WOMAN'S PAGE. Make Effort to Enjoy Routine BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. * It 1s important to take life easy. This @pes not mean being lazy. Not at all. It means to take advantage of what you . have in such a way that mental friction i ’:l uc‘ud Some pemn'.:‘ have houses every modern equipment, every l‘hm--vlgl device, but they do not take ment advantage of them, only | these persons above all of learned to take life easy. ; | interfere with having & wel | | for stress is put on enjc: 8s they come, sometimes of their work, sometimes by so adjust- ing their tasks that time is secured for leisure or pleasure at what may seem to be odd times. This group is small, but they have abundant life. Here in America as in no other con- tinent are contrivances multiplied and installed in homes for saving work. Yet withal there is no country where the pace of life is swifter, where lack cf time for taking one's ease is more sorely felt. I remember hearing & man say, “In the work by the mental thereby. These wom- en it themselves to take life easy, to the extent of their power. However, this group is small. There is still another group who have no devices to save work, and yet seem to have as much time as if they had. ;:1- ease the routine of relaxation afforded make life easy, and no time to enjoy the | lelsure. Here in England we have fewer | labor-saving devices but we know hcw to enjoy life. If only you could have our habit of tiking life easy plus your equipments, what a wonderful place it | would be in which t5 live. Most persons can take life easier than and a mental adjustment to leisurely ways. 'This will probably mean more concentration while one is working. The work flies under deft fingers.

And when you realize that only 1 per cent of the 200,000 species are our foes, you begin to think the entomologists are right when they say: “The insects and bugs will take possession i we don't watch out.” Among the insects are those that are friends and even asscts, as, for example, the honey bee. She supplies us with & pure food and her wax is a source of income to us. Then the bumble bee, with his long tongue in the clover field, and without him there would be no clover. Tannic acid from gall insects, which is used for tanning hides, and for the manufacture of inks and dyes. Cochineal and crimson lake are pig- ments made from the dried bodies of | a blister beetle. Without the insects as marriage priests, we would not have fruit, vege- | table or flower. In the tropics the great firefly s used | as a flashlight. The ldies fasten them | to their great toes and the light guides them as they waik through the forcsts. The lady-bird beetle is our most de- ndab'e friend. Whenever another mported enemy appears and gets & headway, off we go to find just the right lady-bird beetle for the job. So far she has never failed us. Take the beautiful dragon fly. She has been given a bad name. ~People | fear her, and insist a snake is about | and. she’ is there for the purpose of | rendering assistance to him. This is another myth, dying hard. searching here and there for our dreaded mosquito and always gets him. She has been known to cat 40 big green | fies in a few seconds and was willing | to consume more. | “The silk-worm moth is another friend. | Her product is & source of revenue. Be- | sides, she eats the leaf of the tree which we provide for her and does not go | about destroying other trees. Then along come the insects which prey upon our most destructive enemies, like the Japanese beet’e. A tiny fly has come over to our rescue. She perches | upon the beetle's back and glues an egg there. Pretty soon it hatches and eats into the vitals of the beetle Many beetles clear our fields of refuse, and grubs kill off the too numerous in= habitants of the underground world. The song of the cricket is a welcome addition to the sounds about us, and without the juicy grublet, some of the mlgn beautiful song birds could not get along. ‘When you come to sum up the record of our foes, things look pretty black. Six million ear for the peagh horer. The Mediterrancan fly cost slightly over $40,000,000 in less than two years. The boll weevil is our million-dollar insect. The gorn ear worm, whose mother is a moth, is a foe who can fy for long distances, thereby scattering her family. She devours the juicy sweet corn and In fact, she is a close second to the boll weevil for the cotton bolls. Tha Colorado beetle demands $6 an acre of spray-gun material alone, to fight him. Even stored grain has its | hordes of hungry insects and worms, waiting to fatten up on the results of our labor, It is well known that the insects cost us one day of our wages each week. Working in an office, shop or field to feed and clothe insects and bugs does not seem a very cheerful outiook to those of us who look longingly out of a hot office window and know that the value of our envelope for that day is not ours.

New York Ciry She is | D, O, PFRIDAY, MOODFETHSE MOMENT PAR ST [Ifify nady blue ftrjz sl scarf pulled and a similar scarf New Solution to_Divorce Problem |DorothyDix| [HE newspapers have recently told the story of s man who got & divorce from his wife and immediately hired her as s cook. Thus stmply was solved two of the great problems of divorce—how the wqman shall support herself and how the man will get his food prepared the way he likes it and his buttons sewed on, No doubt this arrangement furnishes a succulent morsel of gossip which the neighborhood in which this couple lives is rolling o tongue, for the traditional attitude of a divorced husband and held to be one of bitter hatred and rancor and re . The correct UaUsST etiquette of the occasion is supposed to be for them to fly as far from each other as is possible and to iy heaven that he or she may never set eyes again on the villain who wrecked his or her happiness, IN actuality few divorced couples feel any animosity toward each other. Often they like each other and appreciate each other’s good qualities far more after they are separated than they did while they were living together. They would even like to be friends, except that public opinion forces them into & pose of enmity. For Mrs. Grundy would raise her eyebrows in horror if Mary Jones was seen having a pleasant conversa- tion with her former husband, Sam Snooks, and the sewing society would call an extra session to discuss the matter if Sam Snooks took his ex-wife, Mary Jones, out to dinner and the theater. Yet all that was the matter with Mary Jones and Sam Snooks was that they were not congenial and didn’t suit each ether and couldn't hit it off together. Each likes the other enormously as & friend, but not as a husband or wife, and if that relatiopship could be eliminated they could get along peacefully and amiably enough and even enjoy each other. HAT seems {0 be chiefly the matter with marriage is the sense of possession it gives so many p«?le and the right to tyrannize over the K-ny of the other part that they feel that it confers upon them. That is why most husbands and wives treat each other with a lack of politeness and consideration that they show to no other human being on earth, and say things to each other that they would never dream of saying to any one else. To the outside world they are suave, courteous, tactful, blarneying, but at home they are rude, iil-tempered and tell each other home truths with a brutal disregard of each other’s feelings, ‘There is ufiaobt quite so pathetic as the fact that the average ‘husband and wife nothing of each other except to be treated as well as he or she would if he or she were a perfect stranger. John Jones would go about beaf upon the cymbals and calling upon heaven to witness the success of marriage if he had & wife who never nagged him, who never reminded him of his faults, who recognized that an adult male who is capable of running a business and supporting a family is entitled to & little personal liberty, and who nimbly side-stepped the topics that were as a red rag t6 a mad bull to him, who dolled hereself up for him and made a conscious effort to keep him entertained and amused and who jollied him along. MARY JONES would be supremely happy if she had a husband who noticed what she had on and told her ‘hat she got Fretflel’ every year, who complimented her good dinners and praised her for her thrift, who took her out to places of amusement now and then without having to be badgered into it, who handed her out his best line of conversation of an even| instead of grunting at her when she spoke, and who gen- g"lgrm feel that it was a pleasure and an honor to be married . It is because husbands and wives think that ma e gives them some inexplicable right to be mean and hateful to each other that mar- riage is 50 often a failure. For it is only husbands and wives who feel that they do not have to bother to keep each other placated. DOROTHY DIX.
