CHILDREN MAKE THE HOME

CHILDREN MAKE THE HOME
 I have been married for nearly three years, writes a reader, have practiced birth control from the be- gining of married life, and I do not see how it has done harm in any way. Why will I 'be sorry" I married with the idea of not hav- ing children? What is the "Sad truth" about 8 childless marriage2 Why is such a marriage "deplor- able mistake" What punishment will meet? Please believe am not writing in a spirit of il1tolerant criticism. If my husband and have done wrong in deciding not to have children I want to know why, for the sake of our future happiness.
 (Mrs. J. E. H0
 haven't a copy of my monograph on hand, but If Mrs. H. quotes me verbatim it sounds pretty stern, doesn't it? I wrote 1t years ago, be- fore the prevention of conception had been admitted to responsibility under the deceptive name of birth control"
 An Intentionally childless mar riage is a crime against the couple themselves primarily and against their country or the race second arily.
 Until man has looked upon his wife with his child in her arms he scarcely knows what love means.
 A married couple, young or old hard up or in easy circumstances without a child to cherish-child od their own or adopted-miss the greatest joy of life. After all, 6 dwelling, grand or humble, becomes a home only when children come to live in 1t.
 Physicians generally do not re- gard a marriage as barren until al least three years have passed with out iSsue-we are speaking now o1 normal people. In such cases, al though the wife may be assumed tt be the sterile partner, proper exam ination proves that the husband i the sterile partner in about hal the cases.
 An impression based on expert ence is the reason why would ad' wise young married people to be- gin raising families while it may b. possible, for in too many instance the couple who deliberately postpone having children, for one reason O another, discover to their sorrow that when they finally find time means or disposition to welcome little stranger the little strange never arrives. I do not know tn, pathology of such barrenness O whether anticonceptive practice cause 1t or whether such couple would be childless in any circum stance. Be that as it may a goo many young married couples who's chief concern in the first years c marriage is to avoid being "tie down." eventually drift into dreary, lonely, miserable. selfisl childlesSness- unless they have tn grace and the wisdom to adop children before they become too ol to serve as foster parents. Fortu nately, however, sterility is not al ways absolute. In fact gynecologist Specialists in diseases of women and urologists today restore fer tility in a good many cases whe the childless couple seek medics advice and treatment. It is well t remember that any condition whic impairs health or vite may impai fertility; one familiar instance nutritional anemia in man c woman; another is acquired obesit or accumulation of superfiuou flesh after marriage.

 ON BRIDGE
BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY Americas Card Authority

The worlds No. 1 woman bridge player, Mrs. R. c. (Sally) Young of Bywood', ra.-lived up to her reputation in the recent national championships. While she and her teammates lost the womans team of-four title which they won in Pittsburg in 1889. Mrs. Young did win the mixed pair championship with Sidney Silodor of Oakmant. Pa.
 Today's hand gives an example of why Mrs. Young is an outstand- ing player. Her method of finding the ninth trick disclosed the tech- nique of the real expert.

MODESTY STANDARDS STILL ARE CHANGING

Then when girls really learned how to play sports-and not just play at them-sports clothes be- came briefer and briefer. Each time that women discarded some of their clothing, or reduced the essential pieces in weight and bulk we changed our standards of modesty.
 So. if a brief little undie, heated by electricity, will keep humans warm and comfortable even in Sub- zero weather-aren't chances good that electric undies will appear in public as outer garments? In way 1t is too bad that New York'S big style show, Fashion Fu-

DON'T COVER
 STALE POWDER

By all means use a makeup film to keep powder in place. Rouge your cheeks lightly. If you have to use handkerchief constantly, apply indelible lipstick and apply it ever so sparingly. Forget about mascara or other eye makeup.
 Whatever you do, don't put lay CTS of fresh powder on over stale during the day. You can't possibly look your best when you have a cold, but you certainly can look neat and clean. Removing old makeup and putting on new foundation and powder frequently will help to maintain spic and span appear ance.

GIOring Yourself

(NEA Service Stan Writer

(NEA Service Stan Writer)
 The very best thing to do when you have a cold is to take the doc tors advice and stay in bed until you get rid of it.
 If this isn't possible, however, the next thing you can do is to figure out way to make yourself reason ably presentable before you let any one outside the family see you. It's enough of an imposition to subject others to your coughing and sneez- ing without subjecting them to red-eyed, Shiny-nosed, swollen tipped appearance also.
 PRESERVING HAIR
 WITHOUT WASHING Thanks to a new dry shampoo init, it's simple matter to freshen up your hair, even though washing it is against the doctors rules. Simply sprinkle the toWeling mitt with the special dry cleaning pow der that's packed with it, rub the powder into the mitt, put mitt on your hand. Now grasp 8 lock of hair close to the scalp with your gloved hand and rub briskly, work ing out to the ends of the hair. Re- peat until every hair has been pulled through the powdered mitt from scalp to tip.
 Take of the mitt, shake it to remove the powder, turn it inside out and put it on again. With the clean surface, go over each lock of hair to remove every trace of powder. Finish with 8 thorough brushing.
 With your hair clean and free from oil-if not beautifully set you can turn your attention to your slightly swollen face.
 First, rinse your eyes with soothing lotion, then put hot pads on them for a few seconds. Your natural inclination will be to use ice cold pads. But don't. Warm ones will decrease the swollen areas. l Cold ones won't,

ELECTRIC LINGERIE MADE FROM MINK?

It sounds like a really elegant idea, though there are a few women who may not appreciate its advan- tages. The too-fat and the too skinny won't welcome it. Or will they? They haven't stayed away from the bathing beaches.
 Probably the only women who are cinches to turn thumbs down on the idea are the women who own mink coats. But maybe the electric lingerie makers can turn out few sets in mink and over come even that sales resistance.
 It is something to think about, ladies-especially when you're sit- ting in draft.
