Heart and Beauty Problems

By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I -was born and reared in another state. My people were not careful as to convention or character. I do not understand why I 6hould have been different, but they have held me in scorn for years, because of my "narrowness." Being ostracized by the people I so longed to be among, I began to realize there was small chance for a girl with my surname in that part of the state and so 1 moved away. I am very glad I moved for here I -have an opportunity to satisfy my craving for friends among nice people. Vet here is my problem. Can a girl bo entirely away from her own people? I became acquainted with a fine young man in the office where I work. We have gone together almost a year. He wants me to marry him, though there has been no formal engagement, that Is, I have not accepted a ring, and have made no vow. I do know that I love him and he is everything I

could wish in the way of a husband. His people live out of town and they invited me down with him for a week end. They are very well to do from appearance, and have social prominence. I have tried my best to overcome the uncomfortable feeling ' that I had been under much discussion ' and that my visit was merely to settle .a Question of fitness. Indeed, I fear I could not have stood it except for my friend's pride in me. I have come to understand since then that they have taken the pains to look into my family, for, a little later I received a most unkind letter from his mother, urging me to release her son, assuming, of course, we were engaged. I have told him nothing of the letter, knowing it would only hurt him.

He knows bis people are opposed to our marriage and he also knows the truth about my people. He says he will not give me up. He is twentyseven and my superior in both looks and social position. I am twenty-four and not very pretty, not of the type that generally attracts men, having been accused of being too sane and sensible. At any rate I shall have to admit of few friends among men and no former lovers. I believe, however, I would make him a good wife. Could not his parents make life very unpleasant for him in case we married against their wishes? I do not love him so deeply but that I could cheerfully give him up in case it is for" the best? Would his marrying into a family like mine prove a handicap to him, as his mother feels it will?" Would you please tell me

what you would do under such circumstances? VERY RESPECTFULLY YOURS. Marry the man. Of course you can make him happy and you need not fear his parents. They are so cruel and unreasonable that they will lose his respect. Your fiance's future depends upon what he makes it. His own ability and character will win his place in the world, regardless of his wife's origin. I know from your letter that you will be a great help to him. It shows so much intelligence and character. Certainly you realize that you could bring him greater happiness, because of his love for you, than any other girl, no matter what her social position. Imagine that you are advising some other girl in your position. I am sure you would say that she should marry. The prejudice of his parents means nothing in the face of love.

A Chance to LiveBy Zoe Beckley

BEING OPTIMISTIC. Though she was back In very nearly the old tenement district of her infancy, Annie regarded her surroundings, her whole situation, from a new and brighter viewpoint. She was still the pawn of circumstances. Bat the helplessness of childhood no longer weighed her down. She was no longer the victim of the will of other persons, as children always are. She did not have to live in the disorder some one else created. Nor wear the humiliating, poor little frocks fashioned of Uncle George's "samples" that had caused her more suffering in the old days than the grown-ups of her family dreamed. She had not to do this or that irksome task without knowing why. Or wonder and blunder along through a maze of happenings and obligations that were ali more or less a mystery to her childish mind. She was free now in a measure. She had love. The baby that lay in her lap, that waked her in the night, that worried her with threatened illress and was her constant care, was

lesh of her flesh, blood of her blood. And if the responsibility of tending aim was greater, so was the joy of the service. Her home, humble as it was, she could keep as she chose. The money in her purse, little as it was, she could administer. She felt the vague promise of fate-mastership, soul-captaincy. She never for an Instant felt sorry her childhood was past. And although she had slipped back again into tha grip of poverty, she did not feel it was forever, thanks to the optimism inherited from her father. The immortality of the soul had never been subject of thought to Annie. But her father's hopefulness, his teachings, his indomitable spirit through failure, through sickness up to death itself, lived on in his daughter. It would be passed on in turn to her son, and again in some measure, more or less, to her son's son. And on, and on. Immortality of the soul? Annie would have said unhesitatingly yes and unconsciously she would have proved it. What troubled her most right now, however, was an item very matter-of-fact and close at hand. She wanted to find something to replace in her young husband's life the pleasures of the Waterwitch Boat Club. She looked out of her kitchen window toward the East river and smiled wryly as a picture of Xew York's downtown waterfronts came to mind. The Battery was beautiful, but the waters lapping it were as far from the reach of Bernie Carroll and others

like him as were the blue waves of the Adriatic sea. She thought of the Hudson yes, there were some bathhouses far uptown, from which a person living on the east side, after traveling an hour by various car lines, might bathe in sewage-dimmed water. The East river? Annie remembered the "garbage dock" where she had been sunned as a baby. Boys swam

off it naked urchins who dove from the Btringpiece and were not fastidious in the matter of chips and wrecked tomato crates, decayed fruit and patches of floating oil. No place there for a canoe or rowboat! (To be continued.)

Dernberg Urges "World

Tax To Pay War Debts AMSTERDAM. Aug. 11. A "world" tax, to be imposed by the League of Nations on all countries in order to cover the costs of the great war, is advocated by Bernhard Dernburg. who resigned at German finance minister when the national assembly voted for acceptance of the peace terms. Dernburg's chief object in urging this project is to hit what he calls the

"financial deserters," German capital-1

Ists who have taken billions of marks Into neutral countries during the war and have been speculating on the German exchange, with enormous profits to themselves and to the detriment of the Fatherland. He estimates that the total sums thus taken or sent out of Germany during the war at 20,000,000,000 marks

"profiteers" in bitter terms. These i

German capitalists, he says, have been responsible for great decreases in the German exchange. They cannot be reached directly, he says, because of the intricate "dummy" system, but if an international tax were provided, affecting neutrals on the same basis as belligerents, these "financial deserters" would be properly punished.

Every housewife every MAN of the home should read the following letter: The service we have enjoyed iri our household from a Thor Washing Machine, purchased from you seven or eight years ago, has been really remarkable. "We have a family of three small children, consequently the laundry work has been quite heavy and the Thor has been run weekly, and very frequently twice a week for all this time without ever falling down on the job, and the machine today is in good working order, capable to do the washing for a long time to come. "We figured out the other day that the Thor has actually saved ue $600, in addition to the great satisfaction and the saving in time, the elimination of ar ranging for laundresses and looking after their wants, to say nothing of the disappointing quality of the work when it is necessary to change laundresses. "We have had the greatest satisfaction from our Thor machine, and we look upon it as indispensable to the household. We would advise the purchase of a Thor Washing Machine long before the fine furniture or solid silver or even a piano, is thought of. "We are so enthusiastic about it that we feel that we could convince tha most doubting prospect you ever got hold of. Cordially yours, "River Forest, IlL (Signed) MORRIS R. EBERSOLE."
