scarcely able to walk, to syelte beauties, bronzed like an Ethiopian all share one common bond, a de' return to nature. All worries al responsibilities are forgotten for the and they are all laughing. That is the secret of charm, and the life insurance of lasting health and beauty, the ability to get out from under the annoyance of everyday life, and the courage to laugh fl off. Learn to laugh easily, we usually oyer-estimate our troubles oh, I know, when there's an ache in your heart, it's not easy tc smile; broken romance, an un- requited love. Judging from my correspondence this week there's more than one romance that is be- ing threatened by Old Man De- pression, or his understudy.
 MY DEAR MISS VAIL: I am
 writing to you because you may
 be able to help me. My boy
 friend and I are engaged, and in
 fact have been planning to get
 married for two years. He gets
 IS dollars a week and I have q
 job that pays me $1O.0O. We
 figure that we could live on that, , but we are both determined that
 when we get married, shall
 not work. We both feel thnt my
 place is fin our future home.
 Please tell us what to do. We
 are not happy going on this way. Signed
 DEPREsSION-RIDDEN.
 My dear young lady. You say very wisely, that your place is in your Future Home. But you dc not speak wisely when you say that you and your fiance "are de- termined that when we get mar ried, shall not work" In this modern day and age there is nc reason why the wife should not keep her. position, and pool hei earnings with that of her husband Your future home is something te save and toll for, but this should not interfere with your sharing { present little corner, which yo; might cali home temporarily, Il you are truly and ideally in love His fifteen dollars are not nearly enough to run a household on; but twenty-five dollars between you with careful planning and clever management, may prove ample, tf meet the expenses of a little love nest, built for two. You are not depression ridden when you are ir love, and there's twenty-five dol lars between you. Just remem- Der, any little place he hangs his hat is home to you when you share the same thoughts, and hold to the same ideals. I'm the last one in the world to encourage marriage on nothing; but I wei come the privilege that women en- joy to-day, their place in the busi- ness world, and I feel you are contradictory when you admit that you are not happy in your pro- tracted engagement, and still de- eide not to keep your name on payroll after marriage. Time enough to decide against working when the babies arrive. Then. you have no alternative. But take mA advice, marriage is never sweetef than when you feel the indepen dence of your own salary. So, II closing I would say that it lies en' tirely with you. Your problem il only as great as your love Is strong and brave. Fifteen dollars is no enough, but twenty-five between you is plenty.
 MY DEAR MISS VAILL:
 What would your advise In my
 case? I am going with a young
 man, who Is an electrician by
 trade, but at present he is out of
 work. We have been engaged for some months, and we fn- tended to marry in October, but the way things look, he won't have steady work, though he
 gets a few days on and on. l don't like to wait, but he is afraid that we can't afford 1t this year. Should we take n chance, in October, or postpone
 our wedding date?
 HEARTBRoKEN.
