Louesickness--How Men and Maids
May Diagnose Interesting Malady
Or lab Your Hatpin Into His
Motor Tires-That's a
Sure Test.

idle and carrying on a mild Irritation.
Don't think o are in love until at
least seventeen men have asked you for
a kiss. You are sure to imagine your
self the affinity of the first man who
introduces you to yourself as a rather
pretty girl. But you do not love him
really; o only love to heal the inn
mensely interesting things he says-all
about you.
The night he asked you for a kiss,
and you refused because you didn't
know what else you could do-when he
had gone you went into the drawing
room and played Chopin in the moon
light with the scent of orange blossoms
lowering round, and you stopped now
and again to wonder.
Now you understand the reason
things were, and why the world is-at
least, so it seemed to you-yet in reality
he who had put a temporary full stop
to your life's questions and taught you
the possibilities of a suburban lawn
beneath a star-spangled sky, will teach
you more by m~omentarily breaking
your heart than by loving you. for
nothing teaches us philosophy like a
broken heart.
Love is a tragedy, bound in covers of
rose, and entitled a comedy; we all hold
1t in our hands at least once though
some look no further than the cover,
and others smiling, read h preface,
closing it in time; but those who read
right through never quite forget, and
when they put it down they are gen.
orally philosophers.
Therefore, to decry love and ridicule
the act of loving is to promote happi-
ness to the detriment of wisdom. Yet
Shakespeare says:
II would rather a fool to make me merry
Than experience to make me wise"
So don't fall in love.
If you are in love already, care must
be taken. A good cure is a run in the
motor together. Prick the tire with
your hat-pin (unseen by him). If you
still feel the same when he has emerged
from under the car Ia muddy road
should have been chosen, marry him,
even If you can only afford to live on
penny buns for the rest of your life.
Such love will make up for anything.

Wedding Cake.
=BY doom.

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me what to write on the
cards to be placed in little boxes of we'd
ding cake that are given to guests. ]
feel that cannot afford to have cards
engraved. Shall I put the brides maiden
name, or the names of both, or just ''com-
pliments of Mr.. and Mrs. Jones'? Thank
you. H. w.
The little boxes of wedding cake are
piled on a table in the dining-room, and
each guest is expected to take one.
Just now it is the fad to have the
monograms of the couple entwined in
gold letters on the covers, but, like
most fads, this is rather expensive.
Get little cards, just big enough to fit
inside of the boxes, and simply write
"Mr. and Mrs. John Blank" 1t is not
good form to say Compliments Of"
You may be SUR that your little we'd
ding souvenirs will be in perfect taste.

True Sympathy, a Highly Arts
tic Quality, Is Very
Rare. -

But even grown-up people do not es-
cape the suffering that is caused by
this want of understanding. No one
can have read the reports of a case re-
Gently in the courts without some in
dignation at the thought that servants
in an American household should have
been. as was here revealed, so cruelty
at the mercy of the whims of their
wealthy mistress.
Theoretically, of course, servants and
employees generally can at any mo
ment escape from bad treatment by
leaving the service in which they are
engaged. They are not slaves. If they
have the least grievance the obvious
remedy is in their hands. That is the
theory, but in practise it is somewhat
different. Servants, shop girls, clerks
and many in more responsible positions
often ann afford to give up the work
by which they support themselves, and
perhaps their families. They have to
put up with the tantrums. the Injustice
the abuse and sometimes the actual
cruelty of those who employ them.
1t is a clear obligation. as I see 1t. for
employers to recognize this fact. The
wealthy "a who swears at his butler.
or his footman. or his valet, is a cow
ard. 1t is like striking one who is de-
fenseless. He knows that the man can
not answer him back. What is true OF
profanity is true of all kinds of brutal
treatment. One might suppose from
their manner that many people in truth
thought that servants had no feelings.
The truth is that comparatively few
people are fitted for positions of au-
thority, whether their authority is ex-
ereised over animals, over children or
over their fellow men and With
power develops cruelty.

STRAIGHT LOCKS.
Get ten cents worth of ounce seed
at any drug store, break them a little
and put them into a cup of water to
slowly form a sort of mucilage; strain
when thick and add a teaspoonful of
alcohol to each ounce; moisten the hair
with this and lay in round curls or
waves, tying a bit of chiffon or net
over until dry. Or moisten the hair
and put it up in kid curriers'.

Indifference Fine Card to Play
in Game of Hearts, Eyes
and Hands.
You may wonder at the witchery

You may wonder at the witchery
of her curl-a thing you will
never forget-and if o do give
your cabby a sovereign instead of a
shilling because you are dreaming of
it, do not be depressed; it is a grand
cure and may even cause you to say
nasty things about that curl. =.
But if you feelings remain the same,
IL you still think her a dream, a semi
angel, go and watch her buy a blouse
length at a sale. If his does not have
the desired effect, your case is hopeless
you must be suffering from the Real
Thing.
Ask the girl to go for a walk, pref
erably in a wood in June, and tell her
to wear her pink frock. Hold on to
your common sense with both hands:
don't quote anybody or tell her there
is just something about her that makes
her appear a Marguerite and all the
other girls a mere bunch of daisies.
Continuing, the writer in the London
Opinion says:
Only a humorist car be sentimental
without becoming a fool. Think of the
future; a troublesome cook, a bundle of
frock bills, and a repulsively tidy study
not a single pipe in it's proper place;
that is to say, all in their proper place,
so that you can't find one.
You must try to propose as if you
don't care a small cuss. Once let a girl
see you are in love and she becomes
troublesome.
If she is not a curate's sister or a
suffragette, she will probably say mo"
1T first. Don't grind your teeth and
mutter: Very well-ve-ry well!' and

Whipping Children Is One of the
Worst Forms of Modern Cruelty

horse or ~ill-using a child whose face is
not distorted with passion. But occa-
sionally men not by nature bad are
cruel for no other reason than that
they are incapable of entering into the
feelings of others.
How much horses suffer from need
less whipping everyone who lives in a
big city knows. 1t is largely because
the drivers are thoughtless; they in
fict punishment which is not deserved
and they don't realize how much pain
the lash gives or the terror of the ami
mails.
However. shall we expect animals to
escape cruelty when men land women
by their bad tempers and their want
of consideration infict SO much pain
that is needless on children and on
their fellow men?
1t is natural that degenerate people
should make bad parents, bad neigh
bors and bad employers. But it is as
tonishing that so many people who in

the writer in the Chicago News.
True sympathy is a quality highly
artistic and for that reason rare. The
mind of a child, so sensitive. SO secret
is not easy to understand. In the
sternness of advancing years we forget
the timidity of childhood. If people
did not SO forget they would never
whip young children; they would hest
tate to inflict punishments that terrify
them. And yet we near almost every
day of nurses. and even of mothers.
who treat children not very differently
from the in which the owner of
the riding school treated his horse.
They punish little faults as if they
were the deliberate wrongdoings of a
completely developed experienced be-
ing. Yet | do not suppose that the
suffering of children from actual cruel
ty is so great as from want of sympa-
thy. For a child to be misunderstood
is terrible.

Removing an Ugly Stain.

My Dear Miss DOOM:
Can you tell me how to remove a var
nish stain from a white silk shirtwaist,
caused by leaning against a vanished
chair on a very hot day. Thank you in
advance. IN
Soak the varnish spots in alcohol.
Do it by pressing a bit of flannel wet
with alcohol upon the varnish and
holding 1t there for several minutes.
Repeat until the varnish begins to
crumble, when it can be brushed off.
This will not hurt the silk. If a blur
remains rub with slightly diluted
household ammonia.

A Mean Disposition.

Dear Margery Doom:

steady company with a young man n
year older for some time. Lately he acts
very queer. He will be lovely for about
q week and then all OF a sudden he will
get very angry over nothing. | am miser-
able most of the time, and do not know
what to do. Do you think | could be
happy with a man with a disposition like
that? UNHAPPY.
Why not have a plain talk with him?
Tell him that you think you will not
care for him much longer if he con-
tinues to make you the victim of his
ugly moods. Be very, very sure that
you really love him before you decide
to marry him.

If the d%yspeptic would eat from one

For the burden the rich endure;
There Is nothing sweet in the city &
BUT the patient lives of the poor.

And the child's min choked with

The daughters heart grown wilful.
And the fathers heart that bleeds,

From trophies of mart and stage,

only requirements these warm
nights for the arrangement of
ideal sleeping quarters IF there

back yard and a cot will act as
substitutes. If there is neither
porch nor back yard the next

The essential thing is to get,

air in unlimited supply and free

actual danger of mosquitoes and
