 She realized when she thought of her own marriage, as compared with others, that there aren't any perfect husbands. And that in ev- cry happy marriage she knew about, the husband and wife had both changed each other some, and then decided not to let each others lit- tie faults cause friction.
 FIRST HELPS THE
 SECOND
 While she was taking good hon. est look at her marriage she saw some faults of her own, and re- membered that her husband had tried to change her, too. But she had been very certain that her con- duct as wife was fiawless and hadn't tried to change herself at all.
 So now that she has started on a second marriage, she Is prepared for finding that her husband has his faults. And she knows good and well she has a few, too. But sine isn't going to make an issue out of her husbands or let 6 few disiilu- sionments convince her that this marriage is no good.
 She knows that it has a chance of being a good marriage and that whether it is or not is largely up tc

ANoxrA AND ANHEDoNTA

fAANONAsA SAANAS sbANAhASOSANeS1
 The drawback about this news paper doctoring Is that you can't take of from the place where you arrived yesterday or last week. You have to explain things bit before you can continue the course. Anoxla means deficient oxygenation of the cells in organs and tissues. Anhedonia is incapacity for happi- ness, inability to enjoy life. I'be- ilieYe there is relation between anoxia and anhedonia.
 It is a well recognized fact that exercise is an antidote for brain flag" or nervous fatigue" Exercise increases the absorption of oxygen. When you're weary and worn from prolonged concentration on study or so-called brain work" nothing is more refreshing than brisk two miles of oxygen on the hoof or a run around the block if you can't take time for two mile walk, or any equivalent exercise.
 A mistake a great many persons make Is in studying or doing mem tai work that requires close con- centration--say a bout with your income tax blank-far into the night and then going to bed all tuckered out, to sleep poorly If at all. Regardless of the weather or the environment, one should never fail to go out for run or @ hike, or to have work -out at some other exercise, after such prolonged mem tai application, before turning in.
 Tn their work on Respiration" Haldane and Pristley suggest that a moderate anoxia accounts for the complaint often attributed to imag- ination in the "neurasthenic," a complaint that they cannot get air enough. Perhaps that is true, due to their long followed habit of chest breathing and the consequent functional weakness of the dia- phragm. They should do the Belly Breathing exercise regularly at least three times a day. It is described in How to Breathe" two-shilling booklet on anoxia, snoring, mouth breathing, foul breath, angina pec- toris, artificial respiration, etc. In- close with the two shillings c stamped envelope bearing your address.

 Not only 8 deficiency of vitanlin Bl may account for symptoms which Jolliffe and his associates call the "neurasthenia" group oi symptoms, but the shortage of cal- cium in the diet of Americans who do not consume enough milk cheese and fresh vegetables and greens or get enough vitamin D to insure assimilation and utilization of the calcium in food, probably ac- counts for a good deal of over- excitability and irritability. One oi the functions of calcium in meta. holism is to prevent neuro- muscular irritability or, as a layman might express 1t, steady the nerves. Contrary to popular fancy, calcium and phosphorus (they're like Ike and Mike in human nutrition) are as important for sound nerves a: they are for sound bones or teeth QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

COADESIGNER WAS FIRST A PHYSICIST

The Museum of Modern Art end Q department store call this and other prize- winning furniture Organic" and they're pretty proud of all of 1t. (MrS. Hatfield rejects organic" too, because, she says, 1t doesn't tell nuch).
 Ideas submitted in the contest ranged from plans for dining room to plans for outdoor living. Thir- teen first.prize designs were chos- en, and the store had them manu- factured. It's about the first time a museum and a group of merchants have cooperated to bring together the independent artist, who thinks he knows both what the customer wants to do with something, and how 1t ought to look, and the manu- facturer who produces that Some- thing in quantity.
 Mrs. Hatfield said the mechanical parts of the one-roon furniture came from her colleague, Craig. He was a physicist before he started designing. The two designers would sit and talk about one-room living and Craig would suggest something. Mrs. Hatfield would say, That's pretty, but why can't we have an- other drawer7" And they would both sketch. So they evolved their design. There was lot more de- signing to 1t for her, she said, than she expected when she set to work.

 Your new fall> shoes may cover LID more of your toes than last years did, but your social-graces score still depends upon how well you take care of your feet.
 For one thing, people are more conscious of feet nowadays. Foot" consciousness has been growing since the first Paris mannequin stepped out in barefoot sandals. And san, dals, by the way, are still important evening slippers.
 Feet should be as beautiful as hands. Children's usually are. The average adult foot, however, Is noth. ing to show of in public, ct least not until you've groomed 1t Q little.
 First of all, feet need a careful soaping and daily Scrubbing. You can be a daily bath adidct and still neglect your feet. Use a brush on them, soap them, wash them from the ankles down and up and up and down.
 Clean stockings daily are essen' tial. And stockings should be long enough in the foot to prevent any pull whatsoeyer-b they shouldnt double under at the heel either. Oi course, wei. fitting shoes which pro- vide good balance are imperative. A CALLOUS IS A WARNING
 Give your feet air and sunshine Pad around barefooted in your own room before going to bed and before dressing. Wear barefoot sandal about the house, and don't confins your feet, ever, under too heavy shoes or comforters.
 The foot Is a group of bones which fit together delicately-though per. fectly. When you think of 8 fool this way, you begin to wonder at the average foot's capacity to "take It." They stand an incredible amount of pounding against hard pavement-something very different from the soft earth, which is what nature developed them for walking on.
 Yet fallen arches are less conn mon today than they used to be When they come, though, they re- ouire expert and costly attention A bad callous on your foot may bs a signal that the arch is beginning to fall-and that's the time to catch 1t.
 For falling arches, at the outset may be coaxed back into place. Just remove the strain on them by turn. ing your foot over slightly. A heavier sole on the weighted side may. help to ward oil 8 chronic con- dition.

 New York-when Ann IIatfields .one-room furniture won Q big prize museum pieces for common use," the young designer said, "There must be Q word to describe this kind of furniture-what is it2 Please don't say modern"
 That's paradoxical. Among the competitions judges were leading authorities on modern art, and they were looking for things typical of living in America today and, r1ay- be, tomorrow.
 But then, Ann Hatfield is full of surprises.
 She never studied designing. She just started doing 1t after she came out of Mount Holyoke college with Q thorough book-knowledge of the history of art.
 And she, who with another de- signer, Martin Craig, bested e thous- and rival entries in building this furniture for e o1le-rooKn home, is not even an apartment dweller. She lives with her husband, Q lawyer, and their son, Q boy of five, in seven rooms filling three-Quarters of a house. The house is a spacious Greenwich Village reminder of the pre-space-saving era that seems as definitely long-ago as could be in modern New York.
 Mrs. Hatfield is Q slight, blonde, tweedy person of quick moods. SEES LITTLE REALLY
 NEW" IN ANY STYLE
 ''r dislike calling the furniture modern because the word makes too many people think of something hSphenated," she said rather stern- ly, Last year we had Swedish -mod- ern. The year before, perhaps Bau- haug-modern. And in five years anybody looking at some of the spe- cimens would remark, 'Ah, nineteen thirty -umpth modern
 On the other hand, Mrs. Hatfield is frankly amused at the idea many self proclaimed originators insist upon: that they're influenced by no period and nobody before them. There's very little that's modern and functional and absolutely

e. How long have women in the United tSates been wearing silk stockings?
 A. At the beginning of this cen- tury approximately one woman out of 2,O00 wore silk stockings. In 1898 the American output of silk stock ingS was l2,572 pairs. Even in 1909 when dresses began to get shorter the silk stocking industry turned out only 434.O00 dozen pair, moi enough for 2 per cent of the women if each pair lasted 6 month. By 1914, however, when slit and hob- bled skirts came into vogue, the
