ON THE
ROAD TO TOMORROW
BY MARGERY doom.
A Pathetic Little Recital.

A Pathetic Little Recital.
Dear Miss Doom:
I am going to ask you about my girl
to work, only 10 years old, but I looked
older, because I was tall. I did not
get much schooling. There I met my
girl friend. She is the only girl friend
I ever had. and If I speak to other girls
she gets mad at me. We go out and
have good times together. Now, I am
IS years old and she Is %. I love her
ever SO much. but she makes me feel
so badly sometimes.
About four months we met two
young men, and the young man I was
with asked me to write to him.. AS I
could not spell very well 1 asked her to
write for me. She did. but when she
saw the young man she told him I
could not write, and I was ashamed to
see him, but he wrote to me often.
When I come in the store to work
the girls all ask me If my friend still
goes with that married man. | told her
about 1t. and she told me to tell the
girls that his wife is not a good one,
and that she knows he Is married. I
told her it was not right for her to do,
and she answered that l was not dead
yet, and that goodness knew Via
would happen to me. She said I should
learn how to read and write before l
began to tell her what to do.
l hope you will not think badly of
be becauce I cannot read and write.
Tell me If everybody thinks badly of a
girl who cannot spell well. l try to
read THE EVENING STAR the best l
can. Dc you think I should stay home
and not try to make friends? Will no
one like me? I like that girl so much,
and l have no mother. Thanking you
for your help. POOR GIRL.
My dear little girl, do o know that
you spell and write better than a great
many girls. and boys, too, of your age?
You have altogether the wrong idea
about yourself. You should be proud
to think that, when only a child of 10,
you a spirit enough to get up and
fight the world all by yourself. Just
think! You are only Is, and yet you
can look back on eight years of sue
cessful endeavor.
The next time you think about your
inability to read, and spell, and write,
just make up your mind that the mat
ter can be easily remedied. There are
plenty of excellent public night schools
in the city, with teachers who would
be only too glad of a chance to help
you. Do not let the fact that you are
eighteen stand in the way There are
men and women In those schools who
are old enough to be your father and
mother, and plenty of them. 1t will
not be long before you will be justly
proud of what you have learned.
Let me advise you to give up this
girl friend of whom you think so much.
She cannot think very much of you,
or she would not twit you about your
inability to write correctly. Probably
she can do little better herself. And
IL she loved you at all, she would
never, never have told that young mar
that you asked her to write your letter
for you. That was a pretty mean trick
indeed.
Try to find a girl friend who will be
| loyal to you. There are plenty of them
No friend at all is better than a false
friend.
Let me wish you all success. I an
sure you are deserving of 1t.

Whenever I see a woman carrying
herself awkwardly I want to weep. It
Is so unnecessary.
Women, many of them. wall and
grieve because their figures are not up
to scratch. They complain that their
waist is growing too large; hiking up In
the front and down in the back: that
their chests are sinking in: that their
shoulder bones are edging toward the
front, and that their hips are spreading
frontwards, too.
It never enters their heads that they
could scare away these bugaboos for
ever. II they could only make them
selves stand up straight and breathe
properly.
Are you letting yourself sag a bit at
the shoulders?
Don't, If you want to keep either
young or well.
There Is nothing SO fatally easy as
to grow round-shouldered. 80 keep a
sharp watch on yourself to prevent it.
Each morning stand up against the
lam of a door and see II you hav begun
to sag.
Also, walk around you room each
day with a piece of broomstick or short
umbrella under your arm and brought
across the back. This keeps h chest
up and head we'll poised.
Deep-breathing exercises, whenever
YOU think of them, will help ward of
these round shoulders. also making a
practise tt walk with the chest up.

How fortunate It Is that the plain
bolero jacket has really and truly made
its appearance. This time 1t Is collar
less and untrimmed or 1t will show wide
silk trimming, further ornamented with
fiat buttons. The newest feature Is the
long sleeve with the lower half but
toned to the elbow, or, perhaps, the
three-quarter length will be used with
a plain cuff. On one hobby little cloth
eton the collar was high at the back,
with a rundown collar portion 1t did
not encircle the neck, but ended an
inch in front of the shoulder seam,
which did not interfere with h lace
waist collar
H~and-tucked net waists are heralded
by Paris. If intended for dressy occa-
sions, it is a very clever idea to do the
tucking in fine gold or silver thread,
which gives an added touch of color
to the tout ensemble. If the blouses
are intended to be worn with a colored
skirt, instead of using gold or silver
thread, one might use heavy silk floss
in the same shade as the skirt.
A new tie to take the place of tho
black satin band which often encircles
the throat just below the collar line Is
made by plating together three pieces
of .half-inch ribbon and allowing them
to fall into a sort of fringe depending
from the knot in front Nothing could
be easier, for anybody can plat ribbon,
and the three pieces may be in three
shades or in one solid color, as pre-
ferred. The idea may be varied by
plating eight pieces of baby ribbon or
four pieces of one-quarter inch ribbon.
A tie which is finished with a fringe
and which forms a band around the
bottom of the collar Is, for the mo-
ment, in style.

THOR a time after Mallory had left

until his absence. which was to have
lasted half an hour. just the time to
bring Mrs. O'Brien back, had, extended
considerably over an hour The old
man could not contain himself no
longer, and started after Mallory and
his wife.
Meanwhile Crawford had been re-
viewing the exciting events that had
succeeded each other so quickly hat
night and almost had eliminated in a
~disgraceful fight. First there was
Nora, with her role of innocence so
cleverly played, who had been getting
money and presents out of him and
fooling him. He was entirely cured Of
any i~nfatuation he had felt for her.
Then there was Patsy, who for the
second time had dressed him down, sat
upon him and rubbed it in by Putting
him through the dis~agreeable process
of being shown up to himself. Finally
there was the low stableman with
whom he had associated, who had bull
lied him and threatened him with per-
sonal violence. With Mallory, at least
he would get even, and at once, by
immediate dissolution of partnership
and pressure for settlement of their
affairs. This, he knew. would put NAL
lory to sore straits, owing to his lack
of ready money n the onerous on
ditions Of their contract. Mallory, in

n-v0 HERE was an oyster once. and he
lived In a bed-an oyster bed.
And 1t was a funny bed, without
any sheets or blankets or pillow cases
or even a mattress. So I dom see why
they called it a bed, but they do. His
shape was all ups and downs, and his
disposition was mild. and he wore a
pearl in the left-hand corner of his up
per shell on the inside. The oyster grew
on a little stone, and it grew on hard
and tight and fast. so it never could
move around and see the world. This
was a wild oyster, so it grew just as 1t
pleased. If it had been a tame oyster 1t
would have had to grow on little twigs
put in the water OF purpose, and after
wards 1t would have been moved to
other places to fatten, n 1t would
have seen something of the world. But
it was a mild wild oyster, and 1t lived
by itself on a little stone and never
went anywhere or said anything, and
flats what people mean when they say
other people are as mum as an oyster.
And at last one day it had a toothache.
Now. when you live inside of your
mouth. a toothache is something awful.
And the poor mild oyster couldn't go
to the dentist because it was growing
hard and fast on that little round stone,
so It asked a little fish to go for DR..
Lobster as fast as it could swim. And
It was In a dreadful state of mind until

his pincers. He threw it away on the

was happy.

Crawford on his part was beside
himself with evaporation. He had
had more than enough of the compli-
Gated mess his intrigue with Nora had
stirred up. He vas not lacking in
physical courage and had no fear of
Mallory, but he was afraid of the no

Crawford could not but respect her
grit and devotion. He turned from the
door and Patsy advanced toward NAL
lory.

manded coldly. What do you want
me to do? What more do you want

Don't stand lookin' at me like that

Slowly Mallory and Mrs. o'Brien
went out.
Patsy and Crawford stood gazing
after them until the sound of the shut
ting of the front door by Rogers ap-
prised them thai they had really gone.
Then Patsy's tortured ear could bear
no more and she burst into tears. A
long drawn "Oh-o-o!" escaped through

Crawford was moved by the sight to

Nora came forth. and without an

Crawford, who had listened to Patsy's
scathing rebuke s~hamefacedly, bent
forward, with his arms on his knees,
did not even look up as they passed
him on their way to the street.

Food Value of Lettuce.

Food Value OF Lettuce
Dear Madame Alta:
Please tell me Just how lettuce acts on
the system, as l was told by a friend
that 1t was good for the nerves. and l
want to know If this is true, as I am
constantly troubled by jumpy nerves.
At times the slightest noise Is b
able, I am so fidgety. Thanking you in
advance, I am, A READER.
Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves, and is excellent for sufferers
from insomnia. It also acts as a soda
tive upon the human frame, owing to
the opium 1t contains.
I think your condition would be i'm
proved IL you would take long walks
and lengthen your sleeping hours. Prob
ably you are overtired.

brick dust and rosin. The shank of the
knife must be heated and thrust into
