It's fairly difficult these days
to center attention on anything
which hasn't to do with brides
and weddings. Books and maga-
zines are filled with timely
articles and reams of advice.
Most intelligent is an article
in June Good Housekeeping,
authored by DR.. William Lyon
Phelps in which he outlines
rules for a happy home.
Sensible Sounding
Three Rules
His first rule is: Young hus-
bands. never leave the house,
if only to post letter at the
corner, without kissing your
wife. =
The second rule for both htts-
band and wife is: During the
first 20 years of marriage oc-
cupy the same bedroom, and
never go to sleep with resent
ment in your hearts.
The third rule is this-Since
the highest and most permanent
happiness depends on the art Of
living together, the way to prac-
tice this art successfully lies
through character. The surest
way to obtain character is
through religion-religion in the
home.

African Women Gang Up

porting a study of customs spon-
sored by the society and the Univer-
sity museum, University of Penn
sylvania.
Until British authority became eff
fective in southern Sierra Leone, the

power than the native chieftains,
especially in maintaining law and
order. 1t is still powerful and -four

WHETHER you line your new
w draperies or not will depend
on how heavy the material is. 1t
is important, however, that the
top of draperies be stiffened when
French heading is used. A soft
canvas which may be purchased
in drapery departments is gen
orally used for this purpose. From
four to six inches is a good depth
to cut the heading canvas. Turn
the top of the curtain material
over it and sew as at A.
Start to sew the plat about an
inch down from the top of the
drapery and sew it the depth of
the stiffening, as shown here at B.
Pinch this plat into three small
plaits and, starting two inches
down from the top, sew through
as at c. Sew these plaits the
depth of the stiffening, so that
they appear as shown here at D.
Now turn to the wrong side and
sew a ring to the back of each
plat as at E.

VETERAN BATTERED
BY ILL-LUCK BUT
NOT DISCOURAGED
Disabled Canadian Soldier
Loses 8 of His Family
and ID Homes.

WEST CHESTER, PA.-Misfor-
tune and bad luck have dogged the
trail of Sgt J. A. Foster of the
Thirteenth Black Watch, Forty
eighth Highlanders, Canadian army,
for many years but the tougher the
breaks the harder he fought back.
Stranded here with his wife and
two children while en- route from
Miami, Fla, to Hamilton, Ont, in a
crude pushcart, Foster told the
story of his life, a story Of i'll luck,
personal injury and financial desti-
tuition.
He said that during his life he
built IA homes and lost them all.
His five daughters, mother and two
sisters were killed in a hurricane.
He is disabled from World war
wounds and is dead broke"
"To Start Over Again"
''But I'm not discouraged" he
said. I'm not giving up. I'm 60
ing to start all over again"
Foster, who is Sc, is taking his
wife and two children, Beatrice, II,
and Willie, 10, to his native Canada
to collect a war pension. The fam
ily's mode of transportation is 8
homemade cart which is propelled
by hand.
"We've been on the road for more
than 100 days" Foster revealed
while here. We've crossed IS
mountains, weathered all sorts Of
storms and never asked for help"
He keeps a small tin can fastened
on the side of his cart with a
sign, Donations. Occasionally a
stranger drops a coin in the slot.
"One day." Foster said, "a
Scotchman named McTiddler came
along and looked us over. By a
coincidence it happened that he
served with the Canadian forces in
the World war, in the same COM
pany Of Highlanders that 1 did. We
had long talk together and he gave
me a dollar.
Even Faces Ridicule.
Some people make fun of US.
But 1 do not let that bother me. I
wonder how many of them would
have the spunk to do what l am
doing and keep on after what I've
been through"
Five of his homes were destroyed
successfully by flood, hurricane and
fire. In 1926 his Moorhaven Fla0
home was devastated by a hurri-
cane which killed his mother,
daughters and sisters. His last
home was destroyed at Key Largo,
Fla, in 1885.
There's a silver plate under my
scalp where l was wounded that
makes my head throb when I lie
down to sleep at night" Foster said.
My teeth hurt sometimss-the
ones that were driven up into my
gums when l was hit in the mouth
by shrapnel.
But outside of that I'm all right"
