D. _ My husband died ten years ago. I MIRROR CUPID'S CORNER Address all letters to Miss Ina St. John, Mirror Office. Answers will appear the week following your barn Dear Miss St. John: We have a man boarding with us. Since he came (about a year ago) everything has been arranged for his taste. My little girls and I have to take pot luck. I work at night and lately they have been leaving the chil- dren with a neighbor and going off together quite often. My salary is small, so unless we have his board money my wife will have to do with- out the nice clothes she likes. As she is some years younger than I am and is very pretty, I hate to be hard on her. But I am thinking of asking her to give the boarder notice. Am I right? Discouraged. Answer: Why not give the boarder notice yourself and insist on your rights as head of the household! No man with red blood in his veins would take second place in his own home. Ina St, John. Dear Miss St. John: When a girl has passed her thir- tieth birthday and is very fond of home life and hates going to work don't you think she is wise to accept a man who can supply the home, even if she does not love him? I know he would make a good husband. I have been in love several times but some- thing always happened to end my ro- mance. I like the man very much and I want a home of my own. : Marjory. Answer: Well,.Marjory, since yoU|_What about it, Miss St. John? have been in love so often it is evident that your heart is a very adaptable possession. And you desire a home of your own so ardently I believe that wishes to make your dreams come true. The "Corner" wishes you all joy. Ina St. John. Dear Miss St. John: The dog I have had for six years was killed last week. He was my friend and pal as I have no children. My wife is rather glad to be rid of the dog as she is not fond of animals. So I can't explain to her that home is a mighty lonesome place without my dog. I hate to stay at home now. My wife is getting suspicious of my outings. Our home is far from happy. Can you suggest a remedy? te BD: Answer: It seems to me that a man whose heart is big enough to mourn a! some homeless boy. Talk it over with your wife. A young life would bright- en your home and you would both en- joy doing such a good deed I am sure. s Ina St. John. Dear Miss St. John: son's education. He is about to marry. He says they will live with me and his wife will continue to work. How- ever, I happen to know that the girl objects to this plan. An old friend of my husbanX\ has asked me to marry him. I feel that I would be happy making a home for him. But I fear to hurt my son's feel- ings by seeming to slight his father's memory. Please advise me, Mother. Answer: You know the homely ex- pression "Plgase yourself and one per- / son will be pleased." Don't you think there is a great deal of truth in that? hope of happiness only to discover later on that the sacrifice was not necessary. The young people will be happier alone. : If you desire to remarry, you would do well to please yourself in the mat- ter. Ina St. John. Dear Miss St. John: My twentieth birthday has just pas- sed and my boy friend is two years older. I am not out of work, so if he proposes, as I expect he will, I have just about decided to say "Yes," though I could never love anyone like him. However he is a good pal and if I marry him I will have a good home, so my troubles will be over Bess. Answer: If you think that marriage without love will end your troubles, Bess, you are the world's worst guess- er. When you go into married life on that ticket your real troubles will be- gin. You are too young to think that the little winged god has passed you by. And if he finds you married, what a catastrophe that will be! Financial troubles are bad enough. But unhappiness and poor health are many times, worse. Do wait until you meet a man you can love, Bess, Ina St, John.

In kitchen furnishing there have been, so far, three distinct periods. In the first period, the watchward was economy and the guilding spirit utility. In the second era, aesthetics entered with a motto of beauty and color. In the third, or present condition of kit- chen affairs, the standard to be achieved is efficiency, which includes the merits of the two preceding per- iods, Everyone remembers the old days when kitchens were large, with enor- mous and very heating cook stoves oc- cupying the best part of one wall. Cooking utensils were invariably black _ jron, with grey enamel or granite were by way of novelty. Sometimes, too, there were tins which no scrubbing Hy _ powder on earth could make bright and shining. In the pantry was a - veritable battery of stout ironmongery which made women's backs ache to lift; their virtue was that they lasted 'go long. Frequently they were pass- wir sh: ost S tat ed from one generation to another. Tables had wooden tops that were _ hard to keep clean and necessitated frequent scrubbing. Stoves were pol- _ fished at regular intervals with lamp - black polishes; their huge ovens open- ed nearly to the floor. So tired did "people become from stooping to peer into their depths that on baking days little else could be done. The expanse of kitchen floor was so great that after cooking the customary three Pane fos meals the housewife had traversed literally miles by nightfall when the last cup was hung up and the last - dish put upon the shelf, With the modern idea of having everything as easily cared for as pos- _ gible ,the floor is covered with waxed - inlaid linoleum which can be dusted with a mop or, at worst, washed with of the modern woman's demands--that the same mild soapsuds as are used for fragile silks. This meets another in keeping house efficiently she need ----s not. ruin her hands with strong soaps zs and hot water. BABE RECALLS HIS MANY EXPERIENCES Three World Series Exploits Are Tabulated as the Most Thrilling (BY ALAN GOULD) (Associated Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 2 (AP) -- It isn't because he has read much of Rudyard Kipling's poems that Babe Ruth has seldom siopped to consid- er the work he has done. The slugger whose exploits take up page after page of baseball's record books does not go in much for self-analysis or retrospeclion. Things happened Aver 2: FOR. oF against the Babe. He 'doesn't fuss about the reasons or live on re- miniscences. Consequently it was something like prying candy away from a small boy te get him to conccntrate cn an examination of his big lea- gue recovd and list as his most thrilling diamond experiences: 1. The 2--1 victory he pitched for the Red Sox ove1 Brooklyn in the 1916 world series. holding the Dodgers scoreless after the first inning and beating Sherrod Smith in a 15-inning battle, longest game ever played in the championship round 2. The one-hand running catch he made off Frankie Frisch for the last out in the fourth and last game of the 1928 world series, ab- ruptly ending a desperate rally by the St. Louis Cardinals in their heme park. 3. The dramatic home run he hit off Charley Root in the third game of the 1932 world serits at Chicago a tremendous clout over the centre- field barrier, his second of the game ana a blow tha: knocked out of the box besides knocking the last lingering resistance out of the Cubs. At the time it did not occur to Ruth that he had, offhand, named three events that promptly em- phasized his amazing versatility, first as a great southpaw pitcher, later as a brilliant defensive out-" fielder and, lastly, as the most des- tructive batsman in the history of the game. Most of his pitching equipment, the Babe recalls consisted of a fast.ball, a faster one and pretty good control. But for that matter, he asks, what ¢lse did Walter Johnson have in his prime? or Lef- ty Grove" . "They don't try to do much with a curve until they feel theraselves shipping.' comments the Babe.
