I havea nice girl that I mean to marry some day, butI am too busy sowing my crop of wild oats to think of settling down just yet. Do you blame me? JOE. _ Answer--There is a Chinese pro- verb that fits your case admirably, "Don't wait to dig your well until -+you find yourself perishing with a = thirst,' ' INA ST. JOHN. * ' Dear Miss St. John: Our daughter Mary, aged fifteen, has a very wild girl friend. She is _ pretty and dresses like a peacock. _ She seems to dazzle Mary who is at the awkward age. We forbade their - friendship, but before long Mary was meeting the other girl around the corner, deceiving us. We de- cided to pay no attention so we would know where she was any- educated (music, etc., included). My father's income is small. Our cottage tiny, but lovely with flow- ers, etc. Mother is a lady in every way. She teaches us to be kind and courteous at all times. My sis- ter and I sometimes envy our neigh- bor's girls. They are pretty and dress like dolls. They live for pleasure--going and coming when and where they please. However, their parents have not taught them anything. Their deportment is any- thing but refined. They lead a very gay life, while we live quietly. Many evenings are spent ac home with our parents and friends, sing- ing, playing, listening to the radio, etc. We live so differently ! Which of us get the most out of life ?

Color has brought new charm to the home, and especially to the living room, where it is now used freely in combinations of harmonious tones of effects of days gone by. And when ings become a constant source of in- spiration. Never Make A Room All One Color We learned that color is reaily just to know, when we choose colors, whether the windows face north, south, east or west. Betty wanted a blue room and now shades of blue. The ceiling is pale blue. The furniture is blue with a handles to the drawers. 'The bed, table, chairs and curtains match -- blue flowers would be lovely too. You need a glowing color like rose, orange or tangerine to give a touch of warmth to the scheme. If you choose rose it sholud be a rose with a yellow tinge. | Of course, in selecting your warm colors, let them be lovely, delciate tints rather than strong shades. Re- member, they, too, will be always the same in the north light, because north light is not changed by the sun, Warm color should predomin- ate, however, over the cool, because you want a bright, cheerful room. Another lovely north-light combina- tion is yellow-green and pink. Never make a room all just one color. --Mary L. Hull. For color and charm, for variety and harmony, for distinction in domes- tic interiors -- in a word, for atmos- phere, we depend upon decorative textiles. Flors and ceilings and side walls we consider "backgrounds;" ac- cessories, such as lamps, vases, ash trays and bric-a-brac in general, we call "constant notes." It is the fabric 'utes. Then add the tomato soup, Salt and paprika. Cook the rice until tender in boiling water, and drain. Melt the butter, add the rice and cook for three min- the sauerkraut, the meat and stock, and cook for five minutes. Season well with salt and paprika, and serve piping hot as the main course of a meal. Sauerkraut and Mushrooms 1 pound of mushrooms. . 2 tablespoonfuls of chopped gree pepper. 1 can of sauerkraut : 7 Salt and pepper.
