the event was filled with interest.
Smith did not visit the best station,
nor did he go behind the scenes of the
most unpretentious. This enabled him
to obtain true picture Of average

relating to other radio fans the sump-
tuousness of the furnishings, on the
one hand, or the apparent crudeness of
electrical equipment, on the other.
What impressed him were the velvet
hangings of the studio proper where
were located the piano, a few chairs,
inviting lights and, finally, the inno-
cent looking microphone through
which artists and speechmakers rub
elbows with the world. He had Wis

HOUSEHOLD HINTS


Picnic time
The picnic season is q joyous time
for all. IT'S the time to be prepared
so that at practically a moments
notice one can pack tasty lunch.
The main idea Is to have the food on
hand and other items to go with it.
Purchase plenty of paper napkins.
Oiled paper.
Paper plates.
Paper forks.
Paper spoons.
Have shelf ready with:
Jelly and jam.
Cheese.
Bottled goods.
Salad dressing.
And-have plenty of eggs or cold
meat in the ice box.
Paper Napkin Uses
Buy plenty Of cheap napkins. Hang
some near sink. Use to wipe hands;
wipe floor; wipe stove; wipe spots;
wipe greasy pans, and be handy to
wrap food when necessary.

A WORTHLESS
SWEETHEART
BY Beatrice Fairfax-
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ am twenty-three. At
sixteen 1 met a young man with
whom / fell in love. Two years
later we became engaged.
We were both very happy 1nd
1 was getting my trosseau to-
gether. Then one day 1 fell and
injured myself.
The accident necessitated an
operation. Now I'm better, but
III never be very strong again.
Since my operation my sweet
heart doesn't seem to care for
me. He writes, but he never
comes to see me. 1 don't know
what to think. Shall l stop
writing and try to forget him?
DAISY.
VoU are. indeed. in trouble,
Il but there's a way out ami
you must take that way.
Your sweetheart doesn't wish
to marry you. Perhaps he's poor
and feels he can't care for an
invalid wife. Or, it may be, he
dislikes the thought of being with
ill people. Write and release him
from his engagement.
A girl who is delicate should
not think of marrying unless she
knows just whom she's marrying
and that he can care for her.
Don't say you'll never again be
strong You mustn't let yourself
believe that. But until you are
quite strong it is better not to be
engaged.
Bend all your energies to gs.-
ting well. There will be times
enough then to think about sweet
hearts and marriage.
