'q v Heart and ' Beauty Problems

By Mrs. Elisabeth

; "Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am nineteen Tears of age and have been keeping steady company with a fellow one year my senior. Both ' our birthdays are at the . end of this month I am going to be twenty. He has , asked me to -mention something I Would like for birthday gift'1 Is it proper for me to accept a gift from him or reciprocate? ,We are not engaged, but of Course there is a' mutual ' understandtag. Mother say a it is wrong - for me to take' anything from him, although she. does not explain why.- "What is your opinion? V Then again, my mother objects to my ' going around with this friend much ' longer ' unless we become engaged. I - know this fellow is doing his best to ' hurry things - along, and that in time, all will be well, and I fm " willing to wait, but mother says am wasting the best 'years of my life waiting for him to make good. I don't care to make any more male acquaintances, as mother ' suggests to me, to try to forget my friend. I. am willing to give up any other good times as I know this is my mate, but i I tell you It is hard to listen to what She Married An

i I had an unexpected visit from my old schoolmate, Reta Sterling, today. Jteta Is one of those women with an egotism which-makes anything that happens to her, anything she owns, or does, or feels, the exactly right and

I desirable thing. She bad always Just

VA taken the most marvelous tnp in me yi world, or survived the most remark-

tlnguished herself with school honors, or . her husband has negotiated a million-dollar deal. To hear Reta talk one would think' her an absolute pioneer In life's experiences the only human being who had done exceptional things. . "I hear you're writing!" she exclaimed, vivaciously. "I hate to think of your having to work. dear. But probably there are compensations. "Now, I wrote a book once. A famous critic said it was the most remarkable book he had read In twenty years. He advised me to take it to Everest's, because my idea was way ahead of the times and they were the only house progressive enough to print it. They kept it four months, Ann, and Mole yes. absolutely stole-my theme for it came out later in a novel of theirs. I wonder, dear, if you have experience enough of life to write successfully? You see, I had traveled so much, and married early, and then there was that affair (I never deny it) with-the French count whom I'd met abroad in the sanitarium. Then my husband's failure and rapid rise again, and all our changes, though I'm still go young. And, my dear, I have the children! Children are such a marvelous experience. What a pity you have no child, Ann: dont you feel It so?" "Well, frankly, dear, I don't." I answered. "We've been married only a bit of a year, and I've always felt a little sorry for young wives who had the responsibility of a family before they were sure their marriage was going to be successful." ' Reta looked pained and shocked. "But surely, dear, marriage Is a sac- ! : "If it Is a sacrament, why are girls and boys allowed to enter into it wlthrtnt the sllehtest instruction or prepa ration? Honestly, Reta, dear, I cannot bring myself to think mere marriage as men have arranged it. Is sacred unless love and loyalty are fnere. Could you regard the marriage it the Frosts or the Darbys, who frankly hajed each other, as sacred? X think it was a degradation and a in against their souls to live together. X have actually heard little Coralle Frost say: 'I do wish mother and father would get divorced and let me live with either one of them. They wouldn't quarrel all the time then, and make me ashamed to invite any ono to the house." 1 "But that isn't the fault of marriage, Ann ; it's the fault of those particular people," defended Reta. ' "Haven't you ever known women and men, too, who married with th best intentions and were wretched through no fault of theirs ?"I asked. "How about Lucy Hart, whose husband went Insane through drink? Lucy wouldn't marry Tom Barns, who loved her and had half a million dollars. Remember how she worked herself Into invalidism to support her children, and drowned herself in the creek? Nothing terribly sacred in her marriage, I should say."

mother has to say and then cannot obey her or please , her. I know he

will make good. Please tell me what to do. "XYZ." It is not proper for you to accept valuable gifts from a man to whom you are not engaged. This is a perfectly reasonable rule of convention. When a girl has permitted a man to spend a considerable amount of money on her, she Is under obligation to marry him. Some girls, however, lack honor in this respect and tolerate men merely for the presents they give.. Of course it would be all right for you to receive various gifts of moderate value, but do not let him make you a present of Jewelry' or anything costly. . t haHava vmir mother Is wrone to try to hasten an engagement. The! man Is young and snouia iirsi establish himself financially before he asks you to marry him. Follow your own Judgment and wait. If you give him a present, make your gift something small, such as a book. Average Man come, my dear!" cried Reta. "When you have children of your own you'll feel differently about the whole matter. You you believe In children, don't you, darling?" "Yes, Reta, I believe in children and I hope to have them. But I think they should be regarded as human privileges, not as divine accidents."

Reflections of a Bachelor Gin BY HELEN ROWLAND (Copyright. 1919. by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) Good morning! Have you renewed your "interstitial gland?" Never mind! Gland or no gland, if you can feel bells tinkle In your pulses, stars twinkle in your eyes, and all life blossom Into a Christmas tree, full of dreams, illusions, and glittering possibilities at this magic season, you are still young with the eternal youth of the gods! Some husbands ' are never more than one-half of one per cent married, and the other ninety-nine and. a halt, per cent pure flint. A sweet home life looks about as enticing to a bachelor as a cage to a wild canary; but, after a year or two of warmth, comfort, regular meals, and having his bath prepared for him, you couldn't tear either of them away from it. At first, a man's flirtations make a woman weep, then they make her wonder, then they make her weary but her love is never quite dead until they make her laugh. The average man steps blithely over the quicksands of flirtation, under the impression that it is the rock of Platonic friendship, and never realizes what has happened to him until he finds himself up to his neck In a love affair. The biggest, bravest man that ever CATARRH DOES HARM Whether It Is of the Nose, Throat, or Other Organs, Get Rid of It. Catarrh of the nose or throat when It becomes chronic weakens the delicate lung tissues, deranges the digestive organs, and may lead to consumption. It impairs the taste, smell and hearing, and, affects the voice. It is a constitutional disease and requires a constitutional remedy. Take Hood's Sarsaparilla, which by purifying the blood removes the cause of the disease and gives permanent relief. This alterative and tonic medicine has proved entirely satisfactory to thousands of families in three generations. If there is billlousness or constipation, take Hood's Pills, they are a thorough cathartic, a gentle laxative. Adv. 1919 TO 5.00

lived Is built like a barge; and any little woman who pur up steam enough, can . attach blm to . her ' and tow him all the way up the stream of life. . , . If husbands and wives had to die. as well as dine, simultaneously, most of them would never get to heaven, for arguing over which road to take, and who should have the first choice of wings. "Mental cruelty" and "phychological incompatibility" are the newest and smartest names for the came old "grounds" cold coffee, cold kisses, hot words, luke-warm affections, and the morning battle over, the newspaper. Every scientist and metaphysician seems to be discovering a new way of prolonging life Just as the H. C. L. and the labor situation have caused most of us to doubt that life is worth living at all! Every woman envies a man his ability to go into each new flirtation with all the enthusiasm of "first love" and the undauted faith that it will be "the last."

Lady Randolph Churchill, 8 Westbourne Sk.HydePark, London. is said to have the best furnished house in England and the finest taste in furniture of any Englishwoman.

Hs perfects his phonograph to a point where its realism is astounding. Then he determines to make each Eokon PBonogkats, even the least costly, aa attractive piece of furniture. Instead of the usual dentist-like looking cabinet, his designers have succeeded in putting the character and feeling of the best periods into bis phonograph cases. J These graceful and artistic productions will be hailed with delight by all who can afford them, and will cause Mr. Edison's new phonograph to be received ia many houses where less worthy anarhinrs have not been welcomed heretofore." tome to our store.
