If you should not be dieting, or balancing your domestic budget, or writing regularly to your soldier, or taking on a part time jeb as assistant nurse, then begin to do it from today on. One great trouble with ui American women, who have known so many years of security and plenty, is that we are apt to think about all these things and a thousand others, "I wish I'd begun that years ago. Saving dimes. Studying Spanish. Having the children's friends In for simple hospitalities. Walking two miles a day. Look at all the time I've lostl If I'd had any idea how useful it was going to be to me or how happy it would have made Tom or what help I could have given how welcome that poor child that extra money would be now" Chance for Fresh Start. Some lives are spent in this sort of useless regretting. But the smart woman eventually learns that whatever the mistakes and omissions of the past, there is always today. Today may be the beginning of the new time the time of quiet accomplishment, friendship, study, savev- ing, building. "I don't write him half often enough!" says the busy woman in the market. She is deciding between frankfurters, salmon, or curried eggs for dinner, the place Is full of bustle and gossip and morning light; her heart goes for a moment to the man overseas, then she forgets him again. To son or husband she is apt to write often, but this man is her nephew, or a friend's son, or the casual Christmas guest who begged so wistfully for an occasional letter. So she doesn't write, and perhaps presently learns that the chance as far as that particular sailor is concerned, is gone. What we ought to remember is that today is as powerful, as filled with opportunity, as any yesterday was, and that a few months concentration on the saying, the diet, the child, the foreign language, is still In our power. In a letter yesterday I received an illustration of this and can only advise Alice M., who wrote the letter, to start all over again from today on. Alice is the wife of a young naval officer, she has a child of three. She writes that she adores her husband, adores her child. She- has a comfortable home, and is busy with the usual activities of housework and baby care, Red Cross and eanteen. Archie has been away for 15 months. Last fall Alice met aa army man who is married and fcai grown children; on neither side was there any pretense of great Jove, or any suggestion of divorce. They were lovers for a brief spaci; Alice does not excuse or defend th!s, she merely tells me that for a few weeks of what now seems to her Insanity she and the major (met at various times and START NOW BEVERLY Yesterday is gone, and may never come.

Don't bother with regrets over the past. Don't make grandi-ose plans for the distant future, Act today. This is Miss Nor- - j ris' advice to women on the home front. j Even in a seriously complicated domestic situation, as in the case outlined in this article, the only sensible thing to do is to start over as well as possible. A young wife of a naval officer has been carrying on an affair with a middle-agemajor. There was never any real love in this liaison, and it is now ended. Alice now wants to forget it, but she is afraid this unsavory episode will cloud the future. She has just heard that her husband, Archie, is returning from service, almost blind. He is bringing his widowed mother with him, and her adopted son, an English boy. This will mean two children in Alice's household, as she and Archie have a d daughter. Miss Norris tells Alice to start today, determined to hold her marriage together, and to try to make everyone as happy as she can. There will be much for everyone to forgive and forget after this tragic war period ends. movies. m SEWING CIRCLE the 'teen age girl Nowadays comes in for so much comment-bo- th from people who are qualified to comment and those who just criticize that everybody ought to see the March of Time's latest, "Teen-Ag- e Girls." It shows what they're doing, wearing, reading; how they talk, how they behave, what they rave over and what they hate. It also shows their serious side, portraying them as the woman of tomorrow. ! j j j At last!
