to tell her OF his school life, his life
at home. And the manner in which
he spoke Of his mother warmed her;
and she was strangely and wonder

WIFE HELPED
The ELECTION
OF TAVENNER
REPRESENTATIVE TAvENNER's
CONGRESSIONAL CHOICE ONE
or TRIUMPH FOR HIS BETTER
HALF.
Ry Roht. Z. Wilson.

Washington. April 12.-The swear
ing in Of Clyde Fl. Tavenner CT Cor
dova. Illinois. as the representative in
congress Of the Fourteenth Illinois dis
tlfet, WAS as much of triumph fos
Mrs. Travenner as il was for the young
newspaper man himself.
It is a fact that Mrs. Travenner
worked as hard in the campaign to
elect her husband as Tavenner did
himself. Furthermore, she knew how
to work effectively in his interest. Be
fore her marriage, Mrs. Tavenner had
for three years been private secre-
tary to United States Senator Robert
NJ IaFolIette, of Wisconsin.
Mrs. Tavenner is 81 years old. her
congressman husband is 81. Tavenner
has been a newspaper man at the ma
tional capital during the sessions Of
congress for four years. He knows
every member of congress personally,
and the fact that he has been writing
an article a day for four years, has
quite naturally resulted in his acquir-
ing much valuable and useful informa-
ton on the tariff and other subjects.
Mrs. Tavenner says her husband is q
progressive of the LaFollette type, and
Tavenner replies that it is not neces-
sary for anyone to prove it, that he
admits ii.
senator LaFollette is republican,
or at least insists that he is a repub-
lean, says Mrs. Tavenner. while Mr..
Tavenner is a democrat. Yet so far as
/ can make out they seem to take al
most identically the same viewpoints
of the big issues confronting the peo-
PIE.
@Of course 1 wasn't responsible for
Mr. Tavenner's election. ] helped in
n
hand and / work together in every
thing. I can take shorthand dictation
quite rapidly. and can run the type
writer pretty fast, so you see, that,
together with my experience with SEN
Rtor LaFoIlette, makes it possible for
me to make myself pretty useful to
my husband. It is a pleasure for me
to help him. Now that he Is elected,
take just as much interest in which he
does for his district as he does him
self. We both appreciate deeply that
the people of the Fourteenth district
believe in us and trust us to repre-
sent them faithfully, and we arc work
Ing day and night to make good"
Mrs. Travenner was one os the spec
tators in the galleries when her hus-
band was sworn in.
The oath of office was administered
TO Tavenner by Speaker Champ Clark
which in itself is a rather remarkable
coincidence. in view of the fact that il
was Speaker Clark who first recog-
nized Tavener's ability as a writer and
who has been a steadfast friend ever
since
Tavenner received what he declares
was his most valuable education while
setting type Fat the case in a country
newspaper Office for four years while q
hoy. He later conceived the idea thai
he wanted to write articles on the
great issue under his own name. and

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Dbl want to
entertain at a party in the beginning
Of April and would like to know what
colors and novelties / could use for
appropriate decorations? (2)-Please
suggest a. few games that could be
played. (3)-What refreshments could
serve? obs it wrong to play
kissing games at such occasions?
BLUE EYES.
(D-Decorate with gauze streamers
In tones of violet and green. Have
violets for the flowers, and all the
fresh green decorations you can get
this time of year. Favors of tiny
bouquets would be pretty; furnish a
big pin with each so it can be worn.
When serving refreshments use paper
napkins and plates. decorated with vio-
lets.
City some OF the old fashioned
games-Pussey- in the corner Drop
the-handkerchief, Dondon Bridge Jeru-
salem, Barber shop, etc. (S)-Dainty
sandwiches, fruit punch, small cakes
with fancy icing, sailed peanuts and
candies, violets. (4)-They are never
in good taste
Dear Mrs. Thmpson: I wish to have
a few suggestion in entertaining. I
wish to entertain IL teachers some
evening, including a six O'Clock dinner.
C)-What should serve for a two
course dinner? (2)-What kind Of
place cards are used, some that are
odd and pretty and not too expensive?
(3)-What form of entertainment
would you suggest? (D--Is there any
new way of decorating the table?
E. H. l..
mate soup or a cocktail. though a fruit
cocktail, with sailed waters would be
very tempting this time of year. For
the meat course: Fried chicken with
corn fritters, candied sweet potato.
with combination vegetable salad.
Coffee, cake and frozen custard would
make a nice second course. eff you
can paint, decorate the cards with
comic boys and girls If the teachers
have individual hobbies, they might be
referred to in the shape or sentiment
of each card in bit of verse.
(3)-You might hold a mock ex-
animation, treating the teachers as
pupils, and giving prizes for the most
ridiculous answers.
GA pretty decoration is a small

EDUCATIONAL
LAW PROPOSED
SENATOR BLITcH's MEASURE
coMPELs AN ATTENDANCE OF
SIXTEEN WEEKS AT SCHOOL.
BY FRANK |. HuFFAkER

Tallahassee, April Estate Senator
]. S. Bitch of Montbrook. will appear
during the session as a champion Of
compulsory education, for which there
is crying need throughout the state.
1t Is believed that a suitable compui-
sorry educational law will be enacted
before the sixty-day .spasm' ends.
Senator B,itch's compulsory educa-
tional bill demands sixteen weeks of
consecutive attendance at both city
and country schools for children over
seven and under fifteen years Of age.
Parents failing to abide by the law
will be made to suffer a penalty unless
conditions exist which make it abso-
lutely necessary for them to keep their
children from school.
Another bill to be introduced by
Senator Bitch provides for the exami-
nation Of school teachers by a state
board. He believes that in many cases
county boards show Partially in ex-
amining teachers and grading them,
and hopes rhe Inauguration OF his plan
will bring a change for the better.
Senator Bitch will also introduce an
insurance bill which provides that in
surance companies adjust a IRE claim
within ten days and settle the claim
within ten days after adjustment. This
applies to al losses under $4,000.

Heart and Home
n TT BY Mrs.
Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
married woman of 20, have been mar
ried two years. We have had one
baby, but it only lived a few weeks.
My husband is as good to me as any
man could be. He says he would glad
~ give his life for me, but my heart
does not respond as it should. 1 am
not satisfied with my home. How can
/ learn to love my husband as
should? How can l become satisfied
with my home?
DOLORES.
Go down into the slums and see
how women must live who haven't
good homes and good husbands. Go TO
a big city and visit the sweatshops,
where women and tiny children slave
Is and 20 hours a day to get enough
to eat. Go to the police court and the
divorce court and listen to the stories
told by women who have CAUSE to
be unhappy and miserable.
Then go home and get on your
knees and thank God that He has been
so kind to you. Tell Him that never
again will you think only of yourself,
but that you will try to make others
happy.
You'll never be happy or contented,
my dear, when you think only of your
OWh HdBp41eSS- lou VIII ndppl-
ness only in what you can do for
others.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Dbl was en-
gagged to 3 young man of %. 1 am %.
I have broken the engagement. Should
1 keep the ring until he calls for it or
shall I send it back to him. (2)-He
is nice boy and has few bad habits
if any. I have a nice home with my
folks and didn't care to humble my
self to a position or place which he
might make. We have gone together
off and on for about a year and a-half
and I stayed at home waiting and
looking for him when he thought he
could come. and didn't come either.
But he had quite a ways to come. He
worked all summer and part of last win
ter. but I guess he is not such a worker
or he surely would have had some in
come. He has nothing much now. So
didn't think 1t was right for me to
wait on him another summer, as / am
not in any hurry myself
DOUBTFUL
(1-Send it back to him at once.
(2)-It is hardly wise TO waste your
time on man who doesn't try to save
