Goad posture. erect carriage: helps us all both physically and! mentally, and it can be ootained

by remembering a few simple rules.

Frctn the physical standpoint, proper canlage gives the lungs

Be Let Down At Home

DEAR MISS DIX: Should children always be criticized about their table nizinncrs? Should they not be able to let down at home so hs to enjoy a meal? I can remember in our home that many it

gwonderful mriil. laboriously prepared by Mother, was spoiled by lhc

conslunl nagging of Dad about our table manners. Home should be a place where you can be yourself and enjoy whatever you wish in

: uny way you may. . It does seem funny that such ii trifling thing as table manners should mean so much to some people. Such a small matter as making .1 sandwich at the home dinner table has all but caused a revolution in our family.

BOB. JR.

ANSWER: I agree with you that home should be a place for rest and relaxation where we are entitled to drop many of the ceremonial conventions we observe with slrangrts, but that does not mean that we can do away with the decencics of life. or are free to do the things that get on other people's nerves. in facl, Just because we are brought in daily Contact with the members of our own families it is the more necessary for us to watch our s'ep and make ourselves attractive to them.

CAN BE IMPORTANT And this matter of table etiquette cuts a much larger figure in that than you would suppose. You would be amazed at the number of letters I got from women who are on the verge of divorce because they

l have got to the point where they think they will commit murder if

they have to watch the sloppy way their husbands eat another time.

and from men who say they are married to perfectly good wives. but

they can't stand them bcciiuse they make in hissing sound when they drink their coffee of a morning.

1 Of course. you resent being mugged about your table mnnncrs by your father. Doubllcss he is worn out nagging you and would be only too gliid to quil.' it Is unforlunule that parents have to nag. hiil.

l it is only by telling children thousands of times not to do this. and

- in do the other thing. that training soaks in somehow to leach them good miinncrs and make them Indies and gentlemen.

DEAR MISS DIX: I hiivc been inarricd eight years. Have iwn children. a girl of 6 and a boy of 2. My husband is sensible. Makcs -1 fair living. Doesn't drink. gamble or flirt. Is devoted to the chil- dren. Wc have a nice home hnd he stays home most of the time.

The trouble is I am careless by nature and my husband is very exact and nuncluzil. He has tried to teach me to be careful, but no mntler how hard I try I simply citn't do it. At my first sign of carelessness my husband starts picking on me. He sC0l(lS mo. in- suits me, culls me names and has got me so miserable that I '.llll seriously thinking of leaving him. The only thing that kccps me wilh him is the children. If not for these arguments we would htnc been as happy it couple as could he found. hut when he begins insult- ing mu 1 actually go crazy. Would you advise me to leave him?

THIRTY-ONE

ANSWER: You siiy you have tried to cure yourself of your carr- lessness, but you haven”: tried hard enough. You haven't put your whole determination into it. You haven't brought every bit of will power you have to bear on it. You haven't used your brains in figur- ing out ways to outwit your personal devil and get the better of mm

You will commit a crime against your children if you deprive thvm of a good home and a good father because you resented his scolding you for your sloppiness. And remember that when you try to support your children you will find that employers are not more tolerant of carelessness titan your husband is. and that it will be just us lTlUI.ll a bur to your success in business as it is to your success In matrimony

Of course, nobody likes lo be scolded. but if you will try to cor- rect your carelessness your husband will be so pleased he will l'll"l'L you halfway and try to encourage you. and you will get pals on the hack instead of the hammer.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I have a son who has been out of col- lege ll year. He is very anxious to get in job and has one offer:-cl him. but it will take liim out of town. However. as I am not vcrr-' well I have talked him out of taking it. I would turn my business over to him. but I don't want him to be in it. as it has very little monty in it any more. I give him fl good home. clothes and spending monev. but he is very dissatisfied.

This was the day we shall recall in later years, if we be spared to then, as that in which the bridge "came up" - the one that spans the roadway. this that is always referred to by the family as "the Public bridge" but known to Judy in her time at Alderlca as "the County bridge". "The rnailm.':n's coming Mrs. Ellen." she would call, "hes almost to the County bridge - I'm going to rtin and get it!” and she would be off. dark curls streaming in her haste to come to lane's end.

In recent days great trucks have rumbled down along the hill to unload with echoing sound. and to the family's vast delight. the materials and machinery neces- sary Ior the task of rebuilding, which since Spring came in. has appeared to be insistent. Indeed James and Mr. C. from the house on the bill. knowing something of the old structure's weakened con- dition due to the heavy wear and tear of the years has watched the heavy machines roll over it of late with much anxiety. and in- variably breathed a sigh of re- iief when safe crossing was made. "It's only the Lord's doings that that machine didn't drop in!" James has commented, adding. "if lthcy' don't get out and repair that bridge soon tbere'li be I tragedy right before our eyes!" So it was with much relief on the part of those in the neighborhood. we saw the undertaking that will presently be a new bridge, com- mence. though tonight folks on this side are cut off from the south. unless they choose to come there by foot along the dam. by boat across the pond. wading the stream that runs ”below" the mill. or by car in a lengthy detour along fields or by road to reach even as far as the corner store. "Can you tell me". a motorist came to the door a few minutes ago to in- quire of us. "how I can get across ' the stream?"

And now the old bridge is no more. "We've sort of grown used to the look of it" Jeanie com- mented as we stopped our work about the lawn to watch it being taken apart piecemeal today. What carryings it has held through the years! Strangers. neighbours. travellers from far and near. Time was when it look folks, from miles away and their grist. of wheat to the flour mill or to the Doctors. in whose memory for us these days the wild cherry trees up the crock wear garlands of white bloom. Gently the Summer waters rippled for us in the cool shadows beneath. And sat beside and below on still mornings or at cvening. when with small lads we drove the cows to the milking, two
