it happens and that some are born
beautiful and others are born ugly.
Some are given health and strength
and others are weak and sickly. Some
have brilliant minds and others are
billiards. Some are born TO riches
and others to poverty.
THE accident Of birth is something
beyond our power to control. We
can only accept it and try to make
the best of 1t. This you will not do
by trying to initiate the girl who has
all the qualities that you lack. You
cannot take IL years from your age,
you cannot make yourself tall and
slim and glamorous, nor can you
create for yourself that mysterious
attraction she has for men.
But you can make yourself q happy
and useful life by doing some worth.
while work that will give you some
thing interesting to think about and
make you financially independent.
And by being yourself you may attract
some man who doesn't care for the
spectacular charms Of the butterfly
woman, but who prefers one who has
the good, old-fashioned domestic ur-
tues. 1t is matter Of record that the
girls who have the most beaux do not
make the best marriages. One steady
fellow who means business is more TO
be desired than a horde Of chaps who
dance around popular girl, but who
have no serious intentions.

"See that little chair? Ny grand
father made that chair for me when I
was little shaver years old. That's
my chair. You have no idea what
that little chair has meant to me. An
antique dealer wants it, expensively,
but it must stay where it IS, there by
the fire. because it Is the one thing
above all others in the place that
means home for me.
when I was little and played hard
all day used to come in dragging my
feet, staggering along. I'd make for
that chair and the minute sat in it
felt rested all over. I was content.
When I was bigger, too big to get into
it any more, I used to think about it
when was tired, or when was lonely,
or sick, and at once I was comforted.
"You can see 1t isn't costly chair.
Maybe some folks wouldn't even think
1t was handsome. But money couldn't t
buy it, and to me it is the handsomest
chair ever built.
"If you asked me why, I couldn't tell
you. How can you tell anybody about
the dreams, the aches and pains of
childhood, the hopes and fears and the
joyful tremblings that filled your heart
when you were little chap and took
refuge in your own chair? My life is
tangled about that little chair and
now that my grandchildren use 1t the
old chair Is richer in meanings than
ever.
I've given each .of the children
some such thing. I couldn't make
them myself, for I'm no carpenter.
Never was any good with fine tools.
But I knew where I could get them,

to know what chair or q chest was,
I gave them piece Of furniture for
their very own.
There's something about having
things your own size that makes you
feel content when you're little. The
grown-up chairs and chests and tables
are over your head and you can't see
them right, or feel them. But when
they are scaled down to your size, and
you can look at them on your own
eye level, they snuggle into your heart
somehow and spell home.
'I don't hold with giving children
a lot Of foolish odds and ends. When
I want to give them something look
around to see IT, they need q chair, a
table, a bed of their own. If they do,
that's what they get. I want them to
feel homelike and cozy with their
things around them. That's what
made me feel good and I know 1t
makes them cheer right up. It's q
great feeling, to sit in your own chair" !"

Necessities
For Double
Ceremonies
Position of Singer in
Unusual Role When
Wedding Is Held.
BY EMILY POST.

"DEAR MRS. POST: My brother
and I are planning to have q
double wedding, but we've run into
several distressing problems. Our
father Is dead and the father Of the
other bride refuses to walk up the
aisle, and as a result We would all
like to arrange the wedding process
sion in this order: Two ushers, the
two maids of honor, and then the
two brides together. But would this
be all right?"
Answer: Although not the order
conventionally preferred, several double
weddings have followed the procedure
YOU describe exactly. But there is
one rule that Is important to observe.
Not only must the maids OF honor
match each other, but the two brides
must be dressed alike in every detail.
The effect will be very ragged and
haphazard, otherwise.
Dear Mrs. Post-My sister Is to
be nv only attendant at church
wedding, and because OF this, sup
pose, she cannot sing before the pro-
cession starts. She has such lovely
voice and it seems a pity to deprive
the ceremony of this addition, but
perhaps you would suggest that she
sing at the reception instead. At any
rate, could you suggest something?"
Answer: I have never heard Of a
maid OF honor singing at wedding,
and don't like to suggest innova-
tions on deeply ceremonious occa-
sions. But II the choir Is seated In
the gallery, she could, perhaps, sing
while the congregation Is assembling,
and then 60 down to the vestibule
and join your procession as soon as
you arrive. But If the choir stalls
are at either side of the chancel, 1t
is rather questionable whether 1t
would seem proper to have her stand
as near as possible to the choir and
sing in the pause between the be-
trothal and the plighting of the troth.
as the soloist at choral wedding
service always does. One thing, how
ever, is certain-it would be very un-
suitable to have vocal music (or any
other music intended to be listened to-
at the reception.
