Cats and goats have been brothers

old order was automatically thrown
on the negative side. Spirits became

More than once q month the ques-

the real values Of life? I'd like one
that gave him fine cultural back

like the ads in the papers, to be read

To all such searchers I have one

Everything teacher or parent needs

latest word on what to do for the all

gists, the psychiatrists. the scientists,
the poets, the prophets and teachers
of the ages. The history Of human
struggle, suffering, aspiration, and VIC
tory are there, and SO are the records
of sin, sorrow and tragic failure.
Civilized peoples live by the Ten
Commandments. They are recorded
in the Bible. If there were no other
code, no other guide for those who
deal with children, there it is, per-

cannot fail.
Gentle people live by the Golden

reasons for her popularity among

slender girls. like Miss Joyce, are the
most desirable for wearing all types

Some girls are selected for special

must have beautiful carriage.

Be just as tall as you can make YOUR

smiled watching you learn good pos

and admire your supple grace, your
distinctive manner of wearing clothes
and your beauty of movement. To

Dead Brown F oliage
Means Evergreens
Need Feeding.

When the arbor vitaes and other
evergreens show brown, dead leaves,
they need either thorough watering
or food. This can best be supplied by
mixing handful or two of cottonseed
meal and about one-half as much
superphosphate with two bushels of
leafmold or compost. Work one-half
Of this into the soil Ito a depth of 4
or inches) and spread the balance
over the surface of the soil as mulch.
Regular annual or semi annual prun-
ing of the evergreens also will aid to
keep them green and growing.
Be sure that the evergreens do not
go into the winter with the soil dry.
They retain their leaves and carry on
a certain amount of growth all win
ter, hence they need moisture at all
times. Mulching and an occasional
watering will supply this need.
1t is time now to plant the seeds
of hardy ANIMALS where they are to
grow. Cornf1owers, California poppies,
larkspur, cosmos and many others may
be safely planted now and will start
into growth and bloom much earlier
than will spring-sown seed. As soon
as the beds are made the seed should
be Sown and this work may be done
any time between now and freezing
weather.

points out that If you put your au-

Fall Is the ideal time to grade, build
walks, pools, drives, etc. There are
many warm days in the fall when the
ground is in condition for such work

leisurely then than in the spring. Do
it, therefore, in the fall, even though
planting Is necessarily deferred until
spring.

Keep Beauty
With Home

By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Without rest periods no woman can
hope to keep youthfully beautiful.
Years ago American women never
thought of taking any holiday the
year through, with the exception OF
the Sabbath. They were too busy in
building this country Of ours. AS the
country aged, the summer holiday be-
came q habit-in fact necessity, for
science preached that the human ma
chine needed an occasional rest pc
riod. Recently women realized that
by taking both brief summer and
winter holiday from their duties, they
retain their health the better.
Statistics now tell us that the
American woman is living longer. And
what is more important to our van
ity she is keeping young looking long
er! These rest periods, and labor
saving devices for the home, have
helped a great deal toward creating
a better physical specimen.
I know an extremely busy widow
with three growing children. She
works to keep them clothed, fed and
in school. On her job, depends all
this, so she cannot afford to jeopar-
die it in any way.
So frequently on a Saturday after
noon she sends her brood TO a movie
or to understanding friends. Then
she indulges in a luxurious slow bath
and delightful personal groomings,

until she is rested.

Dear Miss Dix-When people marry,
should they have an equal amount of
intelligence, breeding, education and
so forth? Or should the man be
superior to the wife or the wife to the
husband? In my case I am inclined
to believe that I am just little above
my husband. Do you think the feeling
of superiority will make me tire of
him? He worships me and thinks he
has the greatest wife in the world, and
we are very happy but fear I may
some times grow weary of him.
MRS. L. S.
Arswer-Congeniality is certainly
the one most important factor in max
ing any marriage success. AS long
as married couple think alike and
have the same tastes and habits and
enjoy the same things they are sure
to be happy together.
If you will trace every family quar-
rel back to its origin, you will find
that it had its beginning in a difference
of opinion. The husband wanted to
do one way, the wife another. Both
were absolutely certain that they were
right and their own individual point
of view was the only one that any
intelligent human being could hold.
Arguments ensued. Bitter words were
said. Criminations and recriminations
followed and the fight was on.
Let man and woman belong to the
same church or political party and it
is bond between them. Let them
belong to different ones and nine times
out of ten it is the cause of
perpetual scrap between them. It is
the women who loathe golf who COM
plain Of being golf widows, not the
women who. play a good game them
selves and who enjoy a day on the
links and the post-mortems afterward.
A husband and wife who like to step
out can have aNgrand time going to
night clubs, but if the husband likes
to go and the wife likes to stay put,
or vice versa, there are tears and re-
proaches and ructions at home. And
so it goes.
Certainly the man and the woman
who belong to the same social circle,
who have the same tastes and habits,
who know the same people and who
have about the same amount of educa-
ton are far more likely to be con-
genial than are people who were reared
in different environment, who have
different traditions and different Gus
toms and ideas and are accustomed
to different school of cookery.
But in q case where either the hus-
band or wife has more intelligence and
has had better social and educational
advantages it is far better for the
couple themselves for the man to be
the superior, but it is worse for the
children. It is far more important
for children to have a superior mother
than It Is to have a superior father.
In recent survey that was made in
domestic relations it was found that
in the cases where the husband was
superior the marriage was generally a
success, whereas when the gray mare
was the better horse the marriage was
almost invariably failure.
The reason for this Is easily seen.
A mans vanity cannot stand for him
to look up to his wife, whereas q
woman really likes to look up to her
husbend. A woman glordes "a has

For Beginners.

Most beginning gardeners plant their
tulips in rows or in solid beds. This
is always Disappointing in effect as
compared to the more natural group
planting, although it is easier to culti-
vate. From to Is bulbs planted in
a group of the same color will greatly
enhance the beauty of the individual
flower as well as the general effect.

husbands achievements, but a man
seems to think that his wife's achieve
ments are reflection on him in some
way. When a woman wins fame in
any line she nearly always pays for
it by losing her husband to some
cuddly moron who sits at his feet
and tells him how great and wonder
full he is. Also. men do not appear
to be bored by stupid women as women
are by stupid men. A wife is ashamed
of a husband who is dumb, but a man
doesn't appear mortified by a wife
who hasn't two ideas to rub together
in her head.
But when there are children, If
either parent is superior it is vital
to their interests that the mother
should be the better one. For it is
the mother, who is with the children
all the time. who forms their manners
and their ideals, and who shapes their
characters and who sees that they
are educated and get their chance
in life.
