The Rhyming
Optimist
The Meaning.
By Aline Michaelis

The world is old. 1t spun through
space, its surface bare and drear, ere
any life was on the face of this unrest
ing sphere. 1t whirled through chang
ing dusk and dawn, through passing
age on age, the while strange beasts
that now are gone trayersed its mighty
stage. So vast the world, so Strange,
that man, in spite Of centuries since
first his sojourn here began, finds still
some mysteries. So old, 50 vast that
each mans stay Is but fleeing thing,
and he the creature Of a day whose
moments quickly wing. And man him
self, poor, void Of power, what can
his meaning be? And what the message
of his hour for all eternity? None
knows, save only this alone: Each fills
his destined place and all OF good that
each has sown still grows upon earth's
face.

Table Talks
Home Accounts
By Alice Irwin

To some persons the keeping OF
household accounts is a fascinating
occupation: TO others it is great
chore. Surely. it ought not to take
more than ten minutes each day and
the satisfaction of knowing where the
money goes is well worth the small
amount Of time and labor involved.
The most satisfactory sort of &C
count book is one which has a column
for each customary expenditure. Her
are three sorts, tabulating incomes OF
$50, S1TJ and 500 per month. The
first family consists Of two adults and
a child Of 8 IL years, the second two
adults and a child Of 4, the third two
admits and three children:

Once a man has become accustomed

Give a husband too much rope and
he'll wander away out of sight and
get all tangled up with some other
woman.
Send him out "to play" with the
boys and he won't come back until all
the fun is over, and he wants some
body on whom to work off his head
ache and his grouth. And then he'll
want to be off again Mt the first call.
Make life easy for him and his mus

That's why tyrannical wives, nag

wives, capricious wives and spend

HOW 1T STARTED
The Wedding Ring.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

On with your wedding ring, my
feminist sister. who with tears in
your eyes stamped your little foot
and said: For the cause, / will be

and tucked the ribbon beneath your
blouse,
For the marriage ring is not.
where you do not choose to make 1t
so. sign of bondage. 1t does not
signify your subjection. whether
your husband wears one or not. And
according to its original significance
you might prefer that it remain a
one-sided tradition.
The use of the ring was intro
duced by the Egyptians. 1t implied
the endowment upon the bride of all
the husbands possessions, and gave
to the Egyptian woman the right to
issue commands with the same
authority as her spouse.
The ring, as a symbol. has at all
times had a dignified and noble con-
notation. BY its form it signifed
eternity. and its use in the wedding
service is not without this thought.
AS a pledge the ring dates back to
the ancients, when its delivery signi-
fed a transfer of authority and car
ried with II the power of the donor.
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph,
See. have set thee over all the land
of Egypt
And Pharaoh took off his ring
from his hand and put it upon

A Little Slack.

When the child is very little and
entirely dependent upon those about
him for his protection and happiness,
his guardians have full opportunity
to direct him toward the way they
believe he should go. Then is the
time to do 1t, not when he is begin
ming to discover his self and all It's
possibilities.
Childhood is the period for impress
ing the code that is to be the ruling
principle of the individual for the re-
mainder of his life. 1t is then that
a child may be taught to love, honor
and serve goodness. To that end. his
conduct, his manners, his education
in general are bent. Unless that
work is done on time, trouble waits
just around the corner.
When childhood merges into youth
there arises in the soul and mind Of
a child a sort of choppy sea, such as
one meets between the headlands on
a high and windy day. Hither and
thither the child is tossed, a most in
experienced sailor on a full sized sea.
He has within him the proud knowl-
edge that he is master of the craft.
Honor and dignity demand that he
weather the storm under his own
power. He will even forget the
threatening disaster and fight for his
personality if his right Is disputed
Don't dispute it.
When he starts out on his venture
tie a good stout line and a life pre-
server to him when he is not looking.
Then let out the slack. You have to
do so, though your knees shake and
your teeth chatter for fear. He must
have the experience of facing and
conquerins the difficulties and the
dangers. He has to have the feel of
personal triumph when he rides on
the crest. Stay back and wish him
well. Cheer him on and keep an eye
on your life line. Only when he is
going down for the third time or
throws up his hands do you pull in
the slack and haul him ashore for
repairs. Once they are made, launch
him again.
When your boy or girl is changfn &
his attitude toward you and the life
about him, you become only a symbol
to him. So just summon your memo
ries. Review honestly your early
youth and remind yourself that one
person differs very little from an
other in the way of his growth. All
that you have done this child will do
with a difference. But that differ
ence Is not fundamental; it is just
characteristic, which is another mat
ter entirely. Put your trust in the
teaching he has had and in the in
heritance which is his. Comfort your
self with the truth that each gen.
Grafton is more intelligent than the
last, and let out the slack.
Children must make mistakes be-
cause they were not born full sized,
either spiritually or physically. They
have the right to make mistakes and
the right to have them corrected.

hold little instead of frantically

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
very favorable until about noon, and
counsel prosecution of the efforts that
are initiated under today's benign
auspices. Later on in the day condi-
tions change, and, although they do
not become definitely adverse. they
indicate that a partial relaxation of
effort will prove beneficial. 1t is an
ideal occasion for reviewing what has
already been accomplished and as
certaining by careful deliberation and
thought what mistakes, if any, have
been made, or what is the next best
step to insure unqualified success.
The vibrations are not very stimulat-
ing, but they indicate a general sense
of contentment and freedom from
worry and anxiety. They will inspire
greater satisfaction with ones self
than with ones surroundings.
child born tomorrow will be nor
mally healthy, and it's little ailments
at no time need cause either misgiv-
ings or worry. With good environ
ment, it will, without any special care
or attention, develop in a very salts
factory manner, so far as physical
conditions are concerned. Its disposi-
ton will be rather unruly, and it
will show very little inclination to be
guided my ordinary discipline. Stern
and decided corrective measures will
have to be employed. Its character
will be self-willed and masterful
without being dominating. In other
words it will always want it's own
way, regardless of the merits of that
way. 1t will be very determined, and
only uplifting influences in its early
days will make of this child low
able and a loving character.
II tomorrow is your birthday an
niversary, you possess very strong
convictions. but would rather agree
with those expressing opinions dia-
metrically opposed to yours than risk
the chance of giving offense. 1t is
neither desirable nor polite to utter
your own ideas and dogmas in sea-
son and out of season. Neither Is it
morally right to acquiesce, even
though silently, in views that you
know are wrong.
You are very affectionate, as we'll
as demonstrative, and are unduly sem
sitive to the absence of outward show
of affection in others. Owing to
your lack of moral courage and your
r-sensitiveness, you do not get
out of life that happiness of mind to
which you, with your many engaging
traits, are entitled.
Well known persons born on this
date are Frederick Cozzens, humor-
ist; Isaac l. Hayes, Arctic explorer

Role of Stockings in the Wardrobe
BY MARY MARSHALL.

gin with, but rolled stockings never
looked so trim as those that were
supported in some other way. Hence
the present vogue for garters. There
are now hose supporters hanging
from a belt for the woman who
doesn't like round garters and who
doesn't wear a corset.
Don't be surprised If colored stock
ings are worn this Spring and Sum-
mer. Not bright colors, but soft pas
tel tones, which must be worn to
match the tone predominant in the
costume. For instance, if you wear
a sport frock of white with narrow
green leather belt and a green hat,
then your stockings should be of a
pastel green. If you have violet
trimmings on your frock, then your
stockings should be of a pastel tone
of violet
The present vogue of the so-called
blonde satin slipper has brought
about a demand for blonde toned
stockings to match. The black stock
ing has become so much a thing of
the past that the other day when a
well known motion picture actress
arrived from Europe wearing them
the event was treated as news. 1t
was as sensational as If she had car
ried a chimpanzee or a tame duck for
a pet. These black stockings, how
ever, were SO sheer as to show the
flesh tones very distinctly.

The Hepatica

Watch for hepaticas these days.
There is a prize awaiting him who
finds the first one. The prize is some
thing quite as good az gold-the JOY
of finding some ething blooming in the
woods at this time.
Except for one or two trees. 1t can
probably lay claim to being the very
first thing to bloom around Washing
ton. The first warm days, when the
sun. beating down through Ieafess
trees, quickly warns up the. black
loam in which hepaticas like to grow,
are likely to bring out the delicate
blossoms on their hairy stems.
They are really not very snowy
compared with garden flowers, like
crocus and snowdrop, and they often
escaped the eyes of men and women
who are busy with many problems.
But the schoolchild generally sees the
first hepatica- He is more watchful
of the little things, and without other
preoccupations has time to look for
these frail treasures that grow in
by-paths and on cross-lot shorter
The easiest way to find the hepatica
Is to watch for the leathery, ever
green, three-lobed leaf, beside which
the blossoms rise. In olden days the
three lobes were thought to symbol
lie the three-lobed liver, and hepatica
was used by superstitious physicians
a g medicine.

monest shade, and again they NAV
