Evil Thoughts
Are Not Worth
Effort To Think

~ THE carpet in this picture is pile OF
~ sand in which the Hindu sorcerer sees the
past and predicts the future. What do you see
in the sands of time that lay before you on the
carpet of your life?
When the final score is written and the twi-
light of your earthly existence heralds the clos
ing of life, will you feel that the things you
have struggled for were worth the effort7 viii
the quarrels you have had seem worth the
heartache and tears they caused? YOU KNOW
THEY wONTi
Looking back at your life from where you
are, am sure you can see already the foolish
arguments you have had that were not worth
even the time they took!
Why then do we do these things? Why bother
to take offense at the sights which others offer.
or the criticism they give? Why take time to
gossip about your friends moras-or lack of
them?
WHEN THE END COMES YOU WILL WISH
THAT YOU HAD NOT WASTED TIME WITH
ONE EVIL THOUGHT OR QUARREL!

RE long or short engaRements


n most conducive to matrimonial
~ felicity? This u a question
"A that Is Of profound impor-
tAnce to millions Of billing and cooling
love birds. but heretofore there has
been no scientific data to show whether
1t was better to 60 through the linked
sweetness Of . long, drawn-out en-
gagement that went on and on and
on. or to make 1t snappy and get over
with the wedding.
Usually the matter has been settled
by circumstances, and determined by
the size OF the pocketbook Of the high
contracting parties or by how many
cocktails they have drunk. We have
all knownspatient and faithful sweet
hearts who have waited 10 years for
their wedding day. and We have known
swift workers who have married utter
strangers after 10-minute acquaint-
ance IN night club and another round
OF drinks. And so the question OF
how long an engagement should be is
left up in the air.
Now, however, the matter has been
definitely settled by DR.. c. w. Hall,
who conducts the popular marriage
course at the University Of Texas. He
made an exhaustive study Of 300 happy
marriages and 900 marriages that
ended in divorce, and announces that
as the result OF his investigation into
the subject the ideal engagement
lasts II months and II days, while
the betrothal period Of unsuccessful
marriages lasts two months and six
days.
IN OTHER words the safe course in
courtship, a. in all other things in
life. Is to take the middle road and be
neither too precipitate nor too slow,
and to put time limit on an engage
ment that would enable q man and
woman to get well acquainted with
each other, but not to know each
other too well.
OF course, there Is nothing to be
said In favor OF the short engagement.
Even their guardian angels turn aside
and weep when . man and woman
get married without taking time even
to find out each others middle names,
or how they Like their eggs fried for
breakfast. It is taking foolhardy
chance at something that is full
enough Of risks at best. It Is trusting
to luck . venture that calls for all of
the foresight and prudence and knowl-
edge and Judgment that you can put

spend 40 or so years with an indi-
vidual with whom you have not 4
single taste or thought or sentiment
or habit in common.
But II the too-brief engagement Is
loaded with INT that generally blows
a marriage to kingdom come. the too
long engagement is equally disastrous,
because 1t only too often destroys
everything in marriage that made it
desirable by wearing away its illu-
sions.
NOBODY can keep up to a high
emotional pitch year after year.
Romance wears to tatters in time.
Desire cools down. Lovers can be-
come bored with each other. Hope
deferred can kill love. We can do
without the thing We once longed for
until We no longer want it. And 50
when the Jacobs and the Rachels, who
have waited for each other for seven
years, do finally get to the altar they
are generally disillusioned and un-
sentimental couple who are marrying
more because 1t is expected OF them
than because they want each other.
Without doubt DR.. Halls findings
are correct and the engagement which
Is neither too long nor too short is
Just the right length. That gives
lovers time to test their own hearts
and see If what they feel for each
other is = passing fancy or , deathless
passion. 1t gives them the oppor-
tunity Of ascertaining whether they
are going to be dumb in each others
presence or be able to gossip happily
together through a lifetime. Wedding
cake should be eaten neither too hot
nor when it has been too long on the
shelf. DOROTHY DIX.

coats were Of the three e-quarter- length,
topcoat variety. and displayed q
choice of furs. A shaded light and
dark gray caracul was a striking nov
city worn with green dress and hat:
brown beaver was ensembled with q
rust-colored outfit. An unusual model
was OF black caracul with collar and
tuxedo revers Of brown fur.
A particularly pleasing ensemble
was OF gray woolen, with gray squirrel
used for the front Of the jacket. This
was accented with hat and bag Of
rich wine red. The red-And- gray
color scheme was carried out In q
number Of outfits shown.
VIVID As girl on = magazine cover
was the model in 4 brick-red en-
semble, with sleeves Of beaver, and
beaver trim around the small collar,
continuing down each side Of the
front Of the top coat. A short Jacket
suit was revealed when the model
opened the outer coat. A small red
pillbox hat, with saucy veil, completed
this very intriguing costume.
Charming for the cocktail hour was
= black sequin blouse worn over
black velvet skirt. In this group was
also shown q black velvet suit, With
large collar OF skunk. In this collec-
ton black was stressed for afternoon
wear, and was relieved by the glitter
Of gold clips and buttons, or 4 three
strand necklace Of pearls.
For dinner there was a lovely black
frock, with corselet bodice, dotted
In silver sequins, and for more formal
wear q dashing red satin gown with
bolero, modelled by = brunette with q
white rose tucked In her hair. Rose
colored brocade. with deep v neck,
pufIed sleeves and hemline cut shorter
in the front, presented one Of the
most popular silhouettes OF the COM
ing season. Changeable taffeta was
shown in two interesting gowns Of
sunset colors-ones with pinkish tones
predominating, and the other inclin,ng
toward the blues and violets. Both
Of these suggested bridesmaids frocks
for Autumn weddings.
From the remarks being made all
about, we gathered that the showing
was very thoroughly enjoyed by the
audience, and surely the men were
generous with their applause when
ever there was 4 chance for hand
clApping.
A MOTHER interesting fashion show
of the week, given in a local shop,
was for the express benefit Of all
those young persons who are prepar-
ing to 60 to college or private schools
this Fall. The clothes shown were all
from the fertile brain OF one Of our
youngest designers, Martha Gale, who
was present, and gave = descriptive
talk on the clothes Is each one was
modelled.
Miss Gale is petite, blond and the
very personification OF her delightful
youthful fashions for young moderns.
She knows just what they like and
gives it to them, with the sleekest Of
waistlines and hips, plenty of pep in
very wide bright colored suede belts,
high necks, small collars and straight,
soldier-like shoulders. She, herself,
wore an adorable black velvet afternoon
frock with pun sleeves, full skirt and
white lace collar. topped by very
fetching wide hrimmed hat of alter
nate rows Of black felt and net.
