PRIZE SUGGESTIONS, ATTRACTIVE FASHION AND SHOPPING HINTS FOR EVERY WOMAN-
r-
YOUTH AND
HAPPINESS
By Ellen Adair
Which Period of Life Is Happiest?
trpHB average human being Is pursuing
fJLono tnmir witn an eagerness inai
tnollilnjf else rails fortli. And this partle-
; Ular thine goes under many, many widely
vnrvlrtir nniros. Vet In the Inst nnalysls
bjs enn ua "-cuuecu to ono Ringio worn-nap-
- pmessi snmo iook ror it in tuny nnu
some look for It In the mnd pursuit of
m pleasure, Some seek to (1ml It In sheer
hnrd work, while to others tho Ideal llfo
1b tho one utterly devoid of nil effort
or responsibility. Yet all nroseeklng self
expression nnd self-expression menus
Itappt-css.
"Whet oerlort o' llfo Is hnnnlest?" was
' question nsked the other day. The!
spcake" was a woman with a. young-old
face n which lines of fretfulncss and
discontent had already appeared to mar
Us prcttlnees.
A young girl of the "nnpper" persua
sion was ptalng tennis nearby. And the
Woman with the young-old face, which
showed traces of a llfo lived too keenly,
watched tho young girl ns sho played.
"Sweet slxn Is tho happiest period of
life, ' she said slowly nnd with a trnco
J of bitterness In her tone. "At that ago
t. one has nil one's hopes nnd Illusions left'
, And when one loses these, there Isn t
mlKh that's worth lWlnr for' No. nfter
Sixteen ono Is se'dom really happy!"
A romfoi table, rosy-cheeked matron
lnughed with whole-hearted merrlmpnt.
"I understand sweet Sixteen over thero
better than you do, my dear," sho said,
. "because I happen to bo her mother and
the leclplent of all her confidences and
tribulations. No, you aro mistaken In
thinking Bho Is passing through tho hap
piest period of her life. On tho contrary,
fiha la having qulto a trying time, Just
ns ovary 16-year-old under tho sun always
does. At presont It's an unfortunate lovo
alYalr with the next-door boy. Only a
week ngo sho told me her heart- was
broken because ho took another girl to n
parly, nnd theieby canceled a very par
ticular engagement with her. She's only
beginning to get over it now."
"Hut the sorrows of these very young
Rlrls aro over nnd done with so quickly"
begnn tho other woman.
"True," enld tho mntion, "hut they oc
cur over nnd over again, nnd they nro
veiy dreadful whllo they lastl My llttlo
16-year-old daughter over there feels
things Infinitely moro keenly than I
could I For It Is only In youth that wo
really aro capable of touching the very
depths of sorrow! Happiness to me menus
material comfort, rcstfulncss, cessation
from worry nnd excitement, the knowl
edge that I havo a good homo and hus
band 1 don't want youth nnd all Us
turmoils and tribulations over again. Kor
I know that I have reached tho happiest
period of my life now,"
A llttlo old lady grew qulto pink
cheeked with excitement. "You forget
love, my doart" she murmured. "There's
nothing hnlt so sweet In 1lfo nB love's
young dreiiml"
"Lovo's middle-aged dream is Infinitely
moro Boothlng!" laughed the matron
"When I think of the teais and the nor
rlos these early love affairs brought, I
am thankful to be stout and middle-aged
and ohl Just comfortable!"
' Flph Hint one thine nnlv hn leen lent
To Youth and Ace In common Discontent!"
murmured the woman with the young-old
look
"HapplnesB Isn't confined to any one
period," said a quiet-faced elderly woman
who had been listening to the talk. "It
Is something Indestructible nnd Immortal
something which tho passing of the
years cannot affect! Whether ono Is 16
or 60 matters very little. For each age
has Its very great and very wonder
ful compensations!"
And I think that sho certainly had
solved the riddle of tho happiness period
most successfully of all.

Smart Frocks for Children
THE problem of the growing glrl'a
wardrobe has puzzled many an anx
ious mother. Tho "flapper" period is not
an English Institution, by any means.
Our own American girls booh get to the
ago when they seem to cotifilut entirely
of angles, nnd the problem of softening
these nnd dressing tho joung miss to the
best ndvanlage Is by no means a small
one.
Simplicity la, and always should be, tho
keynote of n child's clothing. Unneces
sary tlnery Is usually unbecoming, and Is
always out of plncc. Tho fnshlonnblo

ing linens, batiste, organdies and lino
voiles for tho young girl's frock. Plain
colors nro used, ns well ns striped,
