files contain the complete address
of any person serving in our armed
forces, we will be more than glad
to furnish more detailed informa-
ton to anyone who is not question
able. Therefore, if you will but
keep the editor informed of any
new address which your brother
may have, you may be assured
that at all times we will see it is
handled correctly-both from the
national security angle and the
helpfulness to Service folk in re-
ceiving the greatest number of let
ters possible while they are out
there pitching for all of us back
home.
If for any reason, Dribbles has
not made himself clear on this
point, I invite any further sugges-
tion you may offer. Meanwhile, 1
would like you to feel that the only
motive of this column is to serve,
and we certainly do appreciate
your most friendly cooperation to
this end.
1 just pulled Louis card from
the file and 1 find that his name
was first entered in our Honor Roll
under the date of June 18th, 1912.
This was about the third publica-
tion of Dribbles. Since that time,
Louis has sort of kept in touch
with us up to, and including, his
date of departure from the States.
One thing that does not often oc-
cur in the life of the average SER
vice man is he has continued on in
the same Company, the same In
fantry Regiment ever since we
have had his record. When Louis
first wrote in, he was stationed at
Camp Shelby, Mississippi. Please
give your brother Dribbles' best
wishes and tell him we think it's
about time that we were hearing
something from his direction.

DRIBBLES
CONTINUED from Page TwoJ

of February 18th in this column.
This omission was due entirely to
Office of War Information rulings
in other words, news censorship.
This prohibits any newspaper or
periodical from listing information
that might be considered of value
to our enemies. The printing of
any specific Company, Regiment,
Battalion, etc., along with a sold
ier's address, is considered valuable
information because it could allow
our enemies to know more readily
the manner in which our armed
forces are dispersed over a known
area.
The same would hold true with
naming ships for U. S. Navy per-
sonnel. However, in your broth
er's case, the address published in
this column would contain enough
information for any letter address
ed in that manner to reach him
without undue delay. Were he in
the U. S. Navy, this would not be
true in most cases. In the u. S.
Navy, most men are assigned to
ships, and it would be impossible
to publish the name of the ship to
which a particular letter were sent.
This condition is quite general
throughout this entire country, and
our little column is in no way an
exception. Despite these facts, the
editor hopes to continue to help
Our Boys and Girls in Service find
each other wherever it is possible.

who never degenerates into being a
mere husband.
But, alas, the dream doesn't come
true, and by the time the bride has
combed the rice out of her hair and
unpacked her wedding presents and
hung the kitchen curtains she be-
gins to discover that human nature
and human behavior are pretty
much of a pattern that repeats itself
endlessly, and that her case isn't
going to be any exception to the
mill run of marriages. 1t is going
to be just about like her mama S
and paps.
This is what we call the disillu-
sion of marriage. Many girl can't
take it, and that is why the divorce
ratio is so high among the yoatng.
Because marriage isn't the exciting
adventure they expect it to be; be
cause their husbands are tired b,tsi-
nessmen instead of great lovers,
they chuck it into the discard.
This is particularly the case with
women who are married to well~to-
do men and who, having NOTHING
else to do, begin to search for the
crumpled rose leaf under their 40
mattresses of ease and find their
grievance is the monotony of mar
riage. It is just routine, with no
more kick to it than a glass of rnilk,
and they had expected to spend the
balance of their lives drinking cock
tails.
ssThese women who find marriage a
failure because they no longer thrill
at their husbands kisses or palpitate
at the sound of their footsteps,
forget two important facts, one of
which is that there is no way in
which we can possibly escape mo-
notony. We have to keep grinding
at the same old mill wherever we
are, whatever we do. And the other
Is that we are all the slaves of habit,
and we are happiest when we follow
our old familiar routine.
And this is just as true of mar
riage as it is of life in general. No
marriage is really a success until
the husband and wife have gotten to
the place where they take each other
for granted, and have learned how
to sidestep the angles of each others
dispositions and to keep off of the
subjects that started arguments.

powders. Long popular for It's sweet
scent, soft texture and stay-put
qualities, 1t comes in six fiattering
choice so you're
sure to find the one that will help
you make a pretty face for spring.
For the next few weeks, there's 4,
half price sign over this powder
and that's our idea of a good buy
on beauty.
They say that complexion Is no
fairer than its foundation, so nat
urally it's most important that you
underline your powder with the base
that is just right for your skin.
Whether you like cream, liquid or
cake is largely matter Of personal
preference. There's a cream base
that comes in three shades to blend
with various skin tones. It's a softly
tinted foundation cream that forms
a satiny base for your makeup.
One photographer claims that this
base imparts to the skin q luscious,
youthful sheen rather than q dull,
chalky look in the finished photo
graph-and you know the camera
never lies. Newest In the old skin
game Is a liquid "cake" makeup
that does a presto change on your
complexion. A creamy liquid with q
pleasant fragrance, q tiny bit
smoothes on easily, leaving the skin
dewy-soft and 1ower-fresh. What 1t
does is give you new face in the
manner of cake make-ups; at the
same time 1t doesn't seem to be az
drying as some of the others.
Color plays an important part In
our lives, and in our looks. Very
few gals can actually get away
without wearing rouge because q
touch of color on your cheeks not
only gives your cheeks a pref
ty glow, but spotlights the spar.
kle in your eyes. Pink Ice is the
delectable name Of one dry rouge
whose rich, fuchsia-rosy tones are
unbelievably f1attering to almost
any coloring, whether blond. bru-
nette or the rich redhead (rich in

plastic case that's fat enough for
your handbag, feminine enough for

PREWAR DELIGHT-You1l be
interested to know of a prewar ar
ticle that can be found today! It
Is real rubber sponge attached to
a metal container in which you
place your favorite cleaning fluid:
While using, you push a lever which
Is attached to the side In a con-
venient spot and this releases
small amount of the fluid into the
sponge. Using the container as a
handle, simply brush the sponge
over walls or floors. Can be used to
clean almost anything. You will
certainly find this time and energy
saver while performing those spring
housecleaning chores. This will not
do for benZine cleaners, which dis

Dorothy Dix Says

A young woman who has been
married two years complains that
her marriage is settling down into
being just as dull and pepless as
her parents, and that her husband
is acting Just like her father does.
And she says she never expected
that.
Nor does any other starry eyed
bride. Every blessed last one OF
them believes that her marriage is
going to be different from the fiat
drab marriages she sees all about
her. She thinks hers is always go
ing to be full Of romance and thrills
and excitement, and she sees her
self walking from the altar to her
golden wedding day in white satin
and orange blossoms, with a man
