Past Doesn't Count,
BY MIMI.

A letter from Mary K: THE man
L love has been going with me for
two years. Just lately he's been act.
ing rather strange, kidding me about
my being slow and suggesting that
we ought to go about more.
THE other night he amazed me by
showing up at my house with a girl
friend of his. She lives next door to
him, and they've been pals for years.
l wouldn't have thought anything Of
1t, but she was dolled up to the ears,
and acted awfully fused at meeting
me. Sort of as If she were putting
something over on me.
Stan has proposed to me three
times already and l have never really
accepted him, although I've always
! meant to, some day. Now that I'm
SO worried about his behavior. 1t seems
to me / can't wait for fourth pro-
posal. I'm ready to accept right now.
Shall I write to him. and tell him so?"
Poor Mary X! She has n hard les
son to learn that no girl can
depend on the tender vows of the past
unless she's having definite proof OF
their sincerity in the present.
Stanley has proposed to her three
times. but she can take no comfort
from that fact; unless he proposes to
her again, there is nothing for her to
accept.
She may exclaim Indignantly: Yes,
but he's told me so many times he's
crazy about me why should / doubt
him now?'
No need to doubt him now. unless
there's something in his manner that
makes you uneasy, and there Is;
you've told me yourself, Mary X.
If he were acting his natural self.
perhaps you would rely on the old
proposal, perhaps take it for granted
| that his offer still stood. But In the
light of his recent actions you would
look rather foolish penning n blithe
note TO the effect that you have de-
cided to accept his of the 18th of last
month.
1t will. for one thing, give away to
him the fact that you are rather wor.
ried, and if he has experienced
change of heart toward you, you Will
be in a humilating position.
All the tender signs and whispered
VOWS and ardent proposals Of the past
do not matter a bit. 1t is the pres
ent that counts.
If he's being faithful and constant
to you today, as he was two years
ago, then you may go to him secure
in the knowledge that he loves you
and really wants you to marry him.
But while you're vaguely suspicious
of his new manner, while you re puZ-
zled and anxious, don't try TO draw
comfort from the fact that he was
yours.
Don't try to hold him to something
he said in the past. Understand that
a single week may have turned him
to a different person and that his past
utterances may belong to another self
for which he will not hold himself
responsible now.
Learn to accept the hard. cold facts
as they are; past devotion counts for
nothing. Does he love you now?
Never accept proposal that's
grown cold from waiting too long.
Mimi will be glad to answer any inquiries
directed to this paper. provided q stamped.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Frequently the information as to
food values is given to the housewife
in terms Of 100 calorie portions. While
such tabulations are undoubtedly
practical, they do not go far enough
for the woman who wishes to have
accurate figures open which to base
the diets for the family.
1t is a good plan to remember that
the average portion of the avera ge
1000 represents approximately 100
calories of energy. Such a bit of in
formation is help iii estimating the
amount OF energy furnished by the
daily diet as d whole.
But energy is only one thing to be
considered. although it is wise to learn
how to estimate the all-round food
value OF small quantities of everyday
food.
OF course, the only way to have
complete information on this point
available for ready reference is to
draw up tabulations for each food
group in turn. If the housekeeper,
for instance, has decided that she
would like such a table of food values
in chart form for her kitchen, what
are the first points which she will
need to learn in regard to these small
portions Of food?
Such a table should show at a
glance the energy value of a given
measure Of food, as expressed in both
fat and starch and then its body
building powers. Provided milk and
fresh fruits and vegetables are repre-
sented in adequate quantities, the
minerals and vitamins so necessary
for growth and repair will be auto
matically present.

Clues to Character
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.
Permanent Expression.

Permanent expressions Of the face
are made by the conscious or uncon.
scious action of the mind. Lines
upon the face are caused by constant
influence of the emotions. desires. and
activities of the mentality. Actors
express all emotions by calling upon
the mentality to direct their facial
expressions.
BY the natural lifting and lowering
of the skin of the forehead in thought,
or in recalling of circumstances or
ideas. the forehead will be traversed
by compare lively straight lines, more
or less connected. These lines are
formed by the active exercise Of the
brain located in the forehead.
If ones disposition is melancholy,
lines are mostly downward from the
corners of the mouth. Mirthfulness
and a cheerful disposition give the
lines an upward tendency - with

Bickenng.

Children in the pre-adolescent stage
love to bicker. They call it argu-
ment. When the teacher said to Sam,
you're wrong. If the man sold for
less than cost he must have lost. Why
talk about it? You're wrong. That
ends it," and Sam asked belligerently,
well, can't we have an argument
sided?" He thought he was be-
ing highly intellectual, ponderously
thoughtful, but he was pickering.
It is hard to be patient when this
happens. 1t Is a very bad Aabit for
a child to get into because 1t gives
him a wrong notion about thinking.
He thinks he is thinking when he
searches in his mind for a stream Of
words to contradict you. He is think
ing, but it is a very poor quality and
a very poor attitude.
When the child begins to discuss
a point that holds no room for dis
cussion it is best to check him with
a steady look and a silence. The more
you talk the more eager he is to
answer. He is so set on his own line
of speech that he cannot hear you.
Literally, he does not hear you. Ears
by themselves cannot hear. The mind
must listen in before anything hap.
pens.
So when the rising tide of words
threatens to overwhelm you just sit
back and listen steadily without a
word in reply. Smile and close the
discussion in silence. Later on when
an opportunity offers let him know
that when two and two are joined
together there is four, and no
amount Of wordy battling will alter
that fact by a fraction. Only silly
people try to argue against the, facts.

and, of course, the shoes should be
predominantly gray or silver.
1t is an interesting thing that many
women who HI We imagined gray as
quite unbecoming to themselves find
just the reverse when they wear
one of the new gray evening frocks
The effect of gray against the skin
Is quite different in the clear, uncom-
promising light of day from what IL
is by the softer evening lights. Then,
too, many of the gray evening frocks
show the CLEAN Of silver or steel and
sometimes the CLINT of crystal beads.
Gray fur has become extremely
popular this Winter. Perhaps popu-
lar is not quite the right word. For
popular in the sense that it has be.
come commonplace, gray certainly is
not. 1t still remains a shade far more
often chosen by the woman of dis
eliminating taste.

My Neighbor Says:

When pressing seams. try
using a medicine dropper filled
with water and travel slowly
down the seam. This furnishes
just enough moisture for press
ing.
When your cord on the elec-
trio iron becomes worn and
frayed. try bandaging 1t with
adhesive tape. 1t will last
months longer.
Woolens are hardened by the
use of strong soaps. Make a
suds of white soap and wash
woolens in 1t, wringing them
out Of the suds instead of out
of clear water.
When putting away cooking
utensils, remove the covers SO
as to permit any odor of foods
that may be retained in them to
escape.
Turn the children's colored
dresses inside out before hang
ing them on the line. This will
prevent fading.
Never have unnecessary furni-
ture or hangings in a sick

bles just because they happen
to be in a sick room.

Old Mother Nature.


Mrs Grouse seemed very much
pleased with the soft, deep snow. She
was. In the first place 1t made her
a warm blanket under which to sleep.
At night she simply plunged into it
and worked her way along the ground
under 1t for short distance. If Red
dy Fox or Old Man Coyote or YoWler
the Bob Cat should happen to find the
place where she went in they wouldn't
know just where she then was, so
their chances of catching her by jump
ing on her would be small. Reddy had
just tried it and failed. Then Mrs.
Grouse lilCd to walk about on the
snow, for 1t made it easier for her to
reach certain berries hanging on the
bushes. You know she didn't sink IN.
Jumper. the Hare was another who
didn't sink in. Peter Rabbit envled
Jumper and he envied Mrs. Grouse.
They were talking about the snow and
what fun 1t was to be able to get about
SO easily while SO many of their ene-
mics were f1oundering about, and as
Peter listened he grew more and more
envious. Il suppose it is all because
Mother Nature gave you big feet,
said he.
"It isn't just big feet" replied Mrs.
Grouse. II don't think my feet are
any bigger than they should be for
one of my size to look well. 1t is what
goes with those feet at this time of
year. I am rather proud of my slen-
der toes in Summer. But look at them
now"
Mrs. Grouse held out one foot. Along
each side of each toe was growing a
sort of fringe of horny points. When
she put her foot down these filed in
the space between the toes so as to

toes were quite long and with these
horny fringes along each she had what
