"And 1 certainly would stay except that Dad may call me up long distance at school Saturday. I can't reach him now with a telegram because he's traveling." Aunt Alice didn't urge Joan further. She knew how eager her niece was to see the partic ular musical comedy for which the matinee party had been arranged. Joan liked the fun snd excitement of parties as well as any other seventeen-yearold girl, And the theatre was her delight. Joan's boarding school was fifty miles distant from the city where she had been spending the one week of her Spring vacation with her Aunt Alice. 'Her home a thousand miles away. The original schedule for her visit had been from Friday to Friday. Then came the luncheon- matinee invitation. At this point the telegram from Joan's father arrived: "May see you at school Saturday. If not will call you there long dis- tance." "lf Dad waits over a train and comes to see me, or even calls up long distance, he'll be disap pointed if I'm not there. I'm not going to risk that." Joan wasn't a martyr. She didn't pride herself on taking a nobly unselfish stand. She felt no pleasure in the world could compare with that of pleasing one of her dear family and hav- ing a moment's chat with her dad. Example is better than precept. Joan has the good luck to be born into a family where the parents, while far from perfect, are con- siderate of each other and treat their children with respect. Au- thority is tempered with kindly good humor in her home. Little wonder the whole family enjoy life and are truly fond of each other. Little wonder that Joan instinctively thinks in terms of good-humored tolerance, con- siderateness and content. Marriage may be at best an un- certain proposition, yet it's safe to predict that tem years from "iow Joan will be as contented and happy in her married life as she is to-day in her girlhood. Contentment enables one to en- joy to-day at its best and expect the best of to-morrow. It keeps one mentally receptive of all good tentment is g gift we can culti- . vate. Many girls believe 'that ro- mance and marriage when they arrive will prove the cureall for $ The average marriage that fails does so because both par ties expect and demand too much and contribute too little in the: way of self-sacrifice, good humor and contentment. When {it comes to making a success of marriage with all its difficult problems and adjust- ments the girl who is selfish and self-indulgent hasn't a chance in the world. The time to begin to prepare to make a tremendous success of your marriage is now while you are a young girl. Be practical-- be contented -- be considerate-- make the most of life as you find it. Try to see the loveli- ness in people--it's always there. Follow the advice of the sage old epigram, "If you can't change your Dboarding-bouse, change your mind." You'll always be contented and happy if you have resources for happiness within yourself. And when romance and marriage come into your experience, you will be a loved wife, who will do "good and not evil unto her hus band all the days of her life." SECRETS OF HEALTH y Charles A.L. Reed, M. Former President of the American Medical Association. Why You Should Make Every Effort to Exterminate the Cockroach. OUR home may or not be Y infested with cockroaches, If not, you are fortunate beyond the average of mankind. This ancient, but never respect able, insect has always been looked upon as something be- tween a nuisance and a pest. It has been combatted on that basis rather than upon the basis upon which the campaign against the house fly has been waged. The house fly has been caught red handed in the act of carry ing disease germs from sick peo- ple to well people. As soon as this carefully cultivated "house pet" was convicted under this in. dictment, he was subjected to a war that had and has for its ob- ject nothing less than his exter mination. And now it is the turn of the cockroach. As I pointed out in this column some time ago, it bas been circumstantially estab lished that the cockroach is the carrier of the infection of cancer. This is interesting in view of the fact that in upper New York all makes her heart beat fastest. Money, charm, I= 80 hard for a girl to really tell which of them good looks, nice disposition--each has its thrill. But which does she really like the very best? Perhaps some day science will discover the wavelength of love and some inventor will perfect an apparatus to determine true love. But even then--well, static has a bad habit of breaking in on the most perfect set-- still, true love always finds a way.--POPINI.

"It shows an investigative turn of mind," they said. "Probably Petey'll grow up to be an ex- plorer and Peggy a scientist or something." But it wasn't so delightful when they grew older and tore an expensive rug to pieces, 'cause they "wanted to see the threads come out." After that nothing was safe. Petey drove nails into the shiny new library table and all but sep- arated the plano from one of its legs experimenting with his new tool-kit. Peggy cut up a lovely Chinese panel, the pride of mother's heart, to make a doll dress. And, ac- cording to Hilda of the kitchen, it was Peggy who deliberately upset and smashed to splinters a beautiful crystal vase. r "The rampagin' little imps," sputtered Hilda. "Oh, not imps, Hilda," said Mother, tearfully. "But they are destructive and something must be done!" 80 she told her troubles to a children's specialist, who as- sured her that all children are destructive, some more and some les 8. "All little animals are destruc tive," he declared. "That's why puppies chew up shoes. Shoes don't make good eating, but they're excellent for tearing pur poses. "Animals!" gasped Mother, of- fended. "Why certainly," dren are until they're old enough to develop a moral sense, or the knowledge of right and wrong. You can help your children, if you wish, by giving them the feel of responsibility, They will ac- quire it quickly through pride of possession." Then he outlined a plan. And Mother passed the plan along to the children. Daddy and herself, she explained, had decided to give them all the pretty things in the house, divid- a8 everything equally between em. Would Peggy like the piano. All right, then. It was hers. Yes, Petey could have the vie trola. And the rugs? Well, sup posing Peggy took the one in the library and Petey the one in the living room. Fine. NOW--were they happy? Rh lll a
