Our Women and, Children Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards ONCE-OVERS. Suppose You Don’t Find Your Wife At Home Tonight? Old man, when you are out with the gang you frequently say that you have “the best little wife in the 'world.” You are in luck. She is far too good a woman for you. Say, why don’t you brace up and try to be worthy of her—of the sort of love, sacrificing love, which she gives you, and which must be par ticularly strong or she would not stick to a selfish old pill of your present speed. When did you ever put her com fort before yours? When did you ever give up some entertainment that she might go out and enjoy herself in the way she liked best? Did you ever think that maybe she won’t always be “the best little wife in the world” to you? Some night when she is waiting for you to come home, she may resolve to quit, because she may feel that you have so many others to consider be fore you give her any thought, that her going will not trouble you rpuch and will enable her to get more out of her own life. What could she do alone? Certainly could earn her board and keep—that is all you give her. A woman loves and needs compan ionship. Would she miss any if she left you tonight?—Exchange. A LIVELYGAME Marble time is here at last, Merry times for you; Even March and April clouds Play at marbles, too. First they take some drops of rain, Green and red and blue, Where the dancing sunbeams send Soarkles through and through. Then they hang them in the sky Where the winds that blow Freeze them hard and smooth and round, And as cold as snow. Then they roll them through the air To the earth below; And the little children ask, “How do hailstones grow?” —Ex. A FEW BEAUTY HINTS Here are some practical suggestions that will make any face beautiful: Learn to think; develop your intelli gence. An empty head can hardly produce or maintain real beauty of the face. Keep smiling; keep cheerful. Com pel the light of gladness on your face to make up for any lack on na ture’s part. Be thoroughly, genuinely unselfish. Don’t think about how you look, but about what you can do to make other people happy. Cultivate health. Do lots of work and take plenty of exercise. Live all you can in the open air. Use water generously inside and out. Forget all about your desire to be beautiful. Get enthusiastic about try ing to bring gladness to others. And then if you could hear what other people are saying about you when you are not near, you would find that they think you have found real beau ty.—The Christian Herald. ST.
