HERRIN. ILL.,, September S.
A sponge bath" water ration faces
all of southern Illinois because of
prolonged drought. This region,
known as Egypt, has to buy drink
ing water at many places.
Herrin long since has given up
even its Saturday wash and is
buying water by the jugful at
cents a gallon. The water wagons
call at homes each morning to
leave the jugs in the same manner
that milk is distributed. The cost
is 25 cents for 5-gallon jug.
Families who can afford 1t have

Of the incline along there, and /

I waited for a couple off de-

parked cars along there, and
looked to my left to make sure
there weren't any more coming,
and started across
Someone yelled Look out,

ward the sidewalk. If I'd been
10 or IL inches larger around the

Autograph a Photograph.
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
l have been going about with a
girl for over year and hope to marry
her soon. Recently / had a photo
graph taken of myself and wish to
give her one. Will you tell me the
proper way to autograph it? Also
how to autograph a picture of a girl
friend?
What are the proper dishes to or
der at an Observation-Disclosures? And
should the lady or the gentleman or
der in restaurant? w. l..
That's difficult TO tell a beau
how to autograph his photograph for
Her! You don't agree with me that
the photograph of a fiance is more
precious" without an autograph?
For such photograph, there is moth
ing that can be written that does not
sound either supcrfluous or over
done. If you write an affcctionate
message on it, it looks foolish" ex-
posed to the public gaze of the people
who will see it. And if you put
Prom Bob to Betty" an observer is
apt to think, Naturally! !" However,
if you think that an autograph does
add frOm-yOu-to-her-wish value to the
photograph. you could write on it,
Best wishes from Bob" or "DcvOt-
cdly, Bob" or something like that
that will be able to stand the reading
OF the wide, wide world"

the prospect. She had never seen Rod
in the Wilderness" She had n vision
of a triumphant god, brOnZCd
Adonis, woodland Pan. So, all
chuck full of poetry and emotion, she
packed her grip, snaked herself into
a powder blue sport dress and blond
socks, and, hicd her for the sticks
to meet her soul-half
She met him all right. Or, rather,
she met something that answered to
his name. A bristling, ragged, dirty,
uncOuth something that looked like
part of the mob scene from the
French Revolution. 1t did not stroll
through the sun-flcckcd shadows of
the woodland glade quoting poetry
in her ear. Instead it sprawled on
it's back and snOrCd, or sat on its
haunch, and fished, or leapcd at the
table and grabbed all the food in
sight. 1t watched no sunsets, it
brcathed no signs. 1t grinncd and
gObblcd and cracked bum jokes. 1t
would not bring the wood. Nor wash
its face. Nor shave nor cut its nails.
Its socks came down. Its neck peeled.
IT WAS LOATHSOME.
For one whole week. seven awful
days, Irene camped with this mon
strous changcling. At the end of
that time she knew beyond all doubt
ing that Rodney White was NOT her
Perfect Mate and never could be. And
now she's wringing her hands and
wondering how to give Rod the air.
Since you asked me, Irene, I'm go
ing to tell you. If you've decided to
stay single for life, can him any old
way and get over it. But if you're
merely bouncing Rod because he
doesn't come up to your specifications,
snap out of it and don the wedding
veil. NO MAN ON EARTH WILL
EVER COME UP TO YOUR EN-
PECTATIONS. "A PERFECT
MATE?" THERE AMT NO SUCH
ANIMAL.
1t isn't possible for any woman to
F'fiGd any man that she can love all
the time under any circumstances.
There isn't a man with whom you
won't be bored, unhappy, miSunder-
stood. lonely or disguised some time
or other. There isn't n man that
won't at some time look like part of
the mob scene from the French Revo-
luton.
Docs this mean that you and all
the other girls are of superior blond
clay to the common male mud? No
dcariCs, it doesn't. For, by the same
token
1t isn't possible for any man to
find a woman that he can love all
the time under any circumstances.
There isn't a woman on earth, in
GLIDING yourself, that wouldn't bore
or disgust or hurt Rod.
PERFECT MATES AMT. YOU
CAN ACHIEVE A HAPPY MAR.
RAGE WITH ALMOST ANY DE
CENT MAN IF YOU DON'T EN-
PECT TOO MUCH OF HIM.
Wrap yourself around that, lady.
Cement it to your floating brains
and glue it to your brain. Get your
self 50 riveted to it that you'll never
jar loose.
Then 60 out and get married.

POINTERS ON ETIQUETTE
For October Wedding.

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Would you kindly suggest what
sort of dress would be appropriate
for a bridesmaid at an October we'd
ding? The wedding is to take place
in church. in the morning, the
bride attircd in the conventional
white dress and veil. A few sugges-
tons regarding material and color
would certainly be appreciated.
2-Would you consider this paper
correct for a young girls stationery?
3-Don't you believe n typewriter
letter can be made as cordial as one
written with a pen? a. Y. Nj.
/ am happy to give You suggestions,
A. Y. NJ, but of course it is the bride
who decides every detail and plan for
the costumes of her attendants. So
you must talk it over with her. The
bridesmaid does not plan her own
costume; the bride tells her just what
she is to wear.
The usual colors that the brides
maids wear are the pastel shades
light pink, light blue, lavender, light
yellow or light green. A rainbow v
wedding. of course, combines them.
Often with n dress of one shade is
combined detail of another shade
in the hat or the girdle.
This year the chiffons are so love
ly that / cannot see how a bride re-
sists having them for the costumes
for her attendants. A lightweight

Soft-lcokinC rs the chiffon. Taffcta
is chosen by some brides.
2-Your letter paper is appropri
ate for a young girl to use. 1t is of
good white and is dignified and
"wCll-brcd" looking. However, since
your letter WINS typewriter l cannot
determine whether or not the paper is
Of n good size in proportion to your
handwriting. Is it?

LISTEN, WORLD!
Perfect Mates Amt
By ELSIE ROBINSON

Irene is frantic. Here it is, only
one week from the day she's supposed
to marry Rodney, and she has discov-
cred that they are ABSOLUTELY
UNTITLED for each other. What
will she tell him? How can she
make him understand? How explain
it to all her friends?
It's particularly terrible because she
waited so long before she accepted
Rodney. Long ago Irene made up
her mind that she wasn't going to
wreck her life by taking the first man
that came along, like other girls dill.
No, she was going to wait until she
found her Perfect Mate. Somewhere
there was Just One Man who was her
cOmplGmcnt-a man who talked her
language would always under
stand her as she understood him
with whom she would never be un-
happy or lonely. All these chickering's
and misunderstanding, all this cold
ness and divorce. that are going on are
due TO carelessnesS in picking ones
mate. If men and girls would Only
WAIT until the RIGHT ONE came
along. there wouldn't be a chance of
disappointment. Everything would be
perfect from the start.
So Irene waited. She waited until
she was 2O-22-25. Her friends mar
ried and razzcd her rs they did so.
Why didn't she take Tom or Lester or
Tcd-thcy were all devoted to her?
But Irene shook her head and smiled.
No, she was waiting for THE Man.
When HE came all would be well.
And, at last. Rodney arrived. She
was pretty sure from the very first
that Rod was the one. But she wait
ed to be positive. So they waited n
whole year before she'd say yes" 4
year of blssful cOmpanionship. De-
lightful talks over their work. par
tics, theatCrS, dinnerS-each meeting"
happier than the one before. And
always Rod was the man of her
dreams. Always he was witty. gen
tie. considerable. ambitious. honest. fas-
tidious. original, charming in every
particular.
So at last they announced their en-
gagemcnt and next week they were to
be married. But
Two weeks ago Rod went on his
annual vacation. His married sister
had taken camp and for two weeks
Rod was going to rough it. At the
end of the first week Irene planned
to join them. She was thrilled at

furious Perseus.

Foxy Grandpa" said Bobby one
evening, as We sat out on the veranda
and L was smoking my after-dinner
cigar" last week you promised to tell
me some more about PerSeus. When
you stopped, he and his wife and
mother were going back to Argos"
"les," answered. "PGrseus, after
his many adventures was very de-
sirous OF seeing the land Of his birth,
so with AndrOmeda and his mother
Danae he set sail for Argos.
When they landed, they saw at
once that there was a great celebra-
ton going on. 1t was a solemn oc-
casiOn, however, even if they were
playing games. But that was part of
the hOnOrs they paid to a great man
when he died. Because the king of
this land had just died and they were
having all sorts of contcsts-wrestling
and racing and all kinds of competi-
tiOn-to show their respect for him.
Now Perscus, being a great ath-
lete, entered Immediately into the
games and naturally nobody knew who
he and his mother and wife were be-
cause they had left the country so
many years before.
But as soon as Perseus started in
the games, they saw at once that he
Cxcelled as an athlete.
While entering in the contests
PerSeus thought he would like to try
his hand at throwing Quoits-because
although now you mostly only see old
fellows like myself playing at that
game, in those days quoits were quite
the thing.
80 pcrseus with his great skill and
strength quickly won in quOits-easily
outdoing the other contestants. But
this didn't satisfy him. He wanted
TO Guido himself and break his own
record. So he called for the heaviest
quot, raised it in his hand and
hurled it as far as he could.
Away it went PerSeuS had thrown
it with such strength that it went
over the heads of the Onlookers-so
far as no one could see where it had
dropped.
Suddenly there was a cry and i'm
mediatcly panic. The QUOT had
struck an old man who was sitting
behind the crowd, and he had fallen
over dead.
Immediately the people surged
around PCrseuS and warned him to
fly, because he had killed the King
of Argos-his mothers father"
The prophecy came true" gasped
Bobby.
What happened to Perseus?" asked
Bobby.
The people of Argos wanted Per-
seus to be their king, but he refused,
because he did not wish to claim a
kingdom which had come to him I'M
der such unfortunate conditions. So
he Travelled up further into Greece
and established a kingdom for him
self. which was called Mycenae.
"And now the adventures of Per-
seus were over and / CO answer
your question as TO wheth-r he and
Andromcda lived happily ever after.
Did they, Foxy Grandpa?" asked
Bobby.
"Thcy did" I answered. "Perseus
ruled so wisely and justly that he
was made n demi-god and when he
died went up on the mount of Olym-
pus to live with all the gods. Look
up there in the sky, Bobby. There
are two consultations of stars. One
is called Perseus and the other An
drOmeda."
