Herds Another Solution

Dear Cynthia.-The problem presented
by your correspondent, Buck Private, }"
concerning the reason for girls closing
their eyes when being kissed might be
answered in the following remarks:
Woman has for her protection a gift
that makes the male lose out when he
endeavors to take some one by surprise !;
that is, in every woman there is GER
tain amount Of intuition. The intuition
warns of the coming kiss and she invol-
unfairly prepares herself for II Th"
nerves automatically become taut and
then. when she is kissed. The whole
nervous system relaxes, causing the
eyelids to close as ones do when tired
1t all happens and is over in few sec
onds ard the nervous system is again
back to normal, causing the eyes to
open.
The various theories set forth by the
readers of your column are looking at
the problem from purely mental view,
not physiological.
A word to "Black- Eyed Billie:

romance and are trying your hardest

Interested In Home

To the Editor Of Womdn's Pace,
Dear Madam-ln your evening paper
you stated a person willed so much for
or toward a home for women, Will
you please answer in one of the evening
issues if there is such home and par
ticulars or where particulars may be
known. READER.
This person left in her will $4,000 to
a home for the woman in the way. When
Investigations we're made it was found
that there is no such home, and so the
woman who made the will must have
meant that she wanted one to be
founded. This has not been undertaken
so far. or at least it has not been made
public. But there arc plenty of homes
if you wanted to find one. You can find
a list of them in the business directory
Of the telephone book under Homes. -
If there is any particular kind of a
home that you arc interested in I would
be glad to look it up for you ard do
what ] can to help you.

MANY requests have come to me for
A'A methods of preparing church sup
pers, so that they will leave a margin
OF profit that will repay the volunteer
workers for their trouble.
II is always important that a menu
should be arranged the first thing and
then figure out an approximate number
for the supper, If the ladies of the
committees arrange that various
groups of women look after each
course. it will eliminate actual druid =
sery for two or three people. For
example
First. Setting the tables and pre-
pairing the salads and desserts;
Second, Preparing the main dish
Third. Preparing the vegetables;
Fourth. Preparing the bread and
butter;
Fifth. Removing the dishes.
1t will be a real economy to engage
woman to wash the dishes. and the
committee will help to dry them and
sort the silver.
