from the Sunday night that
Fay told me of her admiration
for his clean-cut appearance.
Of course this pleased him
immensely. though he blushed
to the roots of his hair. Then
as we continued to dance. I
said to Fay, well, how about
putting in a good word for me
with the little girl with the
turned-up nose?" Fay obtained
a pencil from one of the wait
ers, and was about to write a
note on one of the menus, but
I told her that the gallantry
was mine, and that it really
did not demand reciprocation
on her part.
1t is Fay's comradeship and
her intelligent understanding
of my sincere and whole
hearted admiration of beauty in
women, her bouyancy, the tink-
ling of her laughter, her ami
nation and the intelligent
beauty of her dark eyes that
make our association such an
extremely pleasant one. 1t is
the very element of chance
which maks love and marriage
a thrilling adventure. rather
than a mere cut and dried in
cidental chapter of ones life.
Will Make Her Happy
I consider it a vital part of
my position as husband to try
to keep Fay in love with me.
I was about to say that I con-
slider it a part of my duty. but
in my opinion the question of
duty does not enter into real
love. Often, where duty be-
gins. love begins to end.
Whatever I do for Fay, I do
willingly, gladly, but certainly
out of no sense Of duty. When
two people love each. other.
whatever duties they may have
toward each other are auto

girls, which admiration I admit.
This girl was nattily dressed in
a white sports costume trimmed
with a brilliant red. which went

color and we'll dressed appear
ance. She, too, was there at
the club itself during the eve
ming dinner dance, and I had
pointed her out to Fay as an
object of my admiration. But
it was while dancing that sur
prised Fay.
A Good Sport
We were near the orchestra
when I Intentionally danced
close to the musician as he sat
there resting. When close
enough to speak to him I said
It's a good thing 1 married
my wife when 1 did, or you
would have taken her away
from me-" My reason for say
ing that was that we had
danced in that same room at

Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

By DR.. Logan Clendening
Flies have been blamed for
doing a great deal Of harm in
spreading disease, but the dan
ger from them has been some
what exaggerated.
"Swat the fly" is still a good
slogan, however, as much for
the sake of comfort as OF
health. But the swat the lily
campaign did not do one frac-
tional part as much to decimate
the fly as the invention Of the
automobile and the disappear
ance of the horse.
With the removal Of stables
and consequently Of manure
piles, flies lost their most IA
vorable breeding places and
hence were stopped at the
source.
Breeders of Disease
Typhoid fever was the disease
in the old horse and buggy era
that was especially attributable
to flies. The method Of spread
was by contamination of food.
The excrements from a typhoid
patient contain many million
typhoid germs even after con-
valescence is over, and flies
lighting on this get the germs
on their feet and into the
sucking stomach and then fly-
ing to food and walking over
it or regurgitating saliva from
the sucking stomach onto the
food contaminate it.
For this reason alone, but
also to prevent contamination
of the drinking-water supply, all
the dejecta of a typhoid
patient should be thoroughly
sterilized before being disposed
Of. Typhoid is now, however,
a rare disease.
AAOA-CAy VVEA
Another disease spread by
flies is infantile diarrhoea, the
germs of which are spread by
flies in the same way as is
typhoid. Anti,fly work in New
York, directed by DR.. Arm
strong, has been, thought to
have done much towards the
reduction in the incidence OF
this disease. Flies can, OF
course, contaminate wounds,
and a fly in a surgical operat-
ing room causes as much COM
motion as an escaped circus
tiger in a village street.
Careless tuberculosis patients
who spit in the open may, in
this way, spread disease by
giving flies the chance to light
on the Sputum and, catching
tuberculosis germs on their
j.. legs, light on another persons
mouth or noStril and leave the
infection there.

of our change of feeling, if we
become positive of it.
I take great delight now in
. finding my breakfast and din
ner arranged for me by one
who knows just what I want,
and who joins me at these
meals, and whom I find more
often with me than before. And
we are going to be careful that
it never shall become a hum
drum, marital existence, which
has killed romance in so many
cases.
Likes Plump Girls
Only last Sunday night while
dancing and dining at West
chester, New York, club at which
I once led a small orchestra
from New Haven, we both had
considerable fun in our respec-
tive adnirations for two people
whom we found there. In the
orchestra which furnished the
music for the dancing was
tall, very good-looking musician.
His voice was strong and well
developed. He was charming,
modest and extremely naive
young man, whom 1 had met
several months ago in Chicago,
and to whom l had talked in the
swimming pool that afternoon.
In fact. had promised to send
a picture to his sister, who was
one of my radio fans.
l knew instantly that he was
the kind to appeal to Fay, be-
cause I know the type of man
she xadmireS. / wasn't at all sur
priSed when she asked me who
he was and something about
him.
While swimming at the beach
club in the afternoon, my fancy
had been caught by a little girl,
shorter than Fay, and of an en-
tirely different type, much
plumper. In fact, Fay kids me
about my admiration for plump

Mrs. Solomon Says

My Daughter, consider Cne
fashionable Beach Resort,
where the wild waves eter-
nally pursue their beating upon
the shore, and the wild women
eternally pursue the MEN!
Where the men adorn them
selves in flowing garments
which modestly cover their
shrinking forms. and the
women wear the trousers.
Where the sole aspiration
and occupation of life is q
sun-tanned back. And bare legs
are frankly displayed in all
their glory of peeling skin and
mosquito bites.
Where the pajamas are
gayer than the chorus-girl'S
whoopee party, and the spread
ing hats rival the aurora
borealis, even as the noses Of
the men and the shoulders Of
the women rival the summer
sunsets.
Where the rich widows are
followed by their Suitors and
gigolos, but the damsels sigh
YEARLY and walk ALONE in
the moonlight.
Where the dowagers do
many stunts to reduce their
tonnage, and thereby acquire
an appetite for pate de foie
gras and cream puffs, which
putteth on the extra pounds.
Where raviShing damSels are
as plentiful as the sands Of the
shore, and eligible men are
scarcer than buffalo, and
harder to attain than q pent-
house apartment.
Where a new love blossom

Where the lips of the dam

Where the eyes of the women

Chapter XIV

How does it feel to be married?
have been asked this question many times in the
past three weeks that feel should discuss it thor
oughly today.
1t may seem very funny to you when tell you that
feel little, if any, different than did four weeks ago.
The reason for this is quite simple.
Practically year ago, after Fay had visited me
twice in New York. and she had spent several months
with my father and mother and me, we had come to
the conclusion that day would be married
The Washington times., 1931-08-12

matically taken care Of by
their mutual feelings.
I will always try to provide
Fay with whatever she wants,
not because of my natural OBJ
legations of a husband to sup
port and provide for his wife,
but because 1 love her and
want to please her, and De-
cause want her to love me.
She has precisely the same
attitude toward me. Often
when she does something for
me, I say to her:
why, you didn't have to do
that. I could have done it my
self"
Her invariable reply is some
thing like this:
"Of course, dear, I didn't
have to do it. But I wanted
to do it. If I thought I had
to, I wouldn't have wanted bc.''
For that matter, so are men
perverse creatures. There are
few men of real spirit who
liked to be forced into doing
anything. They Immediately
become stubborn. Every man
and every woman likes to feel
that they have some choice
that they are free agents.
Every wife and every husband
desires their actions toward
each other to be dictated by
their mutual emotions rather
than by compulsion.
When a husband finds him.
self doing something for his
wife because he thinks he
should, rather than because he
really wants to do it, then he
can know that the sharp edge
of his love is beginning to dull.
The same is true of the wife.
Have Certain Duties
I fear that the failure to un-
derStand this phase of human
psychology often results in un-
happiness.
OF course, believe husbands
and wives have certain duties
toward each other; certain
things they should do for each
other; but under ideal circum-
stances such duties are held as
privileges rather than burden
some obligations to be per-
formed under mental protest.
Marriage requires mutual re-
adjustments, and these re-
adjustments may seem to re.
quire mutual sacrifices; but
when true love is present one
does not think of them as sac
rifices. If one thinks of them
at all, one considers them as
investments which bring large
returns in happiness.
Fortunately, Fay and I are so
much alike in tastes and ideas
and reactions, that we found
no major readjustmentS nee
eSsary. But human beings are
not static. Their ideas change;
their hearts change: their emo
tions shift. Every husband,
every wife, must be always on
the alert to hold love.
