He made you all fair, You in purple and gold, You in silver and green, Till no eye that has seen Without love can behold. - * * Es Dear Miss St. John: (1)--Is it necessary to be polite in this day and age? (2)--If so, how is it done? RODNEY. Answer: (1)--Yes, Rodney, I think it is just as necessary to be polite in the pre- sent day as it was in Victorian times. For politeness is really kindness and 'eonsideration for others--molded into conventional terms. : (2) --A polite person treats others as if they were ideal people. He _ ig- nores all rudeness shown him, and treats others as he would wish them to treat him. i Ina St. John. * cs * Dear Miss St. John: I am a young married woman with plenty of time on my hands. I have; corresponded. for years with two young men. One is an old school friend (married last month). The other is a resident of New York who writes a very amusing letter. My husband has never known of my cor- respondence, and my sister says when he does find out he will "see red." He is very quick tempered and stiff about things. As both these young men are mere friends of mine, has he the right to stop our correspondence? ae : ANNETTE. Answer: Well Annette, I can only ask you to put yourself in the place of that bride -. of a month. How would you like to discover that your husband was in- terested enough in a married woman to correspond with her? Circumstances always alter cases, and I:am sure you are merely passing - "the time in your letter writing. But "do find some more wholesome pas- time. Interest yourself in sport or in charity, etc. Life is too short to. waste. Ina St. John. a e676 'Dear Miss St. John: - My daughter is just sixteen. She is still at school and her father and I have a great objection to. her running around with boys for a few years yet. I have just found out that she attends places of amusement etc--not with other girls as we thought--but with boys whom she meets secretly. What can we do? She is:high spirited and I fear to drive her away from home. But if her father finds out she is de- ceiving us it will be a serious matter.

For draw curtains used to mean unsightly sagging cords that knotted and tang- led, and rings that grated noisily and uncertainly over a round brass rod. Draperies or curtains now can be drawn or opened at the touch of a hidden cord... .cords cannot tangle, rings cannot stick... silken folds glide silently and surely into place, closing always at. the centre and overlapping to insure absolute priv- acy. Yet all this utility is wholly con- cealed from the eye. * * * "WHAT COLORS ARE BEING USED?" Over draperies add color and beau- ty to the reoms in which they are hung. It is not necessary to use ex- actly the same colors in the draperies that appear in the rugs, walls and furniture coverings.
