ton Of marriage what people
do with it is the trouble!
AS the world is run at the
present time, marriage is the
only solution of the normal do
nestle problem. involving home
and children. Why don't people
make it honest, decent, fair, in
stead of degrading it with indif-
ference, neglect, wrongdoing?
Marriage is a partnership
not prolonged Irritation under
the auspices of the church, as SO
many people seem to think.
You wouldn't expect a bust
ness partnership to succeed if
you contributed to it negligence,
disregard Of rights and a willful
transgreSsion of the code. Why
do you expect marriage to thrive
on such omissions?
~ often thought that in ed
dition to the usual questions put
in the marriage ceremony the
following might be added: Are
you prepared to enter into this
relationship without consulting
your relatives about matters
which do not concern them?"
And, will you refrain from
telling mother, father or Aunt
Matilda of your wife'S or huS-
bands shortcomings" The
conclusion of the ceremony
would depend upon the forth
coming Il am"
Don't the first time anything
goes wrong, run off and tell
your mother, maiden aunt or
your best friend. If your bust
ness happened to be a little
shaky, you wouldn't talk about
it. You'd hold up your head,
whistle and maintain it was
Splendid-why don't you do the
same with marriage? At least
give it a fair trial.
Paul Moineau, an electrical
engineer of Paris, says that the
body is a walking wireless in
Strument, capable Of receiving
and sending out messages
think well what messages you
send out; perverSe, unhappy,
fault-finding messages are like
ly to react on the sender.

An Authority on Problems of

A FEW days ago, at a "Ce-
"A lebrity Breakfast" in Wash

(Who declared a California

statement that she had never
seen a happy marriage, and
never hoped to see one.
The lady, who described her
self as an actress. a novelist
and sometime taxicab driver.
said: If there is such a thing
as a happy marriage in Amer
lea. it's because one of the
parties has compromised, and
therefore both are not happy"
She went on to state that
she was the child of divorce"
and because of it had been

divorced her husband because

Timely Topics

Emaciated girls, like the
heavyweights. don't fire up
much enthusiasm for exercise.
There is a reason. When the
body is undernourished there
are no energy-building proc
esses going on. Body heat is
diminished. Spirits are slug
gish. Light calestheniCs and
deep breathing are necessary
to the featherweight; they stir
up appetite and the lean one
can look a lamb chop in the
face without shuddering. Every
meal should be topped off with
a glass of milk and cream,
half and half. Nothing like
milk to put fat on the ribs.
Except cod liver oil.

ors more often than not. In
fact, there's a decided trend
toward plain colors and quiet
effects in all parts of mans
wardrobe. When the new shirts
are figured, they are in neat
pin stripes. Detached collars
are going out, most men pre-
ferring the collar-attached type.
That's mainly because they've
been improved recently so that
they fit correctly now. Medium
point collars are bent. and on
spring and summer shirts, most
of them will be soft.
There's new tab collar at
tached to shirts, which means
a device to hold the collar
down instead of wearing a pin
or clasp. 1t is already proving
a great favorite. Then there's
the dickey bosom shirt, also u
collar-attached type, which is
worn by a great many men,
but is more of a winter type.
Plain color ties are first in
fashion. Then small figured
foulards and meat pin stripes.
Young men often prefer regi-
mental crosS-Stripes, sometimes
in their school colors. Lighter
Colors will come in for summer.
Knitted ties promise to return,
but so far are very exclusive
fashion. The new knitted ties
are very different from the old
type. They are soft and will
make a smaller knot. Shorts
and shirts are the accepted
type of underwear. Shirts
worn by well-dressed men are
of fine white Isle. ShO,tS are
best in plain colors. College
men like a stripe down the side
in favorite color. They are
smartest of cotton, end-to-end
madras or broadcloth.
Pajamas also favor plain
colors-and they are colorful.
If man now prefers to be con-
sentative in his day attire, he
lets his imagination run free
when he selects his sleeping
garments. The newest style Is
the CLUB mildly" which has a
neat collar, tailored and becom-
ing. Broadcloth is the best
fabric.
The newest thing in hosiery
is vertical striped patterns.
Clicked effects are just about
as good, however. Silk mix
lures" are most fashionable,
which means a mixture of silk,
rayon and Isle.
Again, in flannel robes we
find plain colors predominating.
And flannel is better than silk,
of course always simply tailored.
New gloves for spring are the
slip-on type, best in washable
deerskin, in new light shades,
faWn and mocha. This Slip-On
is just long enough to cover the
wrist, with a little vent at the
side to make it go on easily.
Colorful stone jewelry is
worn, always chosen to har-
monte with the short, tie, etc.
Sets of cuff-links, collar pins
and dickey bosom studs are ex-
tremely smart.
First and foremost, accessories
must be chosen with the suit in
mind, and in ensemble theme.
Tones of one color or two har-
monizing colors are equally good,
but must not be mixed indis-
Criminately.

cussion Monday night at the regu-
lar meeting Of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation.
Oliver Busby, chairman Of the
Public SafeGy Committee, re-
eerted that land ON the west
side Of Wisconsin Avenue was u1-
ODtainable at present, so 1t was
decided by his committee that 9
walk on the east side would be
6f help.
= One delegate claimed that this
would endanger children more
than before, as they would, In 0
great many cases, have to cross
the avenue twice coming from
the west to the east and back
again.
Al resolution from Section 8 Of
Chevy Chase Regulations was
read by William b. Armstrong,
secretary Of the Federation. It
told that the Georgetown Gas
Light Company's application for
lower rates in Maryland had been
f9fuised by the Maryland Public
Utilities Commission as being toe
drastic q cut. II the rlimor is
true, said the resolution, the com
raission should be appealed to
and asked to cooperate with the
citizens in the obtaining Of lower
. eas rates.
The following officers were
elected at last nights meeting:
