Just
Every
Day
Sense

XXTOMEN do love to make
w mountains out Of mole
hills! "My 25-year-old daughter
is engaged to a very nice boy
said a worried mother, "but he
is six months younger than she
and somehow I always have felt
that it is better for the husband
to be several years the wife's
senior"
That is only another of those
hoary traditions that have been
handed down as sacred. The
quicker we explode them, the bet
ter.
It used to be the fashion for
men of 80 to marry girls of Is.
Economic and social conditions
made that a good policy. The
husband was supposed to be set
tied and wise and to act as guide
and mentor for his meek and in.
experienced spouse.
These marriages turned out
well, so far as the outsider could
see, because all marriages did
that. Divorce was a scandal and
brought disgrace on the family in
those days, so the merry maiden
became old overnight and nobody
worried about whether she was
happy Or not. She was married.
That was enough for any woman
then.
FITS impossible, I admit, for a
4 young girl and an older man
to be congenial. You can't make
set rules for selecting mates for
other people. But it's surely only
good sense to admit that two in
dividuaIs nearer the same age
would have better times together
and be more likely to hit it off.
So far as I can see, there's no
particular point in insisting that
a wife always be younger than
her husband. We outlive the men
two to one these days, anyway.
The country is cluttered up
with good-looking, lively, middle
aged widows whose dead husbands
were eight or ten years older than
they we're. We keep our health
and our looks better than men
do, and we have a good deal more
leisure in which to preserve our
beauty.
We have, in fact, completely
upset the orthodox belief in the
husbands seniority. The old
fashioned patriarch wore out
three or four young wives, where
as the modern woman easily can
outlive the same number of hus-
bands and still be going good.

CUTS SILK HOSE
BILLS TN TWO

A New York fashion expert has
found a simple, easy method to
double the wear of silk hose and
dndergarments. These articles, worn
next to the skin, wear out doubly
fast because of the perspiration and
Dther body excretions which soften
and rot the silk.
This lady found that soap and
water were inadequate for washing
such articles. She recommends
when washing silks to ad a table
spoonful Of Energine to every quart
of lukewarm, soapy water. Wash
and rinse as usual. This method
not only cleans thoroughly and
quickly but makes silks like new
with revived colors and pleasing
freshness. The difference in results
over the use of soap and water alone
will amaze you. It means longer
hfe--real economy.
Energine is unexcelled also for
quickly removing all dirt and grease
spots from dresses, hats gloves and
ties. Large can IS cents at any drug

Some of the scarfs in fashion on coats.

ATEW YORK, March SO.-If
IN you've finally decided on a
spring coat with a scarf-as so
many misunderstanding women have
just what kind is it going to be?
And that's one Of the best things
about spring 1881 scarf coat fash
ions. You've got dozens to choose
from. Most of them smart. Most
of them individual. And at least
one of them looking as though it
were designed especially for you.
You're going to have lots of fun
tying and arranging these scarfs.
Studying them. And finally pick
ing the one that suits you best.
Many Kinds to Pick From
You couldn't do this a few seasons
ago. Remember? Your coat had to
have either a shawl collar or a
johnny collar. And that was that.
Now there are scores of different
kinds Of collars. And scarfs just
about the most important of all.
Cravat scarfs. Bow-shaped Scarfs.
Scarfs that are half Of a rever. Small
ones that cross over and button
down onto the coat. Extra wide
ones that look like a cape when
you let them fall over one sohulder.
Long ones short ones .
wide ones narrow ones. Fabric
Scarfs and fur scarfs. And all can
be worn several ways.
Fur Scarf Grapes Easily
We've had sketched just a few
of the many different kinds. They're
some of the ones you'll see most
often this spring.
First the coat with the fur scarf.
Flat, soft, short-haired fur that ties
or Grapes as easily as cloth. The
one Illustrated above at the left is
Of errnine, but it might just as well
be of galyak.
White fur on a black or navy
coat is especially smart. But black
fur is fashionable, too.
In this scarf one end pulls through
slit on the opposite side, if you
want it fastened. But it's worn
smartly, too, with the ends left
loose and lying fiat like wide
rever.
Some scarfs of this type are de-

If the ap- parent paths through the field or stars of all these meteors IS plot. ted on a chart, it will be found that the paths all seem to come from. a spot within the constella- ton of Perseus, no matter in what part of the sky the meteors were actually seen. This is found by ex- tending the plotted paths back ward in the direction from which they came. Astronomers call this apparent point of origin the radi- ant point ofjthe shower. There Is of course no connection whatsoever between the stars of the Perseus constellation and the Perseid shower.
 Meteors or Shooting stars' are no doubt of the average size Of a small pea. Moving with great speed becaue of their small mass and the absence of any frictional- ly retaring medium in space, they suddenly fall into the compara- lively dense atmosphere or the earth. The heat generated by this impact is so intense that they are ouicky raised to incandescence. glowing brilliantly for a short time. They thus are quickly con stunned. though sometimes one of these wanderers is so large that remnant reaches the earth and may be put into a musernu. It Is interesting to note that no chemi- cal element unknown on the earth has thus far been found In any meteor.

August brings us the full de- velopment of the summer evening sky, with many a bright star and interesting constellation to engage our attention. High up overhead is blue-white Vega; toward the northeast is Deneb in the. constel- lation of Cygnus the Swan. and toward the southeast we find AL tair in Aquila, the Eagle. Each of these stars is of the first magni- tude. The three form a triangle that has a right angle at the yer tex marked by Vega; which is the brightest of all the fixed stars ly- ing north of the celestial equator and next to Sirius in brightness among all the stars visible from these northern attitudes. It lies in the constellation of Lyra, the Tyre or Harp, a small but interesting group. In classical mythology it represents the harp of Orpheus which aided him in the recovery of his bride Euridice from the powers of Hades.

Cecile Sorel, Famous French Actress, Claims Duce
 Would Have Been Marvel

Paris - Mussolini would have made a marvellous actor. according to Cecile Sorel, famous French actress of the Comedie- Trancaise, had politics not destined his career otherwise.
 The celebrated player of "grande coquette" roles on the Paris stage spent an hour in conversation with Il Duce recently. After her interview she expressed great sympathy and understanding for the man who governs his country with an iron hand but whose peo- pie. he says, know that he loves them.

 What a great artist he would have been" said Mile Sorel in an article Written in the French journal Comoedia. 'Immobile, concentrated, mysterious, he ob- serves everything and reveals nothing himself save to those to feelings. And if his ideas and interest, his thoughts are able, like blades of steel, to carve express sions on his face. I saw him, time and again, express, in almost the same instant, gravenegs, irony and tragedy. What an actor he could have been!

Most of them have a star-like nue. leus, and some few even have more than one star in their struc- ture. It is probable that the nebula itself glows because of the excita- tion of its atoms by light or other electric forces emanating from their stellar nuclei. The total num- Der of planetary nebulas in the sky is only between one hundred to one hundred and fifty. In size they are larger than the soar system, with diameters probably ranging from ten to twenty thousand times the distance of the sun from the earth. The diameter of the solar system is less than one hundred times this distance.
