ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

an undignified squabble. The habit OF
courtesy grows and deepens with its
practice. Habits not only wear ruts in
the BRAIN but they wear ruts in the
character. A person who is habitually
tolerant and habitually fair must have
begun the formation of her character al
most in her childhood. Self-control does
not mean self-effaCement. Try while
acting in accordance with your own per-
sonality to give free rein to every kind
impulse. remembering the rights and
privileges of the other side.

PASSING OF THE
OLD-TIME GARRETT
That Played Important Part
in Colonial Houses.

The housewife who has never viewed
the garret of colonial house. nor seen
the dusky spaciousness of the top cham
Der of a Southern home. does not realize
her lost possibilities In these modern
days. when every room is at a premium
and houses are planned to utilize every
inch of space, all sense of expansiveness
is lost. There are no great unoccupied
spaces, and the storeroom, where unused
articles of clothing and superfluous furni
ture are packed away. is generally the
smallest and most inconvenient room in
the house.
But in the old colonial days the wide,
lofty garret played a large part in the
building of house. II rambled over its
entire top story and breathed an atmos-
phere of romance and awe. Children as
cended the steep stairs with a pleasant
feeling of mystery and met the winking,
round windows in the gables with staring
eyes.
Its dim corners hid treasures of family
pride, and huge presses ranged in ma
jestic rows along the walls held sacred
relics of splendors long past.
There great oaken chests. which had
brought the household furnishings from
across the water, were piled to overflow

tected clothing from the seasons ravages.
Trunks round-topped and hair-covered.
spiked with the cleaning heads of brass
nails; quaint old baskets, fashioned by
the skilled fingers Of the early Indians:
white pine cases, oldfashioned hat boxes,
odd pieces of furniture, furnished this
interesting attic, with dim. unoccupied
spaces between, where spiders wove their
filmy webs overnight.
Often in the earliest days before the
public hall was built, the owners Of such
garret would lend it for a dance or for
speech-makings and entertainments OF
all kinds. and some of the jolliest, best
remembered evenings were spent under
its hOspitable roof.
What. in these days, can take its place?
No one keeps her possessions long enough
nor are they sacred enough to hold
memory. A seasons use. and then fash

REAL ESTATE PUZZLE TO
FURNISH WEEKS FUN

BY the time the Puzzle Circle has fin
ished going through The Herald's For

will know just what each real estate
firm has to offer them for the fall
moving.
For the new enigma comprises the
names Of real estate houses, with an
occasional apartment house thrown in.
So familiar is the Puzzle Circle with
both descriptive and Iocoed styles that 1t
seems superf1uous to give any descrip-
ton Of the For Rent Puzzle which Is
given for this weeks work. Some of the
numbers are descriptive and others
locoed. Contestants for prizes found the
variety Of such a puzzle most interesting
a short time back, SO the same plan for
them Is used again this week.
The apartments and firms given in the
enigma have been recently advertised in
The Washington Herald. and will there
fore be easy to find.
The greater part of the element Of
chance that was a characteristic of the
advertisers acrostic Is eliminated this
week. and believe that members Of the
circle will work with a greater hope Of
success for this reason.
The usual prizes of s. s.. and 81 are
offered. The first two prizes will be
awarded adult members of the Puzzle
Circle, and the last prize will again be
reserved for the children, who, II they
wish to compete only with other children.

answers. Otherwise their solutions will

this reason.
Address all solutions to the Editor of
the Woman's Page, and send them so
that they will reach The Herald office
by noon on Friday, for no list received
after that hour will be In the running
for a prize.

Another help in summer is the ashes
tos iron. And what help this is on warm
ironing days! The asbestos retains the
heat, doesn't let IT get outside to heat
up the kitchen or laundry as we'll as the
iron itself
Fireless cookers are another help for
the housewife. The mother Of a large
family with goodly appetites who has
had to stand over a heated stove In sum-
mer will especially appreciate the bless

many kinds upon the market. and
though they are not inexpensive at the
start, they more than repay the original
outlay in comfort and convenience to the
housewife.
aluminium utensils are so light IN
weight and so cool looking that they
seem especially appropriate for summer
use. They are good the year round, how
ever. and conceal no end OF wear under
their smooth, shining surface. They are
so light in weight they are especially
easy TO handle-another point Of COM

CLOSE OUT YOUR HUSBAND
FOR CASH CONSIDERATION
IF YOU HAVE BAD BARGAIN
BY DOROTHY DIX.

WELL" said Mrs. Billings, as she
poured herself out another cup Of tea.
IT see by the papers that Nine Eames
has paid the wife Of that Mr.. Gorgan-
zola-or whatever his name-s10o,0oo
for him, and got him and married
him."
Huh responded her friend. Mrs.
Perkins, I'll bet she got@tung in the
transaction. That's a mighty big price
to pay for a cheese sandwich"
Some men are cheap at 100000
apiece, and some are high at 30 cents
Dozen" replied Mrs. Billings. But
this transaction. where a woman has
cashed in an unfaithful husband for
good money. instead of grieving her
self to death over him, marks the be-
ginning of the millennium for our sex.
Women are learning some sense at
last. In the future you won't see them
sitting down weeping barrels of tears
over their lost love. They will trade
them OF for collateral that is good at
the millinery store and the dressmak-
er's. And that will show gumption. for
broken heart is the most useless
trumpery that you can have round the
house, while there are few sorrows
that an imported French frock cannot
heal.
Epoch In woman's History.
TT surely marks an epoch in femi-
nine evolution when women have got
ten intelligence enough to trade Off
wandering husbands instead of griev-
ing over them. A full pocketbook Is
better than a set of blighted affections
any day Of the week.
Hereafter a husband will be a lot
more OF family asset than he is now,
and when a woman is married to man
that drinks and CANDLES and is too tired
to work she won't go around with the
melancholy air that she wears now, nor
deluge your best rug with her tears
In place of that she will keep her
weather eye skinned for some other
woman that likes his looks and doesn't
know his tricks, and then she will sell
out her interest in him for enough to
buy her the kind of clothes that she
hasn't had since here trousseau wore
out. Even a poor husband would have
his value, because there isn't any ac
counting for taste, and he may strike
some other woman's fancy, and you
will be able to get a good trade out
OF her. especially If you put up a blufr.
and pretend that you hate to part with
him. and nothing but real money will
induce you to do It,
1T certainly is grand and encour-
aging thought that when q woman has
a husband who has gotten tired OF her,
and who has found an affinity that
doesn't weigh more than half what she
does. that she won't lose her appetite
grieving after him. nor feel called upon
