ARE YOU BORED WHEN LEFT ALONE WITH YOUR SELF?

Perhaps You Don’t Know, Says Martha Lee, Because This Is Such a Busy Age—lmagination Is the Solution. By Martha Lee Can you bear to be alone with yourseli!? Perhaps you don’t know. This is such an age of activity; everybody is so busy keeping up in the pageant of progress, that no one gets much time to find out what sort of person the years are making him. y

That is, be usually doesn’t. A Now York theatrical magnate, internationally .known, had a nervous breakdown some months ago. He was ordered to stay quiet for a month. This is what he said about it: ‘‘Would you believe that I’m thanking my lucky stars for an illness that costs me upward of S2OO, 000 owing to postponed projects, because in that month, I had time to discover that aside from my theatrical knowledge and contacts, I had been letting life get by me. I realized that I’d be as empty headed as an office boy if I over got away from the one thing.” This man and any other, who doesn’t have interests outside of one beaten track, is robbing himself. “The world is so full of a number of things," as the poet said. Have hobbies, interests in different fields of thought and if circumstances sometimes throw you with yourself for company, you’ll not find It a disaster to be alone or your own company a complete failure. Marry Interests in Life? A Dear Martha l.eo: 1 read so many let■Trs in your column from folks who I think are responsible for some ot their own troubles. For instance, not lone ago there was a letter fro ma woman who had a fine home, and plenty of money, but who said that life held no interests for her. I think a person like that simply lacks imagination, for this is certainly a wonderful old world, and X can't see how any one could get as stagnant as that in their thoughts. - MARY M. Well, it’s certainly fine to know that you are looking through rosy glasses. You are right in what you say. “Lack of imagination” is largely responsible for folks not seeing the infinity of good that is all around. The person who cultivates a lot of interests and tries to keep active and in toucli with life, rarely grows melancholy. But “It takes all kind of people to make a world,” as the Irishman said. She Is Unappreciative Dear Martha Four years ago I met and fell in love with a girl and she with me. f Afterwards shn got to going with a rather fast crowd and resented my telling her I did not like it. She is very moody and changeable. I have tried to do everything for her that I can. twit she seems to appreciate nothing. I have a ear and about all that the other fellows have that she goes with, but she seems indifferent Shall I give up the situation as a bad job? I am getting where X can think of marriage now and could give her much better than she now has for she has to make her own way. Please advise me. I still love her. WEEF. I should judge this girl to have few characteristics that will make for a happy married life for you. She undoubtedly is selfish—her unappreciation Indicates that. I believe you are too gentle in tiur dealings with her. The kind * girl she seems to be will approate manliness, dignity, strength and despises and will take advantage of the opposite qualities. Some Etiquette Points Dear Martha Lee: Wihch is right, for a girl to speak first or the. boy when they meet? Doea a boy care morn for a girl when she doesn’t let him put his arm around her or kiss her? When you return home from any place with a boy. do you sit for about five minutes in the machine, or get out at onoe? What, is proper to say when a bo.v asks to take you home from church or a party ? MARIE B. 1. The girl speaks first. 2. The boys generally claim that they like a girl who doesn’t pet with every boy. 3. No, you should not sit around in a parked machine. 4. There is no set speech to make. Just frankly say that arrangements

have already been made to take you home (if they have) but thank the boy cordially. If you wish to accept the invitation simply say that you will be glad to have him take you. He Scolded Her Dear Martha Lee: T have two admirers. Both professed to be in love with me. One lived out of town and has said that he hoped to make me his wife. The other was nice as could lie to me, but never spoke of marriage. This last man. hearing I had been corresponding with the out of town man. got angry and scolded me for duplicity. He has not. seen me since. Now did I do wrong in writing to this other man and what ran I do to regain the respect and love of the man here? XV. G. I can’t see that you did wrong at all. If you were not engaged to this locril man. he was unreasonable and really had no right to scold you regarding your out of town correspondence. I feet that this was not really the reason for his severing the friendship. Anyway, if it was. he Is a man with a too strong jealous clement, so don’t worry further about him.

CONSIDER THAT WIFE OF PEPY’S Read This If You Women Are Tired of 'Dinner Getting.’ By Allene Sunnier If you get tired of the “eternal old round of dinner-getting,” with soup, meat, potato, vegetables, salad, and dessert to prepare, listen a moment to a word from Samuel Pepy’s diary about the supper that his wife had prepared for him when he returned home from the day’s arduous labors:. “My wife had got ready a very fine dinner —viz: a dish of marrow bones, a leg of mutton, a loin of veal, a dish of fowl, three pullets and two dozeri of larks all in a dish, a great tart, a neat's tongue, a, dishwf anchovies, a dish of prawns and cheese.” AVe will sing now the chorus of that grand old song entitled “Praise Be, I Was Born Years Later.” AY omen Bandits An 18-year-old boy, arrested in St. Louis last fall for his discovered plans of robbing Queen Marie of Rumania, has just been re-sentenced to a reformatory on another charge. He explained that lie wanted to rob Marie, "just so's I could say all my life that I’d robbed a queen.” The boy is not so different from many women wo all know who make homes miserable for their families as they moan about what they don’t have, and inflate the home standard of living, run into debt, and put the emphasis on the inane things of life just so that they may say "I entertained Mrs. Boom-Boom.” “Kitchen Bcssies" Another “kitchen Bessie” got into trouble. He was a 66-year-old Span-ish-American War veteran. He was shot and killed by an 86-year-old Civil War veteran, “because he was always botherin’ the women folks in the kitchen and talkin’ too much and too fast.” The moral of the tale is that the sooner men learn that a kitchen is

the woman's domain, the better off they’ll be! Women “Flggers” Figures ordinarily are not interesting. But anyone who finds Interest in the advance and present status of women may enjoy these. Eight million and a half women are gainfully employed in this country right now. This does not include the millions of women who work harder in their own homes than any of the eight million, but who are not paid a wage. More than 22 per cent of this number hold manufacturing or mechanical jobs. There are only 35 occupations not open to women. There are 297,000 fewer women in domestic work than there were seventeen years ago. It would be interesting to see the figures for 1927. Will the pendulum have swung backward, and will vtfbmen be back in the home, or will none ol them be there, and where will they and their husbands and families, If any, be? Too Bad Mrs. Ruth Snyder, accused of helping kill her husband, complained that among the many ills she suffered at the hands of her mate was the fact that out of his weekly salary of slls he gave her only SB6 for the upkeep of the home and to save. “I could not keep up my end on that," she said. I am sure that she will have the Intense sympathy of thousands of women who manage to keep up homes very nicely on $25 a week! HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS COMFORTABLE COVERS -- Covers for comfortables, in dainty polka-dots or flowered materials, can be purchased reasonably and are invaluable in preserving the silk coverings on your down puffs. TIME SAVER Clothes, folded carefully when taken from the line, will iron much more easily. A big time saver is to sprinkle the clothes Immediately and fold up for ironing. RUBBER GIjOVES Rubber gloves are more than worth their weight in gold to the housewife, who cares for her hands. They can be purchased in every conceivable shade now and are a joy as well as a help. FRESH FRUITS It should be “off with the soups, on with fruit cups and salads,’’ now that spring Is here. Every meal should furnish fresh fruit in some form or fresh vegetables. SCOURING PRECAUTION For all scouring use a damp, not a wet, cloth. Too much water prevents the frictional materials from taking hold and doing its work well. FUR COLLARS Flat furs trim the smartest spring coats. Unborn calf used for collar and deop reveres on a beige twill is an innovation.

WOMEN WILL FIGHT IF UNIFORMS ARE PRETTY Mrs. Ferguson Not Worried Over Hint That Fair Sex Will Face Conscription in Next War.

By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

The intelligence that women will be subject to conscription in the next war will probably meet with the approval of the sex. On the face of past events, it appears not only sensible, but necessary that when “The Four Horsemen” come again, the country should be able to look to her women to rush to training camps, to Red Cross Headquarters, and even-'to spring to arms if need arise. There* is a great deal of camouflage in the story sent out by the War Department. All about wasted effort and proper organization and that sort of thing. But away down deep, buried under the ponderous phrasing of official communications, lies the real gist of the tale. For we are finally apprised of the fact that women will be given regular military rank, and this being the case, we must suppose that they will also bo supplied with becoming uniforms. That will fetch us. It has always fetched the men, and as we are no less vain we shall not fail to respond to the lure of service stripes and chevrons and trim-fitting khaki. For when you get down to bed rock, good-looking uniforms have made more patriots than all the principles thought up by prime ministers or presidents. When a man dreams of himself in super roles, his

fancy will clothe him in brilliant mil-

itary dress with sparkling and colorful decorations. Civilian garb is not so inspiring, but doll men up in tight breeches and Sam Browne belts and shining high hoots, and they will rush into the jaws of death, knowing themselves propertly accoutred for heroic demise. Nations have Kept up vast standing Armies on this psychological truth. Shrinking little men have become strong and fearless in the habiliments of the lighter. Conscription lias been put over successfully because few men can stand to see their companions in uniform without rushing off to get an outfit. And what will work with one sex will work with the other. If wo women must fight and suffer and die in that war which the men seem determined we shall have, let us, like them, be permitted to dress up for it.
