The Hague. — Netherlands breathed sighs of relief recently when the engagement of their plump, twenty-seven year old Prin cess Juliana, heir to the throne of The Netherlands, was announced. She is to marry the twenty-five year old Prince Bernard Zu Lippe-Bies- terfield of Germany. Never forgotten by her subjects was the whispered statement of their Juliana, richest princess in Europe, that she would never marry without being truly in love. In polit ical circles, cafes, and by Dutch firesides the topic of a suitable al liance, satisfying to her marital ideals as well as royal convenience, has equaled the most heated politi cal controversies in popularity. The Hague rang with sounds of wildly chaering crowds that lined the city streets to greet their be loved princess and her tall Prince “Benno" upon their return to the capital. Choirs sang, and the young couple were called repeatedly to appear on the balcony of the palace to acknowledge the rejoicing Es- Kaiaer Wilhelm of Germany was given credit for the matchmaking. NEW TENNIS QUEEN at which Queen Wilhelmina had failed. A Seven Tear Search. Juliana’s engagement culminates a seven year search by her mother, the iron willed Queen Wilhelmina, among European nobility for a hus band satisfactory to her daughter. Rumors during this time implied the imminent engagement of the princess to no less than six suitors. Although she has obeyed all other wishes of her austere, proud mother, until now she has defied official matchmaking. None of the eligible bachelors of tl\e English, German, or Swedish royalty has appealed to her. They also may have reason to be frightened by marriage into the Dutch family. Life in Queen Wilhel- mina’s court has never been jolly and informal. The Prince-Consort has .no authority whatsoever, but must endure the boredom of endless receptions and social functions. Nor have the eligibles forgotten that Queen Wilhelmina'■ husband, Prince-Consort Hendrik of Mecklen burg. spent much of his married life traveling. Juliana believes that many of the dark hours in her mother's life were due to the fact that as a young prin cess she took no time to get ac quainted with her prince-consort be fore their marriage. She married him because she needed a husband in the beet interests of her country. The present princess has been con fident In the genuine lose of the Dutch people for her. and has known they would sympathise with her desire for a happy marriage.

BARRETT A business man who had weath ered the depression fairly well was heard to remark to a group of friends: “If my business fails, you’ll never see me for dust I’ll never go broke.” The implication immediately ap parent was that if he should be forced into bank ruptcy he would follow the exam ple of hundreds of others, commit what the Japa nese term hara-kiri. “I will never go broke.’’ The question arises, Was he not already broke or very near it at the moment when he made the statement?

Many persons thought so. but the number has beep in the mi nority. The majority who thought otherwise were, in time, able to recoup their misfortune and again become re-established on the marts of trade. When is a man broke? When he loses his money? No. A man is broke when he loses his spirit, when courage and enthusiasm die within his soul, when the perennial spirit of hope no longer permits the thought of future possibilities. A man is broke when his heart is dead, when his mind is callous, and his soul is adamant. The an swer is therefore not found in ma terial values, but in moral and spir itual realities. So long as the spir itual element of hope burns upon the altar of the human heart, no person can be said to be broke. It is one thing to state a principle, bat quite another thing to make it real in experience. An abstract truth may be real in one’s character but not in one’s career. A man must break internally be fore he can break externally. The break must first come from within. All the more important is the re sponsibility of keeping the home fires of high idealism aflame in one’s personality. A man loses hope and “goes broke" many times by way of a nervous cpllapse, because he lacked the steadying power which friendship and love make possible. No person can become enthusiastic over an abstract ideal. In some way, an ideal must And expression in terms of persotlkUty, if it is to live.

Surfaces that need to be shielded to preserve their original beauty, or to hide their unsightliness, can have covers that are decorative of themselves, and also serve the protective office. Foods that should be kept hot will .have the heat conserved if contain ers have covers. Covers also are used to preserve foods against contamination of odors from those which have de- c i d e d flavors. And these latter foods are cov ered to prevent odors escaping, which, while ex cellent in them selves, should not evaporate.

Even in houses it is not uncommon for some win dows to have indifferent views from them. For whatever reason the outlook is not attractive, it becomes the province of the homemaker to so decorate the windows that the lack of landscape views is minimized. The window itself must form the attraction. When views must be shut out, glass curtains that are woven close ly enough for light, but not views, to come through them, will solve one problem. If the window gets the sun, any colored curtains can be used. But if sun is lacking, give the semblance of it by having yellow marquisette, scrim, etc., as the textile. With this across the window, or with the sun permitted to shine directly in through the up per half of the window when sash curtains are used, the next matter is the problem of hangings. Draperies. While it is impossible to lay down any definite rules without know ing the room and its color scheme, there ere some general sugges tions that may prove helpful. Have the draperies bright and plain if the wells have figured paper on them. And now comet the matter of or naments for the window. Colored glaaa is a good choice for one thing.
