Sophie Irene : Loeb Says: Jongs for them. Do not mistake me. until the break comes. i have read letters from her and will not have children. She js al- her shadow. Her game is to look for what she can get out of life and mot what she can give. Hey usual defense is, “Oh, well, when don't know the love of children I don't miss them. I hear mothers speak about ‘how they would not part from their children. I suppose I would be the same wi But as long as I never had any I don't know'what it is, and T guess I am just ag well off.” And is she? | have never yet nN a woman who, when the 8 go by and middle age ap- rr y d wish for the child that now might be grown up and that would ha clung to her and in whom her hopes could have been continued. Then there is the husband to failed to give that is the debt that she ow manity which she has never paid —the continuation of the race. Every woman who ca children, and if she dren and knows her husband loves them, she can go into one of the orphan asylums and get one, or from the home of some mother who has too many. What a big part she can then play in th hems things and what she will get in return in the way of child love she cannot now realize. She not only joses much in woman- liness and sweetoess by not havi them, but she is very muc in the Wig its had them. Many a kept toge py with the is broken and mis AML of to the cor foregoing is int P who have ampl to care for children Brit there ts to the bis question, There is ding to be said in) defense of the worn-out woman in the home of poverty, who Uke the old woman in the shoe “Has #0 many children she doesn't know what to do.” In her case there is some excuse whpn sie refuses to bear more than one or tw When I go down tnto the crowded corners of our city and see the struggle made to keep the wolf from the door, with hungry mouths of Uttle babies, with the mother heart bursting with anxiety and misery as to how she can keep her brood to- gether and fulfill every hope for them, T do not wonder that there is the cry of birtn control in such cases, but they are extenuating cases only. And yet, in those very homes, it is a rare mother indeed who would part with one of those children. It is only as a Jast resort that she does so, -when there 1s nuthing left to do, and it Is always for the sake of the children, If she could dic for them she would do it, but realizing that they must live and yet on, she sacrifices herself, to the nth power and gives to strang- ers the clinging arms {hat are a part of her. . When such a woman refuses to have any more there is a reasonable excuse. On the other hand if we had not had this kind of a mother many of our greatest people who have en- riched the world for being born would have been lost. It is easy enough to find them in the histories of the world, but this age has brought about a state of affairs where a woman wants to have only good times and no_responsipilities. 1 ask th women what would become of them if their randmothers felt as they did. hey would not have been born. And by this very debt of having been born, they” owe something to the children of to-morrow. Besides, these very women never veallze what it would mean to them— the clasp of a baby hand, the tender- ness, the constant joy that comes with that “little fairy in the home.” Yes, there ere trials and troubles fn rearing them, but there is no sub- Yime thing that comes without its wordid elde as well, and it is this.very WHAT 2° Cepeniern preset You Know QUESTIONS. 1, Of what color are the flowers of the larkepur plant? ‘What is the line, either above or 2 Wi below the staff wall 3.

HE nose te+ quires spe- cial hygien- fe care because like the ears it is one of the parts most exposed to the changes of temperature and very eastly af- fected by the cir- culation. In childhood slight defects and deformities of the nose can be very readily remedied because the bones of the nose are very cartilaginous, but in maturity it is better not to attempt any stren- uous method of changing the general contour of the nose, but more than any other feature of the face it re- (ects proper care and treatment, One of the most disfiguring things to combat is & red nose, This ls caused by impaired digestion or im- peded circulation from tight clothing, su lie cure must depend on the cor- rection of these evs to be per nent. When L speak of the red nose L do not mean the general flushing of the face to which many ot you are subject, but the permanent red- hess which If not properly attended to in its inciptent stage soon becomes chronic, Tt is a condition that bs as often found in man as woman, so its cure i8 of general interest, Of coures the first thing to do is to tind the real cause and remedy that. Did you ever stop to think that Just such a slight thing as reauing sitting in a bad position immediately after eating will cause the nose to become discolored? In fact indiges- tion is one of the chief causes pf this trouble, The enlarged and red nose is often the result of heavy eating. Repeated colds and adenoids will alsu- thicken and redden the nose. You can also trace the objectionable redness to poor circulation in the extremities, so you muat guard against cold feet or tight shoes. ‘The dainty chiseling of the nostriis adds much to the refinement of tue expression of the face. so [ warn you against any rough treatmont of the nostrils, as thie will coarsen the tox- ture of the skin and y lose th» curves that give expression to the rose. The nose is of vital importance hecause it is the legitimate avenye through which we take oxygen into the body. That is why Nature has protected the membrane of the noso with fine hairs which act as a siove to keep out forelgn matter. Deep breathing will keep the membrane of the nose in a healthy condition, and then.ypu will find that it 1s not nec- ersary to use any artificial means for removing a superfluous growth of hair from the none. ‘This deep breath- ing also improves the lines of the nose, because it causes a natural retraction of the muscles and takes vay the flaibby appearance which te diofiguring. |.

Results are prolific, but per cent. navy. Everybody agrees on Biggest triumph has been chalked up for diplomacy. Diplomacy «ts gentlemanly art of saying what you don’t mean, Nke yokel ordering from French menu. Diplomat is boy that can talk turkey while acting cuckoo. Never says what he thinks except tm code language to the home office; Homespun folks of U. 8. A. have al ways called a spade a spade. But plenipotentiary diplomat is guy that would call a spade a straight flush and try to grab all chips. That why diplomacy never has cards spread out on the table. 8 Diplomacy is older than storage eggs. Ben Franklin used it years ago and nabbed concessions from France and England. And Ben was never as green as he looks on the one cent postage stamps to-day. Bis- marck shook a mean handshake, and Disraeli slapped a mean back. And there were other famous diplomats: before Hector even had the mange. i Diplomacy is old shell game, bu! now they play it with 16-inch shells. Hughes offers to scuttle Navy and re~ duce Denby to Secretary of Junky, Harding Administration is willing: to sink battleships bearing names of: Democratic States. But slant-eyed: envoys from Far Bast claim Demo- crat battleships are not enough, Want Hughes to wait till after next election and then sink ships from Democratic majorities. Hughes now counters with sweet proposal to call ten-year lockout on Admirals. and gobs. And as evidence of good faith, Hughes is willing to let Ship- ping Board fleet keep on sinking as, usual, i Japs are staggered by our polites: ness, but refuse to be outdone. “To show Japan is on the level, Nippon — delegates concede themselves the right to keep on launching ships.
