Some Exclamation

EET DON'T see why you always have
 another engagement when l say
 that my friend Pansy Hart is coming over to see mel" aggrievedly began the girl who did so want her brother to get married and settle down. "She is a perfectly lovely girl, even though the average person might not say that she was a beauty"
 "You are approaching the root of the difficulty" said the wary brother, keeping on in his preparations for an evening anywhere away from home. II don't care in the least that your friend Pansy has one of those hopeless faces which observers forget just as soon as they are able, saying rapidly to them selves Mono, it cannot be possible
 q guess can appreciate a girls true worth and all that sort of stuff, but Ill tell you just why it is I run like a rabbit from Pansy. It is be- cause there is nothing on earth so dread full as a hopelessly homely girl who persists in acting as though she were a beauty. Just that.
 If girl is just moderately homely she may be able to get away with that sort of stunt. When the man she is archly talking to gets occasional glimpses of perky expressions and ob- serves that even though her eyes are too light, her lashes are quite long and that there is a hint of a dimple when sbe laughs, he doesn't get irritated. But when a girl is downright homely she certainly is a goose to try and perform as though she had all the movie beau- ties beaten a mile.
 "If she were actually smart she'd capitalize her homeliness and charm in a totally different manner than that of her pretty sister.

Designing Play Suit For
 Summer

THILDREN are in need of new
 clothes so often that we never take
 the trouble to have them diff ferent or original. Usually there is just the usual old sailor suit or version of it or little things full of buttons and string ties. It seems ridiculous to have so many buttons on a child's suit when elastic can hold pants up just as well and can't get lost. The smock-like blouse is long enough to cover the dirty spots that is sure to get on the pants, and has roomy pockets for all the necessary equipment of tops and balls and marbles. It is also deco rative and amusing with it's dark blue circles on the light green background and blue collar, cuffs and bindings. The material is heavy quality blocked cretonne that is washable and strong. The trousers are bound around the bot ton with blue and made very broad iii the seat so the ewearer can climb trees without embarrassment An elastic is run through the hem at the top of the pants to keep them safely in place. No undervest or suspender at- tachment is needed and so the costume is fine for warm weather.

Are Your Feet Failing From
 Motonitis?

THIROPODISTS say that the foot,
 both efficient and beautiful, is go-
 ing back on us, that it has been gathering momentum for collapse for a long time, ever since it stopped clinging to tree trunks, especially since it has been put into stiff shoes in the inter- ests of civilization, says Vogue. And the trouble lies, according to them, in the fact that the foot is simply not given enough work to keep its 38 joints busy.
 As result, 1t is not so strong as it was formerly, which means that it falls into bad habits more easily. And chief among such habits is faulty posture. A well known chiropodist says that three fourths of all the foot troubles come from this condition. Also, the foot will continue to grow weaker if 1t is not exercised. Given a combination of faulty posture and lack of exercise, no foot can combat it. Such combination conquers all and brings in its wake fallen arches, contracted tendons, en- AulSCu JOlHLS1 AcSI HI 4dCtB dAA the ills the pedal extremities are heir to. So it is plain that if woman would have feet that will serve her with out protest she must give attention to their posture and exercise.
 For correct posture, there is iust one thing to remember-keep the feet straight ahead when walking and sit ting down. In general, the feet should be turned slightly in rather than out. Catch yourself in a favorite position, and find out what the feet are doing. You will be surprised to learn how many incorrect positions your feet take daily. You may put your weight on the inside of the foot, thus bringing undue pres sure to bear upon the greater arch; you may rest on the ball of the foot, elevat- ing the heel and putting strain on the lesser arch.
 Or, perhaps, you wrap your foot around the leg or rung of your chair. Many of the most delightful positions are the worst possible for the feet. And the weaker the feet, the more easily they take these positions and are hurt by them. Twisted joints in weak foot simply don't snap back the way they should. So, at intervals during the day take your feet in hand. Every woman is the best reformatory for her own feet. She alone can keep them straight.
 And now, about exercise. A certain amount of walking is absolutely essen- tial. Feet that step only in and out of motors cannot expect a very long or very happy life. In addition, there are three simple exercises that will do won ders for the feet. Two of them may be taken in bed. For the first, which strengthens the arch under the instep, bring in the toes from the ankle until they touch. Then bend the entire foot upward. In the second, which strength ems the arch in the, ball of the foot, simply turn the feet up as far as they will go and then turn the toes down. The third exercise is taken out of bed and is for the benefit of the tendon at the back of the heel. Stand with the feet straight ahead. Bend the knees forward as far as possible.

0na Mother Save.

Une MOther says.
 On the very hottest days I keep the young children in the house after the mornings coolness has departed and allow them to run about unclothed. ] keep a small tin bath, containing tepid water in which a handful of soda has been dissolved, on the kitchen floor and they hop in and out at will. After a light lunch they can sleep comfortably in a cool, darkened room.

For it to be known that a young man is engaged in a love affair with another mans wife blights his prospects with those who sit in high places and have favors to give. No man would pick such young man for a position of trust. No one would have any faith in his honesty. No one would trust his good judgment, his self-control, his discretion.

 circumstances as women are.
 The wife who loses her husband gen. erally loses her means of livelihood at the same time. Many a discarded wife lives in penury while her successful rival rolls around in the limousine that once was hers, but when a man is abandoned by a faithless wife 1t does not affect his ability to provide himself with creature cOfforts.
 Moreover, a woman's home means much more to her than home means to a man, so that its ruin involves more of her happiness than it would his. Lastly, but not least, the deserted hus- band can always comfort himself and establish a new home, but this consola- tion prize is not open to woman un- less she is very young and good-look- ing, The middle aged woman who has lost her beauty and her figure and her husband is done for.
 So, to make a nice point of de-
 grees in guilt, the man home-wreck-
 CT is a shade or two winter than
 the woman home-wrecker. But no
 matter how you look at it, it is a
 dastardly business, and one in
 which there is neither honor nor
 profit nor happiness for those who
 engage in it.
 It is generally held that only
 women have to pay for what we
 call the crimes of passion,. and
 that the man sinner goes scot free,
 but this is not true. True, women
 pay the heaviest price, but all who
 dance must settle sooner or later
 with the piper, and the bill that he
 presents to many man bankrupts
 him, body and soul.
 Of course, wife-stealing is a safer sport now than it was in the strenuous days in which a man defended the honor of his household with his good right hand, and lover risked his life when he went poaching on his neigh bor's preserves. The worst that is like hly to happen to the love theft nowadays is to be cited as correspondent in a di vorce and sued for alienation of the af fections, but these can avenge a hus bands wrong more relentlessly than death itself.

I certainly do not. It is perhaps not such a wicked thing for a man
 to break up an- other mans home and take his wife from him, as it is for a woman to wreck another wO- mans home and rob her of her hus- band, because men are never quite as helpless and forlOrn

This often removes the obstruction. It is a mistake to take any fluid with view to dis lodge the intruder. Masticate a piece of bread thoroughly, and when it is swallowed most likely the bone will be released.

 Forbidden fruit may be sweet, but at the last it is dust and ashes in the teeth, and no man can find the happiness in love affair with a married woman that he would find in one with some free and fresh young girl. However beauti- full and fine the romance may have looked in the beginning, it soon has bedrabbled skirts if it is splashed with lies and deceit, and if it must walk the murky ways of secret meetings in sordid places. Fear chills the kisses on their lips Scandal and disgrace grimace at them over each otber's shoulders, and as they go away from their stolen rendezvous their very souls are scorched with the shame of what they have done. They know none of the peace, nor pride of love that glOrifies life instead of defiling it.
 Also the man who is in love with a married woman is the slave of the fiercest jealousy that any one ever knows. Just because the woman who loves him has no rightful hold upon him; just because she cannot claim him as her own and defend her prop erty; just because she cannot openly seek him out.
 No other man has to endure such scenes as she makes when he pays some attention to young girl. No other man has so to wear himself out pro- testing his loyalty, combating suspicion l; no other man lives in such terror of a woman nor gets so tired of her as does the man who is bound to a woman by their common sin.
 And what is the end or it? AL ways misery. Never happiness. If / the affair drags along, in time it becomes ball and chain about his feet. It cuts him off from mar riage and establishing a home of his own, and dooms him to lonely bachelorhood.
 If the husband divorces her, and he marries the woman, he never trusts her, for he knows that honor is homer and faith is faith, and that the woman who is false to one man will be false to another.
 Such is the price the man pays for his under-the-rOse romance. It is d bad bargain every time.

heard men saying, Leave hope and praying,
All days shall be all have been;
Today and tomorrow bring fear and sorrow,
The ending toll between.
When Earth was younger mid toll and hunger
In hope strOve, and hands strong;
Then great men led us, with words they fed US,
And babe right the earthly wrong
Go read in story their deeds and glory,
Their. amidst the nameless dead;
Turn then from lying to us slow-dying
In that good world to which they led
Where fast and faster iron master,
The thing made, forever drives
Bids grind treasure and fashion pleasure
For other hopes and other lives.
Where home is a hovel and dull we groveI,
Forgetting that the world is fair.
Where hate cherish lest its very soul perish:
Where mirth is crime, and love snare.
Who shall lead us, what god shall heed
As we lie in the hell our hands have won.
For rulers but fools and befoOIers,
The great fallen, the wise men gone.
l heard saying, Leave and praying,
The sharp knife heedeth not the sheep;
Are not stronger than the rich and the wrOnger,
When day breaks over dreams and sleep?
Come shoulder shoulder the world grows older!
Help lies in nOught but thee and me;
Hope is before u.s. the long years that bore
Bore leaders more than men may be.
Let dead hearts tarry and trade and marry.
And trembling their dreams of mrth
While the living our lives giving
To bring the bright new world to birth.
Come, shoulder to shoulder, ere earth grows older!
The Cause spreads land and sea;
Now the world shaketh, and fear awaketh,
And Joy at last for thee and me.
