WOMAN’S PAGE. Good Effects From Kindly Deeds BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. When a kindly act or a gracious courtesy has been done, it must be followed up with the same friendliness or the good effect is spoiled. All of us are familiar with the story of the cow DOING THE DISHES FOR SOME ONE WHO IS TIRED IS A WELCOME that gave full pails of milk and then proceeded to kick them over. She was fine up to a certain point and then she counteracted the whole thing by her foolish action. Persons have to be care- ful not to be equally unwise. Let us take an example from home lfe. Some member of the family offers to do the dishes after dinner and thereby relieve the one whose task it otherwise would be. Such a kindness is often as welcome as something more pretentious in the way of help. Then during the evening the one who did the kindness may casually mention that she had intended to go somewhere that very evening, but it was too late when the dishes were done. Presto! the milk of human kindness is spilt! A person cannot feel happy in mind after being the cause of a pleasure missed through her, and without a contented mind hap- piness is impossible, or at least impaired. A person who offers to do a kindness should be Wfllfl{ to see it through to the finish. Half-hearted help is poor help. Regrets expressed after a good deed is done can cause unhappiness enough to spoil the good results. This LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE. Pop was smoking and thinking in his private chair and ma sed, Willyum, you wont bleeve it when I tell you, but the baby axually started to tawk today. Meening my sister Gladdises baby ony 3 id without even any name yet, and pop sed, Your rite, I wont bleeve it. Well just & same its true, because we tried him time after time and he :geeud the same werd every time, ma What werd was that? pop sed, and ma sed, Gog. Yee gods, how has that been a werd? pop sed, and ma sed, Its a werd in baby language, and its the principle of a thing that matters, rather than cold meeningless facks. The first time he sed it I admit I thawt it mite be gurelv axsidental, and so did Gladdis, ut then we delibritly tested him, and every time we sed, Say gog, baby, say 80g, he opened his little mouth and sed gog just as planely as Im saying it this minnit to you, ma sed. Thats pritty planely, I admit, pop sed. I dident realize you could say it that planely, he sed, and ma sed, Of corse he sed it in a rather low tone of voice, but thats proberly a simptom that he's going to speek in a soft culti- vated manner when he reely aquires the full use of werds. We tested him for fully 10 minnits and he never failed us, in fact we tired before he did. I never herd of such an instance of the wer of concentration for a child of weeks, she sed. Why dident you try him out on some other werds, such as ook and ick? pop sed, and ma sed, The ideer, do you think we wunted to give the infant brane fever? Well then why give it to me, yee gods, excuse me while I seek a change of scene, pop sed.

A woman expresses a wish to_have the club meet at her house. The president or chairman of the entertainment committee is de- | lighted and mentions same special date when it would fit in with her plans. The ‘woman expresses perfept willingness to take the meeting at that time, and then, when it is too late to change, she casually mentions the work it means and the trouble it involves. Such com- ments make all who hear them, or of them, miserable. The doing of a kindly thing must be accompanied and followed by the same spirit as the deed itself expresses. Keep silent and do your part if you have been unwise in attempting too much Do not rush into a thing that you will immediately wish you hadn’t under- taken. But once having offered to do a good deed, or after actually accomplish- ing it, let the full benefit accrue. Don't | rob the deed of its good results. (Copyright, 1930.)

Most reduc- ing diets do not contain a sufficient amount of roughage. The result is constipation—thief of both health and beauty. Kelloxfi'a ALL-BRAN is recom- mended by many doctors and die- titians because it contains the bulk necessary to insure proper elimina- tion. Also, because it contains the iron needed to help prevent anemia— another danger in reducing diets, ALL-BRAN is not fattening.

SUB ROSA BY MDMIL It's all right to go on in high gear if you're sure you can make the grade. We can be in high feather if we are sure we know how to alight Then we can reach up after the high notes if we are sure our vocal chords can find them. But there are advantages nearer the earth. The fact of the matter is that we are neither birds nor worms. If we give up the idea of soaring, we needn't think we have to go grubbing and run the risk of getting stuck in the mud. There’s a certain level we can find, & certain pace we can set and then step on the gas. One of our high jinks hits us in the heels, which are now higher than ever. We love the sensation of loftiness and like the arch look which the forward tilt of the pump gives to the brow. No one wants to scuffie around in sandals and make folks think one has fallen arches. We want to be up and on our toes. But the disadvantage of the stilt heel is the unsteadiness which it pro- duces. We look all right when we stand still or sit down, for the three-inch pedestal is quite an adornment, but when we move about we tend to lose grace, and without grace beauty is a cripple. Don’t let your heels make you wabble as though you had wooden legs. Another one of these doubtful heights is that of high color. We want to make a good impression, especially when so many other girls are dolled up like Cleopatra and the Queen of Sheba, but we make a mistake when we imagine that we can get such morning glory at a drug store. ‘The schoolgirl complexion isn't on the market. It's out in the open, in the air and sunshine. We can't smear it on, but we may be able to coax it out. Real complexion is an interfor decora- tlon. It’s in your stomach and heart. You get it by means of food and ex- ercise and sleep. A lemon tan do more for you than a lipstick. But the worst high jinks comes from the high life. They say, you know, that early to bed and early to rise means that you won’t meet But does that m le” are the ones who keep late hours e night watchmen? T don’t think. When a party keeps you away from & pillow, it's turning a Girl Scout into a paper doll. When you'd rather dance than eat, you have the wrong number. You are making your nerves work over-' time without extra pay. Your color is from excitement, not health. ‘The tired-out girl has rings under her eyes that no drug store can remove. She wants to give her snooze, that's all. 8| has a blase look, she has missed the point in life, for 20 is not supposed to look like 40. Such a girl with the jaded face really looks like 60. Fashions of Today BY MARIE SHALMAR. The woman in a red dress is like the woman with red hair. There is a certain attracting power in the very brilliance of the color. It has been sald that red-haired women are attractive to men for two reasons. Pirst, because the red-haired type of woman usually possesses an_ardent, energetic, or ani- mated nature, and also because the mere brilllance of her coloring apart from her disposition attracks. So if your coloring will permit, and you wish to be attractive, do not scorn the red, rose or flame-colored frock. ‘Women of good taste usually do not want to attract attention in street or business clothes. But in their own homes and at purely social gatherings to be attractive usually is to give others pleasure and to enjoy yourself. Remember, too, that even if red does not especially become your complexion, it may be used to advantage in a bit of trimming, so long as the line of red ghn:s!knot come in juxtaposition with 1) Instead of wallpaper- buy Farbo Water Paint.

Even experience counts for nothing in it, fores three-times widower is just as likely to be a bad picker as a boy. ‘You cannot say “do this” or “do that” in marriage and you will make a success of it, or “choose this one” or “that one” and you will be happy. For to every rule for attaining connubial bliss there are a million exceptions. You simply pay your money for your wedding ring and take your chances. There are, however, certain signs and pertents that will tip a man off to the kind of wife a girl is likely to make, and wise is the youth who heeds them. The first and most important of these is the girl's mother, and canny and forward-looking is the youth who gives that lady the once over before he pops the question to Arabella. For in 99 cases out of 100 what mother is at middle age Arabella will be at 45. The way mother keeps house will be the way Arabella ps house. Mother's attitude toward domesticity will be Arabella’s way of looking at family life. And, above all, the way mother treats father will be the way Arabella will treat her husband. e FOR in the case of a girl and her mother both heredity and environment have a chance to do their perfect work. Mother not only probably trans- mitted to Arabella the Jones temper or the Smith amiability, but hers was the hand that molded the plastic character of the baby girl into the shape that it would carry through life. Hers was the influence that formed the ideals that were to guide Arabella and make her a blessing or a curse to her husband. So it will pay any young man who is casting a favorable eye upon a pretty young girl to get acquainted with her mother before he commits himself. If he finds that mother is intelligent and wide awake and broad-minded and tolerant in her views and an interesting companion to spend an evening with, then he may safely go forward and tie up with Arabella for life. For the odds are that Arabella will have plenty of sense and that she has been accus- tomed from her infancy up to reading and keeping up with all that is filnl on in the world, and to according every one the privilege of his own opinion without argument or discussion. But if, on the other hand, mother is narrow and cocksure that she is always right and her way is the only way, and if she is dull and stupid and boring to talk to, then a man takes a foolhardy risk if he espouses Arabella. For she is almost sure to be a dead ringer to mother and make one of the petty tyrants who henpeck their husbands to extinction and with whom one cannot differ on the slightest point without starting something. Same way about housekeeping. Like mother, like daughter. 1If mother is a thrifty manager and a crackerjack housekeeper, then daughter is pretty sure to know how to run a house on a schedule and how to feed her hus- band and children properly. She has been brought up in an atmosphere of orderliness and neatness and she cannot sit down in comfort in an untidy room. Also she has been taught how to cook and she regards cooking as an art instead of looking upon it as A.drzxdger!. BUT if a girl has been brought up in a slovenly house where nobody ever sweeps under the beds, or washes a dish until it is needed, where meals are never on time, where money is wasted and half of father's income goes into the garbage can, then she is very likely to keep the same sort of house that mother did simply because she has learned idle and wasteful and untidy habits in her childhood. And observe closely mother’s attitude toward her husband, son. If mother is solicitous of his comfort; if she caters to his little whims; if she is com- panionable with him; if she shows him in a thousand ways that she loves him and appreciates him, then grab Arabella and rush with het to the nearest parson. 8he will be like mother, a wife whose is above rubles. For mother’s example has taught her how to treat a husband. Never hesitate to marry a girl whose father looks happy and jolly and contented around home. But beware of marrying a girl whose father is a meek, suppressed, down- trodden man who sneaks about his own house with an apologetic air and who goes shabby while his wife and the girls are dressed like Solomon in all his glory. Mother has regarded her husband as nothi but a slave to work and earn money for her, and so will Arabella regard you if you marry her. There is only one exception to this rule of judging a girl by her mother and that is when the daughter disapproves so much of her mother that she swings to the opposite extremes. Sometimes the daughter of a shrew is so dis- gusted with the spectacle that her mother makes of herself in her rages that she acquires an iron self-control. Sometimes a girl who has been brought up in a quarrelsome home, where every word was a fighting word, never permits an a ent in her home. Sometimes a girl is so repelled by her mother’s slovenly housekeeping that she becomes a model of order and neatness. Often a girl is so filled with pity for the way her mother treats her father that she spolls her husband to death. DOROTHY DIX.

Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Investments may pay one greater re- turns than the average savings account, but every one ees that a cash bal- ance in the b is & necessity. The question arises in every woman’s life, sooner or later, how much money shall I keep on deposit in my savings ac- count? Two facts should be consid- ered in deciding that question. First of all, if one is likely to have any pressing need of cash for any rea- son she should have enough of a bank account to meet it. While stocks and bonds are usually marketable, there may be an unfavorable market for them. In that case & woman would have to make a needless sacrifice of money to realize cash. She might bor- row money, it is true, but then she would also realize money at a loss, a loss of 6 per cent. After deciding what cash is neces- sary to meet any pressing n-ed, every woman should have a cash balance at the savings bank equal to ten times her allowance of her salary per week. That ratio is given as a flexible rule, but it will apply to most women. By main- taining that fixed balance at the bank, and leaving it untouched, most women will find their cash needs well pro- vided for. One might ask, Doesn’t one woman have just as much need of cash as er cash needs will be in her standards of living and her means. A woman with a salary or allowance of $25 a week is not likely to feel as great a need of cash as the woman with a weekly income of $75. In practice the rule will erally work _itself out n?.lsm:wrfl':l ‘The woman with the greater income is more apt to accumulate greater liabilities than the woman with the smaller in- come. She may need cash for install- ments on articles which the other woman could not consider purchasing. Her purchasing power is greater, but her credit is likewise, and there is more likelihood that her bills will be larger. That ten-times-your-income rule for cash on hand is a convenient one through life. As cash reserves accu- mulate they may be put into more lucrative investments. Also as one's income increases she may find that her cash needs will never exceed a certal limit, and that the ten-times-your-in- come rule may be modified. Women with incomes up to $100, and even more, & week, may follow the rule with profit and safety. It is a positive as- surance against the most embarrassin, need that any woman can feel. a million housewives AGREE YOU sometimes hear that some other loafis “as good as Bond Bread.” When people want to speak in the highest terms of anything, they say that “it is as good as gold.” Of course, it isnbt as good as gold unless it is gold, and no bread can be as good as Bond Bread unlessitis Bond Bread.
