The Rhyming
Optimist
Explorers
BY Aline Michaelis

There was one who went out into
lands far away, through strange fields
never marked by trail, with no CLINT
of sail on the frozen bay where the
ice floes glimmcred pale. He followed
the lights of the Northern sky into
regions remote, afar; into pallid lands
where life's forces die close under the
white North Star. And into the
desert he made his way, where the
endless sands CLEAN white; he dwelt
in the jungle where palm trees sway
and the bulbul sings by night. There
was one who stayed in the placid place
where he first saw the light of day,
where every face was a friendly face
and each was n familiar way. Yet he
plumbed strange deeps that none other
knew, climbed to heights like the great
Alps's span; for the soul has its brave
explorers, too, and his field was the
soul of man.

Meditations of
a Wife
A Mans Best Press Agent.
By Helen Rowland

A woman is only a worhan-but n
loyal wife is a mans best press agent.
A loyal wife is one who spends half
her time trying 10 convince the world
that her husband is a wonderland
the other half trying to convince him
that he's NOT.
A loyal wife will always rise
promptly to her husbands defense in
an argument. a quarrel or n point of
judgment-even though she may go
home afterward and tell him how ''un-
reasonable he is.
"The King-right or wrong" Is
her slogan, in public-cven though in
private. she may be impelled to urge
him For heavens sake, to use little
more common sense!"
A loyal wife always stoutly boasts
that her husbands motives, acts and
Judgment are ailable-even
though she sometimes wonders private
ly "why he DID it."
She will valiantly maintain her al
legiance to the stand he has taken on
the City Council or in the community
feud-even while she privately i'm
plores him to be less pig-headed.
She will swear without culver
that he never touches anything
stronger than water''-and then go
home and sniff his breath and gaze
into the whites Of his eyes, to see il
she is right.
She will "tcll the world" that he Is
the best husband on earth-even
though. there are sinister moments,
when she can't help reminding him that
"she might have done better"
She will lie to anybody and every
body, to protect him from the result
of his folly-and then lie to HIM in
order not to shatter his illusions or
shake his faith in himself.
She will stick to him through thick
and never desert him through thin
and all she asks is that he will TRY
to look and act like the glorified pic
ture she paints of him.
All she requires is that he will re-
main sin character" while she does
the ballyhooing, and insists that th1
world shall have twice as much faith
in his wisdom. integrity and genius,
as she has, herself.

Fashions Fads
and Fancies
By Mildred Ash

The rate of exchange must be going
up, to judge by the great demand for
gold and silver. The gold and silver
ruthlessly expended by French design
ers represents only mock extravaganza,
for it is but gilded and silvered
leather, lavishly used to trim velvet
frocks, coats and hats. Bindings, belts
and collars, landings, initials and nov
city motifs all play an important part
in trimming the latest Partisan i'm

Alarmingly atmospheric are the new
cobweb hose for evening wear. So
sheer are these round mesh, silk net
stockings that they almost threaten to

most exquisite thing in dressy
hosiery.

evening gowns has q triangular point

throat, and there is Joined to a jew

nothing to talk about!
Wool has winning ways of decorat-
ing the latest purses. Made in soft
bags, these stunning models show
charming bits of wool crocet. applique
or embroidery in most colorful designs.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
Writing to Two Brothers
By Beatrice Fairfax.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
/ was out of town for my vacation
a year ago and met two nice brothers.
/ had a very enjoyable time with
them and for just about a year I've
been corresponding with one of them.
The older brother was visiting at
our house and 1 think he took a
great interest in me, yet he didn't
write. L am still writing to the
younger and receiving letters from
him.
His letters are quite interesting and
yet 1 don't know whether L should
keep this up or drop him. Will you
please give me your advice?
ANNA.
Why should you not keep up the
correspondence? There seems to be
no reason why you should not be d
good friend to both young men.

AMBITIOUS GHOSTS

The young son of the former em- press of Austria is to become the reigning prince under suzeraignty of a Hohenzollern monarch, of com bined Austro-German empire-when, and if any such empire is ever set up. This interesting piece of news comes by cable from Vienna and the minister of private fortunes of the Hapsburgs in Austria has been removed from his unofficial office for revealing this in formation. The eXiled Empress Zita is very angry with her minister This all sounds very foolish in the year 1925, and it is even more foolish than it sounds. The Hapburgs and Hohen- zollerns are as out-of-date as hoop skirts and Dundreary whiskers.
 The one place in the world where their pretensions are taken seriously, is among the social elite of the Uni ted States of America

RELIGIOUS SCHOOLING BY MAIL TRIED FOR ISOLATED CHILDREN

CHICAGO, Nov. 5. (P)-Religious instruction by mail for children in isolated and rural districts is the solution of the problem of those who live too far to attend Sunday School regularly, in the opinion of Miss Vera L.

tiful sense of protection in his
presence, and if she conveyed to
him the impression that she had
conferred a privilege in accepting
him as a husband, she also con-
veyed the idea that she valued the
husband. Humphrey was not a
slavish lover; he was as gallant as
any Elizabethan courtier, but there
was splendid firmness about his

nothing in the shape of luxury;
every want of hers was gratified
