LETTER FROM LESLIE PRKSOTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT CONTINt'ED. “I cannot help what you think bout It, Leslie,” barked Jack. “I shall Insist upon knowing how and when and where my wife goes when she leaves her home.” "Pardon me. I shall spend most of my 'time at the telephone then and you will have to have an extra secretary to take the descriptions of my ‘going-outs’ and ‘coming-ins.’ Be sides, you have been informed that I am going tomorrow morning to meet my mother. She Is going to leave on the tenth and I probably will be coming home on that day. Possibly I may stay over another twelve hours..” Jack was now beside himself with rage. > ‘‘l’ll wire your mother that you are not coming.” "Os course I can’t keep you from wiring mother any Insulting thing you choose, but after you had sent me to my father for a great deal of money and I had brought it back to you, I surely think you are making a mistake to wire my parents that you will not allow their daughter to see them off. Os course what you wire them will make no difference to me for I want you to understand. Jack, that I am going and more than that I am going to do anything else that I please. I have a mind and am supposed to use It. Up to date I do not think ,1 have made any more mistakes than you In the management of those affairs that have been entrusted to me.” Asserts Self “Do you mean to tell me, Leslie that you are going to certain places, whether I like it or not.” "Do you mean to tell me, Jack, that you have never gone to places where I would not want you to go without consulting me?” "Oh, what’s the use of talking to

as unreasonable a being as you are? You know as well as I that, while that damn picture is on here in the city if you leave town it will kick up an awful scandal." “Oh, that’s It, Is It? Now I have gotten to the crux of the matter. You have been disturbed over this picture. I am quite sure I don’t know why you should be, except that you want to safeguard the name of your friend, Sydney Carton.” "I want nothing of the kind. Os course I haven’t the slightest Idea that little Jack Is the son of Sydney Carton. That Is just a figment of your silly brain. Just because someone leaves a baby on your doorstep is no reason why my best friend should be its father nor why some moving picture actress who has a story of a deserted baby In her picture should be its mother. Indeed, It seems to. me that a friend would Nprobably be the last one to saddle a baby on a friend. Personally I should be glad to know that as pretty a girl as Paula Perier and as decent a chap as Sydney Carton were the parents of our child.” “You have said that before. Jack. It Isn’t necessary to repeat It. Ugly Gossip ‘"Well I do repeat it because I want r.o impress upon your mind the ugliness of all this gossip. It will take a fresh start if you leave the city. People will say you have gone to get a divorce from me. Can’t you see it is Impossible for either of us to leave until that picture is off the screen?” *‘l have nothing to do with the picture, Jack, and you insist that it has nothing to do with you. I am going to see my mother and father off.” "All right, all right! Break up our home if you want to.” Jack strode out the door. (Copyright, 19f3, NBA Service, Inc.)

Small Squalls Perilous to Ship of Matrimony
Catastrophe either makes or breaks a home. Unless the home is built on a very unstable foundation, disaster gives it strength. Personal annoyances are forgotten in the common grief.
The small, every day grievances of life are what undermine even a Arm foundation. The nagging—" Mary, I’ve told you not to bother mo; ’ “John, your ashes belong in the ash tray, not on the rug;” “Agnes, will you stop that?” The bickering—“Mamma, James is pulling my hair!” The annoyance of small bills —“Why can't you keep down expenses the way my mother used to?” These are the things that cause divorce. A great deal of love and tolerance and generosity of soul are needed to guide the ship pf matrimony safely through the squalls. Daughter Suffers Pear Miss Lee: I am a girl of 15. ! am out of school tiecaufo of a nervous tin .ikdown My parttiiu ar the maul ' 41180 They nag at oath other from morn until mehl, all over some foolish thing, It arts my nerves Jumping' sideways. I try to hold tongue, but sometimes it slips ” Dad will not got a job. Ha lias lived almost on my sutlers' and my money. Hi scolds us girls about nothing. He raves, stamps and swr-ars until I think I shall go mud. Mother Is a nervous wreck and 1 am sinking, too. What van Ido ,o help things out? I'll do anything you sav I'll try any thing onee, ELIZABETH There is not a great deal you can do, as long as your mother is willing to put up with your father, except to "grin und bear it,” until you are old enough to strike out for yourself. Hs member that your mother is having a harder tlmo than you are, so you must bo brave for her sake. You or your mother could go to Juvenile Court authorities to force your father to support you, As long as conditions are unpleasant at home, take your mind off them by reading good books and by putting your whole heart into your school work, when you are able to return to school. Cousinly interest Drar Mts Lee: X have a cousin who is 21. Sho is to be married Christmas to a man 19. Don't you think ths ages will make an awful difference? Bho says that she loves him and he loves her. They funs from the time they got together until they part, and she usually ends up crying. He comes to sco her every night. Now. Miss Leo, don't you agree with mo that if they fuss before they are married, it will be worse—ln fact terrible—afterward? Pleaeo tell me what to advise her to do. Sho asked me and I told hi r I would study It over and now I want your ndvice A HELPFUL COUSIN. I quite agree with you, but you must be very careful about giving advice, even when it is solicited. A boy of 19 Is not old enough to shoulder the responsibilities of marriage and usually is unable to support a wife. And the difference In nges, when it runs Into years, should be on the other aide.

When a patient is to be tested for color-blindness after a severe Illness, In which the eyes and optic nerve are involved, great care must lie taken that the conditions are perfectly norma! before any such test is made. Otherwise, total color-blind-ness may result Instead of partial, by strain and excitement. This rather peculiar affliction is also the result of Injury through Mows on the head, which may have caused you to see stars and rendered the nerve centers (optic nerve) incapable of conveying the true light or color sensation to the brain. Sometimes the brain cells are so injured by contact that ever so slight a jar renders color discrimination a difficult process. Total color-blindness is rare. When this condition actually prevails, the entire solar spectrum seems to appear as a neutral gray or grayish tint. The person so afflicted loses the value of objects in size as well as color to a great extent. Partial color-blindness is perceived in one-half of the field of vision only.

School Bag

SCHOOL bag may boa dull, commonplace affair ordinarily, but If it Is bestowed as a Christmas gift, It ought to (Jevelop soma imagination and spirit. This one. very easy to make, consists of a root angle of burlap with a frieze of fantastic looking elephants gambotttig over lighter cok ored linen. If this would not induce a cheld to bring home his books with a feeling of actual pleasure, we despair of Ills efforts at erudition. The other half is normal In Its distinction and color perception. Again one may be able to distinguish colors near the eye, but at a greater distance he is color-blind, especially for green and red. Color-blindness may be prevented to a certain extent. In diseases of children, in which the eyes suffer attacks and the optic nerve is involved, care of the eyes by binding to shut out light, or not using for a certain time, will often help. The health examination once or twice a year by your physician will detect the slightest colorblindness. When the first symptoms show in later life, carefully avoid all habits, as drink, smoking or excessive reading, which may cause this affliction to increase.
