@OMES the middle of August,
and every college girl starts
shopping for clothes She tears
in and out of shops, buying
skirts. sweaters, dresses, coats and all
the other things that make up her
wardrobe. 1t really makes us little
green with envy at the thought OF
dashing off to school instead of re-
turning to a typewriter. but at least
we have the fun of suggesting some
of the requirements of the coming
year-With accent on cosmetics. Beauty
aids play just as big part in the
life of the coed as do clothes. SO it
might be wise idea while you are
doing your shopping, to investigate
some of the new products.
One of the cutest gadgets that is
practical as well, is miniature razor
small enough to inclose in the palm OF
your hand. 1t comes complete in a
pear-Shaped case, which can be pur-
chased in six different color combi-
recommendations, f'rinStance: 1t has
a two-way curved blade-lengt thwise
and crosswiSe-that enables you to
handle it efficiently; there are only
two parts 10 the razor, and no teeth,
SO it cannot clog and is very easy to
clean; third, it is SO attractive and so
compact that you can slip it into a
purse with no trouble at all If you're
staying at home, you may be pleased at
the thought that Dad will no longer
yell about people using his razor-he'll
probably be using yours Complete
with two extra blades it is definitely a
feminine gadget.
For the trip TO school as well as your
stay there, you'll rejoice in another

you that a wife would be a help and
that with her to work for you would
perform prodigies of salesmanship
that would land you at the head of
your company in few years.
But truth is truth and cannot de-
ceive you with any such fairy tale. l
am bound to tell you that poor boy
who marries poor girl before he is
in a position to support family ham
dicaps himself so heavily that he never
wins out in the race of life unless he
has phenomenal strength and ability.
The unmarried man Is free to go
wherever his Arm wants to send him.
Often it is to places where it would
not be feasible to take woman. He
can make many valuable social con-
facts that the man who is tied to a
wife can't The bachelor is welcomed
in many places where he would not
be If he had to drag wife along with
him. He can stay on a job until it is
finished instead of having to hurry
home to q wife who writes how lone
some she Is without him. His mind
is not distracted by home problems.
He can save money, if it is in him to
make good, SO that he can take ad-
vantage Of any opportunity that opens,
whereas the married man is lucky il
he can berak even at the end of the
month.
IN YOUR youth and inexperience
you have no idea of the response
bilities of marriage. You don't realize
what it will mean having to skimp
and pinch every penny just to live,
and live poorly at that. You don't
know the agony that will tear your
soul to see the wife you love sick and
lacking the food and medicine and at
tentfon you cannot give her; or how
awful it is to dread the coming Of a
baby because you do not know how
you can feed another mouth. You
do not know the complications that
can<arise when a wife makes enemies
for her husband instead of friends;
when she is peevish and complaining;
when she reproaches him for the
hardships of her lot.
These things take every bit OF am
bition, courage and initiative out OF
a man. They doom him to failure.
When you say that wife settles a
young man you use the right word.
She generally settles him for good
and ALL.

Every one who has slim, young
