JL MRX. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson I am alone in this big, wide world. I am in the twenties. A few months ago my gentleman friend went to another town to work. At that time I thought I didn't care for him. He seemed to think a lot of me and we had known each other about five years. He tried to get my company, but I never accepted, it until July last. Then h I s folks wrote to him and wanted him t o come home. He came to me the night before he left and said he was going to leave the next morning. I wished him good luck, but it was under my breath. Neither of us said anything about writing. Would it be proper for me to write him first, as I feel that I want to apologize for the way I have treated him. I also fear he might be called to fight for our country, as he is within the draft age. . If you think it is proper for me to write, please give me a copy of how I should start a letter. Should I ask him to write by retur mail? A. B. C. X. Y. Z. The boy should write first, but Revelations of a Wife JACK'S FAREWELL NOTE Only something of the utmost importance, I knew, could have induced my brother-cousin to write to me. He was too careful of my welfare to excite Docky's unreasoning jealousy by a letter, unless there was desperate need for it. Finally, I sat down in an arm-chair by the window, and breaking the seal, drew out the letter. "Dear Cousin Margaret," it began: I thought involuntarily of the last letter Jack had sent me, the one announcing his return from the wilds of South America, and asking me to dine with him and celebrate his return after a! year's absence. That letter opened' with the line. "Dear Little Girl." and; closed with "Always yours. Jack." j But when he had written the first ; letter he had not known that I had1 married during his year's absence in aj land so wild that he could neither j send nor receive letters. j He had come back to civilization toi -tHl me something of which I had never j dreamed so like brother and sister; had we ben that he loved me and. wished me to be bis wife. i I did not like to remember the look; on his face, when after he had told j m. I had made my belated confession! that I was married. I turned to the letter again: "Dear .Cousin Margaret I have decided suddenly, to go across the pond and get in the Mg mix-up. You per haps remember that I have spoken to ,?oi frequently of my friend, Paul Caillarn who has been with me In many a bit of ticklish work. He was with me in South America, and like me, heard of the war for the first time when he got out of the wilderness. He is a Frenchman, you know, and is going back to offer bis services to the engineering corps. "And I am going with him. Mar garet. I think I can be of service over there. Paul Calllard is the best friend I have. As you know you are the only relative I have In the world, and you are happily and safely married, so I feel that I am harming no one by my decision. "If Anything Should Happen" "We sail tomorrow morning on the Saturn. It will be impossible for me to come to your home before then. So this is goodbye. When I come back, if I come back, I want to meet your husband and see you in your home. "And now T must speak of a little matter of which you are ignorant now but of which you must be told before I go. Before your mother died, I had made my will, leaving her everything I possessed, for you and she were all the family I bad ever known. After her death I changed her name to yours. If anything should happen to me my attorney, William Faye. 149 Broadway, will attend to everything for you. He is also my executor. "Most of what I have, would have come to you by law, anyway, Margaret, for you are my 'nearest of kin' Isn't that the way the law puts it? But you might have some unpleasantness from those Pennsylvania cousins of ours, so I have protected you against such a contingency. "And now. Margaret, goodbye and God bless you. "Your affectionate cousin. Jack." I finished the letter with a numb feeling at my heart. It seemed to me as if one of the foundations of my life had given away. When Jack had left me after that miserable reunion dinner where he had been hurt so cruelly by the news of my marriage during his year's ab sence, he had said an. now wen I remembered the words "I shall not THOUGHTS When you spend something, get something.

since you expect him to be called to service I think it would be all right for you to write him a letter and wish him luck and a safe return. Do not apologize for the way you have treated him. An apology is entirely uncalled for.

own way. Do not ask him to answer your letter. If he wants to correspond with you he will write whether you ask him to or not. Dear Mrs. Thompson I am nineteen years old and my friend is twenty-two. We have been keeping company for three years. Do you think we are too young to be married if we have money enough to live on and our daily habits are good? B H. G. Yes, you are too young.

I had not expected to see Jack for months, perhaps years, but the knowledge of his faithfulness, of his nearness, had been of much comfort to me. And now he was going away, probably to his death. The most bitter knowledge of all, was that which forced itself upon my mind. Jack was going to the war because he was unhappy over my marriage. He had rot said so. of course, in the letter which he knew my husband must read, but I knew it. The remembrance of his face, his voice, when I told him of my marriage was enough. I did not need written words to know that perhaps I was sending him to his death! fit

Smmg of The Sunbeam How Co Avoid Those Pains and Distress Which so Many Mothers Have Suffered. Too much cannot be said for a wonderful preparation familiar to many women as Mother's Friends. 1 It is more effective in its action than all the health rules ever laid down for ihe guidance of expectant mothers. It is an external application that spreads its influence upon the cords, tendons and muscles of the abdomen, rendering them pliant, and they expand 'gracefully with that peculiar wrench ing strain. The occasion is, therefore, one of unbounded joyful anticipyation and too much stress cannot be laid upon the remarkable influence which a mother's happy prenatal disposition has upon the health and fortunes of the generations to come. The pain at the crisis is infinitely less when Mother's Friend is used during the period of expectancy for the mucles expand easier and with less strain when baby is born. Mother's Friend is for external use only, is entirely safe an may be had of your druggist. It is prepared by the Bradfield Regulator Co.. D-205 Lamar ' Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. Write them to mail you their interesting "Motherhood Book." They will send it at once, without charge, and you will find it very helpful. Do not neglect to apply Mother's Friend according to directions around the bottle, and thus fortify yourself against pain and discomfort. Adv. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT State of Indiana.
