that Mr.. Jones has not done So

wife-is proof positive that he is
a Coarse. Unfeeling Brute.
When Mr. Jones comes home

And after it is all over he says
to himself for the millioneth time
that women are mysterious, un-
reasonable creatures and that no
man can understand them any

81 heartily sympathize with Mr..
Jones, but / can't agree with his
statement.
There's nothing mysterious about
the female sex. There always
have been plenty of reasonable
women who think straight and
say what they meant and their
number Is increasing. The Secret
Sorrow Sisterhood exasperates real
women as much as they do men.
But there's reason for them
two reasons, in fact.
The first reason is male vanity;
the second is female conceit.
Many males prefer female nit
wits because, thereby. they shine
by contrast. Why do so many
men marry something the cat
wouldn't drag in? That's why.
And the second reason is that
many silly women get big bang
out of being misunderstood. There
really nothing to understand about
them-they're about as complicated
as a hen canary. But they like to
feel that they're all full of sub
tIeties and complexities which
some Big, Busy Boy should spend

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
-By DR.. Louis 3. Bisch-

HAVE you ever asked your.
IA self whether you really know
the truth about yourself?
Is 1t not true that you are for
ever making excuses for your
failures or your mistakes or your
misdeeds, whatever they may he?
II you look back and examine
your life carefully, is 1t not a fact
that seldom, il ever, have you ad'
mitted that you were entirely and
absolutely at fault and believed it?
1t is astonishing how little we
really change.
After the pattern of our minds
Is set down in the early years of
childhood We adhere to 1t with
striking fidelity.
Observe how haphazardly you
really have come by your pet
theories, your creeds. your habits,
your manners and customs.
Ind how you resent any II ter.
ference with what you have held
for years to be right and proper as
regards yourself.
If you watch your own reac-
tions you win note that you are
always pleased when anybody
agrees with you. But not t-..y
are ou displeased when they dis
agree, you may even become re.
sentful.
l have PAINTED a picture OF the
average mind exceptions, OF
course, are to be found every
where.
No one who cares about his
mind, however, who wants to
make it the best possible instru-
ment, can afford to neglect self
appraisal and self-criticism.
Any mind can be made a better
mind than it is no matter how
fine a mind it may already be.
The greatest men and women
could have been greater still.
But it takes courage to dig deep
and find out what you really are.
To recognize and free oneself of
prejudices is a task which calls
for unusual spirit and sports
manship.
We must not, to be sure. be
willing to admit our faults too
quickly. Such people actually ex-
list. They are forever being led
and directed. by others. They
never defend themselves. They are
too ready to change. They are
too passive for their own good.
Be sure your alleged fault is
really a fault before you resolve
to eradicate it from your mental
makeup. Don't be overlenient
with yourself, but don't, on the
other hand. be oVersevere.
There are thousands who have
fair idea Of how they should
change, but they labor under the
mistaken notion that it Is too late.

SGKXTHAT are the chances OF hap
w piness in marriage" asks
Doubtful Thomas"
That depends on your sporting
qualities, Thomas. Because mar
riage is the best and biggest
sporting proposition on earth? But
it is no game for pikers, shirkers
and poor sports.
II you are a prize egoist, or
mothers pet; il you are spoilea
and lazy and sef-indulgent. yon
haven't much chance of finding
happiness in marriage. But, then
YOU haven't a chance OF being
happy, anyhow. So. what's the
odds?
II you are jealous. suspicious,
tyrannical and exactiEg, the same
thing holds true-in or OUT OF
marriage. You were born TO be
pitied-but not to be married.
If YOU are a foolish visionary,
who looks forward to marriage as
one long, glamorous petting party
one long series of Saturday
nights with no Monday mornings
You had better wake up from
the dream before the wedding in
stead of after the honeymoon.
Because, even il dreams came
true, a life of perpetual thrl!is
and everlasting kisses would be
about as deadly as, the old-fash'
ioned notion OF Heaven. with norh'
ing to do but sit around and play
the harp.
II you are a plunger, a poor
picker and a bad chooser, who
are willing to gamble your hap
piness on pair of dimpled knees
or a momentary infatuation, you
had better avoid matrimony as
you would wood alcohol, because
your chances of losing are
hundred TO one.
But il you are normally sane,
fair.minded, intelligent manor
woman-you will find marriage
the one Best Bet in life!
If you realize that choosing a
life partner is not only more
important than choosing a bridge
partner or dance partner, but
the most vital act of your life,
You will be awfully careful to
pick someone who is as sane and
fair.minded as you are.
II you understand that marriage
Is not merely a Strange inter-
lude," or a jest, or a pleasant ad'
venture, or one-sided affair but
$3.50 partnership, you will be will
ing to work at it and to share
in the sacrifices as we'll as in the
assets and joys-just as you would
In any other business partnership.
If you realize that love and sf.
lection and true companionship
are the only things that make
this life worth living, you will
treasure them carefully and not
fling them away in a fit of temper
or for an idle adventure or for
anything else in this foolish old
world.
Your chances Of finding happi.
ness in marriage are not 100 per
cent-but your chances of being
happy outside of marriage are
NOTHING!
Your chances OF being happy in
this LIFE are not 100 per cent.
But would you rather be DEAD?
