When the girls in a family pass the
marrying age, with no break in the
family circle, their mother accounts for
it by saying that her girls love their
home too much to leave it.
A certain Atchison girl reminds US of
Lieutenant HObsOn; she is fairly good
looking. but she thinks she is SO much
better looking than she really is, and
shows her conceit so plainly, that
everybody hates her.
After all the girls of a family marry,
the fire is never lighted in the parlOr,
and it becomes a sort of a store room
It is never safe, for this reason, to give
surprise parties at houses where there
is no young girl in the family. II there
Is young girl, the parlor is always in
order for the prince who may ride up
on his charger A number of AtchiSOn
people made the mistake recently of
giving surprise party at home
where all the daughters had married,
and had to wait outside fifteen minutes
while an empty tin tub, wraps of all
kinds, and broken down chairs, etc,
were hustled from the room The fire
was not laid for lighting, either, as is
the case where a prince is momentarily
expected and it was found that the
chimney didn't draw, the stove smoked,
and the parlor lamp was without Oil.
1t will be a great shock to the girls
who have fed to Ruth Ashmore" for
advice to learn, now that she is dead.
that ruth AshmOre," who advised
everyone to be good in order to attain
happiness and heaven, is identical with
''Bab,' who wrote fashion letters, and
rldiculed everything in her letters that
Ruth AshmOre" held sacred in her
Side Talks With Girls" Ruth Ash
more" refused her picture to her thou
sands of admirers, saying that she
never had any taken; 'Bab's' pictures
have been appearing in papers and
ma gazines for years. The girls had bet
ter go back to their mothers for advice;
q mother hasn't two sides to her
character. In Side Talks With Girls
the readers were advised on every point
from eating soup to making up a quar-
rel with a lover, and through it all was
sprinkled just enough piOus advice to
make the readers picture Ruth Ash
more" as a sweet faced, placid woman
in a Quaker's gown, who had been
sanctified to the Lord by troubles of
her own. That ruth Ashmore'' and
the cynical Bah" are a Jekyu and
Hyde nix-up, is a great shock.
