They have done nothing more®than their duty to their children. They thrust life upon their children and they were under every obligation to do everything in their power to make that life worth having. On the othey hand, having had tender and loving and generous parents, 1t ix a debt of-honor on the children to repay the kindness they have received. and the'sacrifices that have been made for them, by meeting their fathers' and Mmothers’ tvishes’ as far. as they can. and by not blizhting their hopes and wounding the hearts of these who have loved and cherished them all their lives if they_can possibly ayoid doing so.

But, in the Jast analysis, marriage is the most personal thing on earth, and the one thing in which no human beinz can judge for another.

They have no fault to find with each other or their marriage, . but their friends and neighbors are con- vinced there must hbe something wrong. The conventional s idea — that the man should be the older of the two— is so firmly implanted in some peo- ple's minds that any one who goes against the accepted rule is almost in | the criminal class.

Nor do many -men willingly see most of the money they make go to paying doctors’ bills and sanatorium bills, which is the fate of the man with an invalid wife. But, howaver much the parents disapprove of their son’s marriage, I ‘do not think that the father is justified in depriving the son of his means of Tivelihood and Blighting his future. That is too cruel a revenge to take for thwarted tyranny. The parents’ obligation to the child they brought into the never ceases, and instead of intensifying the hardships of a foolish it is their duty to try to save it fromi becoming a tragedy. DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: 1 have been going with the nicest young man I have ever known. He is industrious, truthful, honest and a good Christian, but he did not have the opportunity of going to school much when he was growing up. and he makes many mistakes in his grammar. He is willing for me to correct him. In fact, he has asked me to do so. Do you think that T should refuse to marry him when I love him just becaus he has not had the educational advantages that I have had? SALLY. Answer:. I certainly do not. It is a lot easier to reform a man's grammar and his pronunciation than it is his morals, and vou‘will stand a better chance of happiness in marrying a man who is shy on book-learning than you would in marrying one who was short on kindness and tenderness and consideration of a woman. Education doesn’t all come put up in schoolbook packages. Some of the most broadly intelligent men I have ever met were anly graduates of the University of Hard Knocks. They had what Whittier describes the “wide. free. hookless lore that toiling men had brought them,” and were wise and witty heyond any mere student., So never make the mistake of gauging a man’s brains by his, grammar. Of course, it is highly desirable that one's grammar should be ahove reproach, but if a man is anxious to correct his faults, he can easily do so. Many of our most prominent men have polished up their manners and the speech as they climbed the ladder, of success. DOROTHY DIX. P > EAR MISS DIX: T am & woman with gray hair and am thinking of. having it bobbed. Don’'t you think it will make me look younger? You said not long ago that there was no woman more attractive than an old woman if she kept in her class. What is your idea of anideal old lady? > ~ RS. A. B..C. Answer: I think it is @ mijstake for an old woman to bob her gray hair. hecause bobbing belongs to the flappers, and she draws attention to how old Shledia by instituting comparison between her gray locks and their black or golden ones. ¢ Also gray hair is dead and lifeless, and it clings to the skull, which ‘is always unbecoming. Compare any bobbed gray-haired woman you know with the pictures of the fluffed and curled gray wigs that the French women wore in the time of the empire and you will see what I mean. My ideal old woman is a woman who dresses beautifully her gray tresses; whose raiment is as costly as her purse can buy and who keeps in telephoning distance of.the fashions, but doesn’t cut her skirts off to her knees, or expose her old bones or superabundant fat in a too decollete gown: who is witty and entertaining and bright and charming, but who doesn’t talk ahout beaux or pretend to the arts and artifices of girlhood. than the average blass | modern flapper_of 19 They've kept their h | young, and there is no danger | their growing suddenly old.

If vou were a Chinese, rugs.would mean more to you than just floor cov- erings. Of course, your rugs would have to be lovely in color, pleasing’in zeneral effect, and correct in size, but they also would convey a message.

Chinese think of something else.”Egch color is sym- holic_of something. Red signifies fire and the South: black, water-and the North; blue or green, wood and the East: white, metal or mist and the West: vellow, earth and the eenter. You will rarely find white in a Chinese rug because white is -the color of mourning. When people die they *“go West.” 2 You'll generally find that Chinese colors are brilliant. They are selected for their bold contrasts.” Most people seem to think that only the old Chi- nese rugs, which were vegetable dved, are permanent in color, bnt fast colors in Chinese rugs are really a modern achievement.

Thus —when the famous Simplon tunnel was being built through the Alps a difficulty was en countered that almost baffled the rail roads. Though the tunnel passed un der a low gap, there was still about two miles of rock, weighing millions and milllons of tons, overhead, and the heat that this caused was so ter- rific that miners were scarcely able to work.~ Special streams -of fresh air were fanned into thé tunnel con stantly to cool the atmosphere. but. as New Combination of Yeast With e Vegetable Iron Builds Up eight in Three Weeks Thin, run-down and underweight men, women and children can improve their health, increase their energy and put on from five to twenty pounds of good solid flesh in three weeks.

For years yeast has been known as a rich vitamine food, but not until we per- fected “ironized yeast”—which comes in concentrated tablet form, was it possible to take yeast and iron in the right propor- tions to build up weight. Vegetable “Iron” when combined with' yeast is quite easy to digest, therefore bet- ter for the system. And “yeast” when iron- ized, becomes just twice as beneficial as ordinary fresh or cake yeast.
