\ :imer suns robbed them of their pristine ‘color, WOMA N’S PAGE. Flower Trimming Is Revived BY MARY MARSHALL. Remember the flower garden hats that used to come into bloom about this time every year? Perhaps you are young, and if they are not part of your own experience you have no idea how eharming they were. To be sure they didn't always stay charming very long. showers had a way of making the yoses and poprles and buttercups and ragged sailors look bedraggled and Sum- 2 it while their freshness lasted possessed a charm that was all own. For several years there has been a it effort to revive flower trim- med hats and many of the milliners are ‘introducing flower trimming on the Spends No Money on Self. ‘The woman who never spends any simply saving money for others.

Just what does a woman save when she “never spends any.money on her- self”? Usually she saves nothing or pext to nothing..

Very cautiously, of course, but persistently enough to be significant. In th: meantime the dressmarkers have revived flower trimming in a more lavish manner. In Paris there has been a very definite trend back to the nat- uralistic type of flowers, and flower makers are again making use of silks and fine velvets to make flowers that look as much as ble like real roses and violets and llies. Today's sketches show two of the newest flower ornaments used on eve- ning dresses. One consists of a festoon of flowers draped from the left shoulder nearly to the waistline on the front of a simple evenlng dress. ‘The other con- sists of a wreath of roses placed low on the back of a black evening dress. You may buy wreaths and festoons of flow- ers specially designed for this purpose, or you may buy a number of separate sprays of flowers and make your own floral decoration. e Chicken Patties.

Lessons learned in pain are the ones mnot for- gotten. Lessons learned easily and pleasantly often are forgotten just &s gfl}h You'll find this true all through e. Hooty the Great Horned Owl and Mrs. Hooty are good providers for their family. Yes, sir, they are good pro- viders. They know that growing chil- dren must have plenty to eat and they make it their business to supply plenty even in times when food is scarce and hard to find. They are wonderful hunters, are Hooty and Mrs. Hooty, and they have the advantage of being able to see and hunt in both daylight and darkness. Being strong of wing they can cover a great deal of territory and their hunting grounds extend far in all ?zacuom when there are babies to So it was that often the young Owls in that nest that used to belong to Redshoulder the Hawk often had more than they could ‘eat. Their parents would leave what they brought, putting it on the edge of the nest where the youngsters could get it when they wanted it. Sometimes they would consequently requires but little to live, Eventually the fruit of her saving year! will pass to another, whose only virtue has been patience in waiting for the windfall. Our advice to every woman is to spend, especially where spending will make life a bit more comfortable, a bit more colorful and a bit more zestful. There are many ways to save, several of which have been mentioned here from time to time, but none of them re- quires a pinched or starved life. ‘The woman who avoids spending money on herself, so that she may die rich, or so that another may spend what rightfully belongs to her, or simply be- thrift has gotten the better of her and cl to hoarding, deserves our pity and is entitled to bend a little on the side of indulgence. One extreme is no better than another. OW latest scientific experi- ments prove that Kleenex, used instead of handkerchiefs, is the safe way'to care for colds. - Ordinary handker- chiefs used during colds were tested in laboratories and found to contain as many as 4,170,000 disease germs —over 200,000 when used a single time. *This means that when you use handkerchiefs for colds you actually protect these germs in your pocket or hand- . bag—and then carry them back to your face!

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Is a Man Queer If He Judges a Girl’s Qualifica- tions for Wifehood by Her Parents? DEAR MISS DIX—I am just.a young chap finding out that love is a beautiful thing and I love to be in love, but I fear I am too particular with whom I fall in Jove. I have found girl after girl whom I thought I loved until I met her parents. Then like & flash I was disillusioned. Do a girl's parents and ‘home life mean so much in finding the right girl? Should I ask myself “Would I marry this gir] if I could” about every girl I meet? Is this condition of mine common to all young men, or am I just peculiar? SOPHOMORE. Answer—T should say that you are pecularily intelligent about the way you girls. Let us hope that you will continue that way and that some pretty little flapper will not roll a pair of blue eyes at you and run you crazy. Certainly a boy cannot be too particular about the girl with whom he falis in love, for whether he marries her or not, she influences his whole after-life. If she is fine and noble and a girl of high ideals, she will raise him up td her level and he will be a better man becaus he has known her. If she is in- telligent, she will inspire him to study and read and improve himself. If she is ambitious, she will spur him on to make an effort to achieve things and be somebody. If a boy- falls in love with a girl who is mean and little and catty, who is & Mar and deceitful and a gold digger, she will make him as sordid as herself and tarnish his every ideal. He will always have a contempt for,women because of what she is. Let a boy fall in love with an ignorant, illiterate girl and he loses interest in improving his mind. Let him fall in love with a wild girl who only ‘wants to make whoopee all the time, and he will soon slow down in his work and get into debt and start on the downgrade to failure instead of on the upgrade to success. If he loves the gir] well enough to marry her, it is even more important that she be the right sort, for nine times out of 10 a man’s wife either makes him or mars . There are very few men who do not succeed if they marry good wives, and there are still fewer men who do not fail if thty get bad wives. Certainly you show wisdom beyond your years when you take a girl’s parents and her home background into consideration before you fall in love with her. 'For what a girl’s father and mother are, are not only what she is almost sure to be, but it is what your children will be. Every girl is heredity plus environ- ment. Both conspire to make her what she is, so take a good long look at Sally’s mother before you decide to tie up with Sally for life. . Reflect that Sally not only inherited a lot of mother’s qualities, but that mother has formed her opinions and her ideals. If mother has henpecked Sally’s father to death and never shown him any consideration or appreciation, the chances are If Sally’s mother is a wasteful, extravagant_housekeeper who has never learned how to cook or keep anything in place or have a meal on time, Sally is likely to consider it a waste :Inume to sweep under the beds or spend a couple of hours cooking a decent ner. If Sally’s mother is devoted to Sally’s father and Mfem him and makes much of him, Sally will grow up with the idea in her head that a husband is a little tin god and not just a meal ticket. And if Sally’s mother is a fine cook and manager, Sally will have grown up in the belief that a woman is a failure unless she is a good housekeeper, and that cooking is a fine art. Of course, now and then there are girls who regard their mothers’ way of doing things as an awful warning instead of an example to be followed, but as a general thing a girl does the way that mother does and follows the habits that have been fixed in her in infancy, so it is best to be on the safe side and pick out a girl who has a mother and a home that jibe with your taste. As for asking yourself whether you would marry this or that girl if you could, that is a question that all young people put to themselves during the mat- ing time of life’ They are always in search of the incomparable He or She. ‘They are always hunting for some one on whom to bestow their love, and as each new figure appears on the horizon they wonder if this is the ONE. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1931.) Yowler discovered that nest. He at once sneaked into @ thicket of young hemlock trees and there hid to await the coming of the Black Shadows, for the deed he was preparing to do was a deed of darkness. From his hiding- place he could watch that nest high up in a big maple. There were no branches for some distance above the ground, but Yowler knew he could climb it, and his mouth watered as he dreamed of the feast he would have once he got up there. At last it was dusk. He saw Hooty fly off in one direction and Mxs. Hooty fly off in another direction. The time had come. Sneaking out of the thicket he ran swiftly to the foot of the tree. For a moment he crouched there glaring up. Then he sprang and dug his claws into the bark of that tree and began to |could stand it no more and simply scramble up. As he neared the nest | dropped.

It was a threatening sound, (Copyright, 1931.) but Yowler didn’t mind it in the least. It rather. amused him. He was almost tbere now. He could smell the un- eaten food on the edge of the nest and this added to his eagerness. And then something struck him so hard that he was almost knocked from the tree. At the same time he felt several sharp pains that made him cry out. Before he fully understood what had happened he was struck from the other side, and great claws tore his coat and scratched deep gashes in his face. Snarling, spitting, Yowler tried to strike back with one claw-tipped paw while he clung to the trunk of the tree with the other. The best he could do was to rake out a few feathers. Huge wings pounded him and great claws tore his coat. He was too high up to down as fast as he could. Half way he let go and jump. He began to back | ha Milady Beautiful BY LOIS LEEDS.
