Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a high Bchool girl seventeen years old. Thre Is a boy In my town nineteen '-ear1 old of whom I think very much. I have cared for him tine ,.. .. think I always will. He says he likes me. but he won't go with me. I am considered goodlooking and I act like a lady and have pretty clothes. What do you think is the reason he does not want me? He is very independent. If you don't know how I can get him, please tell me how to forget him. JUNE. Analyze your thoughts. I think you will find that you permit yourself to think about the young man altogether too often. Probably yon realize that you are wasting time, but you enioy thinking and do so anyway. To forget him you must push him out of your thoughts as often aa he enters them. This can be done. Keep active. If you work, associate with young people with an open mind to enjoy yourself, and if you read, you should havf no trouble to forget the young man. You are worshiping your own ideal. It is unfortunate that the young man does not give you a better chance to know him. Friendship would probably banish your ideal, and disappointment would lead you to seek a new one. Of course I advise against trying to

THROUGH THE DEPTHS. Annie was shocked, but not unduly apprehensive. She had high confidence in her young husband. What hurt most was the ignominy of dismissal. "Just how did it happen. Aunt Mog?" she asked at last. "Did Berne go into another of those pool things?" She thought with a pang how she had ben diverted frotn getting his promise r.ot to. "H t-iert to, dear.

Simms told me the only way to cure a boy of the habit is to frighten him thoroughly. I wish, dear." Aunt Moggie added, "you'd talk to Bernard seriously about this." "Oh, indeed I will, darling!" They had reached the car line. Annie put hr aunt board with an affectionate liocst. smiling and waving goodnight ap the car moved off.

A flash of memory brought hack that day when Aunt Margaret had been replaced at her publishing house by a younger woman, atid Annie had first noticed with a shock and a sense of uncanniness, the streaks of silver in the hair, the lines in the loved face that time had traced. She went homo feeling subdued and vaguely fearful Annie and Bernard talked till late that night. Annie pleaded well and wisely, stopping just short of the "I-told-you-so" rebuke, knowing instinctively how it goads a man to fury.

True Stories of Successful Women By Edith Moriarty

Peggy Callahan was twenty-one when she made the decision which changed her whole life. Her family and friends thought she was making a grave mistake. Peggy and Mr. Black of the Black Company thought differently. It waa Mr. Black who had persuaded Toggy to leave her position as stenographer for Mr. Maxwell, bis lawyer, where she was earning fifteen dollars a week, and accept a place as clerk in his large department store for twelve. He had asked Peggy to try her hand at salesmanship many times. j JVo Raise I America's own table drink with a flavor similar to coffee INSTANT POSTUM

"win him." Such a thing is practically impossible and would compromise you. You have no magnetism for him and therefore he does not care for you enough to want you.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: (1) I am a young girl sixteen years of age. When I am with a crowd 'of young people I can't talk much. It seems as if I can not think of anything to talk about. Do you know of anything that would help me to be lively and a more pleasant companion? (2) When a girl and boy are walking together, which side 6hould the girl walk on?' DIMPLED CHEEK. (1) A good talker is always someone who is immensely Interested. You probably feel listless and are not j thrilled with anything. Usually the j cause of such a foeling Is inaction, i Get busy physically and mentally. Go In for sports and if you want worn, sew or make a garden. It is late in the season for a garden, but you can still plant some things and Improve. You must also read and keep yourself well posted with what is going on in the world. After you become Interested, you will have thoughts. Do not repress them. Often thoughts will come, but from listlessness they are not expressed. (2) The girl should walk on the inIside. Four tablespoons crisco or lard, one quart shelled peas, salt, pepper to taste, two sprigs mint, one tablespoon lemon juice, one tablespoon chopped parsley, one teaspoon sugar. Shell peas and throw into plenty boiling water containing a teaspoonful of salt sugar and the mint; boil fast until tender, then drain. Mix lemon juice with crisco or lard and parsley; stir this among peas; reheat them and serve at once. Riced Cheese Potatoes Potatoes, one-quarter pound of cheese, tablespoon butter, one teaspoon salt, onequarter teaspoon pepper. Cook as if for mashed potatoes. Instead of mashing run potatoes and cheese through ricer at same time. When done put lump butter on top and salt and pepper. This is very good and makes an attractive dish. bad idea to stay too long in one place. You get in a rut. Now, if I get this Job tomorrow " He talked on, inspiring Annie with his own confidence, and they finally fell asleep with unoppressed minds. The next morning Bernard started off sprucely to keep his appointment where "the fellow" had spoken for him. When he reached there, he found the manager was out. He waited a long time. Other young men kept coming in and taking seats, also evidently waiting for the manager. Gradually Bernard's enthusiasm waned, there being nothing more calculated to destroy elation than the postponement of fruition. The impressive little talk he had rehearsed on his mind dwindled in vitality, and by the time he was summoned he had to force into his bearing a show of personality and capacity for the job. Somehow he had not calculated on the man asking him minute particulars as to how he left his last position. The friend who had "spoken for him" gave Bernie the impression that he could "walk right into this job" and that it exactly "fitted him." He stumbled around the answers regarding his departure from Simms & Orcutt. The manager looked at him deprecatingly. which did not add to the boy's ability to pick up confidence and make a good showing. "We'd have to have the best of reference," he said. It is a responsible place, with prospects. If we pay twenty dollars we must have the right young man to start with." "I 1 thought the salary was twentyfive to begin." Bernie's surprise made him utter the remark without thinking. "I understood " "Well, son, you understood wrong," cut in the manager, whose finger was already touching the electric callbutton on his desk. Leave your name and address with the boy outside. We'll let you know. (To be continued.) but always in a joking way, and when he finally made her a proposition and talked to her seriously about it she accepted. She had been Mr. Maxwell's stenographer for three years. She started in at ten dollars and at the time she left him she was only getting fifteen. According to her way of thinking, there were no prospects of bettering herself in the future there, and according to Mr. j Black's ideas there were unlimited op- ! portunitles at his store. And so Peg1 gy started to sell neckwear on the i first floor at Black's. Not "Genteel." Her family was horrified. They thought stenography was so much more "genteel." It was not long, however, although it seemed ages to PegBy. before she was put in the gown department. In three years the family haft become reconciled to the saleswoman in their midst, for she was earning thirty dollars a week, more than either of her older brothers. Then she became discouraged. She always had large sales and a "big book," but there was something lacking. Mr. Black seemed to sense it even before Peggy did, and he gave her the best remedy possible. He piled more work upon her and gave her more responsibility and of course an increase in pay. She rose to the occasion and. bending every effort, soon had mastered all of her new tasks. But in another year she was again becoming dissatisfied. This time she was on the verge of leaving when Mr. Black offered her the position of buyer for the misses' dresses.

climbed in five years from a twelvedollar a week clerk in the neckwear department to buyer of the misses' dresses at a salary of fifty dollars a week.

The salesmen would not believe that this young girl was head of the We are as close to you As you are to a Telephone m 3 m p Si ss m m C3 3 is M U Si a a 3 y I S3 53

department. Her family and her friends alio were now fully aware of the foresight she had shown when she gave up stenography. There was not one girl from her class in business school who waa earnin more than thirty dollars a week at stenorraphy. Was Best In Company Peggy was by far the best business woman in the Black Company and it was really amusing to see the salesmen from the large New York houses who asked for the buyer of the dresses when Peggy Callahan, a pretty black-haired young woman of twenty-six, put in her appearance. Sometimes the men would not believe that this very youthful and unsophisticated looking young girl waa the head of so large and important a department. It never took them more than twenty minutes, however, to discover that she was not only the buyer but she was one of the keenest buyers In the business. And usually at the end of ten minutes they extended an invitation to dinner or a theatre. Peggy never accepted. She made a rule for herself at the beginning of her career that she would not put herself under obligation to any salesman and she never has. It is common knowledge about the store that Miss Callahan refuses

more invitations than most people receive. Too Big For Job Peggy was found to be too big even for her fifty-dollar a week position. She had made her department the best one of .its kind in the city and by far the most popular department in Black's store, but she was not satisfied. The woman's gown department in Black's was almost a failure. Peggy asked for a chance to make It go, and of course It was given her, although Mr. Black frankly said he thought her taste was too juvenile for the women's gowns. Peggy nevertheless took over the department in due time. She worked over it and studied it and cared for it as though it were a neglected waif. Soon it showed signs of life and finally it developed, into as profitable a department as her misses' frocks. She had added another achievement to her long list To crown this success she was given one hundred dollars a week and was allowed to merchandise herself, which means there is no "man higher up," when it comes to the women's and misses' dress department in Black's. Today Peggy is twenty-eight years old, earning one hundred dollars a week, managing two departments, and even designing many of the frocks she sells, a big jump from

O., Aug. 2 The village council will on August 15, open bids for the paving of High street, between Campus and Patterson avenues. Proposals will be received for several kinds of paving material, though it is understood that the members of council unanimously are in favor of brick. Another reason why It is almost certain that brick will be used is that the state's appropriation of $22,000 to pay for Miami University's share of the improvement was made upon the understanding that brick was to be used.
