buys the bridal bouquet for his

Sometimes the groom asks for

A picture of the girl in the paper
showed she was really lovely. AT
II, with all the world before her
why did she do it?
II she had looked in her mirror
before she fired the shot, she must
have known that happiness never
completely deserts such beauty
unless youth and beauty are de-
termined to make q failure OF
things.
Comforting Reflection
When that happens, as 1t so
often does, it's because youth has
no yardstick to match the despair
Of the moment.
Unlike those who are old enough
to look backward and remember a
hundred battles lost and won,
youth lacks the comforting reflec-
ton that the energy to fight on Is
bracing. ,
That deSpairing short cut to end
It all, which youth so often takes
is because it doesn't realize that
today's tragedy may be the high
SPOT Of next years comedy.
DOrOthea Brande, in her book,
"Wake-up and Live" says that
"'this win to death, operative in
our lives, (creates) q down-drag"
ring, devitalizing, frustrating cur
rent. running counter to all the
forces Of health and growth in US.
Tr &ha cav ninetieS. when peo-
ple had grown pretty soft and
were writing exotic stuff-it was
the age Of the Yellow Book-w1tn
all the esthetic megrims it stood
for, william Ernest Henley, a life
long cripple, reused the world with
his "Invictus," the first four lines
Of which you will remember as:
"sOut OF the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to
to pole,
I thank whatever Gods may be,
For my uncOnQuerable soul"
WILL TO FIGHT
Henley, despite his terrific han.
dicap. had the will to fight and
keep on fighting, and people began
to discover they had unconquer'
able souls. There was something
better In life than oozing back
into misfortune.
Success, happiness, time, energy
all these youth squanders so
often in improbable day-dream-
ing. And when one Of these idle
reveries fails to mater1alize, the
morbid impulse to end it all seems
the easiest way out.
Safe to say, the pretty girl OF
II who committed suicide would
not have done that pitifully fool
fish thing had she been three or
five years older. instead, when
the young man refused to meet
11er at the party-she would have
called up someone else.

SECOND MARRIAGE
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:


81 am going to be married about
the middle Of next month. this
will be my second marriage. and
I am puzzled as to how to invite
the guests. I am not having q
large formal affair. I am having
about so people, half of whom are
the immediate famiIy-mine and
his.
do I have to send formal en-
graved invitations, invite each one
personally, or will q written note
suffice? If the latter is correct,
how should it be wOrded? My
father is dead and 1 am living
with my mother. Should these in
vitatiOnS come from my mother
or from myself?
"HOw far in advance should
these invitations be mailed?
"AlSO, when purchasing letter
paper which is monOgrammed,
which initial is used, the first
name or the last? T."
For your simple, small, informal
wedding-Which is the perfect
taste for your second marriage
notes of invitation written by your
mother are the correct form of
invitation. Your mother, with
whom you live, will be the hostess
OF the occasion, and so you pay
her the compliment of asking her
to do the inviting in her name
as hostess. The note may read:
Dear Dorothy:
Betty and Fred are to be mar.

Church, ON Wednesday, the first

formal wedding at which there
VIII be only the relatives and close
friends. 1t would make us all

Chapel at 4 o'clock, and then come
to our home to q little party ia
wish them happiness
DO tell us that you will both bC

"AffectiOnateIy,"
Plan to have the invitations
mailed about two weeks or 10 days
in advance. It is better to send
them early rather than late, SC
that your guests may reserve the

paper already stamped with one

Beatrice Fairfax Says Youth Easily Desps Due Lack
CHECKS AND PLAIDS MIX WELL


AN ADAPTATION Of the
Norfolk jacket is seen here,
with belt that may be worn
two ways. The colors are
cream with an overplaid in
brown, while the trousers
are brown, too.
Although this color har-
mony is perfect, each piece in
this ensemble may be worn
with other odd pieces. The
Norfolk jacket is rather
simple in the back, according
to the new trend, and it fits
perfectly into the we'll
dressed mans sports ward
robe. Accessories for this
costume have been chosen
carefully, too.
For further description,
see Miss Laville's column to-

Few things can add more to the
general atmosphere Of your home than
the use of mirrors. They seem to
work in everywhere and particularly
nowadays, with the modern style OF
decoration rapidly coming into favor,
mirrors are essential elements OF the
design of every home from apartment
to mansion.
Start right from the front door and
see how many places you could use
mirrors to improve the looks Of your
establishment. You don't have to
make your home a veritable system
of mirrors" but they will help to
brighten up numerous dreary spots
and enable you to keep yourself look
ing whole lot better personally.
A mirror in the front hall, just in
side the door, is a very handy spot
for that last-minute glance, which
may disclose some pretty horrible
defect in your clothing or facial get
up. The caller would like place to
see if any SCOT spots are glaring from
his face or a last-minute adjustment
of the toupee, possibly. The young
blade on his way out could stand q
final look before leaving the old home
stead on a round Of pleasure. In fact,
that front-hall mirror may be the

they happen to be rather small, boxlike
arrangements. A large. round mirror
over o table with a lamp on it will
diffuse a pleasing light all over the
room. And you don't have to use
plain, ordinary crystal mirrors, either.
They are available in all kinds of col
ors-gunmetal, blue. gold and light
shades Of red. OF course, only few
Of these colors could be used in the
ordinary room, but the effect of this
tinted glass can be made very pleas
ing, if you work 1t In with the proper
color scheme.
Passing quickly from the living room
to the dining room in this mad search
for places to use mirrors, you will find
that mirror over sideboard or buffet
is decided addition. If you happen
to have some handsome silver, or
other treasures on top of the piece Of
furniture its reflection will make q
very pretty picture, and there again
Is a good place to be able to see your

Full-length mirrors are luxuries that
too few houses seem to take ad-
vantage Of. It's simple matter to
replace a panel in door with five
foot length of mirror that you would
think more houses would be equipped.
The next time you are near tele-
phone look through the classified di-
rectory for mirror shops, and in a few
short minutes you can get complete

full-length mirrors in one or more

Bathrooms, of course, are all
equipped with mirrors, but what mir
rors they are sometimes. Some of
them give you Boris Karloff kind Of
an expression, and others make you
wonder why your wife ever married
you. This isn't at all necessary-even
in the most modest households-when
you stop to think that you can go
to an ordinary five-and-ten-cent store
and get a pretty fair reflector for less
than dollar.
If you are interested in buying for
yourself the last word in dressing
room mirrors built into cabinet you
should investigate the new unit which
has recently been brought out. 1t has
a chromium plated frame on the out
side, two blue glass mirrors on either

Credit Advanced Until
April, 1887.

New regulations in conformity with
amendments Of the moderni1atton
credit provisions Of the national hous-
ing act passed by Congress and signed

The new amendments extend the
power Of the Federal Housing Admin
istration to insure modernization
credit advanced by private financial
institutions until April /, 1887.
To facilitate immediate utilization
Of the new amendments to the act,
former regulations were re-enacted
with only such changes as were re-
puired by the amendments.
In addition to extending the period
Of operation Of the modernization
credit plan to April /, 1887, the
amendments passed by Congress in
elude the following:
In the future modernization loans
can be made only for financing altera-
tons, repairs and additions to i'm
proved real property "by the owners
thereof or lesSees of such real property
ynder a lease expiring not less than
xix months after the maturity Of the
Joan" Loans in excess of $4,000 for
The purchase and installation Of equip
ment and machinery for business prop
critics remain eligible under the amend
ed act with a maximum of S50,000 for
these loans, but loans of $4,000 or less
for the purchase and installation OF
equipment and machinery on any type
of property are specifically excluded.
Churches are eligible for loans up TO

The amount of insurance for private
financial institutions making modern
ization loans Is reduced from 20 per
cent Of the total amount Of loans ex-
tended to 10 per cent This is regarded
as more than enough to cover all rea-
sonable losses.

tracts of insurance with the Federal
