outdoor pastimes or recreations. 1f tomorrow is your birthday you have a very keen mind, so long as | you keep it intent on one subject You lack versatility, and, as a result of obsessions, very frequently fail to take full advantage of opportunity when it knocks at your door.

It is co posed of the prefix “in” plus “toxi cum,” meaning arrow poison. “Toxi- cum” was the preparation in which the Latins dipped the arrows which they wanted to have poisoned tips. Hence a man who is intoxicated is “dipped in poison,” as the old Latins saw it! Perhaps, after reading this, lovers of the convivial glass will pre. fer for their conversation the plain and inelegant English word “drunk’ —which cannot tell a story. (Copyright. 1926.)
