The Seven Mistakes Of

brute. who takes all of her work for
nothing, and fails to appreciate her
sacrifices, and she holds up all of her
dearest friends and tells them the
sad. sad story of her life.
But let her go away from home and
she isn't gone three days before she
begins to recall her husbands good
qualities. instead of his bad ones:
and before a month rolls around she
is singing his praises as the great
matrimonial prize and patting herself
on the back for having drawn it.
TO BE PITIED
Pity the foil yof these couples who
say that they have never been parted
for a single day since they were mar
ried! Think of all the honeymoons
they have missed, for man and
woman who really loved each other
do have a vision once more of the
glory and the circling wings of ro-
nance every time they are parted and
reunited
No husband and wife should under
take to live together whole Il month
without some break in it. 1t is more
than our highly strung nerves can
stand. We get tired Of the same per-
son as we do of favorite dish, and
we need a change. And therefore
some unknown cause the domestic at
mosphere is becoming dark and
murky; when the barometer of their
own affections seems to have unac-
below normal; when conversation
lags, and the mere sight of the way
each other eats inspires almost mur-
dering thoughts, why, then, nature
has sounded its warning to them.
One or the other should go off on a
trip, or on business. for the sake of
preserving harmony in the family.
Their love has reached its breaking
point, and the only way to save it is
to relax the tension and give it a rest.
After which it will be as good as new,
or even better. Sometimes we need
distances to get a perspective on the
good qualities of those with whom we
live.
But while a little absence is a tonic
for love. an overdose of it is fatal.
People can be true to an ideal for
years and years. but not to an indi-
vidual, because the ideal is stationary
and the individual is not.
A CONSTANT CHANGE
We change continually. We go up
or down. We get bigger or smaller,
narrower or broader, more and more
like our environment, and SO the man
and woman who are separated do not
stay where they were when they
parted, nor do they develop in the
same direction, and thus it happens
when they come together again that
they are not lovers. They are
strangers.
There are no tragedies more bitter
than that of husbands and wives who
are parted for number of years and
who live on the hope of being re-
united, but who, when they do meet,
find that absence has done its deadly
work and that they can nevermore
be one again.
Therefore, in marriage, use absence
in moderation, for while it is true
that little absence makes the heart
grow fonder, too much of it some
times makes it grow fonder of the
other fellow.

pr-HE sixth deadly mistake of mat

%TF HE sixth deaQly mlStahe Va maj
rimony is:
NOT TO JuDICIOUSLY APPLY
ABSENCE TO THE SORE SPOTS.
One of the remedies for matrimonial
and a preventive, is absence. but, like
other specifies, it must be used with
discretion.
Undoubtedly the source of most do
nestle troubles is that the average
couple who are married get cverdoses
of each others society and see so
much of each other that they pail on
each others tastes. And this without
reference to how good or worthy or
charming they may be. 1t is a noto-
rious fact that nobody has yet been
able to achieve the feat of eating 80
quails in 80 consecutive days, and the
human being has yet to be born who
can look at the same face across the
opinion and hear the same complaints
for 365 days a year without its get
ting on his or her nerves.
There comes a day when the person
that We have thought beautiful or
handsome looks hideous to us; when
we feel that we will shrek If we have
to listen to that old story again that
We have heard millions of times al
ready, and when we wonder why we
didn't notice before we were married.
and in time to save ourselves, those
queer little irritating ways in which
the party of the other part indulges.
BITTER REFLECTIONS
And we reflect bitterly and hope
lessly how our once loved and ad-
mired wife or husband has degener
ated, and wonder what on earth made
us pick out that particular one.
OF course. nothing has happened.
Our husbands and wives are just as
good looking, just as intelligent, just
as charming as they ever were, but
we've just got too much of them. Our
palate is cloyed with sweets, and we
have temporarily lost our taste for
chocolate creams.
If we are wise we break away If
we are stupid we stay together. and
scrap and fight, and make matrimony
a dark and bloody battle-ground.
tt is a pathetic fact that many a
divorce might be saved by two
weeks absence, yet every one knows
that this is true from his or her own
experience. Every married man knows
that there are times when all that he
sees in his wife is a fat woman, who
is getting grizzled and middle aged
and whom he suspects of henpecking
him, and that he has moments in
which he feels that it is pretty hard
lines for a man to spend his days slav-
ing to support thing like that.
But let her go to her mother for a
visit for a month. let her miss her
thousand daily ministrations to him,
let him miss the steady flame of her
unwavering, loyal affection and her
cheerful company. and when she

before, colors are moods, and pink
brings with it all the freshness
of springtime.
BLUE Is COLD
blue Is cold. very cold. but is
useful to the person with gray
blue eyes Ii worn near the face.
Navy blue Is the most neutral of
all colors. 1t never enhances de-
fects and makes the plainest per-
son seem attractive.
''All the lovely rainbow shades
that are worn today are simply
variations of moods, and should
always be worn as such. But II
girl is inclined to be plain I
should advise her to stick to the
pale tints or the neutral shades.
Leave the flame color--the cerise
and the terra cotta-for the face
without a flaw.
"Of course, black is an old
shade, but mauve is the oldest of
all. 1t is. however, often the most
lovely when used by those who
have reached years of discretion.
Youth must never affect 1t. OF all
the shades in my color scheme of
moods gray is the lovliest. Gray
can be neutral or 1t can express
the most individuality. 1t can be
stratched to embrace every mood
or 1t may embody only one. but Its
own name Is sympathy.
"Color is the secret of dress and
should be treated as such. II more

NITROGEN is OF IMPORTANCE
Large Sums Of Money Are Expended
Yearly for Fertilizers Contain
Ina This Element.

One of the most important plant
and tree foods IL nitrogen. Large
sums of money are spent every year
by farmers and fruit growers for fer
tilizers containing this element The
air we breathe is the greatest known
storehouse of nitrogen, but the nitro
gen in the air is not in form which
can be directly used by the plants. It
can. however, be converted into q
disable form by the action of soil bac-
teria-those microscopic organisms
which exist in soils and materially az
feet the growth OF crops. Cultivation
brings these soil bacteria into direct
contact with the air from which they
take the nitrogen and convert 1t into
food for the adjacent plants and trees.
Without cultivation this beneficial &C
tivity Of these minute organisms Is
greatly restricted, and consequently
uncultivated orchards are not as well
supplied with the food materials re-
quired for the prolific production of
fruit OF the best quality. Cultivation.
too. keeps in the moisture OF the soil,
and give the rain and sun a chance to
produce the best results.
