Is Happiness Too Good
 To Last?
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Have you ever walked to a day that seemed all blue and gold and fra grant-in your heart as well as in the SmiEng outdooTs2 And have you started off with a song in your soul. a Tilt in your voice and a. spring to your steps. only to haul yourself up short with a. premonition of evil
 This is too good ito last" you've told yourself. I'm not as lucky as all this. Things don't go right for me-"
 Then, half in bitterness, half in ter TOT. you've made a cloud for the sun shine a feeling of dampneSS for Lhe invigorating air. and a grim resigna' ton to locate, which dsn't the way your Instincts bid you feel tDt all. at all
 Some one once said that in pack ing up for the journey of 1ifez it's never necessary to put any worries and troubles in the old kit-bag, be- cause we can accumulate plenty of those as we go along. And It's per fectiy true. We have a way of ind ing thfngs-to worry about as we jour ney through the world.
 We find worry. We don't wait for it Ito overtaRa uS--or, better stIll, give it such a. merry chase that it has to resign itself to the impossibility of catching such a. glad heart.
 Weigh Us Down.
 A frame of mind doesn' come from externalities- Of course they D. and the pressure of debt are alike equipped to weigh us humans down in utter dejection. But they do 1t because of the help we give, not in spite of the effort we make 70 es' cape
 When worry is constructive E takes the form of a problem and asks. How can I get out of this?" Then it stops being worry and be- comes action
 But when worry moons over the impossibiity of holding on to hap piness. then it's tom-foolery or worse.
 Suppose happiness doesn't last does sorrow? Doesn't every wound heal-be it of the emotions or the i cuticle or the deep cutting of death itself? If any one mood could be bound to pail Perhaps naked say ages in tTacllless wildernesSes are childishfy happy from morn to eve of their unclouded day Butt they are sayageS
 What has made civilization is neces- ! sity. Man had to invent ways of ! fighting nature He had ito make up for his physical shortcomings in ] world on something like an equal footing And see where his short ] conadngs have placed him A little Respite -. Tlre minimizing joy of a cloudless day is fine But it doesn't do any thing more valuable than give us a little respite from the struggle of living and a few moments to devote to enrolling lays. It's pleasant ito be | uuthinkingly happy. It carries for the moment back to the child hood days ofs4the race-to- our own child hood. But it doesn't carry us for ward.
 So when, you wake to a golden day, enjoy the brief minimizing moments 1 of pure enjoyment. Give yourself over to-SeusuouS bathing in sunshine wEls~about+ a much thought for any thing beyond as a butterfly can be ac- ! ca1sed of having.
 And when you begin. questioning if n1cp, tlappineSs is "too good ito last, l realize that you are coming back to useful citizenship and getting ready ! for something more valuable than ' baskins-in the sun like a lizard.

BEAUTY CHATS Bv EDNA KENT FORBES.
BRoWs AND IsAsHES

There's nothing that adds more beauty to the face than well shaped lashes That statement is a bromide, but true, as bromides usually are. was reminded of it today because of some letters that asked for eyebrow and eyeIash tonics.
 Of course there are all sorts of things sold to make one have 1aShes r!valling those of the greatest movie vampire! Most of them have vas eyelashes is Rub them with vas- ,eline''-and if it's a choice between that and some fancy labelled, highly perfumed and costly article. I'd be tempted to say ''vaSeHne also.
 But vaseline is mineral product that is, it is made from mineral oil, as we all know. And the body. does not take up mineral oil You know fine laxative for that very reason the body will not absorb it, so 1t must pass through. Cold creams made with mineral oil are not nour1sh1ng cleansing.
 To be really nourishing, then, an eyebrow and eye1ash tonic must be made from something the skin will take up-a vegetable oil, in other words. So you can use castor oil this makes the hairs a shade darker but not much: or olive oil; or. If you want something quite special, a com
 
 lanol:ne, which grows hair. Do you want this formula? If you do, have | it and will gladly send it-but, mean time. try olive or castor oil, or plain almond oil, a"d use it every night. Clip the 1ashes before you begin the trea tment, for this gives them a new start.
 J. L-There are two fashioned 1 effective ways for curing chilblains 1 One is to keep the feet in a tub of snow for a while: the other is to put them first in a bason of hot water,
 thel. to plunge them imm ediately into & basin of ice water After this rut l them with oil and wear warm stock | ings and loose shoes for the rest of | the day. You must, of course, stoE | the habit of coming in from the colo 1 and putting the feet near the warmth

 tiful, if it is well cared for.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
Love After Niar,iaSc.
By BEATRICE TARTAN.

Dear Miss Fairfax: Can love come after marriage? I am going about with a man several years my senior. I am in my teens yet. He says he loves me He has conducted himself as q gentleman and is very consider ate.3 My folks think well of him; but though I respect him very much I do not love him, yet l do not dislike him.
 Over IS months ago I met a man could love. but he has gone out of my life.
 The present man says he is sure that my love for him will grow after maCriag,. He is so devoted and kind. What shall l do? JEANNE.
 If you wre 25 or 26 I might tell you to go ahead Sanely and marry the man you admire. But even if you had the poise of experience this might be a dangerous plan. Now you are most assuredly young enough to wait. What sane reason is there for plunsing into marriage without love to impel you? Why give up your chances of finding real happiness on the off chance that the feeling you do not now experience will come to you? Evidently you have not yet forgotten the first man. Possibly you yourself would not care if you could see him again and assure yourself of his lack 1 of suitability. But as long as you i i'd oIize him how can you risk marry | ing some one else so cold bloodediy? :? The Chance for Happiness. l Dear Miss Fairfax About a. year | ago, through business, I met a man IS
 years my senior who is separated | from his wife and working for a di- | vorce. I know quite a few people who know him and speak very highly | of him. For my opinion. he is my | ideal man Now. Miss Fairfax, he
 has shown his love for me as plainly
 as a man fu his position should. Shall
 I wait for him or try to forget him? l UNDECIDED 1 My dear, this may be your one
 great chance of happiness. But unless 1 you are brave enough to stake every l thing, you rnusn't consider 1t The mere fact that you are willing to do l as a stranger says iTclineS me to feel l that the situation is too mIrchrfor you.

think you will agree, when you Nook a the accompanying sketch The hangings the artist has drawn are made of sateen. Each side drapery, or shawl, as they are called, consists of four ruffleS sewn on to a straight piece of material. The valance has q double shirring at the top. Simple. arn't they? Yet most effective.
 Such a style is admirably suited to an informal room. And when they are made of one of the less expensive, plain materials they eliminate the necessity of glass curtains. This would not hold fl they were made of figured material, or of a heavy silk. Then simple net or voile should be placed close to the windows

HotsEKEEPING NOTES.

You can easily remove the spots on vanished furniture by rubbing them with essence of peppermint and then with furniture polish or hard oil
 To keep a spare bed well aired. re- move the sheets and put d freshly filled hot water bottle between the blankets each day. When a visitor IS expected, it is only necessary to alr the sheets.
 When you boil your pudding. don't use a lid but place a large enamel bowl of water on top of the saucepan T,is will give YOU a bowl of nearly boiling water with which to wash the dishes, without using any extra gas

 If you have an old crepe de chine gown too far gone to make into a new frock here is a very good use for it Dye it black. Make a plain jumper with sleeves to the elbows and a very wide cut oval neck opening. This style is generally very becoming to almost any type. You can pattern il all over in a design of small white china beads. Have the design very large and simply worked. For the eek and hem of the plain short sleeves vou can make a scalloped one.
