HERE'S SOME ADVICE
FOR YOUNG BRIDES

THE young bride who pads her
i idle brain with the thought, 81
don't care how / look, I'm mar
ried," is in for fall. 1t may not
come for months, but one day her
husband is going TO awaken to the
fact that this woman sitting oppo-
site him Is not the same girl he fell
in love with. Before their marriage
her hair was always combed and it
shone lustrously; her nose was never
streaked with dust, and her face had
q soft loneliness to it. And now
This question of personal appear
ance and its Importance to lasting
marriage, was the subject discussed
at the third meeting Of the Good
Housekeeping Brides School, reports
Helen Welshimer in the February
issue. To keep monotony out of mar
riage, the girls were warned, '1et
your husband look at you with q
fresh eye now and then. What he
really wants in his heart is for you
to continue to be the leading lady of
his life. And it is up to you to play
your role beautifully"
In other words, the girls were told,
as the old saying has it, mot to let
themselves go". In the morning,
send your husband away with the
bouncing, joyous feeling that he'd
rather work for you than for any
other woman in the world. All that
you need do is to look fresh and
clean, awake and cheerful. This
doesn't mean any elaborate hair
comb or any unnecessary makeup.
just look neat and alive.
And before he comes home in the
evening, take time to spruce up. He's
vain enough to want you to look
even prettier than when he left you
IN the morning. Walking into the
house after business is really his big
moment of the day. Don't let him
down by looking untidy. He'll grin
and bear it; but for how long? And
see how his kisses fall off if you
continue to look untidy.
Some men can't stand the sight
of cream on a face, even if it's q
lovely face. If your husband is that
kind, use the cream during the day
when he isn't around. And the same
holds true for curriers', or any beauty
method distasteful to q man. After
all, the vow was, "till death do us
part" It's p lovely vow. Why en-
danger it7

vertised in your newspaper today
and you will see that, although much
talk is banded back and forth con-
corning the increased cost of living,
the fact is that the cost has gone
downward consistently since from
tier times.
One of the reasons for high prices
then was undoubtedly the difficulty
with which the supply was obtained
the hazards and expense of trans
porting goods.
But the chief reason was that the
cost of these necessaries could not
be spread out over enough custom
ers to bring them at lower cost to
all. The merchant had to pay the
cost of his business out Of sales to

upon the twelfth point of the Scout
Law which reads, "A Scout is Rev

In many communities Scouts, by

to pre-arranged plans, to record the
names and addresses of those who
were once Scouts or Scout leaders.
Many of these Scout Alumni will

their guest speakers who will give

Packs will have special parent"
night" meetings in which the par
ents will be participants in some Of
the activities. Other Troops will
have their meeting during Boy

turning to renew acquaintances
and for an evening of fellowship
and fun.
The outdoor activities will also
have their part in the celebration
where weather conditions permit.
There will be camping trips, hikes
and outdoor rallies, and there will
be inter-Troop winter sports car
nivals where snow and ice condi-
tions allow.
In those states where Lincoln's
Birthday, February IL is observed
as a school holiday Scouts will
make patriotic pilgrimages to
shrines of the Great Emanci-
