MUSIC

__' one of the most pure and in rmoent pleasures which we can enjoy we owe to music. It pos- ssses the power of charming our tflfis, soothing our passions, affect- ing our hearts, and influencing qnr propensities. How ofter has music diszipated our gloom, quick- ened the vital spirits, and en- Iiobled bur sentiments; An art so phasing and useful well deserves our attention; and calls upon us tn employ it to the glory of our mrleiicient Creator.—8turm.

HAIR SHOULD BALANCE FEATURES

Following identical styles worn thirty years ago, the colffurc this springtime recalls the “gay nineties" and that period of time which lay between 1903 and 1910. The hair‘ must balance the rest of mllady‘s features, contenlk Leon Cleman of the Hygienic Hairdressing Salon; otherwise it will become a con- tradiction. The hairdresser needs to study personality and the characteristics of his or her client. A sophisticated woman should not adopt the same style of colffure that a. fluffy, sweet young miss wears. The matron, the sophisticated woman with a tendency toward the masculine, the sporting type and the dainty, de- mure little lady, each demand ll. distinctive style in hairdressing. Clients must be classified, and the artist hairdresser does not put our-ls on the tailored woman. Severe lines are often eliminated

When a Boy Has to Choose Between a Wilful Girl or Common-Sense Marriage View, He Will do Well to Decide in Favor of the Latter

Dear Miss Dlx—I am in a terrible dilemma. with a girl and should like to marry her some day, but not now. She says she is crazy about me. but that it is marry now or never. I am under 25. makes less than $75 a month and have tried to explain to her that it is for her good that I want to postpone our marriage until I get out of debt and can make enoush in SW9 he? at least the bare necessities of life. But every time I say anything about this she goes into a tantrum and says that I don't love her. She is also very jealous and makes me miserable. and I have to be very particular not to corn- pliment any other girl. What would you do? Marry her and, if we can't make a go of it. quit, or be continually harased by her per- sistency? You see, I can't. afford to lose her by putting her ofl.

I am very much in love

WORRXEID DAN. Answer:

Well, Dan, take it rom me You've 80‘ your values mixed. The one thing you can afford t do is to lose a girl like that, and, if by putting her off you escape marrying her, it will be be- cause your Good Angel is on his Job looking after‘ YOU.

It is a common thing to hear people say that marriage is a Bamble and that how one turns out is just a matter of luck, but this is not true. Marriage is an investment. What percenage you get out of it depelld-9 upon whether you have put your all in gilt-edge domestic bonds, or plung- ed on Wild Cat common. Take your own case as an Cxflmlble 0! 7.1115. HOW can you expect a marriage to be a success that you are rushed into against your will, against your better judgment and mat you lack the money to flnzulce?

And how can you expect any hapipness with a wife who goes into tantrunls when she ca.n’t have her own way, and who is so jealous that you don't dare even to look at another girl? And what have you to look forward to but misery in entering into a marriage that you know is bound to end in dlV0‘.'.:C, wlih all the heartache and strife aid nuxletles and scalld-.:l that entails, and that will leave you saddled with a debt of all- money that you will spend the remainder of your life paying?

Believe me, son, getting out of a nlarrlage isn't as easy and light- some a. thing as getting into one is. Especially for a man. As a friend says: "Whell a man marries, he ties a knot with ills tongue ire c'.lll'i. untle with his teeth, and by the time his lawyers have served ills bonds for him he is bankrupt in purse and spirit."

Sometimes a man can offer as an excuse for making an idiotic mar- riage that the girl decelved him as to her real character. You have not that alibi because this young woman has shown you just exactly what she is, and it doesn't take any Sherlock Holmes to deduce \\'lluL sort of a wife she would make. Consider her.

In the first place, she shows that she hash‘: a single brain cell under her finger wave else she would not insist upon marrying you when you are not able to support her. If she had any sense at all, she would see that you are doing the only right and manly thing in wanting to put off the wedding until you are able to care for her. She should not wam, to make herself a burden upon you. The fact that she goes into tantrums whenever you try to reason with her about the matter shows how little irliigelligence she has. Of all women in the world the fool makes the worst w e.

You would never be able to explain to a wife such as this girl would make why you had to work overtime, or why you couldn't, take her wher- ever she wanted to go, or why she couldn't, have everything she wpmed, And when you told her you couldn't give her a new fur coat she would blubber that you didn‘t love her any more and go back home to M-o-t-h-e-r.

This girl has shown you that she is green-eyed. Don't forget, son, that the man who marries a jealous woman is her slave. He has to walk on eggs to avoid scenes and cover up his tracks, no matter if they lend to his grandmother's door, with lies and deceit and that is wearing on any husband's nerves.

So my advice to you is to call the bluff of this girl who is trying to shanghai you into marriage and when she says “NOW or NEVER," you say "NEVER and not MAYBE." DOROTHY DIX.

She ill too old to change the manner of her speech or the habits of a lifetime, but because she is no intellectual nor up in the best etiquette is no reason for her daughter being ashamed of her and unwilling to have her in her house. ,

“He has often done so. What about it, Marlo?”

Mario grlmaced. v

“He scalded his left hand."

Sheila was nscious of a shock. She caught her breath aa she re- called how Cezanne had removed his left arm from the supporting sling and gripped her forcibly with the fingers of that injured left hand. The scalding could not have been so bad, then. But it could eas- ily prevent a man from playing the violin.

Llghis pierced the edges of the window curtains at Pleasant Place. Mario asked the taxi driver to wait and Sheila's father was at the 11001‘ almost as soon as the cab stopped.

His anxiety was manifest as he came to meet them and took her in his arms.

"Shellll, my dear lass," he mur- mured as he helped her into the hull.

Marlo followed them into the lib- rnry, where a cosy fire gleamed.

Shciln saw her violin case resting on fl side table. Her mother and father had taken it home. Her tears were running again.

“You have heard about poor Ed- :lic’,"' she gasped.

"Ycs. Clayton told us. He rang us up. Marlo would not tell us what was the matter when he telephoned. It is very sad."

“It would be uselcss—-going to him, I suppose," said Sheila dully, dropping listlessly into 3 chair.

‘-You must not. It would do no good."

They sat talking for some time and their sheila dragged her steps upstairs wearily to bed.

Mario had gone away in the taxi. The house was deadly quiet. sheila undressed slowly. But she could not go to bed. Instead she sat in front of the gas llre thinking, thinking. It was strange, she thought, that Ed- die's tragic death should move her so profoundly.

It seemed to matter to her I. thousand times more than her tri- umph, on which she did not care to dwell. She recalled what Eddie had said about Paul Cezanne. Eddie had hated Paul, and Sheila wondered why. “Poison/‘ Eddie had called him.

At last she turned out the gas fire

and crept into bed and finally she slept. An instant later, it seemed to her, Marla was-in the room and draw- ing back the window curtains, light- ing the gas fire to warm her while she dressed and switching on the lights. She brought the morning cup of tea and a ceblcgram.

The message was from Howard. from Brussels.

“Have hoard rlbout poor Eddie," the message ran. "Greatly shocked. Deeply sorry. Love—l-iownrd."

And Howard had always disliked the little dance band conductor. so had Cemnne. Was there something
