lat a time when thousands of

feathered migrants are pouring into the country it is interesting to recall the long journeys many of them make. Observers, experiment- lxigwith marked birds over a. num- ber of years, find that the swallow is the greatest traveller. Not in- frequently swallows have been found to fly a distance of from 7000 to 8000 miles to their winter quarters during September, and to cover the some distance in spring on their, return to this country. `

The sandplper, curlew, and gold-

en plover will' travel from 6000 to '1000 miles. while the cuckoo, corn- crake, sedge-warbler, turtle dove, and lapwing have been known to travel between 3000 and 5000 miles from their winter quarters to reach their summer haunts in the British Isles. Beside these, the black tern and woodcock are modest voyagers, their journey seldom covering more than 1500 miles, and frequently it is under 1000.-H. D.

Crushed pastels are featured in the collection of 56 fall silk shades issued fn card form by the Textile Color Card association. These hazy pastels, it was explained by Mar- garet Hayden Rorke, managing di- rector, are the actual tones ob- tained by crushing the pastels or crayons used by artists.

Included in the group are crush-

ed rose, ambergold, LaTour blue, coraldust, mistgreen, rustlnt, ash- blu, mulberry rose, woodlilac and mosstone. The fall shades com- prise the "Arabian Nights" group, which reflect the Hindu, Persian and other eastern influences of dominant fashion importance.

Is Man _Who Lets Wife Work After Marriage Lacking in Backbone? - If You Wait for Prince Charming You’ll Wait For- ever, Dorothy Drx Warns Too-

Romantic Girl a

Dear Dorothy Dlx-I am engaged to be married io the dearest boy in

the w0rld- We expect to be married soon. with the understanding that I will continue working for a. year or two until he is earning enough to

support us both. Recently a man has warned me against my marriage. I-le says that a. man who will get married without being able to support a wife has no backbone and will never amount to anything. Do you think that my working after marriage will injure the morale of my fiance? Do you think it will be right for us to marry while we are still madly in love and get along on our com- bined salaries, or will it be wiser for us to wait for several years until he is earning enough for us both? Neither of us are afraid. We woh’t live in poverty if we get married now, but we will be dependent upon my salary as well as his.

G. R. B.

Answer:

advice is to take your courage and your two pay envelopes in both and go along and get married while you are still young and your fresh and ardent. As I have said many times in this column, cake should be eaten while it is hot from the oven. It gets stale

if kept too long on the shelf. ' _ Even romance has to be nourished and sheltered. A bride and bride-

groom must eat and have a roof over their heads, so if they cannot rake up enough money between them to rent a room and Provide bread and cheese to go with their kisses, they must needs put off marriage until they can pay' the piper. But when a boy and girl between them are earning

even the most modest of homes the make a mistake in

the pieces. When the jar has beeni

enough to finance ` y waiting to marry until the man can alone support the whole establish-

l'll€ll.

For they not only cut themselves out of the years of happiness they

might have had together, but they doom themselves to go through the dreary ordeal of a long engagement, which is trying on the affections and the nerves and the principles. And at the last they flud that their belated wedding has somehow lost the thrill they expected of it, and they go into it with something of the disiilusion of married people. It is only the eyes of youth that ever see the golden glory and the circling wings of love.

There is no other more foolish thinking than that which makes people

believe, as many do who have not rightly considered the subject, 'that it shows a man is lacking in strength of character for him io permit his wife _to continue on with her job after marriage. Every man expects his wife to be a helpmeet. That is what the Bible adjures a woman to be, and every woman who is worth her salt expects and desires to help her hus- band. If she can do this better by earning money than she can by :ook- ing and scrubbing for him, certainly it is the most sensible thingto do. Why it should weaken a husbands morale for his wife to work outside of the home any more than init, nobodycan explain, yet those who criticize a wife for helping her husband by working at a mahogany-topped desk would applaud her slaving over a gas range.

Of course, ,the ideal order of things is for every man to be able to

support his family in comfort and for the woman to be able to stay- at home and devote all of her time and energy to rearing children and run- ning the do)-nestic end of the partnership. But, unfortunately, conditions are not ideal in these upset times and often it takes both the man and the woman, especially when they are young and before the man has had time to establish himself, to make enough money .to keep a marriage a going concern.

It is, than, no reflection on either party for the wife to help bring in

the bacon. I have always felt that one of the chief things that the mod- ern girl had to be thankful for was that she was financially independent; that she could keep on with her job after marriage and so could marry while she was young and in love, instead of having to spend dreary years waiting for her fiance to make enough money to support her.

Doubtless there are some men who are lazy and shlftless and who

turn quitters when they find their wives can support the family, but for most men the sight of their wives bravely working in order to help them is a spur in the sides cf their ambition that makes them put forth every ef- fort to succeed, so that the "little woman" can stay in the home they know she pines for. DORDTI-lY DIX.

Dear Dorothy Dix-I am a business girl, quite attractive and with a

good job. My problem is this: All my liie I have dreamed about n toll. handsome man whom I expected to meet some day and marry, but I find myself engaged to a young man who is neither tall nor handsome. I must say that he is everything any one could want. He Ls kincl, thoughtful, lov- ing. We have more or less the same education. Like the same books and are quite companionabie. But while he is devoted to mc, 1 only care for him in a lukewarm fashion. We are to be married soon, but I hesi- tate because I am wondering if I am going to be happy married to a man who is.n’t my ideal and who doesn't thrill me and lf, perhaps, I may meet some one after I am married who will be everything 1 dreamed about and whom 1 will fall in love with at first, gs people do in stories, Is it better to marry a. man who loves you and who would give you a comfortable home than it would be to spend your life looking for some one who may not exist? . ' MAG.

An wer: _

*My dear child, don't you know that every girl that ever lived has this

name dream of marrying a Fairy Prince who is tall and slim und has gold- an curls and a Gieek profile and a romantic line, who makes violent and impassioned love and snatches the poor little Dumb Belle up in his arms and carries her off to live in unimaginable splendor, where they have noth-

ingtto do but to eat ice cream and dance and have a perpetual petting par y?

A girl begins seeing this vision about the time she becomes boy-cou-

scious, and she goes on thrilling over it until the HERO'S picture is obliter- ated by that of some stocky, frecklc-faced, double-listed lad who hasn't an ounce of sentiment in him, but who somehow is her man whom she mar- ries and lives with happily ever after.

You see, most girls have enough gumption and enough sense of

humor to perceive after they are grown up that the figure of their girllsh dreams was just something that they cTmjured up out of their own fancies, and they laugh at it and get over it and realize that they could;-rt have stood to live with a godiing even lt they had found him. And so no harm is done and they have enjoyed their bit of romance.

But you have taken your adolescent fancy seriously. You sent up an

impossible standard that no mortal mann could possibly measure up to, and if you are going through the world still looking for your ideal, even after you are married, you are certainly headed for trouble.

For a woman with as much imagination as you have will always be

thinking that she has found her hero, and before she finds out that she is mistaken she will have landed in the divorce court.

My advice to you is not to marry until you find some man who looks

CHAPTER 13

“Now who's been talking to you?" ,

Mark smiled. He found himself. rather enjoying this direct ap-

proaoh.

"My customers," Nan replied.

“You know how women gab about such things. I suppose I'1l be losing

out io you soon enough."

“Then you‘re in business here?"

Mhrk ventured.

"'I’hat's a blow. And' I haven’t a

card with me. Sure I'm in business. Have a. beauty works up on the avenue . . . Le Salon Nanette. That’s because I'm French. Bom in Bayonne _ . _ New Jersey."

"I see. Then we’re competitors." "Well, I don't know as I'd go

that far. Spent much time in that beauty parlor of yours at the store?" »

“Havent so much as stuck my

head in the door," Mark confessed hastily. “Why? Does it need the modemizing touch?"

“I never knock anybody who's

trying to get along. But if you can use some up-to-date ideas _ _ _ drop in and get an eyeful of my plant. Any tlme."

"I’ll do it.’ 'he assented gravely.

"I think thats a very fair offer. Don't you, Miss Sawyer?

“Of course," .lean answered

soberly. “Nan is like that."

Mark had a feeling that the girl

found herself rather ill at ease in his company and was glad to have Miss Gamble take over the burden of conversation in her gay brusque fashion. She amused him greatly, but he was rapidly revising his first estimate oi’ her. He believed he understood how Jean might easily rely upon this older wolnan's ex- perience and judgments, frankly expressed as some of them were. A unique character, he decided.

It was Nan who terminated the

visit in her impetuous fashion as she snatched up the check with one hand, gloves and bag with the other.

“Guess we‘d better be shoving

off," she announced, “I promised G0l‘8eous . . _ the girl friend here _ _ . I'd` let her go home early if sheid wait and have a bite with

me.

Jean already had risen with a.

murmur of acquiescence, when Mark decided upon a bold step.

"I treated myself to a new car

i.he other day,’ 'he remarked cas. U11Uy~ "It's parked across the street. May I have the pleasure of taking you ladies wherever you're going?"

"1 110110 to tell youl" Nan fairly

beamed at him. “You might as well find it out now as any time. My feet hurt . _ . lI.'s chronic."

“I think I’ll walk home," Jenn

interposed hastily. “It isn't far. Thank you just the same."

“You‘ll do nothing of the sort,"

Nan decided. Then she added wick- edlv. "You and Mr. stu:-get can run me home first. I haven't given you a chance to visit with him yet."

“Of course," Mark agreed. end-

ing the discussion by starting in quest of his car. He was back in a few minutes sitting behind the wheel oi’ a gray coupe. “Which way?" he inquired, when his two passengers were stowed.

“To the shop for mine." Nan

directed. 'I’ve a two and bath over it. Saves walking."

The trip up the avenue was

quickly made and Sturges brought his machine to a halt before the Le Salon Nanette. '

"You have an attractive place,"

he observed.

"Not a had little dump," its own- er agreed. Don't forget what I said about dropping in some day and lookingus vovsr. Good night.

.“Thank you. And I’li remember

that invitation, Miss Gamble.”

..okBy_..

"Isnt she fun?" Mark asked

rather impulsively as he set the

car in motion. “I like her!

"I'm glad," Jean said simply.

“Nan is the best friend I have. When you really know her, she's rather . . . wonderful. I don't know what I would do without

her."

Sturges gave her a quick glance.

'I‘he expression of her face had changed. It was alive, eager.

"I fancy you're rather loyal to

your friends.” he remarked abrupt- ly. Then, before she could answer: “Everything moving along all right on the Job?" .

"Oh, yes." "Miss Gamble seems to think

you’re overdoing a. bit."

Jean laughed. "She was making

fun of me.”

“I feel relieved thenl Miss

Sawyer _ . . "

“yew , ‘Did you mean what you said

about being in a hurry to get home tonight? Thought perhaps you'd'go for a little drive and see how this bus performs.”

“Thank you. I'd love lt. But I

must go home."

"Sorry. Are we headed in the

right direction? I forgot to ask?"

‘It's the second street after this

next one." '

Mark lapsed into silence. He had

wanted to have a talk with this girl. but he had the uncomfort- able impression she was holding him at a distance. Why, he wob- dered? His reflections were inter- rupted' by a light touch on his arm.

“Please let me out at this cor-

ner, M.r. Sturges. It’s a one~wny street." _

"Bo it is. Never mind. We’ll drive

around the square."

"Please don't, It’s only a few

steps for me." Jean had her hand on the door latch as she spoke, so Sturges swung his carover to th

his seat. "Thank you very much for bringing me home."

“Not at all. Miss Sawyer. may

ask you about your father7"

“Of course." "I was wondering if he had been

able to establish any connection yet. Perhaps he hasn't tried."

"I’m afraid he hasn’t." The

brown eyes clouded a trifle."

“I’m rather a stranger here. But

I have some acquaintances, ci course. If there is anything I could do for Mr. Sawyer _ , _ ’

"Daddy will appreciate your

asking. So do I. Good night.” She gave him a quick smile and hurried away, leaving him looking after her retreating figure. He believed he und'erstood~

A glance about the nearest houses

strengthened the impression. Miss Sawyer had been sensitive over the discovery of her home surround- ings.

As if that made any difference.

O O O

Sturges glanced up with a frown

as his telephone sounded its sub- dued buzz. He placed the instru-

ment ot his ear. his hand going out for a pencil at the same t me.

"Personal call, Mr. Sturges. Will

There was a click. Silence. Mark sat without moving until a. dis- oreet inquiry from the operator re- ,calied him. Susplciously polite. 3' "Never mind! he said shortlyi He placed the instrument on its stand with more force than was necessary.
