With
Fine Moral
For Young
Difference Between
BravadO and
Courage.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

nEAR CHILDREN: Fear is useful
~ when it prevents one from get
ting into trouble. Children should
be confirmed in useful fears, rather
than shamed out Of them. 1t is cow
ardly to fear to tell the truth, but
1t is wise to wait for the turn Of the
traffic light Such wise fear Is called
caution. It would benefit the children
to have some of that quality in their
characters.
It is wise to attend to scratch as
soon as possible. There is nothing
very brave about saying, Pooh! 1t
doesn't hurt" 1t may not hurt. but
it may be dirty and make trouble and
plenty Of hurt" later.
Matches are good things to let alone.
It is not brave to light them on a
dare. Any fool can strike match
and run away when the fire starts.
Jumping off high places and across
dangerous bitches, walking trestles and
tracks Just because somebody dared
you to is foolhardy. 1t is more cour-
ageous, and certainly more intelligent,
to scorn the dare.
Going into the water without know
ing how to swim Is foolish, nothing
brave about it. A baby can do it
and get drowned; maybe drown some
one else who had to go after him.
Snatching fruit of the stand, hook
ing potatoes out Of the bins, stealing
corn from the crib or the stand is
never bright and brave. Nobody with
grain of intelligence admires such
behavior. It shows that the one do
ing it has no will or wit Of his own,
and so is Just a catspaw for the smart
ones who know enough to keep out
OF trouble.
Breaking windows, showing helpless
old people of the sidewalks. calling
names at people as they pass are the
actions of showoff. The staggering
lads who stand in the background
while the foolish ones perform laugh
themselves sore at the victim when he
is chased and punished.
who's afraid? can hitch on a
truck, see If I can't" Pooh, I'm
uOt IdlQ VI tllht 0OS. SoA Pao
him on the head If I like" "You
dare me to walk in the puddles? I
don't care if do get wet feet. Who's
afraid?"
Cultivate a few cautions for your
self representation. 1t is so stupid to
court injury, illness, even death, just
on the word of simpleton. You
won't ind these dare-givers in the
high-intelligence group. They are
down at the foot Of the class, and their
only hope Of shining is by way OF
their dares. The only chance they
get to associate with the good pupils
is this silly, empty-headed one OF
daring them to do stupid things. If
they fall for their dares they laugh.
And rightly. Anybody who accepts
silly dare because he has been chal-
lenged to prove his courage deserves
to be hooted. They have been used
as catspaw by the cheapest minds
in the group.
Real courage scorns such bids, be-
cause 1t Is the high expression Of fine
intelligence. Watch outl Don't be
caught Very cordially yours,
ANGELO PATRl.

The Old Gardener Saws:

Peonies are such good-natured
plants that they require but little
attention. However, as the fiow-
ering season approaches they
should never suffer for lack OF
water. 1t is true that Nature
usually provided moisture In
abundance in May and early
June, but if she fails in this
respect, artificial watering will
be necessary in order to obtain
a profusing Of blooms. Incl
dentally, watering is needed al
most as badly Immediately after
the Towering season. because the
plants are very active at that
time and period of drought will
be followed by poorer flowers for
the following season. Fertilizer
is not nearly so important in the
average garden, although, Of
course, a little feeding must be
done from time to time. Many
amateurs have killed their plants
outright by the mistaken kind
ness of manuring them literally
at this season.

been to have a horror Of the stay-at-
home husbands. Hence their desire
for husband who will be a stepper-
out and always ready to say Let's CO."
OF course, older women, who have
had experience with the actualities
of matrimony, could tell these girls
that for man to love good times does
not automatically At him to be a good
husband. Quite the reverse, because.
after all, marriage is no picnic. 1t Is
a hard-working proposition In which
woman wants yokemate who will
pull his share Of the load, instead OF
playmate who will trip the light fan
tastic toe with her.
No matter how gay and pleasure
mad a girl Is before marriage, she au-
tomatically has to settle down after
marriage, when the babies begin COM
ing and she has no one to leave them
with at night. Besides, she has the
housework to do. Money is scarce,
and after the rent and the grocery
bill and the doctors bills are paid
there isn't much left with which to
buy pretty frocks and pay cover
charges and for champagne at ex-
pensive places of amusement.
THEN 1t is, II girl has married a
boy because he loved a good time
and to go places and do things, that
she is likely to find that he steps out
without her and leaves her at home
to give the baby its bottle and darn
his socks. For the man who loves a
good time always goes out to seek it,
and he doesn't always take his wife
along with him.
No. An older woman might tell
these girls that there are many more
desirable qualities a husband can have
than being a permanent date. In
fact. she might tell them that a hus-
band who Is never content to stay put
and who is always running around
seeking excitement and who has to be
kept entertained is a pest who gets on
his wifes nerves and makes her mighty
tired. He is as wearing as a baby be-
fore whom you have to perpetuaIly
shake rattle to keep it in a good
humor.
The old wife might tell the young
girls that it is better to have a hus-
band who stays in than one who likes
to step out; that steadfastness is bet
ter to tie TO than high spirits: that
1t is far, far better for a husband to
be good money maker than a good
dancer. That. as the old proverb puts
1t, the men who are the Joy Of the
street are the misery of the home.
However. one need not take too Sc
riously schoolgirls ideals Of the
kind of a man they would like to
marry. Some day a chap comes
whistling down the street and then all
their cherished theories 60 blooey and
they only know that he is it.

Dorothy Dix Says
1t Is True That Men Who Are the Joy of
the Street Are the Misery of the Home.

~ ECENTLY the girls in a IA
nous women's college were
asked to define their ideal
i y man and to tell just what
qualities they most desired in hus-
band. The reply made older people
feel like smiling out Of one side Of
their mouths and crying out Of the
other. Their desires were so young,
so craving for the Joy Of life, SO ig-
norant of life itself, so impossible Of
fulflllment.
The one thing that these girls
wanted in husband, more than any
thing else, was for him to be a
playboy. They wanted q husband
who would show them good time" )"
one who would get around" one who
would always be ready to go places
and do things" one who would have
lots of friends who would be fun" and
who would always be a popular
member of the crowd"
They were Indifferent as to looks,
provided the man was neat. They
cared nothing about whether he was
either blond or brunette. They didn't
even insist upon his being tall and
romantic looking. They set stress
neither upon his literary nor athletic
achievements. and they passed over
the money question as unimportant.
The one and only thing upon which
they agreed as a unit was that the
man they hoped to marry must love
a good time"
OF COURSE, the explanation Of this
remarkable choice of husbandly
qualifications Is the result Of these
girls being at the play time Of life
when their brains, if any. are in their
heels, and when all that seems i'm
portant in the world are dates and
chiffons and partners whose steps
match theirs in the dance. They
cannot even imagine ever getting tired
of amusing themselves, or being bored
at night clubs, sick Of restaurants
and desiring something more Of the
men to whom they are married than
be merely escorts.
Or perhaps these girls were con-
ditioned. as the psychiatrists say, in
their childhood by seeing the dull
and monotonous lives their mothers
led and how little effort their fathers
made to entertain and amuse them
They recall father slunping into an
easy chair, in his slippers and with
pipe and paper as soon as dinner was
over, and mothers Intellectual efforts
to get him out Of it and make him
take her to some place of amusement.
They remember that it took so much
diplomacy and so many tears and
entreaties to persuade father into his
dress clothes to take mother even to
dinner party that it must have
taken all of the pleasure out of the
occasion. Their natural reaction has

Club Guest
Introduction
And Letters
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR Mrs. Post: I was a guest
recently at a neighboring wo-
mans club meeting. The president
asked the woman who had brought
me to introduce her guests to the
others generally. My friend rose and
introduced me and simply leaned
forward in my chair and bowed and
smiled around the group. Later when
we spoke Of the presidents friendli-
ness in extending this courtesy to
members and their guests, wondered
If it might not have been more polite
of me to have stood up. It seemed
natural to do what did, but since
thinking about it I don't know.
Answer: This is hard to answer
because I can't know how it was
done. But it seems to me that If you
were not expected to address the
meeting, there was little reason to
stand up, only to sit down again!
Dear Mrs. Post: Is an anonymous
letter In bad taste even If its con-
tents are intended to be helpful and
If the writer's name would have no
bearing on the situation?
Answer: An anonymous letter is
supposed to be a cowardly and
dastardly thing, but fairer judgment
would be according to its contents.
Many of the most delightful letters
sent me by my readers have been
anonymous-if that is the name which
must be given to letters without
signature.
Dear Mrs. Post: Q) If a young man
IS asked by q friend, "Is your family
well?" does family mean his wife
and children or his parents and
brothers and sisters? CD And if an
unmarried man is asked by a stranger,
Have you family?" would he answer
yes or no. provided he has parents
and sisters and brothers?
Answer: % If married, it probably
means wife and children. But 1t
might equally mean parents and posi-
bly, sisters and brothers. (2) He
would probably say. I'm not mar
ried-if you mean that-but I have
q mother and father and sisters"
and perhaps he'd be inclined to add,
ANY more questions?"

MILFORD GRANGE NEWS

Milford Grange Is SO Years Old
The Milford Grange was organized
on April IA, 1864, and is still going
strong. The anniversary program
last Saturday evening was presented
in a pageant showing "The Grange
Is Marching On" Mrs. A. f. Num-
directed and each character filled its
place well.
The programs have been especial
~ interesting this year as each COM
mittee has cooperated with the lee
turer and done their best. We regret
that the notes did not get in last
week. Mrs. N. B. Downing directed
the beautiful Easter pageant Of ''The
Uplifted Cross" The story of las
terrible was brought out plainly by
the characters and their costumes
added much, making the picture
much more impressive.
Saturday, April 25 will be visitors
night and Fruitland and Harrington
Oranges will present the program.
1t is with deepest regret that we
report the charter is draped for Mrs.
Ida L. Jones, who was secretary OF
this Grange for ten years, and a

30 years.
