she had her OWL little apartment
and cooked her own nice, coy lit
tie dinners. She had a simple party
once in awhile and lived her own
life a good deal like a real human
being.
And now she feels like a fool
and between you and me. 7 think
she acts like a fool.
She says her husband is the best
man in the world, wise, gentle,
considerate in every way.
Well, now. he may be gentle and
he may want to be considerable,
Kate. but he Is certainly not very
wise, or he wouldn't put you in
any such ridiculous position.
Let daughter-in-law have the
house if she wants it, you didn't
marry your husband for his house.
did you?
Move out and give daughter-in-
law and son and the children and
the nurses and the cook all the
room they want.
Go out and hunt yourself up a
pretty little apartment somewhere
with lots Of sunshine and an open
fire and you'll have fun trotting
around furnishing it. Get your
husband to go shopping with you
and make him feel that his house
is his to do what he wants with
it. all you want is him and his
love and companionship.
Make a home for him, a real
home, one where he can be COM
Portable and at ease. and the first
thing you know son and daughter
in-law will be trying to get on the
right side of you so as to be on the
right side Of your husband and
you can use your judgment about
letting them do that.
If I were you, I'd let them make
friends with me. when I'd given
them a sweet goodbye.
Be happy with your own hus-
band in your own home and let
the rest of the world roll by-why
not?

Advice to Girls
BY ANNIE LAURIE
nEAR ANNIE LAURIE:

NEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
~ After ] had gone with a boy
for nearly half a year another girl
comes along and writes him notes
asking him to take her to places.
This flattered his conceit and 50
he has left me for her. He told a
friend that he liked US both equally
well.
How can I win him back? What
would you do in a fix like this?
ME-
NEE: What would I do? I'd simply
Iva ignore the whole thing, my
dear. If he IS so easily led as that.
his friendship really isn't worth hav.
ing. SO just show him that you are
not left sitting in a r because
he has decided to 60 with someone
else. Go about with your other
friends. Be friendly when you meet
him, but do absolutely nothing to try
to regain his interest. In this way
you'll probably interest him more
than If you deliberately set out to
win him back"
DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
~ ! am a girl In my teens and
am planning to have a few Of my
girl friends and their boy friends
at my home with my parents con-
sent. Some Of the fellows my
parents haven't met.
What would be the proper
method Of introducing them?

Our Christian Science friends,
whether we agree with all their doc
trines or not, have certainly given
emphasis to a great truth in insist
ing upon wiping out worry and men,
tai disturbance. LAS he thinketh in
his heart, so is he" said the Wise
Man.
We are really what we are in our
hearts and souls. When u sur
roundings harmonic with our inner
feelings we are happy. When they
do not, we are restless and miser-
able.
One Of the most important things
to do for the sick person and one of
the most important things the well
person can do for himself. is to have
the surroundings and associates
agreeable as possible.
But do not misunderstood me:
] would not have you fret and fume
over your surroundings if you are
powerless to change them. Perhaps
the highest test Of absolute sanity
Of mind is the power OF adjustment
to conditions as they exist. There
is something wrong with you if you
are in constant battle with things as
they are.
1t is your duty to yourself and to
those who love you, TO keep sweet
and calm and content as may be
with existing conditions. You must
strive Of course to improve things.
but don't fret and fume, if you find
1t out Of the question to make them
better. Try to adjust yourself to
things as they are, If they cannot be
b4ttered.
pf all tha difficult ailments TO
heal, the hardest is broken-hearted-
ness, home-sickness. or soul-yearning
from any cause. 1t is our duty, as
members of the family, as friends
and neigabors, to tighten the burdens
Of those who suffer in this manner.
Do not permit yourself to think
lightly OF such suffering as / have
described. 1t IL a real factor to be
regarded.

HNHERE were two Sarah Bern.
hardts-both actresses. One was
the Sarah that audiences saw
and worshipped for her true great
ness; the one who could portray on
the stage not only the glamour Of
Tosca and Fedora, but the poign-
ant tragedy Of Jeanne dare and
L'Aiglon; the one who made an en-
tire world ring with praise for mag
nificent art.
The other was the Sarah OF life,
an equally skilled actress. This was
the Sarah who. as Henry James said,
adopted the trade Of celebrity"
whose scandals and eccentricities
and extravagances made her the
most talked Of woman In the world.
1t would be a shame II this Sarah,
more striking to public fancy, were
to overshadow the real Sarah, the
Divine Sarah, whose art was more
to her than life itself.
Bernhard was the most amazing
combination Of human attributes.
The poet Rostand epitomized her as:
1.-The inpetuous feminine hand that
| yields scepter, thyrsus, dagger. fan.
sword. baubie, banner. sculptor's
chisel and horsewhip-it Is over
whelming!"
The ever-changing chameleon pat
tern Of the Divine Sarah's moods
was indeed overwhelming. Loyalty
she had-to her friends and to her
art-yet contracts were to her
| nothing more than scraps to be cast
aside If better opportunities arose.
And yet this seeming INSCRIPTIONS
ness may have been nothing more
than ~deepseated devotion to her
career - the determination to let
nothing mot even honesty - stand
between her and her destiny,
Through life she was true to her

The Modern Easter Gift.

ENASTER, once a time for candy
EI, eggs and Dummies and gaily
decorated baskets, has ad.
vanced TO the stage Of modernity
which BELTS the age. Nowadays
children expect gifts at Easter time
as well as Christmas, and it can
really be called a second Christmas.
OF course, the candy eggs and the
baskets are still part Of the sur.
prise. just as the stocking is emblem
attic Of Christmas. But just as
Christmas is incomplete with but the
stocking, so Is Easter with only ian.
dy and baskets.
Toy shops are showing the most
adorable things for children and the
gifts displayed are bewildering in
their array. Chief among them is
the modern dolls house. No longer
is this a square with funny little
divisions and paper furniture. Oh,
no. The modern child, with his
powers of observation trained to the
nth degree, demands that he play
with the things which are familiar
in every day life. Therefore, the
dolls house has assumed the proper
tons Of accuracy. in keeping with
modern Improvements.
Tiny elevators, which operate when
wound up are an innovation that
would startle u grandparents.
bathrooms as complete as those in
the home, kitchens with electric fix
lures that work; furniture that is an
exact replica of that which we use.
Indeed, the dolls houses look as
| though they were made for a family
of elves.
1t is almost unbelievable when
one sees the toys made to satisfy
our modern Oliver Twists. But they
are there, nevertheless, and it seems
to me that the grown-ups take as
much pleasure in them as the chill
dren.
So, If you feel so inclined, present
tiny daughter with a dolls house for
an Easter Gift, and her delight and
interest will sur you Of many
hours of happy content while she
alnuses herself with its ~intricacies

ming. What's an uneven part or a
crooked seam between friends?
When I took her for a drive. I
wouldn't spend a half hour tucking
her in. I wouldn't inquire anxiously
If she'd like the window lowered a
half inch more, or IL I should go
back for another blanket?
A girl likes attention, but she hates
to be fused over. If it looked like
rain, I wouldn't Immediately get all
worked up and wonder whether we
hadn't better start for home. I
wouldn't worry over whether I had
