Avoid This
Situation
At Home e
Don't Let Child Play
One Parent Against
the Other.
BY ANGELO PATRI.

"CEr down. Nina. Now get down.
I don't want you crawling all
over me. Get down, I say. Are you
going to get down or am going to
set you down."
Nina walls, fists in eyes, those same
eyes cooked around the corner in the
hope that mother will hear and come.
Her hopes are fully Justified. Mother
comes running.

and as she is carried out in triumph,
she eyes father with knowing squint.
Mother is her friend. Father, the
routed enemy.
That is about as had a situation as
child can face at home When one
parent sets child against the other
there can be no peace in the house
hold, and no security for the child.
That child will learn to work one
parent against the other for his own
ends. The strength that a united
father and mother might put into the
training of the child is lost. There is
no sure family background against
which this child can lean. There is
no parental support for his wavering
growth. The loss is the child's loss
mainly. The parents can philosophize.
adjust themselves. quarrel and 60 their
way. but the child has nowhere to set
his foot.
A feeling of security in his home is
source of great strength to q child
He goes his happy way, knowing that
father and mother are ready TO help
him in time of trouble. He can depend
upon fathers support and on mothers
affection. He never has to worry
about what one Of them will say or do.
He knows what to expect from united
opinion and harmonious attitude.
There is no such thing as q 100
per cent perfection. 1t is hope that
oeckons humanity forward. Fathers
are often tired and often impatient.
Mothers carry heavy load of re-
sponsibility and hard work along with
their motherly anxieties, hopes and
despairs. 1t is not to be expected that
one or the other or both will not oc-
caslonaly boil over. What of It? It
is all In the job. Don't bring the
children into 1T. Don't try to make
up what you miss by taking it out on
the child. That is very unfair and
far from grown-up.
A child in the house ought to be a
bond OF union stronger than any other.
For his sake one swallows the hastv
word, keeps back the too ready tears.
For his sake one forbears, serves to
the utmost. For his sake silence is
better than the relief of hasty words.
For his sake the burden of life Is
carried steadily, If not cheerfully. 10
the end. BY and by the day comes
when this child knows the love and
the service that have gone into his
making, and he returns it . hundred
fold in affection.
And, the day comes when the parents
who have grown together for the sake
OF this child understand the good he
has brought them the strength he has
bestowed upon them. All they gave
is returned with a great love added
to it, and they rejoice that they were
able to carry through to this day.
The price OF peace is sacrifice.

and get his own breakfast. A man
will admire the finery of a girl who
dresses beyond her means without
suspecting that her husband will be
sold into slavery to dress shops and
milliners.
A man will be engaged to girl who
will make him jump through the hoop
and roll over and play dead at her
command, or to one who is so Jealous
she goes green-eyed II he even looks
at another woman, without having it
borne in on him that the husbands of
these ladies will be bossed out of their
lives and afraid to speak to their
grandmothers.
Women seem as little able as men
to profit by what they know of their
mates beforehand. They are not
even warned by the knowledge that
they are investing their all in dam
aged goods, or in property on which
some other woman has a mortgage, as
is witnessed by the women who marry
drunkards, roues and neer-d -do-wells.
This may be explained by a sporting
spirit which induces them to take a
long shot at happiness. But how can
you explain women marrying men they
have known for years and years and
then complaining because their hus-
bands are as they are and not some
thing else? Innumerable women, for
instance, discover that they and their
husbands are not affinities. They do
not live on the same plane. They
are all soul and their husbands are
all business. They yearn for the finer
things of life and their husbands are
only interested in making money.
WHY, you wonder, didn't these
women be engaged to a man
without finding out something about
his taste? Didn't they ever talk about
what they liked? Didn't they ever
discuss books or plays? When he

thing to her? And, if not, why?
I know a woman whose husbands
table manners have got on her nerves
until she is on the verge of divorce
She can't stand hearing him gargle
his soup and lose his way among the
silver or pitchfork his food into his
mouth any longer. She must have
eaten with him before marriage. He
must have taken her out to dinner
some time. Perhaps often. How curious
that she didn't notice his table man
ners then!
You can't explain this any more
than you can explain why a girl will
marry man whom she knows to be
surly and ill-tempered; or one who is
selfish and overbearing and tyran-
nical; or one who has never even sup
ported himself, and then be surprised
that she has crouch or a slave driver
for husband or one she has to work
to support.
Oh, men and women, give the party
OF the other part plenty Of tips as
to the kind of husbands and wives
they will make. Only nobody takes
them. DOROTHY DIX.

HALL footwear is keeping right
* in step with the general trend
/ toward elegance and orna-
= mentation that is evident in
all of the seasons fashions Shoes
are intricately cut. They are pep
pered with pin-hole perforations;
they use combinations of feathers and
several colors in the same shoe, and
run from the extreme of cutout pumps
to smooth-fltting, high -throated OK
fords. In fact. shoes present a very
interesting story with plenty of va
riety.
If you think that the open-toe
sandal of the Summer will be passe
in the Fall, you are mistaken, for
we have it on good authority that
women are so fond of this type of
shoe, with its ability to flatter by
allowing them to wear at least half
size smaller, Just because of that open
toe, that it will continue with us until
extreme cold weather.
However, the openings will be much

sandal types. that were so popular
during the Summer, the same shoe is
being shown in Fall feathers and dark
colors with closed toe, to offset a
feeling of too many open spaces.
Black suede is the outstanding shoe
fabric to wear with that black en-
semble that every one is supposed to
have. The finest of pinhole perfora-
tions are used in many of these shoes
for surface interest instead of the
rows and rows of stitching to which
We have become accustomed. The
suede shoe with soft toe is a fine
Fall idea for toes that have been
able to wiggle freely all Summer
This new type Of shoe is made with
out the stiffening in the tip, affords
marvellous comfort, yet is so con-
structed that it holds its shape.
A MOTHER step forward in shoe

- about marriage is that we
look upon it as gamble whose
results no one can foretell.
We justify our divorces on the ground
that the men and women we chose
for life partners turned out to be not
at all the kind of husbands and wives
that We wanted. Why, really we
hadn't the slightest idea they were
like thatl
This is a great and unassailable
alibi, though it is not fattering to our
intelligence. Moreover, it leaves un-
solved the great mystery of how any
two people can get familiar enough
TO feel that they are necessary to each
others happiness. and that they can
not live apart without finding out
something about each others men,
tality and manners, habits and char
acters.
Yet 1t is done continually. The
standing excuse offered by thousands
Of philanderers is that they are mar
ried to dull, stupid women who bore
them to tears and that they have
wandered away from home in search
of the companionship and under
standing that their wives cannot give
them.
Natural enough. But why did these
clever, highly educated men pick out
these Dumb Doras for wives? How
could they escape in the days of court
ship from discovering that these little
nitwits were short of gray matter?
For lack of brains is something that
cannot be covered up or hidden. 1t
sticks out like a sore thumb.
How was it possible for men, to
whom books were as necessary as food
and who were keenly interested in
everything that goes on in this old
world, to spend hours and hours in
the society of girls who never even
read the daily paper or who cared
Tor nothing that went on outside of
their own circles without perceiving
just how ignorant they we're?
X
WOMEN lack the desire as well as
the art to conceal their faults
because their vanity makes them think
they are just about perfect as they are.
And such as they are after marriage
they were before marriage. They do
not change.
Yet a man will go for years with
a thin, nervous. temperamental girl
who has to be handled with gloves and

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Many persons who make gar
dens are just becoming familiar
with the camassias, which are
pretty dubious plants from the
West. They are not difficult to
grow wherever water can be
given to them. They have a great
liking for moisture all through
the growing seasons, but must
not be allowed to stand in water
at least in Summer. They bloom
In the Spring and should be
planted from 8 to inches deep
at this season. A little bone meal
may be worked into the soil. but
no manure should be used with
them. The kind being offered now
Is Leightlini, which often grows
to 4 height of feet, with clear
blue flowers.
