When man begins to talk about the dear, dead women, or the live ones, for that matter, who have loved hin-you know instinctively where to index him before he comes to the explanation of WHY he happened to mention these things to you.
 You've got him in the "CAD' class marked Exhibit A." and if he worked million years, and talked himself black in the face, and lived a most worthy in- dividual, and credtable citizen in every other way you'd never have two grains of respect for him.
 In your own dear mind he will always stay with the "CADS."

Or
 Something equally as casual.
 He's one of the men who USED to be in love with me"
 Cant you just HEAR her saying 1t right this minute.
 You might be shocked and angry at having confidence thrust upon you, if the type of girl who says a thing like that didn't always rob the subject of it's reserves, and it's potential value. and make of the matter a hideous bore
 Haven't you found yourself the fifth wheel" at a waning honeymoon dinner, and had the bride (who was nice enough in her way) interlard the conversation with references to this man and that man, throwing supplementary explana- tons across the table, to her bridegroom husband, like this:
 He was one of my beaux you didn't know. darling"
 The scene may shift to a more general gathering. but the same he-said-she- was-a-belle," sort of person can always work in some man she left out in the far vest or who went to sunny Africa, because he was so deeply in love With HER.
 One of the surest ways to kill incip- tent popularity is to adopt these tactics.
 A man WnO IS d free agent, udS Il Hoi . TOT of finding himself sucked into the class of her HOPELESS lovers and the women-well--there are quicker ways for one woman to ingratiate herself into the affections of another, than by con stant illusions to the man who USED to be in love with me?'
 Your hero may be perfect dream of a Chocolate Soldier-so long as you THINK you are the one and only love of
 A4A trir nr11A A along, and idly remark. she knew him when he thought SHE was the only girl in the world. but that she never could sympathize with his attachment for her -and presto-gone, is the fine flavor Of your little romance and all the pretty illusions you had about being his 'one and only love-"
 You wouldn't have minded in the least, if HE had told you that he used to pay hopeless court to HER-but TOT u to come from HER.
 You don't like it, and your affection fo rhim is permanently undermined
 It isn't a thing you can possibly ex- plain.
 You aren't jealous of that vague and remote PAST before he knew you.
 Certainly NOT.
 But
 You are disappointed that among the B1flS OI lne ptfiou, uc Souiu heN'S S'S'. THOUGHT that he loved the type Of girl, who would later boast of him as being among the men who USED to be in love with her"
 A certain girl of my acquaintance went around making many unhappy wives, oy feminiscing of when their several hus- bands USED to be in love with HER.
 One day, she met her waterloo, however by receiving sharp rebuke, that taught her lesson.
 She was dwelling on this one, and that one who had adored her. when one of the wives chaffed her by saying:
 why don't you brag of your PRES F.NT-DAY conquests? Why rake up the skeletons of by-gone generation?@
 The PRESENT DAY conquests weren't on the spot, to speak for themselves.
 They seldom are.
 A woman who gets her pleasure in spelling her own popularity. is usually left to do her own Press Agent work.
 The price she pays for her self-adver- Using, is pretty high-the popularity she MIGHT have retained df she ever had D if she only had the inspired wisdom, to keep her mouth shut.

 Bayberry Candles
 'rwir you be good enough to send me a receipe for making bayberry candles, with rather explicit directions? MRS. H." The only recipe at my command directs that the bayberries be broken slightly. then laid in cold water which is brought to the boil and kept at the boiling point for fifteen minutes. The kettle is taken from the fire and the contents turned into a broad pan. This is left all night. In the morning the wax will have col lected in solid cake upon the surface of the liquid. It Is taken off carefully and clarified for use. I have no further details to offer. Will the readers who know more of the process by which clear wax is made and then converted into candles write us, supplying particulars?

Maybe they HAVE loved her.
 It isn't that, to which you object!
 Oh, dear, no.
 You're big enough, you hope to be glad when a girl is popular and admired, but it DOES go against the grain of your nature when such an one cheapens the fineness with which you might have in- vested her by ROASTING of anything so sacred as REAL LOVE.
 The tone of voice she uses, it may be in- cidentally remarked, is just about the same as she employs in making the ex- planaton:

about . corner Of tho building. He

and that they staggered - they

a desperate kind Of courage. AZ the
gloom hid tho two men. he started
forward again. He reached the end
Of the corndeld. climbed . fence. and
entered a deadening Of timber. In
the men had dragged their burden.
He reached down and swept his hand
to and fro-once-twice-th third
time his little palm came away red
and discolored.
There was tho nrst pale premoni-
ton Of dawn in tho sky, and ~ he
hurried on the light grew. and the
black trunks Of trees detached them
selves from the white mist that filled
the woods and which the dawn made
visible. There was light enough for
him to see that he was following the
trail left by the men. He emerged
upon the bank Of the Elk river, white
like the woods with its ghostly night
sweat.
The dull beat Of the child's heart
quickened a. he gazsd out on the
swift current that was hurrying on
with its dreadful secret Then the
full comprehension OF his loss seemed
to overwhelm him and he was utterly
desolate. Sobs shook him, and he
dropped on his knees. holding fast to
the stock OF his rife.
Uncle Bob-uncle Bob, come
back! Can't you come back!" he
walled miserably. Presently he stag
gered to his feet. As he glanced
about, he saw almost at his feet a
dug-out. made from single poplar
log. 1t was secured to an overhang-
ing branch by a length Of wild
grapevine. With one last fearful look
of across the deadening in the direc-
tion Of the tavern. he crept down to
the waters edge and entered the
canoe. In a moment. he had 1t free
from Its lashing and the rude craft
was humping along the bank in spite
Of his best efforts with the paddle.
Then favoring current caught It and
swept It out toward the center OF the
stream.
