Dear Dorothy Dix: I am engaged
to young soldier who is now serv-
ing overseas. Recently he has been
wounded and is being sent home for
treatment. When he comes back he
wants to get married. I should be
happy to do so. except that my
friends discourage me. They say
that We would never be happy to-
gether because we are so different in
temperament.
am happy-go-lucky. I like to
sing and dance and am always talk
ing This boy is very quiet and
would rather listen to me talk than
to talk himself. He has very fine
character and has a high-paying
job waiting for him when he returns
home. AS we love each other very
much I am sure we could make this
marriage last.
Do you think we should take the
risk when we are so different? KAY
Answers-Inasmuch as you are
marrying the lad and your friends
aren't, it is UP to you to make the
decision. So listen to your own
heart instead of what they say. OF

Keep warm, moderately moist and

Keep out of hot sun. During sum-

CHILD'S PARTY;
SOAP SUGGESTION.
From Mrs. w. II. o., Ariinoton.)
In reply to Mrs. p. B. about a
party for a 2-year-old, let me say
that 2-year-olds get the most en-
ioyment from just being around
other children and usually play in
dividually with an assortment of
toys. The older ones, however, could
play such games as London Bridge, .
Ring Around the Rosie" Follow
the Leader" and very simple races
such as carrying peanuts in a spoon.
A party from about 3 to will prob
ably be long enough, with about
half of that taken up with "eating
the party" Crepe paper streamers
coming down from a dining room
chandelier to each place make at
tractive decoration. Large vari-
colored horns at each place also add
to the occasion, the noise, especially,
seems to be absolutely necessary.
Don't expect things to go off like
clockwork. A great deal of confus-
ion, shouting and spilled food will
mean they are having wonderful
time.
I just happened upon the follow
ing laundry hint for these days Of
soap powder shortage. Let a cake
of soap agitate with clothes In the
water. Take out when you have
enough suds.
Naturally, a party for guests be-
tween the ages Of 2 and 6 will pre-
sent entertainment problems. May
I suggest games, such as Drop the
Handkerchief" Ring Around the
Rosie" and PIN the Tall on the
Donkey"
A surprise pie" is always fun. In
expensive gifts from the l0-cent
store have a ribbon tied to them and
the other end extended to each
guests place at the table. Some
times called Jack Horner Pie" or
Grab Pie" Gifts may be In large
decorated dishpan or similar con-
tainer or may be arranged In center
of table and covered over TO look
like a pie"

countered this autumn has brought
this country very near to moral
default on a solemn commitment.
U. N. R. r. A. was created on the
initiative of the United States,
and in March, 1914, the House by
vote Of 338-54 and the Senate
by 47-14 passed Public Law 267
offering, without conditions, to
give U. N. R. R. A. an amount
equal to / per cent Of our national
income in 1913. All the other
United Nations, whose territory
had not been devastated by the
war, made the same pledge Of !
per cent of their 1913 national
income. Great Britain has full
filled her pledge; we have not.
The necessary authorizations and
appropriations have been stalled
in Congress on the alleged ground
that the destitute must starve, the
sick 20 without medicines, unless
our correspondents can be present.
The delay is scandal and a
dishonor. Already, for lack OF
funds Congress had promised it,
U. N. r. r. A. has had to cancel
orders for medi tines, clothing,
shoes, seeds, plows, and material
to provide emergency shelters.
That is cruel punishment to in
flict upon suffering humanity in
the name Of the freedom Of the
press. 1t has been dishonorable
thing to do in the name Of gov
eminent which has justly prided
itself that when it makes a pledge,
it does not squirm out OF it.
OF all the people in this coun-
try, newspaper men have the
strongest reason for repudiating
and resenting this demagoguery
about the freedom OF the press.
Senator Wherry and his associ-
ates need have no fear that Amer
lean journalists and editors who
use the freedom Of the press, who
have defended it long before he
ever took an interest in the press,
who promote it wherever and
whenever they can, have ceased to
care about this most fundamental
of all civil rights. If the best Of
our editors and correspondents do
not want to have helpless and des-
itute people suffer and die in
order that they may get access to
the rigidly censored countries, it is
not because they need and instruc-
ton from Senator Wherry about
the Importance of freedom Of the
press. 1t is because they do not
think it wise or decent to submerge
the principles Of liberty, which are
meant to give life and hope to
mankind. in a morass of misery
and disease and death.

Through Air Service

In one week to the day National Air Lines
says it will inaugurate air service at Whining
ton on it's north-south route between New York
and Miami. At the start there will be one
trip in each direction daily, with more trips
in prospect both as public demand increases
and air liners are added to the company S
fleet. Bluethenthal Army Air base will be the
point of arrival and departure.
Thus, barring unforeseen circumstances,
Wilmington at last is to have through air serv'
ice, after years of effort. Stops along the
route will enable passengers to connect with
other lines extending to all sections OF the
country.
air mail and express. Not the least item OF
Nationals service will be developed in the
transport of perishable fruits and vegetables
and frozen foods. The business community,
especially the banks, will welcome the line
because of the speed with which money and
credit transactions may be conducted through
New York.
The flying time OF slightly more than three
and one-half hours between Wilmington and
New York will be in sharp contrast with rail
mail service. This is so important that in
past years, when it was impossible to secure
air service, it was hoped that Wilmington
might be made mail pickup point by which
planes would use a grab-line for mail sacks
and drop local mail without stopping. How
much better the delivery and receipt of mail
at plane-side is easily seen.
With the National to start service SO soon
Wilmington will be in an advantageous posi-
ton because Of the additional operations Of
the Southeastern Air Service which sends its
planes over a belt-line route in North Caro-
lima with stops at all important cities.

postwar era are capable Of doing as much

THE SHELLEY LEGEND, by
Robert Metcalf Smith, in col
liberation with Martha M.
Schlegel, Theodore George
Ehrsam and Louis Addison
Waters (Scribner's; So.
The miracle Of the Victorian
Age is its effectiveness. It made
people practise what it preached.
It took the past and cleaned it up
before passing it on to our less
squeamish present; it took sinful
scarlet and bleached it to lily
white.
Percy Bysshe Shelley is an ad-
mirable, and unhappy, case in
point. author of such ethereal SUBJ
limations as ITO a Skylark' and
lode to the West Wind" he led
| a life which needed to be subli-
mated If 1t was to be recounted
at all.
In addition to his sincerely pro-
fessed atheism, he believed in free
love, and he enjoyed a notorious
success in arguing men into ac-
cepting his views, and persuading
women to. He was married twice,
to Harriet and Mary, but made
love to, and begot children by,
other women; h adolescent in
him was only too eager to act on
his adult opinions.
An English court formally
stamped as illigitimate child or
two Of Mary Godwin's, and even
the Victorian Age couldn't blink
that. But after the poets death,
Mary set about embarrassing him
and herself. She got the aid OF
the Godwins, her son Sir Percy
and Percy's wife, Lady Shelley;
she benefited fortuitously, also, by
the work Of a forger, Major By
ron, from Wilkes Barre, Pa .
he was busy at midcentury, but
there was a new flood Of Shelley
forgerles in the 1920s.
Mary needed embarrassing as
badly as Shelley, for she INDUCED
in free love on the model set by
her illustrious husband, as her let
tiers to Hogg, printed in this ad-
mirable book, show. The scarlet
scrubbed off her was poured over
poor Harriet, to whom it has stuck
despite the fervid protests Of Mat
new Arnold, Mark Twain and
others.
This volume, though it will hurt
some peoples feelings, is an ex-
cellent e x m pie Of aggressive
scholarship. A new life of Shelley
is now in order. 1t can't be done,
say the authors, until some docu-
ments now withheld are made
public; it certainly couldn't have
been done satisfactorily without
this work by Smith and his col
leagues.

The lack of and need for more efficient
