Shantung's Extensiue Use

tune that makes a woman good to
look at.
There are lots Of up-to-date and
progressive girls who claim to know
nothing about housework, and who say
that all this time can be spent to bet
ter purpose.
But those who know life and
the influence of all the small intimate
parts of home life are aware that
nothing can compensate for the per-
sonal care that a young wife gives in
these first days to her part Of the new
establishment.
1t is the great way in which to make
home the best place on earth to the
boy who has taken on the responsible
tiles of a man, but who must yet be
helped toward the best that is in him
by the girl he has chosen as a mate.
Women may talk by the hour of
mans lack of fine feeling; his absorp-
ton in business or his own special fad
or sport, but half the time it is be-

The young wife will do well to realize
this fact and to cast out utterly the
idea hat a good appetite for dinner
argues any lack of sentimentality.
Good coffee will hold a mans love and
a well spread table will cement his af-

Sometimes, of course, young people
must board for convenience sake, but
it should always be regarded as a tenn
porary arrangement in these first days.
And while they last, the girl wife can
study much of intelligent housekeep-
ing. h can prepare all sorts of pretty
things for the home that is to be, and
should take real joy in the practical
part she is to have in the new plan of
life.

Hymen and the Stage

BY GEORGE JEAN NATHAN.

many, many men. fall in ove with them?'
WELL then" the lady began, the biggest factor of all 1 believe, is the IN

caused the eldest son of noble British house to marry a musical comedy actress
who, before her entrance intoa Broadway chorus, had been scrubbing floors in
a house near Madison Square

Dry Scalp and Dandruff.

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly suggest a remedy for
my hair? My scalp is extremely dry, with
quite a great deal of dandruff, while at
the same time my hair is so very oily
that | have great difficulty in making it
look decent. At what age does the hair
turn gray? IRENE.
If you will rub a few drops of castor
oil into your scalp every night you will
soon be rid of dandruff. and the castor
oil will be evenly distributed. After
ward we will attend to the oily hair.
Write TO me again after using it.
1t is impossible to say at just what
age the hair turns gray, for each case
differs. One persons hair may turn
gray at %, while another's may not
turn until s..

FlesI1y Ankles.

Can YOU tell me If there is any method
by which fieshy ankles may be reduced
In size? Also, will you give me AN exer-
else which will make the waist supple

with the tips of the fingers, the knees
stiff? l.. Z. l..
You cannot DO much to reduce your
ankles. but, perhaps, by keeping them
laced tightly and not wearing low shoes
for a time their size may decrease.
A very good exercise to make the
waist supple is the following: Using
tie waist as q pivot, bend the upper
part of the body alternately as far
around in a circle as you can.

so YOU will not gain much flesh for "a

for you to take pure olive OIL, a table

Home and. the HuDband
BY KATIE
THE autumn always brings a host

THE autumn always brings a host
Of happy marriages, many OF
which were undreamed of when the
summer dawned.
Master Cupid has a way of existing
sea and woods and moonlight in his
behalf and young people in the vacation
mood are impressionable.
Beautiful rather than practical ideas
are born in the sight of natures won-
ders and mic the scent of ocean and
forest. says the writer in the Philadel-
phia Press.
CITY people. tired of the noise and
tumult of the town, rest easily in the
beauty of the country and at once their
minds turn toward love and home,
which seem the only real treasures of
life when n gets the song of the
woods and the brook in the morning
n evening, rather than the sordid
elangor of noise of the city.
Ethelberta goes back with a ring,
maybe, that she never expected to
wear. and Alfred wears the stern ex-
preston of a man of responsibility as
he takes his accustomed place at desk
or counter. Happiness reigns supreme
for once, often more at this time thar
after the knot is tied, and the reality
of life is more IN evidence.
Some young people eliminate the idea
of everything but marriage. After that
comes the home, the means, the manag-
Ing. But more prudent couples begin to
plan and if they are wise they secure
some sort of a home of their own, if it
be at all possible.
Except in the case of both continuing
to go to a daily task, if both are wage
earners. there is no other plan SO good
as to establish some little corner of the
world that may be their very own.
Boarding houses and lodgings are all
right in their way, but for the newly
married the best Influences is tina of
the personal home, tiny though it may
be. 1t gives the girl the most delight
full of tasks, that of caring for her hus-
band, and the man feels that he is pro-
viding for his own hearthstone and Is
responsible-a far better influence
than the more easy way of camping
with relatives at the beginning.
Here the young wife may begin to
study that serious subject-the appe-
tite of her husband, the things he likes
and those he cannot abide. She can
not, in the whole list of more poetic
tasks, at this time, fix on one that will
be the real foundation stone of much
of their mutual happiness.
Mar is a strange creature, made up
of many moods, likes, virtues and the
reverse, but if there is one general note
which sounds the tocsin of his best en-
deavors accomplishments, and the for

NATION of his habits it is the food
which is served in the new home.
1t is a powerful influence and need
not be derided as q lowering one. Good
foods tends not only to success in life,
but to temperance, morality and the
staying at home habit.
A man may doze over his evening
paper after a good dinner and the soul
full little wife may weep in secret that
he can do so; but older matrons will
tell her that this is a triumph won by
good cooking, over grill rooms, cafes,
clubs, all the various haunts that are
open to tempt the unfed and discon-
tented man who may not wish to ad-
nit the real cause of his restlessness.
There are many things quoted as re-
sponsible for driving husbands out into
the night, The kimono and curl papers
are said to be an urgent reason: the
habit of nagging is a good second. But
men have been known to stand both of
these when a we'll cooked, dainty din
ner was served to them.
OF course, the girl who plans the
building of her home should make 1t q
rule to avoid all the stumbling blocks
but she must not think thai the mere
shell of a dinner will suffice, or that
bread and cheese and kisses will prove
ample fare when the honeymoon Is
passed.
Good steaks, and tende chops, wei
cooked, sailed, buttered vegetables
crisp salads, white linen, good bread
and butter, these are the real lures fol
the new husband.
A sensible girl will never allow her
self to form slipshod habits in dress
for she knows how wonderfully mer
appreciate neatness and grace: more
even thar they do richness ofaattire.
The girl who makes a simple little
toilet for dinner, the habit of the new
life and the new home, if she has not
always lone so, will lay the corner
stone for Joy through the years tc
come.
She will learn to see the approving
look in the eyes of the man she most
wishes to please in all the world.

How Would You House, Feed

whether a family of -four lives or ex-
lists on $40 a week, but an attempt to
solve the matter for those who un-
fortunately must get along on that
sum.
Editor Home Problem:
Sir-Whether a family of four lives
or merely exists on $40 weekly is not to
the point. 1t is desired to help solve
the problem for those who must get
along on that sum. My advice to these
is to secure a copy of the agricultural
bulletin (from Washington treating on
the relative value of purchasable foods.
Following its suggestions n gets al
most full value for the money ex-
pended, and avoids paying for much
of the water contained in all foods.
Five dollars per month saved in the
building and loan will yield 81 1000 in
twelve years. With this sum a pro-
dsctive farm can be bought, settling
forever the living" or existing" argu-
ment, as on a farm one surely lives.
