Psychological Value
OF Lenten Abstinence

when the larder was low and the
cupboard was bare. When the
winter supplies had about run out,
and the old people, looking at their
scruffy hands, would humble that
they would be all right as soon as
they could get out and pick them
a mess of greens.
IF Lent does nothing else but re-
mind us of the advantage Of our
time over other days, it should be
welcomed. It is a reminder of a
social order that is passing. We
are still striving with the aid-the
very inadequate aid-of the social
science to control the conduct and
government of man. If success
ever comes of that endeayor, all
the resources of science-rnedical,
hygienic and physical-will be con-
eentrated and brought into play to
make mans lot more endurable.
Indeed, it is unthinkable to suppose
that any social order can be &C
complished except by the strict
utilization Of those resources.
The church succeeds better than
the state, even now, in controlling
mems conduct. 1t is worth while
to take advantage of Lent to apply
medical methods to the relief OF
some of our bodily and mental
states at q time when the church
makes our resolution stronger than
at ordinary times.

/. My parents intend to cele-
brate their golden wedding early
next month. They are planning
to hire a small hall and serve a
catered dinner to their old
friends and Immediately family.
AS this is to be an informal af-
fair, mother would like to send
hand-written invitations, but we
are not sure just how such invi-
tations should read. She would
like the invitation to cover a
request for information as to
whether the invited guests are
expecting to attend, so that the
proper number of dinners can
be arranged for.

ask the guests not to bring gifts,
as mother would like it that
way?

proper thing? H.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Not long ago read a letter in

signed himself Mr.. x" He said
girls didn't understand why he
doesn't want to kiss every Jane

My case is different from his.

I don't want to run around in

and love dancing, swimming and
all out-of-door sports, even base
ball. But boys don't understand.
They think it's neck or nothing.
I have a small flower garden
have just started, and everyone
makes fun of it and me. They
seem to think it's funny that I
like to walk through the woods
and gather flowers.
I never met anyone like "Mr.
x" He certainly sounds sane
to me. Y.
Please let me remind you that
the Mary of Mary, Mary, quite
contrary, how does your garden
grow?" was a very charming
young person. She was far too
fine to be appreciated by the
primitives who see nothing be-
yond necking. And while you
may never meet this particular
"Mr. x" any man of taste would
prefer to marry a girl who loved
the out-of-doorS and grew flow
ers, rather than one who had
no resources but necking.

LOVelOrn
Given
Advice
By Beatrice Fairfax

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ am also in need of ad-
vice. I've been going with young
lady for about a year, and /
love her. She confessed that
she loves me, too, but there is
another man who loves her also.
We've had many arguments on
account of him, but she says he
means nothing to her, although
she gave him a photograph Of
herself and she has one OF him.
Do you think l ought to keep
on going with her, or drop her?
I don't want to be the sap in
the case. ANXIOUS.
You do not say whether you
are engaged to this young lady
or not. If you're not, she has
the right to go out with other
men. And if I were you. I'd
try to curb my jealousy.
Since you have asked me the
true lovers point Of view, must
say that I think young man
who is very deeply in love with
one girl would probably not care
to accept invitations which did
not include her. However. as
YOU are not really engaged to
the young man, it is perfectly
proper for him to go with other
girls.
I should advise you to see as
much as possible of your other
friends, both boys and girls. In
vite little groups to your home,
including this young man, but
do not let him know that you
feel hurt because he sees other
girls occasionally.

like the idea Of using the gold
bordered cards on which to
write the invitations. Formal

often engraved in gold ink on

What the balmy breath of Springs
 first day does to slumbering Dhearts is the theme of the delightful comedy drama "Call. It 8 Day"
 which is to be enjoyed today, to- morrow and Saturday at Warmers State theater.
 As a stage play 1t ran for cou- pie of years in London, then for more than a year in New York. With the broader sweep of the camera it becomes much better as a picture than 1t was behind the
 footlights.
 Big, good looking Ian Hunter plays the part of well-to-do Britt
 isher. His wife is Frieda Inescort noted London and Broadway ac- tress. They have been married % years and are pretty much in rut.
 Then there's a daughter of 1a or thereabouts-who's the lovely Olivia de Hayilland-and another 1 of 15, who's Bonita Granville, the celebrated brat of "These Three Peter Willes, young British actor, is the son of the family It's 8 well- settled, unemotional household. But Spring works its magic. The husband falls in love-or thinks he does-with an actress client, Mar cia Ralston. The wife has a pro- posal from Roland Young, whom she meets through her best friend, Alice Brady.
 Olivia conceives an infatuation for a painter, Walter Woolf King, who's doing her portrait. Her brother, Willes, discovers charms in the girl next door, Anita Louise.
 All in one day they fall into love and out. Bedtime finds them all the same old family-a little more experienced, lot wiser. This with the aid of smart, sophisticated dialogue, and entrancing sets.
 The companion feature is T Promise to Pay" featuring Chester Morris, Leo Carrillo and Helen Mack. It is the first fearless ex- pose of the lnerciless "loan-shark" racketeers that squeeze millions of dollars from the innocent American public every year.

EAGLE IS FILMED
 CARRYING CHILD

Hollywood, April 22.-(UP)--Ar eagle carrying off child has beer filmed, as Hollywood motion picture producers claimed today. It was live child, too, they insisted. The thrill scene was needed for Cascade Pictures Maid of the Mountains. Although experts in- sisted 1t could be done only with dummy, Director Richard Lestrange cast his 18-months old daughter Jill, in the child role, and went to work on the eagle.
 For e fortnight the eagle was drilled with a dummy child. For the final scene the directors daugh- ter was substituted. Lestrange said the eagle clutched the girl in his talons and rose 12 feet with her. A special contrivance held the eagle from flying higher.
 Other precautions prevented p0s- sibillty of the child being injured. the father assured.
