Fading Adonis
"T^AKL has always been the hand-
“ somest man in town," writes
Arlene McRobbins from Charles
ton. "1 don’t get your articles, but
I see them now and then, and I’ve
been wondering what you would
advise me to do. My husband is so
vain that it’s perfectly disgusting!
! "Earl began to be admired when
!b« was less than ten," her letter
jgoes o»." All of us, at our kid par
ties, admired him. Later, in thin
silk tennis shirts and white shorts,
^tossing his heavy mop of gold hair
■rack, sunburned, magnificently
Built, always acting as if he was
(completely unconscious of watch
ing eyes—though I know now that
be wasn’t—he was simply irresisti
ble. His family had money, his
home was one of the handsome old
show places of our little town, all
the girls in town were mad about
him, and although it was expected
that he would marry me I was the
person who never dreamed it could
come true.
An Only Child
"It was expected because our
house was another old show place—
|I was also an only child—and my
Bather was partner of Earl’s in a
(law firm. But I am not pretty, I
was slow to grow up, keeping up
clumsiness and shyness long after
. most girls do. We both were 26 when
,we married; I was really delirious
with happiness in possessing the
man I love, and Earl happy, too, I
think, in my adoration. His appetite
for admiration, flattery, compli-
", . unconscious of watching ayes . "
ments, and talk about himself gen
erally is the most astonishing thing
I have ever known. It seems in
credible to me. even after 12 years,
that any sensible human being can
be so self-absorbed.
"Earl cherishes his beauty as if
he were a screen star. He diets, he
exercises, he rubs in suntan creams
and brushes his eyebrows, and he
wears an arrangement of whalebone
and canvas that is a lot more like
a corset than anything I ever wore.
Hot Love Affairs
“I’ve listened to other women’s
praises of Earl’s looks, and I’ve
given him all the adulation I honest
ly could, and more, and I’ve ig
nored some pretty hot love affairs,
partly because I know that he simp
ly has to have adulation and takes
it anywhere and everywhere. But
of late things are worrying him into
a nervous breakdown, and he’s
passing the breakdown on to me.
"One is thinning hair. Most of his
friends have bald spots now, and
bottles of tonic and two treatments
a week and assiduous massaging
by me can’t hide Earl’s any longer.
The other thing is that he has a
bridge with three teeth on it; a
minor car accident knocked out
three front teeth a year ago. His
smile has completely changed, he
is so afraid someone will notice the
denture, and his hand goes con
tinually to the crown of his head,
pushing his hair about. I’ve never
been pretty, but I’ve got my hair
and teeth, and a good figure, and
Earl actually seems to resent it,
and that our three girls, 10, 9, and 3
years old, are all pretty. He turns
over old albums of pictures that
are mostly of himself, and will ask
callers if he has changed much
since the 20-year-old college photo
graphs.
"If I have to go on living with
this professional beauty—’’ Arlene’s
letter ends on a long wail of pro
test. She doesn’t say what £he will
do, but if she is a sensible woman
she will put up with what is really
a time suffering in Earl’s life.
Like that of all beauties his reign
is coming to an end, and he knows
it. Arlene is going to mature into
the first beauty slie ever has known,
a beauty enhanced by a cluster of
daughters; Earl is going to watch
every hair, every wrinkle, every
half-pound until even the handsome
ness he might have carried into
middle age and old age will disap
pear.
If Arlene has any real rancor left
for the years of enduring his tire
someness, she will have a quiet re
venge in watching him face one
of the most painful experiences of
life: the decline of the professional
beauty.
Whether in man or woman it is
a pitiful sight, the loss of the evan
escent thing upon which he or she
has based all his complacency in
life. Old ladies who once were beau
ties go on with the crimps and the
laces and cameo pins and velyet
bands and the simpering glances,
trying to convince themselves that
youth isn’t all over.
But when the beauty is a man
somehow the tragedy takes on an
amusing and ridiculous element,
and I suspect that part of Arlene's
is that she really liked

^ ^ Divorce Symptom
Of Deeper Failure
By Lawrence Gould
Is divorce a "national menace"?
Answer: Not in itself, but it is a
symptom of a very grave one—the
failure of modern marriage to pro
vide the happiness that men and
women expect from it. For unhappy
people, divorced or not, cannot be
good citizens or neighbors. Neither
exhortations nor reproaches will be
lastingly effective; we must train
young people to adjust themselves
to and one another in a world in
which the roles of husband and wife
are every day becoming more dif
ferent from what they were, even a
generation ago. Meanwhile, let’s be
patient with them.
time that he has a body through
which he can act to satisfy his wish
es. The distinction between himself
and his body is the starting point of
recognizing the difference between
himself as an individual and the
world outside, of which it takes time
for him to become clearly conscious.
Should a baby suck his fingers?
Answer: He will do so anyhow,
and it is a necessary stage in his
development, writes child psycholo
gist Willie Hoffer. There is reason
to believe that the dual sensation
(in his mouth and in his fingers)
helps a baby realize for the first
Are most people afraid of
themselves?
Answer: Yes, although they often
do not realize it. For while we at
tribute most of them to sources
outside us, all of our neurotic
phobias and anxieties are really dif
ferent aspects of our fear of our own
primitive impulses, or the punish
ment we believe we shall suffer if
we give way to them. It isn’t high
places, for example, that some of
us are afraid of: it is (or may be)
our natural urge to raise ourselves
above our neighbors, along with the
threat that if we do so, our pride
will turn out to “go before a fall."

KEEPING HEALTHY
Treating the Peptic Ulcer Patient
By Dr. James W. Barton
S EVERAL YEARS AGO a young
man who had been treated for
ulcer of the stomach met his physi
cian on the street and the physi
cian complimented him on his ap
pearance. The patient admitted that
he looked good but stated that for
months he had been unable to eat
solid food.
‘T drink several quarts of milk
a day and for solids, I drink egg
nogs, using syphon soda instead of
milk.”
The physician advised him to re
turn to his present physician be
cause he should be able to eat
solid food now that his ulcer was
healed. An X-ray test using barium
sulphate was made which showed
that while the ulcer had healed, it
had left a large amount of scar
tissue, which tissue was blocking
the passage from the stomach to
intestine so that instead of having
an inch or more passage, the scar
tissue had reduced it to the size
of a lead pencil so that only fluids
could pass from stomach to small
intestine where, of course, most of
digestion takes place.
The milk and eggs accounted for
his gain in weight and good appear
ance. Although the ulcer was
healed, by diet and medical treat
ment, this “scar’’ obstruction made
it necessary for a passage to be
made from stomach to small intes
tine.
I am writing the above because
some ulcer patients are undecided
as to whether to have an operation
or undergo medical treatment.
The fact is that the majority of
these patients are treated by diet
and alkalies and recover.
Some years ago I quoted Dr.
Joseph Daly, Toronto, in the
Canadian medical association jour*
nal in which he stated that it is
now admitted that no one treat
ment is suitable for aU peptic ul
cers (ulcer of stomach or small in
testine). “The physician no longer
aims to treat the ulcer but to di
rect the management of the patient
who has the tendency to ulcer."
Ulcer patients have a tendency
to worry and the symptoms disap
pear when there is a prolonged
period of relief from the wear and
tear of life. A return to usual work,
worry or mistakes in diet brings
on a return of ulcer symptoms.
The body needs vegetables — at
least one serving of potatoes daily
and at least two servings of other
vegetables, preferably leafy, green
or yellow, and frequently raw.

A PROTESTANT Christian is es
sentially a Bible Christian.
Among other things, this means he
will form his ideas about Bible
characters from the Bible itself
and not from books about the Bible,
not from legends
long afterwards in
vented.
Some Protestants
seem not to realize
that even a rever
ent book like “The
Greatest Story Ever
Told” is as much
fiction as }t is fact.
Yet Protestant
Christians 'are I*- Foreman
sometimes inclined to go to the op
posite extreme. In reacting against
the tall tales, they overlook the
♦acts.
If some Christians overdo rev
erence for Mary, offering pray
ers and incense before her stat
ues and even going to the point
of saying we cannot come to
Jesus except through Mary—an
idea totaDy false to the Chris
tian gospel—other Christians
make the mistake of neglecting
her memory altogether.
Surely we ought not to forget*or
under-rate the woman who of all
the women in the world was chosen
of God to be the mother of our
Lord Jesus Christ
God Knew Her Heart
N AZARETH was a small village
with no good reputation. Yet
it was in that town that Mary grew
to womanhood. Man looks on out
ward appearances, but God. looks
on the heart.
You might have not selected
Mary for the mother of Jesus,
or to put it in another way, you
would hardly have expected
Mary's child to be the person
Jesus became. She was very
young, for girls were engaged
early in that climate and coun
try—perhaps no more than six
teen. She could have had no
great education. She was poor,
as the whole story shows.
Yet it was not for her education
or her social standing or her ex
perience or any such thing, but be
cause of her heart, her character,
herself, that the angel came to her
that spring day in Nazareth.
• • •
Mary’s Song
T HERE IS no room to tell all that
can be known of Mary from the
Gospels. We can know or guess
much from that one song, the
"Magnificat" as it is called from
Its first word in the Latin transla
tion. (Luke 1:46-55.)
We can tell from this that she
was a woman who knew her Bible.
Moffatt’s translation of the New
Testament uses italic type to indi
cate quotations from the Old Testa
ment; and in this Song of Mary, of
its sixteen lines all but two are
printed in italics.
Words and phrases came to her in
the familiar cadences of the book
she knew and loved. Further, she
was of a poetic turn of mind. This
"Magnificat" has been set to music
and sung in churches all over the
world. * Since Mary was herself
a poet, it is not surprising to find
that Jesus often spoke in words
which sing with the beauty and
rhythm of fine poetry.
• • •
Patriotism and the Poor
M ARY WAS A woman who lovQd
her country. We are so fami
liar with the ■"Magnificat*’ as a
church anthem that we overlook it
actually and originally was; a hymn
of praise to God for his mercies to
Mary’s nation, IsraeL
Her people, so long enslaved,
were to be set free. It is a- rev
olutionary hymn, too. Princes
are to be dethroned, the proud
cast down, the rich made emp
ty; but God will give his help
to the hungry and the poor.
• • • .
Mary and Jesus
L OVE OF HER Bible, love of beau
ty, love of her country; and
most of all. love of God. You could
guess this from the words of the
angel, but you can see it plainly
in this song. It is an outpouring
of joy and thankfulness to a God
who is very real and near and
loved.
Every mother lives again in
her sons; in Jesus we can see
the manner of woman Mary
must have been. When the boy
Jesus caH<^d God his Father,
who had taught him that word?
When the young man Jesus
fought off temptation by using
the Word of God, who had first
guided him to do this? Where
had Jesus learned Scripture
except under his mother's roof?
