HEALTH OF BODY DEPENDENT ON SOUL
by
Jones Very
Not from the earth, or skies,
Or seasons as they roll,
Come he al tn and vigor to the frame,
But from the living soul.
Is this alive to God,
And not the slave to sin?
Then will the BODY, too, receive
Health from the soul wi thin.
But if disease has touched
The spirits iru1ost art,
In vain we seek from outward things
To heal the deadly smart.
The mind, the heart unchanged,
Which clouded e'en our hone,
will make the outward world the same,
Where'er our feet may roam.
The fairest scenes on earth,
The mildest, purest sky,
Will bring no vigor to the step,
No lustre to the eye.
For He who TO r1ned our frame
Made man perfect whole,
And made the body's health depend
Upon the living soul.

PATTERN 600

If you're young, slim and headed for fun-this is YOUR dressl Buoy and spirits are written in every flip line of Pattern 600, a Claire Tilden winner. It's a two-piece style, which means all the better for you to mix up with other outfits and ex- pand your wardrobe. The pretty picture girl spreads her skirts to show you their nice fullness, and how attractive those twelve gores look. The waist part displays bit of novelty in that dashing front panel that's button-trimmed and is gathered at either side for soften- ing. You can sew on trim collar, or leave the neckline in a pretty, squared V-shape and edge 1t and the gathered sleeves with frothy lace. Make this dress in soft ray on or silk; then save the pattern and make an extra skirt of dark fabric to go with your sweaters and other blouses.
 Pattern 500 is cut in junior and misses sizes 10, 12, IA, 16 and IS; bust sizes, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36. Size 14 requires 3 1-4 yards 39 inch fab ric.
 Send FIFTEEN CENTS (15c) in coins for this pattern. WRITE CLEARLY SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS AND STYLE NUMBER.
 Send orders to the Waterbury Democrat Pattern Department.

 this is not necessary, for you can taach her, if she really likes chil- dren and if children like her. I suppose the perfect nurse would have to be a rare combination of hospital graduate, psychiatrist, angel and martyr all in one. Nursing is one of the hardest jobs I know. To be responsible for another's children requires a nervous system of cast iron. Yet that is exactly what we don't want in a nurse. We like her to be soft, sensitive and capable of great sympathy. If you advertise, investigate cre- dentials. You want someone healthy and good-natured. Then have a talk with the applicant and explain that there are few things you are particular about. The children must never be frightened by the telling of fearsome stories, or threatened with bogies.
 Again, should warn her not to shame them too much. To say to a little child, What a sissy you are," or T never saw such greedy pig" is not calculated to make them love her.
 On the other hand see to 1t that your boys treat her well.
 Of course, the supervision of daily routine must be yours. A general order must be issued so she will know just about what you wish done. In this way, the morning talk about conditions will make for mutual respect and friendliness between the two of you. It is quite important that you like this girl and she you.
 Yours sincerely,
 OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

BLANKET POINTERS

You may not be getting your moneys worth if you select blankets by color and pattern alone. Your first safeguard against buying a second rate blanket is to purchase one made by a reliable manufac- turer. The label should tell the per- centage of wool the blanket con- tains. The wool content should be new wool. which is soft yet has life and resiliency. The weave should be firm. even, strong. Have your dealer demonstrate by the stretch test the strength of the weave. The length of the nap, too, is important. Long flores, strongly gathered into the weave, make a warm, long-wearing blanket.

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION
 My girl, complains a young man, is beyond my reach. She earns $24 a week and dresses like a movie queen. The other evening I took her and her mother out. Mother favored going to a two-bit show, but Jean was strong for a g show and supper afterward. The evening set me back over twelve dollars, which made a sad hole in my $40 salary. I'm scared to take the chance of marry- ing.
 So that's the way 1t is, eh?
 Another youth recently pointed out that the hurdle that frightened him was the expenditure of $500 for an engagement ring. one with a dia- mond the girl would not be ashamed to compare with such tokens sported by her friends.
 Probably there are a good many not too timid young men, or men who were young not many years ago courting women no longer so very young, but evading any talk of a definite marriage date because they fear they will be unable to support the girl in the style to which she has been accustomed.
 Both Jean and the girl who gives her fiance the impression that noth- ing less than a $500 ring will dc sound pretty foolish, in these days of scarcity of good husbands. Three hundred bucks might make all the difference between a happy marriage and years of worry and discontent. Scientists say the sexes are ap- preaching each other, meaning thai the male is becoming more efemi. nate and the female more aggressive

 She appreciates and follows the advice she's had about wearing sim- pie clothes, beautifully cut, in pre- ference to fussy, overly dressy cos- tunes, of course. But the truly smart woman is careful not to over- do the idea of simplicity to the point where her wardrobe borders on dullness.
 Unless she is really a beauty, she knows that she cannot get away with an ensemble which includes a severely cut, all black shirtwaist dress, an untrimmed black hat and black shoes, bag, belt and gloves no matter how fine the materials of the dress and hat.
 Such an outfit might be an ideal background for great beauty of the fair-skinned, golden-haired variety, particularly, but not for average good looks. For the latter, spic and span white accents or a scarlet scarf or shimmering clips or some other attention-getting note are practically obligatory.
 Think of your first black fall dress as backstop for favorite necklace or a belt you've been long, ing to buy. Think of interesting blouses when you select a classic suit. Consider the furs that are truly fiattering to your skin, hair and figure when you pick a fur trimmed winter coat.

under the influence of civilization. Women today unquestionably do Q good deal more wooing than women did a generation ago. When the female takes the active role and the male the passive the marriage ques- ton changes. There may be some justification for the canny youth to ask the prospective bride to furnish health certificate to complement his own.
 Now that one state after another is setting up laws requiring some sort of medical test for one or more communicable diseases before issu- ing license to marry, perhaps the legal requirements will answer that question. In the old era when men did the wooing, diScovered, pursued and won or lost tke object of their affections, both chivalry and the double standard of morals which then ruled, obviated asking the girl to furnish a medical certificate of her freedom from disease or her fit- ness to marry. In that age of inno- cence @ man would hardly consider marrying a woman if he had any faint doubts of her freedom from disease or her fitness for marriage. Now with the double standard gone with the wind and no standard at all to take its place, 1t begins to seem reasonable for the prospective bride to produce health certificate tOO

 USUALLY NEEDED

In other words, go on choosing simple, basic dresses and classic suits, but figure on adding to each a touch of something or other which will make the outfit dashing instead of just ordinary. Think of accessor- les in these terms. You may not like extreme hats, but there's no reason in the world why you should wear hats which do nothing toward giv- ing your basic street dresses, as well as your spirits, slight lift.

that it is time for Catholics to con-

scheme for the reconstruction Of So

Important groups In America are
now perfectly willing to jettison
the whole system Of private owner
