As the bubble leaves his pipe he views it with an air cf contentment, of accomplishment; ha looks upon it as a beautiful thing--in his eyes it is an eternal wonder. Suddenly it bursts, has faded into nothingness and his trouble, labor and pride have gone for naught.

As he gazed upon that unsubstantial bubble his childish amazement overwhelmed him so much that he could see it only in its present form; his mind could not penetrate the walls separating the present from the future, he could not realize that soon that butble would be no more. He was occupied only with the present. So it is with "Confident and "Open Eyed." and all the rest. They are blowing the bubble of "companianate marriage." Like the little boy, they are overwhelmed with it in the present to them it is the solution of a problem which they nave no right to even attempt to solve. It is a bubble, very similar to that of the littie boy.

If put into practice it would be worthJess- it is unsubstantial, It may sound good to them and even to some others; it may look fine in print, but in actual practice it would be found lucking in mote than one way. If they are not stubbornly conArmed in such a deplorable thing as "companionate marriage." let them follow ne as I endeavor to pal.at with words picture of the future which: would result from "companionate marriage." To my mind it would be a picture of confusion, of demoialization. It would depict children uncared for, nameless thrown into the arms of the unmerciful world, wandering about knowing not their father, knowing not their mother; not knowing whether the ones whom they call brother and sister are truly and wholly theirs. The situation and their origin being revealed to them, the" become discouraged ard their heads in shame. The unsympathetic world looks upon them as underlings, as bilge water.

Their lives are the result of their parents admiring the bubbie with an open eye to the present and' a closed one to the future. The picture would not only portray the terrifying results upon the children of such 0. disgusting "union" but also upon family life, upon state and finally upon the nation. It would present to us the separation of "husband" and "wife" for little or no cause, their succumbing to the instincts of the flesh; the utter ruin of family life, since so many families would be cast upon the raging waves of the world's inclemency; the ruin of the nation, since it is a great utter family, composed of the various state families. Therefore family life is escential, and I dare say it wouid exist in few of these "unions" of "companionate mariages." Now that we have done a rather difficult task, that of gazing into the future, let me suggest more simple proof of the worthlessness of "companionate marriage." Let those SOcalled modernists turn back the centuries of history; let them unravel the stories of antiquity.

There, blazing forth, staring them in the face, is written "The Downfall of Rome." I would like to ask them why such a thing happened. They might answer "Greed for gold." But was that all? No. Demoralization played its part. The moral standard instead of being on a high plane was level with the ground. What brought about this demoralization? Polygamy was one of the causes.

It will be said that polygamy and "companionate marriages" are two different things. To some extent they are; nevertheless, they are closely related. "Companionate marriage" justifies polygamy, makes it easier. It is often said that history repeats itself, and we have reason to think it would in such a case. Looking at both the future and the past we realize the worthlessness of "companionate marriage," simply by human reasoning.

Now let me ask "Confident and Happy" and all the others whence they received the power, or sense the necessity of their improving upon such an institution as marriage? Oh that these dreamers will soon awake to the nonsense of their dreams, that they will see the nothingness of the bubble. To you, "Confident and I say: The institution of marriage is not for you to reform, for you have shown yourself a most incapable reformer. The word marriage needs no adjective, it has no faults (except those which you manufacture so that you may have an alibi), Reconsider. Think seriously before you step. Women's Clubs Urged to Give Home Towns Lasting Gifts Many women's clubs throughout the country have hit upon a new Christmas idea, presenting their home towns with lasting gifts instead of indulging in temporary charitable enterprises, and leaders of the movement are urging wide adoption of the plan.

Summing up what has been accomplished in this direction, the Woman's Home Companion points out a number of examples which can be followed in even the smallest community. The Book Lovers Club of Basin, presented the town with a library, the 13 clubwomen having only $50 with which to begin the enterprise. The small collection of books was housed in the Commercial Club and members at first took turns acting as librarians. Within a few months the club doubled the number of books and after a few years a house and lot was acquired and the library now flourishes with aid from direct taxation. The Friday Rending Club of Thayer, established circulating library as a Christmas gift, which has now gown to wide proportions.

A small club of 18 members in Keosauqua. Town, had no funds, but each member contributed 25 cents and with a meager nucleus of $4.50 announced the presentation to the town of a community house. The fund grew rapidly and a handsome building houses all of the activities of the little town. The women of Glacier Park, a town that is under snow nine months of the year, presented the public with school and community house, all of which started from a tiny sum. In Van Wert, Ohio, the Women's Club present was a free kindergarten, and in Centerdale, Towa, A continuing course of child study was established a Christmas present, Another small community purchased as a gift two blue spruce trees, the planting of which started a much-needed protram of beautification.

The community gift plan, club leaders urge, is something that will permit any club to prove that its work is really important in the district it serves. This Modern World News of Fashions, Costumes, Personalities, Household Aris, That Contribute to Alert Living. Dress to Your Type Is Absolute Rule If One Would Be Chic Now that the sports influence on fashions far removed from the sports world is over, it is very important that every woman study lines. If she does not do this in an attempt to make the most of her good points and to render less apparent her deficiencies she is liable to find her personality completely submerged in the sophisticated clothes of the moment. Study Your Type.

The first fact to recognize in choosing new apparel is that not all fashions are suited all types; neither are all colors coming to blonde and brunette alike. Few women can remodel their figures to the exact height and slenderness Paris decrees as the ideal of smartness, but it is within every one's power create an illusion of greater or less height or of less poundage by discrimination in the selection of clothes.

They have been in the open all summer and now you have brought them into a place where the air is dry and not always pure as it should be and the plants are showing their resentment by dropping some leaves. They invariably do this at this season. After they become accustomed to their new surroundings they settle down and seemingly make the best of conditions and begin sending out new leaves and developing buds. The begonia is not only beautiful and worthy of a place in any window garden but it is reliable, and in a house plant that means much more. All varieties of begonia will flourish in any room where a geranium will grow.

These plants have few wants and virtually no insect enemies, except the mealy bug, which occasionally attacks it. When this happens do not consider it a tragedy but rather get out any nicotine preparation that you happen to have and get to work to clean the plants. Spray the upper and lower sides of the foliage. One application is usually sufficient While begonias are not particular about temperatures they are exceedingly particular about soil, liking best a mixture of good garden loam and leaf mold with just enough sand to perfect the drainage. If you cannot get leaf mold use the soil which you can scrape from the lower side of old sod.

Keep your begonias, if possible, in a southern or eastern window. In A very light but sunless window they bloom well, but their flowers lack the rich color which they have when given the sunshine of the early part of the day, or that of midday, pered with partial shade, as furnished by vines outside or shaded by other plants between the begonia and the window. In watering the begonias pour the water over soil rather than over the tops of plants. There is an the important reason for this. If you sprinkle the tops of the plants some water is likely to collect about the crowns or on leaves.

Should this happen and the water is permitted to remain 3 disease known as the "rot" will develop. There is no method of combating this malady. Once it starts the best thing to do is to discard your plant at once, as the "rot" is contagious and may attack other plants. The name of this disease, while not attractive, is a descriptive one. A plant attacked with rot starts to slough oil along its main stem, in much the same manner as necrosis progresses.

If you are contemplating purchasing a new begonia at this time, ask the florist to show you the Glory of Loraine. This is the beautiful pale pink variety which, when full of flowers, is truly irresistible.

Mail Waiting.

There is mail waiting to be forwarded to "Gratsful," "Rosemary," A. "Would-be Sorority Girls" and "Hopeful." Please, send addresses. HELEN WORTH. Dear Helen Worth-I am only 16 years old, but appear much older. Every one takes me for 18 or 19.

I go out with older fellows and girls, and am considered rather popular, being kind of pretty, a good dancer and a good mixer. I have very rarely met 8 fellow from whom I did not hear. But this is what troubles me. I hear from a fellow four or five times and then he stops seeing me. I can never have a boy friend for more than a month.

I do not allow "petting." although I am not actually a prude, if you know what I mean. It hurts me to be just taken up and then dropped without apparent reason. Do you think my age has anything to do with it? If a fellow really likes me, why should my age matter? I should like to hear from some of your young men readers. Maybe they can tell me why they drop girls SO suddenly. BLONDY.

My dear Blondy" is probably because you are so extremely young that you are bothered with such a 'problem." Do not worry about it. You are really not old enough to be going out SO much, and at your age it is not customary to have one young man to devote all of his attention to you. Wait a little longer, "Blondy," and this matter will doubtless adjust itself. HELEN WORTH. Advertise in Big Letters as Helper for Housewives on Special Occasions.

Dear Helen Worth--Reading your page is a source of pleasure to me-and I have profited many times by your intelligent answers to the most difficult problems in human life. It is a study all in all. Now I am comping with my trouble. I have by circumstances (which I could not control) been forced out of my regular work, which made the livelihood for my child and myself. I have been thinking of several ways to make out something new, to fit my personality and training, but it is very hard when one has reached middle age to start anything new--unless one has money enough to carry out the idea which is sure to win.

I cannot take an office or business position for lack of training. All I have to fall back on is my ability to cook. I can cook and serve a tasty meal in the daintiest manner. (Incidentally, I am a Scandinavian if that may runt in my favor for such work. HELPING HAND.

My dear "Helping -Why not advertise your services as helper for special occasions? There are few housekeepers who do not feel the need of additional hands at the holiday season, or when entertaining.

In your case this measurement is probably about 20 inches. Your other measurements are good for your type. Lois Leeds will answer beauty queries through the columns of The Eagle.
