It is easy to state in a general way the essentials. The household linens comprise the chief articles that go into & hope chest, although any articles that are laid away for the bride's home are eligible for contents also. Because a hope chest is such a convenient container for trous- , these are often con- fused with the correct contents. There are two separate groups of articles, .h::!'ler\—n:lmely, hollwehold linens, etc., personal apparel.

Esther M.—There is always some pos- sibility of bruising when you squeeze out a black head even though you use one of the small mechanical instru- ments for it. These bruises often become scars that remain for months. With the slower method of using cleansing cream, scrubbing with warm water and soap, ‘and taking full hot baths all over daily to keep the skin active, you will be sure that you are advancing toward a cleared skin and without any scars to deal with later. QALWAYS FRESH “I wouldn't care if ebrybody spoke to me if they would 'member my name an’ not call me ‘little Girl’ an’ ‘Sister’ an’ other names.” (Copyright, 1930.) POLITICAL WA ‘When Grimes became a candidate for coroner his neighbors knew he was a good and worthy skate, and yet they said, “He will not do.” They knew his character was fine, his record was of high renown, as coroner he'd surely shine, and yet the neighbors turned him down. They said, “We fear his tariff views are radical and quite un- sound. If such officials we should choose all sorts of evils would abound. The immigration question, too, is far beyond his ken and scope; he'd bring an_ Asiatic crew to ruin the Pacific Sldpe. His sympathies are with the rich, with people loaded down with dimes; the poor man, digging in & ditch, would get small service from old Grimes.” I tried at times to make it clear that all such spiels were sophis- tries, for coroners don’t have to steer the ship of state through stormy seas. If Grimes, I said, should ask for work as farm hand or at sawing wood men, once convinced he was no shirk, would say, “Get busy and make good.” They would not ask about his stand on Muscle Shoals or Teapot Dome;. just o he plied a willing hand they'd: him bring the bacon home. If hé should wish to earn 10 cents at baling hay, none would inquire about his views on armaments; he'd just get busy and per- spire. I say to them in thunder tones, “There's just one question worth our while: Can Grimes sit on a heap of bones and hold an inquest with a smile? If he can pull that stunt, by jings, it matters not how he may stand on Leagues of Nations or such things, on taxes in a foreign land.” But sense and logic cut no grass in politics, as all men know. The sage’s words are ding brass, as idle as the winds that blow. WALT MASON. (Copyright, 1930.) o In a recent month 12 tons of freight were carried by air from the Nether- lands to London.

DEAR Miss Dix—When Bud and I were married two years ago we went to live with his family because we did not have enough money to set up for our- selves. But now Bud has a steady job and we have saved up some money, and I am determined to go to housekeeping, but Bud doesn’t want to do it. His mother is the finest and most likable woman I know. If she hadn’'t been we would have been actually fighting I ago, but you know two women tan't live together all of the time and get along well, and now his sister, who is a school teacher, is coming home to live, and I it is time for us to get out, don’t you? NORMA. Answer—It certainly is, Norma. If, as has been said, no house has ever been built big enough to house two women in peace, be sure that three women would scrap like the Kilkenny cats if they lived together in an apartment with 2,000 rooms. - So follow your hunch and go while the going is , while you are still on amiable terms with your mother-in-law and you and your sister-in-law have had no words between you. Thus shall you always maintain a pleasant relation- ship with your husband’s family. The reason most In-laws get on each other’s nerves is because they see each other too often. It takes distance to give them a perspective on each other's virtues. I am strong, as I have said a thousand times before, for every young married couple setting up their own home, no matter if it is just in one room and all the furniture is bought on the installment plan. I think that it binds them together as nothing else does, that it enormously increases their chances of making a success out of marriage, that it gives them a purpose in life and makes them a better man and woman and better citizens, and that it is the one greatest single factor in their happiness. There are endless reasons why it is best that every young husband and wife should build their own nest. One is that if they are alone durm%the period of adjustment they are much more apt to agree and compfomise differences than they are if there is an outsider around. Of course they are going to have their little quarrels, because no two persons of different sexes, with different character- istics and reared in a different environment, are going to have the same tastes, habits and points of view on the same thing. But when they spat if nobody is around they will kiss and make it up and no harm will be done. But far different is the situation if the family is standing around on the sideline cheering on the combatants, and telling May not to be bossed, and urging John to assert himself as the head of the house. Many a tiff that wouldghave ended in a burst of tears on Mary’s part and John calling himself a brute into an estrangement that ends in divorce simply because Mary and John quar- reled in public and their pride forbade a public apology. Then a husband and wife who live alone are thrown on each other for society and amusement and grow' much closer together than those who live among other people and are always in a group. All the little intimacy, the talk- ing of everything over is done away with when there are other people around. A man who doesn’t provide his wife with a home of her own that will keep her busy keeping it, adorning it, planning for it, has taken the surest way of wrecking his marriage. . . And a home is a good financial investment because it makes & young couple save money to pay for their furniture, and that leads them to saving money to pay for the home itself. It is a common saying, and a true one, that if you never go to housekeeping you never have anything, because the temptation to spend on foolishness is greater than most people can resist. They have to have & definite object for which to save. And furthermore, there is no greater fun than there is in establishing a home. The man who misses that has missed the thrill m"l')(,)ol;.‘o'“' bu';gc- time. in a lifetime. (Copyright, 1) f HaAF tinted any color, quickl; and easily.

It may be that the reason why you sometimes feel so weary at the end of a day of housewifely duties is that all day long you have been doing things the hardest way. There are some women who have a knack of doing things the simplest, easiest way, thus expending less strength and nervous force than the rest of us. Let's hope that you are one of these fortunate ones. Suppose, for instance, the screw top of a glass jar or bottle sticks and it is necsssary to open the jar or bottle at once. You need the contents for the next meal. You try and try, but don’t succeed. You try to loosen it by applying hot cloths. You are so exasperated that you are tempted to smash the bottle. If, however, you re- member that a plece of sandpaper solves just such problems, and if you have the plece of sandpaper, then you need have had no difficulty. Just hold the sandpaper in the hand when you try to unscrew the cover and you can get the necessary grip. If a glass stopper sticks, try dropping & little oil around the stopper and then | slowly warm the glass bottle. A good way to warm it is to place it on a bread board in the oven—a very mod- erate oven—and let it heat there a few minutes. When it is warm, tap the neck first on one side and then on the other and the stopper will soon come ut.
