laws, but for her own children. For no man or woman is ever placed in a more cruel position or one more fraught with bitterness and woe than that of the husband or wife who tries to keep the peace between moth CT and wife or husband. They are literally torn in twain between the two whom they love, to both of whom they owe duties, and between whom they are unable to decide, because there is misery each way.
 Many women are forced to live with their children, knowing that they are making trouble between their chil- dren and their husbands and wives, and wrecking all the peace and hap piness of the home, because they are spiritually dependent on their sons and daughters. They nave no other inter- est, no other life, but if they had married again they would not be re- duced to this spiritual bankruptcy.
 They would be busy with their own affairs. They would have their own domestic problems. They would have thier own men to look after and get along with, and they would not have time to meddle with their in-laws, nor to yield to the ever-present temptation to exercise their executive faculties in bossing their sons-in-law and daugh- ters-in-law.
 : It does not take long for children to grow up and go about the business of life on their own account. The widowed mother does well to realize that and to arrange her own life so that she will not be parasite upon her chill dren.

Many Greens Are Found On Spring
 Color Card I.

In the showing of advance models green stands out as one of the most important colors of the new season. Every possible shade appears, from the pale tint of the first budding leaves to dark shade of bottle green that prom ises to achieve an extraordinary vogue.
 There are several tones of this par ticular color, so that whether one is blond or brunette it is possible to find just the right shade to harmonize with ones complexion. This is rather an important point to emphasize, for the greens of other days were always bit trying Thanks to the color artists of the present time every color has so many different tones that there should not be any difficulty in selecting the appropriate tone.
 Used alone. it is chosen for exceed ingly smart frocks of cloth or of the new silk mohair that has taken the world of fashion by storm. In combi- nation with white it is unusually ef- fective and has inspired several charm ing models-of white crepe with folds or pipings of green. #s
 To wear with these frocks are tiny little cloche hats of green straw or felt, whose shape and brims differ somewhat from the hats of the season just past.
 One of the most interesting models is developed in green and wbite.SH Skirt. and pleated jacket are of green crepe de chine, while the waist is of white with a design worked out in green silk and silver thread.

QUOTED

"'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves, Did eyre and gimble on the wabe; All mimsy were the borogroves, And the nome raths outgrabe."
 LEWIS CARROLL.
 That a dignified university profes- sor of mathematics. and logic could write such nonsensical lines as those I have quoted from the "Jabberwocky' seems paradoxical as, indeed, it is. There are few minds that can switch from the ultra-serious to the ultra-ri- diculous; from discourses on Euclid and his Modern Rivals" and "Mathe- matica Curiosa" to such tales as are told in Alice in Wonderland" and Through the Looking Glass" It shows, however, as Stephen Leacock has proved, that extravagant drollery can be mated in single mind with an aptitude for mathematics and eco nomics.
 It is said that Carroll, who in reality was the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodson, told these fanciful tales to amuse the children of a friend before they were published that he found di-

FILM FABLES
Ry DON ALLEN

Once Upon Time there was an Author with the Right Idea. Sounds Strange, but even Big Movie Pro ducer, for the First Time, On or Off the Record. had Declared in Favor of Something New and had Thrown Open the Banks Vaults and told Noted Director to Blow The Works to Make Picture from the New Idea.
 Now. the Idea proved to be just, 99- and 44-100 per cent Pure and Sweet and there wasn't an Off-tint Scene or Suggestion in the Whole 6,500 feet of Film when the Picture was Finished.
 The Censors Slapped the Gypsies' Curse on the Picture Right from the Start when they O.K.'d it without a single Cut. The Public, when it learned the Picture Lacked Tabasco Saucs. Passed Right Along and Never Gave the Sweet Young Film Look Over.

 'I'll bet two nickles that the funny old man made those pancakes" :" the policeman finally said to himself. T must think of some way to arrest him, for now that know he is mean enough to change to change nice, kind-hearted Hoolygooly into little squealy pig. shall arrest the funny old man even if he does bite me! Even if he does tweek my nose and even if he does give me an exceedingly hard thump!''
 And the nice, kind fat policeman took out a red book which told how to be detectvie, for he wished to find a way to catch the funny old man and arrest him and rescue Raggedy Andy and Harry Hoolygooly.

 'Isn't it nice that the pancakes rolled right into our laps?" the nice fat po- liceman said; q was getting very hun- wry, wasn't you, Harry Hoolygooly ?"
 Indeed, I was!" Harry Hoolygooly said as he took a bite.
 Then, Harry Hoolygooly looked very funny!
 The nice fat policeman was just about to take bite of his pancake when he heard Harry Hoolygooly squeal just like little squealy pig, and, in deed. that was what the policeman saw when he looked at Harry Hoolygooly.

 And, indeed, Raggedy Andy could hear it very planily.
 When the two magical pan cakes had rolled into their laps, the nice fat policeman and Harry Hoolygooly did not know that the funny little old man had made them.
 Neither did they know that the pan cakes were magical pancakes.
 The pancakes did not look any diff ferent from any other kind of pan cakes. Of course, Harry Hoolygooly and the nice fat policeman wondered where the pancakes came from, but they did not know the funny old man

 His Father William" Cheshire Cat" and "walrus and the Carpenter, and how they feasted on the too-con- fiding oysters, and his Hunting the Shark,' which he call "An Agony in Eight Fits" have easily found their places in English classics, nonsensical though they be.

SHOPPING N MALAY

In the Malay market every seller di. vides his wares into parts costing half a cent-in American money. For this sum one can purchase handful of red peppers, or handful of large. rich nut kernels, or big cucumber or a guord for cooking, or two or three large bananas; or five or six small ones.
 It will also buy little saucerful of peanuts; or a cake of yeast bread as large as biscuit cake of sago bread the size of a sheet of note paper; a big bunch of greens :" large slice of raw fish little bowl of hot tea a portion of ready made curry stuff, intensely hot and spiced; a good saucerful of rice; dozen peeled chunks of sugar cane; three of four crisp banana frit- ters; or two large slices of breadfruit, deep fried in boiling vegetable oil.
 There is no end, in short, to what this little copper coin can buy. As for fruit, the market teens with it, and with vegetables of the gourd, potato and cabbage family.

 The funny old man winked at Raggedy Andy and chuekled, "I made two magical pancakes, and the pan cakes rolled out of the kitchen d o oor, around the house and right up on the po- liceman's and Harry Hoolygooly's la s. They both have a pan cake in their hands, and as soon as they take a bite, they will c h a nge into little squealy pigs !"

BEAUTY TALK
By DR. LILIIAN wHITNEy

Katherine k.-UnfOrtunately l can- not naswer your question through this column. If you will write again en- closing a stamped self-addressed en- yelope l will gladly give you. all the information at my command.
 G. A. D.-Read what I have just told Katherine K. The same applies to you in regard to your skin it is quite possible that you have not given it any treatment at all or if you have the results have not been what you expected. It is also possible and highly probable that your internal organs are not functioning as actively as they should. It is almost always the case in skin conditions like yours that the digestion is somewhat impaired through faulty diet and the intestinal tract sluggish. In other words, there is a degree of constipation. Now when you write me again for the information l cannot give you here, he sure to go can give you line of hygienic treat ment to follow.
 Curley-You also come under the advice given Katherine K,i and G. A. D. You all ask for something I can- not give you through this column. A girl of 19 years, standing feet 21a inches should not weigh more than 100 pounds, according to our present day standards. You can fill out your faces by pursuing certain facial exercises. Look for an article on this subject in an early issue. Yes, there is a 4fattening cream you might employ, but there is a possibility of superfluous hair growth in consequence of its use upon the face; therefore, hesitate to advise it. You can get the same results, even better results, by means of the exercises l will outline in an early paper.

ran afrontados a un nuevo problema y
del mas grave caracter. Un million de

trega un dinero que a duras penas bas-
ia para cubrir SUI subsistancia. Esta
gente irevitablemente ha de. cansarse
algdn dfa. Y cuales son las perspecti-
vas de la absorci6n?
Uno de los misterios de la actual fall
ia de trabajo es que, despecho de
la depression comercial, ell niimero de
obreros hoy trabajando en- las grandes
industries britanicas es igual al que
trabajaba en- Ell pr6spero afio que sigui6
inmediatamente a la guerra. Cual es
la explicaci6n de este? Menos hcras de
trabajo en- muchas irnportantes indus
trias, v, en- algunos ramos del conner
clio, viciosa lentitud en- la production,
necesitandose ''mas'' brazos para
s'menos' labor.
En- los Estados Unidos la produc-
ci6n por obrero ha aumentado en- los
iiltimos. aiios. Esto es en- grande parte
debido al progreso de. Ia maquinaria
de economizar trabajo y al acrecenta-
miento del uso de la energia electrical.
En- la Gran Bretafia, despecho de los
