"This 1s supposed to represent the last word in desert-deprivation, but there * is nothing in it to compare with the spiritual leanness of a woman on a vacation in the mountains and 3 miles from a jar of face cream! Nearly every woman can remember at least one vacation, measured elther by days or weeks, when she went away without sufficient of her favorite toilet articles to carry her through until she was back in town again. It must not be expected that the stores near the small resorts will carry a ,fresh or complete stock, and to the fastidious woman this can constitute a very great inconvenience indeed, for if ever there is a time when in order to appear fresh and immaculate look- ing we must everlasting] at it,” 1t is during the Summer. These essential toilet supplies, such as soap, toilet water, face powder, tal- cum and creams should go down first on the list of what to pack, An ex- perienced vacationer will remember 10 include soothing lotions and a pro- tecting cream to permit ore to acquire a tan gradually, and without trying to absorb all the beneficial rays of the sun at once, which inevitably means painful sunburn and unsightly “peel- ing.” And do not forget that long tramps and dusty motor roads eat up Zobs of cleansing cream One swallow may not make a Sum * mer, but one vacation can produce a whole flock of freckles, so unless you are one of fortunately immune, it is wise to include also a good freckle lotion.

The cholce of turquoise blue here is significant, since it is the new tur quoise shade introduced by the French milliner, Caroline Reboux, se ral seasons ago. She has kept harping on this shade, quite confident that it would entually find favor with wom- en of discrimination.

It is just at this that the Wi ngton, D. C., Chapter of the Wildflower Preservation So- ciety makes annual trip fo Suit land Bog, in Prince Georges County, Md. A spot now famous throughout the country for the variety and beauty of its wild flowers, it is watched over with a protective eye by this soclet and it is well that its members do so, for should harm come to the flora of this b which at this time of year aches its height, sclence would suf. fer a_genuine loss. Suitland Bog is one of the strangest in the world, for it is almost a pot, and what more, it lies on the side of a hill—a curious spot for a bog, certainly. Yet, many plants characteristic of a bog grow on it, because the soil conditions are suitable. Some moisture is supplied by thin rivulets that trickle through the curious white gravel that consti- tutes the “soil” of this habitat. It is said by scientlsts who have observed it that the whole bog is slowly sliding down the hill! It plants that grow at Suitland Bog. Among them is the poisonous but stately ‘bunch flower, one of the most elegant members of the lily family, with superb wandlike spikes of white flowers. Where a thin trickle of water seeps through the gravel grows a tiny bladder wort with gol- den flowers of a lovely elaborate shape like sweet peas. At times it fairly spangles the white sands. The beau- tiful Virginia magnolia, with its heavy, dark follage, is the commonest tree of the bog, but its blooming time is over now. It is said that a member of the De- partment of Agriculture long ago was the first to discover this bog. He kept bringing in rare plants, arousing the curiosity and jealousy of his col- leagues. He kept the locality a secret for several years, but one of his friends, more industrious than the rest, picked up one little hint that season of year | the discoverer had dropped and hunted for days until he found the spot. It is, in truth, not easy to find even when you are close to it, and for the sake of the wild flower protection, its location shall not be given exactly here. The second finder of the bog, however, was not so cautious, and let his friends in on the secret, so that today Suitland Bog is common property among Washington botanists. Legend has it that the stealing of the first discoverer's thunder by the second put a strain on a long friend- ship, until both came to realize that an important locality for sclentific observation cannot be made personal, but belongs to science.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX She Leave Husband After 50 Years of Unhappiness?—Can Married Man Continue to Be Friends With Old Sweetheart? D ZAR MISS DIX: 1 have reached the three-score-and-ten mark in life. I have been married more than 50 years, and am living alone now with my husband. He is a man who likes to be shown many favors, but never returns any, and besides he is an absolute dumb-bell when we are alone, though he is very chatty when we have company. He never speaks to me except when he comes to the kitchen to order me what to cook for him and to criticize everything I do. I even have to get up in the morning and make the fire in the furnace. He spends his time holding down the best easy chair in the house. Although we are well off, I have never had any allowance for myself, and my husband refuses to pay the bills when I get things for myself that I absolutely need. Do you think I um getting a square deal? 1 feel that I cannot stand this hard and monotonous life much longer, and I am thinking of leaving him and going to an old ladies’ home, where I would be treated with respect and taken care of when I am sick A WEARY ONE. Ahswer: You have been such a good sport for 50 years, sister, I think vou will have the grit and courage to carry on to the end. Don’t run up the white flag now. You have given such a heroic example of endurance, of a woman's standing by her oath to take a man for better or for worse, when it was mostly worse, that it would be a pity to tarnish it by giving up and quitting as weak women do. Believe me, you would not find an old ladies’ home the happy refuge that you think you would. You would miss the independence that you have in your own home, and at your age yvou would not find it easy to adapt yourself to other people’s ways of living and other people’s cooking. Also you would discover that the old ladies that you lived among had their peculiar ways and habits that are just as irritating as your husband's. two people have lived together for 50 years, even if they are not congenial and do not love each other, they have become necessary to each other. They have unconsciously adjusted themselves to each oth and fitted their particular burdens to their backs, and it is better for ther to endure the ills they have than fly to those they know not of Little as you think it, vou would miss Your glum, silent, grouchy old husband if you left him. and you would lie awake at night wondering if he had a good dinner, and if he was suffering mueh with his rheumatism, and it wouldn't be a week before you would be toddling back to your old kitchen and vour old man and your old worries. Be: after and my admiration, dear old lady. We build and pin medals on the breasts of those who have done lant deed, but their courage was only the bravery of a moment. The real heroes of the world are the men and women who have had the cold courage to endure unhappy marriages for 30 or 40 or 50 years Theirs was a suffering that never ended. Theirs was a martyrdom that never ceased - And I think that when we come up to the judgment bar to answer for the deeds done in the flesh, the deepest of all hells will be reserved for the men, who, through their coldness and neglect and stinginess, made their wives' whole married life a torture to them—and for the wives who have made matrimony a purgatory to their husbands by their nagging and fretting and extravagance DOROTHY DIX. You have my sympathy monuments to heroes some conspicuously g AR DOROTHY DIX: I am a young married man with no children, and wish to know what an outsider thinks of the course we are taking. A young lady with whom I have been associated for years in a business way has become a part of my life She is a person of strong Christian character, and we both think it best to refrain from marriage, but wish to continue friends. I have been. and expect to be, true to my wife, but there is an understanding between this young lady and myself, and I have to consider her, too This young woman, my wife and myself used to be good friends and we all had good times together. But now my wife is jealous of her. I cannot give the girl up, have tried it, but it takes too much of my life. But neither my friend nor I intend to do one thing that is wrong. How can we three continue to be friends? . B, Answer: You can't. It is an utter impossibility for a man’s wife and his lady love to be friends. You are demanding that they be more than human if you expect them not to be jealous of each other. We are told that in the harems of the Orient the wives and concubines live in sisterly affection But as this propaganda always comes from men, 1 have my doubts about it. At any rate, I am very certain that there is no self-respecting American woman who will fail to resent another woman coming into her husband's life and being so much to him that he cannot give her up. Moreover, there is no wife with an ounce of spunk in her who wouldn't feel that her husband had offered her a deadly insult when he asked her to be on friendly terms with the woman who had supplanted her in his affection. She would feel that he might, at least, spare her the humiliation of publicly playing second fiddle to his favorite. If you want to see how unreasonable you are, Mr. Man, put the shoe on your own foot. Would you not be jealous of any man who was more to your Wife than you are? And do you think you would enjoy hangihg on his neck and going around with him? You know you wouldn't. And if you had a spark of manhood in you, you wouldn't accept the role of the complacent husband. As a matter married man he not see how your of fact, you know you are doing a very wrong thing. No a right to have affairs with other women. Moreover, I do friend reconclles it to her Christian conscience to engage in one DOROTHY DIX. [DEAR MISS DIX: 1 was a widow with three children between the ages of 10 and 16 when I married a widower with two children between the ages and 14.

MARGARET. I don’t think you have a right to expect your children's step- us to them as he is to his own children. Try to look at the matter squarely, and see that if he provides vour children with the necessary clothes and food and shelter, he is offsetting any work you do for his children in the way of making a home for them. Whatever else he gives your children depends on how generous he is. But, my dear woman, what else could you expect when vou knew there were two families? DOROTHY DIX.
