Heart and Beauty Problems
By Mis. &
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am twentyfive years old and although I have met and been loved by many, I could never return any of their affections. A little over a year ago, however, at a house party In the south I met an officer of the U. S. army and I loved him. He told me he loved me, too, and after I came home we corresponded for nearly a year. About a month and a half ago he came to see me and was our houso guest for a week. During this week he again told me he loved me and
asked me to marry him. I said I would and accepted a ring. Toward the end of his visit here I was rather hurt when upon entering the music room I discovered him kissing my sister, whom I love dlvotedly. After she left the room I asked him why he wanted to marry me, if he found pleasure in kissing others. I also told him that I would release him from our engagement if he even thought he loved any one else better than me. He answered: "I may kiss a million women, but deep down in my heart I love you, and you are the only girl in this world I would have for a life pal." I noticed in particular that he did not promise not to do bo again and in fact he did kiss her again. After he left, the wedding day set for the first of November, he wrote every day. My 6ister, however, kept laughing and ridiculing me for wanting to marry a man who would make love to others, saying she only permit
ted him to kiss her to show me how fickle be was. Perhaps she was right, and as my pride would not endure this ridicule I sent the ring back, telling him goodbye forever. He wrote twice asking me to be sensible and think things over before saying good-bye. Those letter I ignored. I have gone every place, trying to forget this man. Isn't it strange how a face will haunt you? The first thing in the morning and until the
last thing at night he fills my neart and mind and to save me I cannot tear him away. Sometimes I feel very humble before this great regard of him, and am tempted to write and ask him to forgive me. Please advise me.
THE DEEP PURPLE. You have done exactly the right thing in breaking your engagement. The man is unworthy of your love and could only bring ou unhappiness with marriage. Your sister's attiude surprises me. To kiss your fiance was false and dishonorable. Her desire to show you the truth about him was no excuse for her to cheapen herself to such an extent. There are worthy men in the world, and do not lose your faith that you
will meet one. Of course it is hard to
forget but time will soften your suf
fering. Do not excuse the man for one minute. When you think of him remember how cheap he was to be
false to you and to flirt with your sis
ter.
True Stories of Successful Women By Edith Moriarty
A Chance to LiveBy Zoe Beckley . .
From an adding machine operator
to assistant treasurer of a structural iron company is an unusual Jump, and
when it Is a girl that makes it and she does it in less than ten years it is 6till more unusual. That is exactly what Rhea Wells did and that is why she has a place among successful women.
Miss Wells claims that hard -work accomplished the results and that the only strange thing about her career is that she was able to master the problems in the scructural iron business when she could not even pass ordinary high school subjects.
Although she found high school far
too much for her, Rhea Wells stuck
at it until she was finally convinced that it would take her at least ten years to be able to pass the required subjects, and when she had that all figured out she left school. She had to support herself and so she started to work in the cost department of a large structural iron plant. She was put to work on an adding machine and her pay was four dollars a week. There were often days when Rhea had very little to do and then she would be asked to help in other departments. Usually that meant sorting and delivering the mail to the various departments or helping to file the correspondence. She liked this much better than running the adding machine and she learned a great deal about the workings of the plant which she could not have done had she remained in the
cost department. When a vacancy occurred in the filing department she
ANNIE STORMS THE CITADEL The procession was of goodly Fize, quieter now and resolute under the admonishments of the leader. At first Annie was caught in the suction and carried along. Later as the throng swung into broad Delancey street she could have escaped and caught her car for home. But something urged her to continue and see what happened. She had been thinking constantly of the problems of the poor and of her own in particular ever since she and Bernie heard the soapbox orator. Bernie, even more keenly interested than she, brought home some leaflets one
night, handed out by another street speaker, and together they pored over them. From these Annie learned that Socialism was the name of the doctrine propounded by the speakers and by the leaflets. Fragments from one of the hand Mils floated through her mind as 6he allowed herself to be magneted into the throng of marching women: "You must own the tools of industry before bread will be secured to you." "Ycu live under a system of society where the few revel in luxury and the many labor in the sweat of their brows fcr daily existence." None of it was quite clear to Annie, yet she connected it somehow with the demonstration of which she was now a p?rt. A womar grasped her arm and drew her vigorously into line with the lumping housewives. "Ocmo on come with us," she ci-ir.Tl, "hplp us get bur rights food fr.r cur Ftarving children!" The queer army came to the Bower" and turned southward, amid the r.'frf!! and jeers of puzzled onlookers. At Chatham square it veered off into Fark row, rounding the Municipal building and crossing westward to the
city hall. A f$w policemen looked doubtfully at the strange procession, but did not stop it. "Don't resitate. March on and follow me!" ordered the leader as with her motley band she entered the little park where stands the mayor's office abiding place. Motormen in surprise stopped their cars. Hundreds of pedestrians paused to gaze. Half a dozen policemen, hesitating no longer, approached the women. "Have you business here?" asked one, touching the leader's elbow as
she marched her cohorts up the broad steps of the city hall.
"We have," she answered firmly. "We wish to see the mayor." The women crowded up into the classic pillared portico, more determined than ever, having got thus far. The policemen now saw that they had an unannounced visitation to deal with. "You can't go in here like this, in a gang; what's the matter with you?" the spokesman began. "Have you got an appointment with the mayor?" "That's my business," said the woman more emphatically than diplomatically. "Come, friends!" she called to the women behind her, and again she 6tarted to enter the building. The officer became businesslike at once. "Your friends," he said, with a stay where they are. Hey, youse get sta where they are. Hey. youse get back there!" At his signal the other policemen proceeded to force the women backward. They resisted and there was a lively moment or two. Some one telephoned for the "reserves" and in five minutes enough of New York's bluecoated guardians were clanging up in patrol wagons or
on the run, with drawn sticks to dis
perse an armed mob of rioters. (To be continued.)
when the sales manager left. Miss Wells was given the position, but tho general manager, who did not believe in women holding responsible positions, insisted that it was only hers temporarily. It was a rather unique position, that of sales manager in a structural iron plant, for a young woman of twentysix to hold, but she proved as great a success at that as she had been at filing and at her many other duties. She held this position for two years and a half and then after she had got her department in good working order she was asked to take over the collections
department, which was in a hopeless
muddle. Gets Square Deal. It took her six monthts of hard work with no regard for overtime or holidays to get that department into proper working order, and then when the managed wanted her to return to her filing work and to give the rejuvenated department to a man Miss Wells refused. She went to the directors of tho company and stated her case. She told them how she had revived two failing departments and installed an efficient sales follow-up system and then she told them that unless she was given a position of some responsibility she would leave. Even the manager who had no faith in women as executives was not willing to see her leave, and so it was that Miss Wells was made head of the collections department and then as an added honor she was made assistant treasurer. She is but twenty-eight years old and is earning $4,000 a year. She, like many self-made men that one reads about, claims that her success is due to the fact that she started in at the bottom and learned all there was to know about every branch of
work with which she came in contact and that she staid with one concern
long enough to be almost indispensable to them. Perhaps the most important thing in her eyes, however, is the fact that she
just happened to choose something which interested her. Had she chosen
some other kind of work she might
have found it so dull that she would
have remained in the unremunerative position of adding machine operator
until the end of her story and she
mihgt never have known that the
business of structural iron work was something interesting and far from
overcrowded with women.
NEW TO PROTEST ALLEGED ABUSES IN CIVIL SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Senator New, of Indiana, is prepared to make vigorous protest in regard to the way the civil service has been disregarded in Indiana, especially by the postoffice department. His protest is an aftermath of the 'declarations made by former Chief Commissioner Galloway, of
the civil service, a Democrat, who de
clares he was forced off the commision because he refused to permit Postmas
ter-General Burleson to institute various rules that would make the ap
pointment of a Republican to a postmastership impossible.
In line with Galloway's declarations.
Senator New today cited two instances of what he termed the abuse of the
civil service in Indiana, one in regard to the postoffice at Milan and another in regard to the Winchester office.
In Milan, several persons took the
examination, and Charles B. Alton received the highest grade. He was cer
tified to the postoffice department y
the civil service commission, and his
nomination was sent to the senate by
the president. While the nomination was pending before the senate postoffice committee, the postoffice department sent word that the nomination should be held up. Senator New started an investigation to know why the nomination was held up, and although he had not known previously what Alton's politics was, he found that Alton was a Republican, and that this was the sole reason for the nomination being held up. At Winchester, four Democrats and one Republican took the examination last February. Benjamin E. Hinshaw, Republican, received the highest grade
and was certified to the postoffice M partment In ApriL Since that tlm there has been no action In the case, and Senator New believes that Hia? ehaw's appointment is being held up until some way can.be found to appoint one of the four Democratic competitors for the appointment.

asked if she might have the place and
her previous bits of experience there made her the logical person to fill
it. Two years from the time she went
into the filing: department she was
made head file clerk. Becomes Sales Manager.
In this position she was able to get
a rather good insight into the sales
end of the work and she became in
terested in sales follow-up system.
The company seemed to be lax in this matter and it looked to Rhea as though many sales were lost because
of an inefficient "follow-up" system and not only that but there seemed to be no good method in use to deter
mine just how many sales were lost and how manv were made by their
method. Rhea wanted to try a new
svstem. She consulted the manager
about it and he told her to start it im
mediately. She proceeded to build up a system for the promotion of sales follow-up which proved so practical that many other concerns in the same
citv adopted a similar one.

You begin to eat things that used to worry you even to think of them, the rich things of the banquet, the savory home-made sausage, the toothsome pies and puddings, and all the balance of a long list of eatables that so many stomachs have been strangers to. A Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after meals relieves gassiness, rumblings, drowsiness, sour risings, heartburn, water brash, and the feeling of being "stuffed." They contain harmless ingredients which act with an alkaline effect just as the stomach does when
perfectly healthy. Thus, instead of
milk or cheese curdling into a hard ball, so you can taste it all day, it is broken up and converted into a substance for quick and easy assimilation. It is the same with those other foods which your weak stomach has had
trouble with. Get a 50-cent box of
