+ $Phird in a series of interviews with men and women on the Keyes to Women’s Happiness. By Fay Stevenson. OVE is not a career, It is an incident. It is NOT a life job and the woman who ex- pects to find her key to happiness (rough love, AND LOVE ONLY, is @eing to be sadly disappointed.”’ ‘That is what Robert W. Chambers, the novelist, told me when I called upon him at his home, No. 48 East 83d Street, to talk about love being a key to @ woman's hap- piness, I had ex- pected this popu- lar writer to nod his head and as- sert that love was u is one of woman's Most important keys to the door of happiness. I had even imagined that Mr. Chambers would say that a girl first found this key of happiness when sho was swect sixteen in so- @alled puppy love, then that she usually fell deeply in love between the ages of cightcen and twenty-five, married and while she might not find just the happiness she had expected, she still found that romance—the weddings of her friends and later per- haps the beau of her own daughter —furnished a world of happiness. Then, I expected him to talk of the Jove affairs of the bachelor girl and even the staid, old-fashioned apinster. But ems, Mr. Chambers shovk his « “head and announced that love, the @l@ fashioned Victorian, clinging-vine Jove was doad. “Love may be the key to many @ woman's happiness,” said Mr. Ghambers as a whimsical smile Played about his lips, “but no ‘woman on earth can expect to find a lifelong happiness through Just the love for a husband or Sweetheart. The strongest, most powerful love in the world is not @ career. It is not a lif ry A woman cannot po: just one key—oall it a love key—and ex- to find complete happiness in her own romance. She must hold the keys to other doors of happi- Ness, to other interests in life if she would keep the key of love.” “Then you don't believe in the old- fashioned love, the love of the hone: ™oon days which ripens and grows stronger each year even when the 5! ver threads appear among the gold 1 asked Mr. Chambers. “Rot!" exclaimed the novelist and ke made a wry face as though tasting @ dill pickle. For a moment Mr. Chambers sat silently thinking. His butler tip-toed im and presented him with the morn- fmg mail. The drawing room where we were talking was an exact repro- @uction of the drawing rooms one reads about in his novels. Gilt up- holstered furniture, a cabinet filled with foreign bric-a-brac and a Sat- uma vase on the piano filled with fresh American beauties gave a very, pretty setting. “Rot,” echoed Mr, Chambers as he tossed aside his unopened mail and eontinued to discuss love as just ‘‘one key’ to a woman's happiness which must be uged discreetly and with a Bumber of ot}c: keys. “That old-fasiioned Victorian love was not the love which brought hap- piness to any woman,” he declared. “The love of to-day, the love which is NE of my correspondents begs me to prescribe a treatment other than operative for her Poungest child, a mouth breather, as- Werting that two older children had @@enoids removed and have since @uffered more than before with “colds.” T have never known a case in which pt Ba adenoid tissue was ey removed that the child faile: fo improve rapidly. As has been explained in previous papers, the obstruction to breathing is usually seated in the roof of the @aso-pharynx. A child may have an obstruction in Whe nose, but children very rarely muffer from disease of the nose; their tonsils may be unduly enlarged, but mot enough to cause complete mouth ®reathing. Sometimes the adenoid Srowths that completely plug up the beck gate of the nose are so exten- give that they can be seen hanging down into the throat, More often than not, however, they must be @earched for with the finger by the examining physician. In this way one gan feel a mass of glandular tissue, and the sensation is like sticking ‘one’s finger into a can of worms, | Now every particle of this growth must be curetted away.

She must have a sec- ond key which will unlock some other door to happiness, She cannot expect to hold a love-key and withdraw to this room of romance to brood over love. Her life must be full of her world interests."* “And yet I firmly believe that there are women who find great happiness in love, in sentimental reveries con- cerning their husbands and the men they expect to marry. Why is it that Tessie the shop-girl spends so much time talking about the dance ‘he’ took her to, the way ‘he’ put her cape on and what ‘he’ said? Isn't love her key to happiness?” I asked. “Tt is an incident in her life, it may seem a pretty long one to you if you are waiting to buy a pair of gloves,” smiled Mr. Chambers, ‘‘but after all you will find that Tessie spends but a short time with this young man and she spends a good many more hours at work.

Removing the hair from the lower Part of the nose with tweezers has sometimes caused a hemorrhage, so I warn you against this method. I hardly think that the weasing of the hair loosely as a child would cause this growth. It is simply natural with some people, and of course your being brunette makes it more conspicuous. Anything that I could give you to re- move the hair would possibly be too strong for your skin. The electric needle is, of course, the only perma- nent method, but I do not think that the peroxide, if it is not applied so of- ten as to irritate the skin, would hurt you. It simply bleaches the hair and makes it less conspicuous and if ap- plied frequently will split the hair, but it will not permanently remove the hair. I do not want you to feel self-conscious, because it is better to be persevering in the removal of this cause than to allow it to make you unhappy.

It is unnecessary to go into detail here as to the marvellous effect of fresh air, properly respired through the warming chambers of the nos- trials, upon the entire system. The change in a child is as though he had been touched with a magic wand. It is the life giving oxygen in place of suffocation. Now, when children fail to respond to the removal of this obstruction something is wrong in their general hygiene. They require, in addition to plenty of fresh air, good plain food —that is, fresh healthy milk, whole wheat bread, pure butter, stewed fruit, meat juices, tender green vege- tables properly cooked in meat stock, &c. The teeth must be well looked after, cleansed at least twice daily, the mouth and throat gargled with strengthening alkaline tonic washes and last, but equally important, such children must have a cold rub-down, preferably of cold salt water and coarse toweling, every morning.

But I am sure you will gain fifteen pounds more if you will follow my sugges- tions.

And because she has other in- terests, because her world is as large as her husband's or the men she meets, her love will be a MAJOR one, The next interview will be with Mra. Lewis B.

HE first American wom- a an to win international fame in the educational field was Emma C. Willard, who was born at Berlin, Conn., Feb. 28, 1787, Mrs. Willard is one of the six women who have been élected to the Ameri- can Hall of Fame. She began her career as a teacher at thc age of sixteen, serving as Principal of several academics. In 1809, while in charge of an institution at Middlebury, Vt., she became the bride of Dr John Willard. In 1814 she opened a boarding school for’ girls in Middlebury, and sub- sequently a seminary for girls at Waterford, N. Y. This insti- tution was moved to Troy in 1821, and under the name of Troy Female Seminary became one of the best-known institu- tions of the kind in America, In 1830 she made a tour of Europe and published a ‘‘Jour- nal and Letters From France and Great Britain,’ contribu- ting the profits from the vol- ume to the support of a school for women at Athens, Greece, which had been founded through her efforts. She wrote 4 number of other books, in- cluding a volume of verse, which contains the famous poem, ‘‘Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.” Mrs. Willard died in Troy in 1870.

They may be en- ticed to clean, cook or chauf, but never —no, never—will they make your dirty clothing clean, Now all this dislike of laundry pro- cesses is simply a very wrong ‘“‘state of mind’’ and one left as a hang-over of that time when ‘‘washing’’ meant carrying water by the pail, taking a Turkish bath under most unpleasant conditions and playing a rub-dub-dub finger exercise on the washboard. ‘The old fashioned cleaning of clothes by hand depended almost solely on friction for its success; the friction of the bar of soap, or the rubbing of the article back and forth on the cor- rugated metal rubbed the dirt out and the clothing out! “Boiling” was a tedious, dangerous, distasteful job! If there is one thing I am more enthusiastic about than another it is the modern power washing machine and the ease with which it gets re- sults in cleansing clothing, But the woman using a power washer must understand. how to use it. It does not depend upon friction—it depends on these things: The temperature of the water; the kind and strength of the soap solution used, and the force of water as a cleansing agent, To $ any woman who “doesn’t understand how @ washer can wash clean” I always use the illustration of a city hose being turned on to a dirty street—ever watch the way the wa- ter flushes the dirt along the gut- ter? No matter which of the four main types of washing machines is used, it is the weight and power force with which the water is directed on and through the clothing that gives the means to wash out the soil from the fabric without rubbing friction, . Add to this power the ability of a “solution” of soap to “cut” grease and affect it chemically. One must never use even shaved pieces of soap in any machine. All soap, together with other cleansing chemicals, must be\ made in Mquid form, perfectly dissolved. Cut up your soap, add water in proportion of two quarts to a bar simmer until like water. Add one cup of this “solution” to each “load” or tubful of the washer. The exact kind of soap, the quan- tity of water @oftener such as borax or soda, @c.. will depend on the kind of water ana the kind of cloth- ing. Do not make the mistake of using very hot water to wash clothing in a machine. Hot, scalding water only sets the dirt. Use tepid or slightly warmer water for the washing; then, after wringing them out of the soapy first water, put the clothes back in the washer, and give them what I call a ‘‘scald-rinse’’ of as hot water 48 you can obtain, If you give them this scald-rinse, they twill not need to be boiled. It is a mistake to think that boiling removes the dirt trom clothes. On the contrary “boiling” dirty clothes will make them still blacker! The object of boiling is not “How They You Run Your Home? THE BLUE OUT OF WASHDAY removal of sanitation. 1 am, of course, speaking above of white clothes—sheets, towels, nap- kins, cloths, white body clothing and coarse underwear, Never give woollen or canton flannel or delicate clothing a scald-rinse or use on them water hotter than a tepid, lukewarm ter perature. Never use the same water in which coarse and heavy clothing is washed for lighter, more delicate pieces. Never wash stockings of two colors together, nor wash them in the water left over from a previous load— use fresh clear water for them or they will be “linty” from the previous wash water. Before putting in any clothes at all pour in the soap solution, fill up the washer to the desired water line, close the tub, and start it operating for about three minutes. This will make the solution wel! mixed into the wash water and sudsy. Then drop your clothes in, piece by piece. Never overload any power dirt but bleaching and washer, Time each tubful or “load” as it is called. It is just as important to time washing as it is to time a cake or other set task you wish to be a success Washing this new way is not a “dirty job"—doesn't fatigue, and in- deed 1s actually fun! You don’t have to spill a drop of water on the floor, get yourself mussed or untidy or sweaty. You don't need to lift each steaming piece out on the end of a broom handle, not much! Get a power washer, Mrs. Housekeeper, before you permit the family to buy a new talk- ing machine or let father get a new fishing outfit which he'll likely want very soon.
