Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elisabeth Thompson

I am to be married to the son of a Mch man. There are some things I nish to know. At a wedding what floes the- preacher 6ay to the bride nd bridegroom? What does the bride say? What does the groom say? PINK NOSE BUNNY. The minister simply questions the bride and groom, both of whom answer by. saying "I do" In the right places In the ceremony. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl and have gone with a young man three years my senior for three years. I never went with any other until he went to war. Then I went with several fellows, all of whom seem to like me, but I care for none but him. Mother liked him but did not want me to go with only one boy. She Is satisfied now that I go with others. I have given him my promise since he has been in the army but as we are both young we are willing to wait until we reach the proper age to

True Stories of Successful Women By Edith Morlarty

If you should ask some of New York's fashionable Fifth avenue modistes who Miss Jane Teasdale is they would probably shrug their shoulders or ponder a moment and then tell you that they thought she was a "wealthy spinster from the west who did her shopping in New York" or else she was "a good customer who certainly knew how to dress." Little did they guess, these shrewd shopkeepers, the real status of the smartly gowned woman whom because of her gray hair and stately bearing they all took to be a middle-aged spinster of "one of our oldest and wealthiest families." For it was Jane Teasdale's very deceiving appearance which had raised her from a twelve-dollar a week job In a laundry to her unique position which paid her ten times that amount. Jane started to work in a laundry in a large town in the west when she was a very young girl. She was a tall, slendor, graceful girl with an abundance of dark hair and an air about her which seemed foreign to a pereon In her surroundings. She worked at the laundry for many years at many different kinds of jobs and finally was made checker and paid twelve dollars a week. The work was hard and the hours long and so after years of the same kind of thing day in and day out Jane began to lose her youth. Then came family troubles and when the fateful thirty years came rolling around, It found many gray hairs in Jane's once black coiffure. Two more years passed and Jane was still checker in the laundry, her hair was more gray, and worst of all she was calmly settling down as if her life was about completed. Then she met the head buyer in one of the large department stores. She met him through a friend of hers who worked in the dress section. During the course of their conversation, he asked her how she would like to come and work for him. She said she would like it, but it meant nothing more to her than shorter hours and slightly better pay, but she accepted. FINDS GRAY HAIR NOT A HANDICAP Thus it was that Jane Teasdale be came a salesman. She saw nothing ahead for herself and often told Mr. Harding the buyer, that there seemed to be no place in the business world for gray- haired women, even if they were only thirty-three years old. She was a conscientious worker, however, and it was not long before Mr. Harding increased her work and her responsibilities. She became so efficient and progressed so rapidly that he (gradually turned over more and more tof his own work to her. He was rambitious for her to become a buyer, ifcut she, still persisting in the belief that her gray hairs would stand in the way of anything she wanted to -do, seemed to lack confidence. Mr. Harding was determined, however, and bo he made her a buyer in one of his departments. He did not give- her a large salary, for he was only experimenting, but he gave her when she made her first trip for the firm. He took her to see a play in which the theme was "clothes make the man" and later he took, her to one of the large hotels to watch a dinner dance which was going on. As they looked over the crowds he lasted her if she noticed anything peculiar. ""Why, yes," she said, "over half the women here have almost white hair and must be at least fifty years old. -and yet they all look wonderful, and yes, they look alive. A play and a dance had opened Jane Teasdale's eyes. She no longer looked at herself as though she were something old and decrepit, something o be cast aside and not worth while bothering with. She returned to the store with new ideas and a new Interest In life. Before renovating her lepartment she renovated herself. She became interested In her appearance. She studied herself and bought frocks and gowns which were particularly effective with her gray hair. She studied her face and fixed her hair in the most becoming manner. Then she turned her attention to her department. She wrought as big a change la that as she had in herself. She practiced her method of studying herself on her customers and, studying ach one carefully, she helped them choose clothes which were becoming instead of merely stylish. This gave her another idea. She decided to take a course in designing so that she might have gowns made to order from her own designs if she had nothing In "stock to suit her customer. Get F4r Position In New York City. At the end of three years she had wade a name for herself in the store Jand -among its patrons. Then came an unusual offer from a New York dress factory. The factory wanted someone to fill a new position they ?,ere creating and they thought Miss Teasdale, whom they had met on ta&ny of her buying trips, would be Jost the right person. The position Xras a ort of combination of shopper and deigner. Miss Teasdale accepted and started in her new work at a sat ary of one hundred dollars a week. Her duty as shopper is to go to the various exclusive fashion shops, look over their stock and select any gown or other costumes which she

marry. We have told no one of our engagement. He expects to be discharged in the next three or four months. When he comes home of course he will not want me to go with other fellows. I have tried to tell my mother how fond we are of each other, but she says we began to go together when we were too young and will change our minds. She does not know of our engagement. Should I do as my mother wants me to or go with him .and keep the promise that means so much to both of us. BLUE EYES. My answer depends entirely upon your age. If you are very young I think it would be best to go with several boys before making up your mind that you want to settle down with one. If you are old enough to know that you really love this boy, and want to marry him later on, I should think It would be best to tell your mother of your engagement.

Her exquisite taste in her own costuming and her refined manner give her the appearance of a woman of means who is purchasing clothes for her own wardrobe. She pays for the frocks from a personal checking account which is furnished by the factory. She makes the round3 of the exclusive shops at the beginning of each season and selects the gowns best suited to the needs of her concern. Sometimes they copy the frock in less expensive materials and sometimes they merely copy some of its best features. As assistant In the designing department she introduces many of the lit-

Today she is thirty-seven years old, she no longer thinks of her gray heair as an obstacle on the road to success and she has almost forgotten that It was but four short years ago that she thought twelve dollars a week was her limit. Today she is earning ten times that after one year spent in her new work.

News for the Housewife at Preserving Time Here is a recipe for preserving syrup that will give you finer jams, jellies and preserves and save you about onehalf your trouble. Instead of all sugar use only one-half sugar and one-half Karo (Red Label). You will find this means clear, firm jelly ; rich preserves with heavy syrup ; and delicious jams, mellow and "fruity". Karo is a fine, clear syrup, with a natural affinity for the juices of the fruit. It blends the sugar with the fruit juice brings out all the "fruity" flavor. Furthermore, it prevents even the richest jam or jelly from "candying". It does away with all the uncertainty of preserving, and just about cuts the work in half. For cooking, Baking and Candy Making Karo (Red Label) is used in millions of homes. In all cooking and baking recipes use Karo instead of sugar. It is sweet, of delicate flavor, and brings out the natural flavor of the food.

A Chance to LiveBy Zoe Beckley

FORTUNE'S WHEEL SLIPS Annie's re-start Into tenement life was made gayly, so to say. She bad not In her mind a clear picture of what Bernie's $14 would buy. The glamour of the up-town flat tenement though it was, but modern was still upon her. She dwelt more on having had It than on losing It. It was rather a proof of life's kept promise than the betrayal of hopes. If it had existed, It would again, for facts are only viewpoints after all. She was young. Love was still warm. The novelty of marriage, motherhood and housewifery was keen and fresh. Of course, she realized there would have to be strict economies. But there was zest In thrift, satisfaction In making little go far. Besides, she was used to it, and knew how. She had every intention of keeping a clean, cozy home in her grimy tenement. The dreariness of the street should be 6hut out. Whatever dirt, whatever confusion of washtubs, unmade beds, soiled dishes, littered floors and squawky babies existed In the neighbors' flats, should form no part of her existence. She and Bernie and Robsie would live in a poor but clean and sunny little world of their own. She was mildly disturbed when Bernie came home from work "feeling punk" from his cold. But It was a wifely pleasure to run to the druggist's on Avenue A and get some quinine, rush back and make a pitcher of steaming lemonade, dose Bernie well, wrap him in their warmest bed things and watch him go off to sleep, murmuring that he'd "sure be O. K. in the morning." He aoke early next day, saying he was a lot better, and set out as usual for work. There was more standing out In the wind-scourged street that day, seeing off the loaded trucks, checking his shipments, aorrecting the marking of a case of goods here, seeing that a wrong box was hauled off a wagon there, and all the while he kept sneezing afresh and feeling more and more than "like the deuce." He came home with headache and fever, and his cough worse. "Do let me send for Dr. Kelley," pleaded Annie, clasping anxious hands "I'm afraid you're geting the grip, Bern. Do you ache all over?" "Don't go fussing," said Bernie. "I won't have any doctor. All I've got is a bad cold. Just lemme alone and I'll be all right." He went to work next day, coughing distressingly, and racked with pain through the lungs. He came home early, and Annie saw by his flushed face and strained look that something more than a mere cold was the matter.

Without waiting for supper he lay down on the couch "for a few minutes' nap," as he said. Now thoroughly frightened. Annie flung on her things

and went for Dr. Kelley, the old pbysi-jj cian who had always been called in,H when any of the Hargans were sick. His office was six or eight blocks away. When Annie got there she was told the doctor had recently given up practice and gone away to rest. "But there's Dr. Byrne," said th woman who opened the door. "H takes care of the ould doctor's work. He's in, ma'am." Dr. Byrne was young and brisk. He agreed to accompany Annie home to have a look at Bernard. "It's probably only a heavy cold," he said, casually. "Or a touch of grip; there's a great deal of It around just now." (To be continued.) The youngest girl ever to appear In concert at the Metropolitan opera houe, New York, is Magdalaine Brard, fifteen years old, who played the piano at a recent Sunday night concert.
