Flannel House Goats

TNHE town is full of swank flan-
L mel house coats, and you can
shop till you're worn out, but you
won't find any smarter and bet
ter value than these-if there
are any left when you get down
town. We must admit they're
going fast. They are full length,
cut on princess lines, have a sash
belt finished with silk tassels and
q little round cOlIar-IOng sleeves,
of course. The flannel is fine and
SOft-and the best feature of all
is a Upper that goes from chin
to the bottom of the robe. In the
deep blue, the Upper is red, fin
ished with red tassel. In the
lighter blue and wine red, the
Upper and taSsel match the color
of the robe. 1t comes in misses
sizes, and is S1O.95. If they're sold
out, they can order for after
Christmas delivery - that's the
best we can offer.

ce Fairfax Says Nagging Is Heavy Burden for Love
Etiquette
Close Friends
BereaVe
MRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Me-

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"When one has a death in the
family of a very dear person, does
one send Christmas cards or re.
ceive them? There is quite a diff
ference Of opinion.
my contention is that we hope
very sincerely for our loved ones
and friends to have a happy
Christmas in spite of our loss.
What do you think?
READER"
People in mourning must be
guided by their own choice as to
whether or not they will send
Christmas cards. Usually they
don't send cards. However, your
point of view is such beautiful
and understanding one, so exqui-
sitely self-leSs, that there is no
reason why you should not act on
this friendly judgment. The next
thing is, of course, to choose your
cards with most careful discrimi'
nation so that they will be in the
most appropriate taste. Then
inevitably spirit will speak to
spirit" and your relatives and
friends will understand and glory
in your great-heartedness and
high spiritual bravery.
I have one more suggestion:
Perhaps, instead of sending cards,
you would prefer to write a brief
and friendly note of Christmas
wishes to your relatives and
friends. One or two sentences OF
sincere wishes would be enough
and could say just what you want
to say to each one. Something
like this, perhaps: II want you
to know that I am thinking of
you these days and that I hope
your Christmas will be a joyous
one and that your New Year will
be full of happiness"
A note of this kind, too, Is an
excellent idea for relatives and
friends to write to people in
mourning. It's better taste, I
think, than sending perfunctory
Christmas card. People in mourn
ing who do not send Christmas
cards or Christmas notes, but who
receive cards and notes, have a
courteous opportunity of express
ing their appreciation, in writing a
brief and appreciative note of
thanks for this thoughtfulness.
Something like this perhaps:
"YOu were so kind to have me
in your thoughts during this sea-
son, and 1 appreciate, deeply,
your friendly message. The dear
friendship that we have is great
comfort and bulwark to me these
days, and l treasure it with all my
heart. May every day of your
New Year be happy One."

SEPARATE ANNOUNCEMENT
"Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

81 am an American and 1 have
been engaged to a girl since last
Spring. However, only one or two
people know this, and / am wOnd-
ering if it would be proper to
announce our engagement on
Christmas cards?
81 am something of a photo
grapher and can easily prepare
some beautiful cards bearing our
pictures, but 1 am at a loss as
to what the wording on the cards
should be, since 1 have never seen
anything like this before. Please
tell me what the wording should
be. MALE READER.
Announcing this engagement on
Christmas cards would be, in my
judgment, in extremely bad taste.
Please don't do this. Christmas
cards are one thing, and an en-
gagement announcement is an
other, and there is no appro-
priateness in the combination of
the two. This would be too much
in the stunt class, and this is
unsuitable for engagement an
nouncements.

WEATHER REPORTS
Conditions in Winter Belt
Expected to Be Major
Influence on Wheat,
BY JOHN P. BOUGHAN.

| hSSOCldteO HreSS Market Editor
| CHICAGO, April 11.-Regardless OF
current crop estimates, many market
experts express belief the factor domi-
/ mating wheat prices the next four or
five weeks will be something unpre-
dictable.
Weather over the domestic Winter
wheat belt. it is asserted, will be the
chief touchstone. Second in i'm
portance is placed the weather of the
Spring wheat region, and third the
policy of the Canadian Government
Wheat Board in disposing Of Canada's
surplus wheat stock. All three are at
present regarded in the wheat pit az
practically beyond human ken.
Compared With Week Ago.
With trade reckonings more or less
based on normal average weather from
now on, wheat values this morning
compared to a week ago were exactly
unchanged to l y cents higher, corn
3s off to @s up, oats, lsal4 advanced,
and provisions showing a rise of 7a12
cents.
Differences between April estimates
of domestic Winter wheat production
and the actual corresponding harvestS,
trade gossip emphasized today, have
varied as much in recent years as
10l 100000 bushels.
This is almost precisely the amount
which has been tentatively suggested
might be the size of a possible wheat
export surplus in the United States
this season.
1t is now being pointed out in some
quarters. that at one stage Of late.
numerous spectators became violently
bearish on the theory that the coun-
try was headed for an export wheat
price parity, but to a considerable de-
gree have since switched.
Subject to Hazards.
One of the foremost wheat special
lists in Chicago is at present quoted
as declaring it was jumping at pre-
mature conclusions to assume that a
United States exportable wheat sur
plus was already in the bag.
Traders are now beginning better
to realize he adds, that the crop is
far from made, and subject to many
hazards. A significant circumstance
noted is that Chicago July wheat has
been ruling more than 4 cents a
bushel over Winnipeg July, and ap-
parently this difference must be wiped
out some way before United States
exports are feasible on scale of any
magnitude.
Active shipping demand for corn is
giving firmness to that grain as well
as to oats.
Provisions show advances based a
good deal on fewer hog arrivals than
expected.

RY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

w YE ARE nearing the end of
M Summer. Any canary who
wv keeps up with his dates
knows that moulting sea-
son should be in full swing. His
feathers, like the leaves of trees, are
doomed to fall. Unlike the tree, how
ever, he Is supposed to grow q new
set Immediately. If a big tree rests
until Spring before putting on new
coat, one can imagine the strain 1t
must be on the tiny bird to do the
whole job at once. He picks the
right time Of the year. The humidity
Is high and the earth warm. Mother
Nature takes care of that. The rest
Of 1t is up to his owner.
Food tops the list in the matter of
Importance. Dicky is faced with the
double job of manufacturing q COM
plete suit of clothes and carrying
on his usual functions. His meals
must be exactly right, served on time,
and grouches catered to. A tonic may
be in order. Bird seed is his staff
of life. It's the same thing to him
as bread to the human race. Like
bread, bird seed Is much more bene-
fetal If it contains yeast. While 1t
may not clear up Dicky's complexion
1t will step up his appetite. encour-
age his digestion and tone. up his
whole system.
Especially important during the
moulting season u the fact that yeast
builds up Dicky's resistance to colds.

Marrying
To Reform
Inadvisable
Do Not Let Young
People Believe That
Love Is Cure-All.
Photo. Courtesy Henri Bendel.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

MY EXPERIENCE is that there is
AA no such thing as a reform mar
riage coming out successfully. One or
both of the parties is certain to be
unhappy.
Most people are being themselves
most of the time. They cannot help
that even If they would. Usually one
tries to be his best self some Of the
time, but that is strain, and it takes
long span of trying, of failing and
trying again, before one attains any,
thing like an approach to living on
that high standard.
It is unfair to impose the burden
Of ones self upon another who, in
the very nature of things. has all he
can do to support his own self in de-
cency. One does full duty when one
does the utmost to sustain ones own
good qualities. Anything else Is Ger
tain to fail.
This is why reform marriages fail.
One partner has q fault that the other
sets out to cure. The reformer hopes
to put his pattern of good in place of
his partners pattern. It won't work.
If man or woman drinks to excess,
marriage will not cure the fault. Mar
rage will not reform the drug ad-
dict, the gambler, the wastrel. The
notion that it will Is part of the rosy
mist that Nature casts over those she
wishes to involve in her pet scheme
Of love and marriage and reproduc-
ton. Don't be deceived by it. That
rosy mist will rise. and the bright
light Of actuality will disclose the bald
fact that for the habitual offender
marriage is no cure. It is scarcely
a brief interval Of forgetfulness. Once
the marriage is accomplished all rea-
son for the change in habit is re-
moved and it once more resumes con-
troll, this time to stay.
Young girls are the most likely VIC
Tins in such circumstances. They
are in love with love, and almost any
young man who feels the same way
at the time, becomes the idol of their
hearts. Whatever faults he may have
are likely to be lures rather than de-
terents because girls are self-sacrific-
ing, devoted martyrs to their ideals.
They are SO blinded by their emotions.
SO wholly taken with the thought of
their divine missions, that they be-
come victims of it.
Parents Of such girls have q diff
cult task. The girls cannot hear and
cannot see anything that lies beyond
that mist of love, surrounding them
and the loved ones. Common sense
has nothing to do with love, so rea-
soning Is almost useless. What Is to
be done to save such children from
their folly? Spar for time.
Time Is great enlightener. Much
can happen in one day in q girls life.
Many interests lie in wait for the op-
perfume minute. Try to take the girl
away, send her or take her for q
change Of scene which always means
q change Of interests. Use every
means possible. Don't make the mis-
take Of talking too much about the
matter, saying all that is to be said,
with as little heat as possible.

A ND what is the result? Children
who have been babied and spoiled
until at an age when they should be
doing a mans and woman's part in
the world they are as helpless as little
children. They have never made q
dollar. They know no way to make a
dollar. They would starve if mother
and father didn't feed them.
Certainly the parents who rear
parasitic children are more to blame
than the children are, but when they
have put these children through
college even the grating young people
might consider that father and mother
had done enough for them and that
it was time for them to get out and
hustle for themselves.

Although no one has ever seen q
canary with q red nose. the fact Is
that they do catch cold. and some
times die of the effect. Dicky Is not
fully clad during his moult. He
needs every available protection.
Do not move him from . warm
room to a cool one, or visa-versa.
Keep bright lights away, as new
feathers are extremely sensitive. A
cloth between his cage and sunlight
will help. See that he gets plenty Of
fresh air, but avoid GOODNESS.
Remember tina. he has quite q Job
on his claws. Humor him along. If
he won't eat his rape, try MASKING
it up In water. He needs the oil.
It's like spinach, only more so. He
might get stubborn like Sunny" q
canary citizen residing on M street.
Sunny" simply will not eat his rape
this season. He throws it out, de-
nouncing it in loud terms. There's
nothing wrong with 1t. He just isn't
interested. The result is he's slightly
bald in spots, but that doesn't worry
him in the least. His family has told
him the story Of Pop-eye and the
spinach. He listens with his head
on one side, then kicks some more
rape on the floor. "Skippy" Is the
other canary member of the house,
hold. He eats his rape and Is coming
through the season beautifully. About
the only thing left to do with Sunny"
Is put him In front of q mirror with
'Skippy" and point out the difference.
