Question
By Beatrice Fairfax
An Authority on Problems of
Love and Marriage
Peggy was invited to tea on
a “liner,” along with a group
•f girls and young men of her
"crowd.”
She was greatly thrilled at the
prospect, which included meeting
the good-looking ship officers.
Nor was she disappointed.
Best of all, the best-looking
man of all, the young first of
ficer. was especially attentive.
He did not ever disapprove when
Peggy, who did not keep up with
her “crowd” in these matters,
refused cigarettes, took tea but
not cocktails, and showed a dis
position to chatter and “cut up,”
but not to neck in dim corners.
Peggy and the first officer
were married a year later.
"I respected you from the
moment we met,” her husband
confessed to, her. “I loved you
and felt 1 could trust you.- We
meet so many of the other kind
of women at every port. You
seemed too good to be true.
“When I returned from my
first voyage after our honeymoon.
I was almost afraid our little
home nest would have vanished
like a dream. But no—it was
there—sweeter than ever. You
had not changed.”
Peggy has not always been
happy In her marriage. There
have been ups and downs. But
if she can keep as winsome and
lovable as in courtship days
love, respect and admiration for
her will be sufficient anchor for
her husband’s heart.
Respect and admiration always
accompany true love. Without
them love Is impossible.
Said Rodin, the great sculptor,
to a friend:
“My wife loves me because she
admires me. If she didn't ad
mire me. she would hate me.”
And he added to himself: “She'd
be quite right, too!”
You may have a great “crush”
on a person you cannot honor or
respect. But the attraction win
soon turn to indifference or
hate, for there is an element of
contempt in your feeling for
him when respect is lacking.
It is equally true that the man
who does not in his innermost
heart, admire and respect you for

road, nor its manners and its
customs, its curves and its grades.
The new way is always a threat;

The other reason. His own
motor mechanism was tired all
over. Throughout the day his
muscles had been tense, taut as
fiddle strings, keyed up for
emergency action. His eyes saw
too much, his ears heard too
much, and his nose was on the
qui vive for hot boxes, burning
rubber, scorched grease. .His con

gears was better than over own.
It was as though he were running
his body on high with the emerg

his hands and feet had not learned
to co-ordinate. To do one thing
with one foot and quite a dif

with one hand and work a brake

Tomato Juice as Breakfast Drink
By Hannah Wing
We frequently forget that the
tomato is a fruit rather than a
vegetable, with a fruit’s refreshing
juiciness and acidity. Nowadays
we opr orange, pineapple or
grapefruit in the form of juice
rather than eating it. Tomatoes,
strained and chilled, and seasoned
with a little salt .and lemon juice,
make a fine drink to begin break
fast and day. Rich in the three
bdst known vitamins, and in min
eral content, it is peculiarly health
ful and lacks the sweetness which
to some people is cloying, espe
cially in the morning.
Besides its refreshing quality,
pleasant flavor and healthfulness,
tomato juice is ah economical
beverage. A large can will furnish
four full-size glasses, at a cost of
not more than one medium size
orange for serving.

SPEEDY
On outstanding trait in the Si

disposition. There is none of the
fierce fighting and throat slash
ing so common to the native
Alaskan dog.
Instead they dwell amiably to
gether and, says Nature Magazine,
havj genuine affection for one an
other.
With man they are slow to
make friends, out once having
been won over they serve with a
cheerful loyalty that cannot be
surpassed. They are what is
known as “one man dogs.”
The speed they make is remark
able: their endurance marvelous.
In the 408 miles All-Alaska Sweep
stakes they hold the record by
covering the distance in 74 hours,
14 minutes and 22 seconds.
This is not going time but is all

more than 10 miles an hour.
In the shorter rates they travel
like an express train and have
averaged better than 18 miles

While she kept her word to not tell the husband, she went right

they were married.

for the bath. His body’s clock
is likewise set for Sunday. That
day, too, goes by according to

new week. One habit after an
other, like a chain, functioning
as one. Works like a clock wound

This one-habit mode of existence
is fine; it gives the brain a com

skilled performer, but never great,

must be visceral dynamics—
generally called "guts”—behind a
