BUY A FLANDERS POPPY
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the Sky
The larks still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below, We are the Dead, Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset.glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae,
The foe is now poverty, disease, disablement—the bitter aftermath of war for so many of its direct and indirect victims. The Poppy Day Fund stands as a barrier, stronger every year, between those who have no other help, and the slough of deepest despond.

it clear that the art of marriage is the art of life.
There are few wives who have seriously investigated all these searching inquiries into the conduct of marriage. It will be helpful to think about them separately and collectively, for as a rule we seldom survey.mar- ried life as a whole. We drift

There is a technique of marriage, and the wife who has mastered it should try to explain it in a simple and direct fashion. She should describe her method of mak- ing marriage happy.
There are many wives who could reveal their dis- covery of the best ways of creating a happy home. They have performed the miracle and they can, if they take the trouble, disclose the secret of their triumph.
The wife who has made her husband happy and her children happy knows how she did it, and she could tell us a great deal. that we do not find in books or in
philosophies or in theories,
We know a good wife and a good mother
when we see hor, and we recognise her power and her in- fluence when we enter hor home. But we are sadly ignorant about the processes which are at work in the happy homo. If only the good wife and the good mother could make known the secret of her magle, the new wife might imitate her and put her precepts into living practice.
