The Kceshond is fast becoming one oi the most popular of long- halred clogs, both for show purpose and a5 a. domestic pet. He is a very, old breed. and wa; known in Ger- many in the sixtzenth century. He was, in fact, f;rst exhibited at a

dog-show at Hamburg sixty years ago. The honour of introducing him to these imands belong to

Mrs. Winfgield-Dlby, who, when a school-girl on a. yachting trip in Holland before the war, acquired two delightful puppies for a few shillings from a Dutch bargee. In those days the Kzeshond was fre- suently employed as a barge-dog on the Dutch inland waierways, but nowadays. strange to say. he is seldom seem on tbese vessels.

The Keeshond is one cf the few dog; that have been adopted as the emblem of a po itlcal party. In the seventeenth century the Orange party in l-iollaru‘ adopted the Pug as their mascot. because a member of the brccd was said to have saved the king's life when he was in danger from a would-be as- sassins dagger Their blt‘cr op- ponents. the Republicans retorled ll‘l kind of adopting the Keeshond as a badge and it is claimed that the name itself is dzrived from 90111811115 (Kess for short) de Witt, a prominent. Republican leader

Others claim, however. that the dogs were known as "K2es“ long

bcfcrc their introduction to politics. and that in mediaeval Gcnnany term

bestowed upon them in the same way as “plclog" or "pariah" are applied to-day in the East to the outcasts of the canine world. As far as his German ancestry is concerned, there s mention cf a dog answering his description as early as the year i552, and there lslittle doubt that dogs of the Keeshond ,ersuasion were com- mon throughout the Low Countries in those far-off days. Many of the recent importatlons have come to Britain direct from Germany.

One of the Keesbonds chief rerommendatlons is that he wears well. Many breeds show signs of decrepitude in middle age. but the Keeshond usually maintains his vigour, alertness and good looks unimpaired until he is It least ten years old.

l Dorothy not Letter Box“

Marriage Is More Than Just a Business Con- tract + If You Cannot Put Love and Af- fection Into It, Then It Is Better Never To Go To The Altar

Dear Dorothy Dix-Is marriage simply an economic arrangement? Is a man u good husband if he is a good provider? Bhou‘d his wife be Sut- lsilecl if he has given her a comfortable home, food and 41103168. and suf- ficient amusement and recreation? Likewise, is a woman a good wife Just because she is a good housekeeper and cook and has kept I man's home clean and livable? If marriwfle is nothing but a business proposition, why should a man marry‘? He can provide for his physical needs much more easily and cheap- ly by living at a club or hotel and not be bothered by the idiosytwrfl-iifls oi a woman.

These questions arise to perplex a man who has tried to be something more than 8- good provider. He married a woman because he loved her and desired her love, and he would receive much joy from nllillfiLérlng to her soul and having some real companion- ship ‘with her. But she regards him appar- ently only as a breadwinner and feels that by being a good housekeeper. This letter middle-aged men whose wives believe but whose husbands look upon them

A PUZILLED MAN.

i» __ .

she has done her full duty might have been written by many

that they are odels of perfection,

as failures.

Answer: Man does not live by bread alone, Any marriage is a failure that

lacks the spiritual element and that is Just a bargain by which a woman gets a home and the man gets a homemaker.

If a man only wants some one to make him physically comfortable he can get that far cheaper in a club than he can by supporting a home. And if a woman wants merely a meal ticket she is a poor trader if Shc doesn't look out for one who will provide her with caviar and champagne instead of corned beef and cabbage. °

I do not think that many men marry because they want a- Servant, 0r that many women marry to get some one to support them. They marry because they crave love, because they want understanding, because they want sympathy and affection, and because they want somebody out of all the world to belong to them, to be their very own.

And. having married for these thinKS. the tragedy is that they forget them and mrike the bringing home oi the bacon and the frying of it “'1 of marriage. They are so concerned with paying the electric light, bill that they let the sacred flame burn out. on their altar for want of r6116“-

lshing the oil. They are so busy making money and cleaning the house that they never have time to sit down by the hearthstone and really talk to each other. '

The average man considers himself a good husband if he provides his wife with a nice home and- pretty clothes and a QOOd car. and if he is reasonably easy to get along with. And if these are not cncullh to make her happy he shrugs his shoulders and says that women are queer crea- tures and nobody can understand them and there 1s no satisfyin! mem-

For the life of him he can't see why a woman who is fed on fl‘ct mlg- , nen should complain because shc is heart hungry, or why one who has a ‘ mink coat should still long for a. little warm affection from her husband and be slowly freezing to death without it.

And many women consider that they are good wives when they B-rfl merely good housekeepers. In those sad cases in whch middle-aged huS- bands forsake their wives for “the other woman" the deserted wife al- ways calls upon Heaven to witness how well shc did her duty; how She pinched pennies and worked to help her husband get. a start; what a. good cook she was; what a thrifty manager; how tightly shc kept his buttons on and how neatly she darned his socks.

Boys Like Patterns in the Guardian WoncPer Package

The designs shown in illustration will delight any little boy and this s only one-half of the large sheets

The designs shown here have a great many uses, embroiderlng rompers, sailor suits, scarfs and decorating racks, chests, book ends, etc. They also can be trumferred to the leaves of I scrap book and used for "mlfly day" painting.

Do not use a hot iron to transfer these patterns, but just a little water and asllght rubbing with the bowl of a spoon. The children will derive as much pleasure and use of the package as the older mem-

But she never tells of giving him any spiritual sustenance. She never tells of how hard she tried to understand him; to cntcr into all of his hopes and plans; of her studying and reading to make herself littered-lull to him; of her being gay and tender and loving. Maybe the reason She doesn't, is because the woman who feed their husbands on the brczid 01 life don't lose them. Maybe it. is only after men have Starved along 0n husks that they jump the bars and go out hunting forbidden fruit.

Of course, in one sense marriage is a. business proposition because l! is a partnership in which a man and woman invest their al, and it 1S bound to be a failure if the man is not a good provider and the woman i5 not a good housewife. But it has to have something more than that W make it a success. It has to have love and SymPB-thy 11nd undersimd‘ ing and comradeship. It has to have angel's food as well as bread Mid

butter. I I I I I I

Dear Dorothy Dix-My sweetheart told me two days before the cere- mony that we would have to wait a little while; that she couldn't, marry me Just then. Now she tells me that I must wait a YSHr and then PBThBDS she will give me "no" for an answer. She gave no reason for this de-‘ay. and I have tried in vain to get to the bottom of the whole thing. It isn't her parents’ objection. It isn't money. So what on earth could it be She will not tell me, but told me to shut up and quit harping on the subiccl- Isn't it natural for a man to want to know why his sweetheart can't marry him? Should I submit in silence on the sublect. o!‘ Shvllld I dfimflnd the explanation I feel is due? TAIL-SPIN.

Garden lovers m; well represent- ed in our Royal Family today, and they include enthusiasts of all ages. . The question may well be asked‘ which member oi the Royal Family j owns the best gardens? A stronz

claim could be made for the King's

grounds at Fort Belvedere. but this, might with justice be challenged by] the Duke of York, whose gardens at I: Royal Lodge presented a wonder-

ful appearance last summer. When. the Duke and Duches of Kent‘ take over their new country home’ at Iver in Buckinghamshire they. will come into possession of the: beautiful gardens which were for; several years the great joy of Prin-I cess Victoria. The Princess passed. many happy hours among her: flowers. The gardens at Harewood‘ House are among the finest in

the north of England. while the

gardens oi Windsor Castle and
