Brains aren't enoughl

No, brains alone never drew a man
to woman! He may like her better
because of her cleverness. But what
appealed to him frst-whether he
knew it or not-was her charm.
Charm-and youthful zest for life
the ability to make people love
you and enjoy themselves better be-
cause they're with you. You can't
be a truly happy and successful
woman without them-even with
the best brains iP the worldl
So make the most of your femi-
nine attractiveness, your youthful
enjoyment! And make the most of
the dainty, luxurious, youth-giving
things that heighten your charm
and zest! Saucy French pumps; Cos
samer stockings; perfumes, delicious,
romantic. Don't they make you
feel happier-loveliera Then you We

And laid its glory in my poor,
weak hands,
And from that moment too,
walked with God.
I still was made Of common,
earthly clay.
Kin to the wolf, the weasel, ape
and snake,
Beset by greediness and spite and
fear,
Stupid and weak as ever I had
But by my side there went that
shining blade
And in my heart / knelt before
its flame,
And by that service was linked
to Him
Who holds the keys Of Heaven in.
His hand.
So through a span Of years,
held that sword
And served its brightness with a
grateful heart,
I watched it's beauty pass like
some white flower
Along the dark and dusty lanes
of life
/ saw its purity emerge unsoiled
From out the press and squalor
Of the fight
saw its courage leap like winged
flame
Above the grip of poverty and
pain.
And then the years were done
once more / came
To a dark pool which fate had
marked for me
That black and bitter pool which
men call Death.
And saw my bright sword pass
into its night.
And still / walk as kings walk,
proud and tall,
And wonder why they think am
so poor,
And hate the falsity of my own
tears !.
For why should / take pity as
dole.
And why should be lonely,
shamed or sad,

Monogramming Linens

A READER.
OINCE you are to have your
~ linen embroidered after your
marriage. your problem Is a bit
different. Usually the bride-to-be
has her linens embroidered with
the initials Of her maiden name
that is. when she has her linens
before her marriage. The linens
that are embroidered after her
marriage are usually embroidered
with the initials of her married
name. Mary Smith marrying John
Brown uses M. s. B.
Many brides rebel against this
convention and have their linens
embroidered with the initials Of
the married name. even before
they are married. To my mind
this is not such good taste.
should think that bride would
want to feel that these linens are
the ones she brought with her as
her contribution to the new home
her maiden initials register this.
You would have to decide this
question for yourself, since your.
problem would be am exception to
any rule. 1t would depend on
which point of view you wish 10
emphasize.

little "coddler" who has already

The average woman is a born
"coddler" and the man she loves
is her first and most pitiful
victim.
If she happens to be childless,
her husband is a marked man
and as helpless IN her hands as
a prize kitten.
A feminine "coddler" can take
a hard-boiled herman and trans.

who cannot find his own razor,
open his own egg or remember

When q man starts out in life
as coddled son, many and bitter
are the surprises in store for

"Coddled sons" are sore at
flictions as husbands; for, it
takes years to make them
realize that the earth does not

fair to start a boy out with
such handicap; it makes him

and it takes a lot Of hard knocks
to make him readjust his view

But q woman who takes a
grown he-man and deliberately
reduces him to a helpless de.
pendent because she won't allow
him to do anything for. HIM
, SELF, practically extinguishes
him!
\ y n
She covers him with kindness,
smothers him with attentions,
paralyzes his initiative, and shat
ters his self.reliance.
Like q hen with one chick, she
hovers over, him, so that. he can't
get out Of her sight and find
a WORM for himself And If
he did, she'd probably take it
away from him and tell him it
was bad for him"
&A&
She squeezes the ambition out
of him with her devotion" and
snuffs the courage out of him

How when the years were ripe
old Merwin led
The boy along strange paths
down to the pool
Whose waters were a darkness,
locked and sealed,
Then waited for the sign that
was to be.
And suddenly from out the pool
there broke
A strong. white hand, and in that
hand a sword
That famed like lightning on
their startled sight.
And Arthur. trembling, took the
signing blade
And from that moment Arthur
was King.
So through long years, King Ar.

And held the glory of Excaliber,
And knew the pride and pain
such glory brings,
Then when at last the promise

He found his way again to that

And saw the bright blade pass

And vanish in the waters whence
It came.

realize that this is an indi.

gram. then 1 should think that
you would have to send one to
each Of the couple. If you send
one, at this time especially, to the
groom, who is your friend, it
would not seem to me to be good
taste. And If you sent one to
the bride, whom you apparently
do not know, it would seem
forced. And. too. as matter Of
fact, il you send one to each one,
while it would be good form, it
might seem rather forced also.
But if you send one to ''Mr. and
Mrs" after the ceremony, you
will show impeccable taste, and
not let yourself in for any ad.
