1.-TWO young people who are en-
gagged have been telling me that
they have solved the problem
a of how to make marriage sue
cess. It Is for the husband and wife
to be Is free after marriage a. they
were before, and 70 they have made
q solemn agreement not to interfere
in any way with each others personal
liberty.
Great idea, replied, II it will work.
Nobody will deny that one OF the main
drawbacks to matrimony Is that it
cramps ones style. No matter how
much the fetters are gilded, they still
hold one down; and 10 If you have
found some way Of eliminating the
ball-and-chain motif in the wedding
march you will certainly deserve well
Of your fellow creatures. But inasmuch
as one cannot be both bound and free
At the same time, it will take . bit Of
doing. as our English friends say, to be
both married and single and make a

It sounds very broad-minded, mod
ern and intriguing to talk about hus-
band and wife leaving each other free
to do as they please after marriage,
but the thing isn't possible. 1t can't be
done. Marriage isn't freedom. It Is
slavery. A happy and voluntary bond

their chains. but all the same they are

No married man and woman can live
the untrammeled life after marriage
that they did before. There Is no use
In your befooling yourself into think
ing that you can. Marriage interferes
with your tastes and habits at every
turn. You will find that you can't even
eat what you like, or read in bed, or
have your old friends around you If
your husband or your wife likes a dif-
ferent style Of cookery. or can't sleep
with light on. or can't see why you
want to have that frowsy Smith man
hanging around and drinking up the
expensive Scotch, or what you see in
that silly. affected Jones woman, even
If you did 60 to school with her.
THIS bondage of husband and wife
to each other goes all through
marriage. Before marriage, son. you
are free to spend your money on your
self, but after you are married you will
find that every dollar of it belongs
to your wife and children and the
support Of your home. Before mar
riage you were free to stay downtown
of a night, play poker, eat any old
time and roll in with the milkman. but
after marriage you will have to punch
the home time clock on the dot and
be prompt for the dinner your wife
has spent hours in cooking for you,
or else
And you will find out. daughter.

 Medicine Marches On
 A physician (not specialist) writes: "In the past ten years I have done only one tonsillectomy- for patiept who had to leave the city in hurry and could not spare the time to take diathermy treat ments. I have employed electro coagulation with complete satisfac- tion to a great many of my patients. I use prOcaine anesthesia-injecting the solution into the anterior pil- lar, not into the tonsil. Patients declare they felt no pain."
 AnsWer-Yet some doctors still try to discourage patients who seek the modern treatment. And some patients are so susceptible that they undergo the old Spanish cus- tom rather than give the time nec- essary for half a dozen sessions in the doctors office.

A cake is like a woman-nappier for two hats.
 Two frostings for alternate days turn a simple cake into a festival. Here's an easy cake recipe with two fattering frostings to use one after the other.
 Busy Day Cake
 e dozen cup cakeS)
 Three cups sifted cake flour, teaspoons combination baking pow der, 4 teaspoon salt, 12-3 cups sugar, F cup softened butter or other shortening, 3 eggs well beaten, 1H cups milk, teaspoon vanilla.
 Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder, salt and sugar, and sift together three times. Add but ter. Combine eggs, milk and vanilla and add to flour mixture, stirring until all flour is dampened.
 Then beat vigorously for l min- ute. Bake in three greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375 degrees F) for 25 minutes. Spread orange butter frosting between lay CTS and on top of cake.
 If you prefer cup cakes for pie nics this cake may be baked in greased large cup-cake pans in mod crate over (375 degree F) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. Spread with chocolate mocha frosting.

Seasonal And Perennial
 Hay Fever

Coryza Greek (no fooling) for catarrh. Webster, to whom I defer in these minor matters, defines cor yza as an acute Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavities; nasal catarrh. Trouble with Webster is he doesn't know where to stop. Give him his head and he goes on and on as long as anybody will listen. But I have already paid him due deference and that's enough. We'll leave him gabbling about cold in the head and eXhume Dr. Osler, who explains that autumn nal catarrh, often associated with asthmatic attacks, is due to the &C., tion of pollen of certain grasses and plants upon a Representative mu- cous membrane. Then Dr. Osler goes right into the history, etiology, path ology and therapeutics of the ail- ment. I commend his example to Dr. Webster, who takes up entirely too much time and space trying to please everybody.
 Representative mucous membrane, Dr. Brady had better explain, means the mucous membrane is more sensitive, more irritable, more susceptible to impressions or stim- uli than normal mucous mem- brane, for instance reacting quick ly and excessively to pollen grains in the air. Whether the hypersensi- tivity or hyperesthesia is a state of the cells constituting the mucous membrane itself or of the sympa- thetic or autonomic nerves SUD- plying the mucous membrane is a secondary consideration. Here the important thing to remember, whe- ther you have genuine hay fever, perennial hay fever (which is rare ly if ever genuine) low grade eth- mold sinuSitis, vasomotor hyperes- thetic rhinitis or just a mysterious nasal allergy, is that any calcium deficiency renders all body cells nerve cells as well as muscle cells and mucous mebrane cells, more ir- ritable. It is well to remember, in association with this physiological function of calcium, that accord ing to good nutrition authorities the diet of Americans is more likely to be deficient in calcium than in any other element. And finally, an- other physiological fact of practical importance is that an adequate in- take of vitamin D is essential for the absorption and utilization of cal cium in the body and for its reten- tion in the cells.
 Now hay fever covers many ail- ments which are not necessarily all due to the same inherent, or con- stitutional cause. However, if any prophylactic or remedial treatment Is likely to do good and unlikely to do any harm in any such cases

.BEAUTy--- GlorUying
 Yourself

 Your coiffure and makeup, as well as your clothes, should suit the oc- casion. It's almost as impractical from a standpoint of good taste, not to mention comfort, to wear an elab- crate, easy-to-disarrange hair-do for tennis as it would be to play in a dinner gown instead of backless tennis dress.
 You may not want or find it pos sible to affect special hair style for sports, another for daytime, a third for evening and so on, as do many motion picture stars. But if you have followed the mode and are wearing your hair up and away from your face and intricately waved and curled on top of your head, you certainly need a "Second best" coiffure for summer. That is, if you like active sports at all. It can be ever so flattering, of course, but it ought to be simple to keep in place and easy to re-arrange even after tight bathing cap has been pulled on and off.
 Simple Coiffure
 That Is Convertible
 The ideal foundation hair cut for this season seems to be the one which leaves the hair low on the neckline (not high on the shoulders) at the back and mediums short at the front. For evening, it can be brushed upward all the way around and piled on top of the head, or , sides can be swept up and back worn long. For daytime, the evening arrangement can be brushed down, then back from the brow to give a casual yet trim effect. Naturally, the foundation cut is all important. Put yourself in the hands of the best hairdresser you can afford and, with him, try to work out something which lends it. self to variety of cultures. Incl dentally, don't let any hairdresser or barber use thinning shears on your hair.
 Beware Splitting
 the Ends of Hairs
 These may make his work simpler, but they "chop up" your hair, often splitting the ends. Thinning can and should be done with regular hair cutting scissors. Also, don't let anyone "frizz up" the ends with razor. This, too, is likely to split the end of each hair.
 Unless your eyelashes are quite colorless, don't wear mascara for sports, or even in the daytime dur ing summer months when the sun shine is so bright and all-revealing. Save mascara and eyeshadow, too, for evening.
 Generally speaking, one needs more rouge and lipstick at night than in the daytime. If your even- ing date begins while it still is quite light, put on careful daytime make up. carry a bit of rouge and some mascara with you and then put on more rouge and apply the eye make up when it gets dark. If you start out in full evening makeup, you'll look too artificially done up. If you don't carry rouge with you, you'll look positively washed out once the sun goes down and the lights are turned on.
