A Widows Problem.
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a woman of thirty-two and
have peer a widow for several years.
A young man, "a years old, has been
paying me a great deal of attention
lately, and I think he cares for me. l
think a great deal of him, but he
seems very young to me, and 1 could
never marry him. He has eve talked
to me of love, but you know how a
woman can tell those things. He calls
at my home very often and has sent
me a great many books. Please tell
me if it would be a mistake to tell him
not to care for me, as / do not want
to let matters drift until he proposes,
which l am SUR he will do sooner or
later. for he has given up all of his
girl friends for me. WIDOW.
| should think you would be able
to let him know your attitude without
telling him that it is useless to care
for you. You couldn't very well tell
him that anyway. until he spoke to
you. You are very wise in trying to
check his admiration before it be-
comes very serious.

He's Changed.
Dear Margery Doom:


Please give me. your advice. | am
a girl of Is n have been going with
one young man for nearly a veal He
used to show that he loved me in a
great many ways, but now he seems
to have changed, although he always
says this is nonsense when | ask him
If it is true. For one thing, he does not
come to see me so often. and always
a y that this Is because he is too
busy. Don't you think he would find
time to see me If he still loved me2
Please tell me what to do, as | owe
him dearly. What is a good way to
get him to love me as much as he
used to? HEARTBROKEN.
I'm afraid, my dear, that you'll have
to learn to do without this young man,,
for it is evident that he has begun to
tire of you. If he had really owed you
this would not have happened. 1t Is
better for you to make up your mind
at once that he can have no part in
your life, nor you in his. This will
make it easier for you to forget. Try
to become interested in other things,
and after a while the really and truly
right man will come along, and you'll
be ever so glad you did not marry the
other. When a mans love for a girl
begins to die I think that nothing less
than a miracle will revive it.

MERCHANT tells an interesting
N little anecdote of 9. mouse and a
Am mouse-trap. Some years s his
warehouse was overrun with mice, and
he endeavored to exterminate them by
means of a number Of h common
mollse-traps Ono morning his atten-
ton was called by an employee TO d
particular trap, in which a female had
been captured, and on proceeding TO the
spot he found, to his surprise, not only
the old mouse in the trap, but also d
number of young ones which had peel
born in captivity. The little mites lay
in a small circular nest-not unlike a
bird's-which the mother had formed IN
the narrow trap, but the strange thlhS
was the fact hat this same nest was
made of bits of straw, string, paper, ele'
which had been picked up in the ware
house. The mouse could not get out or
the tran to reach these articles, nor
would she be likely to carry them ABOUT
on her person, however ~provident hef
usual habits might be; consequently
they must have been introduced into
the trap after her capture. In order TO
clear up the mystery a watch was set,
and 1t was Their discovered that another
mouse ran to and fro with bits of string,
etc, in its mouth and these were evil
IDENTIFY drawn through the bars of the
little prison by the captive who had
somehow managed to inform its mate
of the necessity of providing the ma
terials which she herself was unable to
procure. This is a sample of greater in
telligence than is usually accredited to
the little che~ese-nibbler.

How to Take Care OF the
Feet i'm the Cold Season
Madame Alta Makes Valuable Suggestions of How to Prevent
Tiredness-0ther Valuable Things That Beautiful
Women Should Know.

The minute the days begin to grow
cold We hear all sorts of walls from
people who have trouble with their
feet. This is all wrong. They should
not be conscious that they have feet,
when those members are in good con-
dition. A great deal depends upon the
shoes, that should lit comfortably. with
cut being too big or too small Shoes
arc expensive items, but the comfort
one secures from Well-made and we'll
shaped footwear is well worth the dol
lars expended.
To keep the feet in prime condition
clean hose should be worn each day
and the shoes changed as frequently as
time, money and circumstances will
permit. The heavy shoes worn for
walking should be taken off as soon
as the house is entered. If 1t is neces-
sary for a man or woman to wear
heavy Shoes the greater part of the
time. then two or even three pairs
should be owned. In this way the feet
are kept from becoming tired.
After the daily bath-and it is an OK
cellent thing to have his warm, as far
as the feet are concerned-it is well to
rub into the skin of the foot a small
quantity of carbolated vaseline. This
should be rubbed in hard, and particu-
lar attention paid to the callous spots
and to the toe joints. When there are
hard, calloused spots, these should be
rubbed away with a bit of pumice
stone. This may be easily done when
they are softened by the warm water.
Nothing is better for enlarged or in
