with whom you expect to spend the
next 30 or 40 years, use both your heart
and your head. the while you keep your
fingers crossed for luck You will need
them all and a kiss from your guar
dian angel thrown in for good meas
ure, for marriage is gamble that
makes roulette and all other games
OF chance look like sure things.
OF course, every mans dream wife
is a woman who both comes up to his
ideal and fires his fancy, but, alas and
alack, these paragons are as scarce as
hens teeth. If you must choose be-
of all the virtues, but who makes
you tired. and one who has q thou
sand faults mixed up with thousand
thrills, take the thriller. Don't marry
any woman who doesn't raise your
temperature and set your pulses rae
ing. Men need to be crafty in love
when they marry. because the condi-
tions of life constantly decrease their
capital Of romance and sentiment, 50
if they make the grade they must
start out under full steam.
X
nONT let your mother, your sis
ters or your friends pick out your
wife for you. Marriage is the most
intensely personal thing on earth. and
husbands and wives purely a matter
Of taste. Mother Is perfectly sure
that you would be happy If you mar
ried the nice little girl across the
street who has a tidy fortune and
makes such good angels food and
is kind to her mother, and that you
would bring misery on yourself If
you married that little flibbertygibbet
who can't boil water without scorching
1t and who hasn't a penny to her
name.
But If you let mother dump her
choice on you, you will be philander-
ing within year. Marriage is for .
long time, and it seems longer if you
have to spend it with a wife who gets
on your nerves and bores you to tears.
Take as much time and give as much
intelligence to selecting your wife as
you would q new automobile. II you
were buying car you would consider
first what kind Of car you needed.
You wouldn't buy a sport roadster
If you needed q truck in your business.
You wouldn't buy Rolls Royce II
all you could afford was a flivver.
You would consider the upkeep. You
wouldn't buy car just because 1t had
pretty upholstery, tricky gadgets,
shiny new paint and streamlined
effects. You would look at the engine
and note how strongly the car was
built. and you would lay particular
stress on the reliability of the manu-
facturer.

Figure
Is Fashion
Of Today
Don't Let Middle-Age
Spread Accumulate
From Sitting.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

|DAME NATURE and Dame Fashion
are conspiring to keep us active.
Right through the ages that middle-
aged spread has been handled down.
1t was all right for grandmother to
sit by the fire and knit. The spread
gradually accumulated from the sit-
ting. Today's modern Eve does her
knitting, but offsets that by plenty OF
exercise.
That firm, nodded hlpline. Just the
faintest suggestion of a curve but no
Jumps or bumps or pads, that's the
edict OF the DAY. Firmness and pro-
portion are two important factors,
with good posture keeping both we'll
controlled.
Business women who sit at their
desks all day and have little oppor-
tunity to exercise have more of hip
problem than women in the home, who
can get about if they like, play a
round of golf, walk, exercise. Business
women should stand as much as they
can, walk, pick up their own papers
instead Of having the Office boy do
it. There's the danger of having the
spread attributed to old age instead Of
sedentary work, you know.
From what I've seen of the Fall
silhouette firm, even but feminine
line will be the vogue. Exaggerated
hips won't be in the running at all.
There's consolation, though, in the
fact that there is still ample time to
roll the excess pads away.
Summer is so conducive to exercise.
The casual clothes, the loose sla cks.
shorts, culottes, make exercise easy.
II you are at the beach you can
exercise, squat, jump-it's done, and
no one thinks anything OF 1t.
You can lie right on the sand on
your back (or on floor or mat. have
the shoulders touching the floor, mat
or sand. Arms out at shoulder level
at right angles to rest of body. Now
raise right leg and bring it over. trying
to touch the tips of the left hand.
Repeat few times and then try it
left leg to right hand.
| The back roll is one you can do
good for you if you cam if YOU want
to attract an admiring crowd and
Thlttle hips down at one and the
same time. 1t is little difficult for
beginners. But, with practice comes
flnesse. Same position on back,
shoulders touching floor, arms at sizes,
palms down. Raise both legs off the
floor and draw them back overhead.
See if you can touch your toes to the
floor back over your head

r vAT news from variety of
sources at home and abroad
leads to the conclusion that
L L Fall millinery, while tending
to soar upward, has so many interpre
tations IN interesting, wearable and
unusually becoming modes that every
one is going to be thoroughly pleased
about the whole situation.
First Fall presentations are usually
extreme. They are attention
getters,' and once you get the idea of
what these extreme hats are trying to
put across. along will come the more
conservative ones that embody the
same principles in a more wearable
form.
From the croWnless crepe turbans of
the Summer to the turban of black
velvet is natural transition. But
the velvet turban will. in most cases,
have a crown. and either an upward
sweep at the front in the form of a
bow or other ornamental ton, or it will
have added to it brim that rolls back
off the face and is wider at the sides.
This gives youthful line and frames
the face becomingly. The small tur-
ban often adopts the fez shape that
is worn pushed back from the forehead
and rises high. It is used with or
without veil. The afternoon models
may have folded bands of satin around
the hair line to give softer effect and
wells are very important in these
dressier types. Many of the wells are
long, reaching almost to the waistline.
THE beret is one Of the most pop
ular Fall styles. These berets fol-
low the upward and outward trend.
They frame the face and are fire.
quently shorter in back than in front.
A design in grosgrain ribbon is often
worked fat on the top. The beret
may be extremely youthful or again
a woman's choice according to slight
in manipulation and the
angle at which it is worn. 1t is con-
sidered a very important type for
wear as we'll as for Fall.
The Schiaparelli profile hat is re-
oeiving a great deal Of comment and
attention. 1t is the hat with brim
that turns up abruptly on one side
and Is finished with a small bow or
fancy ornament. This type of hat.
dating back to 1900, is more favored
by the matron than the maid It is
good to wear with tailored suits and
classic tweed topcoats.
The Scotch cap silhouette is in
cluded in many collections. We have

fitting closely at the back This sea-
son the crease in the crown. so often
identified with this type Of headgear
has been eliminated. This hat will be
found in variety Of materials, and is
especially suited to the college girl
The combination of colored ante
lope on black felt is seen again and
again. The contrasting antelope
makes an interesting trimming that
can be picked up in matching gloves
and shoes. We saw such nice little
brown turban with a bow of beige
antelope right across the forehead
which Immediately suggested beige
gloves and some accents of beige on
a brown dress or suit for Fall A
black felt with low round crown that
had narrow rolled sides and was long

which was shown with doeskin gloves
in the same soft blue. These colored
accents with black are going to be
fascinating.
One Of the most recent creations of
Lilly Dache is an enchanting black
felt halo with a scroll trim of gold
kid which encircles the hair. With
this are worn gold kid gloves, making
a perfectly stunning ensemble with
smart black frock.
Ostrich feathers appear on many lit
tie afternoon hats The small Watteau
hat that tips forward often has an
ostrich feather curling under the brim
at the back. We found one Of these
in a copy of Rose Descat hat, and
at a very moderate price, too. While
in New York recently one Of these hats
was shown us in wine red. worn with a
wine red afternoon ensemble that used

this is shown a corselet belt in the
same colors to be worn with an all
black gown. Gold brocade is another
means Of developing this same theme,

Children never grow up without

trying to develop and express indi-

friction If not resentment. The FAM

The Old Gardener SAYS:

An easy and effective method
for eradicating crab or Summer
grass from lawns is to cover the
area with tar paper during the
hot days of Midsummer or early
Fall. The covering is left on
from four to seven days. The
effect seems to be that Of scalding
due of the confined heat on the
moisture in the blades Of grass.
If only a little crab grass is to be
found in the lawn, it can be dug
out or gradually killed out by
promoting q heavy growth OF
grass with fertilizers and by pre-
venting the formation of seeds.
It is . good plan to rake the
lawn before moving 50 that the
crab grass will stand straighter
and will be cut by the mower
blades.
