Charming Wide-Brimmed Hats BY MARY MARSHALL. ‘The fate of the wide-brimmed hat this Summer in France, I have been as- sured, depends to a great extent on the weather. If there are bright sunshiny days in May and the early part of June, then interest in the hat that shades the face will be geratly stimulated. But if | | | ! brimmed, but for count: their approval at least, and the general feeling prevails that wide-brimmed Xis have a far greater chance of success this season than last on account of the | increased flare and greater length of the new skirts.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Health Ignorance. A mother, who surely has a right to be heard, offers this pertinent observa- tion: “We are neither censors nor healih authorities, but we have dur lives to live and we cannot live them at their best with the ‘colds’ and ‘flu’ and other things that are going around most of the time because people insist they catch them from the weather and self- ishly continue to pass the infection on to others. Just as an example of how badly we need instruction—— “One of our teachers who has taught for over 20 years came to see me one afternoon. - Her nose was red, her eyes weepy and she sounded stuffy. I I might shut' the door with her .on the outside., She -said she had a ‘terrible cold, the worst’.she had ever had. In- deed, she.was just sick and had been compell ,m{ e from school for the “I3ald "3t seems too bad for you to go back to school while you have it, for you may give it to the children.’ She laughed that off with ‘Oh, they all have it—they bark until they nearly drive me crazy.’ “She had brought two children with her from the school. .I have a little boy not yet old enough to enter school.

Raisins add a lot to it. Serve with cream. children, who were both snuffling and running at the nose. * * * When the teacher was putting on her rubbers I stood near the door with my two. little ones. Quoth the teacher, ‘Oh, dear, don't keep the baby there with the door open—he will catch cold.’ I told her I was not afraid of his catching anything from the air, but I was afraid of his catching something from people. Perhaps I was too outspoken, but it was not half what I wanted to say, and anyhow, it didn’t mean anything to the teacher.” A very characteristic picture of life. One can imagine that same cher, in the role of physiology or ictor—the schools gener- told. It may be that some one with more or less special training is appointed to supervise or superintend this depart- ment of popular education in the whole school system, or even in the schools of a given community, but nowhere, so far as I have been able to learn, are prop- erly trained teachers employed to give such instruction in the grade schools or high schools. Always it is a subordinate subject, and the school authorities as- sume that any teacher who has any spare time is qualified to teach this silly subject. Naturally this attitude of the toward ‘the subject of health is f the agency of placards, book- lets, pictures and the like, freely fur- nished to teachers or pupils by the peo- ple who seek to propagate certain ideas. I say this whole business is a sorry farce, and I sy that in all sincerity. I do not mean to blame the teachers who may be engaged in the farce; nor do I wish to imply that every commercial in- terest that exploits this ignorance in the schools is a wicked or crooka'iaong. never b lic health authorities the wrath of politicians, and 'the NANCY PAGE Graduating Class Enjoys Garden Party BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. the urn with the hot tea. bowl. plate. of the sandwich on the plate. there. bons and no cakes. their appreciation of the afte The trustees and the school board were giving a garden party for the graduating class.

Serve with hot chicken or veal PROSPECTORS, digging for gold, gamble with nature for the reward of their labors. You don’t have to dig —or gamble either— You are a young man just starting out to make your fortune. You are ambitious and want to get somewhere in the world, and you know you can accomplish nothing if you are burdened with an extravagant wife who wastes th& m}il\cy you work so hard to earn. Very well, then. Begin by teaching your wife thrift. Help her to work out a budget and sce that he keeps within it. Don't start off living beyond your means. Impress upon your bride's plastic mind the horror of debt. Talk over your business affairs with her and make her feel that she is a real partner in the firm of Benedict & Co. and that its prosperity depends just as much on how she spends the firm’s money as Upon YOur earning capacity. PR 'HERE are mighty few women who wouldn't be willing to do without a new dress or a trip if their husbands explained to them that the money was going into enlarging the business or an advertising campalgn or some develop- ment that would bring bigger results. What grouches a woman is just being told arbitrarily that she can't have this and she can’t have that with no reason given for her being deprived of it. Husbands are always complaining that their wives don't know how to handle money. Why should they when nobody has ever taught them how to do s0? That women have plenty of money sense is amply proved by the number of successful business women. So, son, if you want a thrifty and economical wife, teach your bride how to use money. Discuss business with her and take a real heart interest in the way she runs the house. You want a comfortable home and good food, for on these depend your health and your efficiency. A soggy breakfast of watery coffee and burnt toast and greasy fried eggs will put out the fire of genius in any man’s soul. A dinner of overdone meat and underdone potatoes and heavy bread will slow down any go-getter. A cluttered house with unswept floors and unmade beds will send any man away from home to some place of cleanliness. 8o, son, don't stand for bad housekeeping for a minute. Any woman who knows how to read can learn to be a good cook in three months. Any woman who isn’t a chronic invalid can run a vacuum cleaner. Don't pity your poor little bride when you find her in tears when you come home to dinner and there is nothing fit to eat on the table and tell her you will go out to a restaurant and that she shan't burn her pitty "ittle fingers on dat nassy old gas stove any more. Tell her to buck up and have some courage and grit about her and that you expect her to hold up her end of the partnership as well as you do yours. If a woman loves her husband she cannot endure for him to have a contempt for her, and if you make your wife feel that you consider her a quitter and yellow if she isn’t willing to make you a comfortable home you will galvanize her into action and make her get busy with the pots and pans. It is a man's own fault when his wife poisons him on her cooking and when he has to get up and get his own breakfast. He didn’'t train her right in the beginning and he didn't warn her that she would lose her job if she didn’t make good at it. s e e YOU want your wife to remain preity and attractive and easy on the eyes. Nothing disgusts you so much as a dirty, sloppy woman who slouches around the house in a solled wrapper with down-at-the-heel slippers and who doesn't bother even to comb her hair or wash the cold cream off her face when you are around. I know of one young bridegroom who taught his young wife a lesson she never forgot. The first time she came to the breakfast table looking like something the cat brought in instead of a lady love he got up and h,& the table and told her that he would not come back until she had properly dressed herself. Also, he informed her in no uncertain terms that if she expected to keep him she would have to ke=p on looking desirable to him. Many women degenerate into slovens at home because their husbands never pay them a compliment, so if you want your wife to doll up for you, never fail to comment on her appearance. Let her see that you notice every- thing she has on and she will be afraid not to make good. You don’t want to be one of those poor, downtrodden, worm-of-the dust husbands who sneak in their back doors after wiping their feet on the mat d whose wives walk in front and say: “Henry, sit there.” Or, “John, don't drive so fast,” and who wouldn't dare to tring company home to dinner or stay fdown town of a night. If you married an aggressive, domineering girl you are lost if you give in a single time to her during the honeymoon. Your salvation depends on your having enough backbone to stand up (oraflour liberty and make one desperate fight. 1If you give into her the first time she has hysterics you are a goner and may heaven help you. ‘These are only a few elementary suggestions about developing a wife, son. If men would only take as much trouble in training their wives as they do their stenographers there would be more efficient wives and more satisfied husbands. DOROTHY DIX.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO BY MEHRAN Americans are sometimes accused of being superficial. The Europeans love to remind us that we have not the patience to develop great scholars, | great artists and substantial manufac- tured products. It is true that our ready-made clothes shed their buttons at the slightest provocation. Children’s toys do well to survive the first day of use and abuse. The workmanship on our homes is not always a thing to brag of. One cause for superficiality is the pressure of mass production—in our educational system as well as in our industries. Numbers mean everything in most institutions. The rapid pace at which we live moreover, and the frequent change of styles in everything from coffee pots to college educations makes it inad- visable to build to last. Who wants his automobile to last forever? The man who drives last year's model car can lgprechte the feelings of his wife who is wearing last season’s hat. If Americans are more superficial than other people, and this is very much to be doubted, it is because they | are more extravagant, more active and live under greater pressure of ma- chinery and mass production. ‘The fact is that we are all super- | ficial to a degree. Why should we kill ourselves making a perfect job of the thousand and one things we are called upon to do each day? short, and there are many things to do and enjoy. ‘We actually can't afford the time nor the strength to be accurate and pains- taking in everything. If we should take our reading seriously, for example, and read the newspapers and magazines as carefully and thoroughly as we read our sclentific textbooks we would have little time for our specialties. Uncon- sclously we specialize and reserve our thoroughness for the one thing by which we earn our daily bread or the thing which is our hobby. It is not easy, however, to be careless 10 hours a day and extremely cautious and thorough even one hour—hence our ap- parent superficiality. Of course, the real reason why we am superficlal is that we are lazy. Wwu scratch the surface because it takes too much energy to go down deep either in plowing a fleld or reading a book. The moving pictures are cer- tainly a lot easler to look at than a Shakespearean play. After all, every person has just about 50 much time and energy.

Everyday Law Cases What Is a Stranger's Obligation to the Sick? BY THE COUNSELLOR. | After eating supper at the home of | Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, where he had gone to look at some cattle he desired to purchase, Frank Adams was taken sick. Though this was known by Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, they refused to per- mit him to remain overnight, and though he was unable to drive his horse and wagon, they put him on the team and started it off to his destina- tion. After going about half a mile Adams fell from the team, and lay in the snow that had been falling all night, to his injury. Adams later brought suit for damages against Mr. and Mrs. Johnson for their inhuman treatment. Answering the suit, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson admitted that they may have been inhuman but denied that there was any legal liability, as they owed Adams no duty to give him lodgings for the night. The court held that Mr. and Mrs. Johnson were. liable for their neglect, stating: “Where a person is by circumstances placed in such a position with regard | to another that every one of ordinary sense would recognize that he would cause danger or injury to the person or property of another, a duty arises to use_ordinary care and skill to aveld such danger. This applies with greater strictness toward persons under dis- ability.” Irish Copper Mines Opened.
