That Exhilarating Quarrel.

I1ffie objects to some of my recent
articles on the subject of nagging the
| boy friend.
She admits that a real mag" Is a
| tfresome person to have about the
aouse, but she believes that Just a
| little gentle nagging now and then is a
good thing.
She says that life would be dull, In.
| deed, for Arnold and her. If they didn't
have their weekly spats to brighten up
| their lives.
Arnold is a quiet, slow-moving in
divdual who never comes out of his
| shell unless prodded viciously by
Effie's sharp wit.
Once he does come out, he storms
and RACES and becomes the ideal he
man. After which he subsidies, thor
oughly ashamed of himself and eager
to make up.
His making up is OF an ardent
quality and pleases his lady. She tells
me that but for these brief quarrels
of theirs, she would never know how
nicely Arnold could make love.
In other words. she finds the oc-
casional quarrel an exhilarating per
formanCe-and believes that the nag.
ging which precipitates the fight Is
necessary and beneficial.
Lots of girls have Eff1e's brilliant
idea. They find their rather back
ward Romeos tame and uninteresting
unless they be stirred up occasionally
by a short, fierce fight of some sort.
SO they calmly go about making
trouble in order to bring about fight
and then a making up.
This they do with no thought Of the
effect on their dispositions. They don't
realize that their petty nagging is
printing Fuckers in their foreheads--
and turning their fairly pleasant
voices into irritable whines.
They may be making trouble just
for fun--nOt really seriously-but the
effect of this trouble making will be
disastrous.
Effie is now In the habit of whining
at Arnold every so Often-picking on
him. checking up too severely, etc.
She does it lightheartedly enough
at present-and he. being very much
In love, acts as she wants him to.
But give the young people few
years together. Let Fife continue to
pick and find fault just for the plea
sure Of making old Arnold rumble
and rage.
Watch how much longer the fights
last-hoW brief and perfunctory be-
|
be the chief aim of Effie's chickering's
Notice how IEffle has got into the
habit of whining and finding fault
just for its own sake-how weary Ar
mold is growing Of the everlasting
complaint and criticism
Effie's game is pretty enough now.
but it leads to discomfort and eternal
quarreling.
Don't try TO make your romance
more thrilling by staging fights every
Saturday night. The pleasure of MAX
ing up isn't worth the bitterness of
continual petty bickering-and the de-
sire to make up dies quickly after re-
peated battles.
The weekly quarrel may be ex.
hilarating, but it's a dangerous form
of eXhilaration.

Peter at rest. His heart and his

Do YOU not regard Raymond Poln-
care as a menace to the peace of the
world and his occupation of the Ruhr
Valley as a great blunder? How does
he compare with NJ. BRAND?
Answer-A complete answer to your
inquiry would involve q survey of the
World War from its incipient causes
to it's actual occurrence and conse-
quences, and cannot be given here.
Patriotic Frenchmen of the nation
alistic type would not agree with your
description Of their former president
and present premier. For them he is
the realist in politics who ,foresaW the
perils threatening his country and
safeeuarfied against them. AS they
view it his policy has been less oppor-
tunist than that of the majority of his
cotamuora rieS It's consistency re
veals the typical and infiexibe logic OF
the French mind. It's course is de-
termined by his view Of Pan-German-
ism and Bolshevism and entirely OPP
rOsite social theories which are equal
lv injurious to civilization and with
which no compromise is possible.
NJ. BRAND furnishes the complement
to Poincare. Both men have shared
the labors and responsibilities of
official life together, and Poincare
speaks in his recently published
Memoirs of Brands ability to
diagnose the public temper. to con
ciliate, to adapt to reconcile antag-
onists at home and abroad.
His flair Of foreign affairs has given
NJ. BRAND a deserved eminence in the
League Of Nations, the making or the
Locarno compact, and the admission
of Germany into the League.

NJ. Poncare has modified his attitude
on these great international move
ments and is still in the field as one
of the strong men of France, if not of
the world.
Once the French Republic is freed
from its fear of aggressive invasion
it will render good service to human
ity. Should NJ. PoinCare live and sur

Let me suggest that introspection

II strengthens n determination to push
ahead toward fine goals with renewed
energy, and appreciates with thank.
fulness the good that the past has
provided us. Let us once start to
recall all the mistakes we have made,
all the blunders we have stumbled
into, all the things that have gone
wrong. the poor judgment that we
have used with resulting unhappiness
to ourselves and often to others, we
are plunged so deeply into grievous
thoughts that we have no fortitude
with which to make a new start with
the coming new year.

such contemplation. 1t should he re-
membered that those who have least
to censure themselves for are often
the ones who are most severe on
themselves. The people who will find
a hundred excuses for things amisS
in others are hardest on themselves.
while those who are hardest on others
are easiest to excuse themselves. We
must he equitable in our retrospection
and temper our backward thoughts
with kindness.
Constructive Thoughts.
1t Is when we bring to remembrance
the advances we have made, either in
work or in the building Of character,
and review both with thankfulness
that we are strengthened in our out
look. We must be constructive. IL the
year has had many annoyanCes and
burdens, they are past and gone never
to return, and this I'm itself is a cause
for gladness. Surely we must have
learned something from them TO help
us make the coming year more feIici.

Building on Happiness.
But It is when we review with
thanksgiving whatever joys have come
to us and to ours, when we see things
from a little distance of time and get
them in correct proportions and SO
find their values, when we recognize
that we are building on a sure founda-
ton; when we determine to cultivate
the happy memories and to so act
that the coming year shall record
more OF them, that we find ourselves
coupling our introspection with an
eagerness. a strength and a happy

Your Baby and Mine

In answer to Mrs C. C.--Due to the
lack of sunlight in most of our eli
mates during the cold weather; due to
our closed-in homes, apartments, flats
and Whatnot, our babies do not get
enough sunlight during the Winter
season. Ricketts, is especially prevalent
for that reason and also because of
an inadequate diet. Even nursing
babies are prone to have it. Babies
who are fat have it and babies who
are thin. For this reason we give
cod liver oil, which some one has apt
ly called bottled sunlight" 1t is rich
in vitamins and minerals and has the
ability of helping the body to utilize
these precious elements in other
foods.
From two months on. in the Win
ter time. a baby should have cod liver
oil. As a preventive of ricketts, smaller
amounts can be given than if the baby
has an active case. Ricketts,, we now
hasten to explain for all those who
don't already know, is a disease of
nutrition and is characterized by soft
bones, an enlargement of wrist and
ankle bones and the ends of ribs.
