I tlKAKT AND BEAUTY I PRflRIFMS

By Mr. Elizabeth Thompson " V V '

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl, 23 years old. I have been through college and am a music teacher. I have a good home and splendid parents. I have received offers of marriage from two young men with whom I have been keeping company. Both are two years older than I. One 13 the son of a very prominent and wealthy man. He is the one I really love but he has been engaged to so many other girls that I am afraid hia attraction for me is but a passing fancy. I do not believe that he was ever engaged to a girl unless he really thought he loved her, but his lovs Is not lasting. I am afraid he will cease to love me after we are married. He is not fickle in his business dealings for he is considered a splendid business man. I do not think he loves me. The other young man has a hard time since he was a small boy. His family is poor and - his father is a drunkard, but nevertheless he Is- a man of splendid character. He is a lawyer and is gaining eminence in the town in which he lives. I know that he loves me with all his heart, and I have always loved him as a brother. I am afraid that if I refuse him he may think fate is against him because he had so little encouragement in his earlier life. I know that I have been a great help to him. . DISTRACTED. Don't marry the first man for his money. It looks as though that might be the chief attraction. You do not have to refuse the second man. Keep his friendship and do not accept any

man until you are absolutely sure that you love him and that he loves you. Surely you would not marry a man whom you know does not love you. I should prefer the friendship of the second man to the money and position the first man can offer you. II you should find that he does love you and you know you could be happy with him you should accept him. I advise you to wait until there are no uncertainties. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 20 and engaged to a girl of 19. I have earned my own living, you might say, for the last five years. I have enough money

saved and earn a good salary, yet my parents are strong against my marriage only because I am young. As far as I know I cannot get a permit without their consent. Is there any other way, or must we wait until I am of age? We had made our plans without their knowledge and have leased and partly furnished a small flat. Having helped with family expenses so far, I had not expected objection. They do not need my help now, but I cannot do or say anything to change their ideas. It puts me in an awkward position, for we cannot break the lease and do not care to rent out our furniture. Could I please ask for your advice? IN A RUSH. You cannot marry without the consent of your parents, and so you may as well give up the idea until you are of age. The lease can be broken since you are a minor and cannot legally enter into contracts. I. too, think you

I are too young to marry.

ing; give me work! There must be something I can do; only give me a chance, only let me in!" Into Margaret Bailly's mind a sudden Idea seemed to come. "Listen, Nancie," she said, the color coming into her grave, sweet face, "I have a plan. It's for us all. But promise me you'll do your share of it just as I Bay without an argument." "It's some new sacrifice, dear I Bee it coming." said Annie warily, her cheek against her aunt's. "You've done enough already. You're keeping things going for us as it is." Annie caught her lip between her teeth. She didn't dare trust herself to say more. Her old conception of Aunt Moggie as the personification of opulence and independence had faded along with other childhood illusions. She was still a dispenser of gifts, an angel of goodness. But in place of the enviable goddess of freedom was a lonely, selfsacrificing woman, the love of whose heart and the work of whose hands

was poured out for another's home, another's children. "Promise," the older woman was saying with gentle command. "Promise me, Nancie. When you were little you always did as I told you." Annie nodded uneasily, saying nothing. "Well, you're going for two whole

fat weeks into the country," went

on her aunt, making emphatic pauses between words, "to a farm I know.

And I m coming here to borrow your little bed and look after things

till you come bouncing home with

your cheeks puffed out and your eyes

bright all ready to TAKE THAT

JOB IN AN OFFICE!"

"Aunt Mog!" Annie came quickly round in front of her, holding her by

tne elbows at arm's length. "You

know I can't do it! You sha'n't

oui you promised. You know we

neiieve in keeping promises," Aun

Margaret cut in. "Now make your old auntie happy, dear! It'll save me money coming here." (To be continued.) By the agreement of December 5, 1899, among the United States, Great Britain and Germany, the Samoan Islands were divided between the United

States and Germany, Great Britain re

tiring and accepting compensation for

ner retirement in the form of colo

DISCOVERIES. Salted Peaunts Salted peanuts are now taking the place of salted almonds on the most fashionable tables. They are blanched, buttered an dsalted in exactly the same way thai; the almonds are prepared. To mend China and glass Melt alum in an old iron spoon over the fire and apply to the broken parts; When dry these articles can be washed in hot water and the cement will hold rigidly. ToClean Panama Hats "Use lemon and sulphur. Cut the lemon in half and dip into powdered sulphur. Rub this over the entire hat very thoroughly and place in the sun to dry. The lemon bleaches and the sulphur combined with the acid, does the cleaning. Something New Make banana sandwiches for the children's noon meal. Bananas contain nearly the same nourishment as meat and children usually prefer them to meat.

THE CHASM BRIDGED Aunt Margaret, spending almost every leisure hour at the Hargans' and watching her niece closely in the days following the fire, saw her broken condition. It was plain from the nerve-quiver that came at the slamming of a door, the undefined fear in her eyes, her trembling hands, that ehe was unable to carry the burden of the family. She saw Annie was trying frantically to control her palsied faculties, to clear her mind and gird her body for the fight. The heart of Aunt Moggie ached to see her being ground between the millstones of implacable necessity for earning, and the inability to stretch her meager equipment to the earning point. When Annie came home night after night and tossed her frayed little list of "Help Wanted" advertisements

discouragedly onto the table, the older woman knew what despair was behind the twisted smile, the misted eyes, the effort to choke down food. "I don't know what I'm going to do, Aunt Moggie," whispered Annie one evening after supper. "I've been to thirteen places today! "They won't give me work because I haven't experience. And I can't get experience if they won't give me work! "I walked in Wall street and saw hundreds of girls with jobs. How did they get the first one? How does a girl begin? And those well-dressed men-who look as though they'd never been hunghy in their lives going in and out of their offices, talking and laughing! I felt like going up to one of them and screaming, 'Mister you have got everything and I've got noth-

Your baby's health partly depends on the way you wash his clothes. The right way keeps the garments soft and sweet, and assures greater comfort and more resJtful sleep. Fortunately for mothers, the right way is also the easy

way. The Fels-Naptha way leaves the cloth es fresh and lily white and as sweet and soft as baby's skin itself. The naptha dissolves all of the dirt while the clothes are soaking. Ho hard rubbing is necesssary, nor do you have to "boil the garments unless' you really want to. Mothers everywhere are grateful for -Fels-Naptha
