Answer: Perhaps you are right
| Certainly middle-aged people VINO oo
not go around very much, ana nave
few acquaintance, have small cnance
| to meet the kind of men and women
that would make them good husbands
and wives.
Married people who do not go much
| in society are apt to narrow their CIR
! Gle down to a very few lntlmdlc
| friends, and so when either a nus
band or a wife dies, the widow or the
widower finds that he or she knows
virtually no one but married couples,
| and that their chances of remarrylng
are very small since they have no
wav of breaking out Of their little
group.
Undoubtedly an attractively word
! ed advertisement would bring to any
man or woman many seekers after
soft matrimonial jobs, but the scheme
is fraught with danger. The chances
are that most of the applicants would
be fraudS-men and women who were
| lazy, and who prefer to marry for
| living rather than work for one
men and women who are so undeslr-
able that no one wanted them where
| they are known.
Besides, the applicant who might
fill the bill and come up to all out
ward requirements might yet lack
every inward quality that would
make him or her a good husband Or
wife. A man might be honest, indus
trious and sober. and yet be cruas
and brutal in his nature. A woman
might be virtuous and thrifty and
good housekeeper, yet have the tenn
per of a Virago. Every character ref
erence that a man and woman might
give might he 0. K, and yet their
dispositions be so mean and cantan-
kerous that they would make miser-
| able whoever had to live with them.
1t is never safe to marry any one
who is a stranger to you. You have
to know an individual long and well
before you can form any idea as to
! whether he or she would prove a
good yOkemate. And even then YOU
often guess wrong. So the idea of
getting a husband or wife by adj
vertising for one is a risky expert
ment that | do not advise you to try.

For most bronchitics light or medium

the two or three hot months of the

or mostly wool with stockings of SIM

layers should be worn over the chest
or any other portion of the body. For
outdoor life in very cold weather it is
better to put on two light suits of
underwear or to depend on such ad-
ditional warmth as extra outer cloth
ing gives. Instead of being a protec-
tion indoors, excessively heavy under

What Today Means to You|
Cancer.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Todays planetary aspects are mega
tive rather than positive, although
toward the latter part of the eve
ming they become decidedly adverse.
The day is favorable for performi
minor tasks which have been in
either neglected or unfinished. No
new undertaking should be attempt
ed, unless it is in connection with
your ordinary routine work. In the
evening all argument, so far as pos
sible, should be avoided, as conditions
somenees and acriminous sentiment.
A child born today win be blessed
with strong constitution and Wig
orous health. Not for this reason,
however, must it's physical care be
neglected, although it will not de-
mand the meticulous supervision
which is essential for other children.
The child's disposition will be bois-
lucky" 1t will not shine at school
studies, but will show decided
preference for outdoor sports and
recreations. 1t will be fearless Of
consequences.
Is today your birthday? You have
much in your character that COM
mands respect and invites affection.
Your disposition Is affable, and your
personality attractive. You could go
long way on these assets, IL it were
not for an inclination to be exaggera-
tive, which is an ever-present liability.
Your exaggeration assumes many
forms, such as diplomacy, expediency
and moral reservation. Sometimes
it assumes the form of equivocation
or moral dodging-twisting and so
stating the things said as to convey
false impreSsion-a kind of lying
which a Frenchman once described
as walking round about the truth"
Sometimes it exhibits itself in
reticency on the one hand. or exag-
geration on the other; in disguise or
concealment In pretended concurrence
in others opinions; in assuming an
attitude. Of conformity which is de-
ceptive in making promises, or allow
ing them to be implied, which are
never intended to be performed, or
even in refraining from speaking the
truth when to do so Is a duty.

And simple truth their utmost skill"

Circular Skirt for Sportswoman
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Certainly no one could say that the
circular skirt idea had met with any
very enthusiastic reception. There
are at most only circular tenden-
cies." and circular effects" that do
little to detract from the perfect
parallel of our pencil silhouette. For
we still all aspire to be pencils ap-
parently. To be sure we cannot all
be slender. but what bulk we have
must be fattened out into the perfect
parallel of a pencil-a stout chunky
carpenters pencil perhaps, but still
a pencil
No, there really has been little
room for the circular skirt in most
OF our clothes. There is just one
exception. 1t is fashion that
has come in by the country club
door. We may have none of the
circular skirt for dance frocks, for
suits, for afternoon frocks-but the
SKIRT that is uncompromisingly cir
cular is the choice OF the best-dressed
young woman for sports at the pres
ent time. Perhaps it is a frank admis-
sion that the wrap-around skirt was
not quite suitable.
The circular sport skirt shown IN
the sketch is of yellow flannel, fitting
tightly around the hips. The circular
enect which gives considerable full
ness about the hem is due to triangu-
lar godets at the sides. 1t is worn
with yellow flannel vest bound with
black-this vest striking a new note
In its tendency to fit snugly around
the waist.
Quite the latest trick among the
makers of smart sport skirts is to
finish these flannel sport skirts
around the waist for all the world
as If they were trousers-narrow
strapped belt at the back AMI all.
Interestingly enough there is lit
tie inclination now to wear the sepa-
rate sport skirt dropped to the hips.
Undoubtedly this is because such
an arrangement was practically i'm
possible to any but very few slea-
der women. Now the skirt is frankly
worn as low as possible at the nor
NAL" waistline and when the tuck in
blouse is worn-aS it frequently is
the line between blouse and skir. is
spanned or covered by a wide belt
sometimes of bright colored stripe
