HAD TO GIVE IT UP.

Washington Star; There is a fat
man in this town who AYERS that there
isn't a tailon in Washington w]hoknows
enough or who is agreeable enough to
manufacture trousers long enough at
the bottoms or high enough at the
waist line for a mar weighing more
than los pounds.
This fat man, as may be inferred
from What is to follow, likes IN long
at both ends. And. as he pays for his
trousers, it would really seem as if he
We're entitled to entertain certain ideas
Of his own as To how he wants EN-.
\ couple of weeks ago he walked in
to a merchant tailor's place to order a
blue serge suit. He didn't say a word
While the tailor was measuring him fol.
the o a and vest. In fact, he merely
indicated to the tailor, while THAI part
of The measuring was in progress. that
he didn't much care how the coat and
vest were cut, SO that they didn't look
hand-me-QoWn when they were finish
ed.
Blu when the tailor began to meas
ure the fat man for the trousers, the
fat man motionel him away. and stood
off II made a little speech:
"Now, lCok here, YOU tailor man. he
said to the man with the tape meas
ure. II want you to regard me. | want
You to pay close attention to what l am
going to say To YOU for the next two or
three moments.
Mister tailor man. I want these
trousers long. Long at the top and
long at the bottom. / demand that they
be made long. | insist upon it with all
of the latent force, of my individuality
that this pair of u5users 70. which YOU
are about to measure me Shall be made

Il am bitter upon this topic. SO that
you need take no offense at my words.
| am now d MAJ Of forty-siX years of
age, and | solemnIy declare unto YOU
that never yet, in the whole course of
my life, have l ever been able to induce
a tailor to make my trousers long
enough to suit me. They have promis-
ed to do it. but they never did it. MANY
of them tiled to talk ms out of having
'em made long. and. not succeeding in
that. they made 'em as they wanted 10
anyway ana got no satisfaction.

Every mother possesses information
which is of vital interest to her young
dauG liter.
Too often this is never impaired or is
withheld until serious harm has result
ed to the growing girl through her
ignorance of natures mysterious and
wonderful laws and penalties.
Girls over-sensitiveness and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and battle
physicians, as they SO often withhold
their confidence from their mothers
and conceal the symptoms which ought
TO be told to their physician at this
critical period.
When a girls thoughts become slug
gish, with headache. dizziness or dis
position to sleep, pains in back or lower
limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude:
when she is n mystery to herself and
friends, her mother should come to her
aid. and remember that Lydia E. Pink

coming change. and start the menstrual
period in young girls life without

Hundreds of letters from young girls
