RACCOON. lustrations by Mary Foley. LONG a muddy path in the early Spring you will find a tiny foot- print which is for all the world like a baby's bare foot. Mr. and Mrs. Raccoon have been strolling about to see how close the warm days might be, and after satis- fying themselves they returned to their Cozy one-room apartment in the hollow | tree and decided to take one more | snooze before the real Spring weather arrived. ‘Along about April or May from three to six baby raccoons are born. The father is a most devoted parent, and forages for food for his wife and chil- dren. Should danger threaten his fam- ily he will lead his enemies from his home and will expose himself to dan- er in ofder to keep the trespasser from osing interest in hi ‘The babies are blind at first and very . They cry and whimper like little babies, and the parents hasten to soothe them and quiet their fears The home is near the water, to be close to the base of supplies. The raccoon is a clever fisher and sits close to the edge of the water. He catches | the fish with his hands. Snakes and | crawfish are delicacies which he craves Turtle eggs and chickens are of great importance to him as food. When once he has raided a hen house there is only one way to keep him from knocking at | the chicken house door. |~ Whether free or in captivity he can- | not be induced to eat a piece of meat | without washing it.

D person know that he or she has met Don't the most loving and attentive just the very opposite after they are Do you believe in finding a husband or wife through advertising? Have there beer. any happy marriages made in this way? Answer—There is no such thing as an ideal husband or wife. PUZZLED. None comes up to the romantic specifications that boys and girls formulate in their imaginations. Every man and woman is human, with human faults and frailties and weaknesses, and we have to take them on that basis. The Teason there are so many disgruntled married people is because they ex- pected the impossible of their mates, and when they found they were tied to just ordinary men and women they considered that they had somehow been stung. ’I‘HERE is no infallible way by which you can tell on the safe side of the altar just what sort of husband or wife & man or woman will make, because after marriage both men and women abandon the tactics of courtship. They no longer strut their stuff and exhibit the airs and graces that they used to capture the fancy of their mates. They no longer flatter and cajole each other and sing their love songs to each other. This is inevitable, because after marriage they settle down to the business of life. They don’t have to be always telling each other about how much they love, because they have proved their affection by entering into a life partnership. many Nor do they have time to show each other so little attentions, because the man is showing his big attention by working for his wife, and she is showing hers by making him a happy home. T seems to me that the only sure thing people can find out about each other hefore marriage is whether can absolutely determine upon. You they are congenial or not. may not be able to tell whether a boy will be a perpetual lover, or whether a girl will be as meek and mild and as anxious to please her husband as she is her sweetheart, but you can find out about their tastes and their habits and their point of view. Don't be foolish enough to marry a man through advertising for & husband you have known for years, think of one you had never seen. If you can’t judge what sort of husband a man will make whom the risk you would take in marrying DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1932.) SCREEN ODDITIES BY CAPT. ROSCOE FAUCETT.

How can I darken them? (2) How can I get rid of a lot of pimples on my face? IR. Answer—(1) One must be careful in using of cosmetics or dyes for lashes to avoid getting any into the | eyes themselves. When mascara is used a little olive oil or cold cream should be applied first to prevent the little hairs from becoming_ brittle. At bed- | time the color must be thoroughly re- moved with oll or cream before the face is washed. Stains for darkening the eyelashes and eyebrows are pro- curable through any beauty salon. (2) By being careful of your diet, avoiding constipation and cleansing your skin thoroughly at bedtime you | can do much to clear your complexion. | Be sure to include prenty of fresh fruits, salads and succulent vegetables | in your daily diet.

Next she was taken to task for using hangings or overdraperies of glazed chintz in a living room. Her critic said | that only damask was correct. Here is Nancy's answer: | “A living room in the average home | of today gets much use. It is not like | éhe parlor or drawing room of bygone | ays. “Fomilies play games, read papers while sprawled in easy chairs, listen | to the radlo, show affection one for an- other, quarrel among themselves.

I belong in your living room. You | may put damasks and silks and reps in the dining rcom, because dining |rooms are formalized in furniture. | Eating is not a pretty performance at | best. When folks become civilized they ! realize that and see the necessity of decking it out in the trappings of for- mality to dignify it.

ONE decided advantage in having Secretary Stimson head the Amer- ican delegation to the Geneva Dis- armament Conference is that he will rank with any of the other delegates. Rank and per- sonai importance will count for a lot at Geneve. Premiers and for- eign ministers will be there in abun- dance heading their delegations. Stimson, by vir- tue of being dean of the President's cabinet and Secre- tary of State as well, will be on an equal footing with them all. It may Hoover was moved originally to ap- poirit Dawes to the N Post because he was a former Vice President. He would have had a spe- cial rank that neither his Ambassador- ship nor other honors would have given him. Secretary Stimson perhaps would | have been named in the first place had it not been that both he and the Pres| dent thought it better for him to re- main at home and attend to pressing affairs. Disarmament, and the Geneva Con- ference in particular, lies very close to Stimson's heart. He has been tireless in his efforts to make the conference a success. That, was the reason he made a trip to Europe last Summer. He was anx- fous to sound out the various European statesmen on the question of disarma- ment and lay the groundwork for the | Geneva Conference. He didn't have much opportunity President Hoover’s ns and it became necessary for him to hustle to Paris and aid in the negotia- tions. Tt must have been & keen disappoint- | ment to him, for he had practically no he had hoped to do. Next to President Hoover himself, Stimson probably feels mors keenly on the question of disarmament than any other high American official. His presence at Geneva will doubt- less be one of the greatest encourage- ments to the success of the conference. ‘There is another man destined to play an important part at Geneva, even though h: is not included in the five official delegates. He is Hugh Wilson, the bald, blond-mustached American Minister to Switzerland. Wilson is rated by many as second only to Hugh Gibson, “America’'s Am- basador at large,” in his knowledge of armaments and international confer- ences. He has participated in no fewer than 10 such affairs, ranging from confer- ences on counterfeiting to armamen since 1927. He is regarded as one of the ablest of the country’s diplomats. Wilson’s service at Geneva during the last five years and his knowledge of the layout will make him a valuable man in the coming conference.
