He was pleased to have the appointment, as Roy's estate was large and the com- missions to which he would be entitled by statute for his services were sure to amount to an attractive figure. A read- ing of the will, however, disclosed that the executor was to receive $500 for his services in lieu of all statutory com- missions. Hays qualified as executor and ad- ministered the estate. When he was ready to make a distribution of the assets, however, Hays asked the court to allow him to take the statutory com- missions, which amounted to $2,800, in« stead of the amount designated in the wiil. He contended that the provision limiting his compensation was invalid as the statute which governed executors’ comrgusions would be thereby contra- vened. The court refused to allow Hays to obtain the statutory rate, stating: “If & will provides a sum less than the statutory compensation, the executor has his choice of refusing the appoint- ment or accepting it on the terms fixed A person mite understand the victory of mind over matter if she had any looks | that were visible to the naked eye, but its quite the contrary with her.

She feels it her duty to sacrifice pur happi- ness to him, but if left to herself she would unhesitatingly choose love to fame. Am 1 selfish to want her to marry me? What do you think of our ition ? WORRI LOVER. Answer: If you are going to put off marriage until after your sweetheart takes a college course and then achieves fame and fortune in a career, you will r]l;ba?lyn:lohble to the altar on crutches and mumble your response through alse teeth. For a girl cannot make a career for herself as she can run up a one-plece dress on the sewing machine in half an hour. It takes years and years and years of hard work, and patient waiting and striving to achieve éven the most modest of careers. Nor can a girl go out and pick up & crown of fame at & halo shop around the corner as easily as she can a new hat. The famous have | bought their laurel wreaths with a lifetime of sacrifice and service and toil. Every now and then we hear of quick successes, of some one who has leaped into prominence in a single days, some one who has written & book, or painted a picture, or built a bridge, of interpreted some role superbly in a play, and whose name is suddenly on every lip. But if you will notice these new darlings of the gods are rarely young, and if they are they are those who began working in their very childhood. Back of them are years of hard work in which they learned craftsmanship; years of barnstorming; years of toiling over blue prinis and bossing gangs of laborers; years of painting pictures that wouldn’t sell; years of thumping out stories on a typewriter that no editor would publish. Even Lindbergh, the most spec- tacular of young successes, had done stunt flying in circuses and carried the air mail for a long time before he winged his way across the Atlantic. It takes time, son, lots of time, to make a career. Look how long it takes a doctor or a lawyer to get anywhere. Look how long it takes a business man to get where he will be elected a director in a bank, or head of the Rotary Club. And it takes talent as well as time and industry, to enable any one to make a name, especially for a woman. There used to be a time when women were regarded in the same light as dancing dogs. They got the spotlight on everything they did outside of the home, not because it was a meritorious performance, but because it was remark- able that they did it at all. ‘Then any woman could get on the first page with her picture as the lady longshoreman, or the lady realtor, or the lady buyer, but now all of that is changed. Women are doing everything that men do and their work is judged like mte‘n'n work and they have to show speed and class if they get so much as a mention. Therefore, unless your girl friend has shown unmistakable earmarks of genius, if she waits to marry until she has made a name for herself, the | chances are that she will finish her days in the spinsters’ retreat. But if she wants a career, what is the matter with the career of wife and mother? That is woman’s ancient and honcrable calling, and in following it she will find not only her greatest reward, but scope for all of the energy and intelligence and ambition that she possesses. You don't say in what line your sweetheart proposes to achieve fame. ‘Whether she intends to be a lawyer or a doctor or a diplomat or a politician or a banker or teacher or a preacher or whatnot, but whatever her gifts she will need them all in making a home and rearing a family. And suppose_she does achieve fame by the time she is old and love has passed her by? What is writing a novel that is a six-best seller compared to living & romance? What is painting a beautiful picture, or modeling an ex- quisite statue compared to having children whose flesh tints no artist could portray and whose dimpled limbs defy the sculptors’ art? What is decorat! & hotel compared to turning a box of a house into &4 home? What is the g}) hand lox’ ?tne public compared to the clinging hands that love you and hold you close 80, Anxious Lover, I should advise you to persuade your girl that she had better espouse you instead of a career and that she had better set the wedding day soon instead of waiting for 30 or 40 years to_make a name_ for herself. Which she might not do l!u.\‘ l.ll.. DOROTHY DIX. DIAH DOKOTHY DIX: I know & man who is good and kind and a splendid | provider for his family. His table literally groans under the good food.| yet his table manners are so horrible that instead of enjoying a meal it is an | ordeal to his wife and children. He gulps his coffee, he mops his plate. He chews with his mouth wide open so you can hear him in the next room. And all of this mortifies his family so that they never invite a guest to the house His wife has corrected him not once, but a hundred times, until he himself says that it has m almost unbearable. She has appealed to his self-respect, the reputation of family, but all to no avall. What can she do? x. | Answer: T should say the best thlnmw do_would be to let the poor man alone and to stop badgering him about his table manners. Probably he has, been nagged about them until he has got his back up, and is determined to eat as he pleases, just to show that he won't be henpecked and chickenpecked Eating with his knife and sopping his gravy is a gesture of deflance and a proc- lamation of personal liberty. | Therefore, if the wife will drop her crticisms and let her husband think that she has given up the fight, the chances are that he will profit by some of the corrections that he has heard a million times and modify his faults at the | table. But if he doesn't, why not thlst accept the inevitable and try to make | the best of the situation instead of tting morbid over it? After all, bad table manners are not a capital sin. They may get on your | nerves, but they don’t break your heart. It isn’t as bad to have a husband who ubl;lu ‘llfls food as it is to have one who doesn’t provide any food at all for amily. H It isn't so bad to have s husband who gulps his coffee as it is to have one who is always finding fault with it and wondering why you can't make a| decent cup. It isn't so bad to have a husband whom you can hear eat as it is to have one who is buying eats for flappers. Don't let your husband’s manner of eating wreck your home. Good man- | ners and good principles are more important than table etiquette. | But what a lesson this story should teach mothers about the importance of teaching children how to eat properly, for we are judged qxgflnur table 1 DOROTHY DIX.
