little taffeta dress of ultramarine
blue, with shimmering dasheS of
silver that seemed to give very

Her figure is Symmetrically per-
feet, and she wears sports clothes
excellently we'll. In fact, she pre-
ferS them, for she is devoted to
golf, and slips off for a few hours
on the links at any off-time oppor-
tunity, so she often dresses the
part in advance. Golfing is an
expert matter when. she plays it,
and she is known to be a dan
gerous opponent. In type she is a
true college girl.
We seldom see such coloring as
is found in the unusual shade of
her hair. 1t is not blond, but,
instead, is a rare, light shade Of
chestnut. And it has a lovely CLINT
running through it that might
best be described as reflected
moonbeams, for it is not so much
color as a magic touch Of eerie
light. She wears it youthfully and
without display, as she wears her
clothes, which are beautifully
chosen, but seldom of the extreme
dreSs-up type.
OF course it was not surprising
to see how pretty and delicate her
hands are, and they are beauCl-
fully kept. One thing she is ex-
IRENE about is her finger nails,
which she wears unusually long.
SUPPLE
Ruby has some wise hints about
the Importance of keeping supple,
which is after all the very essence
of grace. She believes that the
muscles deserve lot OF attention
all their own and she says they
will never be stiff if given the
daily routine exercises regularly.
1t is as easy as that, and you can
choose your own. She has little
use for massage when out-of door
exercises can be taken in its place.
You will find it hard to get mus
Gle bound when you do the work
yourself.
The AL Jolsons live here and
like it so we'll that they often have
thought of making it their perm

ate fine for their little boy, who
sharpens her gayety, and 1t seems
the favorite resting place for the
moment, but Al likes to keep his
New York home open. too. for the
convenience it gives them as they
dash about.
Theirs was a whirlWind court
ship, as you will remember, and
of the few famous ones which
has lasted, in spite of the fact
that each has continued to rank
high in professional stardom. At
first Ruby thought she must go
back to the stage, but that seemed
to be because she did not want 20
begin her screen career in her
husbands picture at least she
doubted the wisdom Of it. And
then she registered on her own

solved for them ever since.

GIVING THE BRIDE

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Il am about to be married. My
father is dead and / have an older
brother and also two uncleS-bOth
brothers of my father, and the
oldest members of my family. 1
am in doubt as to whom 1 should
have to give me away at my we'd
ding, whether it should be my
brother or my uncle. What would
you suggest? F."
Since you have an older
brother, I suggest that you do him
the honor of inviting him to pre-
sent you in marriage.
Or, if you prefer, you could have
your brother escort you down the
aisle, and then, at the proper time
in the ceremony, have your mother
step forward from her seat in the
first pew on the left, and present
you in marriage.

There aren't any rules about

a close relative, of either the bride

What can they be told? You
can't turn them aside with
platitude. Their interests must be
salvaged, even if love has gone.
Sometimes, fathers holiday,
from the domestic virtues, isn't
anything worse than the love
measles of the late 40's.
He has experienced that des-
perate feeling which comes to
the most solid citizen-the kind
husband, the devoted father-that
very likely he is missing something,
and if he doesn't hurry, TIME
that horrid apparition with the
Scythe-will catch up with him
and it will be too late for an
autumnal blooming.
NAGGING is WRONG
Then does the wise wife sit
tight. She doesn't nag, because
she knows nagging will only speed
the parting husband. She must
be patient and understanding, and
try to discover if father is suffer
ing from a bad case of fascina-
ton, or if, as it sometimes happens,
it's the real thing.
If that's it, she may have to
let him have the coveted divorce.
But she mustn't buy her ticket to
Reno till everything else fails.
And suppose there are young
children to be considered, Then
she must not buy her ticket to
Reno at all. Children should have
the protection of home, even if
it is at the expense of fathers
late blooming.
The agonizing thing about faith
er's fortyiSh Springtime is that SO
often the wife has helped build up
the fortune which has made her
husband a target in the eyes of
the Vamp.
WEALTH is CAUSE
If he we're poor, the case would
be different. But he has enough
to make his kidnapping worth while,
and the struggles, sacrifices, econ
omies of the wife have helped to
make his success.
Example: A letter containing
this problem came from a woman
just short time ago. Her hus
band is wealthy. Why?
When they were married, they
hadn't penny. They opened a
tiny delicatessen shop. and the
wife stood in that shop from 7::30
till midnight. 1t was kept open
every day in the year-Christmas,
New Year, Labor Day-every day
was labor day for her.
In addition to that, she cooked
at first, in a little room back OF
the shop. She kept the place
scrubbed and attractive, so that it
might attract a better class OF
trade. And she bore six children
remaining on her feet always till
the last moment.
CONSIDERS SUICIDE
Today her husband has a chain
of 10 shops. He has fine car
and a chauffeur-and he is de-
voted to a young woman who will
express his prosperity better than
the work-gnarled woman who
helped him make his fortune.
She wrote me a tragic letter,
and said she wanted to throw
herself in the river, but was afraid
suicide would be bad for her I'm,
married daughters prospects.
1 told her to forget about sui,
eide and go to the best divorce
lawyer in her city, one who would
get a humping lump sum for a
settlement. Don't you agree with
me? Write me what you think of
this woman'S case.

OOMETHING new for your
~ table? Here it is. The usual
order of flowers surrounded by
candlestickS is reversed, and you
have a candelabra surrounded by
little bowls of flowers. Four can
dies stand in the centerpiece,
which of course matches the
square bowls in design, and there
are four of the little bowls. All
of them are eXquisitely shaped, OF
a good quality crystal, and the
bowls are large enough to hold
goodly supply of flowers, though
the candlesticks are not high
enough to make a massive cen
terpiece. You can use two of
them if you wish, or you can ar
range them in many different
ways. If the table is long, bowls
down the two lengths from the
center makes an effective setting.
We forgot to get the price for
you, but they're not expensive,
and they are grand for your own
use or for a gift.

INDIANA TROOPS
SCHEDULED FOR
BIG WAR GAME
Second U. S. Army to Resist
"Attack" From First
Mechanical Division.

Fifty thousand soldiers from si:;
states, including Indiana, con-
stituting the second United States
Army, are to mobilize Aug. 1, for
two weeks. Known as the second
U. S. Army, the troops are to par
ticipate in one of the largest
manuevers ever staged by the War
Department.
Robert H. Tyndall, indianapolis,
Commanding General of the Thirty
Eighth Division, one of four Ma
tional Guard units scheduled to
participate, said that plans for the
large scale and important troop
movement had been in the hands
of the War Department for some
time.
Although details have not yet
been made public, the purpose of
next summers sham problem is to
make study of the speed of
notifications and the rapidity of
troop movement. This will not be
an exercise on paper, but an actual
movement of troops" he stated.
Mobilize in Fort Knox
The Fifth Corps Area is made up
of the Thirty Eighth G u d
Division, with troops from Indiana,
Kentucky and West Virginia;
Thirty Seventh Division, Ohio; and
one regular army division with
troops from Fort Benjamin Har-
rison, indianapolis; Fort Hayes, Co
lumbus, O., and Fort Thomas, Ken
lucky, all are to mobilize in Fort
Knox Kentucky.
Two National Guard divisions and
one regular division from Michigan
and Illinois make up the Sixth
Corps area. These troops are to
mobilize near Grayling, Mich.
"The problem will be of unusual
interest and Importance Gen.
Tyndall said, because our objective
will be to defend the Second Army
from an attack by the First Me-
chanized division, stationed at Fort
Knox. This is the only mechan-
lied troop division in the country. "
The One Hundred Thirteenth
Observation squadron, now stationed
at Mars Hill, is to be one of two
squardons that are to participate in
the exercises.
Maj. Gen. Frank Mccoy of the
Second Army is to be in direct COM
mand of the maneuvers.

EITHER roots or green plants
IL may be used for planting.
Only a single root with a piece of
the old stem attached should be
planted, and usually it is best to
place it horizontally.
Dig the holes deep enough so
that, in sandy soil, the root will
be covered six inches, and in loamy
soil, four inches. Cover only two
inches at first, filling in as the
plant grows.
When two or three pairs of leaves
have formed, pinch out the tip.
This causes the plant to branch.
After the plant has started to
grow, keep the soil we'll titled to
conserve moisture, as dahlias re-
quire plenty of water. 1t may even
be necessary to apply water in dry
periods.
Disturbing will increase the size
of the flowers. Usually, at the tip
of shoot, three buds will be
formed. AS soon as the center bud
is the size of a large pea, remove
the side buds. Also remove the
little shoots from two or three pairs
of leaves below the tip, where they
join the stem.
4 FTER frosts kill the tops, care
L n fully dig up the roots, dry
them off little, and store them for
the winter. A potato storage with
a dirt floor is ideal for this purpose,
as the temperature should be kept
around 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
