Has to Give In to His Whims
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am engaged to a young
man who is very good looking
and popular with every girl.
I love him very much and sacri-
flee all my good times, such as
dancing, shows, ETC., because he
doesn't believe in such things.
He used to show his love for me
by being sweet and considerate,
but lately he only shows his
love under the moon and when
the stars are shining, or if we
are in a romantic setting.
He doesn't care for my SIS
ter, because she says things
about my having to sacrifice
all my good times for him.
I give in to all his petty
whims, because it really doesn't
hurt me to give in; but it hurts
me that he never gives in to
anything. I'm happy out
wardly, but I'm not happy in
my mind and thoughts.
B. c. H.
When you have to do much
giving in before marriage, it's
probable you'll have to give in
even more afterward. A young
man who does not believe in
shows, dancing or other inno-
cent amusements strikes me as
a doubtful hfe-partner for a girl
who does like and approve Of
these things.
Besides, my dear, there are
many long periods Of time in
married life when the moon is
not shining, and when there is
no romantic setting. The things
that keep people together are
comradeship, good sportsman
ship, mutual love and respect.
you tell me that while you are
happy outwardly, you are not
happy in your thoughts and

with somebody else. I've
promised to try the tango with
Arch"
1t was fun while it lasted.
It lasted until Julian Haver-
holt Strolled out on the piazza.
Patricia was waltzing with
Clark. Haverholt didn't say,
Break" He never bothered to
dance. He said, Come inside a
moment, Patricia, when you
finish this. I have something
important to discuss with you."
Julian closed the door Of
the Tracy living room. Through
the open window, Sweetened by
distance, come a drift Of music
from the piazza. The others
still were dancing.
Patricia seated herself with a
swish Of taffeta, crossed her
ankles, glanced at the man as
he turned.
"Well?" she said.
Have you been enjoying
yourself, my dear?" he inquired.
He looked at her quizzically.
He said, II thought at dinner
that you seemed little SUBJ
dued."
"You were wrong she re-
piled serenly, "I've been having
a wonderful time. They have
all been marvellous to me-"
Adventures.
'That's good" he acceded
but indifferently, as if the
matter were of small import,
as if the two of them had
never debated her wisdom in
coming here. She looked at
him sharply. There was solne-
thing new in his manner, a
certain suppressed excitement.
She waited. He said, IT came
out today. That's what made
me so late"
She accepted the magazine
he extended, the Bridge Uni
verse, publication belonging
to Reuben Blair, published every
month. Patricia had seen
copies often, had heard Haver-
holt'S far from laudatory COM
mentS on the publication. He
called 1t alternately, "Blair's
Monthly Folly" and "a Short

The Beauty
Box

Practically every woman flirts
with the idea of dyeing her hair
when the first white threads
appear. All right. It can be
done. There's many a colored
crown that passes for the vir-
gin growth.
But know your dye, woman.
Scout around, find the exact
right shade. Follow directions
given by the manufacturer,
don't try to improve upon the
product by adding other in
gradients. Hair dyeing is the
hardest, most ticklish, job done
in the beauty shop.
Fatted calves can be Slen-
derized, but they won't change
in a few weeks; it takes
months to knock off fat cells,
to reduce measurements.
High kicking is recommended.
Bicycling is the perfect means
Of leg molding. Stand up on
the toes. Run upstairs.
Massage won't do a thing
unless it is heavy enough to
crush adipose tissue. Clasp
the hands around the leg,
forming a bracelet, send fin
gers round and round with
heavy pressure. Best, Of course,
to apply some lubricant like
coconut oil or lanoline. Fol-
low the massage with an ice
cold sponging and a rouSing
old friction with Q coarse
towel. =

The Refuge
Oh, the mind must have still
for its Solace
Aerefuge from care and regret,
Where thought flies from the
hazards Of loving
AS a bird by the storm beSet!
Some cling to the love Of a
dear one
Or the tender dream Of q home;
But my heart finds its peace
in the vision
OF sea gulls and wind-tossed
foam.
For my haven, a low, white
island
Where the golden sunbeams
burn,
And thither with joyous wing
ing
Do my memories ever return.
An island where only gladnesS
And laughter and song were
mine,
And all through the day and
the night time
The wind from the sea was
like wine!
For the heart must have still
for its comfort
A fortress from worry and
fret,
And my thoughts seek that
golden islynd.

daytime that light is necessary
on the luncheon table, or un-
less the dining room is dark
ened. If the dining room is
blessed by light of day" we
should capitalize this light, and
not add artificial light on our
luncheon tables.
The tendency nowadays, as
you say, is distinctly toward
simplicity. toward having very
few decorations on our tables,
only those that are needed.
The luncheon table, with a
lovely centerpiece and with a
comport placed on each side of
this centerpiece, is sufficiently
decorated as to central decora-
ton"
2. In a strict sense the height
of our candlesticks indicates
the degree of formality Of the
dinner. That is, the strictly
formal" dinner table is lighted
with candles in tall candle
sticks or candelabra. Informal
tables may use either medium
candlesticks or candelabra, or
short candlesticks.
The medium height candel.
abra is very popular today,
holders that carry either two
or three candles. They add
great charm to the table deco
ration, and at the moment
seem to be more appealing to
hostesses than the individual
candleSticks. They come in
silver, sterling and plated, in
glass, in interesting pottery, and
in metals like brass and cop

3. While technically a taper
is a small wax candle, the term
is used today more for any kind
of candle that "tapers" from
the thcik part that fits into
the candlestick to the point
where the candle is lighted.
Some people prefer the taper
ing candle. and some prefer
the straight candle. Person.
ally I think that the straight
candle is much more lovely and
effective. But it is entirely a
matter Of choice.

Secrets Of Health

How to Recognize and Profit
by Your Defense Reactions

How to Recognize and Profit
by Your Defense Reactions
Have you ever observed that
very tall persons walk with a
stoop, while contrariwise, those
who are of the short stature
wear clothes that tend to make
them look taller? Or have
you noticed that many bristling
mustaches cover a weak mouth
or that fierce-looking boards
are often worn by very mild
hammered men?
Well, these are examples Of
what psychology terms defense
reactions" In other words, the
individual who harbors one is
pretending to be something
which he is not; he is, figura-
lively speaking, defending"
himself against a conviction Of
being too tall or too short, Of
not looking or feeling mas
culine enough, or whatever the
handicap which he thinks to
De true may pc.
Few, if any, of us are entirely
free from defense reactions.
Sometimes we know we are pre-
tending and then we do it de-
liberately and consistently;
sometimes the motivation arises
from the unconscious mind and
we do not realize we are behav-
ing that way until the habit is
pointed out and explained.
Defense reactions are a sort
Of "whistling in the dark"
mechanism. We whistle be-
cause we are afraid. But we
don't like to admit it. Further
more, the very act of whistling,
artificially trumped up for the
occasion though it is, neverthe-
less actually helps to give us
courage.
Whenever you or anyone you
know exhibits an exaggerated
reaction, quite out of keeping
with what the circumstances
warrant you may safely suspect
a defense reaction to be in op-
Grafton.
Let us suppose, as an hypoth-
esis, that you are total alb
Stainer from alcoholic beverages
Of every kind. Then suppose,
furthermore, that you are a
guest at a party where alcohol
flows freely.

"I'd rather dance"
I'D rather not"
So they joined the others,
the group gathered in he
swing and lounging on the
divan, the group that had
watched and whispered. Marthe
was the center of that group,
Marthe with a brandy glass
on the arm of her chair,
Marthe with cigarette burn
Ing between her fingers, Marthe
who was talking so gayly that
she hardly seemed to notice
their approach. But Patricia
felt quite sure that she had.
Phil did.
Phil said ironically, Don't

piled Patricia, tanning herself.

announced Clark. "How about
you Patricia?'
Thanks no, I'll be all right
in a minute"
A Skirmish.
Marthe became conscious of
their arrival. She glanced in
their direction, blew out a long
plume Of smoke, said indiffer-
emily, "Well, you two have been
absorbed. I had almost for
gotten you were here"
Patricia looked at the other
girl.
$50 had we," she said briefly.
A breath of unease ran
through the group. The tables
were turned with a vengeance.
Marthe was afraid now, for all
her bright gaiety, for all her
air of cool Indifference. Pa
tricia knew it. She exulted in
the thought. Clark might be
engaged to Marthe, but tonight
he belonged to her. She saw
and the other girl saw how he
settled at her feet, how he
listened for her every word, how
he could not seem to tear mis-
eyes away. Tonight, there was
no doubt of it, tonight be-
longed to Patricia.
She had had her chance to
be kind. She could say to

Cut Him Down to Two
Evenings a Week


Dear Miss Fairfax:
When I first began to go with
her I didn't care much, but
alas, it's different now. I'm 20
and she is Is. We've been
going STEADY" for six months,
but the other night we had an
ment and she said:
whats the use of going
Steady when we can't get
along?"
But we were getting along
swell until that argument
started. I don't see how can
stay away from her a single
evening, but she has cut me
down to two a week. Worse
than that, she has told me
can go out with other girls.
felt so badly over this couldn't
keep back the tears, and she
was all broken up, too. I have
no job, which makes things
worse. I believe it would be all
different if I had even a small
job. j. C.
AS I've said to so many boys
who have written similar let
ters to this column, try to pre-
pare yourself for a job, now that
jobs are coming. Naturally girls
hesitate to marry boys who are
unemployed, and, if girls do not
hesitate, their parents make
things pretty difficult for the
prospective son-in-law VII o is
"idle." If you have no regular
trade or business training, now
is the time to get ready for one
of those million jobs which we
have been assured will be ready
by october /. Take up voca-
tional training.
You and your girl have made
up about the argument, by this
time, I'm sure. She broke down;
that shows she cares.

Helpful Hints for
Housewives

Put a drop or two of oil or
some soap on those squeaky
door hinges.
Dry salt sprinkled immedi-
ately on a new fruit Juice stain
will often prevent a permanent
stain.
To clean bottles-put half
teaspoon Of salt and little
water. Shake well. It will
clean instantly.
To keep the bottom Of gar
bage pail from rusting, pour in
hot paraffin, covering about
half inch.
A pinch of salt aids in
whipping or beating egg whites
quickly. II

Candles at the Table

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

discussing candles on a lunch

Beauty Hint

A new trick with the little
dollies who must strut their
beauty stuff before the crowds
catch on are using eye shadows
to tint their lashes. 1t means
that when they sweep the blue
or green or purple cream over
their lids they include eye lam
berquins.
The scheme won't work very
well on black lashes, but it acts
like magic on light ones. EX-
otic, and gives the onlooker
something to talk about.

ably do is refuse politely even
If the invitation is urgently
pressed. At any rate, you do
not become emotional, or fly
IN a rage, or grab your hat
and leave the company in q
huff and forthwith.
If you did behave that way,
however, you surely would be
suffering from a defense re-
action as regards the imbibing
Of alcohol. You would be dis
playing an unnecessary emo
tional upheaval over a circum-
stance that would normally be
handled with a smile. What
you would be revealing to any
psychologist, also, would be the
fact that you have an uncon-
sciouS weakness for alcohol and
that to stop you from drink
ing-from yielding to uncon-
Scious temptation-it was neceS-
sary for your mind, on the con-
scious level, to protect you by
means Of resistance to the prof
fered drink that amounted to
violence.
Discovering what your own
defense reactions are, as we'll
as those of your friends, is both
interesting and valuable.

DIR. BiSch's Daily Diet Hint
Sensitive stomachs should
only eat sparingly, if at all, Of
what might be termed "concen-
trated" foods. Such are nuts,
cheese, candy and acid fruits.
In candy the sugar is concen-
trated and only should it be
eaten in small amounts at the
very end Of a meal. Acid fruits
had best be diluted with water
as in lemonade. Nuts and cheese
should always be taken in COM
bination with some other non-
concentrated food, such as
bread.

Never Disturb A Satisfactory
Condition Except to Improve 1t
One Of the most useful max
inns to remember is: "Never
disturb a satisfactory condition
except to improve it." Unless
your side has game chances or
can defeat further bidding Of
any nature, what possible harm
can it do to allow the other
side to play a contract that
can get them nowhere? Had
North passed East's bid that
he could have defeated he
would have been observing this
maxim. Instead of this sane
procedure, North afforded East

BEHOLD THE MAN.

Jesus is more significant today than ever before in the history of the human race. In discussing this significance Dr. Friedrich |Rittelmeyer, In his volume "Be- hold the Man" says Jesus can be of service to all those who seek to attain true humanity. This seeking and yearning is, as yet, not really strongly prevalent in the world. Very few people have the faintest notion of the splendor and nobility of true humanity. In spite of eur high industrial de- velopment, the culture of mans inner nature is still dominated by a barbarian which greatly alarms those with the,t insight to appraise it correctly, But the signs of coming change increase in number.
