Although every step of the road
to the altar is posted with red light
danger signs and cluttered with the
skeletons of dead loves and broken
dreams, marriage is about the only
act that sane men and women COM
NIT in defiance of every warning.
Among all the vagaries of human
nature nothing is so inexplicable as
this. For there is no other one thing
that man and woman do during
their whole lifetime that so abso-
lutely determines their fate as mar
riage does and about which they
should be so cautious, and there is
nothing else about which they are
so reckless.
If only fools and the feeble-mind-
ed did this, it would be under
standable, but every day we see
people who are capable of compre-
hending the nature and quality of
their acts, as the law puts it, who
deliberately make marriages that it
doesn't take any prophet to foretell
are bound to bring misery upon
them
If these disastrous marriages were
entered into through ignorance, or
chicanery, or coercion, or if the man
and woman were the victims of some
deep, dark plot by which they were
inveigled into making a marriage
that would wreck their lives, there
might be some excuse for their max
ing the fatal blunder But they
know perfectly we'll the risks they
are taking and yet they take them
Nothing is more tragic than the
scores of letters that come to thi:
column every day from boys ane
girls who tell of suicidal marriages
they are about to make. Girls will
write that they are about to MARI.

blers, or lazy loafers whom the.

are going to marry tightwads. or
brutes who beat them even before
marriage.
Or BOYS will write that they are
going to marry girls who are nag
gers, or viragoes, or gold-diggers
who will keep their noses to the
grindstone and who have not one
characteristic that will qualify them
for being good wives.
The boys and girls who write these
letters are not being befooled into
making the marriages that bring
them nothing but sorrow. Nor are
they idiots. Many of them have the
awful example of their parents un-
happy marriages ever before them.
Yet they go on with the weddings
even after having been given pre-
view of what their own fate will
be if they marry the unfit.
The excuse that these poor dupes
of their own wishful thinking make
for committing the folly of these
marriages is love and the fantastic
belief that they can make over a

But not once in million times does
it happen that way. Marriage works

it again. The kit contains all of the
essentials for home facial and sells
at very moderate price. First
cleanse your face with the cleansing
cream and skin freshener. Then
there's the plastic cream that can't
be beat. This you use after you've
properly cleansed your skin, remenl-
Der. Let the plastic cream remain
20 minutes on your face. Relax
while it is on. And let the cream
set on your face. What it does Is
tightens it and helps cleanse at the
same time. Don't crack smile,
though. If you use the cream you'll
see why we mention that. Then
remove the cream with lukewarm
water. Then use the other cream
contained in the new home facial
kit. This is a beauty item you'll
use again and again, each time get
ting good results. This kit is espe-
cially good for the career girl who

the particle in suspension until you
whisk it away with a soft cloth or

Cherish Your
FurCOat
Bv Dorothy BihIman

During this spell of Indian
Summer it seems almost out-of-
place to discuss furs and how to
keep them, but it is better to be
safe than be sorry, so here goes
with a few dos and don'ts.
In the first place you should
keep your coat in a cool, well
aired closet, strictly away from
any hot water or heat pipes.
Heat dries out the natural oils
in the skins and in time to come
you'll find your coat shedding.
1t is suggested that if you keep a
wet sponge in a small bowl that
it will help to balance the hui
midity, but that perhaps is carry-
ing things bit too far.
Never hang your furs on a
hook. 1t is best to use a large,
long-necked padded hanger, and
by all means cover your coat with
cloth bag if you don't wear it
every day. This will help greatly
to keep it clean of dirt and SCOT.
BY all means don't jam your
furs in a crowded closet. That
tends to mash the hairs and
offers a good breathing grounds
for moths. Also, rubbing of fur
by hat brims, jewelry, packages
and handbags will definitely
show at the end Of the season,
so try to avoid it as much as
possible.
Here is one of the most val
liable hints! If your coat gets
wet from rain or snow shake
off all the excess moisture be-
fore you hang it up. Then place
it so that it dries in draft Of
cool air and out of direct sun
light. Never dry it over ra-
diator. When it is thoroughly
dry shake the coat by the hem.
Small tears may occur in any
fur as peltS are fragile at the
seams, so examine your coat
every once in a while and have
the rip mended Immediately.
Never use cleaning fluid to re-
move spots as they are likely to
ruin the fur or cause discolora-
ton. And, of all things do not
allow your coat to come in direct
contact with moth preventatives
such as camphor or naphtha-
lene for the chemical reaction
might cause serious damage.
1t is advisable to send your
precious furs to reliable fur
rier for cleaning, glazing and
storing over the spring and sum-
mer months to insure longer
life

The average age for menopauSe

natural phenomenon and should no'

One mistake many women MAKE
Is in thinking that any Irregular

natural, 1t is true that they may
be a result of hormone moalance
hut any such symptom should al

Perhaps the most usual charac'
teristic of menopause is a greater
tendency toward irritability, tear!

stand this and know that 1t is
phase which will soon pass, yol
will be better able to control 1t. T
little laugh at yourself and the de-
termination not to take 1T all tot

tension in practically all cases.
Good hygiene is important durlnl

GOOD nutrition are more essentla

Stock Market Edges
Fractional Higher
In Quiet Dealings
BY T. {. AppIegote
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-The stock
market edged cautiously into higher
ground today although price changes
of as much as point were rare.
Industrial favorites, joined by a
few rails, negotiated narrow ad-
vances. The pace of dealings lifted
slightly above Mondays crawl but
showed no runaway tendency. Scat
tered gains outnumbered losses near
the fourth hour.
Lack of speed on recent declines,
some brokers said, encouraged those
customers looking for the market to
engage in technical comeback.
Hopes for a rail freight increase
buoyed some of the carriers while
rising steel operations also were
encouraging. Concern over foreign
economic situations persisted, and
financial quarters watched closely
the opening of the United Nations
General Assembly meeting.
Stocks moving ahead included
United States Steel, Bethlehem,
Chrysler, United States Rubber,
Goodrich, Gotham Hosiery (on a
lifted dividend declaration), Pitts
ton Co. (at a new 1947 high)
Cooper -Bessemer (also new high }
