that it's as suitable for after

know how dressed-up we feel
for all daytime occasions, you'd
rush downtown and buy an OK

(Which practically gives away
our secret of the pair we finally
bought. It's a three-eyelet tie,
with a covered heel just a mite

have it trimmed in calf, as

by Logan CIendenlng, M. -
Educators generally are
agreed that the posture Of
school children today is their
worst physical fault. This
fault increases right up through
youth and adult life,. SO that
today we have a race dis
tinguished by the worst bodily
posture of many generations.
Perhaps the worst bodily pos
ture since the beginning Of
history.
Why this should be true is
not easy to determine. Prob
ably it is not due to any one
cause.
Tendency of Times
An ingenious theory has been
advanced to the effect that by
modern methods of hygiene we
are saving more of the chill
dren of the slender, droopy
type and as these are the most
prolific we are nourishing a
generation doomed to bad pos
lures.
Undoubtedly also the COM
forts and improvements of
modern life have tended to in
crease poor posture habits. The
average boy or girl of today
does not have to do so much
physical work as did their
grandparents at the same age.
There is little wood chopping
for fires, there is even little
shovellng of coal into furnaces.

Second Marriage
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am to be married next
month. AS I am divorced I
should like to know what to
wear. I would like to wear
all white and a veil. Is that
wrong? It will be just a small
wedding, just q few friends.
Could I have a small church
wedding?
THANK YOU.
The wedding attire that you
would like to wear I fear you
mustn't, because the bride-for-
a-Second-time should not wear q
white wedding dress or the
bridal veil or orange blossoms.
And if you do wear this attire,
you will undoubtedly, and quite
juStifiably, be criticized.
Instead wear a frock of
some charming and becoming
shade and harmonizing hat.
By all means have a church
wedding, if this is permissible
in your denomination.

Motor Car SLOUGH
The change from horse trans
portation to automobiles is
quite as suggestive as a cause.
You can't slouch when you ride
a horse or drive a buggy. The
very lines and build of modern
automobiles tend to emphasize
a dropping, round-shouldered
posture And the long tours
that the automobile lends itself
to, the stretches of time that
are spent in this dropping pos

fix the round-shouldered sitting

Clothes are often difficult to
dry in frosty weather; if a hand
full Of common salt is put in the
rinsing water they will not
freeze when hung out to dry.
Cut flowers last longer when
a little salt or soda is put in the
