match the cat, that is, yellow cat. tan

else is liable to lead to continuous ma
nipulation of the whisk broom. Even
when it looks as though the territory

at the very moment that one starts up

a multitude of cat hairs on the gray

There are three things that can be
done. Sit down on the curb and pick
them of. Turn back, get out the

and brush some more. No matter
what is done, the trip back into the
light is going to show few reminders.
The third suggestion is to go on and

Children are weak because they
have limited experiences: no knowledge
of the world and its ways; no clear
ideas about doing and not doing when
new situations arise. There must be
that core of positive principle in the
| family control to enable children to
know when to do and when to say
uOlnlnB QOlHg.
1t is never easy to be hard and fast
with children because there are so
many shifting interests and values in
their daily experiences. Often one
can say, Yes" but occasionally one
must say NO: and, unless the chill
dren have learned that there is a set
limit to their range of activity, that
certain rigidity of mental or spiritual
backbone to uphold family practice
and family opinion, they are likely
to 90 at loose end occasionally. This
is especially true when the family are
modern in their point of view and
want the children to grow up in free
dom. 1t is then that one must depend
upon sound principles of behavior and
hold to those few rigidly and de-
| terminedly.
What would they be? That de-
| pends to a certain extent upon the
| family, their place in the community,
| the sort of children under considera-
ton. But whether the child is the
child of the Mayor. the minister's son,
the great lady's daughter or the child
from across the tracks, some few
principles hold in common.
First, do nothing that Injuries the
rights and feelings of other people
Do what makes people feel themselves
considered, respected.
Tell the truth or keep still, and
remember that truth has an insistent
| voice that cannot always be silenced.
Behave always as the person you
would like people to believe you to be
would behave. That is, be your best
self, no matter who the audience is.
Decency and goodness are never
wasted.
Do nothing that you feel you must
keep secret from your father and
mother. You need have no fear of
their knowing your good deeds. Fear
and secrecy are the sure indications
of wrong doing against which your
conscience and your intelligence pro-
| test.
Attend to your business and do as
| good a job as you are able to do at
all times, in all places.

But I think your sense OF humor

you ask if you shall wait to marry

Every girls picture of the paragon
she expects to marry is a composite
of all of the romantic heroes she has
ever seen on the screen or read about
in novels. Her mind is so filled with
this picture of a youth who IS as
handsome as Greek god. who makes
love like Clark Gable and money like
Henry Ford that she only too often
cannot see the honest. everyday young
man who rates zero as godling, but

IT Is a good policy to take what you
can get, and like it. rather than
waste your life in longings after the
unattainable. Many man who never
saw the inside of q college has &C
quired the highest and broadest and
most profound of all educations in
the University of Hard Knocks. Many
a man who couldn't work problem
in geometry to save his life knows how
to add two and two together until they
make a million. Many man whose
grammar is rickety is all there when
it comes to love and tenderness and
kindness to his wife.
If no woman married until she
found her ideal, the wedding bells
would cease to ring. Fortunately most
women have enough sense to realize
that half a loaf is better than no
bread, and they take their opportu-
nifty instead of waiting for their dream
and get along very comfortably with it,

devoted the major part of their ef-
forts to heightening the naturally
dark luster of those members. The
brows and lashes they painted black
by the application of kohol, or kohl,
a powdery substance of the same
chemical family as antimony. 1t was
applied with an ivory or wooden stick.
The under eyes were carefully shad-
owed, green being favorite color for
this purpose.
Rouge, while coarse in comparison
with ours, was just as much used, and
the lips were tinted to match the
cheeks. Corn or pea flour and barley
meal served the Greeks as face pow

sisters.

no uncertain terms on the custom Of
I painting the eyes, when he says, And
furthermore. that We have sent for
me to come from afar . . for whom
thou didst wash thyself. paintedst
thine eyes and deckedst thyself with

Given as he was to lamentations,
it is natural enough that jeremiah
should deal with the question in
woeful vein, thus: Though thou rent
est thy face with painting, in vain
shalt thou make thyself fair. Thy
lovers will despise thee" A pessimistic
enough outlook-yet We have no as
surance that the lovers did disapprove
of done-up faces.
Jezebel, familiar figure that she is,
becomes even more vivid as pictured
in the Second Book of Kings: And
when Jehu was come to JeZreel, Jeze-
bel heard of it. and she painted her
face and tired (attired) her head and
