You Can Bear Up Under Anything If You Have The
Backbone To Cultivate FunnYbone

Perhaps the most important bit of
philosophy that we ever acquire Is
when we learn not to take ourselves
and the people too seriously.
In particular, when we have got
ten to the place where we can see
ourselves as human joke, we can
snap our fingers in the face of fate.
We have achieved the great enamel
patton. We are encased in an armor
against which the sings and arrows
of outrageous fortune fall back
blunted and broken. We are free.
We do not have to be continually on

your fellow creatudes, or expect
them to get out the band and beat
upon the cymbals at your approach,
you will find that most Of the peo-
pie you meet are ready to fall on
your neck in sheer gratitude. We
whom we have to be always tanning
with hot air.
selves too seriously we have found
a panacea for trouble. We no long
err say: why should my heart be
torn with this grief and loss? Why
heavy burden? What have I done
that I should be so afflicted"
But we say: why should I. of
all the myriads of men and women
In the world. be immune from the
common lot? Why should I be ex-
ers and sisters weep? Why should
not my back be bowed to the same
load under which others must stag
ger? Why should 1 be blessed above
all others on earth?
And the realization that we are
just one of the great suffering, sor-
rowing, struggling mass silences the
whine on our lips and gives us cour-
age to fight on, instead of running
up the white flag of surrender.
The greatest cross in life is hav-
ing to live with uncongenial and dis
agreeable people. 1t takes less grit
and fortitude to meet a great crash
ing sorrow than 1t does to bear with
patience and courage the fretting
and nagging and complaining of
some member Of our own household.
They are the little pin pricks that
drive you to desperation, and the
only remedy for the situation Is not
to take them seriously. and to try
to get a humorous perspective on
the situation.
After all, nagging wife who tells
a man 20 times day for 40 years
not to smoke in the sitting room
because 1t scents up the carpet, and
who admonishes him at every meal
not to eat the things he likes be-
cause they are so bad for his stom-
ache. is funny. So is the husband
who goes poking around in the ice
pail. and who never fails to ask why
his wife is wasting the bread. and
doesn't pare the potatoes thinner.
Aunt James fussy little ways and
Uncle Johns eccentricities about
food are a scream. So is the way
to their middle-aged children about
everything they do.
1t is having to endure wife's nag
ging and husbands fault finding;
it is having to put up with Aunt
James whims and cater to Uncle
Johns pecularities and endure faith
er's and mothers perpetual meddling.
that takes all the happiness out of
life for thousands of people and
drives them to nervous prosfration
Their only hope is just to- laugh
instead of gnashing their teeth, and
to try to see their old men or women
of the sea as figures of fun instead
Of torturers.
For. after all. there is lots OF trag-
edy that we can turn into farce II
we have enough backbone and
funnybone to do it..

buying them to wear in plain vCiles

Jacquettes and the golf coat with its

The old-fashioned pink Is being
revived. This is noticeable in the

Those who know assert that rose

evening wear. The dresses in rose

colors, are attractive.
The draped turban has become a
fad. and every well dressed woman
will want at least one in her collec-
ton of headgear. Women tie them
up themselves, for this is easily done;
just gather length of crepe at one
end and fasten it into the cabochon,
then from the other end cut 1t

DEEP APPLE PIE

DR.. Lyman Abbott's favorite dish
Is dep apple pie which Is made like
the deep fruit tarts SO plentiful in
England.
Here Is thoroughly satisfactory
way to make DR.. Abbotts speciality:
Limo deep pie tin with a rich crust,
fill with tart, juicy apples sliced very
thin. Sprinkle sugar and little
cinnamon over them. Scatter bits
of butter with a tablespoonful of
water. Use four or five tablespoon
fuls OF sugar. Cover with top crush
and bake slowly for half. or per-
haps three-quarters of an hour.
For the real deep dish pie put the
apples, sugar and butter tabove pro-
portions) in the individual deep dish
and cover with top crust. Bake the
same. Tho spices may be varied of
taste.
