SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1923 TO PROSPECTIVE BENEDICTS Young men about to become benedicts, be sure of one thing. When she and you go into town to spend the afternoon and a few dollars, she will want to look in all the windows that show dresses, hats, and other pieces of feminine apparel. When you two go stroll- ing down Michigan Boulevard, she will insist upon inspecting--not hastily, my young friend, but thoroughly and at length--every dress and hat displayed in the many, many windows You must share with her this minute investigation, not perfunc- torily, but with sincere sympathy. Do not hang back nor try to hurry her, by such impatient remarks as, "Aw, come on!" "Say, we can't stay here all day!" No, that won't do! Her eye catches sight of a particularly pleasing garment, and she exclaims, "Isn't that perfectly lovely? Don't you think that would be stunning on me?' When she thus exclaims, rise to the occasion. Remember all your experiences in the fields of mother's and sister's dresses; rouse your more tender emotions, quickly reply with some convincing evidence of your appreciation like "You sure would look fine in that!" Another admonition. If you and she are drawing near a show win- dow of a hardware store, a window bristling with most interesting ham- mers, wrenches, knives, and such; if such a window comes in view pass it by quickly, even though your masculine heart yearns for a closer and longer look at the won- derful display of radio parts. Let it be enough for you that she doesn't care for such things. Live up to this advice and you'll be a model husband. MOVIES We like the movies. They are restful and entertain- ing. The darkness and comfort- able seats soothe and refresh our tired mind and body Moreover, good pictures are not only easy to look at, but they stimulate and feed one's interest; they furnish both rest and entertainment. We could wish, however, that a higher level of value were main- tained. Sometimes we are disap- pointed by the obviousness and age of the plot and artificiality of the acting. Aren't there enough good films to go round? Usually, however, the show gives us a very pleasant hour or so. Not even our neighbor's popcorn chewing and remarks on the pic- tures have been so distracting and annoying as to keep us from want- ing to go again. So far as we now know we shall always be temperate movie fans. "RIGHT HERE" It's not uncommon for us to be so well acquainted, as we think, with the abilities and resources in general of members of our household and neighborhood, that we go long distances and pay big prices for things we could get more easily and cheaply near at hand. It's human nature to be- lieve that what costs more is worth more. As we were walking down the street the other day we over- heard one lady exclaim to an- other; "Why, over there at Blank's, I got exactly what I was looking for. See, here's some Ithread that's exactly what I want ifor my new gown. Just the size and shade. And here is some silk dress goods. Isn't the color lovely? And I got it right here in town! Why, I certainly thought I'd have to go to Chi- cago for it"! May we not learn from this true story to look about us, to save ourselves precious time and labor by taking the thing within easy reach rather than the thing some distance off? Moreover, the very use of these neighboring resources will increase them, so that in the future we shall find them even more exactly adapted to our needs. See what you can get in your own business district before you take the train for Chicago. Try out your drug stores, dry goods stores, bakeries, hardware stores, groceries, all of your local shops. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? Is it not true that when you en- gage a man or woman through an employment agency, you take for granted that the person so engaged is to some degree recommended by the agency? Would you give them the run of your house if you didn't assume vouched for their character? Yet, perhaps, when this man or woman commits some petty theft in your home and you want to hunt up the individual and recov- er your goods, you will find that the agency knows next to noth- ing about the thief; has practic- ally no office records of the man's or woman's antecedents. Then there follows for you a long and tiresome search; perhaps the person is found, perhaps not. Why not pass an ordinance re- quiring employment agencies to be licensed and to obtain from every applicant full and accurate information regarding his or her industrial career previous to ap- plication? Such an ordinance would protect all the customers of these agencies and would lessen crime. MOTORISTS DON'T LIKE PEOPLE That live on corners and don't trim their shrubbery. That drive across busy streets without slowing up at the crossing. That leave broken glass in the street. That pass them from the rear and turn to the right too sharply in front. That use glaring headlights un- necessarily. That crawl along on a crowded highway. That speed up as soon as some- body tries to pass them. Only a few of these left. That leave their cars standing out in front after dark, without lights. That swipe pliers. One thousand children in the Flag Parade on July Fourth! One can almost hear Teddy Roosevelt's "Dee-lighted!" What a text this sight of a thousand children would have furnished for one of his celebrated speeches on Race Suicide! No race sui- cide in Winnetka! LIME JUICE If you always tell the exact truth you may lose the ability to notice the difference between oc- casions when it's good to tell the truth and when it isn't. Don't pay your bills too promptly; if you do, you'll get a reputation which it will be hard to live down. Don't be so conceited as to think that when you have trouble the gods have it in for you. Never do to-day what you can put off till tomorrow, unless you have to hurry. Talk about your neighbors; otherwise you can't understand them. Nobody can say what he means ; the meaning is up to the other fellow.
