Accept the dark ukh the bright, end rejoice it you can lift your problemt up end out of the great national turn of troubled By KATHLEEN NORRIS is not a woman in and breadth at this moment, who is riot putting up with some circumstance that THERE is almost unendurable. The world, for many years, has been very sick. We bore up pretty well when the fever was high and the symptoms so dangerous that it seemed as if we mightnt recover; now were in for the trying, exacting, pettish, quarrelsome, bored, tedious time of convalescence, and its going to take whatever we can muster of courage and character. Young wives with small babies are absolute slaves these days, either tackling the herculean Jobs of dishes and didies, playtime and mealtime, marketing and cooking, beds and dust, telephone and nose colds aU by themselves, or paying a good round dollar an hour for not too effectual help. Mothers and fathers of boys Just back from service are learning, with heartache, how deep the worldpoisoning penetrated into the young hearts, how hard it is for the boys to take up civilian Jobs, to fit themselves quietly into civilized living again. Everyone is Worried. Doctors are overworked to the dropping point. Business managers are harassed by the irreconcilable margins between ceiling prices and rising wages. Strikes are darkening thousands of households. Hospitals are full of physically wounded boys struggling back to life and to usefulness, and of boys more seriously wounded in soul and wounded mind, who in puzzlement and darkness must somehow work their way toward the light. So for goodness sake pick up your own share and carry it, and make light of it, and help us all get through! Dont complain that your husband never praises you, or that he doesnt tell you about his business, or keeps you short of money, or takes an interest in other women, or talks rudely to you when hes had a drop too much, or does or doesnt do a thousand other things that nag at you like midges all day and keep you from being happy. Be happy. Accept the dark with the bright, and rejoice if you can lift your problems up and out of the great national sum total of trouble, and establish a household financially sound, affectionate, capable, harmonious. We need a million of them we need 10 million we ' could use 40 million. If 10 million women suddenly waked up to their blessings, decided to ignore their trials or disadvantages or privations or unsatisfied desires, decided to shoulder the load and go straight ahead uncomplaining toward the goal of prosperity and happiness that is right ahead of us how much faster wed reach it! Gloomy Grandma. Betty Van, for example. Betty is all hot and bothered because Vans mother lives with them. Betty has babies, aged five and three, and eight months. LAVG1I OFF TROUBLES Practically every woman in the country has to endure some difficulty. Sometimes it is a little thing, like a small, crowded apartment, or lack of help. Or it may be a crushing burden, like a mentally or physically sick husband, who has been ruined by war. There is a tension everywhere, a sense of bitterness among large groups, of frustration and disillusionment. Women who have only minor troubles should count themselves among the blessed. Betty Van, for example, has almost everything; a good home, loving husband, three children. Her husbands mother lives with them, and helps a lot in the kitchen and with the children. This is all splendid, except that the old lady has a sad outlook on life. She wants to tell dreary tales of sickness and death, hardships arid accidents. Betty is afraid she will depress the children, and make them morbid and neurotic. Miss Norris assures Betty that there is little danger that youngsters three to five years old will be affected by gloomy stories. The little ones cannot understand, and wouldnt care if they could. At that age they are interested only in themselves. On the other hand, they will benefit greatly by their grandmothers care and instruction. Betty is fortunate to have such a willing and able helper, adds Miss Norris. '...'.vv.v.-- DELTS are playing a most spetacular role in the midwinter, cie fashion picture.

Do you suppose my children will catch this dismal outlook; I am naturally cheerful and optimistic, and so is Van, but sometimes Im afraid she will pull us all down to her level. And yet it would be frightfully hard to tell Granny that we wanted her to live elsewhere. She is wonderful with the children, writes Betty, and of course does a lot in the kitchen, and honestly I think I could be fond of her tick-bed- " if she wasnt so gloomy. Im afraid it will affect the children. She s and sorwants to talk of No, Betty, it wont affect the children, and its for you rather to cheer the old girl up with attentive interest in her sad tales, and hopeful comment wherever you can put it in. You have in her a devoted cook and nurse, one to whom the childrens safety is dearer even than to you, and any young mother you know would envy you. We had a nurse years ago who used to take us to the nearby graveyard and let us play there, month out and in, while she worked on a special shroud that she was eventually to wear, and that was supposed to have some mystic merit We took deep interest in the shroud and loved the gravestones where we played house, ship pirates, circus and everything else that suggested life and youth.
