F course, there are men who are just born spenders and who let money slip through their fingers like water through a sieve. They are the ones who are always standing treat in every crowd, who lend money to every deadbeat and who subscribe to every sort of fund to buy flowers for the office boy or make & present to the boss or whatnot. even when their grocery bills are unpaid and their children lacking Such men as these should certainly turn over their money to their wives Generally speaking, with men of average intelligence and with an average close grip on their dollars, I think it is a mistake for a man to turn over everything he makes to his wife, just as T think it is a mistake for a woman to turn over all of her property. when she has any, to her husband. ' Because there is nothing that gives peopls poise and dignity and self-respect so much as financial independence does. Somehow, just to know that we have money in our pockets and especially to know that e have a little money in the bank gives us a moral support that nothing else does. A SIRLOIN Tommy is whistlin’ fer me, Nippy is chman, ~ERTAINLY no man has a right to keep all that he makes for himself, because his wife by her labor in the home earns a part of his income just as much as he does. Every family fortune is built up on the wife’s work and thrift as it is on the husband's, and in common justice she is entitled to her share to be given her as an allowance, not handed out as a dole.

A great yellow pumpkin, carrots with their feathery green fo- liage, deep red beets, white turnips purple tipped, etc, are colorful veg- etables, while rosy apples, bananas, or- enges and grapes vie with them. A bowl of assorted nuts accompanied by raisins can complete the array. All but the vegetables can furnish part of the refreshments, for each season is represented in them, as they have been in the decorations. In the refreshments, three seasons can be featured on the table, with this fourth onme of fruits, nuts and raisins served from the table just described.

Unfortunately none of us have the ability to discover the real reasons why we think, feel and behave as we do. Fortunately psychology, as a science of human life, has progressed to the point where it can with some certainty ex- | plain human behavior. Psychologists talk about “patterns.” They have found g few which appear to be native or inbdrn. All individuals set out on life’s highway with the same equipment. This equipment of patterns consists in being unhappy when we are hungry, angry when something blocks our movements, afrald when we find ourselves alone.

Answer—It Is necessary to wash oily hair at least once a week and the dandruff needs special treatment be- fore and after the shampoo. The main thing to do is to build up your health in general and give your hair and scalp a series of antiseptic treatments so that you will have no need to be ashamed of your hair in the office. First be sure that your comb and brush are clean. At bedtime comb and brush your hair for several minutes. Divide it into strands and apply the following scalp lotion: Two ounces witch haze 2 ounces cologne water, 1 ounce aico- hol, 30 grains resorcin, 1 teaspoonful boric acid. Shake well. Apply the lo- | tion with a ped of clean absorbent cot- THEM WITH Chestnut F minutes, It will not show on your hair, In the morning brush your hair and then cover your hairbrush with a pieca of muslin and brush it until it is fuffy. Repeat the treatment every other night and wash your hair once a week with a mild liquid soap shampoo. There are several available on the market. Be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly. A bath spray is useful as it reaches every bath spray is useful, as it reaches every to wash your hair and to rinse it slso. Give your hair and scalp an air and sun bath every day or as often as pos- sible. If you use the above treatment two or three times a week together with the weekly shampoo it should keep your hair in a manageable condi- tion. " Watch for my talk on this sub- Ject. LOIS LEEDS.
