SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT

Heaven knows a young woman and her parents or guardians have enough to worry about when the young woman accepts an offer of marriage these days, without drag ging in any ugly morbid statistics Yet in this vital matter ignor- ance is anything but bliss. It is far better for all concerned, the pros- pective bride, the prospective bride- groom, their families, friends and heirs, if any, to consider calmly and intelligently the serious facts on which are based laws Gin many states) requiring at least syphilis tests of the applicants for mar riage license. If the advice gave In this column years ago were generally followed the intelligent portion of the population would have less to worry about. ad- vised that, instead of waiting un- til the time comes to obtain a mar riage license, "a young man of upright character ought to obtain and offer his health certificate voluntarily as Q preliminary to his engagement"
 Even at that early day numerous readers, with what I thought and still think questionable chivalry, asked why the young woman should not submit the same evi- dence to her fitness to marry. From the elementary biological viewpoint, and in view of the moral standard which tacitly prevails, the question seems out of order.
 Some of the legal requirements now being imposed on applicants for license to marry must be re- garded as Q step in the right di- rection but timid step which should not deceive any well in- formed candidate for marriage.
 It Is all very fine to have . Wasserman test of the blood for syphilis, within thirty days of the date of marriage, and negative report -- that is, no evidence of syphilis found. But what assur. ance does that give one contracting marriage that the marriage will not have disastrous consequences from latent, smouldering or un- cured gonorrhea2
 As parent or guardian of c young woman eligible for mar riage, If I could have but one test of the man seeking to marry her, I'd choose the test for gonorrhea unhesitantly.
 Syphilis does naturally cease to be communicable after 1t has run @ course of two years or so, in most cases. Probably 1t becomes only feebly communicable as soon as the secondary stage (skln rash and mucous membrane patches) has passed.
 Gonorrhea never ceases to be communicable, even though the chronic or intermittent manifesta- tions of the disease continue for many years after the acute symp- toms of the early weeks have passed and been forgotten.
 Of course not all men are liars and not all men are inquitous. But so many of all degrees or classes of young men do SOW wild oats in their heyday that there is no al- formative but to regard all men as possibly infected until or unless Q

 Their parents can't name these peculiarities in their offspring. But can. It is aversion to work as something for itself, in contract tc work that gets into the imagina- ton. No, 1t is not laziness. Sim. ply preference.

 Then, 1t seems to me, the best way Is to tell the children tho simple truth. That routine work is the essential of living.

 This will come in handy in later life, when both of them will prob ably have to do the job-at-hand, as ninety per cent of the people in the land are doing. It is not al- ways the work we prefer that we find to do, but the housekeeping, the accounting, the selling, the la borious crafts and trades and what not, that buffers bread.

 6. Don't talk all the time. Just sit still part of every evening you spend at home, or go off in another part of the house and butter to your hearts content. Give him a chance to think, or read or just plain relax.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Here are the case histories of two who, six weeks ago, suddenly dis covered that they were dissatisfied with their looks, their clothes, their social life-in fact, just plain bored with everything.
 Miss A., always pretty impulsive and inclined toward roaring enthu- siasms which cool quickly, got a new permanent wave and four dresses. She went on rigid diet after, instead of before, she bought the dresses. It didn't matter any, way, because she stayed on the starvation diet only two and a half days and got a severe headache for her trouble.
 Miss As permanent was a good one, but she got 1t from 8 shop so far from her home and office that she never has been able to get back there for @ finger wave. The man she does go to can't seem to figure out what the permanent wave operator had in mind when he gave the haircut and wave. Miss As hair hasn't looked or felt right since. And it's not the fault of either operator.
 The dresses haven't been success full either. Miss A. spent so much on the four of them that she never has been able to afford nice access sories. She wishes that she had bought two with proper accessories instead of four with no accessories. She wishes, too, that she had stay ed on the diet, but she remembers the experience so unpjleasontly that she hates to try dieting again. In other words, aside from couple of wishes and some dresses which aren't especially useful, Miss A. is just about where she was six weeks ago.
 SUCCESS
 STORY
 Miss B., however, simply decided to cut out starches and rich pas tries and to eat smaller portions of everything at every meal. She has stuck to her resolutions and, after only six weeks, she weighs five pounds less and feels marvellous.
 She brushed her hair night and morning for three weeks, then she got @ permanent wave from her regular hairdresser The wave is a honey and her hair looks lovely.
 The day the scales showed her to be five pounds lighter, Miss B. got to new dresses and @ set of de luxe accessories that goes nicely with both. Miss B. looks smart and feels pretty good about life these days. Her old friends are amazed but very pleased at the change in her. And her brand new beau, hay ing shown her off to all of his friends, now plans to show her off to his family. The girls getting i somewhere.

o. It Is possible to dye gray hair at home SO that 1t cannot pc de- tected?
 A. It is practically impossible to dye hair successfully at home and 1t rarely escapes detection. Gray hair is natures way of protecting beauty and softening the face that is be- ginning to show age. Persons with graying hair should care for 1t and make 1t more lovely, instead of run ming the risk of destroying its beau- ty by unsuccessful dyeing. Gray hair can be prevented to a certain ex- tent by hygienic methods of keeping the hair in good condition and the scalp loose and free from dandruff. Proper massage and shampoos will do much to give life and natural color to the hair. Ryeing the hair is expensive and sometimes disastrous, and should not be undertaken light ly. The hair must be touched up frequently to keep it the same color and the work should be done only by an expert.
