The Girl Who Had No Chance By MARION RUBINCAM

Chapter 74 MOTHER AND DAUGHTER So, with a great, deal of work the Spring days came and . went- Langley had talked a jrreat deal about Ruth going to. New York or going any place where she could get rest and have a change, ' . ' And Ruth always agreed and always promised, but the was so , busy she never found time to go. And the whole summer went by. Ruth went out very little that summer. The people on the big estates near Marketown, who had overtures of friendship were away most of 'the time, at mountains or at the shore. The Marketown paper, grown larger now the town was growing, recorded their "doings" as though they were quite important. Langley, at a meeting of the civic committee which by now practicaVy controlled the town suggested certain thing sthat should be attended tain things that 6houId be attended York. There was a discussion about getting a New York agent, until finally Langley suggested sending Ruth. "Whf knows as much about this town as any of us, and could carry out our commissions perfectly well,"

"I'm not," Ruth answered. Her mother looked shocked. "Not wear black : when your own father died!" "Father hated black and hated to see me in it. ' He often asked me not to wear mourning. Do you think it would make him feel better, or me, for us all to go about in black?" "But what will, people say?" "Do you think J care what they say!" Ruth was roused to sudden resentment. "The ones I care about will know how much sorrow I feel without my advertising it by wearing a color father hated." "Still ' Mrs. O'Niel could not get over the conventional ideas. She went to the shops and bought the proper "mourning" buying frugally so as not to spend an unnecessary cent, yet with a little satisfaction that her clothes were correct for the occasion, and that they were quite new as welL Ruth, having no money she felt she could spare, wore her old things. That was only the beginning of a real rift in the feeling between Ruth and her mother. Mrs. O'Niel had

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl fifteen years of age, but do "not go with boys. I have a boy friend who is the same age to whom I wish very much to send a birthday greeting. I want your advice as to whether or not he will appreciate it. UNCERTAIN W. B. W. If you and the boy are good friends it would be all right to send the card, but if he is merely an acquaintance you should not do so. Ask your mother's advice. If you are good enough friends the boy will appreciate the card, bat unless you are good friends he will think you are running after him. ' Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are soon to be married. My fiance is 23 and so am I. He is of one religion and I am of another. We have talked over our plans as how we are to treat the question of religion in the years to. come and we would like a few pointers from you. We want to know what to do and what not to do to keep peace in

the family. So many people have

a marriage cannot be happy, but we still thing it can be. What is your opinion?. Yes, your marriage can be successful if your love for each other is great enough ,if you have will power enough not to argue and if each is willing to make sacrifices to the other. First of all the question arises regarding the person to perform the marriage ceremony. The wedding day is the bride's day and therefore the girl should have her choice. Most important of all, however, is the question of children I would advise you to decide now in which faith they are to be reared. People of an

tagonistic religions usually get along all right until a child comes and the question of religious education arises. You should also take over the matter of going to church. You may decide that each is to have the privilege of going to his own church. If such! Is the case neither should urge the other to. give up the privilege after! marriage. j

Frequent stirring of the surface soil keeping it finely pulverized and level, especially during dry weather, will increase the growth of the crops as well as kill the weeds. The surface should always be stirred after a rain as Foon as the soil is dry enough to work. This not only controls the weeds but keeps the soil moist; also air is admitted to the roots.

Merry Chudren Happy Home TO maintain a happy home the housewife must keep in good health. Her duties are many and various, and it seems as if every other member of the family depended very much on her. ' Where is my hat ? " cries the boy. " What did you do with my coat ? " asks the daughter. I can't find any handkerchiefs," yells the husband. The housewife is usually the advisor and general manager of the family. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helps women to maintain a happy home by Keeping them in good health.

Bloomington, 111. "I have taken six bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it has done me a wonderful sight of good. I was never very strong and female trouble kept me weak so that I had no interest for my housework. I had such a backache I could not cook a meal or clean up a room without racing with pain. I would rub my back with alcohol and it would ease for a few hours, but after I had taken three bottles of Vegetable Compound my aches began to gradually leave me. Is ow I am as strong and healthy as any woman and I give my thanks to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for my health." Mrs. J. A. McQuittv, 610 W. Walnut St., Bloomington, IU.

Dante, So. Dakota." I would have pains and cramps every month until I could hardly stand it and could not do my work at all at that time and often had to go to bed. I went to a physician, but he did not do me much good and said I would have to have an operation. I read about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the newspaper and thought I would give it a trial. Is'ow I feel lots better and don't have to give up and go to bed, and can do all my work. You may use these facts as a testimonial, and I will answer with pleasure all letters I receive, and you may be sure I will praise your wonderful medicine." Mrs. Arthtjk J.
