Modern Home Decoration Service
 Gifts for the house are always welcome at Yuletide at Yuletide and this year the approaching Christmas season brings many new things to add to the comfort and charm of the home. Among them the ottoman, so soft and comfort able, and at the same time so dec- orative in the modern manner is of unusual interest. It comes in lacquered fabrics as well as in 3 rubberized fabric resembling horse hide and is shown in many color combinations and designs. It is very durable, for a damp cloth is all that is needed to keep it clean The same material is also used for the jaunty, cushion shown at the left.

1.-Louis Stevenson said: "The secret of q mans joy is hard to hit" We can say the same of a mans convictions. He hardly knows how he arrives at them. However, an intelligent man who sincerely wishes to be honest ex- amines his convictions very criti- caily and tries his utmost to elinai- nate sham, personal feelings and indeed everything but the objective evidence. Honest trying Is the main thing.

This does not imply that from cold. The sleeping equipment should be comfortable, of course, and if necessary one or another means of artificial warmth should be used say a big hot water jug or hot iron, or what have you tc keep the feet warm in bed.

 'Who was it?" "A woman" "Who was the woman?" 1T think he said, ''it was his wife" What was her first name?" Her first name was Blanche" She gave a sigh, dropped forward in the chair and put her hands to her face. The lawyer continued his aggres- sive cross examination.
 Where did this woman live?" he asked.
 "I don't know" she said. None of that" he told her, Cor it's going to be just too bad" She dropped her hands from her face, jumped to her feet, screamed at him, II don't know! I don't know! I don't know! I tell you don't know! Don't you stand there and tell me I lie!'
 Fisher stepped forward, put a heavy hand on her shoulder, push ed her back into the chair.
 "Sit down." he said, and tell me where this woman lives"
 The girl pressed her lips together in stony silence.
 "Go on" the lawyer said. "I'm waiting"

 You're either going to tell us where that woman lived,' said Fisher, GOT you're going to go to jail"

 "Go on," Fisher said, staring steadily at Stella Mockley. You've got your chance-either take it or leave it."

 9.-Prof Knight Dunlap, psy- chologist, argues in his intriguing new book, Habits" that the chief reason is that employers recognize that women hope to marry and es- cape from the job, while they know that for men there Is no such escape. Even if the woman does not succeed in escaping this is the assumption on which her wages are based. There is also the fur ther assumption that the man will have to support those women who do marry. I agree with Prof Dun lap that the marriage factor even if at times very unjust is the main cause of the differences in the wages of the sexes rather than diff ferences in ability.

CONDITIONED AIR FOR WINTER COUGHERS

Individua;s with bronchial trouble of any kind of. recurring winter cough may secure for them selves the advantage of conditioned air, at least for one-third of the time. by a very simple means. Fit one window of your bedroom with full size screen of unbleached muslin. That will exclude wind, draft, snow, rain, dust, bugs. but admit light and fresh air. Such screens of unbleached muslin have been used for the ventilation of school rooms in winter time, in the north and east, and that simple. economical plan has given uniform satisfac ction. If it's good for the children, it'a good for the old folks. Try 1t out this winter and

Q. I love a girl Twenty Five.

A. You lack self confidence and crliance-do not allow a good op- portunity to pass. I think the girls of today are pretty well enlight- ened and easily convinced that a good home and married to a man of superior intelligence is more conducive to happiness, than un- reliable youth with all its uncer- tainty. Go ahead-in my estima- ton it is alright.
 Q. Puzzled.
 A. I don't know why you should be puzzled. What you want IS cer- tainly easy to get-these is nothing the matter with you but self con- sciousness, all this refinement and culture you think you lack-ls right at hand--in books, night schools, lectures, radios, goodness boy, at your age you have to be- come a college professor. THIS young lady will more than appre- ciate any effort you make to learn; Go where there are intellectual people, place yourself in that en- vironment as much as possible: You will soon become easy of manner and right at home" in all circles with every class. Don't waste time-particularly if you love the young lady.
 Q. Have I Chance?
 A. You can't go wrong sticking to your family, and don't worry, It will be greatly appreciated. not only by your owp-but by all your friends that realize. These are un- usual days of sacrifice, care and worry. We are all put on our metal'' to hold on, and there is no honest work, dishonorable. You are young and should make your evenings count. There is nothing you can't take up at home, and fit yourself for any position. Throw off all feeling of "blues"--thank God you have health. Show your self how proficient you can be- come-in most any line--and then fill position where you please. Remember only good will come out of this and after all turmoil is set tied you will be glad you did your duty to those that ned it. It Is q fine thing to see youth thoughtful and kind.
 If the writer of the following question will kindly comply with the rules and forward "cOin and self addressed stamped envelope" they may he sure of Q prompt re- ply (What will my vocation hc regarding music, teaching anu nursing).
