The truth is precisely the other way. Says Paul: “We look not at the shings which are seen, but at things which are not seen; for the things which are Seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” The unseen is the real. Behind all visible objects, and gi them their reality, is the unchangeable God. But it is only by the exercise of a vigorous faith “that we are able to realize this fact.

NANCY PAGE Joan Gets Five Wishes On Fifth Birthday. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. On the evening before Joan's birth- g:} Aunt Nancy had a long talk with old. Iam geing to give you five wishes. You can make them wishes for food, or clothes, or games, or storles, or any- thing you want, and if I can possibly do it, I will see that you get all five of those wishes. Think about them before you go to sleep and be ready to tell me about them tomorrow morning when you get up. Bright and early Joan had her wishes ready. “I wish for a birthday cake. I wish for a new story book about prin- cesses. I wish for a string of L E wish to stay up all day without any nap. And I wish—I wish for a letter from my mamm Aunt Nancy was interested to see that all the wishes concerned the child her- self, but she felt that it was only nat- ural and human. ‘The birthday cake was already baked and ornamented with five candles. The new story book with princesses was one of the set of standard fairy story collec- tions. Aunt Nancy had no beads for the child, so she asked Peter to get a of pretty ones for Joan. He wanted to get a pearl to add to her necklace. Aunt.Nancy said that was fine, but that in addition there should something more showy—something shinler that a girl would iove. That left the package from mother and the day without a nap as the un- filled wishes. Sure enough, the ex- pressman delivered a large and bulky paroel. At breakfast Aunt Nancy had five small griddle cakes for Joan. It was the custom in the family to serve as many dle cakes as one was years old. Tfl:g pleased Joan. Food Problems BY SALLY MONROE.

That is an alibi that a lot of bachelors offer for shying at the altar, but when you put it to the test you can shoot holes all through it. There are & lot of reasons why men don’t marry, but not one of them is because they can’t ‘women like their mothers, and, as & matter of fact, the modern man would no more be satisfled with his mother's type of wife than he would with an automobile of the vintage of 1822. The mother complex that so many men have is very beautiful and touch- ing, but this attributing all of the virtues to the women of the past is just part of the sentimental stuff that makes us idealize the good old times, and the old home of our childhood, and feel that they were far superior to any- thing in the present. But in reality we wouldn't go back to them if we could, and if we dldw;e would find out that grandma had just as much nerves and lhmw and was no better cook than Maud is, just as we would find out that the good old times had just the same defects as our own, and that the old home wasn't half as comfortable to live in as our new bungalow, or steam-heated apartment, PRI T are the qualifications of & good wife? Judge the modern woman by every one of them, and see how well she measures up with the women of the past. Pirst is love. A woman marrying & man with no thought of gain, but sim- ply and solely because she cares enough for him to dare life at his side and fight the battle shoulder to shoulder with him. More women do that today than ever did before in the whole history of the world. No man can be so sure that the woman he takes for a wife is marrying him for himself alone as can the modern man, because practically every girl now can make as good or a better living for herself than the average young man can offer her, and she can do it at easier labor than housework. Grandma had to marry whether she loved a man or not, because a hus- was her only meal ticket and card of admission into society, but the mod- ern girl can earn her own bread and butter and go where she pleases. So she doesn't have to marry until she finds some man for whom she cares enough to sacrifice her pay envelope and her personal freedom. ‘The next qualification of & good wife is for her to be a helpmate. All honor to our pioneer grandmothers who, turning their backs upon civilization, helped their husbands win the wilderness, who trekked across the continent in ox carts, who fought Indians and planted gardens, who bore children far from any medical ald, who endured hardships and loneliness and grinding toil. No one would dim the luster of their glory, but their granddaughters are worthy of their ancestry. They have the same spirit, and are cast in the same heroic mold. Only, other-times, other manners. The modern woman helps her husband in modern ways. Every day you see girls leaving their homes and families and assoclations to go with their husbands to the far places of the earth, where business opportunities take them. Talk to any self-made man who has achieved » spectacular success, and he will tell you of a wife who has worked her fingers to the bone, and pinched and economized to help him get a start. And every- where you see hundreds and hundreds of women who after marriage keep on with their jobs, and not only bake bread such as mother used to make, but make the dough as father used to make it. THE next qualification of a good wife is making a comfortable home. Of course, science and mechanics have come to the ald of the woman, just as they have to the man, but compa its_electric lights, its electric refrigeration, its telephone and telegraph radio, its bath rooms, with the home grandpa had. Why, people of modest means are more comfortably housed now than millionaires were a couple of generations ago. Perhaps the modern woman doesn't spend as much time in the kitchen making ples and cakes and puddings as grandmother did, but she feeds her family far better because she sees to it that they have balanced meals with the proper vitamins, and she is not turning out a race of dyspeptics as the woman of the P.st 5 And, finally, strange as it may seem to say it, the modern woman takes her job of wife and mother far more seriously, and tries much harder to be a good wife than the woman of the past did. When grandma got married she knew she was married for keeps, and she sat down and let nature take its course, and she got fat - skinny, :ge kept bright or got dull, she entertained andpa or bored him, as it happened. ¥ Bp:t the modefn woman i1s an her tiptoes to maintain a girlish figure and be peppy and keep her husband interest amused.

AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN. “Jane's man is the kind that's forever talkin' about how he'd run the kitchen, but she was an old maid when she got him an’ couldn't expect much.” FEATURES MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. Keeping Young. Many a woman still in her late 30s has looked into the glass and been quite dismayed at the reflection which greets her there. She may be startled to discover that time is leaving its mark on her face and that youth and beauty seem to have departed before she has even realized it. For a few days or probably weeks she may try desperately to erase the little lines left by the years, to freshen the sallow complexion or bring back the luster to her hair, but when the results are not immediate, perhaps, she becomes weary in well doing and settles down to accept the fact: “Well, I am getting old and what's the use of all this fussing? Beauty be- longs to youth, anyway.” But deep down in the heart of every woman this admission hurts, and, fortunately, it is not true. There is a beauty of childhood, of adolescence, of early womanhood, of full-blown maturity and of the ripening years, The most pleasing example of each of these life periods is so by reason of the charms peculiar to that age. There is something uncanny, or at least odd, in a child with an old face and manners or in a woman in her 50s with the dress and the prattle of a flapper. Beauty, as I have said before, is a matter of har- monious ensemble rather than a per- fection of this or that physical char- acteristic. During the Springtime of life beauty is on the surface—in rosy cheeks and girlish beauty—but as the years pass it should sink into one’s character and flower again in middle life as personal magnetism, built upon sweetness, wis- dom and unselfishness. But if the seed of youthful beauty is smothered by worry, ill temper, dissatisfaction and neglect it soon dies and leaves the face sad, sagged and old. When the years have had the oppor- tunity of leaving their stamp of char- acter in the face and when the eyes have become deep pools of thought, beauty means so much more than it possibly could in earlier years. If we were automatons, with no psychological side to our nature, external means, such as fresh paint, olling and polishing, would keep us looking fit. But we aren’t. Our mental make-up is the big- gest part of us. Many girls—and women, too—forget this and try tq decorate the outside and leave the mind and soul covered with cobwebs, ‘The mind controls, consciously or un- consciously, all of our bodily processes, so that when destructife and negative moods are permitted our internal organs and the rest of our bodies suffer. Ex- ternal beauty aids alone cannot counter- act the harmful effect of letting our nerves and negative emotions run away with us.. And there is no use under the sun in wasting time on merely local treatments unless they are supple- mented by a bright, happy mental atti- tude that keeps the facial muscles and expression from drooping, and by good general health, insured by a periodic physical examination by & physician. After these requirements are met it is time for local beauty alds such as creams, lotions and correct local treat- ments, etc. So the secret of keeping young is My Neighbor Says: To make shoes waterproof melt together two parts of beeswax and one part of mutten fat. Apply a very thin coating of this while hot to the leather with a small brush. Give shoes two coats and set them aside for a few hours to dry. If too much salt has been add- ed to soup, slice a raw potato and boil it in the soup for a few min-| utes. The potato will absorb much of the salt.

The number of years a woman has lived does not matter 50 much nowadays as it used to do, nor does it limit her ex- pression of youthfulness. Physical poise, mental alertness, suppleness and grace are the basis of a youthful and beautiful appearance. Any one can ac- quire and keep these qualities if she will give a few minutes daily to exer- cise, both mental and physical. Health, of course, is essential as well as a well balanced mind. Most women age pre~ maturely because they do not give their minds and bodies intelligent care, I consider it very much to the credit of any woman of 45 or 55 if she can pass for 35 or 40 because she possesses supple, graceful figure, a pretty com- plexion and glossy, abundant hair, (Copyright, 1930.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Trends in Criminology. From a legal standpoint crime is an offense against society, in consequence of the existence of law. From a psychological standpoint crime is the maladjustment of an in- dividual to society in consequence of the existence of a temporary or perma- nent abnormal state of mind on the part of the perpetrator. ‘The truth about what is called crime, and about what to do with so-called criminals in the future, is pretty likely to be some compromise between these two points of view. The writer does not dare an opinion. We are in a period of transition on. the whole question just now. What will be the outcome, no one can say. In an account that purports to be the opinion an ex-criminal I find the fol- lowing: “If I had anything to do with changing the laws, any man who had to be confined to prison for more than eight years would be imprisoned for the rest of his life. That would be a great step in the prevention of crime.” This argument seems to favor the stand taken by the psychologists. However all this may be, Prussia as a representative of a settled common- wealth and Mexico as a representative of a revolutionary commonwealth have as a result of their own separate ex- periences, decided in favor of the psy- chological point of view. Two coun= tries, almost as far apart as the antip- opes, have hit upon what ht from present trends be called the erence between law on the one hand and psy- chology on the other, in the tion oé':nminnls and the punishment of crime. Out of it all one gathers that a crim- inal is a sick person. ‘You can never tell how long an aile ing person must remain in the hospital. That's up to the physician in charge. Likewise you cannot tell how long & criminal should remain in a peniten- tiary. That's up to a criminal board in Prussia and Mexico. — The Ranee of Pudukota, widow of the Rajah of Pudukota. who before her marriage was Miss Esme Fink of Mel- bourne, Australia, recently lost a $33,- 000 pear]l necklace while shopping in London, not far from the apartment from which $25,000 worth of her jewels were stolen in 1921.
