Not only did the first President pick his wife’s dresses, but Martha liked themQuestion BoxBy EO WYNNThm Perfect FoolDear Sir. Wynn:In this morning’s mall I received a circular from a plumber who claims he Is selling a new kind of stove which will save half the coal I use In the stove I have now. Do you advise me to buy one of his uew stoves.Truly yours,I. M. KURIOUS.Answer: If your plumber Is telling the truth when he says the new stove saves one-half of your coal, why don’t you buy two of his stoves and save all your coal?Dear Mr. Wynn:You are so smart and claim you know so much. Here’s one for you. Answer this: Did you ever see a dog without eyes, without ears, withour hair, without a nose, without a month and without feet?Yours truly, VETTER N. ASIAN.Answer: Yes, I saw a dog like that—u “hot dog.And that, many a wife would say, showed Martha brave—to manage to like presses which a man picked for her.But that, we suggest, depends on the man, There have been husbands, you know, who not only would trouble to notice'their wives’ clothes, but who actually understood women’s clothes. Oh, not many, I know. But they have existed. There have even been men who could—and would—go shopping with their wives, with actual benefit to ttie aforesaid women. Of course, they have been few and far between. But when they exist, they are the last word In business. They are all that is charming and delightful.Imagine—to have a husband who not only notices wlmt you wear but remarks intelligently ou It. Imagine his having not only clothes intelligence, but good taste. Imagine his having sufficient Interest to go with you to buy your clothes, or— miracle of miracles—to buy them for you ISuch a man, such a husband, we now for the first time find George Washington to have been. It Is not too much to say that in the light of this new information about the great soldier and statesman, new history books should he written. For It Is one thing to be a great general, a fine gentleman, an engineer and a literary figure, even a first President. But a husband who could choose his wife’s clothes—and have her like tliem-Mvell, now, indeed, George Washington stands alone In the hearts of his countrywomen.© Be!!

I followed him through the dark hall, stone paved, out into a beautiful sunlit Florentine inner court garden with great dark cypresses waving their tips In the breeze. Around the roots of these dignified old trees, centuries old, were little flower beds of bright posies confined by stone edges between which, in formal fashion, were Inviting little paths.It was a surprise garden In the rear of an uninviting looking stone residence set uncompromisingly ou a none too wide side street in the city of Florence. Florence, Italy, Is a surprise city anyhow, with its wealth of history, its tragedies, its bloody climb to light, its sacrifices in the name of power and religion, its wealth, Its art and literature. What a panorama of human achievements and failures Florence presents to a sympathetic heart, us one recalls the de Medicls, Savonarola, Fra Angelico, the Brownings and the host of others too numerous to name.We have wandered fur from our sunlit garden Into which I had followed my host to see his marble ruble. Is it an antique?” I inquired as I noticed great cracks across the beautiful marble slab. No, it is not,” my friend responded. “Listen to this story 1 The marble cutters of Florence are wily old fellows, lie continued, “often when their chisels slipped too far they cracked the marble slabs. Into these cracks they poured soft wax. After the wax had hardened the slabs were polished and the tables sold for solid marble. The Florentines soon realized the deception and began asking when buying tables for those sine cera”—(without wax).Interesting It Is ro note that our word sincerity comes from the little phrase sine cera,” without wax, which is precisely what It means— for to be sincere is to be genuine,, whether it be a table or an individual.To be without pretext or show Exactly wlmt men think I am.If this be a good working rule for Florentine tables, to be genuinely sincere tables of solid marble, isn’t it also a silver rule for you and me to follow In daily life, to be found always sine cera?THE ABILITY FAMILYHere Is Duke, full-blooded bulldog, owned by Kenneth Grossmiller of Dalles, Ore. Duke is trained to swim out to a drowning person, with the end of a piece of rope In his mouth and the other end attached to the shore, lie also Is able to tow a person hanging to his harness.It’s Muddy inMatanuska Valley, TooMINNESOTA farmers who migrated to the government colony in Matanuska valley, Alaska, find the mud Is as deep there as at their old home, Frank Bliss, construction boss for the colony, Is seen with a friend trying to extricate their automobile from the mire.THE best neighbors I ever had were the Ability family. There were eight In the present family, one child died young. The father’s name was Reliability, the mother’s Responsibility. They were each well named. The father had the respect and confidence of all he met In business—people, even strangers, felt him to be trustworthy. The mother played her part, too; after visiting her household, one could be assured that she carried her part of the home making for her husband and their six children, adding more duties each day to her already full program. Her name was Responsibility and she lived up to It,The first child, who grew to be strong and stalwart, they named Respectability. He was an upright chap. He thought well of himself and Justly so, for he lived persistently at his best.The second child was named Stability, for at an early age he evidenced a. decided firmness of character.After a few years passed another child was born to this Interesting family, not as strong In health as the first two children, but patient unto long endurance, with never a word of complaint This child was calm and often silent with an Inner reserve and strength that won from his friends great admiration and love. His parents called him Durability.The fourth child was a Joy to Its mother. Nothing ever seemed to go wrong when this little fellow was about. Everyone loved him as he grew up, because he was thinking constantly of others. He wouldchange his plans to accommodate others If need he. Unselfishness was his watchword. His name wasAdaptability.One child died young. Peevish and Ill-tempered, he grew quite apart from the family traits. His name was Irritability. He was too unhappy to live long.After the death of Irritability the Ability family was again augmented by two, when the twins came, Happy, good natured, lovable pair of youngsters they were. They brought sunshine and joy wherever they went. Everybody agreed that they should be called Affability and Compatibility !So this is the Ability family. Row many of them have you met in your circle of friends? Do you wonder the name of this family wasability?PATTERN 231*:!H$WV.VA * * ♦1The hot weather brings us to the problem every woman of generous proportions must cope with—how to keep cool and fresh looking on those wilting days?
