She Married an Average Man
BY ZOE BECKLEY
"Continuing our lecture on babies." breezed Athena, coming in for tea. ind laying a handful of golden daffotils in my lap,- "I wish to add that In my youth I was much like you lid not care an awful lot about having them." " "Well?" I smiled. "What Is the Inference?" "The Inference." replied my instructive friend, laying off her wraps and kicking her rubbers across the floor, "is that the' love comes with the babies. .You needn't worry about that part of it." - "Tell me, Athena, have your son ind daughter been sources of wonder-, ful comfort and Joy to you?" "Yes," she replied unhesitatingly. "Hartley, I admit, is rather a fool in gome ways," she continued with her characteristic candor. "But he is still a calf. With ray brains and his
father's goodness he'll simply have to
turn out decently. "As for Evvie, I can honestly say she has been a" joy to me since the day she was born. Caring for her, teaching her. learning Jrom her, and
w atching her grow, tempered my whole
character and enriched it. "Evvie is a wholesome, smart, busy,
useful, happy woman now. But even
if she had not turned out well I should
look upon her birth as pure gain to
me. Children are an experience, dear." "So Is typhoid fever." I said, naught
ily, "yet we don't feel broken-hearted
"without it." "Because typhoid doesn't do any
thing to your character," said Athena.
"Of course a bad person, sick, resolves
to be a good person thereafter. But
the illness does not deepen and broad
en his character permenently. One of the most distinct turning points in my life, Ann, was the birth of our Evvie." "How. 'Thena, dear?" f "John," she answered briefly. "John liad had a hard struggle. He was disheartened. He had gotten in with some undesirable companions. He was gradually losing interest in me and in our home we were bitterly poor. Evvie made a new man of him. ller tiny baby self fascinated him. Her helplessness amazed and arrested him. And I did the rest," finished Athena, with a grin and a sbfrug. I know for an absolute fact that she has "made" her husband. "You think if we had a kiddie it
would draw Jim -and me closer to
gether?" I asked.
"I know It would. Jim is an oldfashioned man: not a modern type of thinker. Besides, men are usually fond of children. Perhaps it is because they have so easy a part in
their borning and rearing! But why-
ever it is, most men like them. I sometimes think men care more for youngsters than women do nowadays. Anyhow,' Jim's the type of men made for daddyhood. A baby who would smear his immaculate face with molasses and drool down his neck would be a real humanizer to James. I'll bet you my new Doucet model that all
you two young folks need to be really
happy together is a family. I gasped a little.
"Surely you don't believe in the
old-fashioned sort of family, a dozen
or so.
"Well, I should say not! What, do you take me for, child? But that
that's another . story, as faiend Kip
ling says. Wow! It's six o'clock. I must run. John's bringing home some
men for dinner." (To be continued.)

Heart Problems
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl almost seventeen years of age. I go with a boy who is just sixteen. My brother says I should not go with him as he is too young for me. He also says he is not decent I have gone with him for some time and he has been a gentleman. Is It all right for me to go with him? E. P. S. At your age you should be very careful of the friends you choose and should accept council from other members of the family. Your brother may have good reason for saying what he does. Talk the matter over with your mother and get her advice. It seems to me you are too young to go with boys. - Dear Mrs. Thompson: I would like your opinion of a man who has gone with a girl two years and does not give a Christmas present. Do you think he cares for her or is he a T. W.? If he can make a big show of himself ho will spend. What he has is always so much better than what any one else has. As far as treats go, he is not lavish and he has plenty of money and no one to spend it on. He "is proud to go with me, having
known my family name for years. If
you didn't like his character, how would you suggest breaking away in a kindly manner? LONELY JANET.
This man is selfish and because he
Is not engaged to you does not realize that flowers or candy at Christmas
time would give you pleasure. Selfishness of this nature makes women very unhappy. If you feel that you do not like the man's character I would cer
tainly advise you to break away from
him. Refuse his invitations and do not let him call. You can be courteous hut firm. Doubtless he will be hurt, hut that you cannot avoid. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young girl seventeen years of age. A little over a year ago I started correspond
ing with a soldier in France. Last August he returned to the States. He
has written me tvice. I answered his last letter about three weeks ago and he hasn't answered yet. I have never seen him. He spoke about coming to see me several times, out he has not. Do you think he will "write any more? If so, should I continue to correspond with him? ANXIOUS. r 1 ! .J (. - i 1. A I
l uae no info, w iieuttr ur not uiu -oung man will write again. He may he ro occupied with his former friends that he is satisfied and has lost Interest in his correspondence with you. If he does write. I see no reason why you should not continue the corre-Mionri'pTice.
Comb Saga Tea Into Gray Hair Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and Lustre at Once.
Common Garden sage brewed into a heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is trou
blesome. An easier way is to got the ready-to-use preperation improved by the addition of other ingredients, a large bottle, at little cost, at drug fctores, known as Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While gray faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. Afafter another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appea" years younger. Adv.

Crisp, snow-white, brown-crusted slices of home-made bread ! The very foundation of a good, wholesome meal. Such bread has been found in America since the very day of its birth. It builds brain and brawn and bone as no other food can do. The pioneer mother relied on it, and witness the men she produced the strong, clear-thinking manhood that made thiscountry great. The need for such baking continues, for we are pioneers, too. We must build for the future as they did, and build as strong. The strength of tomorrow is now in the making we must give the kiddies their due and the kiddies need mother s baking tc help their bodies grow. Valier's Enterprise Flour vrill give you the means of baking the best bread ever made. ( ' ' It is milled byaspecial process from the finest hard wheat grown. None but the best is considered, and we pay an unusually high premium for every bushel we use. Add to this exceptional wheat, rich in gluten, the fineness secured by repeated sifting through silk, and the result is a flour unequalled in the field of good baking. Of course, such high quality flour costs slightly more in the sack, but it really costs less on the table. There are no failures to count as waste.
