KENNEWICK couple is arrane

A KENNEWICK couple is arrang-
= ing to make a trip ''back home
after an absence of 45 years. They
won't find it much like home wher
they get there, nor like any other
place that they know. Forty-five
years are usually enough to take all
the people we knew; if any are left
among the living they are so changed
that we no longer recognize them
nor find that we have anything in
common with them. "Home" for our
Kennewick friends is where they are
now, and after they have concluded
their long anticipated visit they will
turn their faces toward it with more
pleasure than they experienced when
they set out.-Ya Yakima Republic.

Southwest OF Cassiopeia is row
of stars belonging to Andromeda.
Northeast Of Andromeda, in the
Milky Way, shines the beautiful
CapeIla. South Of this, and east
from Andromeda the eye catches
the curious glitter of the Pleiades,
one OF the most marvellous OF all
stellar Congregations because
photographs show that its stars
are enveloped In amazing clouds
Of glowing nebulae. But the eye
sees no nebula even with the aid
OF the telescope,
Beyond the Pleiadess nearly OH
the horizon, CLOVIS Aldebaran,
celebrated reddish star in the
head of the Bull CTaurls). Higher
from the eastern horizon, below
Andromeda. are the principal stars
OF Aries. famous as the original
leader of the zodiac. Conspicuous
in the south, southwest from An
dromeda, is the Great Square Of
Pegasus, whose name renders it
at once recognizable.
Below, and not far above the
horizon, appears the lone bright
star Fomalhaut in the constella-
ton of the Southern Fish. The
scattered stars in the south, west
of Fomalhaut, belong to Aquarius
and Capricornus. Above them
is the striking little group called
the Dolphin, or, sometimes, Jobs
Coffin.
West of this, at the edge of the
Milky Way, CLEANS the bright
star Affair, with a little compan-
ion on each side. Far south and
west of Affair. and almost on the
horizon, looms, just now, the
great planet Jupiter, unmistak-
able because of his brightness.
Above the Dolphin and east of
Vega, lying entirely in the Milky
Way, which is very bright here
on clear moonless nights, Is the
Northern Cross, in the constella-
ton Cygnus. The. bright star at
the head of the cross is Denib,
and the small one at the bottom
Of the long beam is Albireo, one
Of the most exquisitely beautiful
colored double stars in all the
sky, and easily seen with q small
telescope. And so, enough for

ENGAGEMENT
RING
Mrs. Cornelius BeecknlaI

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ is it proper for me to go
with my fiance to the jewelers.
to pick out our engagement ring?
I am fussy concerning the style
OF the ring and he doesn't want
to buy it unless have seen It
and approved. 'LOLLIE.
IVES, indeed it is proper! Nova
days this. reasonable and SEN
sille way of doing 1t is taken for
granted. OF course you have defi-
mite ideas about your engagement
ring, and you should have. And
OF course, too, your finance wants
to have ''the" ring consummate
these ideas. Therefore it is abb
surd not to confer on them.
We are, as a rule, very far
awav from the romantic days
when the swain had the ring in
his pocket, all ready to draw it
on Her finger when she coyiy
whispered Yes Such ''pre-
paredness'' is admirable but not
very practicable. And then the
girl had to wear the ring for
not It was the kind Of ring she
wanted!
Now the beau can do one of
several things that will facilitate
Her choice. He can have a
) jeweler submit designs along the
line that the girl indicates, and
this is the. usual way since it
means that there is only one of
this design and that is theirs.
Together they choose from the
designs submitted, and the ring
is made. Or, the man may go
first to the jewelers., and make
selections from the rings that he
can afford to buy. These the
jeweler will send to the home of
the young lady, and they may be
looked at there, or they may go
together to the shop and make
the selection there. 1t is, OF
course, less embarrassing for both
if the man goes first, and makes
the selections that ne can afford.
Then it is simple for the girl TO
choose the design.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland
II the Truth Were Told

NOTHING makes a woman ap.
IN preciate Woodworking grub
of a husband, like having been
married to happy-go-luclxy but
terf1y.
The woman who says she has
given q man up for good,
usually means that she has given
him up for incorrigible.
Somehow, the moment a girl
begins to take a lot of stock In
a mans love, IL ceases to DE"
clare any dividends"
One joy in moving is that a
woman can leave her husbands
old shoes, ancient. pipe, moth
eaten sweater, soft collars and
collection Of junk behind in the
old apartment-and then blame It
on the carelessness OF the NOV
ers.
Before marriage, a man sends
a woman kisses over the tele-
phone and hangs up the receiver
tenderly and reluctantly; after
marriage he fires her excuses
over it, and just snaps 1t OH as
though it were live wire.
Most men are looking for a
wife with a pliable satin finish,
a durable Atwood ground, a.
changeable pattern, and a domes-
tic weave.
Infatuation is like hay-fever,
something which seizes you v1o-
lently and accountably every sum-
mer, but which mercifully and mag
ically disappears, and is forgotten
with the first cold wave.
Marry a man because he has
such a charming way with Wo-
men-and then divorce, him for
the same reason.

able crimes these days, are for

woman to be Broken"
