Let Others Live Their Own Lives F [ BY ALLENE SUMNER Helen’s sister, who has four babies, looks \yith disapproval upon sister Helen, who has none. Helen’s sister tells Helen that she Is not doing her duty, that she is not accepting her share of the world’s responsibilities, a rui that she ought to be ashamed of herself for keeping her job instead of rearing children. I am not sure that I want to enter Into discussion of whether it really is a duty of all married people to have babies. But I do want to tirade against a quaint little human custom of foisting our own choices, our own ways of living, upon everyone else. Sometimes ' when Helen, who knows very well just what her plan of life calls for, and what she intends to do, gets terribly roiled at sister Lucy, she says: "Oh, she's just miserable herself trying to keep those four younguns clothed and fed and educated, and she wants me to have the same trouble!” . y

Brother Bob and his tribe look askance at Helen and her husband, Tom, too. They think they are spendthrifts, and luxury lovers. You see Helen, who plays the piano like a genius, and Tom, who would ratifer sing than eat, bought a $750 baby grand piano the other day.' The family is aghast! "When you can get an upright good enough for anybody for $850! "And they don’t even own their own home!” The family’s idea of the proper place for money, you see, is in houses and lots. They would no more Jjuy a baby grand than a family airplane, so why snould Helen and Tom? In other words, the family idea of Investment must be Helen’s and Tom’s idea, too! I know another family of the old school which is much annoyed by a daughter’s platinum and diamond engagement ring, costing $250, Ma never had an engagement ring, and in her day the only girls who had them were either betrothed to rich lads or to wastrels who bought but did not pay. Ma knows that her girl’s swain is not rich, so she opines that he is flagrantly extravagant, and “throws the ring up to her” her daughter as proof simple she will Bhd her days in a poor house. Asa matter of fact, to me Helen and Tom have'a much better working, more efficient thrifty, practical plan of life, even if it does include a grand piano, than do their critics. They are young. They have no Idea of dodging any responsibilities, although they plan to have children, not as “responsibilities” and a “a duty,” but because they want them.

I Pessimistic on Minimum Wage Laws Fifteen years of experience with minimum wage legislation for women in the United States have produced little in the way of tangible results as far as the mass of women workers is concerned, according to a study by the National Industrial Conference Board, New York, concluded after several years of investigation of the operation of such laws. Minimum wage legislation for women has been experimented with in fifteen States and in the District of Columbia, but in all but eight of these jurisdictions the laws passed have been either held unconstitutional, been repealed or been otherwise nullified through legal procedure. Only one of the eight States in which a minimum wage law is now in effect, Massachusetts, is preponderantly industrial, and the total number of women theoretically protected by such laws constitutes only about 12 per cent of all the women wage earners in the United States. All minimum wage legislation in the United States, moreover, wherever it functions, does so virtually only by sufferance or voluntary compliance, inasmuch as a United States Supreme Court opinion in 1928 rendered unconstitutional all mandatory minimum wage legislation. The Massachusetts law is non-mandatory, providing no penalty to enforce the recommended minimum rates other than authority to publish names of firms ignoring the "decrees” of the wage commission. The conference board’s study concerns itself principally with the experience of the law in Massachusetts as at the present time this is the only type of minimum wage legislation likely to be a factor in the future.

Dollar God Takes Hope' From Youth BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON John Rogers, son of a professor at Stanford University, is another college suicide. Everybody wonders why so many of these seemingly fortunate youngsters find their lives too heavy to bear. Reasons are given and statistics printed, but the girls and boys go right on killing themselves for no good excuse that we grown-ups can see. And perhaps because we cannot see these tragedies Increase. Are the mature men and women of this country not responsible, in a measure, for a state of mind that leaves adolescents unable to face existence in a world that we have helped to make? These children are dying because we disregard the spiritual values of life. In a country where half the mothers dress and act like flappers and half the fathers behave themselves like 16-year-olds, can you

wonder that the children sense something gone awry? --We live in the richest nation on the globe. ’ Yet we have a government that can upset the world with a Teapot Dome scandal. We have State administrations that are rotten with scandal and unspeakable with moral degradation. In the greatest democracy on earth, United State Senators, representatives statesmen of our country, must deftnd themselves from charges of buying themselves into office. We have a system of living that is built almost wholly upon the material. The dollar has become the American man’s god. Is it strange that children find that this divinity does not satisfy? And now, promising them something finer, we have given them a new world, hypocritical, lying, wherein bootleggers thrive, where good men vote for prohibition and drink illicit whisky, where we prate of the things of God and practice the things of the devil. Our colleges have become mere fact factories that teach boys and girls everything else but the one essential thing—the way to live. The children are asking for bread, do we give them stone.??

SUMMER BEAUTY

All eyes are flattered by an artlstic make-up. Light eyes demand It. Be scrupulously careful, for carelessness immaking-up the eyes kills expression and gives a cold, hard look. - Choose the color of your make-up paste and powder by the color of your eyes. Blue eyes take mauve make-up; blue eyes take mauve make-up; brown take black. First, shade the lower lid with a little paste, scarcely touching the center but shading gradually toward both inside and outside corners. The tone of the eye determines how much to use. Make-up should emphasize the Iris, rather than kill it. Second, shade the upper lid all over lightly, with it darkest near the eyelashes and growing lighter as it rises until it disappears into'the eyebrow unnoticed. Dust lightly with the matching powder. Never leave a gummy, greasy look, but never use too uch of the powder. It Is far better not to make-up the eye at all than to do it crudely, or too much.
