Every one possessed OF generous
spirit Is inclined to put the best foot

none too good for the visitor-if the

offensive TO go to the other extremo !.
to overload the table with ornaments

Can You Tell?
By X. J. and A. ". Bodmer
What Worry Is

Worry is a feeling Of fear, but Is
never Of the present. 1t is always
about something which may happen or
has happened. It is generally in the
future. sometimes in the past. but is
never Of the present.
Animals. which have no memory as
to the past or Imagination as TO tho
future, cannot worry. Babies. since
they live only in the present. cannot
worry. All creatures, excepting human
beings, live only In the present and
therefore do not worry, for they can
not remember what happened in the
past. or guess what is going TO happen
in the future.
A human being, after arriving a. n
certain age. is given such mental pow
crs that he can cast his mind hack
into the past. Because he has imag-
ination he can project his mind into
the future. AS a matter Of fact most
people live less in the present than in
the past or future.
We worry because we are able,
through faculty called self. conscious.
ness, TO place ourselves for the time
being back somewhere in the past with.
out carrying our physical bodies with
US. II we could take our bodies with
US We would Immediately be in the
present again. Or we use our imag-
nation and project the future entirely
apart from our bodies. for we cannot
project our bodies into the future. II
We could we would again be in the
present.
We worry over going to have an OPP
Grafton performed, which may or may
not be dangerous. But as soon as the
time arrives ard the thing takes place
We are In the present. .nnd though We
may still fear, we cannot worry.

appearance and choose them? why
should not woman, the eternal mother,
choose the father Of her children?
That Is what some folks are inquir-
ing, but strangely. this simple and log.
ical idea shocks many persons greatly
Others joke about It, and insinuate that
women always have been the pursuers,
but have been cute enough to seem coy
and hard TO win. Doubtless, there Is
some truth in this. but 1t is difficult to
work indirectly. to recede and pretend
and lure men on.
One reason that women hesitate to
suggest or hint at marriage is that,
according to most countries customs,
the husband has to labor hard to sup
port the wife. Therefore. it seems
rather bold and selfish proposition to
suggest to some man that he pay for
all OF our expenses during the next
forty years! In cases where a woman
is a princess or an hciress. it always
is accepted as perfectly proper for her
to choose her mate. In THE Merchant

having suitors choose casket, con-
tanning certain verses, but she and her
maid manipulate the choice to the best
Of their ability, so that the lady can
get the man she wants. In modern life
IL a woman has fortune or a big
earning capacity II is a delicate matter
for a poor man TO ask her to wed him,
and abe surely can help him by a timely
hint, and yet maintain her self-respect.
A CORRESPONDENT, concerned

described recently as loving modest,
almost timid man, writes;
by all means she should tell him
Of her love. for many times n person

So says our friend Chester man,

This particular family has always

Richard Is married.
His wife went to the dance, too, and

Hut on the way home she let out what
she thought was her justifable rage.
She did think her husband might
have danced with her more, she said,
but he was 30 busy with his sister that
he had no time for her; he cared more
for Margaret than he did for her, any :
how she had always thought 90, but
she did think he might at least pretend
to be fond Of his wife when they were
out together what would people think

This is not her first outburst; CHI

WHY shouldn't her brother be fond o.
her? she wants 10 know.
There Is no reason In the world why
he shouldn't.
But wife like this cannot bear tc
think of her husbands paying any at
tention to anybody else, even to his
mother.
She had a perfectly good time at the
dance, not for minute would she have
danced every dance with her husband.
but she expected him to want to dance
every dance with her.
That's the way with jealous persons
they don't give any extra allegiance or
attention themselves, but they want
others to consider them the center OF
the universe.
TT IS strange that wives never realize
i whnt an entirely opposite effect this
behavior has from what they want.
Instead Of making their husbands
more attentive. it drives them away
