them. Round about, the corn
stood up glosSily green, arrogant
in its beauty and richness. The
cattle rested in meadows still
lush with succulent grass.
But each morning after, The sun
came up hot, red, blazing maig-
nantly in a brassy sky. The
winds sped on fiery feet across
the plains. scorching all they
touched. When darkness fell, the
earth steamed, and the stars
glimmered wickedly like bonfreS.
The thermometer rose. No clouds
appeared, and day after day after
day the heat increased. Dust ed
dies whirled impishly across the
pastures where the grass grew
brown, and the corn shriveled.
Each proud head bowed itself and
died, and with it died the hopes
of those who had planted and
plowed it.
Everywhere throughout the mid
die and southwest green has be-
come brown. Wheat is dead eX-
Cept in spots, corn is dead, vege-
tables are dead, flowers are dead,
grass is dead, even cotton is dy-
ing. Only the indomitable cour-
age of man still lives, the courage
of the farmer who will plant his
crops next year and hope for
better luck.
And somehow, unexplainable as
it may be, he keeps his faith IN
the fundamental goodness and
worth of life. Having expert
enced bitterest disappointment, he
is better prepared TO understand
vital JOY. He knows the true
beauty of the storm cloud, the
wild pounding glory of the rain,
the wonder of cool breezes after
intense heat and the real miracle
of spring.
1t doesn't Sake much spunk to
deny God in the hedged-in Sc
curity of a machine-made city.
But it does take spunk to stand
up for your God when the
drought comes down like the
drought of 1884.

OF ELfQ I1Dtn-
The point at issue is that our ali
monv laws have been drafted, in
genera on the principle that one
man would marry one wife IN the
normal course Of ms existence and
contribute 90 her support forever.
But that Is not always the case
TODAY. when a marriage may split
up while the man and wife still are
in their Dos and arc quite apt to
fan in love again. And If the sec
ond experiment is no more success

argued that q man has no moral
right t0 undertake the obligations Of
supporting q second family while ne
still i7 required by law - contribute
lar-c slice Of his income TO
family that has gone by the boards
But is It always fair to demand
that a man be restrained from en-
tering into a marriage that promises
every hope Of happiness because he
made a serious mistake once-fairer,
saw. than 1t is insist that IMPROVE
dent youngsters must delay their
first marriage until they are eco

There is a new trend in nail
polish, for movie stars have
found that in order to show
up on the screen the polish
must be opaque and dark. The
rest of us have been equally
insistent on deep, rich shades,
and in answer to demand a new
polish, Of a deeper, richer led
than ever before seen, is max
ing its bow to the public.
Against the rule that one
must wear a shell pink shade
for morning or business, deep
coral for the cocktail hour and
the exotic. deep shades only
for evening, at last we have
revolted. Now. with the one
new, deep shade, we can be
fashion-right all day long, II
we wear lipstick equally deep
and rich looking. To be sophis-
ticated and follow the silver
screen, 60 the whole way and
use lip rouge that harmonizes
perfectly with your fingertips.
The new polish is a raviSn-
ingly rich red with a brownish
cast, suggesting fine old port,
or mahogany well rubbed. 1t
makes pale skins look whittier,
accents the golden tones in
brunette skins. and can be
worn to advantage with the
newest fashionable colors-
lovely with navy blue, black,
white, green or gray. But be
careful of it with orange reds
and some yellows. With red
hair it is sometimes becoming,
sometimes not.
In applying this nail polish do
one of two things. If you use
soap and water, rinse the hands
well, for even the lightest film
of soap dulls the sheen Of any
polish. If you give yourself a
"dry" manicure, use liquid pol
ish remover just before apply
ing the new coat Of polish.
OF this opaque polish one coat
is sufficient. When applying,
wipe the brush lightly against
the edge of the bottle, then use
slow, even strokes from nail
base to tip. If you prefer,
leave no moon or white edge,
although this exotic fad is not
quite as popular now as it was.
Keep at hand a little pad Of
cotton wet with polish remover,
and if you get a smear of pol
ish outside the nail, wipe it
away Immediately.
Feet now require the same
careful attention for toetips!
Indeed, toes in open sandals
complete the harmony Of lip
rouge and nail polish when
decorated with the same shade.
The mahogany hue mentioned
is attractive for toes and looks
equally well with the beach en-
Semble or on the dance floor.

Devoted for Three Years
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Three years ago, my mother
had a surprise party for me on
my birthday, when met a GER
tain boy for the first time, and
fell for him the moment I was
introduced.
I've never cared a snap about
another boy since I have met
him. How could I find out if
this affection is returned, or
would it be well to show more
plainly how much I like him?
M. w.
An old proverb, believe it's
Spanish, says that 'love and a
cough are hard to conceal" If
this young man cares for you, in
the way you care for him, it
should not be difficult to recog-
nize the symptoms.
Does he look at you with ad-
miration? Does he go out of his
way to talk to you? Does he
take you places, and does he
ask you to dance with him, If
You happen to be at a party to-
gether? Does he talk about the
future-that'S almost an unfail-
ing sign. No, please don't tell
him you're in love with him
that's usually fatal.
Beatrice Fairfax, noted au-
thOrity on problems Of love and
marriage, will answer your
letters personally. IncIOSe self

That means that at this time
Of the year, you must look to
your sports clothes.
With the races at their height
around here, with the baseball
season coming along, with va
rious other horsey events and
outdoor meets, it's necessary to
have many and smart sports
clothes.
For Spectator Sports
Not only will you need active
sports clothes for golf or what
ever your sport, but if you get
about at all, you'll need some
good looking and suitable spec
tator sports clothes.
Street clothes, however smart
they are, always look just a little
over.dreSSed at the races. If
you wear them, you're apt to
feel that you can get by, but you
wish with all your heart that
you had on a good looking
sports costume.
TweedS Double Duty
At the present moment, the
knitS and the tWeeds divide
favor. And they are both prac-
tical to buy, for you can wear
them in town too.
A good looking tweed coat or
suit will look well at any sports
event, yet can do town duty too,
especially if you have two sets
of accessories. "a felt hat, low
heeled shoes and chamoiS gloves
for the races, and a straw hat,
suede gloves and shoes with Gu
ban heels for street.
KnitS Best of All
Knitted clothes can be had
IN so many weights and colors
that they are suitable for the
whole year round. Nothing IS
smarter right now. Whether
you knit them yourself, or buy
them m c h n Elk nit, they're
about the most fashionable sort
Of sports costume that you can
find.
A word to the wise should be
sufficient as to accessories. The
plainest felt hats go best with
sports things, and later on o
simple fabric or panama can
Seplace it. Low-heeled shoes
