Bay Window Problem

Bay windows, as well as the
slightly curved windows often found
in modern homes, always present
the problem of what to place in
front Of them without spelling the
effect. If there is a built-in window
seat, there is nothing more practical
and decorative than a hunt break
fast table in mahogany. with two
arms which fold over when not in
use. For the other type, a graceful,
curved mahogany table or nest of
tables would be appropriate.

Won't YOU please, please tell me what
to say to him?
PUZZLED.
There are two possible ways to
deal with this situation. Which is
better depends on you, and on the
boy.
If he is reasonable, Self-Controlled
and n-tempered, and if you can
readily say what you wish to say, a
frank talk with him would be the
best plan. Tell him that you are too
Young to make any definite commit
ments, and that YOU therefore think
it only fair to him and TO yourself
that YOU return his school ring. If
YOU handle the situation tactfully.
YOU should still be able to retain his
friendship.
Save his face as much as possible.
You may even have to admit that
YOU just don't know your own mind!
Show confidence in his ability to
take it, He'll try hard to merit
that confidence.

FROM THE MEMO PAD:
Suggested for decorating your
home at Christmas are pine cone
strings. These are gaily painted in
red, green and yellow and when
hung at various places throughout
the house they give cheerful
effect. e.
inexpensive and unusual candles
make lovely table decorations for
your Christmas dinner. They are
made in the form of Santa Clauses
and carry out the traditional colors.
One may also obtain these in the
shape of bell trimmed with holly
leaves. :. :.
1t is smart to have personalized
matches. They come in all colors
and either your name or initials may
be printed on them in a contrasting
color. =.
Beautiful inlaid wooden boxes
containing writing paper would be a
lovely gift. Later the box could be
used for holding such things as
jewelry or other small items. -.
A metal rack made in the form of
tree and holding seven candles is
the mOderniStic idea of Christmas
tree. 1t is small enough to be
placed on your cocktail table and
when varl-colored candles are used,
it gives a pleasing effect. -.
A local store has a complete line
OF Indian mOccasins for the whole
family. They are beautifully made
and trimmed with fur and beads.
Chinese perfume containers that
are hand painted on the inside
would be lovely placed on a dressing
table These would also be priced
as a collectors item. -.
Speaking of collecting, if ele-
plants are your hobby be sure and
have one of the unusual wooden
ones in Cof all thingsD pink. -.
Shred or chop cabbage for salads
with new chopper. You can also
use this gadget for cutting potatoes
for French fries" cubing fruits
and steak and chipping chocolate.
1t has three sharp, stainless steel
blades with spring action and you
will find it easy to use. -.
There are two new grapefruit
corers on the market One simply
cores the fruit while the other not
only performs that job but also
loosens the segments from sur

If you find crisp bacon a little
difficult to transfer from a platter
to plate by just using a fork, try
the bacon server tongs. =.
On these cold mornings nothin.
is nicer to serve for breakfast than
Waffles and cakes. Have on hand
to go with this little brown jug
containing delicious honey or syrup.
The jug is made of baked clay and
can be used in various ways after
the honey is gone.
For the family that is particularly
fond of poached eggs there is a
handy poacher set. 1t consists of a
metal rack which holds four glass
cups with metal tops. 1t is very
easy to use, simply place an egg in
each cup and immerse the whole
thing in boiling water. The eggs are
then served in the same cups

out with him, but go out with other
boys, too. Make your attitude friend

Since you haven't been going

to do. And he's bound to get the
idea that your feelings toward him

and not too remote a chance-that
much the same thing has happened

Dear ColumniStS: I am a boy
of 10. My girl friend, of about
the same age, is coming to visit me
some time this month. Should
pay her fare from her home to
mine and back?
No. The rule is that a girl pays
her own transportation expenses
under such circumstances.
However, in cases where the boy
and girl are very close friends, and
the girl can't afford to pay her
own way, the rule is often broken.
Just remember that it's always best
to stick to convention unless you
have very good reason to justify
Ignoring 1t.

At Party
Correct to Tell
News at Parents
Anniversary Fete
BY EMILY POST.

Dear Mrs. Post: How would YOU
suggest announcing my engagement
at an anniversary celebration Of my
parents wedding? l don't want 10
detract from their day. but I thought
it would be a good time TO get my
news across TO our relatives and
friends.
AnsWer-I think it would add in
terest rather than detract from your
parents anniversary! II you and
your fiance stand beside them and
your mother announces to each Of
the guests-after receiving his (or
herr ratulatIons-that there is
TO be another wedding in the FAM
ily, can't imagine a more suitable
occasion for this announcement.
Dear Mrs. Post. Ny mother
father and sister are coming to
visit me I would like to give an
afternoon party TO have my friends
meet them. If I invite my friends
in the evening, I shall have 10 IN
vlte the men and this would make
too many for my house. So I'll
just have party in the afternoon
when the men are busy. But does
this mean that I have to omit my
father and just invite the women
to meet my mother and sister?
Answer: If your father is willing
10 be the one man alone among
dozen women. there is no reason
why he cannot stay at home with

time if he wants to, but 1t is more
than likely that he will stav only

home together, educate the children
and live peaceably I am better off
to let things stand as they are. What
do you think? Am l right TO stick
with him and let him go on as he
has been doing? Should 1 interfere
in his affairs? Or should l get

Answer think you are taking
by far the wiser course and the one
that will bring the greatest good and
happiness to all concerned in just
ignoring your husbands infidelities
and making the best of bad situ-
alton
1t takes lot of courage and
strength Of character and hard
horse sense for a wife to shut her
eyes to her husbands philandering
and carry on, but, SO times out Of
100, it pays, if he is pleasant and
kindly in the home and if he pro-
vldeS her with comfortable living.
True, if she loves him it Vrings
her heart with jealousy. True, he
tramples her pride in the dust. But
because she has lost some of the
good things of marriage, it is folly
TO throw everything out of the door.
The wife's first impulse when she
finds she has a rival is TO rush to
the divorce court. but a divorce is no
panacea for what ails her. There is
no magic in decree absolute that
takes the sting out of knowing that
she has been superseded by another.
or that makes her feel gay and
happy over having lost the man she
loves. or that turns her once more
into a Caretree girl. She is still
middle-aged, CareWOrn woman with
children. saddened and disillusioned,
and with nothing Of glamour left.
All her divorce has brought her is
not only the shatterlng of her house
Of dreams but the pulling down Of
the tangible house in which she
has lived Instead of the generous
support her husband gave her she
has the small alimony the court
allotted her.
Instead Of her pleasant circle Of
friends and high social position she
is divorce, without enough money
to gid the situation. Often her
Vaunted freedom means only the
freedom to look for a job and the
necessity Of working to support her
children.
Half 4 loaf is better than no
bread" says the old proverb. and
II wife cannot have all she wants
from her husband, she is sensible
to take what she can get.
Love and loyalty are. of course,
the two great things in marriage,
but when one has lost these things
there are still consolation prizes in
good home, good car, security
and the ability to give ones chill
dren the advantages that they de-
serve.

treaty ENDS
Water FIGHT
Border Country VIII Be Used
Only for Conservation,
Act DEGREES.

Controlling Of water levels in border
lakes from Crane lake to Rainy lake by
the International joint commission was
authorized this week when the senate
ratified treaty permitting such con-
troll. The treaty has already been rati-
fed by Canada.
At the present time because Of the
large amount Of water that has gone
through the Kettle Falls dam, Loon
river, an important water route into
Lac LaCroix and lakes east cannot be
navigated with anything but canoes,
it being impossible for loaded boats to
get through
In the spring water levels in Crane
lake are down from 10 to 13 feet, pre-
senting an unsightly si1oreline, as well
as leaving docks, boat houses, and sum-
mer homes high and dry until spring
rains bring it back up, often not be-
fore late summer.
Also affected by Kettle Falls are
Namakan, Kabetogama and many
smaller lakes The International Falls
dam controls the level of vast Rainy
lake.
1t is expected that the joint commits
sion viii set up a governing committee
which viii lay plans to control the
water as early as extreme rises or falls
can be anticipated.
The chief object IS to stabilize levels
in the lakes and adjacent marshes SC
that the natural fish spawning beds and
wild fowl breeding places may be re-
stored An incidental benefit is that
hundreds Of resort and cottage owners
viii IN the future know whether their
lake is at the front door or a block
away.
Ratification Of the treaty ends the
dream of the late e w. Backus and
the Minnesota & Ontario Power CO. for
a vast system of dams to produce power
The Shipstead-Nolan bill of 1881 made
construction Of additional dams a mat
ter for consent both OF congress and
the states affected, and the present
treaty action IS seen as definitely
sealing up the border country for con-
servation uses only
