DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
1. When asking a person for a
reference, priest or friend, for
instance. Is It right to offer him
money? If so, how much?
2. When going to a person to
ask for a reference how should
one ask?
8. When asking your employer
for reference what should
you say? A READER.
No, do not offer the person,
whoever ba or she is, money for
giving yoS a reference. AS a
matter of fact, nothing should be
more objective, and to offer money
might so easily be interpreted as
bribing.
2. 1t is far better, when asking
this favor, to write to the person
and ask for the reference. Then
the person will be given time to
think it over, and to say, in the
reference, exactly what he or she
wishes to sponsor.
3. Quite directly say, MIR.
Marchbanks, l hope you feel that
you can give me reference and
II you do, will you please he so
kind as to write one for, me?"

HOUSEHOLD
HINTS

Vanished wood is best cleaned
with cold tea strained from the
leaves. II the wood Is very
dirty, a little warm soap and
water may be used, but only to
remove the outer dirt: the tea
will not injure the varnish.
Artificial silks are extremely
fragile in water. They must never
be wrung or rubbed, but squeezed
gently through the hands In a
soapy solution.
Tea and coffee should not be
stored near each other unless they
are in tins.

Sue and Ed felt that at last their
dreams had come true.
Two months later their romantic
Grandmother's we'll went dry and
Ed had to carry every bit OF
water they used from the nearest
neighbours, two blocks away. Sue
meant well, but what she did not
know about cooking would fill
large volume. Her biscuits, too
leathery to eat, burned roast and
tasteless vegetables irritated Ed,
and caused her tears of humilia-
ton and rage. Yet someway,
these two carried on in sheer
desperation at times, other times
with sudden pride and joy in
their achievements and with surv-
ly increasing content and affec-
tionate understanding.

When Commander Byrd was
journeying to Paris after his
heroic trip across the ocean in
the Inflated plane that sank off
the French coast. crowds came at
each station to honor him and
his crew. One little girl was held
up to the train window to present
him with a single red rose. For,
to the French, the red rose is
more than beautiful and fragrant
lit is a mystic symbol of beauty,
romance and perfection, fit tribute
to a hero! The rose stands for
romance-is romance!
Somewhere deep within their
hearts, all normal, wholesome
men and women are romantic.
But the modern fashion is to con-
ceal the romantic attitude toward
life under a prosaic, hard.boiled
manner, If not to deny romance,
altogether. Yet men and women
want more than boring material
ism, more than necking, drinking.
cheap vamping, hail-fellow-well-
met comradeship, quick divorce!
where is there a girl with
idealism?" countless young men
ask me in their letters. Modern
girls are so filled with noisy ma
terialism that they laugh at you
IL you mention the word ro-
nance"
Thousands of girls, on the other
hand, are looking for young men
who are not sheiks,-men with
standards!
Both quests are likely to be
successful in the long run. June
roses still bloom in June gardens
as they always have. Despite the
fad of vulgarity, calling itself
sophistcation, there are countless
homes today blessed with simple
happiness and peace, governed by
high ideals. For every jazz doll
baby there are hundreds Of self
respecting girls who dream OF
love and marriage to the one
man. But those rose-girls go
their way quietly without the
blare of saxophone and from
bone.
Roses have their thorns. Love
and marriage present undeniable
difficulties, battling problems,
practical hardships. If you are
careful you can pluck a rose and
enjoy to the full extent its love-
illness and fragrance without being
hurt by its thcrns. So 1t Is with
love and marriage.
Thoughtfulness and unselfish de-
votion bring success to the mar
riage of suitable love and friend
ship. But the girl and young man
who think happiness will descend
on them without effort Of their
own, because they marry for love,
have disilluslonment in store.
