The Middle Ground By MARION RUBINCAM

A YOUNG CYNIC Chapter 70 So Jane had gone cheerfully writing back that she was giving them all the details, when in reality she was telling them nothing at all!

"What a way to get married!" Mrs. Talbot grumbled, having read the letter several times, perhaps hoping that more information might come from a second reading. She really felt Jane was not married at all, probably because she was . the sort that must experience a thing, or see a thing, before she could really believe it. Jane once laughed at her for that, and said she was of an "empirical turn of mind," a term of philosophy that meant nothing at all, naturally, to the mother. Mrs. Talbot drew conclusions from her own experience, these conclusions she had. until recently, held as unalterable. From one or two experiences, which either she had gone through, or heard about, came a generality. The generality was a law after that. She had not witnessed Jane's marriage. For weeks before it happened, Jane had protested that she would not marry Donald. "It isn't at all the way a marriage ought to be," she complained to Amy. There were two ways of bringing up girls, according to her standards. One

was to leave them in complete ignorance of all ihe vital facts of life, on the theory that ignorance is innocence, and that the more one knows of Fuch taboo subjects as sex, the more, unconsciously, one's mind is corrupted. The stricter adherents to this standard left their children in complete ignorance, which resulted disastrously in some cases. "Where the normal instincts are fully developed, and the mind is not given information to realize it, there's bound to be a disaster," Jane once said. And where the girl, in blind ignorance of what she was doing, blundered and was found out, Mrs. Talbot, along with every one else, blamed the girl as being "bad" and never once put the blame upon the mother who had left her in ignorance. Mrs. Talbot prided herself on being broad minded about these intimate subjects. She had imparted some small bits of information from time to time, not knowing that she was treating the whole subject of sex as something morbid and fearful. Yet, because she had read occasional stories of a sentimental turn, she pictures herself before Jane's marriage as indulging in long and intimate talks with her daughter, preparing her mind for marriage and the changed life that marriage would mean. The summer

before had been a great disillusion

for Jane's medical and psychologies

admitted. After thinking it over for a day or so, Mrs. Talbot decided Jane was right! And a day or two after that she searched her book shelves for some of Jane's books, and spent several after-

HOME FANCY WORK There was never a time when a woman could make so many pretty things for herself with little expense or trouble. Old-fashioned fancy work was frequently very complicated and took a great deal of time and skill, but nowadays most effective dress accessories can be turned out with little trouble. You would probably find that a snug little sports cap and scarf would be just the thing to wear this winter or next spring, to make an old suit look new and attractive. You should make t"'s of some color that just matches your eyes, or is a shade darker if you have light eyes and a shade lighter if you have dark eyes. If you knit the cap and scarf don't use harsh wool, for this is trying. Use a light fluffy wool and work angora wool with it, to get a soft surface. If you are not skilled at knitting, you can make a cap and scarf that is every bit as effective, by buying a fuzzy, woolly cloth in a plain color or plaid and making the cap and scarf from that. A loose buttonhole stitch in wool around the edge, and an embroidered wool rose in some corner, is all the finish needed. . You can make yourself very smart collar and cuff sets for a dark dress or a dark suit by buying a soft kid skin and cutting the collar and cuffs from that. These skins come in all sorts of bright shades and are the very newest thing in dress trimming. A girdle of thin leather strips, plaited, with occasionally large gaudy beads, will bring up an old cloth dress. It you can embroider, coarse artificial silk will make effective patterns on

j dresses, waists or sweaters. j Miss J. K. If you do not see any i improvement in your complexion after

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson:' I am engaged to be married and my fiance's mother objects to the marriage .although we have never met. My fiance says he will not give me up. Do yo'i think I Should write to the mother? ROSE MARY. I would not advise you to write. After you are married you will probably meet the mother and at that time you can do your part to win her lovo. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young man in the latter part of my teens. When I meet a stranger and am introduced I am at once overcome with bashfulness. I can't help it, but 1 think they are my superiors (possibly they are) and I can't find words to fill my mouth. Please give me some advice on this subject, and a cure, :f possible. O. B. S. Your bashfulness results principally from lack of experience in minglin:; with people. After you have been out more you will forget about yourself and have a natural interest in the people and things around you. I am suro that your mind can conquer in this matter. When you are introduced and find yourself overcome with bashfulness force your mind to think. If you try you will find it possible to enter into conversation. At first your ef

fort will require great will power, but in a short time you will not find the effort so great.

Be Careful What You Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos ' contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and . makes the hair brittle. j The best thing to us gs Mulsified co- J coanut oil shampoo, toV this Is pure : and entirely greaseless. It's very : i beap ami beats anything else all to ' pieces. You can get this at any drug ' store ar.d a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water; and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all i that is required. It makes an abun-, dance of rich creamy lather, cleanses 1 thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The ; hair dries quickly and evenly and is! soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy. wa, j ana easy to handle. Besides it loosens , and takes out every particle of dust, i tiirt and dandruff.
