WOMAN'S PAGE. THE EVENING STAR., WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1930. Learn to Save for Sunny Future BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. A young couple should learn to “save|as you would put aside for the rainy | for a rainy day,” as the adage tersely |days of misfortune. The money wiil| and picturesquely puts it, but they |accumulate in the bank as securely and ould also learn not to live continually | as thriftily if put there with a light| in the rain. There is such a thing as heart full of the idea of sunshine in| planning se thoroughly for the day|the future as if the pleasure of accu- | mulation were dirhmed by any slight | idea of disaster ahead. Once the money-saving habit is es- tablished. the bank account will grow Then, whether it is called upon for joys and comforts in later years, or has to be used to tide over ‘a period when an income is lessencd, or there 1s more demand upon the purse through | necessity or illness, the sum stands in readiness to ease the mind from worry and to pay the bills. It will be seen that so far as tbe money is concerned, money is saved for a rainy day or for future comforts But the result upon the persons sav- | g is totally different. In one instance m, trouble and misfortune are the incentives for saving. In the other, comfort, ease and pleasures to be en- | joyed are in mental anticipation. The attitude one assumes toward a matter sets a stamp upon one's character. So release the thought of rainy-day saving and substitute sunshine saving. Look into the future not with apprehension, but with happiness. Door That Was Closed. A mystery that doth perplex In'like degree may often vex Mother West Wind. | 1 Impy the black Chipmunk paused at | | the entrance to his own home. He | dreaded going down there; he dreaded | | what he might find inside. Had he ‘nnl seen Shadow the Weasel sitting right there by that doorway and licking his lips? That Shadow had been inside there wasn't the least doubt. So Impy dreaded to go inside. | “I'll never go in here again after this time,” said Impy to himself. “I'll dig myself a ncw home. That's what I'll do—TI'll rig myself a new home. This one wouldn't be saf: and certainly I could never be happy here. I never | could be happy here without Prisky.” | Impy hesitated for a few minutes | | longer and then he went in. His heart | beat very fast as he hurried down the | tong *hail straight to the bed room of which he had been so proud. His nose | | told him that Shadow the Weasel had | been there before him. Straight to the | | bed room Impy hurried. It was there | he expected to find all that was left of | little Mrs. Impy. The bed room was | empty. That is, it was empty of every- | | thing_but the bed. Yes, sir, the b@d{ was all that Impy could find in that bed room. Impy didn’t know whether to feel sad or glad. Could it be that Shadow had eaten her and left nothing? He | couldn’t believe that. | | " Impy turned and hurrled_along the | hall to the first storercom. He stopped | | to look in there. Pretty little Mrs. Impy wasn't there. Impy hurried | ? | along to the second storeroom. The BE BANKED SHOULD SUGGEST |fore continuing his search. Somehow, | | hope.

They live in their own world. Wheén we break into their scheme we interrupt things, and all interruption is painful and un- pleasant. No echild likés to be inter- rupted. 'All children must be inter- rupted at one time or another. “Bert, come now and get ready for Junch. “In & minute, mother.” A minute passes and others with it, and still Bert plays on, with never a thought of the cooling Junch.

He is called to do this or that necessary errand or keep an appointment. It is time to go for & music lesson; time to get ready for bed; time to start for school; the procrasti- nator continues to go his own way. “By and by, mother; by and by.

He | would look in there before going out. | So Impy checked himself and went back | to visit the third storeroom. Apparently, there wasn’t any third storeroom. There | were only two open doorways and those led to the storerooms he had_already visited. Impy was puszled. Yes, sir, homes and wives and children. | STRAIGHT TO THE BED ROOM: IMPY HURRIED. he was puzzled. He stopped to scratch his nose. Somehow scratching his nose helped him to think better. But all the nose-scratching and all the thinking in the world wouldn't supply & doorway where none was. Impy was the most puzzled Chipmunk you could imagine. Now he had not only lost Mrs. Impy but he had lost a storeroom as well. You see, it didn’t occur to Impy that | some one might have closed the door to | that extra storeroom: No, sir, he didn't | once think of that. He quite forgot that | it was possible to‘close a door. You | see, in his short life he had never had | occasion to close a_door. But, oh, how puzsled he was! In| trying to find out what had become of | his lost storercom he almost forgot | about Mrs..Impy. Yes, sir, he did so. And it was all because of a closed door, Baked Squash.

You see all about men and women who are wrecking their health and shortening their lives by overwork and overplay. They go the pace that kills. The men are at their offices early and late. They take no vacations. They never rest They never relax. They have no time for -pleasure. No time even for their You see women who are making nervous wrecks of themselves over their housekeeping, and who are so peevish and fretful that | their huskands and children flee from their immaculate homes as from a pest house. You see other wemen who have a rendezvous with the undertaker that they are hurrying to keep while they are sprinting from club to club, and bridge party to bridge party, and tea to tea. Are vou one of these work-mad who are hurrying to their latter end, or to you take warning by their examples and slow down and take things easier? You know men and women who are such bores that people flee from them at sight, shrieking in horror, because they are egotists who hold up the unfor- tunate individual who falls into their clutches and discourse by the hour, about their personal affairs. You know men who tell you how great and wonderful they are, and what marvelous automobiles they have, and every detail of their business affairs, and how they put over a deal, and what they said to the boss and the boss said to them. You know women who monopolize every conversation with a monologue about their children.: They tell you the smart thing that the baby said and did; about what a genius Tom is and about John's playing on the foot ball team, and Sammy'’s school report; about Sally’s beaux and how many millionaires she could marry and all about Lucy having her hair bobbed and Maud having her adenoids out. And you know people who enjoy poor health and who tell you of their every symptom and what this doctcr said and that doctor said, and other people who have had operations and whose conversation ever after sounds like a report of a clinic. Are these people a perpetual warning to you to put on the soft pedal ‘when vou are tempted to talk about yourself and your belongings, or do you delude yourself into the belief that every one is waiting with belated breath to hear you blow your own horn? Do you believe that your children are so peculiarly gifted that the general public longs to listen to their infantile bonmots and to learn all the thrilling details of their hobbledehoy schooldays? All of us know husbands and wives who stage their fights in public and who seem to wait for an audience before which to tell each other of their faults and shortcomings. All of us have stood helplessly by slain with embarrassment, while husbands told their wives to shut up, they didn't know what they were talking about, or jeered at their wives for telling an old story, or raised ructions about the size of & bill. And all of us have endured the agony of automobile rides in which the wife was a back-seat chauffeur who kept up a running fire of directions to her husband to go faster or go slower, or to watch out for the traffic cop, or the woman crossing the street, or not to go so near the edge of the Toad. And we have gone out to restaurants with married couples when the wife berated the husband for the table he selected, or the dinner not being good, or the waiters’ service being poor, and we have been at the theater with husbands and wives when the wife pulled off a far more hair-raising scene with her husband than was done on the stage. Do you force your innocent friends to assist at your family massacres, or have you enough decency and good taste to wait until you are in the privacy of your own home, with the doors shut and the keyhole stopped up before you indulge in your domestic rows? All of us know men and women who are killing the love of their wives and husbands by their neglect, by their coldness and their selfishness. We can see them paving the way to the divorce courts and laying the ax to the foundations | of their homes, This is Mr. A, who married a beautiful and attractive girl of an ultra- feminine type, one of the sensitive clinging women to whom love and tenderness are as essential as the air she breathes, but A. is absorbed in his business and his golf and he feels that he does his full duty to his wife when he feeds and clothes her and provides her with a home. He never pays her a compliment, or tells her that he loves her, or shows her any attention, and we wonder that he hasn’t enough intelligence to see that she has quit weeping over his neglect and is beginning % solace herself with the attentions of other men. ‘There is Mrs. B., who thinks that matrimony gives a woman the right to slump and that it isn’t worth while trying to vamp & man any longer after you have caught him. She has let herself get fat and frumpy and dull and unin- teresting. There is never a meal in her house that isn't first aid to the coroner, and all the conversation her husband gets at home is peevish, fretful, whining and complaining about how bad the children are and why doesn’t he make more_money. “Experience is a hard school,” said wise Benjamin Franklin, “but fools will learn in no other.” DOROTHY DIX.
