Fine Passages
By Angelo Potri

Are the children learning pieces
of good poetry. prose and music?
These. II they become permanent
memories for the young people.
will enrich their personalities
enormously. It is not possible to
memorize q beautiful thought In
lovely words without touching the
character with beauty. strength
ening the spirit and inclining the
whole being toward goodness.
This is something that thought
full parents and teachers should
keep in mind in these days Of ex-
posure to bad taste, cheap be-
havior and lowered morality in
forms Of entertainment. Children
love excitement, action, drama and
all Of these are presented to them
at every turn but without much
appeal to their higher instincts.
We need to counteract this by
keeping the best pictures. the
finest poetry, the noblest music be-
fore them so that by the contrast
they learn the better way.
Teaching pieces of good poetry
and prose is one Of the best and
easiest ways Of doing this. Speech,
the expression of the inner per-
son. is easily Influenced by the
talk the children hear and much
of it nowadays is less than classic
English. Some of it cannot be
understood by people who are in
the habit of using and listening to
good English.
The use Of the English language
is a mark Of our culture. Speak
that I may know you" Is q pro-
verbal truth. Listen to the speech
Of the children as they talk to.
gether and consider whether it in
|dicates any degree of culture, good
taste. clarity, precision, let alone
quality Of thought.
am not asking that children
talk classic English. Only that
they speak good English and so
lay the basis for better in time
to come. I would ask that they
use the word man." and not
guy" "girl." and not skirt. Z"
mother" not "mom." That last
is particularly distressing for
there is no lovelier word in the
language than mother"
would ask. too, that they use
clear terms instead of "sez you,"
"oh yeah?" "geez," and the other
passwords Of youth. Instead 7
would ask that they say what is
in their minds in the best possible
English so that when the time
comes, and 1t surely will. when
they need to speak like intelligent,
well-mannered peope. they will
have the words and the manner.
Good example at homes comes
first, then the poems, the choice
bits Of prose. the fine songs and
hymns. Every child should be
able to recite the Lords Prayer,
the twenty third Psalm and the
Ten Commandments, and as time
goes on. into college years, add to
their store of fine thoughts q
host Of lovely selections. They
will prove to be veritable treas
ure down to old age. And so easy
to lay by in youth.

The Fqcts About
Married Beuu
By Muriei Nissen

OEAH MISS N1SSEN: Inree
years ago I began going with Bert;
at that time he told me he loved
me and asked me to marry him
OF course he Is married. but said
he was getting a divorce. On sew
eral occasions he told me he had
started divorce proceedings, but
know he never did. He claims
that, although he and his wife
share the same house. they do not
live together as husband and wife
He comes and goes as q single
man-an arrangement he says has
been going on for IS years.
Now he is also dating . woman
who works with him. Several
times when he said he was work.
ing late at the Office, I have seen
them together in a tavern or at
her house. He has made many
promises to me that haven't been
kept. I have given up friends he
didn't like; I gave up q job be-
cause my working hours conf1icted
with the time he wanted to spend
with me and now I have no one
but him. I love him very much
and keep hoping the situation will
change for the better. Right now
I don't see much future for us.

honestly, Edna. prolonging YOU

nothing but greater heartbreak.
You know perfectly well by nov
that your sweetheart has no in
tention of getting a divorce. IT.
hard to admit this, even to your
self, but there simply is no othe.
possibility. Get back to work, ane
build a new life for yourself

the old one.
You are still a comparatively

miration from any one.

enough to please one man, In
sure you'll find others who viii

All other considerations aside
doesn't the immortality of your life
bother you? There is such a thine
as sin, you know, and you cam

PAINTING CLOTH SHADES?
from Mrs. P. H. s.. Washington
Mrs. E. J. H.: The Better Homes
and Gardens had a detailed in
struction In one Of their magazines
a year or SO ago. ! do not know
If it could be obtained by writing
them. I have learned by being
very patient to take our blinds
apart to clean or change tapes and
cords. Recently ! made plaid
sways for our kitchen windows and
after taking the blinds apart and
washing the tapes. ! covered same
with strips of the red plaid and
put in new red cords. have read
that the tapes and cords can be
dyed.
Before painting your wooden
Stats, be sure all soil or wax is
removed. After taking them apart,
wash, rinse and dry the Stats and
then hang up by the ends to paint.
A paint store could suggest the
best type of paint to use for this
purpose. # I am puzzled about
putting a blind back together. I
examine another Of the same type.
I have washed blinds in the bath
or laundry tubs and If the tapes
and cords were badly soiled, I
stood one end and then the other
in a mild bleach solution. Then
rinse thoroughly and dry with an
old towel to keep the tapes and
cords from streaking. Hang up
while still damp with the blind let
down as tapes sometimes shrink
a little.
For the discussion on automatic
washers. A couple Of years ago we
purchased an automatic washing
machine. It is one Of the agitator
types which can be interrupted
during the cycle or any part of
the cycle repeated. We have a
great deal of laundry, so thought
it best not to dispose of our
wringer-type machine hastily. for
which I am thankful. This, of
course. would only be practical for
some one who has ample laundry
space, plus large amounts Of laun-
dry to handle. The drain hose on
the automatic was heightened SO
as to empty once-used suds into
the other machine In which
spreads. rugs, ETC.. may be washed.
I find this a very worthwhile say
ing on water, soap and time. My
machine uses 20 gallons of water
to complete a cycle. During the
first year, we had several service
calls on our automatic and found
the men were always courteous to
explain the cause of the trouble, SO
that many times we can care for
the machine ourselves. It is the
machine that is named by the sew
enth and fifth letters of the alpha
bet. We have found it very nec-
essary to remove the agitator and
wash bracket and clean all lint
and accumulation from inner
parts.
Has any one tried painting good
quality cloth window shades with
a rubber base paint?

are the great Joe Perry at full
