HAPPY HOME MUST BE BUILT ON FOUNDATION OF FAITH

Love Needs Trust to Be Kept Alive BY MARTHA LF.E When the foundation for a happy home is laid the material* most needed to make it a substantial structure are love, faith and steadfastness. When one of these is missing the structure is not nearly so apt to stand the wear and tear of the elements. Os the three, it seems tha f faith is the most essential, for surely no woman could love a man she could not trust, any more than a husband could love his wife if he could not rely upon her "deli' -. And there could be no steadfastness in a home v here there was not & mutual faith. And unfortunately, faith is easier to lose than it is to obtain, especially if it. once has shown signs of being elusive. It sometimes takes years to rebuild faith when it once is gone. And it is a hard, bitter job, because fata seems to conspire plots wherebv the person rebuilding lost faith will be put into as uncompromising situations as possible. Hard to Regain Faith Add to that, the fact that nothing makes a person look guilter than to be explaining situations constantly and you have a fair idea of the task to be undertaken in circumstances where husbands and wives have had reason to lose faith. Sometimes the case of this lost faith is a culmination of a series of petty lies. When things are unpleasant to tell, when a “white" He can be executed successfully, to save the situation, it is such a temptation to use this means of straightening things out. And it is often just that which causes an insidious undermining of the faith of a husband for his wife. A young wdfe who apparently has used this means of smoothing out tome of the petty trials of her married life writes for advice. D*r Miss Le* I have a problem on vhlfh I must have help. I m 18 years old. married, and have a 9-month-old baby. My husband and I can not get along without fussing, and It has been my fault- I always have been afraid to tell him the truth about things when a lie would do Just as well, and save ill feeling and bad temper. I have lied to him. I reallie now that I have done terribly wrong. That lying to him has caused InAnltaly more trouble for me. I really am very sorry, but how can I prove It to him? He says he never can trust me again. My heart is broken and I do love him so. Really Miss Lee. I want to do the right thing. Won t you please suggest some wa> that I might win back his trust and confidence? ALTA Tell him how much you want to have things on the old basis. You were so very young to be married, and. of course, since even old people make mistakes in how they handle affairs, it is not to be wondered at that you have. From now on. no matter how bad the truth is. tell him point- blank. Ask him to give you a trial. Let him set the time limit. There should be nothing you could not tell him straight. If it is concerning the household, ha has as much to say about it as you do. Do as he wishes you to and when questions arise tell him exactly how things are. Why you start substituting falsehood for truth, you are certain to weave a web around yourself from which you can escape only bv breaking it. 'The only way you ever will gain his trust and confidence again is by earning it.

Family Menu BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Hot days increase the food problem- The summer heat and humidity is most trying and does much to mar the crispness of foods even if actual spoilage is avoided. Well selected containers go far toward keeping foods in good condition. Covered glass or earthenware dishes are excellent for storing food, both raw and cooked. Soft fruits like berries keep in better shape if they are taken immediately from the box in which they are marketed and spread on a platter or plate. Keep them in a cool place but not in the refrigerator unless a cool cellar is not available. Whenever fresh fruits or vegetables are kept in a refrigerator they should be stored in the warmest place. Use l.eft-Ovcr*< Promptly The care of left-overs requires special attention at this season of the year. In the first place, buy as little as possible and thus do away with the possibility of leftovers. Make it a custom to use all leftovers promptly. Cooked vegetables that have been dressed simply with butter can bo used in a vegetable salad, or reheated in a cream sauce. This changes the dish enough to make it acceptable at the next meal. Vegetables or meats that have been prepared in a cream sauce will spoil very quickly. They should be placed in one of the coldest parts of the refrigerator and used within twenty-four hours. Bread Requires Care Bread and bread crumbs require extra care during the summer months. Bread molds quickly and to overcome this tendency it's a good plan to scald and sun the bread container once or twice a week. It seems wisest to buy flours and cereals in small quantities while the weather is hot. The cereals lose their crispness and the flours are apt to become infested with flour weevils. A two weeks' supply is sufficient. Ready-to-serve cereals and crackers can be crisped if placed in a warm oven for twenty minutes. They must be thoroughly cooled before serving Rush Parties Scheduled Monthly business meeting of Cos Club will be held at 8 o’clock tonight at the Spink-Arms hotel. Plans for rush parties will be made. All members are reque.l|> •and to attend. /

T UCKY the Lovely Lady who is at the beach this summer, for nothing could be lovelier than the beach pajamas the Haute Couture has created for her promenades along the sandy shore. Never have they been so gay yet so comfortable and sensible. The trousers usually are very much of the smaller type, extremely wide and flaring, and fall to the instep. With these are worn a simple bodice, plus a sleeveless bolero or more or less elaborate jacquette. One stunning model we saw was of yellow silk of a coarse weave, trimmed with beautiful wavy incrustations of brown jersey down the sides of the trouser legs, and worn with a little sleeveless jacquette of the brown jersey, with incrustations of the yellow silk. A lovely yellow picture hat had appliques of the brown jersey around the under sides of the floppy brim. a tt a VERY rakish and very nautical was another of flaming red crepe de chine, worn with a little white sailor hat. A white pullover, very decollete, was trimmed with horizontal bands of the red crepe de chine, a white scarf was tied about the waist and a red scarf over the shoulders. The jacquette. with wide sleeves, was of solid red, as were the trousers. And these were some of the simplest. Others had tricky cape effects. elaborate incrustations in modernistic motifs—everything Milady could ask to make herself a fetching picture on the water's edge, s a a OUR idea of the last word in summer lingerie loveliness! A bassiere-vest, a ribbon garter-girdle, the simple step-in—and these are all a lovely lady needs for summer lingerie. We designed all three of these garments to offer the minimum of weight with the maximum of efficiency. and they just do, too. It gets hot every year, and they won’t go out of style, you know—better send your 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times for the leaflet that tells you how to make them. LES OISEAUX,” a lovely Jenny idea, is of black lace, in which the design shows little birds looking as if they wanted to peck at the wearer! tt tt a For Clever Fingers Anything but recipes! It need not be only how to make somej tiring with a needle—this that you are going to get ready for the Clever Fingers contest. Watch for the announcement! a a a SUCH a lovely summer coat of beige crepe romain, trimmed in light fluffy feathers (oh.— o-00-o, if it should rain!). And a printed chiffon dress with a dark red leather belt—very Louiseboulanger in its printed red, pink, purple and mauve chiffon graciousness. a a a Au Revoir! Annual Reuyiion Planned All old Mapleton residents and former football players are invited to attend the second annual reunion of the Old Mapleton Association, which is to be held at Brookside park Sunday.

Novelties in Jewelry Are Intriguing BY FRANCES PAGET i Copyright, 1929, by Style Sources) NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—Great ships bearing American buyers for this and for that who have been scouring the European markets naturally focus attention on what they have found of sufficient interest and value of import for fall and winter. Among the first contingent to arrive are the buyers of novelty jewelry and of millinery. Novelty jewelry continues to intrigue and the feeling that semiprecious stones combined with marcasite will replace -some of the more eccentric types grows as importers freely discuss their impressions. Dinner rings and pendants are among the alliances introduced in marcasite with semi-precious stones. Since everyone acknowledges the importance of brown for fall, there seems a rather feverish concern in old ivory, tortoise shell, amber, topaz and simulated cat’s-eye effects. The cornucopia motif is regarded as interesting, while a revival of Civil war jewelry seems assured, these effects being in coral, onyx with gold or pearl and usually in sets including brooch, bracelet and earrings. Coral already is the vogue. Crystal i baguettes with marcasite are stunning and much worn in Paris at the moment. That chokers have been elongated has been confirmed by all importers of genuine and costume jewelry. The eighteen-inch choker admittedly is the favorite, with some interest in twenty-four and thirtyinch strands with and without pendants. Costume jewelry also has responded to the Spanish gesture which it has pleased fashion to make at this time.

Your Child Don’t Just Take Chance With Drinking Water on a Picnic

BY* OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Where did you get that water, Mary?” Mary pointed up the creek. “In that nice clean pool above the dam." “Well, don’t drink it till I go and see what kind of a place it is.” “Oh, you're too particular Mother. It’s all right.” But Mother was gone. Mary trailed along after. “There! That’s where we always get it when we come out on picnics. We don't drink it if there’s anyone swimming in it, but there’s no one in it now.” The lady almost swooned. And no wonder. For the “pool” was merely a banked-up mud puddle in the sluggish creek. All around it was a margin of mud where the ground had been tramped bare by bathers. Bottles, papers, banana skins, cracker boxes, and melon rinds tried to hide themselves in the straggling weeds, ashamed of the carelessness that had left them there. “How many of you children have had drinks out of that

bers of the organization will attend. The club has been among those in Indianapolis which have contributed toward support of the child health program. Those attending the tea Saturday will go on an inspection tour of the eighty-acre tract and will hear discussions of the health gains being made. Garden Fete Is Given for Bride-to-Be MiS6 Ruth Ham. whose marriage to Robert Gordon Worley will take place Saturday at the Broadway Methodist Episcopal church, was the guest of honor at a garden party given Thursday night by Miss Carol Worley at her home, 5029 East Michigan street.

A feature of the party was a treasure hunt, with a chest of silver at the end of the rainbow for the brideelect. Guests with Miss Ham and Mr. Worley were Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Worley, Mr. and Mrs. E. S.

creek?” she asked when she rejoined the family. They all had. Their father grinned. “Now. aren’t you sorry you came and dragged me along. What you didn’t know didn’t hurt you. did It?” “Oh, don't talk to me!” She fanned herself briskly. “I'm doing some thinking.” Danger of Typhoid “Well, then, think that. I won’t come again. But you’re getting all.worked up over nothing. They haven’t got typhoid yet.” “No, but Martin was in bed all last week with intestinal infection and high fever and the doctor said he'd picked up a germ somewhere. Now I know where he got It. And that infected eye of sister’s. She got that here too, of course, or somewhere just as bad.” “She doesn't drink with her eyes,” father was bound to be facetious. “I doubt if she ever heard of Ben Jonson.” Mother knowing father, paid no attention. "They’ve been swimming in terrible places and drinking terrible water all summer on their picnics and I haven’t paid any attention because I thought they knew better. Play Safe at All Times “It's all my fault. I always give them a thermos bottle of cold water, but they stay all day and they run out. Then they’ll drink anything.” It seems to me this fits the case of a good many families with busy mothers. But if the children can’t picnic in a clean place with clean water to drink or bathe in, I'd keep them at home. It’s safer. Otherwise, always have them take their own drinking water along in bottles of some kind unless they are near a place where water has been piped from clean wells or springs. Open springs, creeks, and old unused wells are a constant source of danger. Creeks often rim through barnyards and drain houses in the country. An innocent looking spring may be full of typhoid or other germs.

Legs Too Prominent in This Case Bl’ MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Several cities are faced with a new employment problem. Charges that drug store curb service in which girls are employed is detrimental to feminine morals have been made. The question is being considerably agitated in parts of the country. Whereas, heretofore, such work was done by boys, there now are many places where girls only are hired. It seems to me that it would be a pitiful thing to reform so hard that these girls would be deprived of a livelihood. And while the modern drug store has, in a faint sense, taken the place of the comer saloon as a meeting place, still it surely is possible for a girl to earn a living there and remain decent. Won’t Help Morals It seems highly improbable that by snatching this employment from thousands of girls that the morals of the nation would improve. There is no field of work for women that does not present its dangerous aspects. But the fact remains that we do not live in medieval times and that we can not save the girls by locking them away from life. Today’s lady must, in many cases, scramble for her living. And while doing that she usually learns to look after herself. Also, virtue that has been through the fire of temptation is twice as fine as that which never has been tested. There is one suggestion, however, that should be made to the drug store curb service girls and their employers. Their dresses are a trifle too short. And that’s not being old-fashioned, either. It’s only common sense. Legs Often Bad From an esthetic standpoint their legs often are bad and their knees unsymmetrical. There seems no. good reason for showing them off along with the fountain menu. When the automobile drives up and turns ins spotlight squarely upon the rows of lovely misses, whose legs are far too much in evidence, the effect often is startling. We know that legs are fashionable now. But after all these girls are workers and not chorus ladies. They are employed to serve cold drinks and not to exhibit their physical charms. Like all other working women they should not strive to call attention to their sex. Bride-Elect Will Be Honor Guest at Bridge Party Miss Edith Hoffman and Miss Ethel Hoffman will entertain tonight at their home, 2152 North Meridian street, with a bridge party and miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Marguerite Showalter, whose marriage to Robert Hoffman will take place Aug. 20.
