Sc interesa que los Municipios de la

Profesores De los Estados Unidos, que

Is Marriage a
Failure?

Is marriage a failure? OF course
it is not.
Ye have heard it said, who trav-
els fastest travels alone" but how
untrue is this aphorism when one
considers the burst of speed result
ant upon making pace for a lean
athletic wolf. All, my children. the
wolf at the door is an idle myth.
The wolf is never at the door: he's
always two lengths behind papa S
pants. But papa eludes him. Papa
makes speed. Speed makes accom-
plishment. Accomplishment makes
the wealth of nations. The grocer
makes profits. Currency is kept in
circulation. And there you are.
Take it from another angle. An
swer this: If there were no mar
riages there would be no homes. No
home wreckers. No plots for movies.
If there were no marriage would Ro-
dolph Valentino try to win the ladies
on the screen? You bet your life he
would-but that is neither here nor
there. And that's that.
II there were no marriages there
could be no husbands to bump Off
and girls. how dull life would be.
And. in conclusion. though this is
a delicate part of the subject, il
there were no marriage the males OF
the next generation. their destinies
guarded by no watchful fathers
would be ushered into the world as
Clarence Evelyns and Cyrils, and
Beverlys and Percivals. And what
could be sweeter? F. A. H.

Reducing
Ankles

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The length
ened skirt is here, without doubt.
The smartest girls one sees on up
per Fifth, Park and Madison ave-
nues. at the afternoon affairs. at
hotels and restaurants. are wearing
them at least eight inches from the
ground. Already the extremely
short skirt looks the style of a yes
terday, every woman understanding
just how passe that may be. And
as the tendency Is to narrow them
at the hem. the business of learning
to walk with a much less strident
step is again upon us.
But it was not of the new skirt
length I intended to talk today, ex-
cept as il applies to the ankles. The
short skirt will die hard with many
| of us, for II was a free and easy
covering as far as it went. With
the emancipated feeling and the
actual muscle freedom, one could
get where she was going in time as
correspOndingly brief as the skirt.
The slender ankle craze has been
with us during the abbreviated
skirt reign, to be sure. But the
perspective allowed by the greater
distance from heel to skirt hem
was more kindly in the long run
/ (no pun intended) to the average
| girl than the eight to six inch skirt
| lengths. This latter leaves nothing
| but the ankle itself to be viewed
| Consequently. it requires a neat
| turn to complete a pretty picture
as the eye travels downward.
Pep, Energy and Persistence.
Before going further. warn the
troubled in this regard that reduc-
ing ankles is no easy job. You have
/ to put patience-much of it-and a
/ deal of pep and energy and faith
| fulness into the exercises am
about to recommend. Not before
| four solid weeks. including holi-
/ days. holy days, and Sundays, Of
| energetic kicking and stretching
need you expect noticeable diff
| ference. Then every week after
that there will be added improve
ment. cannot guarantee any
stated number of inches reduction
/ in any given time. because that Is
| entirely up to you and depends upon
| the vim and vigor with which you
tackle the slenderizing job.
One Of the curious freaks of ma
ture is to turn the ankle of a woman
over weight by forty or fifty pounds
with the grace and dimensions of the
most eXacting sculptor; and. again.

In addition to these five excellent
trainers, l urge you to swim. The
frog kick, used in company with
the breast stroke. has force enough
In 1t to help much. The padding
required in the crawl, which is the
more popular present method of
swimming instructors, too, is -ex-

Don't take the elevator. either, If
there are a number of flights to
walk up. Stair climbing, when
done by putting only the fore part
of the foot down and allowing a
spring to propel you onto the next
step. Is an aid of great value.
But with the five exercises l have
given you here, done with energy
and pep. as l have said before, and
done regularly and consistently
night and morning for six weeks,
would not be afraid to wager
a trim pair of ankles peeping out
below the heightened skirt hem.
Don't you dare to write and tell
me at the end of a week or ten
days that these exercises are no
good. At the end of six weeks I'll
listen to your plant, il you can
prove with witnesses that you
never missed a morn or night in
that time and your ana les are as
before. But 1 doubt sincerely If I
shall receive one such complaint.
1t is fairly dull and monotonous
doing these things-but think of
what obese women do to reduce
and think again of what thousands
of them have accomplished by
sticking to the end of the program
mapped out. Bear in mind you are
working for a pair of alluring an.
kles and-kick> like everything!

Dolly. I would not go with the
boy if it means deceiving mother.
Even the boy himself would re-
spect you less for that. Instead, l
would set out to win mother over
to seeing that it is quite all right
that you have boy friends even at
is. Tell her from me that 1t is
quite proper, and that you do not
want to do anything to hurt her
feelings: that you will confide in
her. if she will but allow you to.
1 think you can win her over, if
the boy is all you claim for him.
Plead for Time.
Dear Miss Blake: My sweet
heart met with an automobile ac-
cident and was killed. About four
months later 1 met a young man
at a friends house and have been
going with him since. The other
day he told me he was going to
give me an engagement ring in a
week or so. l do not care much
for him and the more 1 see of him
the more l hate him. My mother
tells me to get that out of my
head because he is a good fellow
and l will learn to like him. But
my friends tell me il l don't care
for him l should give him up.
Now, Miss Blake, you are the only
one left to give me advice. Y"
would at least plead for time
to find out whether it is your 10y
atty to the deceased love which
makes you blind to the good quail
tiles of the new one. 1t would be
most unfair to take the ring feel
ing as you do-unfair to him as
well as to yourself.
