WEET forget-me-nots, that bloom for happy lovers,” have ‘very doleful legends written about them. One of them is that the flower got its name when a lover, gathering some of the blossoms for his sweet- heart along the banks of a pool, fell in. As he was sinking into the deep water, he threw the bouquet he had gathered to the bank, and called, “for- get me not.” Ever after, the flowers have had this name. Eurcpe and Asia are the birthplace of these flowers, but since their com- ing to America, the range has grown wider and wider, and now you may I pick these lovely biue-faced children from Newfoundland to New Jersey and southward. ‘The favorite haunts are moist places in meadows, woodland, or along the edges of a stream. Blue being the Dorothy Dix Says EAL love is never free. It is the most monopolistic thing on earth. Not only are we not willing to divide it with any one else. but it becomes degraded in our sight if even the smallest part is given to another. Nobody can imagine a woman who loved her husband viewing with sympathetic interest his impassioned love affafr with another woman. Nor can one picture a man who loved his wife, contentedly and philosophically waiting for her to return to him after a trip with a handsome stranger, No. Whatever the secret of how to be happy though married, it does not consist in flirtatiousness. No one wants a part-time wife or husband. No does any one want a husband or wife who keeps one guessing. What one wants is certainly, not suspense, in marriage; a husband or wife who is as stable as the Rock of Gibraltar, in whose unchanging affegtions one can rest secure, and in whose fidelity and Jdoyalty one can trust. & As FOR the complaint that what people mostly resent in marriage is the sense of bondage, why, that is what they marry for. They desire that bound feeling. They want to feel that they are bound to somebody and some one is bound to them, that they are responsible for some one and some one has responsibilities to them, that there is some one whose interest and wellbeing are bound up in theirs, whose very name is theirs, favorite color of bees, there are many of them that hover over the flower when she is in bloom, from May until June. She is, as you know, an open-faced flower, and her five blue petals contrast well with the golden center or eye. This rim of yellow serves as a guide to the nectar well, and also protects the sweet from being diluted with rain or dew. The insect guest may thrust her | tongue into the nectary at any point in the golden-circle rim, and reach into | the flowing goblet beneath. In doing so, her tongue touches a pollen-laden anther, and leaves with it some of the precious dust she collected at her last {port of call. If insect guests fail to {call in time, which may occur if a rainy season comes along, then the flower sheds her own pollen on her stigmas. The stem is low, and branching and hairy. The leaves are oblong and al- ternate, and are seated on the stem. The fruit or seeds are nutlets angled and keeled on the inner side. You may plant them in a moist place in your garden, and have a small clump each year, a bright spot of blue in a dark, shadowy niche. The forget-me-not is called ;n She It gives them the warm, safe feeling of a shut-in room, where one settles down and is at rest instead of wandering without purpose through a night of storm. Unless we are bound to some one, we are as forlorn as masterless dogs. And that is why most people are happier married than they are single, even though they fail to get their ideal mates. Better a hard master than none at sll. THERE has long been a romantic superstition that the quickest way to kill love is to put the chain of marriage around it. Never was there a greater fallacy, as is amply proved by the fact that liaisons rarely last more than a few months, while millions of marriages endure tor 40 or 50 years. So short-lived is the usual free-love union that the very few that have survived the acid test of living together have been rare enough to be immortalized in song and story. There are many reasons why marriage is a bulwark of love instead of its destroyer. One is that nothing unites people like a mutual inter- est, and a husband and wife who must rise or fall together and whose prosperity depends upon each other and whose chiidren make an addi- tional tie have the strongest of all possible bonds between them. TB’EN. too, they have the sense of finality to keep them from roaming. They feel that they have made their choice and must abide by it. and so their eye is not out for every attractive man or woman who crosses their path. They are not counting their heartbeats. They are not always thinking of change, as are the free lovers whose liberty consists in their being able to swap partners as often as they like. And finally, there is that sense of possession, a sort of egotism that makes us put a high value on what belongs to us, and that makes us think that our husbands and our wives are superior, just because they are ours, as we think we have the best car or the best radio. All of which brings us back to the fact that with all its faults, marriage is still the best arrangement that has yet been devised for the companion- ship of the sexes, and that the fewer liberties we take with it the better.

(Copyright. 1935.) Fe-a?;.H_ope BY JAMES W. BARTON, M. D. “J N ADDITION to the symptoms of which a patient complains, there are other claims the patient has upon the attention of the physician and these are his fears and his hopes. “The importance of the symptom of fear in the patient’s mind doesn't depend on what the symptom really is, but what the patient thinks or fears that it is. Thus a child can be just as much afraid of a shadow that he thinks is a bear as of the real bear himself. “A fatty tumor on the chest wall does not disturb the mind of a doctor, but to the sensitive woman who fears it is a cancer of the breast it is no less than a tragedy.” I am quoting freely from an ad- dress given some months ago to the McGill Medical Society by Dr. A. H. Gordon. ‘When the patient enters the hospital fears arise—instruments, examination, metabolism test when the rate at which the processes work is measured, }the presence of strangers and the absence of friends. Just as the patient has fears, the patient also has hopes, and getting rid of fears and raising of hope are really an important part of a doctor’s since he holds length in trumps, | Work. The patient hopes that he has not a dangerous ailment; then he hopes to improve, then to be well. If he can't get well, he hopes he will not | suffer. Dr. Gordon points out that while quieting fear and raising hope are important, a most careful examina- tion must always be made and the patient must be allowed to tell a full story of his troubles. The physician then, and not until then, is in a position to allay the patient’s fears and increase his hopes. Further, the patient realizes that the doctor has come to his decision re- garding his case only after a thorough examination, and so he is in a better mood to have his fears quieted and his_hopes raised. The day when the doctor was con- sidered a magician has long passed and the patient now thinks of his physician as just a person: the day is here when the physician must think of his patient as a person, not just a case of pneumonia, tuberculosis or other ailment. As Dr. Charles Mayo pointed out some years 2go, the doctor now takes his patient into his confidence. He treats him as a person. New Potato Dish.

Divide the hair on the right side and comb a strand of it down on forehead. Moisten the hair with curling lotion, make a few flat curls on the forehead and fasten them with a bobbie pin or barrette. Curl the ends under on nape of the neck, if hair is too short to roll or twist in coils. Drue Leyton wears this type of coiffure, which is very chic and becoming to both blond and brunette. LOIS LEEDS. Scaly, Muddy Skin. Dear Miss Leeds: What treatment is good for a scaly, muddy-looking complexion? It seems that, on differ- ent occasions, the skin on my face looks scaly, and more so when I apply face powder. I dlso have a number of freckles that I dislike and have tried to bleach them with lemon juice and borax. What would you suggest to bleach them? MISS W. G. C. Answer—The dryness of your skin may be due to the fact that you have used undiluted lemon juice and borax, which are too drying unless mixed with rosewater or witch hazel in suffi- cient quantities. Then, too, you prob- ably are not eating sufficient raw fruit; green vegetables and salads . Use a_ superfatted soap after the nightly cleansing with cleansing cream or oil. Use a cucumber, honey and almond skin lotion as a powder base. Once or twice a week take the warm oil facial pack; it will help to keep the skin lubricated. At bedtime apply & good tissue cream or cold cream and leave & thin film of it on the skin overnight. My leaflets, “Cor- rect Facial Massage” and “Treatment for Dry Skin,” will help you. Send an addressed envelope with a 3-cent stamp and ask for them. v LOIS LEEDS.

I am blond with blue eyes and & medium dark complexion. | Can you suggest a suitable make-up . and perfume for my type? MISS W. E. R. Answer—Hats seem to be like coif- styles that one cannot go wrong. The crowns seem to be a little higher, but there are small and large hats, off the | face and turned down on the face, that suit every type. Every night, at bedtime, massage the wrinkled fore- head with a good oily cream. For the frown wrinkles, press the second and third finger over the nerve center, the space between the brows, and pass the fingers in a stroking move- ment over the eyebrows to the outer | corners of the eyes. Forehead massage should be done in a slow, soothing movemegt after the face has been thoroughly cleansed | and a good oily cream or massage ap- plied evenly. After the slow massage remove the excess cream with a tissue | square or two and pat on a mild- astringent.

She kept still and waited until din- ner was over. Then she called Peter upstairs. “What's the matter, son, does your head ache?” Peter com- plained of that and of pain in his stomach as well. Nancy knew there was but one thing for her to do. She warmed the bath room until all the chill was out of the air, undressed Peter and popped him into a hot tub. She took him out, rubbed him briskly and bundled him intc his pajamas. Then she put him intc his bed. Keeping him warmly covered, she brought him a glass of hot water in which she had put some lemon juice. She put in so little sugar that he scarcely knew it had been sweetened. Next morning she sent a note to his teacher. He saw no reason why he should stay hcme, but Nancy knew that early care of a cold often ended | it quickly. She made up her big bed ! freshly and moved him into it.

It was a perfect night | | for wandering about as Bobby Coon | dearly loves to do, and there would be | few more such nights, for already it | was later in the year than Bobby was | in the habit of being out and abcut. | Any day now the weather was likely | to turn cold, so cold that Bohhy would | not want to venture from his hollow tree. So he was the more anxious to make the most of this fine night. | “With all the trees there are, why | did Prickly Porky have to climb this | tree?” grumbled Bobby. And then he forgot to grumble. He had heard a sound. It was a very faint sound. You or I probably would not have noticed it at all, but the Lttle people of the Green Forest are trained to notice such things. If they didn't,, they wouldn't live to grow up. “Some one is coming,” ht Bobby, and cocked his head a bit to one side that he might hear better. There it was again, & rustling of dry leaves under feet. Whose feet? That was the question. Bobby listened 2 minute longer, and there was no doubt whose feet were rustling those dry leaves. Bobby looked up at the old nest of Redwing the Hawk, in which | he had spent the day asleep, an somewhat hurriedly began to climb back toward it. But hardly had he started, when he heard a loud sniff, [ fourth cupful of broken pecan nut meats, one-fourth cupful of French dressing, and one-fourth cupful ot diced cheese. Fill the apple shell | with this mixture and top each with mayonnaise; sprinkle with paprika. My Neighbor Says: To clean ironwork or old fur- niture without scratching it, take ground bathbrick dust, which you procure from the druggist, put it through a fine sieve or a cloth, mix it with turpentine un- til it is a paste, apply to the iron- work and let it dry. Then rub off with chamois skin. The re- sults are astonishing! As potatoes get old add a little sugar to the water in which they are boiled. They will taste as good as new ones. A cloth dipped in linseed oil and wiped over polished furniture will greatly improve its appear- ance. One should keep a special pair of scissors in the Kkitchen for cutting raisins, figs, lettuce, pars- ley, etc. (Copyright. 1935.) Helps PREVENT many colds
