AMERICA’S NEW FIRST LADY OF LAND’ IS JUST PLAIN FOLKS’

Mrs. Coolidge Did Her Own Housework While in Massachusetts —Favorite Color Is Blue, Ey Scripps Alliance. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—Back home in Northampton, Mass., she did her own housework and her boys ran errands and dried the dishes for Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, the new first lady of the land, is just “plain folks.” They say she has “a smile that rivals the sunshine” and is a charming hostess, but the smile has been absent this week because of the tragic circumstances that brought her back to Washington so hurriedly. This is no time for smiles now, with the whole nation mourning its late chief.

Large blue eyes, a wealth of very dark hair and the neatest of attire combine to give her a really girlish appearance, despite the fact that she is the mother of two boys now of prep school age. Calvin. Jr., 15, and John, 16, who have been spending the summer on their grandfather’s farm at Plymouth, Vt. College Bred Mrs. Coolidge is a college-bred worn- , an, having graduated from the University of Vermont, and a former .school teacher. She was teaching in 'an Institution for the deaf when she [married Mr. Coolidge. eighteen years iago. Her father, Andrew Goodhue of Burlington, Vt., died last October. Friends say Mrs. Coolidge cares little for society, but she has met the demands imposed upon her by reason of her husband ‘a pbfiition in 'Washington. At various social events in the Capital she has proved most gracious and charming. What, does she wear? Well, the morning after the brilliant reception for the diplomatic corps that followed Mr. Cooildge’s Inauguration as vicepresident, the society editors wrote: “Mrs. Coolidge looked particularly charming in a smart gown of dove

Martha Lee Says Marriage Takes Study, Like Other ‘Business’

This business of marriage has to be studied, just as any other business is studied. The day is long past when a woman took it for granted that her husband would be a model, and, if he turned out to be far from that, meekly folded her hands and accepted her fate.

The girl of today realizes she must find some way to keep her husband interested in her, if she expects her marriage to be a happy one. There can be no set rules of "how to hold a husband” or "how to hold a wife.” Every husband and every wife presents an individual problem, to be handled in an individual way. It is up to the wife or husband to learn how best to keep the love of his particular mate. Wife Is Lonesome { Dear Miss Le: I am a married woman fiß years old. My husband la 30. He seems to be wanting to go all the time and leave me at homo My folks all live in lowa. I have no one to go to but friends, or stay by myself. When we first were married, four and one-half years aco. he would rather stay home with me than fro anywhere. I always am ready and willing to go with him anywhere he asks, but he does not seem to want me. I keep my home neat and myself always tidy. His meals always are ready when he oomes home Do you advise me to go some place every time he goes and not get back until after he^does? You know your husband; I don’t. So you are the one to decide what is needed in this case. Evidently you have failed to hold his Interest. It may be that you pay too much attention to keeping your house and yourself neat and tidy, and neglect keeping yourself attractive as well. Don’t hide your personality in your house. Your husband married you because you had characteristics that appealed to him. Take stock of yourself. Then get back to the girl that he married, remembering, of course! that four and one-half years naturally would make changes. Go out when you have a chance; hut, of course, never go with any men but your husband. Have other couples over for evenings once in a while, with your husband as one of the party. Some Opinions Dear Miss Lee: lam a girl of 19 years I am not considered good-looking, but very attractive. It seems as If everywhere I go. there is always someone flirting at me. A year ago I enjoyed this, but now that sort of thing is disgusting I could have a date every night, but I do not believe in this for two reasons—reputation and health. Please tell me what it is that makes these men keep on asking me for dates. It looks as if. when a fellow is refused a date eight or ten times in succession, he would take the hint. If it would not be too much trouble. I wish you would print yc-ur opinion of the way a girl should act. use rouge and treat foolish men. CAN'T UNDERSTAND MEN. It’s surprising how long It takes for some people to take hints. Just keep on refusing; that’s all you can do. I’ll be glad to give you a few of my opinions. A girl should act natural, of course. She should not make herself conspicuous. Bhe will find herself beet liked If she is friendly. Jolly, sympathetic and thoughtful. She •hould respect other people’s opinions and moods. She will lose nothing bry sticking to high Ideals of womanhood, even though a few “sheiks" refuse to have anything to do with her for that reason. A little make-up, used In the right way and right places, does no harm, in my opinion. It does not look well on school girls, and older girls should apply it sparingly. A girl must study herself to find out whether she looks better with or without rouge. Treat "foolish men” In accordance

crepe de chine made with a long tunic which opened over a panel of network embroidery of the same tone crepe. The bell sleeves and girdle v. ere also of embroidered crepe. A corsage boquet of mauve orchids harmonized delightfully with the soft gray shaae of her gown.” Likes Blue At her husband’s inauguration, she had worn a dress of black satin covered with silk figured net. There wag a wide, loose girdle of black satin and over her heart there sparkled a littls arrow of diamonds set in platinum. "Blue is my favorite color.” she once told an interviewer in discussing clothes for street wear. "I like conservative things and wear biue a great deal because it Is so economical. I like suits best of a!! because I feel perfectly comfortable in a suit and a pretty blouse.” "Do you play?” she was asked. " A little,” she smiled, drawing out the latter word just a trifle deprecatingly. "Sometimes I accompany the boys—they play the violin —but Mr. Coolidge usually runs away when we begin. Evidently he doesn't appreciate our music.”

with how foolish they are, and in what way. MARY MARIE}—You are right to want to get into a home to-rear your baby, but remember that, although you want to give the child fresh air, you do not want to deprive it of a father. So be patient, if you must wait a while. If your father lives away from Jndianapolls, your problem might be solved if your husband could get a position near your old home. Then you would be near enough to advise your younger sisters and brothers, but you would have your own home. Temper Needs Control Dear Miss Lee: I am 20 and have been going: with a fellow four years my aenior for more than a year. Before I met him. he was going with a girl who turned him down because he was out of work. He was not physically able to work He is the first "steady ’ fellow I ever had I went with htm all the time he waa out of work and when he waa able to work again the other girl tried to win him back. Now, when she sees us together, she always makes remarks about me so I can hear. I try not to be rude, but somehow I cannot always hold my temper My fellow gets angry because I do. and "bawls me out." I love him very much. Please tell me how I can make him quit getting so angry. MARY ANN. You can keep this man from being angry by controlling your own temper. If you want to keep his friendship you must do this. You flatter the girl by paying any attention to her. The roan cannot help realizing what she Is like. BILLY GREEN—Is it really worth while to give up your family for this man? Is he worth it? Answer those questions honestly before you make your decision. It is not too late to go back to your family. You will be sure of their love, and you seem far from sure of the man's. I think you should tell the man why you left home. I cannot tell whether he loves you.

C^TTCHI^N HOW’S YOUR HEART?

SHE engihe of a great ocean liner gets a rest after driving the ship 4,000 miles across the : ocean. The human heart, a ihore won- j derfui engine, never gets a rest until i it stops for good. Its weight is only about three-quarters of a pound. Day after day and year after year it throbs j away at the average speed of seventy- j two beats a minute. It drives the! blood throughout the body to repair waste and build new tissues. If an ounce of prevention is-worth a pound of cure, what can we do to prevent this wonderful little engine from getting out of order? Medical science knows more about the heart today, and the means of’combating its diseases, so there is always hope for you, if your heart has gone wrong. Health Is Priceless The most trivial defects should be chocked up at once. Examination by a physician once or twice a year is not too great a price to pay for priceless health. To wait until you have to reform or live the .hygienic life is like a drowning man grasping at straws. Early heartj defects may have been caused by the toxins of scarlet fever, dlptheria, pneumonia or acute rheumatism, which is frequently a children’s disease and a heart disturber. Ee careful of your children and guard against all diseases of the nose and throat. A healthy throat will go a long way toward staving off any beginning heart murmurs or endocarditis. Sometimes weak heart has been caused by early athletic excesses, when the heart has been severely overtaxed and its muscles stretched. This may mean leaky heart and the end of athletics for the patient. At the period

If fathers and mothers arc sensible, and correct hygienic laws are explained to them, serious heart and blood troubles may be avoided in later years. San it At ion Necessary Do not under any circumstances wear the same clothing at night as you have during the day. This habit, If kept up. may cause poisons which ha s been thrown off by the pores of the skin to be reabsorbed by the blood and Injure the heart action.

Many of you who dress In a hurry, gulp down your breakfast, rush for a train, or dash up the elevated stairs like a wild man and wear that serious expression on your face, are living like an army with all its reserves In action. It’s bad business for a weak heart or a strong one either. Stimulants Dangerous Avoid all alchoholic stimulants when any heart trouble appears.

LETTER FROM ALICE HAMILTON TO MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES HAMILTON. DEAR MOTHER; Although I know you intended to be kind I think you should have told me of Leslie's accident the moment it occurred. As it was you Jet me go on for a long time feeling quite hurt because she had not written rue. Now I am filled with remorse that 1 could have thought for a moment that my darling sister would have neglected me when I was so far away. However, I think had I received a cablegram, I should have taken the next boat home. It sickens me every time I think of the good times I have been having while all the time she has been so ill. I want you to tell Leslie tba‘ J knew nothing about her accident ar.d that if she wants me or if she thinks that I can do her the least bit of good I will come home immediately. Poor girl! I believe I would die had I been expecting such a wonderful event in my life as a baby and then had to bear the disappointment of losing it before it had ever been laid in my arms. Karl was awfully sweet in telling me all about it. We are still talking about you He said that you let him go in and look at Leslie for a momertt while she was asleep, so that he could even tell me just how she looked. He told me she was “just like a Madonna who had been deprived of her only child by death.” He told me that Jack was thinking of adopting a child. 1 think this would be a lovely thing. Let me kr.ow as soon as you decide which wav It is going to be and if you decide upon adoption, don’t christen him until I

come home. I want to be godmother. Poor Leslie! I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind all day. This being married, mother, isn’t such a cinch after all, is it? / Someway up until now I have always considered marriage a kind of gjerified courtship under the sanction of the church, but now I see there are a great many responsibilities and cares connected with it. Kari told me that you thought he had better bring those pearl. beads of Leslie’s over here, but he dissuaded you from it. I wish you had let him bring them. I think they would go awfully well with my new pearl ring. The ring of course is real, but every one says that the beads are such a wonderful imitation that I’m sure they couldn't be told apart. In one of her letters Leslie intimated that she was going to break the string in two and give part of it to Beatrice Grimshaw for a wedding present. You may tell her that I will never forgive her if she does a thing like that. I wrote and told her how hurt I would be if she did it, but I want jou to clinch the argument. I didn’t know that I would ©e as glad to see any one as I was to see Karl. I wouldn’t marry an man if he were the Duke of eter or the Prince of Wales himself. Please cable me exactly how Leslie is. Could she read a letter if I should write it to her? I love you all so much. ALICE. TOMORROW—John Prescott answers his mother’s letter—The “illegitimate” baby.
