HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN. | The lure of the antique is strong | | and it is a_wise woman who can buy discriminatingly from the fascina ing arrays in antlque shops those | pieces which meet a definite need in | her home. Simple design, good lines | and fine old woods are worth while— but one must be careful not to pay mora than they are worth. If one seeks furniture for the dining room of a cozy little home, or quaint pieces for an individual breakfast room, such antiques as those shown here are w investments, | The cupboard is of pine and has | been made gay and new with a coat of paint—creamy yellow outside and bright turquoise blue inside.

It was as easy as all that. Nor need one wonder at it. When you are starving vou grab at the first morsel of food that is offered you. You do not stop to investigate if 1t is wholesome, whole-wheat bread or to see whether it has the pure-food label on it or not. “This is not the first time, nor will it be the last, that women have fallen and will fall for the glib-tongued lovemaker who woos them in lovely, soulful. old-fashioned novel language and who offers them a slice of the angel's food of romance for which every mother's daughter of us pines and which very few of us ever taste For even the women who get nibble at it, and this is the unconfe good men have against their husbands They know that their husbands love them. Good heavens! Doesn’t John work himself to death to prove it and doesn’t he say it with his check book? Every day he gives a proof of devotion strong enough to borrow money on at the bank.

Most women burst into tears when men propose to them, and the men think that it is because they are overcome with joy at getting such good things as they are, but in reality the women are crying out loud with chagrin and disappointment at the prosaic, commonplace way in which they have done it. The big moment of their lives, to whi ever since they were little girls in pist been ruined. Their last chance at romance is gone. They are never going to hear the impassioned speech that they pine and long to hear and which they have dreamed of treasuring in their memories and repeating to their grandchildren when they are withered old women b they had been laoking forward . . 'HE American husband is the best husband in the world and the worst lover, He gives his wife everything in the world she wants except the thing she wants most, and that is sentiment. And if before marriage he is a dumb Romeo, who finds courtship arduous and embarrassing and boresome, after marriage he is both dumb and blind, and he cuts out the soft talk entirely. . . There are thousands upon thousands of women whose all love-making with a suddenness that jarred the bride's back teeth loose. Plenty of women are thereafter bound to take it for granted that their husbands still feel an affection for them, since they have not divorced them. But their husbands never show them any tenderness, they never pay them a compliment, they never notice what they have on or whether they are sick or well, or happy or miserable. And, so far as the wives can see, they are regarded with no wmore personal feeling than their husbands have for the kitchen range or the electric light or any other household convenience. The tragedy of all this is that the women cannot satisfy themselves with tbe knowledge that their husbands probably still care for them. It is not enough for them that their husbands provide them with food and clothes and cars and trips to Burope. They want love. They want sentiment. They want romance. They want to be flattered. They want something to put pep into their days. husbands stopped It is this that makes women the easy prey of any adventurer who comes along who makes burning. passionate love to them and who makes them feel—even for an hour—that they are the heroines in the great adventure of which they have dreamed so long. It is this soul hunger that makes otherwise sensible women run off after long-haired prophets of s ge cults. It is because women cannot get, at home, the fcod for which they starve that respectable wive nd mothers get into compromising affairs with lounge lizards and danci partners in tearooms and write fool mash notes to movie sheiks, 5 Half of the idiotic things women do i= the result of their search for romance. Half of the unhappiness from which they suffer is the lack of romance n their lives. And this heing so, it is a pitiful thing to think that husbands will not take the trouble to show their wives the few little attentions and say the few kind words by which they set such undue store and which would make them happy and contented.

Have you ever then kicked yourself savagely for making such a fool of yourself and wished whole-heartedly that you could crawl |away somewhere and die. Of course, you have, if you're al- ways pulling that sort of fiasco. Sim- ply hecause you're too anxious. You're so grimly and desperately bent on be- ing amusing that the desperation and earnestness creeps into your voice, robbing your tale of any humor or merriment. You simply can't try to be funny and have any success at all.

Of course it's true he's making some effort—but {all the humor and the merriment and the gayety is right there inside him. He's so chockfull of comedy he can't keep it in. He's bursting with jokes. His eyes twinkle. He doesn’'t look japprehensive. He knows that his line will make people laugh, because he's just on the verge of laughter himself. There must be lots of girls of your acquaintance who will relate the most {unexciting stories in a manner that sets a crowd roaring. They've got real humor bottled up inside them, and theve is no need for them to be grimly earnest about saying amusing things. Vi , of course, it's the fashion to be amusing and gay and witty.

To watch a girl's face as she offers her timid wigecrack—to see her essay a bright remark with a worried smile | —to catch that quick flush that com with the unappreciative silence with which her hon mot is received—is to realize the folly of ever putting your mind to being funny without any real fun inside.

Apart from theso considerations, the knowl- edge of swimming is invaluable not be lite in case of need but also for ren- stance to others in danger swim, either in indoor pools or out- doors in streams or lakes. Profes- sional swimming instructors are sta- tioned at many of these places. It is better, of course, to have correct instruction than to try to learn by one’s self. One of my readers has in- quired whether there are correspon- dence courses in swimming and has me to publish such a_course.

Either take the gauze bandage materlal you buy by tha roll in drug stores or else tear old sheets into narrow strips, or buy cheap, thin, unbleached muslin and do the same with it. You should have about three yards of the strip to bind the chin properly. If the chin is just getting flabby from age, if the skin is dry and wrinkled and sags, I'd suggest rub- bing a little flesh-building cream over the chin and down the neck, holding a piece of oiled silk over it and bind- ing it snugly under the chin. Hold one end of the strap under the chin, pull it up over the top of the head and Everyday Law Cases Will Broker Making Unauth- orized Sale Get Commission? BY THE COUNSELLOR. Henry Jackson was a tobacco bro- ker. He had made one sale for Tom ‘West on which he had collected com- missions and some time later he saw the opportunity to make another sale when he received a communication from an out-of-town buyer asking for a particular grade of tobacco. Jackson informed West of the com- munication and was told that there was a supply of the desired totacco on hand. Thereupon Jackson so in- formed his prospective buyer, who came to the city to make the pur- chase, calling first upon Jackson and being taken by him to West. No sale resulted at that time. Two weeks later Jackson learned that West had sold his buyer 70 cases of tobacco and he thereupon made a demand for his commissions. But West refused to pay, claiming that he himself had made the sale and that Jackson had rendered his services without request, the services being, therefore, voluntary and gratuitous. Jackson instituted suit, but lost his such a frame of mind. It's got to| come to you. It will only come if you're not striving too desperately | hard for it. Let yourself be natural and easy.
