Kitchen Should Be Most Attractive Room Iu House

CUims Mott of Woman's Time and Should Be Mafic Good To Look At

What is nearer to a woman's

heart than her borne? And whn'. room in that home claims most of her time'' Judging from what most women themselves admit It Is—no. not the parlor nor even Um living room. It Is the kitchen. Since this is true (we've seen natty rotes taken on this question', the kitchen Just naturally ought to be the best room to the bouse. Best to arrangement, best to conveniences. and as good to look at and out of as any at the room* This la entirely possible—to be good-

the trick.

Dear Mia* Flo — I have been going with a boy for two year*, and it ha* been understood that we would marry some day. We quarreled recently and didn't ore each other for three month*. We made it up. but now I know that I do not care for him. Ye' I hate to t him down now. for 1 know will be terribly huh. Please tell me If I am selfish In »anting t< consider my own happiness first.

Neither o' you would be happy — but of the two you undoubtedly would be the tm*>t unhappy. For a married man has many outside Interests, and distractions and amusements And compensa tlons—and if his marriage doe* not turn out to be all that fc* had hoped for. he ha* his buslnes* to fall back upon, his ambitions and hi* career to con.'ole him. Therefore he is never wholly dependent upon hts wife for bis happiness. But a woman stakes her all on her marrlager and if she doe* not love her husband, if she does uoi find h. pp.neas In her home, she ha* nothing. So In fairness lo herself she must always consider her own happiness firsi when It comes to marriage. Never many any mau unless you are very much In lore with l.im. for every woman craves romance, and If she doesn’t get It at home *hc i* very apt to seek it elsewhere. It 1h much better to break now than later—ar-i you both should thank yor. i icky stars that you found out before nui - riage that you are not suited to! each other.
