Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elisabeth Thompson
Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a girl of 17 and I have been engaged a year. K few weeks ago mother and I had i fuss and she asked me to leave home Mid I did. . Now my friend wants me to get married, but I tlo not feel that I am old enough and I want to wait two more years. Would you advise me to take up movie acting or 6tage work? How late do you think it proper for a couple to sit up if they are
engaged. A Forsaken Blossom. I
If you do not waht to get married, then you most certainly should not do bo. I am quite sure you can obtain a good position and make enough money to keep you comfortably while away from home. Always act ladylike, go to church and meet good people and after two years you probably will have saved some money and be more ready to get married. I think 11 o'clock is late enough on ordinary oc
casions, unless you are out to a theatre or dance. ' This is late enough, since both of you work and have to get up rather early. In answer to the letter signed "Broken Hearted," I am glad to say that you can easily obtain a divorce on the grounds which you have You can also get the custody of your children by proving that the father is not a fit character to rear children, and he will have to support the children. Your grounds for divorce' can be based on cruel and inhuman treatment and also
a statutory charge may be made against him. I am quite sure you would have no trouble in geting a di
vorce, and I would advise yau to con
sult an attorney at once. Your going back and trying to live with him will not hinder the case, I don't think. I
hope you may keep the children and be happier than you now are.
She Married an Average Man
BY ZOE BECKLEY
A woman, it seems, must do things; In her own way; not in man's way. I sit alone' today, unhappy and discontented, trying to figure out why I went last night with those two men to that gay dinner, with Its wine and Its dancing afterward. I suppose it was an attempt on my part to find an outlet for my rebellious spirit. I did it just as a man rushes into dissipation, to drown care and trouble. But now I know I cannot be comforted or satisfied with that sort of teasure. A woman must have some-
Wk thing deeper. The crashing liveliness V of the gayly lighted restaurant distracts, but it does not soothe. Expensive wines, the hilarity of the dance, exhilarate, but do not uplift. A woman's needs are more subtle, her mental processes more intricate. It shams yes, and sickens me to think of what I did last night. Those men, Randy Lynch and his handsome friend, Wayland. care nothing for me beyond the fact that I seemed to offer
"a good time." They preferred to take a pretty, well-dressed woman than a plain one. So, chance bringing me into their vision, they chose me. The first part of the evening rather pleased me, I confess. The cocktails were magic, the dinner delicious, the wines perfect, the atmosphere of the place would have heightened the spirits of a mummy. But presently I felt myself tiring of it all growing dull and unresponsive. It didn't satisfy me from within. Randy Lynch as editor of the magazine that gave me work was one thing. But Randy Lynch outside of business Is quite another man. Nothing distresses a decent-hearted woman so
much as a loose familiarity. She hates to be touched indiscriminately, in the taken-for-granted way Lynch does it. I found myself always drawing my shoulder or my hand away from him. The other man, Wayland.. employed subtler methods the repressed admiration of the artistic wooer. But he is without heart. Altogether, I feel cheapened and disgusted. I don't think I could ever go back to the "Messenger" to work for Lynch. I have thoughtlessly de
stroyed me sate ana pieasani relation that existed between us, of employer and employed. I have stepped down to the shoddy level of the girl who accepts entertainments from any one
who offers it. I have been untrue to myself. Other women, other wives even, do worse than I did, whispers my consciousness. Well what if they do? It isn't what you do that counts against you, it is how sincere you are in doing it. Do something" that is against your nature, something that violates your ideal of nice'ness and dignity, and you commit a sin. Do something IN ALL SINCERITY that the world calls a sin, and it is not one. The only sin is
that which harms your own soul or
the soul of another. Now, having got this off my conscience, my heart feels lighter. My better self, "Sit down and write to Jim. Acknowledge your selfishness. Confess your mistake. Tell him that, after all, you long for your real work in life, your woman's work the making of a home, the following out of your clean ambition to write, the mothering of children, perhaps. He will listen. He will be glad." I shall write my letter to Jim and post it tonight. (To be continued.)
protected. Lo, if thou wilt marry me, I will cherish thee as a Jewel in a casket of velvet!"
And, almost the damsel was per- j suaded, but in the end she said, "Ob, wait!" For she was exceedingly young, and her heart had never yet been thrilled. And the fourth youth dallied awhile until he had learned the ways of women. Then he came unto the damsel and cast himself at her feet and wept, saying: "Alas, alas, what a fool I am to love thee! For my sins have been past counting, and my weaknesses have encompassed me, and there is nothing in life for me save despair and destruction. Yet, per-adventure, had I but an Angel to guide me, I had not come to this bitter past! Oh, would that I were fit to marry thee!" And the damsel perceived that he was In great trouble. And she put her arms about him and gathered him to her heart, crying: "Be of good cheer. For thou shall not perish. I shall be thy strength and they backbone, thy right hand and thy guiding angel. Yea, I shall wed thee, anyhow! For I perceive that thou needest me!" And in her eyes there shone a great light. But the youth hid his face In his hands, that she might not see his
smiling; and in his sleeve there was triumphant laughter. For he possessed understanding o women; and he knew that any woman
would rather be a "martyr" than pres
ident; and that, while she idealized the hero whom she may adore, her heart turneth to the weakling whom she must coddle! Selah.

Music lovers find their cherished ideal in the Brunswick Phonograph. By the Brunswick Method of Reproduction, music is given its truest and finest tone. Tone quality hitherto lost in phonographic music is now restored by The Brunswick because it is a super instrument.
It plays all records. So you are not limited in vour choice of the world's finest music
regardless of what manufacturer makes the records. The Brunswick Method of Reproduction comprises two scientific features the Ultona and the Tone Amplifier. The Ultona plays all records truer, finer and sweeter. It is not a makeshift contrivance, but involves a genuine principle of sound. A slight turn of the hand presents the right needle, diaphragm and weight for playing any record. The Tone Amplifier is "V an oval shaped vibrant tone chamber.
