fktt, By Dorothy Dix sL Dmy I Girl Most of the Misfit Marriages Are the Results of Young People Sot Having Enough Experience With the Opposite Sex to Learn to Know Them LISTEN, girls! Have a new beau every day. Change the Boy Friend as often as you do your hat and your hair do. Get acquainted with all the different styles and types of boys uiira kiiu anon, ones, iac ones ana nun ones, blondes and brunettes, good lookers and homely ones, those who have a line and those who choke on their Adam's apple when they try to jolly a girt to see which one you really like the best and which one blends the best with your own particular taste and disposition. That is the advice that a distinguished professor gives to the (iris of teen age in a coed university. And he farther roes on to aay that the more experience that young people have in love, the better their lives will be; that mothers shouldn't try to keep their young daughters from falling in love.

They shoud encourage bread and butter romances and Mamie and Sadie having a fresh "pash" at least once a week. Have a new beau every day. These are words of wisdom that I trust every girl who reads these lines will cut out and paste in her compact where it will be continually (Copyright, 1930 Vv4 4 vV? before her eyes, for the biggest mistak that a girl ever makes is in letting some boy monopolize her and segregate her from the crowds before she ever has a chance to look 'em over and see which one really hits her fancy. Don't make that mistake. Don't tie yourself down to Tom before you have given Dick and Harry, Percival and Augustus a whirl.

Play around with Just as many lads as you can because that is the only way you can get to know anything about men, get wise to their little tricks and manners, and so be able to compare them and decide which is the moat desirable. Or, at any rate, which one you want for keeps. Most of the misfit marriages that end in divorce are the result of young people not having had enough experience with members of the opposite sex to be able to judge whether they were shoddy or all wool and a yard wide and guaranteed not to shrink or lade in the wash of everyday living. All boys and girls look alike to them, so they take the first one who la handsome and "amusing," as the salesladies say, and regret their bargain ever afterward. Don't do this.

Shop around for a husband as carefully as you would for a dress that you expected to have to wear a long time and that you would still feel dressed up in as long as there was a rag of it left. Experiment a lot with love before you go oft the deep end with any man. There is nothing so tricky as heart disease. The first time you have an attack and find your pulses throbbing, your breath going short and you lose your appetite and lie awake at night wondering if he got home safely or was run over by an automobile, you are sure that you have a fatal case that nothing but death will ever end. But no casualty occurs.

He goes off to school, or you go to visit Cousin Maria; another boy comes along and another after him, who rouses the same symptoms in you. But like cures like and you are miraculously saved for the time when you are past the calf love stage and are capable of a deep and enduring passion. But you would have been sunk if you had married your first sweetheart. So while you are young and unformed and your emotions haven't had time to jelL change your partners often, girls. Have a new beau every day! Don't go steady," as the phrase goes, with any boy.

Con atancy at your age is just a quality of stickiness that you have In com mon with a porous plaster. Don't be afraid that if you give up one boy nui wnn't rt mother. The reason they steer clear of you now is because they think you are bespoken. Anyway you look at it "keeping company" is a racket in which men get all the percentage. It is bitterly unfair to girls.

It forces a girl to give up all other men for one and cute her off from any change of marrying any one else, but it doesn't obligate the man to marry ner. He can kiss and ride away whenever he likes and she is left fiat And the marvel is that girls are silly enough to enter into a game in which the cards are all stacked against them. Don't do it, girls. Have a new beau every day! Change boy friends! Competition is the life of trade in love as well as business. DOROTHY DIX.

By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT President Has Daily Meal With Patients WASHINGTON, Sunday During the Presidents stay in Warm he has one meal with all the patients. AH othc guests in the hotel have their meals early on that day an then the din ing room i filled with patients in wheel chairs or on moveable cots. Those who are able to get about on crutches or with the aid of braces, usually pusn some other less active patient. This time it was a luncheon and the chef out did himself in preparing delicious cold dishes with hot rolls and hot coffee. The children, of course, had their glasses of milk and I marvelled at the dexterity with which those youngsters handled their plates of food and their glasses of milk, despite handicaps of all varieties One of Major Bowes troupes happened to be in this vicinity and came by to entertain the patients.

The children gave a play. Several of them were in wheel chairs. They had written it themselves and it was a lurid mystery play. Then everyone filed by the giving their names, and the state or country from which they had come. The President shook them by the hand and wished them well.

After it was over, I noticed a young man, clear eyed and in apparent good physical condition, sitting in his wheel chair quite near us. I asked him where he came from and he answered: "New York." home was in New York City, but he was taking his master's degree in forestry at the University of Syracuse when he was taken ill. He was working his way through and doing personnel work with the freshman class. Since he has been in Warm Springs he had earned his way by teaching in high school and in one of the grades. He is just being allowed to use crutches and I have a feeling that after he has accomplished his two full time jobs here, getting well and teaching school, handicapped or not, he will be of real value to an employer.

Yesterday was cold and clear. Elliott, who arrived late Friday afternoon because of stormy weather, left yesterday noon by air and expected to be with Ruth in New Orleans by early afternoon. After lunch was over yesterday, I though there was nothing to do before going to the train, but my hubsand blandly remarked: "I think we will call on Miss Pardee." It seems strange to go to Mr. George Peabodys house and not find Mr Peabody there. He was such a personality that he still pervades the house.

It was pleasant to talk of him for a few minutes with Miss Pardee. Mrs. Waite was still away, but she had left behind a spaniel puppy which I gathered up at once and took out to my husband in the car, for I knew how much he would enjoy this little wriggling ball with floppy ears. Puppies, like children, may be very annoying and the maid told me that a few days before he had ripped out most of the lining of the sofa. But you could see that the entire household enjoyed his wickedness and revolved about him, just as we do about anythiiig young.

Then we paid a call on the President's cousin. Mrs. Forbes Amory. At 4 o'clock we were on the train an waved goodbye to Warm Springs and the men of the party waved goodbye to a real holiday. I wonder if I would ever have the courage to go back to work if I went back to the unravelling of such tagled skeins.

Mrs. Sherwood Rieser received a silver vase for topping the club in the March series. Mrs. Ralph Paull received a loving cup for the suffi cient number of wins. Conning Someone asked me how I made out when I was usher at the Sprang Ballet which Mrs.

Sonya Marianneaux presented at the Wo men's Club. I can safely say I was all right. I had able support in Mrs Iaeger Snyder, Miss Esther Wickert and Miss Mary Schaeffer, of course, but I had a whole aisle to take care of alone. What got me down was handing the flowers to Patsy Whitner over the footlights. Palsy, a four year old daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Harry Whitner, took the flowers and bowed prettily to right and left, and twinkled off the stage as self possessed as a veteran trouper. If I had had a "pair of white gardening gloves, or a catchers mitt on. couldn't have felt mc clumsy. But Patsy.

What poise! I went backstage and the smell of grease paint and the costumes was just as professional looking and smelling as the "Met." The children were amazingly able and all promise really to go places in the ballet world If they keep up their studies. I nearly said if they keep on their toes.

L. I heard of a Scotsman the other day who was so smart all his friends envied him. He knew just when the stock market was bullish, and when bearish, and was the wonder of his community. One MacTavish asked him to what he attributed his signal success. Sandy said, "Haggis.

My wife makes a haggis that melts in the mouth." Mac asked him if he could have some one day. Sandy said he could, and that It would cost him $10. Mac went up to Sandy's house and paid for the slice of haggis, and was half way through when he glanced up at Sandy and said, "You know, $10 is a lot of money to pay for a small piece of haggis, Sandy." Whereupon Sandy said, "See, Mac, old boy, you have only eaten half the haggis, and already you are getting smart." You will have to supply your own dialect. Tonight, Reading Bridge Club, C. F.

Returning home, she wrote outfirst the death of Uncle Tom, then the opening chapters. The famous story was first published in weekly installments. Upon its publics tion in book form 3000 copies were told the first day, 10,000 in ten days, and 300,000 by the dote of the first ycarl The book was translated immediately into 20 different languages. Six theaters' in London presented the play at the same time.

Your Children By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON A personable young woman answers our advertisement one morning and says, "Are you the lady who is looking for a nurse?" Instantly we are impressed and even before we glance at her references we have made up our mind. The references say that she is "capable clean and honest." That is important, of course, but is it enough? Without considering other qualifications we tell her to bring her clothes and, yes, Wednesday will be fine. a month or so, however, Sisters temper is puzzling you.

And Brother is indulging in tantrums, which never happened before. Sister is getting impudent and is no more that little lady she used to be than a song sparrow is like his belligerent city cousin. The young nursemaid complains that they are the worst children she ever saw and she thinks she will get a Job in a restaurant. She doesn't like nursing anyway and this has settled it. You are not exactly sorry to see her go.

Simply Not Nurses Now is the time to pause and do a little figuring. It is not too late yet to mend damage perhaps, but another experience or two like this may be beyond remedy. The whole trouble is that many girls take up nursing jobs who have not the slightest idea of child handling. We cannot expect them to be psychologists, naturally, but it Births TO MR. "AND MRS.

They, the unequipped ones, expect instant obedience at an age when spirits and curiosity are asking a little patience. There is a temptation to threaten or scare in order to get re sults. They know nothing of cnua nature, and even lack of good judg i ment.

How many of these run of the mill nurses know that the methods they sometimes use are fatal to progress? How many know that indiscriminate punishment of small children may generate pus zllne behavior, and either break spirits or make the child dull and unhappy? On the other hand, my sympathy is not always with the children. "Nursing" in the sense of child care is one task that needs a set of cast iron nerves plus the disposition of an angel. I have no illusions about children. But be as careful as you can, good mother, if this is the sort of aid you require. I think the modern idea of trusting the children to a stranger who may be terrifically high priced in the end is a mistake.

Some, of course, are treasures, their only likely fault being too great leniency. Killing with kindness is not good for children, either. If it conditions them to resent routine discipline and interferes with normal conformity to daily life. It really is a problem, and like all other problems of Che kind, must be solved.

And this is true regardless ot their height, weight, or what they have to spend on clothes. One who walks with "an air about her" always seems to be put together in the best possible manner.

Her chin doesn't arrive at a destination ahead of her body, and her feet do not get there a split second after her body. She arrives in one piece and she looks smart whether she is wearing a dress which cost five dollars of fifty five. Good posture makes for self confidence, of course. The girl who walks with backbone straight, stomach in, chest very high and head up usually isn't the shy little violet who can't think of a thing to say to others in the group. A certain amount of timidity is ap pearing, but its no fun to be a wall flower.

And if you stand, walk and dance in such a way as to ma ice the simplest dress seem like queenly raiment, you won't be Ignored. Perfect posture may not make for lasting popularity see the personality experts about this), but it will get you a little attention and that's something! At least it's a step in the right direction. You might try dressing more carefully, standing correctly while you do so. Put a little push be hind each step. If you are absolutely listless every morning, you probably aren't getting enough sleep, or perhaps you need more exercise or more fruits and veg etables in your diet.

Maybe you ought to see a doctor. It just isn't normal never to have an ounce of spare energy.
