They are not heavy always, but become g0 in | the morning when I rise. 1 have no| eye trouble. What causes this disfigure- | ment? ALICE R. Answer—There are several possible causes. Perhaps you do not have| enough fresh air in your sleeping room. | 1f possible try sleeping on a sleeping| porch. If you must sleep indoors have at least two open windows in the room. ! Another cause may be constipation. Un- less you are under 17 years of age, or un- | less you are considerably underweight, you do not need to sleep 10 hours. It | makes a person feel dull to sieep too much.

Summer vacations take some folks away from home. ily goes to the seashore, sometimes to grandfather's farm That is where Nancy's cousin Margaret and her voung daughter were going. To get there they had to ride on a train which had no dining car. Margot was sure this was hardship until she saw the kind of lunch her mother was packing. They started with 2 stout box. This was lined with paraffine paper. Into it went some hard cooked eggs and a small envelope of salt.

Big straggly pieces of chicken make sandwiches which are difficult to cat. There was a thermos bottle which held milk and instead of msing paper or collapsible cups to hold the milk Margaret packed light-weight aluminum mugs. There were filled cookies, some had jelly centers and some had raisin mix- ture. But the big surprise came from a second thermos bottle—tiny balls of well-chilled watermelon, This was most | refreshing on the hot and dusty train (Copyright, 1928) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Our present-day tendency is to rush everything. Parents can hardly wait until the new-born baby smiles, until he gets his first tooth, until he reaches for his toys, until he walks and talks. Instead of centering their attention on | nutrition and letting each of these | stages approach naturally, the parent | anticipates them and hurries the child | into them | S0 when the six or seven months old child shows a tendency to want fo stand | on his wabbly liftle legs, the parent by him a walker and lel5 him run all over | the house in if.

Bables are better off not to| walk before they are 1 year old, and | they should not be encouraged to do so Some can't be kept down, that is true. but the average haby cannot walk nat urally at 7 or 8 months, and shouldn't | be allowed to put any weight on his feet. Instead, if he shows a real desire | 1o stand up, he can be put in his play | pen for short periods at different times during the day and allowed to creep or cige they need to strengthen them for | walking | Imagine how tired you would get sit- | ting for long periods on a hard floor, or | standing,-and have some pity on the baby, who can only express his discom- fort by growing whiny and irritable And even when he is 50 tired and cross that he doesn’t know what to do but | | ery, the baby will keep on walking or running around and refuse to be put to bed.

That aimost every marriage that | is a failure is one for the same reason? That practically ali husbands and wives fall out of love with each other because of petty tyrannies and nagging and selfishness and lack of consideration? | — | This being the case. wouldn't you think that every young couple who got married would make a cast-iron’ resolve, and keep it, not to be guilty of the faults that they have seen alienate their friends and break up their homes? | Wouldn't you think when they saw that the A’s were ruining what ought to be a happy marriage by snarling and spitting at each other like an angry dog | and cat they would refrain from quarreling? Wouldn't you think that when a bride saw Mre. B. driving her husband away from her by her perpetual fault- finding she would bite her tongue off before she would criticize her own husband? Wouldn't you think fhat when a man saw how Mr. C. was taking all the | | joy out of life for his wife By his grouching he would resolve to be a little ray | | of sunshine in his own home? Wouldn't you fhink, when a man saw how Mr. | | D. was killing his wife's love for him by never speaking to her except to find | fault with her, and by starving her heart to death, that he would take the | trouble to jolly his wife along? | But they don't. Nobody is warned by another's experience. Such is hu- { man conceit that every, husband and wife think that they can treat those to whom they are married just as badly as they want to, that they can be j | as careless as they wish, and the partners of their bosoms will go right on lov ; ing them | There is nothing more cynical in life than the fact that when we hear | | of a divorce among our friends our first comment almost always is “Well, what | did they expect? How did he or she think that he or she would get by with the | | way he or she did> How did the wife think that she would hold her husband if she let herself get frowsy and slovenly, or if she devoted all of her time to her children and gave none to him, or if she was peevish and fretful and uncom- | | fortable to live with? Why did she think that he would not go off to some other woman who was pretty and attractive, and who flattered and cajoled him? | | “What made the husband think his wife would keep on loving him when he was drunken or lazy or cross and surly or stingy or jealous? What made | him think that she would continue to.forgive his philandering?’ In your particular case you were not warned by all the women that vou had seen lose good husbands because they were too selfish and self-centered to take the trouble {0 try to keep them. No more will others be warned by your fate, or else we would not have so many wrecked homes. ~ DOROTHY DIX EAR MISS DIX—I am a young man, 19 years of age, in love with a woman | who is 12 years my senior. She is clever, bright and cultured, but my | parents oppose our marriage because of the discrepancy in our ages. They | claim that a woman ages quicker than a man, and that when T am in my prime she will be an old woman. I cannot sce the force of the objection and am in- clined to disregard my parents' wishes. What is your advice? ~ HORACE R. Answer: It is proof of your youthfulness that you are looking for a mother instead of wife. That is the reason that you have not bestowed your af- | fections upon a girl of your own age, Nearly every boy's first love is a woman | much older than himself. It is part of the mother complex. | At 19 you are entirely too young to marry anybody of any age. Your ! taste {5 unformed and will change a dozen times before you really arrive at | man’s estate. Your judgment is not mature enough for you to risk it in the | selection of a wife under any circumstance, but you would add to the hazard of the proceedings if you picked out a wife a dozen years older than you are. 1‘ Wait until you are at least 25 years old. Then, if you are still in love with this | woman, you will be assured that you will like 'em old and prefer mature women to | flappers. But you can't be certain of that now. Two or three years' difference in age does not matter, but T think that | for a woman to be 12 years older than her husband is entirely too great a dif- | ference in age, because, as your parents have assured you, women do age quicker than men do, and when you are still a young man wanting to run around and enjoy yourself she will be an old woman who is tired and® wants to sit by the | But more than that Is the fact that no woman who is much older | her husband can keep from being fealouz of him.

The well dressed woman is not the one who has many and expensive | clothes. 1It's the one who chooses her things to fit her way of life and who | spends as much on the details as on | the main articles | The city woman or the business | woman, for instance, must have one good tatlored outfit, sports or other- vise. Sports means simplicity rather than special design for tennis or golf or such things. The country woman or the city woman whose mornings are spent at home doing housework needs one or two cheap but nice working frocks. and for the rest dressy outdoor clothes. The woman who moves in a small circle of people will be better dressed with six inexpensive changes of clothes (to give variety); the woman who sees had better take the same money and buy two dresses, wearing them again and again The busy outdoors woman or busi- ness woman has no need of fancy after- noon clothes. She wants a not-too- severe taflored suit. a dress, preferably black and with sleeves, suitable for dining out for theaters. She wants evening dress- es, an evening cloak or a shawl, a mod- erately dressy coat and one dress af least, silk or wool, for informal we: A plain raglan-sieeved tweed coat is a good investment: it can be worn for 10 years and stay in fashion; it is for | country, seashore, extra warmth with | & suit and for general hack wea | good quality. fresh, well kept.

JOHN R. GUNN. | Godliness and Happiness. Happy is the man that findeth ~Prov. 3:13 | By wisdom Solomon does not mean | knowledge, He does not mean to sa “Happy is the man that findeth know his own experience. He knew that the mere possession of knowledge could not | make one happy. He was a man of great learning, covering the fields of astronomy, architecture, agriculture, navigation, art, literature, history, po- | litical economy, natural science and all the sciences so far as known in his | eay. And of his possession of knowledge vexation of spirit.” Neither does he mean by wisdom | cleverness and shrewdness. He was one of the shrewdest and most clever men the world has ever known. He was | wise in the ways of the world. He had position. He had wealth. He was a great butlder, and a promoter of great enterprises. To fill the place he oceu- pled and achieve the things he achieved required unusual genfus and worldly sagacity. And yet, at last he turned from all these things and cried. “Van- ity of vanities! All is vanity!” He would be the last to say, “Happy s the man that findeth genius and shrewd- ness.” ; | Solomon does not leave us to con- jecture as to what he means by wis- dom. He explains what he means else- where, when he says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." It is in fearing God and keeping His com- mandments that happiness is found. In another proverb Solomon says, “He that | keepeth the law, Bappy is he” Happiness is a spiritual attainment, | and s not to be found in thing Godliness gives real happiness: noth- | g else does. Without godliness, no amount of knowledge or smartness. no amount of wealth or achievemdnt can bring happiness. (Copyright. 1938) o Lyon Has Glass Street.
