ProperWays
In Problems
Of Writing
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: As am
myself French and a teacher
of the French language, especially
appreciated your excellent suggestions
for the easy pronunciation OF French
words that are part of daily Eng
lish speech. I hope &ou will not
mind that I incorporate them in my
lessons? In my turn, may make
the suggestion of the word rouge to
express the soft 6 in garage-for
which you said you could not find
successful equivalent"
Answer-Thank you very much in
deed for suggesting rouge. 1t does
of course solve the question per-
fectly-and I was at loss to find it.
Thank you, too, for approving Of my
examples. Note: The pronunciations
were: Masseuse (not massooze, but
mass -hers) amateur (not amatchure),
say I-am-at-her house very quickly.
In both of these the h must not be
emphasized. 1t merely gives the
sound of the Ter" Chauffeur (not
showfer, but show fur, both syllables
having the same emphasis. but II you
must accent one, say show fur);
vaudeville Is not vawdevill, but voad
(rhyme with road) and veal (young
beef)-vaud-veal. And now: Garage
(gar as In garret, rage, q as In gar,
&c as in rouge).
Dear Mrs. Post: During the first
years Of my business experience ad-
dressed return envelopes to "Mr. John
Smith," and when I changed my
position, learned from my new, and
present, employer that this form was
very incorrect. Furthermore, he as
sured me that no gentleman would
allow it. I have always relied on
your Judgment and can't understand
why you told some one recently that
"Mr. John Smith" was correct"
Answer don't know how else you
would address a personal envelope
to q gentleman. John Smith g. Son,
or John Smith q Co., or John Smith,
when inclosing an ordinary business
mans bill. But when asking for q
personal reply from member Cor the
head) Of a firm the envelope should
certainly be addressed to Mr.. John
Smith. Neither lady nor gentleman

Daily Doses
OfLaughter
Are Needed
Tonic Effect Makes
Appeal for Health
and Happiness.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Bf ANGELO fAIh1.
r AUGHTER is a tonic and children
- should have daily doses of 1t.
Every day should have its share Of
laughter if the child is to be happy.
which is only saying that he needs
happiness if he is to be healthy. Some
people are afraid to have child
laugh. They shoe him into silence.
1t would be better to find occasions
for laughter.
It helps a class to have good
laugh. The teacher has to be wise in
this beyond most other things. The
laugh must be pure merriment. There
can be no taint of malice, no hint OF
ridicule, no edged thought behind 1t
TO wound and leave an ache behind
1t. Every member of the class must
enjoy the laugh or it is not the right
kind.
Giggling in class is not laughter.
1t is an indication OF severe strain.
a signal for change of mood, change
of work, a call for rest and recrea-
tiCn. The loud shout with its hint
of deriSion is an indication of strain
close to the breaking point. 1t is
heard only in class rooms where iron
discipline. rigid routine and rule are
the established order. In such a room
the slightest deviation from the set
it will take some minutes for the
drill-master teacher to restore the at
mosphere to its usual strained silence.
What such a class needs is merry
laugh, but it is out of the question in
such an atmosphere. The method of
discipline, the whole atmosphere of the
room must be changed before it would
be safe to laugh.
And yet laughter is healing to the
mind and body. I can forgive the
feeble joke that brings laughter to
child'S task I can understand the
deliberate play some teachers make to
catch that laugh for the good it does.
But I find it hard to understand or
to forgive the strain of class room
where laughter comes striding. screech-
ing at the top of its voice like siren
alarm, which indeed it is.
A childs need for laughter sends
him seeking funny things. The
handiest are the comic strips. Some
children read four sheets Of them a
day and would read more if they
could find them.
Comics that anuse children and
leave a feeling of hearty good will be-
hind them, sometimes a feeling OF
love and tenderness toward weaker
things and smaller children and help
less people are fine.
A collection of the best comic strips
make a good scrap book and give
children many laughing hour. An
hour with fine circus clown is great.
A funny story, well told, is warming
to the child spirit. The light and mel
lowed touch of wise teacher on a
class room incident is delightful and
lasts for whole session Let the
children laugh. Help them to laugh.
Teach them how and when and where
to laugh and you give them something
priceless.

- o MANY divorces are granted
because of incompatibility Of
temper that it raises the ques-
- ton as to whether 1t would
not take a lot of the hazards out
of matrimony if men and women
knew more of each others tastes and
habits and general characteristics be-
fore marriage.
This sounds like a good tip. Since
congeniality Is the one most I'M
portant thing in securing happiness
in marriage, it would seem that the
only safe bet would be to marry some
one whom you had known all your
life and with whose every quirk oi
temper and temperament you were
perfectly familiar. Thus Arabella OF
Jimmy, with whom you made pies
in kindergarten and fought with
through high school, and whose ways
YOU knew from A to lizard would
be first choice in a mate. Or you
would have been warned in time and
would never make the mistake OF
tying up with the said Aranella
or Jimmy.
Unfortunately, however. this plain
and simple road to domestic bliss
is filled with unexpected pitfalls. One
of these is the fact that we are not
likely to fall in love with those whose
faults and foibles we know only too
well. It is strangers who allure us to
whom we endow with every quality
that we would like our hero or hero
inc to possess.
MARY JANE who lives on our block
A'A stands nakedly forth with all
the angles of her disposition plainly
visible, but visiting Juliet's idiosyn-
crasies are swathed in the pink
chiffons Of fancy in which we have
draped her. We have nothing but
contempt for Joe whom we know
to be a lazy loafer, but there Is
something glamorous about the leisure
of Percival who also belongs to the
tribe of those who are born too tired
to labor. So we marry Juliet or
Percival and when we get our surprise
packages home and find out what we
have got-well, it Is just too bad.
In reality, to suggest that men and
women should pick out their wives
and husbands by the safe and sane
method of testing their quality and
finding out before marriage if they
are really what they need, is as fool
ish as to think that lads and lassies
will buy serviceable homespuns and
useful trucks when their souls cry
aloud for satins and spangles and
sport cars.
Then there is the impossibility Of
men and women ever really knowing
each other, no matter even II they
have been brought up in the same
house. No man ever looks into .
woman's mind and sees what makes
the wheels 60 round, nor does any
woman ever know what motivates .
man.
THE wisest man who ever lived does
not know why a woman cries when
she is glad or why she can find q
consolation that never fails In going
shopping, or why she values words
more than deeds, and viii believe that
q man loves her If he tells her so,
even though he beats and starves her,
but will doubt the affection Of the
husband who keeps silent about the
state Of his feelings, but who works
himself to death to prove his devotion.
Nor do women know anything more
about men. Wives grow gray-headed
trying to puzzle out why their hus-
bands prefer their shabby old clothes
to new ones, why they don't like to
talk at home, why their idea Of . good

The Old Gardener Saws F.:

Buddleias, sometimes called
Summer lilacs and occasionally
butterfly flowers, have been i'm
proved in recent years and are
among the most satisfactory
shrubs, starting to bloom IN late
July and continuing in flower for
many weeks. They need par
ticular care, however, because
they are tender at the top and
are usually killed back almost to
the ground in cold sections. The
best plan to follow is to hill them
up with earth for foot around
the base and then cut away in
the Spring whatever wood may
have been frozen. lie de France,
a new variety, is one of the love-
liest kinds and seems especially
hardy. New plants should not
be set out, however, until Spring.
