W OMEN’S SELF-PITYING HABIT IS CALLED VERY DEMORALIZING

Chief Offenders Are The Middle - Aged Who Often Blame Husband For Tears

__i..._ If there is one reform that is needed more than any other it is a; our. women of being sorry for themselves. The self-pltying habit is every whit as demoralizing as the dope habit and it is a lot harder on the fam- ily and friends of the addict. The morphine taker and the drunkard have their moments of sobriety. or they can be clapped into n. sanatcrium where onl_\' tlicse who are paid for it have to listen to their moans. where- as there is no escape from the weeper. She is always on the spot. suiting down with her tears everybody with whom she comes in contact.

Chief among these weepers are middle-a ed women. There is not a mail that doesn't br ng me a score of brine-soaked letters from melan- choly ladies who tell their troubles and ask me to mingle my tears with theirs. Sometimes the writer sobs out that she is the most miserable creature in the world because her husband takes her for granted. I-Ie is good and kind and gen- emus and faithful. but he never tells her he loves her. and she doesn't want to be fed on roast beef and potatoes: she is starving for loliypops.

HEAVY SCENTS NOT AGREEABLE

Overheard k1 an elevator s - ping to let an attractive, wei. dressed girl get off at the ball- rccm floor wihere many women were gathered for a war-work meeting: “Well. I guess everybody she knows gave her something smelly for college graduation — and she feels she has to put Cll a littie dab of each when she zors somewhere importent "

A man said it His small audi- ence snickered

The remark didn't mark him as a tolerant gentleman, but his rsac. tion certainly was justified.

Increases Scent

Really, it's a seiizus mistake to use heavily perfumed ccsmrtics in different scents Esnec alfiy in this hot weather when ‘hey seem to steam out and become overwhelm- ing to others. No subty lovely ef-

ct can be created by using a bath powder in one fragrance. per- fume in another. make-up in still another.

Gardenia may suit you perfect- ly and be captivating in itself. but, combined with jasmine, a mixed bouquet, a spicy pne scent, an exotic attar of scmethlng or other, it just won't do.

So, no matter how intrgued you are your psi-fume, don't apply it lavishly for daytime, or for that matter, fcr eveninz either. Perfume, like rouge, is most effec. tiva when used sparingly.

Lighter Odour:

If you feel that your favourite essence is too heavy or expensive for daytime, consder buying toilet water in matching odour That way you get a great d=ai mcre for the money than went into pf!‘- fume, and You don't have the worry about too-lavish fragrance.

Sm business women invari- ably use toilet water or gologne

FACIAL MUSCLES NEED EXERCI SE

Women whose hands and limbs are busier, now are discovering something that is ailJmportant to keeping their faces young. They're learning that action—-use—is wliat keeps muscles youthful and vigor-

ous.

Thisisiustastrue ofyouxfaoe. rt. is inaction of the facial muscles and consequent shrinking and shriveling that’ makes the face. in- cluding the skin, sag.

The skin is not s0 fragile. deli- cate, tender as has been supposed generally. It ls sturdy, elastzc, al- most impervious to liquids. Even drawn or wrinkled, old-looking faces have fairly gocd skin.

So why not put those facial muscles into action with home facials and massage? The woman who does this, stimulating and ex. excising the muscles below the skin surface, isn't likely to have a sag- ging face before she's 50. _

CHAPTER. XXII JWhos, Bluebell — steady old

Evan rained in the chestnut mm and swung into the saddle. Be nt- tled himself, but seemed distinctly nervous as the animal danced be- neath him.

Anne, mounted on Bonnie, said, "Bluebell hasn't been ridden for weeks. She's a bit spirited."

As they rode out of the stable yard. she could see that Evan's mount was still giving him trouble. She thought of the last time she had seen Mont astrlde the same horse With what quiet skill he had handled the lively marel Evan slui- ply hadn't the knack.

en Evan, after dinner, had hinted that he would like to go for a ride with her. she had accepted the suggestion with some misgivings. She wanted an opportunity to talk to him alone, yet she feared Mont might not like their going off to- gether.

The meeting between the two men hadn't gone well at all. There had been an undeniable tenslmLThls had continued throughout dinner. In fact, Linda was the only person at the table who had seemed perfectly at ease. Mont had been pleasant enough but. several times. Anne had caught him eying Evan rather re- sentfully. Then. immediately after dinner. he had announced that he had to go into Breckenridge and had departed. Anne had thought it a bit rude. Couldn't he have postponed his errand until a time when they didn't have guests?

"Let's ride over to the back part of the place," suggested Evan. "It's been a long time since you and I have done that, Anne."

“Yes-a long time," she agreed absently, still thinking of Mont, try- ing to decide whether or not he re- sented Evan's presence at Fleetwooc.

They followed a narrow lane which skirted a pasture fence. After a mile or so, they entered a section sf woods and rode along a winding

At length. Evan halted under I hickory tree draped with wild grapsvines. Near by. was a little spring that gurgled from the ground under a canopy of twisting vines.

"Our picnic grounds." he said. smiling reminiscently, “Shall we get down for a while?"

They dismounted and hitched their horses to a tree

Seated beside the spring, Anne thought of another summer after- noon when she and Evan had visited this spot. He had told her of his love that day and had asked her to marry him. She had put him off, saying that she wanted to wait a while-to have a try at a career be- fore settling clown. But it had been a magic afternoon. She remembered how deeply she had been stirred. Now the magic was gone. Here was the same Evan, but he no longer had the power to move her. With a stick. he poked a hickory nut about among the leaves on the ground.

"When were you married?" he asked suddenly.

“The middle of June."

Anne found herself telling him of Mom's coming to Pleetwcod in April and of the events which had led up to their marriage. l-le was silent a while. then said, " 1d Linda tell you I'd broken my engagement?"

She caught her breath, glanced at him quickly. Why should the breaking of his engagement to Pam- ela Gordon mean anything to her now? And. yet, she was conscious of a certain satisfaction that the girl who had taken him from her had been unable to hold him. Though thethogghtzqgthtggepgageijqent had
