tears when he snaps at you. He has
to blow of steam or explode when he
has been nsgged by the boss, or had to
deal with cantankerous clients all day,
so make yourself into a handy safety
valve for him instead Of taking it as a
personal affront. He Is not romantic
by nature, so let him say it with checks
in place of orchids, instead Of thinking
he has ceased to love you.
DoN'T put away your romance with
your wedding veil and lock it up
in the closet OF your heart. Keep on
being lover. Before marriage man
does the counting. After marriage
the wife must do it II she wants to
keep the fire burning on the altar. No
matter how much a man takes his
wife for granted, he doesn't want her
to take him that way and regard him
as just bill-payer. He wants her to
fuss over him and flatter him, and tell
him how happy she is and what good
husband he is and how she thanks
her lucky stars that she got him.

A blue"
Gift for
The Bride
S ON ethin g Other
Than the Traditional
Lucky Garter.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

HAVE had few unusual requests
since last weeks series on Beauty
and the Bride"
What to bive the bride as the lucky
blue" gift?
A prominent New York department
store solves the problem, offering
dozens of darling gifts in orchid blue
-. such delightful details as hangers
and lingerie cases, heart-shaped
sachet perfumed with the essence Of
rare blue orchid and the perfume Of
this rare flower itself.
AS mentioned in one Of my articles,
brides are ensembling their cosmetics
and their perfumes as carefully and
as cleyerly as they do their costumes.
The modern bride may have as
many as a dozen different perfumes,
but she carries out one basic odor in
her set of toiletries. By that I mean
she would not dream Of superimposing
one odor upon another If she
chooses the blue orchid perfume she
carries that out in her eau de cologne,
her face and busting powder, her
lipstick, rouge and sachet. Her cos
metic creams and lotions have no
perfume at all, or if they have, it is
the dalntiest, faintest possible odor
to avoid any clash with the above.
named articles Of her toilette.
All of these lovely things are none
the less appropriate for the graduate
or as birthday or bridge gifts than
for the bride. And we have it on good
authority that blue Is essentially a
happy color and will make you feel
quite the opposite Of its enormously
associated loW-in-spiritS attitude.
1t gees without saying that mere
color Is not enough. When you give
a blue" gift it must be useful or
decorative, it must fulfill a definite
mission. The eau de cologne, for
instance, should be stimulating and
its fragrance should be lasting. The
face powder should be fine, fatting
cltngtng; the lipstick should have lust
the right texture going on smoothly
without being greasy. it should be
lndelible, 1t should retain its color in
heat or cold, sun, sea or wind. The
sachet should have a delicate fra
GRANGE that fingers long ard whether
IN bottle or intriguingly shaped little
satin bag, it should be as decorative
as It is useful
These are but few blue" sugges-
tions that are distinctive, different and
not as likely to be duplicated as the
traditional blue garter.

ligion of Worshiping the sun,
and all of us bow the knee to
- Old Sol to some extent. On
cloudy days our spirits droop and our
dispositions are not what they ought
70 be, but the minute the sun breaks
through and the sky is blue once more,
we smile and "alls well with the
world"
No one longs for the JOY of revelling
in sunshine more than the modern city
dWeller in the Summer time. She
looks forward eagerly to weekend in
vitations to the country and the
beach, but that does not always salts
fly her needs in this direction as she
languishes in a hot apartment by
night and sits at an Office desk by
DAY, with her thoughts often straying
to pine cliffs overlooking the rocky
New England coast, placid lake in
the Adirondacks or lazy beach In
Jersey, where she might be lolling in
the sun and drinking in that mar
velous feeling of Well-being that comes
with vacation time.
But why wait for that? Keep fit
and enjoy each day as it comes along.
Get your share of sunshine and sun

The Old Gardener SAYS:

There are several vines pro-
duced from bulbs which have
merit. One of the best is
the cinnamon vine (Dioscorea
batatas), which is recommended
to garden makers who want
quick effects. The cinnamon
vine may be expected to grow 20
to 80 feet in one Summer
and carries heart-shaped leaves,
which are shiny and attractive.
The vine gets its name from the
fact that the little white flowers
have a fragrance which suggests
cinnamon. This bulb is different
FROM those commonly used, as it
Is hardy and need not be dug up
even in the North. 1t likes a rich
soil. The curiously shaped roots
should be planted in an upright
position under the surface.

A ND so, daughter, you are going
~ to be married, and you are
~ hoping and praying that your
1 \ marriage will stick and will
not become one Of those messy affairs
that peter out in divorce in two or
three years, with the young wife taking
the baby and going back home to
mother and hunting for job to
support herself.
Well, marriage is what you make
it. You get out Of it just as much as
you put into it. This goes double for
women because every wife IS twice
as much married to her husband as
he Is to her and, unfair and unjust or
not, the success Of the marriage de-
pends more upon her than it does
upon him.
Now no woman who has ever been
through the matrimonial mill herself,
and who remembers with smiles and
tears how dumb she was, and the
mistakes and blunders she made when
she was bride, can ever see girl
marching to the altar without yearn-
ing to load her down with advice. I'm
like that, and so here's my two cents
worth:
Il X X X
MY FIRST bit Of counsel is to look
A upon marriage as Job instead Of
q romantic adventure. Marriage isn't
a sentimental journey. 1t Is q long,
hard road that Is difficult to travel
You will find plenty OF disillusions and
discouragements, but it leads to para
disc If you have the courage and grit
to follow it. Make up your mind that
you are going to stick it, no matter
what happens. That you are going to
put your heart and your back into
making your marriage a success, and
that you are going to be just as good
q wife as you were private secretary
or clerk.
My next bit OF counsel is to watch
your step the first year Of marriage
That is the crucial time when you and
your husband will virtually settle the
whole status Of your future life to-
gether. It Is then that you will form
the quarreling habit, or acquire
dexterity in handling each other with
gloves. Don't argue. Don't nag.
| Don't henpeck. Don't forget that the
greatest charm that any wife can have
for her husband is being easy to live
with.
Don't expect too much of your
husband. Fairy princes exist only in
young girls imaginations. No woman
ever marries one The man she gets is
just a plain ordinary human being as
| full of faults and foibles as she is. He
| is irritable when he Is hungry, 80
