OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE OTHOMAS

The second month of this new year
is half gone. What have you done
that is better than last years accom-
plishments? What have any of us
resolved to improve upon? Peace is
the watchword now. President Will
son, David Lloyd George and Mr..
Clemenceau, three of the smartest
and ablest men in the world are do
ing their best to make the world safe
for all people. But they cannot sue
coed unless the people, as a whole,
stand shoulder to shoulder and up
hold them. There must be loyalty,
or their power will be of no avail
1t is fine thing to cultivate the
spirit of optimism-if one hasn't the
optimistic spirit. All of us know
what it is to be full of enthusiasm
over some plan and what it means
to meet a frienl and get bucket OF
cold water on the plans. That plan
One may have the tenacity of pur-
pose to succeed at all hazards, but
there is a certain dynamic force
wasted in combating opposition that
could be used for a better purpose.
The fate of the world, in meas
ure, lies upon the shoulders OF the
three great men whose names l have
mentioned. And it is up to. every
one of us to encourage them. Some
of you may say that they do not
know that we are living. In way
that is true. But we are cogs in the
machinery that runs this govern
ment, and the same influence that
we exerted to down the kaiserite, the
pacifist and the aliens of every sort
must now beturnedto help those who
are trying to make the League of
Nations really mean what the term
implies.
our gardens must be as carefully
nlanted, our plans for canning as
carefully thought out, our meat must
be- as carefully used. Those meat
less days did not hurt any of US, and
we have the pleasant thought that
we helped the starving by doing
without it. All of us learned some

If you had the choice of staying.

and doubtless fortune, or of going

your chance with the rest of the
hundreds who will be seeking offers
from managers, aren't the chances
pretty good that you would call to
mind the old saying that "a bird in
the hands worth two in the bush?"
Perhaps that might be the case
with a good many ambitious young
lem confronted Miss Alberta Lenore
Norvelle, Louisville, Ky, girl, it
took her less than two minutes to
say overseas for mine. When there
are no more soldiers to be enter
tanned, then I'll think of a career on
the stage"
Miss Norvelle already has spent
some months i'll entertaining the
wearers of the khaki. She was grad
uatCd at the College of Music, in
Cincinnati, then studied at Colum bia
university. Returning to Kentucky
she became assistant to the famed
reader, Betty Lewis, and it wasn't
long before she, too, was one of the
best known readers and impersona-
tors of the state.
The Y. M. C. A wanted entertain
ers at Camp Zachary Taylor, so Miss
Norvelle offered her services. Then
she came to Atlanta under the aus
pices of the War Camp Community
Service and every day she goes to
Camp Gordon where she appears as
entertainer in the Y. NJ. c. A huts.
So splendid was Miss Norvelle's
work that it attracted the attention
of various managers and pretty soon
she began to get splendid offers.
Then came the call of the Y. NJ. G.
A. for overseas entertainers. On
Tuesday she offered her services for
this work, making out a formal ap-
plication for assignment to overseas
duty

WOMEN OUGHT TOT
STUDY PROBLEM OF
WAY OF MARRIAGE
''Harvest Time" for Spinster
Is Between Ages of TWen-
ty-Five and Twenty-Five
Years

1t is said that thousands of So
called old MAIDS would be wear
ing wedding rings today if they had
only made little study of their
matrimonial chances and profited by
tiff, for example, they had known
a husband, ana in what particular
class of men to look for him.
Thus it is useful to know that the
great harvest time" for the spinster
is between the ages of twenty five
and tWenty-nine; for, rather strange
to say, it is during these five years
that a WOman'S chances of a husband
are at their roSiast, when one spin
ster out of every eight wears a Wed
ding gown.
ODDS Against "Flappers"
At the ages of twenty to twenty
four, when she naturally considers
herself more attractive to men, the
odds against her are much greater
actually twelve to one; and at the
later period, thirty to thirJy-four, if
she marries at all, she will be the
only lucky one of twenty-three of
the same age.
At fifteen to nineteen she has only
one chance in seventy-two; and after
thirty-fOur her prospects of the altar
dwindle until at forty they are only
one in tifty-nine.
Thus the spinster in search of a
uuSDdiIJl Will ne Wise 70 pIdCllCe HCI
allurements for all she is worth in
her late tWenties.
If a woman has already worn one
wedding ring and is hoping for an
other, she will find her chances bet
ter ever than when she was a maid;
stakes the betting is always on the
widow, against the spinSter.
Thus between twenty and twenty
four the widows chance of a hus-
band is go per cent greater than that
of the spinster of similar age. Be
is is nearly twice as good; and dur
ing the next ter years it is as forty
to twenty-three.
The Merry Widow
And the widow scores not only at
every age, but in both sections of
the matrimonial field. 1t is true that
it is a close race for the bachelor
five more in the thousand than the
spinsters; but when it comes to
fascinating widowers, they win
"hands down." taking three for every
two that fall to the spinster's lot.
Thus while the spinster is making
hay during her best harvest period
(and, indeed, at every other age) she
must keep a sharp eye on the merry
widow" who is her most formidable
rival.
No less important than for wom-
an to know when her chances are at
their best, it is to know where to
look most hopefully for the husband
she wants.
Thus one bachelor of twenty-five to
thirty-four is matrimonially worth
forty boys under twenty; three men
of thirty-five to forty-four,' or eight
of forty-five to fifty-four.
The woman who wishes to give
herself the best chance of success
will thus bring her batteries to bear
four, and leave the younger and older
men alone. If she fails (and we hope
she wcn't), she can next turn her
fascinations on the men in the next
group, thirty-five to forty-four, with
some hope of success.
