Career or Marriage

Dear Miss Lee: I will be Is years old
He said he would never marry if he could
not have me. I think he has proved It.
because 1 went with another fellow and let
him know it. I talk mean to him in front
of people and I know it hurts him. People
would tell me l was sassy.
have one ambition, music. My teacher
said I would be rich some day If 1 would
not marry. I am composing and playing
violin and piano music. I love my music
very much but I also love him. Should
let him go, or my music. I know ] can
not have both. Ny parents like him very
much. UNDECIDED.
You have an odd way Of expressing
your love. I don't envy the man II
you marry him, unless you change
your attitude.
You are only II. Why give up your
music now? Instead, 1 suggest that
you go ahead with it for about four or
FIVE years. By that time you will
know whether you really have genius,
and whether you love this man, or
some other, well enough to marry him.
The fact that you might become rich
should not lure you, because riches
cannot buy happiness.

CARE OF THE SECRET

1 wonder. dear little Marquise, il
always when you were happiest some
thing happened that made you feel
most insecure. OF course. Dad paid
all my hospital bills, and he gave me
a thousand dollars because he had
sent a thousand to Alice; but Jack
told me couple Of weeks ago that I
must not ask Dad for more money;
that we must try and get along upon
his salary and commissions.
They have been very good lately,
but, OH dear little Marqulse, l wonder
If you ever had to try to stretch a
dollar into two? I must have a nurse
for little Jack The woman I have
is staid and helps me in many ways.
She is much better for both baby and
me than a trained nurse would be,
and not nearly as expensive.
About a week ago Jack was worry
ing greatly about finances and I told
him I would let my maid go. He In
sisted 1 should do no such thing, and
I gently reminded him that two and

DIGESTION

TR7 OSITIVE working program
IT of health includes as its chief
IL aim, a normal cell-nourishing
blood stream as the result Of proper
.vitamins and food content that
make for perfect digestion
{ Indigestion is often the result of
bolted food. Food improperly
cooked will cause gas in the stom-
ach. bloating and belching. The
same diet continually month after
month is another cause. Poisons in
Improper food, Coffee Tobacco and
lack Of exercise resulting in constI-
patton also induce chronic cases OF
Indigestion.
The teeth, stomach, small and
large tntestines must all do their part
TO insure a perfect digestion and
healthful elimination. Brush the
teeth carefully night and morning
and after each meal If possible. One
hardly realizes the Importance of
good teeth until they are lost.
A thorough chewing Of foods holds
it in the mouth until mixed with
saliva, the first of the digestive
fluids. For good stomach digestion.
regularity IN taking meals is best.
Don't ever eat all you want. Eating
whenever you are hungry. means
overwork for the stomach.
Vegetables and fruits are rich in
the juices and acids that aid diges-
ton. Good stomach digestion aids
the small intestinal digestion to a
large degree The large intestines
must be kept free and open, after the
remaining nutriment of the food
mass has been absorbed. To aid this
process, walking, bending and reach
ing exercises will keep the large In
testines active.
I Don't eat to excess Of fats, sugars
or starches. Don't become a tea or
coffee fend. Remember that pure
drinking water is a great aid to d.
gestion.

Gay Paree Fashion Seers Declare {
what Looks Best Is Style Rule
Fall FrockS Consider No
Law as to COIor-AII
HueS Shown,
By MARIAN HALE
NEA Service Writer

NEA Service Writer
r. ARIS, Sept. 14.-It was my
If honest intention when came
IL to Paris to digest what I
could of the French openings and
then be able to lay down a few SIM
pie fashion rules for the fall and
winter.
But there are no simple rules.
There are no rules. If there is any
one style that predominates, have
been unable to get it.
These French dressmakers have
their own ideas of what is beautiful,
and they make up the styles they
like best and are most successful
with, regardless Of each other.
How Different Cheri!
Jeanne Lanvtn specializes in the
picturesque frock. In her cozy sa-
Ion with its many French prints ana
its soft gray velvet rugs. her beau
tifuI maneQuins parade before you
wearing close-f1tttng bodices and
full bouffant skirts that reach to
the floor, or nearly there.
Chanel. on the other hand, who Is
one of the most exclusive designers,
makes, year after year, am told.
the little straight chemise frock,
quite short and simple, which is as
distinctively her model as is Ian
WINS picture frock. And both are
firm in their convictions.
Callot sisters, once seamstresses
-
Imposing looking shop In Paris,
show intricate gowns with panniers
and puffs, as well as long, slender
sheath frocks. Some skirts are so
long the ankle is concealed; others
are so short that one almost gets a
glimpse of the knee.
Jean Patou, who makes the chic
serge dresses and the three-piece
costumes so beloved by Americans,
shows medlum-length frocks held
rather close to the figure. with lovely
embroideries and simple draperies.
And so it goes. Anything that is
becoming is stylish. That is the
Parisienne's only rule. I'm told. She
cannot understand the desire Of the
American woman TO follow any par
ticular mode. She finds the style
that is becoming and may have all
her gowns made from one model.
A Riot of Color
And the fashionable houses show
the same models year after year.
with changes only in materials or
coloring.
Nor is there any law as to color.
At Callot's I saw gowns that were
riot of purple. red and orange,
worn with pumps of some contrast
ing shade. At Channels. the frocks
carry one tone throughout, for the
most part, and are very subdued IN
coloring.
j The colorful frocks. am told, are
shown largely for American or Eng
fish women or for the stage. The
. typical Parisienne, though, is almosG
sure to appear in black or white.
Thus, first observations at the
Paris shops lead me to believe there
are no set styles, and we are all on
our honor so far as clothes are con-
cerned. But there are many French
tricks in dressing that I will tell
you Of later, which I think we on
T the other side of the water might
copy with profit.

~ ERHAPS you must pack g.
1 - school box lunch every day but
- Saturday and Sunday, and the
problem of what to put in it looms
large.
In the first place the food must
be nourishing and easily digested
The girl or boy is still growing and
using every ounce of energy in his
or her young body whether In grade
or high school senior.
And in the second place the box
must be neatly and attractively
packed. No matter how good the
sandwiches really are, if they are
crushed Of soaked more than likely
they will remain in the box until
after school and then find a resting
place by the roadside on the way
home.
II there is a school cafeteria to
provide hot soup or cocoa, a thermos
bottle need not be included In the
equipment. But If the whole lunch
con must be carried from home
something hot is most essential. A
hot soup, simple sandwiches and
fruit will do more good than all the
pie and cake in the world.
AS to Sweets
II jelly sandwich sometimes is
made to take the place of cake 1t
will satisfy the youthful sweet tooth
and at the same time provide some
fruit, Simple sponge cake or gra-
ham cookies with raisins are harm
less sweets.
DO you remember how you bolted
your luncheon when you were
school age and then INDUCED in vio-
lent exercise for an hour, and after
that used your brain just as violent
ly? All this takes nourishing food
and plenty OF It. because there must
be an allowance for growth.
A hearty. unhurr1ed breakfast
should start the day for every
child, and a simple wholesome
luncheon should be planned and
packed for noon time.
These recipes may help you TO
| gain variety and suggest other COM
binations.

BOY RECOVERING FROM
 TWO YEAR OLD INJURY
Edward Deminsli Of Locust Street Hit By Golf Ball in 1921 But is
 Reported Improving.

Edward Deminski of 19 Locust street is gradually recovering from the effects of being struck on the head by golf ball at the Shuttle Meadow club two years ago.
 The boy was caddying at the club at the time and after being hit by the ball was taken homo. He was at- tended by physician and later taken to the New Britain General hospital and treated for the injury. Since that time he has complained of severe headaches and has been subject to nasal hemorrhages.
 On March 12 ,Dr. J. T. Donnelly was called to the home and found the hoy unconscious and in convulsions. He diagnosed the case as infiamma- tion of the brain. The doctor drew the fluid from the brain through the spinal column, continuing the treat ment for four days. The boy im- mediately after a treatment would brighten up and appear normal, but before the next day came around he would become almost unconscious again.
 Dr, Donnelly says that the boy will nrobably not be affected again in that manner, as the pressure on the brain has been relieved.

COAL DEALERS REDUCE
 PRICES 20 PER CENT
S16 Per Ton for Domestic Sizes Is Standard Price,
 Effective Today

New Britain coal dealers this morn ing announced drop of 20 per cent in the price of coal, although no one seems to be willing to guarantee that this price will last for any length of time.
 Due to the fact that the wage scale in the anthracite regions usually drops April 1, local dealers have talk en a chance that it will come down this year and have reduced prices $4 ton to meet it. This price is made possible by the fact that the decreased demand for coal makes it possible to purchase at this time only company coal, and independent or so-called bootleg" coal, which brings a higher price, either must come down to meet the company coal price or remain off the market.
 The Shurberg company announced a drop of s4 a ton in coal prices yes- terday and today practically all others have made the same announcement.
 Egg, stove and nut coal now costs s16 ton at Shurberg's, Citizens City Coal and Wood, Universal (for- merly Sovereign's), Berson Brothers and James P. Sullivan.
 Pea coal brings $14 a ton at all the places mentioned, except the Univer- sal, where $14.50 is being asked.

He took up evangelistic work while employed by the American Sheet and Tin Plate company at Pittsburgh. where he had worked since he was 14 years of age. He resigned $5,000 a year factory job to take up evangelistic work. At that time he was consid- cred good vocalist and was known as "The singing evangelist"
 When his voice showed signs of weakening, he gave up singing and took to preaching, which he has been, doing ever since. In October 1920 he came to New Britain to take charge of the Peoples church and under his guidance that church has grown and broadened until it has taken a stand among the more pro- gressive and active of the city's churches.
