Advises Com panionship in Play as We'll
 as in Work

of monotonous tasks that call for so little thought she almost did them automatically should desire to have some excitement brought into her existence. She longs for something to give a new turn to her thoughts something to put pep into her mush- and-milk diet. So she wants to put on her pretty frocl< and go forth where there is laughter and gayety and music.
 And it is equally easy to see why her husband. who has been working to grapple with hundred new thoughts and problems. wants to spend his evening away from his fellow men in peace and silence.
 One should say that the solution of the difficulty between this couple would be for the wife to so arrange her affairs that she could get her amusement in the afternoons. Surely there are enough hen luncheons and matinees and bridges and tea dances to give any woman all the diversion she needs without encroaching upon her husbands evenings at home.
 Often. though, it is the husband who wants to go and the wife who wants to stay at home. Sometimes these men are pleasure-m mad: some llu1PS they Ilnu that the pest way to relax from the strain under which they work is by chasing around to theatres and restaurants and dances. and. unlike women, they cannot take their amusements In the daytime when they are attending to business, so it must be in the evening.
 Now. logically, there is no more reason why husband should not stay at home with his wife if she is q home body than there is why she should spend her evenings across the droplight from him if he is 8 hearth warmer. But, alas. there is neither rhyme nor reason in matrimony. Things simply are. and you have to meet them on that basis.
 Therefore. the fact remains that If woman is married to the type of man who has to be continually the amusement job instead of letting him find some other play-fellow. If he wants to go of an evening, she must either go with him or lose him, for while only wife is willing to work with man and help him make 2 his money there are thousands of women ready to help him spend 1t.
 Husbands are safe enough in the daytime at their places of business, but when they go out of an evening to enjoy themselves they need to be chaperoned as tactfully and thor oughly as debutante flapper.
 The people who are closest to us and to whom VIC are bound with the strongest ties are those with whom we play.

CHAPTER g


 Winifred Scott and Mary Dallas breakfasted together the following morning in the great dining room that was usually full of chatterlns girls.
 The pair sat at a table with Mss Hall and two of the teachers who were to leave this morning.
 T shall stay and see the last of all of you but Miss Hal." Winifred remarked. Then l shall take taxi to the station and train to New York. 1 want to get home Tn time for luncheon-although father Will not expect me until he sees me
 She happened to look at Miss Hall as she spoke and noticed pc .culiar expression on that ladNss coun- tenance In fact Winifred now ap- trreciated that the prla~ipa. had been strangely silent and reserved during the meal just ended And, IS she ob- served tlfis, Miss Halls eyes met hers.
 The older woman changed color and pushed her chair back from the table.
 "Winifred," she said in low breakfast, 1 wish you would come into the office. ] want to peak The feeling of fear that had as sailed Winifred in the mindinght hour seized her now. Without word, she followed the principal down the hall 10 the office at the rear e. the house.
 Here Miss Hall closed the door, and. turning. drew the girl to her. My dear" she said hurrieGly. T have news for you. It came an hour ago. There was no need to tell you until you had breaktasted. You must try 10 be brave.
 Winifrcd wrcnehed herself rom the gentle embrace.

 Mss Hall nodded.
 He has been taken ill?'
 Yes. ,., Let me go to him at ouce-piease: The girl begged. "Oh, why did you let me &ait until after breakfast! :! He may be wondering why do not come to him..

Have the stranger in question in tell you in which of the upright columns the first letter of his name Is contained. It it is found in but one column. it is the top letter; If it occurs in more than one column it is found by adding the alphabetical numbers of the top letters of the columns in which 1t Is found. the sum being the number of the letter sought. By taking one letter at a time, in way outlined above, . the whole word or name can be easily spelled out.
 Take the word Jane for example, J Is found in two columns beginning with B and H. which are the second and eighth letters in tho alphabet: their sum is ten. nd the tenth letter in the alphabet is J. the letter sought. The next letter. A, appears in but one column. the first where it stands at the head N IS in the columns headed R, D end Fl, which a the sec, i'd. fourth and eigth let ters of the alphabet; added, they give the fourteenth. or x, and so on.

Married Couples Face Amusement Problem
Dorothy Dir
If You Are Wise You'll Arrange Your Play Time Ac-
 cording to Hubby's Idea of Spending the Evening

It is a vivid illustration of the contrariness of human nature tha, all the men who like to run around and amuse themselves of an evening seem to have married Alice sit by the-fire. while all the women NAo are natural born gadders appear to have espoused husbands who can't be pried away from their own hearthstones with crowbar
 Everywhere you go there is a wall from the women
 T never get to go anywhere be- cause my husband simply will no; go out of an evening, and l just adore going"
 Or: The first thing my husband says when he comes in of an evening is: Well. what's on the cards for tonight? Where are We going? What are we going to do? And I'd give anything to stay quietly at home with my book.
 And a yeip from the men:
 My wife wears me out dragging me around to fool parties at night By George, 1 envy the fellows who can spend an evening in their own easy chairs with their pipe and paper, and hit the hay at 10 o'clock.
 
 with me. She never wants to go anywhere. She won't trot around with me, so l have to go by my lonesome. Her idea of a hilarious evening is sitting up listening to the kiddies sleep. But me for the bright lights"
 And there you are, and how to rec oncile-the irreconcilable tastes of the married is one of the great problems of family life. Of course it is a case where an ounce of prevention would have been better than many pounds of cure. If only the rounders would marry the rounders, and the stay putters espouse the stay-putters, it would save many domestic arSu- ments and tears and scraps.
 They don't, however.
 There is something in gay young blade that makes an irresistible ap- peal before marriage to quiet. mousey little girl; and something in her quiet. little homestaying ways that makes a hit with him. There is something in the joy of life of the girl who dances holes in her stock ings that vamps the man who Is q staid old plodder, and there is some thing in his steadfastness that ap- peals to her mercurial temperame mt. And so they get married and fight 1t out.
 Sometimes accidents will happen men and women are lucky enough or wise enough. to marry in their own class and get fireside compan. ions or running mates according to their tastes. When that occurs we have those ideal couples who golf happily together. or fox trot together in the cabarets, or toast their toes on the same radiator or spend their evenings in thrilling heart-to heart talks about the grocery trade.
 Unfortunately. such congenial couples are rare. Most husbands and wives can agree enough on their workaday schedule, but when they come to their amusement program they hold diametrcally opposite views as to what constitutes a pleas ant and agreed ble evening.
 It is easy enough to understand why the woman who has been shut up in a house all day and whose work has been performing a series

CALL FOR MORE NUT TREES
According to Chicago Publication,
> Their Value Has in a Great De-
gree Been Passed Over.

Some years ago a householder La
Portland, Ore, planted eight Seeding
Persian walnut trees along the street
In front Of his residence. Now, he has
all the nuts his family can use during
the year, divides with the boys Of the
neighborhood on their own terms, and
sells what are left for almost enough
to pay his taxes.
This tale, vouched for by the presi-
dent Of the American Tree association,
is told as preliminary to question ::
Do folks Of the Middle West, in plant
ing ornamental trees and shrubs, pay
enough attention to fruits and nuts
particularly the latter?
One may doubt 1t. The climatic
zone near the lakes does not favor Per-
sian walnuts or pecans, but the black
walnut and hickory do well. They
make noble trees, as beautiful as the
best, and their nuts, though harder to
crack than some, are we'll worth the
trouble. The f1lbert or hazelnut Is a
beautiful shrub, and when planted In
sunny locations yields well. The beech
does not take overwell to civilization
and town life, but on large suburban
places it should do well, It's beauty Is
Of unique, striking kind, and its Curl
GUS three-cornered nuts are Joy to
the children.
Why not plant nuts?

In every way to keep within them the

Cotton Growing Area
Slowly Moving North
FROSTS THAT KILL ALSO FROST
FREE PERIODS LONG ENOUGH
TO GROW NEW VARIETY


With cotton selling at more than 81
cents a pound, and with steadily in
creasing boil weevil damage to South
ern cotton, Northern farmers within
territory having a frost-free period of
not less than $50 days will try their
hand at cotton-growing this year
Cotton takes about 100 to 140 days
from time of planting to mature bolls
under favorable conditions. Some cot
ton opens 120 days after planting.
Early maturing varieties have been
perfected which may play a large role
in extending the cotton belt north
ward and westward.
Cotton already is grown in new
Western territory, where it is free
from injurious cotton pests and most
of it is under irrigation. However,
there is a large field for drouth-with-
standing cotton varieties, which ma
ture with 20 to rs inches of rainfall
and which can be grown in semi-arid
regions having a fertile soil.
There is vast region in the United
States Immediately north Of the pre-
sent cotton belt which has an average
frost-free growing period of not less
than 100 to 100 days extending from
the Panhandle of Texas through
Southern Kansas into Central Mis-
souri,, Southeastern Illinois, Southern
Indiana and Ohio and eastward to the
Alleghenies. From Northern Virginia
this same line runs through Southern
Maryland all of Delaware Southern
New Jersey, lower Pennsylvania,
Southern Massachusetts and even
Long Island.
New cotton gins have been erected
in parts of Missouri this year in pre-.
paration for the coming crop. South
ern Illinois around Cairo has cot
ton-growing excitement Of magnitude
and so has Southern Ohio along the
Ohio and Scioto Rivers.
There is a world shortage of cot
ton of more than 100000 bales, due
largely to the increasing damage from
the cotton boil weevil which can not
be controlled successfully with pre-
sent methods.
1t is becoming more hazardous To
raise cotton in the Old South and
farmers along the edges Of the pre-
sent cotton belt, where at present
there are no weevils and where the
winters are cold enough to kill them
and keep them from getting establish
ed are going to venture raising cotton
In 1921 the weevil did $600,000000
damage to the cotton crop.
The country will watch cotton grow
ing in new territory with much inter-
est, and it is not at all impossible
that cotton will not form a part Of
regular farm practice in many states
which never before grew the staple.
