Almost every day some young woman wishes to know whether her fiance's salary of $25, or $50, or $100 a week is sufficient to get married on. The very fact that some girls are no more cer- tain about marrying on $100 a week than others are about $25 shows the disparity among scales of living. No salary can be arbitrarily decided upon as being amply sufficient for all the needs of marriage. When a young woman is accustomed to living at a rate of $35 a week and a young man is accustomed to having his $50 a week all to himself, marrying on his salary is not as easy as less fortunate young peo- ple might think. Almost every marriage demands sac- rifices of both wife and hurband. If they are unwilling to make them they cannot get married on his salary, what- | ever its amount. It is not the amount of his salary that matters most. It is their willingness to get along on it that counts. It is undeniably true that a salary of $25 a week or less will hardly suffice to obtain the bare necessaries of a pres- | ent-day marriage. No matter how one motif in each alternate corner. On red covers use black suits, clubs and spades, and position them also in altes nate corners. Make four black finger- doilies, with red card motifs in corners, and four red ones with black motifs. nclude a case to match to hold double decks of cards for each table scheme. There are five pleces in each card set, cover, four finger-doilies, and a case for decks. Two or four of these sets are needed for a party set. Cross-stiich and filet inserted sets are given further novelty touchcs by em- broidering a border in fancy Russian| stitch. Position this work above a hem, or filet crochet edge. Russian stitch is another name for herringbone stitch. The fancy note is made by interlacing a | contrasting color about the herringbone | to make straight stitches over the| crosses. Use black over red Russian stitch and red over hlack. Applique motifs can be turned in and blind stitched to covers, napkins and cases of linen or cotton goods. If enamel cloth is the foundation textile, the dull finish only should be used. The motifs can be cut from the contrasting color of enamel cloth and then glued in position. There can be no napkins to match enamel sets. (Copyright, 1931.) By Thornton W. Burgess. clared. “We'll move in at once.

They| wanted to get as much done as possible | before the return of the Yellow Wings, because they knew that when the lat- ter did return there was likely to be trouble, which would sadly interfere with pest buflding for a while.

But in their eagerness to get that nest well | started before they were interrupted in their work, both went hunting for ma- terial. Of course, ‘the instant they came in sight of that telegraph pole they rea! ized their mistake. There was Yellow Wing clinging to the pole just below the doorway, and there was the head of Mrs. Yellow Wing thrust out of the lat- ter. Instantly Speckles dropped the | grass he was carrying. Mrs. Speckles did likewise, and without a moment of hesitation they flew to attack Yellow Wing. He dug his claws into the pole nd drew back his head, ready to strike | as- soon as they were near enough Meanwhile, Mrs..

(Copyright, 1931) Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED, Babies who drink little or no water are legion. With the fixed idea that bables must have water to drink, moth- ers often insist upon administering it, whether or no. No drastic efforts need be made to make babies swallow water. They have a wonderful faculty for de- ciding when they do and when they do not need a thing. The underfed baby will swallow pints of water, his poor, famished system de- manding something, if not food, then water. The overfed baby is indifferent or actually antagonistic to water, the | probable reason being that his fluid | needs are supplied by his ample milk | diet. Both cow’s milk and mother's | milk are about 87 per cent water. ‘The information about water drink- ing is an answer to only one of a num- ber of questions asked by Mrs. A. She begins: “My baby weighed 71, pounds at birth and now at 71z months weighs 20 pounds. “1. Is the baby's welght correct? “2. My baby refuses water at any | temperature, whether in glass, spoon or | bottle. Must he have water? | “3.

I felt very much ashamed of doing this because I rcull{ didn’t get enough to eat, and I couldn't afford it, but when I think back to it I'm not ashamed any more. I realize it was as necessary to have something beautiful and something charming occasionally as it was to have enough to eat. The places where we ate every day were noisy and ugly. The office, too, was ugly, noisy and confused. I have always been extravagant, and I grant you that to pay one-twelfth of my salary for a plate of soup and some bread and butter sandwiches sounds preposterous. But that isn't what I was paying for. I was paying for beauty, calm, peace. I always felt better in spirit for several days. Most girls have done things like that. We must have more than material things to live on. We must have some beauty. Next time you are a little extravagant about some insubstantial thing that gives you pleasure don’t reproach your- self too much. After all, you don’t want to be on the ground ali the time. You must fly sometimes, no matter what it costs. Girls havine problems in connection with their work may write to Miss Woodward. in care of this paper, for her personal advice. (Copyright, 1931.)

I don't hold with this | belief, and neither do my betters in | botany, but there is a little wocdland flower of this family, a rare flower that blooms on the islands in the Potomac, which is so primitive, so almost un- fiowerlike as to look like one of nature's first crude attempts at making a flower. This is the blue cohosh (ugly name; I prefer the Latin “Caulophyllum”), and a strange gnome of a biossom it is. But it has a neighbor—a close of kin, called twin-leaf, which also is rare and confined to the islands of the Potomac —that is more like our notion of & flower, with its regular, long white pet- als. There are eight of them, whicl an unusual number for most flowers. Twin-leaf, too, is in bloom now, and the Philadelphia botanist Barton, when he gave it a Latin name dedicated it to the immortal Thomas ‘Jefferson; hence it is called “Jeffersonia.” Nature apparently now tried once more and made another of our Spring flowers that far surpassed her earlier efforts in the barberry family. The May- apple, known as mandrake (though it has nothing to do with the mandragora that European witch doctors dealt in), 1s as fine a blossom as you could want to see, even though it hides its waxy white petals under its stately leaves. To | eat its roots is instantly to regret one’s | imprudence, but though this is well | known, there are fewer persons who know that the fruits are delicious, either in_jellies or for eating out of hand. Unlike that of most of our wild edi- ble fruits in America, the taste is acidu- |ious without being acid: hence it has |the fine, refreshing sprightliness of a ! Black Twig apple or a tangerine. Whiten Teeth 3 Shades in 3 Days 'OBODY likes to look at teeth that are dull, dingy, yellow, discolored or eaten away by decay. there’s now no reason why you should have such teeth. They're unnatural, And the new scientific Kolynos Dry-Brush Technique proves they’re unnatural —by removing stain and yellow, and ‘making teeth gleaming white. o “Try this technique for a few days . .. A half-inch of Kolynos on a dry brush, morning and night. You'll note an improvement after the first brush- ing. Your mouth will feel cleaner than ever. And in just 3 days teeth will look whiter—fully 3 shades whiter. Gums will feel firmer and look health- ier. All because Kolynos does what no ordinary_toothpaste can do—it kills the millions of germs that cause most tooth and gum troubles. And cleans teeth as they should be cleaned—RIGHT DOWN TO THE BEAUTIFUL NAKED WHITE EN- AMEL WITHOUT INJURY. Kolynos is unique—unlike anything you've ever used. The very moment it enters the mouth it FOAMS, thus permitting the use of a dry brush which makes Kolynos 10 times more effective. This penetrating FOAM gets into and cleans out every tiny pit, fissure and crevice. It erases tartar and yel- Iov'v—washes away the unsightly mu- coid coating. It kills the millions of germs that swarm into the mouth with every breath and attack teeth ard gums—kills 190 million in the first 15 seconds. Easily and quickly this remarkable Kolynos FOAM cleans teeth gleaming white and keeps them sound. It stimu- lates gums and keeps the breath sweet and fresh. If you really want sound, dazzling white teeth and firm, coral pink gums, try this way. You'll be glad that you did. Buy a tube of Kolvnos from any druggist today. 7 TOLMANLAUNDRY £. W.
