Is Unattractive Beau Better Than No Beau at All?—School or Work. | T)EAR MISS DIX: If you were an ofice woman who had worked 15 years, | elbowing men in business, and had become indifferent to marriage, and to | the art of charming men for the purpose of winning them in marriage, what would you do to correct your indifference? Would it be worth while, anyway? | | If you were such a woman would you not rather be satisfled to lst well enough | alone, and go along in the even tenor of our way? This is an angle of the | social question that will interest many business women. A READER. | | | | Answer: T think that the competent business woman with a good job, who | has passed safely through the hectic chills and fever of flapperdom, and recovered | from it, is wise if she lets well enough alone. For if in single blessedness there | are few thrills, there is the peace that passes all understanding. Whether a woman should marry or not depends on two things. First, on | how badly she wants to marry and, secondly, upon the kind of man she can get | to marry. There are women who are man-crazy from the cradle to the grave. | | The only thing that ever interests them is men. The only career they look | | forward to is wifehood, and life is meaningless and flat to them without a | t husband. | | Such women are happier even when they marry men who beat and | mistreat them than they are single. | ing souvenir post cards at $1 a thou- | sand. “If you ask me what machine counts most in business today, I'd say the addin’ machine.” | (Copyright, 1929.)

The climate of places on the trip should enter into plans and the methods of travel also. Steamer, railroad and motor trips have different specialized requirements. Those going abroad who have not al- ready secured accommodations should be quick about it. If going during the rush season, which starts shortly before schools and colleges close, they will find | that the “pick” of rooms is already cur- | tailed. On tourist boats, where the rate of prices is flat, selection of rooms should b> made long in advance., Price does not dictate location, as it does in other plans. First come, first served, should be remembered in tourist travels. | (Copyright, 1920 make the world safe for something or | | other.

You are this type of woman, and you should not marry unless you find | ;Xr:n;e man who is particularly congenial and with whom you fall very desperately | in love. | | You should not marry just to be a-marrying, or jusl because ail of your friends have married and have homes and families of their own, or just because you suddenly realize that if you don't marry soon you will be an old maid and | your chances wiil be gone, and you are afraid that when it is too late you might regret it. | | Undoubtedly to be happily married is the happiest state on earth. Undoubtedly there is no human relationship that is so perfect as that of the husband and wife who are really mated and who satisfy each other's every need of body and mind and soul. Undoubtedly if Paradise is ever regained it is .1 found in homes that are filled with peace and love. | But the reverse of this is also true, and there is no other hell on earth equal to a discordant home in which the husband and wife quarrel and revile and insult each other. Nor is there any other torture equal to that of a man and a woman who hate and loathe each other and yet who are bound together. Every woman who marries stakes her all on a gamble, for there is no | possible way that she can know beforenand the kind of a husband a man will | make, and nothing but a love so great that it makes her feel that there is | nothing in life for her, anyway, if she doesn’t get him justifies her in taking the chance. Therefore, I should always advise the woman who was still in her | sane senses, and not carried away by love, to play safe and stick to her pay envelope and her freedom. ‘The life of the girl bachelor has many compensations. Few married women | can afford the clothes and the amusements that the competent business woman enjoys. Few wives work as short hours .and have as long vacations.

Remember that the first question you will be asked when you apply for a job is whether you graduated from high school or not, and if you did not all the bétter places will turn you down. The more you know the higher wages you can get. Perhaps if you will think of school as a ladder on which you are going to climb up to the things you want, it will not seem so distasteful to you. Perhaps your studies will not seem so dull and uninteresting to you if you realize that they are going to be of some practical use to you, and that the cleverer you are in mathematics, and the more you know about English and spelling and grammar, the more successful you will be in whatever line of work you.undertake.

That insures children’s bones developing prop- erly; makes their teeth hard and strong? Only recently physicians have found out. They have named it Vitamin “D,” the sunshine vitamin. And now Professor Harry Steenbock, distinguished scientist, hasmadea new discovery. He haslearned that this sun vitamin can be passed on to youbyirradiating Quaker Farina,a famous hotbreakfastfood,withUltra-VioletLight. A tremendous discovery this. For the sunshine vitamin may truthfully be called a “key” to good health. This vitamin enables the body 0 make use of the ,ylime in milk Nl 4”* / and other foods. Children’s bones and teeth ate made of lime. When the child gets plenty of sunshine, the lime in foods is rapidly fused into bone and muscle. The child flour- ishes, grows normally, has a good appetite. Leg bones are straight, teeth form naturally and grow hard and strong. Let this “sunshine vita- min” be lacking, and the child is apt to be flabby and weak. Bow legs, poor teeth, are common symptoms. The child has no appetite, catches cold easily, is nervous and irritable. - F Don't think that “sunshine starva- tion” is uncommon. As high as 90% i1 of children in northern cities suffer, say health authorities. Gray skies, If childven could always dress like thi, danger of “'sun starvation” wou!ld be much less. even clothing, prevent the sun’s ultra-violet rays from reaching the skin. Thus doctors hail this new source of “sunshine vitamin,” for they've searched for years for easy ways of adding it to the normal diet. Quaker Farina, famous hot break- fast food, made of the creamy white heart of the wheat, has been given the sunshine vitamin through irradia- tion by Ultra-Violet Light under the Steenbock Proc- ess.

Babies are given it as their first solid food. Of fine flavor, easy and quick to digest, it makes an ideal hot breakfast for the whole family.

Enchantment to make the day hap- pier and more productive after the morn- ing cup. Enchantment to help a hostess bring her dinner or luncheon guests to- gether in a “cordial company.” Such enchantment the old Maxwell .House in Nashville offered its patrons. Famous for the charm of its hospitality and for its marvelous Southern cooking, the coffee was its special boast. Distin- guhed visitors—and they included three idents of the United States—compli- mented the coffee. The words of one of them—"Good to the last drop”—have be- come known far and wide. For those who sipped this unusually richand mellow coffeein Nashville,sought it for their own tables at home. Their friends wanted it. Its fame spread abroad until today it is pleasing more critical people throughout the length and breadth of the United States than any other coffee ever offered for sale. For Maxwell House is not a single coffee flavor, but a sparkling bicnd of rany choice coffees each selected for a special excellence. It is the triumph of a ~n who spent months of experimenting to combine in one delicious drink the most delightful flavors of all the diverse coffees grown in many tropic lands That is why Maxwell House Coffee pleases everybody. In it the mild and the pungent, the syrupy and the “winy” are merged in a rich and mellow harmony which comes to the most critical palate as a new and deeply satisfying experience. Within the lifetime of “the Old Colonel,” this superb coffee flavor he created years ago has become America’s most popular coffee.
