THE CHILD OF NINETEEN
BY.CLYDE CALLISTER.

Abigail Adams (nee SMITH, the only
woman who has enjoyed the distinc-
tion of having been the wife of one
United States President and the
mother of another, was married when
she was 10. John Adams, promising
young man though he was. was one
of the several future Presidents with
whom the course of true love did not
run quite smooth. In his case, how
ever, the lady of his choice was quite
willing to marry him and her minister
father had raised no objections. But
the members Of his church and
AbigaiPs friends did not think John
was good enough for their Abigail.
They felt that the son Of n small
farmer, even If he himself was a
lawyer. was not sufficiently distin-
guished to marry the daughter Of
we'll known minister, especially when
clever as Abigail.
So strenuous was the objection Of
the congregation to the impending
marriage that the minister had to
preach a sermon on the matter. He
chose for his text this passage from
the New Testament: For John came
neither eating bread nor drinking
wine, yet ye say he hath a devil"
Apparently the text and the minis
ter's eloquence won the day. AT any
rate, Abigail and John were married
Abigail Adams is always looked upon
as one of the cleverest of all women
who have shared the honors of the
White House. Yet her education was
but scanty. II never went to school,"

OF four children. one of whom was

show her to have been one Of the
cleverest correspondents of her day.
Nineteen was the age of Laura

by the poet Petrarch. She had been

mother when Petrarch first fell under

Avignon. There was never anything
approaching intimacy between Laura
and Petrarch. yet he loved her for %
years. until she died of the plague
when she was 40. In that time he
wrote over 800 sonnets in praise of
her. and ii is these sonnets that have
immortalized their love.
Nineteen seems to be a queenly age
for marriage. 1t was the age of the
present Queen of Spain when she mar

Hopping Off.

1t isn't only the flyer like Charley
Lindbergh or DiCkey Byrd, who hops
off in his airship to make the flight
to Europe, the North Pole or Asia.
For the girl who hops off into the
street, down to the office, or out to
the dance has to have almost rs much
nerve and an equally good pair OF
wings, so to speak.
In days gone by, the fair young
creature did her little hopping act in

It's mighty different now, when a
girl has to have q short take-off in
the form of such education as she has
been able to grab and such experience
as she has been able to put together.
These two usually amount to about
as much as the quantity of clothing
she wears-just enough education and
experience and clothes to cover the
subject.

BEAUTY CHATS
Side Faces.

The side face is often deceptive.
You may look at a woman's profile
and decide she's nearly 40. When
she turns around she's 25. She has
simply been silly enough to let her
chin line go.
You may look at new face, prof1le.
and think the owner young, and find
she isn't when she turns to look at
you. Again it's case of what she
has done with her chin line. The chm
line counts enormously with the side
face. The nose counts almost as
much, but you can't do so much
about it.
Profiles are supposed to show char
acter-real character, as the mouth
does.
l think you can do enough things
to your profile to deceive any one-at
least, 10 deceive people into thinking
you are pretty even If you are not.

Saliva is the first digestive fluid
which the food encounters in its jour
ney through the body. The mere eat
ing makes the saliva flow from a great
number OF very tiny glands which are
set in the membrane lining the mouth.
There are three pairs of large glands
which also send out saliva. 1t has
been established that the taking of
food into the mouth is only one way
in which the flow of the saliva is in
creased. When one is very hungry
the sight of appetizing food will often
cause the SALIVA to flow, as will also
certain emotional conditions, such as
pleasurable excitement. The digestion
begins as soon as the food is mixed
with the saliva.
This fluid contains a digestive ele-

An outstanding service which pine
apple performs in the body is that of
acting as a digestive agent for meat.
True, it does other things for us, but
this is usually spoken of first. because
it is so important. Fresh pineapple
contains rich store of lime. which
