ito determine what change. il any.
should be made in the prescribed
strength of the National Guard" In
considering that general subject, the
committee has been instructed to give
due consideration of the following
questions:
Is the present National Guard pro-
gram essential to our scheme of de-
fense, or may a part of it be trans
ferred to the organized reserves?
Is it practicable to raise and main
tain in time the prescribed
quota of 500 men per senator and rep
resentatve?
II essential and practicable. how are
the men and me funds to be OBJ
tanned?
If either non-essential or non-prac-
ticable. how shall the present pro-
gram be modified?
Do we need a national guard re-
serve? If so. should it be included in
the legal quota? What steps are
needed to organize 1t?
Suggestion to BE Drafted.
In case the committee concludes

scribed strength, it is instructed to
submit draft of the necessary
changes in the law and also to rec
ommend policies that should govern

Do you think I ought to tell him that he hurt my feelings so that he will not do so again. BRIDE. If you mention the fact that you were hurt, do not lay too much stress on it. Some men do not like to feel obliged to do things; they prefer to do so voluntarily. If I were you I would celebrate occasions like Valen- tine day, Easter, etc, by having a spe- ciaI dinner, using your best silver, dishes and linen, and cooking the dishes your husband likes especially well. When he sees you are doing your part to be festive, I believe he will respond and do his

 Ytour husband should be made by law to. support his family. Go to the court of probate and report your case I am sure that something will be gained by the step because no judge would permit him to support another woman when he has wife and six needy children.
 It is going to take great strength and courage to get through the next four or five years, but at the end or that time your burden will be light ened because your children will not be so dependent upon you and some of the boys will be old enough to con- tribute a little to the family budget.

 What more grateful an avocat1on is there than the study of the human face. Learn therefrom of what na- ture are the characters of our kith, our kin and our own kind. Go into any street car and glance at the faces of those sitting opposite you I have heard aplenty of the plain, wiorse than medioche faces one sees in public But discern, study, appreciate without priggtshness, and you will come upon faces that will haunt you afterward- old working women, for instance, such as Renlbradt would paint almost with rever ence.

 Many of my readers possess recipes for perfumes which have been handed

 One woman once sent me her form

 from the time of the Crusades the
 name of 6, famous Roman family, one
 member of which invented a sweet scented powder and named it after himself. His grandson, 8 certain Mauritius Frangipani, discovered that by treating the powder with spirits of wine he could produce fluid extract. The formula. is:
