Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompaoa

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl nineteen years old and supposed to be pretty. I just seem to be In the "way all the time at home, although I am the oldest of seven children and I do try to help as much as possible during spare hour. But what is the use when 1 only only get snubbed? If I ask my sister to go with me someplace she will refuse and answer in the most indecent Tay. I am very fond of music and am studying voice with a teacher here in town. This teacher tells me I have an unusual voice and encourages me all the time, but when at home my mother will only pick on me, saying I practice too much and tells me to quit my lessons, although I work all day long and pay for the lessons myself. Some people tell me I am a lucky girl, but if they could only look into my heart they would think differently. Vpon all these troubles comes the one hardest to bear. There is a young man five or six years older than mytelf, employed in the same building I am. He is married and has one boy. This young man shows an interest in me and is so interesting whenever talking to me. I love him with all my heart. From the very first that I saw him I knew that he was just the kind and only man I could love. He has told some other fellows that

he thinks very much of me. A few times he has said that he wishes to

see me at a certain place and would like to dance with me, but I never would go. The other night, however, I went to one and the minute this man saw me he came right over and asked politely if he could dance with me. He danced with me twice and during the dance he pressed my hand. I have never let him know that I care for him. My health will fail me, I am so unhappy. I beg you to show me a little sympathy. CAMILLA. I do sympathize with you because you are on the verge of doing something very cruel and dishonorable. You have no right to think of or encouraging that married man. Perhaps you think you are suffering, but you do not know what suffering is in comparison with that of a mother who has lost her husband's love. If you have love in your heart you will give up your position and work where you will not see the man. But if you stay where you are and tempt him yourself you are hard and selfish and unworthy. In regard to your family forget yourself, and think about giving pleasure and love instead of getting it. You must learn to be less selfish and then you will find that your life is very nuch happier and full of love.

True Stories of Successful Women By Edith Moriarty

Myra Presided Over the Cash Drawer for the First Year. When Myra Hill was a small girl she lived on a farm in the country. Her father wa3 not a great success as a farmer, and so Myra, like most other little country girls, had many chores to do, and perhaps the main one was that of helping her mother in the kitchen. All of Myra's little girl friend3 hated to cook and wash dishes, and thought Mrya queer because she admitted she liked to took. Even Myra's mother thought it rather strange that her little daughter should prefer to stay in and help with the evening meal instead of running out to play or reading fairy stones or sewing doll clothes. Her mother found Myra's liking for cooking a great help, however, and especially in th harvest time, when there were many hungry men to feed, it would have been almost an impossible task if it had not been for her small daughter's help. Before Myra was sixteen, she had taken over the kitchen as her own private domain and she ccooked almost all of the meals in the Hill household. Her mother helped with the farm work because the Hill's could not afford a hired man, and eo Myra's culinary talents were a great asset. When Myra was eighteen she was graduated from the country high school and she was planning to go to college to study domestic science and household administration. Her father had been more successful when his wife helped him more, but he still was in no position to send Myra through school. Earned Her Education. He finally decided that he would sell part of his farm to get money for Myra's first year at school and that he and his wife would turn the remainder into a truck garden and a chicken farm. With that he thought he could earn as much as he had before and perhaps, with concentrated efforts, he might earn more. Myra was to earn her own board and clothes and other necessaries. It was rather hard for her to find work which would enable her to attend school in the day time and still give her time to get her studying done. She had not been at school a week before she found the right thing. She took a position as a telephone operator in a private exchange, where she had to work from three in the afternoon until nine-thirty at night. The exchange was not very busy during ihese hours and she usually had time to do most of her studying while she worked. For four years she worked at the same place, and she paid all

her own tuition, her room and her

board, and other incidentals. During her four years at school she never received more than five dollars at a time from her parents and then the money usually came as a Christmas present or a birthday present, and represented a great sacrifice because her father's truck farm had not

been as successful as he expected and her mother had not been in good health. When the four years of struggle were over, however, Myra felt that it was worth while because she was

graduated with a good knowledge of the theory and practices of modern domestic science and household management as well as scientific management of lunchrooms and institutional dining rooms. Now her one ambition was to open a restaurant of her own. She was graduated the year of the war and she longed to do something to help, but it seemed to her that there was no way that a poor girl who had to support herself and help Bupport her family could even help in the war work. Then she hit upon a plan that seemed to her more like true, but which would be her first wish if she could have a wish granted. Hopes Soon Realized. She thoueht that if she could open

a restaurant in one of the large cities

where var workers were gathered together and if she could serve good wholesome meals to the many girls in government employ who were doing their bit away from home and if she could serve them for a moderate price and not profiteer she might not only help herself and her family but many other self-supporting girls just like herself. She told her plan to the dean of her college one day and to her surprise the dean thought it a very practical plan and not an idler's dream at all. In fact she became so enthusiastic that she started planning with Myra just how it could be worked out. Myra 6aid that she thought the capital was the best place to start for it was so overcrowded with war workers that

surely another restaurant would be a paying proposition. The dean then decided that if Myra would bring her a plan well worked out on paper that 6he would present it to some trustee of the college who might be interested and that some way the money might not be raised. Myra was very excited. Her dream

seemed about to come trus and yet it i

was so uncertain. She spent many days getting all of her plans on paper and finally presented them to the dean. The outcome of Myra's dream was a small but airy cafeteria in the OOT-t W.ckl. T.-hrt

, ui aoiiiugLuii. a lit; man iiu j backed the proposition bought the

equipment, rented the building space and forwarded enough money for the first stock of food. He then hired Myra as general director and manager on a profit sharing plan. Myra who did not want to be too indebted to him insisted that he take out a mortgage on their little farm as a sort of security. Her father was willing and so it was finally arranged. It turned out that the little farm was able to supply the cafeteria with most of its xegetables and all of its eggs and chickens before the end of the first year. The end of the first month found

profits in the cash drawer over which Myra presided for the first year of her business venture. The cafeteria continued after the war ended and it

is now on its third year. Myra is combining her farm and restaurant and she manages both of them. She has a corps of workers who help raise the vegetables and fruit for her table and she has another corps who cook it and serve it in her sunny little eating place. She earns an average of two hundred and fty dollars a month on her -profit-sharing plan and she is only twenty-five years old and has just been out of school three years. She now wants to establish a chain of restaurants in all of the large cities in the country and she says the only thing which mars her work is the fact that she can not do all the cooking herself. She does, however, direct the making of al of the fancy dishes herself and she likes that bit of her work best.

talk! It won't do you no good." He didn't know what she was saying, but he guessed it closely. It was "some kind of mischief" she was plotting, and that was enough. "'Remember today!" the woman flung her final word and scrambled down from her makeshift platform. Little by little the assemblage melted into its tenements and by-streets. The pushcart men, cajlling upon Jehovah to witness their ruin, salvaged what they could of their stocks, raking the gutters with their trembling hands. Urchinse beset them with jeers and pranks. The policemen stood around for a, while with an air of half-good-peared one by one. (To be continued.)

THE PROTEST MOTHERS 1 The crowd thickened until Annie shoved and proded by matrons twice and thrice her size, shrank into a doorway to wait and see if the thing should not end suddenly as it began, and her path to the Gubin shop be opened. The excitement, however, was not quite of the casual sort she had seen before. Like her quarrel with Bernie, it was the bursting forth of many

pent-up grievances. The more they talked the more their anger grew. A tornado of rage was soon sweeping the women out of all self-control. Earsplitting clamorings in Yiddish and English dinned through the air. Boys began to catcall, babies to cry. The hoarse shouts of hucksters rumbled through the feminine chorus. The mob swayed back and forth. Frenzied pushcart merchants strained to save their property. There was no

longer any center to the multitude. The woman who had started it was lost to Annie's view. Everyone was pushing, waving arms, shouting protests and suggestions for a remedy. Suddenly an alarm was raised that the policeman was coming. The mass of women with the helpless peddlers in the center of it, tightened and surged in the opposite direction. A pushcart upset. The fruit and vegetables were crushed under foot in an Instant.

THE FLAVOR LASTS SO DOES THE PRICE!

The maddened housewives raised a shout of triumph, and several other carts were willfully pushed over, their wares trodden viciously in the filth of the gutter, while the sellers tore their beards and raised a wail to heaven. Three policemen, with shouts and club wavings, sovehd the crowd before them. Annie saw a woman detach herself from the thick of the press, spring upon a pile of boxes in front of a provision store. Waving her hands for silence, she began speaking rapidly in Yiddish. "It's the leader! It's the leader!" Annie heard several quick whispers, with pointings toward the stocky fig

"Hey, there, get down outer that and stop your noise," shouted a bluecoat, as he and his allies worked their way to where she stood. "Cut that
