WITH THE WOMEN OF TODAY I ; ; ; ; Ji

"There ,fa no reason why a woman cannot do an v thine when she gets a chance to spread . her wings." This Is the belief of Mrs. Pauline W, McMillan who is claimed by Milwau kee to be the only woman commercial salesman of electrical supplies in the country. Only now Mrs. McMillan has graduated from the selling on the road to sales manager for a big Ohio con cern. In her ten years on the road she has made an enviable record for her self. She has worked with steady success until today she is the highest! salaried woman in the state or sne was until she went to Ohio. This has been her Job for the past year. She became assistant to the president of an Akron, O.. electrical concern, and became also general ' sales manager. Then she helped in the reorganization of the company af ter a big fire, was an active execu tlve in the reorganization of the com pany into half million dollar company and was in charge of many details of the building. With the work of reor ganization and rebuilding completed, she came to Milwaukee for a rest, having gotten the wheels turning by themselves. In summing up her work Mrs. MoMillan says, "In ten years on the road selling to men as a business woman, asking no favors or special consideration because I was a woman, but playing the game in the man's way I did not have a single unpleasant experience."

Heart Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have cared for a schoolmate from childhood. I used to think that I never would marry another, he was so much to me. While I have loved him sincerely from childhood to womanhood, he never showed any particular preference for me. He always treated me courteously, but I knew he did not care for me as I did for him. Nobody knows of my feeling for him. I have always said it would be a secret between me and myself unless be showed in some way that he cared for me. Lately I have become acquainted with a man twice my age. He has asked me to marry him. I feel safe in saying that he is one of the best principled men I evere met. He has no bad habits and seems very fond of me. I have no reason to doubt him as he is a man of his word. My work has brought me Into his company for the last four years so that I feel very well acquainted with him and his ways. He is kindness Itself, always remembering me before others. He has ample means to furnish a good home and I have to admit in my own heart that he is more of a man morally than my schoolmate. Yet I am afraid if my schoolate were to ask me to marry also, that I would accept him, for I have dreamed all my life of someday being his wife. ' What would you advise me to do? Marry the one and forget that lever

TO. J TBOMPJOKN cared for the other, or reject the older one and run the chanco of some day winning my childhood sweetheart? He doea not live sear me now and I may never see him again. Would the difference In my age and the older man's be too great, do you think? He will soon bo an old man. Should I tell him of my fancy for my schoolmate If I take him? GllAY EYES. The man you love does not exist. You have dreamed about your schoolmate until you have created an Ideal and it is the ideal you, love. .This is unfortunate because it has prevented a normal Interest In other men. I would not advise you to marry the older man for two reasons. You are not in love with him, and there is too much difference in your aces to have congenial . tastes. - Do not wait for the schoolmate. Recognize the truth thai you have dreamed more than was wise and start now to take an interest in other men. ' "-' , ,ni,,Dear Mrs. Thompson: T have been going with a certain young man for about a year and we attend a great many dances together. There is another young man who goes to the came dances and is almost, constantly there on the same nights. I know him well and do not like him in the least, in fact I hate him. He always makes it a point to ask my friend to trade a iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllliw

dance and I can't bear to dance with him. - - . " v - -; : : - Do you think it Is my friend's place to refuse him, or should I? And how should I do it? He is a nice young man morally, but I can't bear him. PEDPLEXBD. ' It is your escort's place to make an excuse so that the dance will not be exchanged. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twelve years old. My mother is all the time scolding me for things my uncle does and for having girl friends come np and ask for me. She never treats me as a mother should. She goes out with men and scolds me for not wanting to go to the show so she can have fellows come, and I always have studies to get.. Please tell me what I can do to make her treat me as a mother should. A WORRIED ONE. Some people have so many blessing that their characters are not testde. If you' are strong under your misfortune you will grow into a beautiful woman and can profit by the mistakes your mother has made. You can find much happiness in your studies and bok8 and friends. It may be impossible to help your mother, but perhaps through love and making an effort to understand her, you can gain your desire.

Railway Fares Soar Throughout Germany ' (By Associated Press) " MUNICH, Feb. 12. Railroad fares already ' soaring to unprecedented heights all over Germany despite an equally unprecedented poverty 6f service, are going up again, and this time with a jump to take away the trnveller's breath. Prussia, attempting to make up a deficit of a billion and a quarter marks, is going to put up the fares for passengers 60 per cent above the present high rate. -Bavaria and the rest of Germany are expected to do likewise and to be effected by a general increase. - Coincident with this unwelcome announcement comes word that all passenger traflic is to be reduced by at least 60 per cent, all military and freight trains by the same proportion. The delivery of hundreds and thousands of locomtives and cars to the Entente powers under the armistice terms is given as the main reason. ' Passenger traffic is to be even more restricted than today, and no individual is to be allowed to travel by train unless he can prove to the satisfaction of the authorities that the trip is urgently necessary. Germany began on about Dec. 20 to deliver to the Entente armistice commissioners 110 locomotives and 2,400 cars a day for ten days, then 150. locomotives and 320 cars a day for twenty days so as not to be liable to the penalty included in the armistice conditions of parting with another 500 locomotives for failure to deliver on time.
