 And why shouldn't he be? His perfect wife has run off and left him, and he can't even blame her for it. Hasn't she gone just for the sake of the children?
 There is no one to notice his haircuts. No one to have a cool drink ready for him when he gets home from the office after melt ing day. No one to offer sympathy.
 He puts up with the dreariness for a while. But unless he is more unattractive than the average man there is always someone he can take to dinner the night he begins to rebel.
 If the evening should become habit-forming, the wife would be righteously indignant.
 Well, she asked for it. She didn't have to go away for a whole sum- mer and leave him to loneliness and temptation. She just kidded herself into thinking it was her duty.
 If she had kept her husband in mind as well as herself and the children she could have figured out a better solution. She could have sent the children to camp, let them visit their grandparents, or could have kept them at home.

What could be lovelier than this gem of a lily pool, sparkling cooliy in your garden?
 If you start the gorgeous tropical lily now-you'll have fragrant, cole orful blooms in about a month. And this handsome exotic needs only 8 modest amount of space.
 The pool itself is simple to make. For pigmy lilies tub you can sink into the ground will do. But for the larger lilies, best to have con- crete pool. You can easily make one from directions. The trick is to mix ingredients thoroughly-and work fast.
 Tropical lilies are happiest in shallow water, so plant them in 8 box or bushel basket raised on stones as the diagram shows. Other types of lilies you plant in the soil at the bottom of. the pool.
 AS for the border, use picturesque flagstones, plant stonecrop between them, add clump of ornamental fountain grass. In the background "a tiny rock garden with pinks, bluebellS and columbine.
 Find complete directions in our 32-page booklet for making and planting all types of lily pools. Tells what to plant around your pool, how to make many delightful kinds of little rock gardens.

WOMAN,S REALM
GlOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer

ANA1EA wa NAO@ CNtSAA NNAAwCe Unless your hair is naturally curly or happens to look well when worn quite straight, an important aid to your peace of mind during summer months ili a new permanent wave. And one way to be sure that the wave will be all you hope is to make sure that your hair is in proper condition.
 It's an excellent idea to go in for reconditioning treatments for at least three weeks before you get a new permanent. Brush your hair every single night; use tonic to correct whatever scalp defects you happen to have, and use it &C., cording to directions; have, if pos- sible, some kind of weekly scalp treatment.
 HOT OIL BEST
 FOR DRY HAIR
 For dry hair, hot oil treatment cannot be beaten. Simply rub hot olive oil into your scalp and the dry ends of hair, then wiring towel out of very hot water and wrap it around your head. The steam will help to drive the oil into your scalp. When the towel has cooled, again dip it in hot water, wiring as dry as possible, wrap it around your head, then cover with dry towel for few moments.
 Now place your elbows on a table, put your head in your hands and massage your scalp for three or four minutes. Afterward, shampoo in the usual manner, using liquid sham poo, of course, and rinsing thor oughly.
 For exceptionally oily hair, pine tar or balsam oil shampoo often is recommended. There are plenty Of prepared shampoos which contain quantities of pine tar. And it is pos- sible to buy balsam oil for use at home. To use, it simply rinse hair with hot water, pour on the oil work it ito scalp and hair for sev- eral minutes, then rinse out. Naturl- ally, the rinsing requires time and patience. Thick balsam oil does not rinse out as easily or as quickly as soap.

silent transactions of checks.
 That was experience that Lily had lacked. Or, if she had seen the actual cash being spent, she probably had never had any handling of the money itself.
 She should have been permitted to do something of the buying. She should have learned that money in the house was not surplus gravy; that most luxuries have to come last. She had somehow ob- sorbed the idea that cash in hand meant something to be spent en- tirely on the person who owned it.
 This is one reason why any young brides fail at first. They do not know that when in doubt between hamburger or lipstick, it is food that means trumps. John needs feeding first, or he may fail to notice that brand new shade of carmine.

 @. Give formula for Javelle water.
 A. To one pound of washing soda crystals in an enameled utensil, add 1 quart of boiling water. Mix one- half pound chloride of lime in quarts of cold water. Combine the two mixtures and let them stand for several hours to settle. Pour the clear liquid off from the sediment, or strain the liquid through thick cloth, then pour it into dark bottles and keep the bottles corked tightly. Javelle water deteriorates with time, therefore it should be made in not larger than that given in the recipe. It is most effective when used hot.

This native of Mexico is known to
those familiar with it as the Old
Man Cactus because of it's flowing
white hair. Certainly it is fitting
name for the cactus, as the long,
hairlike spines are so abundant and
fine they easily make you think of
a heavy suit of hair. To make the
resemblance more complete, the
spines grow from the head or crown
of the plant. They even part, and
thus the deception is very con-
vincing.
Many cactus growers welcome this
member of the famous tribe to their
collection. 1t is fond of dry soil
and lots of sunshine. You may for
get to water it all you like. AS long
AS it has a drink once in while,
1t can and does manage. This is the
reason cacti have been so successful
on the hot, dry deserts. They have
adapted themselves to their en-
vironment and made every bit of
their life conform to the conditions
about them. They have made it
their business not to try and accept
conditions, but to see to it that they
mt perfectly into the plan.
That is why they do not have
leaves. That would mean evapora-
ton and death. Needles and thorns
take the place of leaves and also
act as guards against any who would

cred 1920 another queer cactus
which is sought-after as a COM
panion for the Old Man. It is a
dainty little plant of low-growing
tendencies and covered with soft,
silky hair that is white as snow, and
f1ttingly established under the name
of Little Old Lady or Grandma.
This cactus also produces offshoots
easily and the two surely look fine
together, adding not only a note of
established family connections, but
giving an impression of congeniality
as well. The scientific name of the
Little Old Lady is Mammillaria
hahniarla Werd, in case you would
like to have company for Grandpa.
You who are adding to your cactus
garden will not be happy until you
have the pair side by side in your

EVER ONWARD

It would be no easy matter to set
tie and adjust a million wandering
people. We talk of these families
uprooted by economical conditions,
looking for a place to begin a new
life, and the average Kennewick
reader concludes we are discussing a
foreign situation brought on by war
conditions. This fact exists in our
U. S. and the number is estimated by
the American Humane Society. $780,
600 families with no settled homes,
only few thousand of them being
gypsies, who are known as roam
ers. Too many children born on the
roads, too many experiences depress-
ing and discouraging to parents
where wandering is their way. Many
foreign problems demand our at
tention but this domestic one with
in our own country, the wealthiest
nation in all the world, should be
considered.

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT

The fact that advertisers appeal
to the women as the cog in the wheel
Of exchange, so does the price OF
food commodities depend upon her
say so. The many housewives here
in Kennewick and the nation at
large, are glad for a surplus of corn,
wheat, potatoes, sugar, cotton. The
farmers may not rejoice in the sur
plus but the women feel that hav-
ing a bumper crop during a period
Of war is not such a bad thing for
a government. The fields of for
eign lands may be plowed under by
bombs, the tracks of tanks cause a
food shortage and the farmers turn
soldiers. There IS ample storage on
hand and the farmer who walled for
over-production may see us feeding
much of Europe.
The women Of the nation will have
1t In their power to keep the price
OF commodities on q sane footing.
The first furry Of buying sugar and
flour due to the present war, has
subsided and shown the woman
buyer what she can do to the price
Of goods. There is a council of 30
agricultural representatives appoint-
ed to take a stand in keeping prices
from soaring too high to be fair
and going too low to be disasterous.
But they will need the help Of Ken
aewick housewives to keep the situ-
alton in hand.
