NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

Monday Cold Cuts
The most striking phenomena OF
the times is not the fact that
there are so many girls who pet,
but that there are still a lot OF
girls who walk home"'
After all. it takes only one fly
in the ointment, one mosquito in
the room, and one weakness in
the man she loves, to ruin
woman's peace Of mind.
A mans idea Of a hard, boiled,
cynical woman is one who won't
believe him when he tells her
something he doesn't mean.
The old-fashioned villain was a
man who was always doing his
worst to force the girl to marry
him; the modern villain Is one
who is doing his level best to pre-
vent her from marrying him.
A man will accept a girls smile
in lieu Of a sense Of humor before
marriage-but after marriage,
she's got to laugh in the RIGHT
PLACE!
Many bachelor naively at
tributes his popularity to his fatal
charm. when 1t is based on moth
ing but his single blessedness.
"Sir, I want to marry your
daughter" is a quaint old formula
that has been changed to, "Con-
gratulations. you lucky old thing!
I'm going to take your daughter
off your handsw
The love that will permit q man
to wait "a hours, before patching
up a quarrel with a woman, Is

that secret radiant dream of love
which should come some day and
make life sweet and significant.
Then, when she was twenty-five.
the year her mother died, Cyril
came. And she was swept into
marriage on a great, golden wave
Of ecstasy.
She told her friends that her
life was contaminated now that
love had come. She thought it
was. She was very sure that
she could never again have need
of anything save Cyril and Cyril's
children. She would sink her
life in Cyril and he would sink
his in her. They would be all
in all to each other. They would
always understand each other
and always make each other
happy.
Simple old beliefs, but they
went to the roots of Edna's soul
and left room for nothing else.
And then gradually, so gradu-
allyl that she could not have told
when it began, things changed.

ed that she was lonely-hideously
lonely. Cyril seemed like a
ger-a genial, friendly
stranger but nevertheless utterly
apart from her life.
Had he been unfaithful to her?
Had he been cruel? Did he have
some secret vice? No-she could
bring no such charges against
him. Perhaps If he had been a
bad, wicked. desperate criminal
it would have been. easier. There
was something thrilling and
lovable about criminals. But
Cyril was just a man. A COM

she was not in any sense q cul-

was considered far superior to

who taught young Lincoln his

and his well developed sympa-

She was a fine, sensitive wom-
man who shrank from the crudi-
ties of the life around her and
who bitterly resented the poverty
and hardship to which her only
son was subjected. Her husband,
Thomas Lincoln, was a shiftless
rover, whose sole excitement was
constant moving. And If 1t were

Nancy Hanks the Lincoln house

THE NUPTIAL
BREAKFAST
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

'MrS. COrnelIuS b0eCkmdu'
NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ I have enjoyed reading your
columns in the paper on correct
etiquette and they have helped
me a lot. Especially on invita-
lions.
I expect to be married soon and
expect to have a nice church
wedding and a breakfast at a
hotel for about so guests.
IL am anxious to know
whether it will be proper to keep
my veil on while eating or not.
2. Is it necessary to have place
cards on the table, as most of the
guests are relatives and very
dear friends?
Thank you for all the past in
formation I have procured In
your column.
A CONSTANT READER.
THE bride should wear her veil

and should not take 1t off until
she leaves to change into travel.
ing clothes. There IS really no
reason why she should remove
it--and she should make the most
OF the short time that she is
given to wear 1t.
2. II you wish to make special
seating plans for your guests,
advise that you have place cards.
They are very convenient. and.
when the time comes for the seat.
ing. you will not have to worry.
And 1t Is quite an entertaining
game to make your table geogra.
ply before the wedding breakfast.
The fact that the guests are rela-
tives and close friends does not
make any difference What makes
the difference Is the convenience.
And you might have the place
cards symbolic OF a wedding.
Would you like that?
NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
A says that when one sends
a greeting card Of any kind, one
should enclose ones card. B says
that one should merely sign ones
name on the card. Which Is cor.
rect? IN DOUBT.
Il is correct. A hit of an added
greeting may be written or just
ones name.

 The name of The Northern in Sew ard, is known throughout the Terri tory, not only as a popular business establishment but also as being the highest class and the largest billiard

 for the present will remain in the city. A. Peel, we'll known and popu- lar resident of Seward, is assisting MT. White in conducting the business.

Really New China.

Often when you say that you are
buying new china you simply mean
that you are replacing or filling in.
AS matter Of fact there really Is new
china, and it is worth the attention
Of every shopper.
Lately the old combination Of white
and gold has been forced down in
price because ivory has become more
popular. OF course you may still pre-
fer white, but many find greater
warmth and richness in the cream-like
glow of ivory.
The Orient is supplying us with
several varieties of new china, too.
Luster ware from Japan in solid tones
with bits Of gold and borders of con-
trasting colors make excellent tea
sets. Quimper ware is old but ever
new. Canton china in new designs
may be had, but 1t is best bought for
service. At times Spanish porcelain
Is available to full purse and fine
taste.
If you have breakfast room for
which you want to buy china set,
or odd pieces, German and Czecho-
slovakian ware in bold original de-
signs are good buys. This ware Is
colorful and inexpensive. It is of
such nature that broken pieces may
be replaced with odd ones and the
effect is simply greater variety.
Naturally the question arises when
buying new china: Is domestic china
as good as the imported? American
factories produce work just as fine as
any that may be imported. You may

to right nor left, though there are
spots of green there still for him to
see.

Dear Miss Leeds: Would you please

and chin? My chin is quite plump

around my neck. l am % years old.
feet inches tall. What should
weigh? SONIA.
Answer-Your correct weight is
about 122 pounds. Systematic eXer-
else and correct posture are necessary
to rid you of the double chin. Notice
how the flesh at your throat is more
baggy when YOU let your chin sag
forward and down and then see how
the lines of your neck are improved
when you hold your chin up and your
neck straight. In most occupations
the workers must bend their heads to
look down on their work and in this
way they develop wrinkles like yours.
Practice holding your head up, chin
erciseS are very simple, but they
must he practiced daily for about 10
minutes to produce any results. Sit
or stand erect. Throw the head back
between the shoulders. Slowly raise
the head and lower the chin. Rotate
the head to the left. back, to the right
and front again. Throw the head back
and then raise 1t slowly, turning to
the left as you do SO. Repeat to the
right. Lie on your back on bed with
