| Why
|Grow Old?
By JOsebhine L0wman

We all know that Lots wife turned
to salt when she looked back and
we have all known women who
turned to pepper when they gazed
continually and longingly at things
as they used to be!
Much of life's richness comes
from the boarded, lovely experiences
Of the past and we not only value
them, but We ourselves are the sum
total of these past experiences and
our reactions to them.
Nevertheless, when the past be-
comes so fascinating that a woman
must spend her time contemplating
it-when she insists on interpreting
today only in terms of yesterday,
then we can be certain that today
is extremely boring to her. How can
she be conscious of the charm. ex-
citement and opportunity of today
when her eyes are turned back
toward the past.
Some psychologists believe that
one reason persons cling to yester-
day is because they never lived
yesterday fully. They feel frus-
trated with lost opportunity. Had
they drained yesterday of happiness
by living it fully they would still
have it with them. They could
never lose it.
Many persons go through happy
periods without ever realizing it
until it is too late Don't do that
with today. We fret and stew over
nonessentials and miss the beauty
or humor of the moment.
Youth lives intensely today. Only
age hovers about yesterday. Let
us live today with such energy and
imagination that thoughts of yes
terday will bring us only that feel
ing of peace and deep happiness
which "hved-with" things bring, and
tomorrow will break on the horizon
of our consciousness with all the
snlendor of a sunrise at sea.

Sandwiches Good
For Children's
Outings
Youngsters Favor
Peanut Butter,
Jelly or Jam
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

Nothing gives the children such
a thrill as to be able to eat lunch
or supper outdoors, whether it is
the beach, the woods, the park, the
porch or even the apartment house
roof.
Mothers are being called upon to
pack lunches just now at short no
tice. For these, sandwiches, Of
course, are the answer to the ques-
ton. AS children are more con-
cerned with satisfying hunger than
with anything else, daintiness may
be forgotten. Ready SLICED bread
may be used, or you may like sliced
finger rolls for change. Butter
should be softened before any at
tempt is made to spread it on the
bread. 1t pays to take a moment
to rub the butter with a wooden
spoon or heavy knife.
1t is well to have materials for
filings on hand Most children
prefer peanut butter. This may be
moistened with alittle milk if neces-
sary, or it can be mixed with any
chopped meats which you have on
hand. Jelly or jam sandwiches are
next in order of popularity. Cot
tage or cream chees or a cheese
spread of higher flavor mixed with
minced raw vegetables provides a
good filling. After the sandwiches
are made they should be cut in
halves or thirds and wrapped in
waxed paper. Plain hard-cooked
eggs are generally associated with
picnics. The yolks may be deviled
and replaced in the halves, which
are put together before wrapping in
waxed paper.
For dessert there is nothing like
cookies, in the opinion of the chill
dren. 1t is always good thing to
have the jar filled with soft mo-
lasses or some sort of spice cookies,
which will keep so well if the chill
dren allow them to be stored any
length of time.

Take Good Care
Of Household
Furnishings
Difficult TO Get
ReblacementS
In Warfime
BY Emily Post

Now that we must all take spe-
cial care of our possessions because
we may not be able to get replace
ments, it is we'll for a bride or other
new house owner to consider the
question of furnishings from this
angle. To a bride who says she
loves light paint and fresh, gay
chintzes, but supposes she ought to
choose dark woods and fabrics be-
cause light things are too perish
able, I can say: In simple type
of house in which the paint is put
on as it comes in the can, keeping
it freshly touched up is very easy.
AS is also the cleaning Cor wash
ing) of chintz slip covers. More
over, I have often noted that people
instinctively avoid giving ight-col-
ored objects as hard usage as that
given to things that look less spoil
able.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it out of order
for a second wife to go with her
husband to the funeral of her hus-
bands son? This would necessitate
seeing his first wife and also her
relatives, who naturally must resent
the second wife even though she
had nothing whatever to do with
the rift between the husband and
his first wife. But unless her pres
ence is an impropriety, she is will
ing to risk any GOODNESS they may
show her, to go with her husband on
this very sad mission.
Answer - Reading between the
lines, as it were, of this letter,
think it would be better if another
member of his family went with
him. His sister, for example, if he
has one, or his most intimate man
friend. Otherwise I think it would
be very hard, indeed, for the mother
of the boy. If I were you I would
wait in a car Cor elsewhere) nearby.
so that I could join my husband
just as soon as he leaves the ceme-
terry. In other words, think it
would be cruel to stand anywhere
near the boys mother.
Dear Mrs. Post: How many visit
ing cards should I leave at a tea
given for three guests-two are
daughters of the hostess and one a
daughter-in-law. know all of
them except the daughter-in-law,
in case that makes difference in
your answer.
Answer - Correctly, you leave
three cards-one for the hostess.
one for the two daughters and one
for the daughter -in-law.

mended that all State-owned liquor
stores be closed and that SD

He said in his report:
"The policy under which SID
permits are issued presents the

1T il well known ny all who
have knowledge Of the situation
that these permits have been
given on the very unfair basis
Of political influence.
"Some permits have been pur-
chased nv those who have politi-
cal connections: others have
been obtained by political fxers,
by pressure groups and by uI-
terror characters, and there has
been no ceiling on the price paid
for them. The entire policy Of

1T is indeed a foul practice.
"Michigan must acknowledge
the decision by the public that
IL wants the convenience Of
corner store where liquor In
available In bottles. The state
store system has withered."
The former chairman mentioned
that saloons have been demanding
the right 10 sell whisky by the
bottle. While taking no stand on
this controversy in his report,
DeMass pointed out that intoxi-
Gated persons would be tempted
10 take bottle home when leav-
ing a saloon.
10 PER CENT TOO HIGH
He said that inasmuch as drug.
gists sold whisky. worth S39.312,-
600 last fiscal year. while state
store sales dropped to $500 900.
the 10 per cent allowed SDDs is
too high.
He suggested cutting this TO 5
per cent and charging an annual
license fee ranging from 500 to
81 200 depending upon gross sales.
DeMaSS also recommended a
warehouse bailment system. such
as is used in Ohio. Under this
arrangement all distillers may
ship a reasonable quantity Of their
product 10 the state, making il
accessible To the retail outlets.
Instead Of the state paying stor.
age. however, this charge would
be paid by the distilleries. He
pointed out that favoritism in buy.
ing would then be impossible.
HITS SALE TO MINORS
Discussing saloons. DeMass told
Governor-elect Kelly that the
greatest evil is the sale To minors,
He said the solution is 70 make
minors equally guilty under the
law with the bartenders who serve
them.
DeMasS also recommended that
bottle sales be prohibited after
9 p. m.
at would seem that the State
Of Michigan. making more than
