Although it takes more than one
swallow to make summer, one
chicken will make the meat menu for
at least three summer days. Because
of its usefulness in next-day and day
after dishes, chicken is one of the most
economical rs well as ono of the most
desirable Of hot weather meats. OF
course, in this case chicken refers to
the roasting chicken of three or four
pounds weight and not to the delicate
broiler whose whole weight will scarce

real luxury and pleasure which a

professional beauty; but nothing
makes her feel so insulted as to have
him rave over another woman who is
no younger nor prettier than she is.
Perhaps, that STRAIN" so many
hard working married men suffer from,
comes from pulling at their hawsers,
after they have docked in the harbor OF
matrimony.
Nature is wise and kind when she
blows the star-duSt of desire into a
mans eyes, so that he can't see where
he's going when a woman leads him
into matrimony.
Some husbands are just inconsider-
ate enough to get sick and threaten
to pass on to a better world, the year
that their wives have gone in for red.
To many married man, autumn,

How some girls enjoy being miser-
able! Their one enthusiasm is telling
their troubles. And always the great
point brought out is that they them
selves arc not to blame. They arc
martyrs to the shortcomings of other
people.
Agnes SAYS John broke her heart
and she means never to forget or DC
happy again. Certainly it's pretty
hard for any one else to be happy
when Agnes is around.
Betty prides herself on her unpopu..
Iarity. It's dreadful being left out OF
everything. But her self-respect and
high ideals are all that prevents her
from being popular like those dreadful
flappers! -,
Mrs. Smith is a martyr to her hus-
band, her homework and her children.
There is nothing in life for her but
drudgery she will tell you. Certainly
she looks the part Of the down-troddcn
"slayey." No one ever sympathizcS
with Mr.. Smith who has to endure
dowdy, resigned, fearful Mrs. Smith
year in and year out. Yet isn't he the
martyr rather than she:
I'D have you know I'm not cheap
flapper! How dare you insult me
No gentleman would do such a thing!
With this and similar TRADES Martha
used to reproach any ight-hearted
escort who under the spell Of her prct-
tiness and the moonlight, might i'm
pulsiyely ask for a kiss.
OF course Martha never was trou'
bled a second time with attention from
a youth who received this response to
his foolish but thoughtless suggestion
No wonder Martha is rapidly har-
denins into what used to be termed a
sour old maid" 1t never occurs to
Martha that you can refuse a kiss so
tactfully and charmingly that you are
liked twice as well for the refusal.
Martha's ugly temper and tactless'
abrupt manner drive men away. But
she thinks she's unpopular simply be-
cause she's superior 70 every one
around her. She considers herself
martyr because Of her fine character

Many a man, who has been "wound
around a woman's finger" has UNI
ravelled with startling swiftness, the
moment he found that he could pull
loose.
Husbands and motor cars are alike
in lots of things; but you can't make
a woman believe that when she puts
on the brakes they are apt to skid
the worst.
In the matter of marriage, the "age
of consent" may be eighteen for a
girl-but no man ever actually goes
TO the altar with his own consent be-
fore he is at least eighty.
Somehow, when a woman hears her
husbands stenographer talking to him
in that just-between-you-and-me" sort
of way about things that his wife
doesn't understand, it always makes
her want to get right up and assert her
authority, by pushing back his fore
lock and running her fingers through
his hair.

self and realizes her failure is her own
fault, due to her shyness, plain looks
or lack of charm, as the case may be.
For such a girl, using the good sense
she was born with. can do much to
overcome the impcdiments that stand
between her and popularity and love.
But what chance is there for girl
who feels that she's a martyr and has
failed simply because she's too refined
too pure or idealistic for the common
pcOple she is thrown with in life
She's too self-righteous and self-satis-
fled to make the effort needed to at
tain success and attract love.
Being a martyr Is a futile attitude
toward life. Being a CHEEKY brave GO
getter is the spirit that wins love, hus'
band and happy home.
The real martyrs of history were
doubtless merry. charming folk. They
could afford to be happy. They had q
peaceful conscience and vision of q
glorious truth and high principle to
sustain them. Even death could have
no terrors for people who had such
wonderful truth TO live and die for.
Abraham Lincoln, our martyr presi'
ucnl, always COuiu pauSS u -"
his unselfish labor to tell an amusing
story or listen to and laugh at good
Joke. Bernard Shaw explains that
the martyrs thrown to the lions in an.
cient Rome chatted pleasantly and
smiled as their fatal hour approached,
1t was their cheeriness that helped at
tract the emperor of Rome to the faith
that so sustained them.
It's the most wonderful thing in the
world TO have high principles and live
up to thcm--to be n truly womanly
woman of honor. But don't conclude
that you shouldn't be happy, gay,
charming and agreeable as well as
good.
Men, it is true, try to choose a vile
who is good and true. But they also
like life companion who is a good
pal, good company-an agreeable, at
tractive companion.
Goodness combined with good sense,
humor and n pleasant disposition will
prove an open sesame to the heart OF
the one man, winning and holding his
love throughout the years of marriage.

The Rhyming
Optimist
Our Need.
By Aline Micnaelis.

Gracious gifts life brings to us,
Needless what we plead, kindly songs
she sings to us, knowing well our
need. We are children wandering in
an unknown land, on its puzzles pom
dcring, fain to understand. Often
we may ask of life boons we never
gain, often many task of life brings
us care and pain. Childlike, we
would take the ways faircst to our
sight; always we forsake the ways
touched by sorrows blight. Child
like, We would plead for joy, asking
sun and song that can quench this
need for joy, ever keen and strong.
But lifc's boOns are many-hued as
the opal's fires; there are gifts for
any mood, matching all desires. Some
are gifts of shining hours, some are
dark indeed, so life fills these days
of ours, knowing well our need.

Some Pointers
on Manners
An Engagement Well
Broken.
BY Mrs. Beeckman
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l will be % next month. | have
been going about with a man seven
years my senior for two and a half
years. and have been engaged to him
two years. l have broken my en-
gagcment. ...-
This young man earned 500 a week
when l started to 90 with him. Now
he earns SOS a week. l tried to help
him secure better positions during our
courtship. But every time he was
about to get better job he would
make some excuse for not taking it..
For instance, he would say the work
was too hard for him.
When we became engaged I said l
would marry him as soon as he
earned enough money, but not before.
To this he agreed, but now he wants
to marry me and have me work in an
office and help him to pay for a
course of study that will enable him
to make more money later on.
| decided that the best thing to do
was to break off before it was too
late. Am L right in this decision?
A young man at my place of bust
ness has taken an interest in me. lie
is bashful. Would you think it for
ward of me to give n little birthday
party next month and ask him? What
should say in inviting him?
LONESOME A.
You were quite justified in break
ing the engagement, since your fiancc
has not shown any keen desire to adj
vance in his work and earn a larger
salary so that he can support a wife,
and especially since he is willing and
eager to accept money from a woman.
Such a marriage would have but lit
tie chance for happiness.
By all means ask your friend from
the office to your party. Simply tell
him you are giving n party and would
like very much to have him come.

Solution of Couture
Problem.
At last. girls. it's here,
It's called the "scmi-bob."

~ AhllCu INC Stlili-bOb.
Its the solution to your couture
problems. You who have been torn
between the two emotions-to bob or
not to bOb-no longer need worry, for
by means of the new style, the hair
may be worn either bobbed or long,
as you please.
The semi-bOb was discovered by
Billie Dove, Paramount actress, who
ran up against a problem when pre-
pairing for her role in 1.-The Light Of
Western Stars" In that picture she
has the role of a city girl who comes
to the wild frontier country of Ari-
IONA. The script read that the girls
hair must be bobbed. However, Miss
Dove had long beautiful tresses and
had sworn never to sever them.
The actress pondered until she
struck upon this novel and extremely
attractive hair dress. The front hair
only is bobbed and the back left long.
1t can be coiled into a loose knot for
formal occasions or pinned close to
the head during the day to give the
boyish bob effect. without the bob.

For fifty years genuine "Phillips

Yes or No?

Does the location of a snake bite
have anything to do with the speed of
recovery?
Answers to these questions may be
found
l. Yes. The danger from snake
bite is usually less when the bite is
on the lower limbs and greatest if on
the face or neck, when the venom
reaches the large nerves and blood
vessels sooner.
