feed mis- vanity by picturing a desola-

learn for her own good that there are
better men in the world; men more
worthy of such outpeuring Of affection

occupation of the idle man, the
amusement of a busy one, and
the shipwreck of a sovereign" And he
might have added that It was the play

support his widowed mother, but en-
tertained such a strong friendly feel
ing for the girl that he couldn't keep
away.
His visits became so frequent that
other young men. thinking he had a
prior right, stopped going to see her,
and it became understood among their
friends that they were engaged.
He had played with love all this time,
and when the girls affections became
seriously involved, he decided that he
must make his visits less frequent. He
told her why; that he didn't love her,
and couldn't marry her To this rather
cold FLOODED decision after so many
months of pleasant intercourse, she re-
piled that it would break her heart If
he ceased coming, and he continued his
calls -four nights a week out of sym
pathy and duty"
After calling four times a week, "out
of sympathy and duty" for several
months, he decided to end it, and didn't
go again.
Then she wrote to him that If he
didn't come back, she would do herself
bodily harm.

There are many endings to an affair

nance out of things, but for
tunately, so long as people have imag-

everyday events of life with colorful
possibilities and interest, and can live

Thus spoke Her Royal Highness
Princess Irene Fenwick, stealing few
minutes from Hawthorne Of the U. S.
A" to tell why it is easy to be a really
Zendaesque princess, holding an imag-
mary court at the old sundial every
night, and a perfectly up-to-dat and
equally pretty young girl living in New
York by daytime.
1t is just a question of imagination
and Princess Irene has quantities of it.
When l saw her she was trying to close
her practical outer ears to the steady
sound Of steel riveting, which came
from a nearby building, and she ex-
planned that she could hear anything
she wanted to, with the fine inner ears
of the imagination.
Miss Fenwick is quite as charming as
herself as she is in the part of the ro-
mantle princess. and she is equally ro-

world of vivid imagination. and she

frankly admits that it is peopled with
non existent shadows that to her are
as real as you and l.
Having an imagination" said Miss
Fenwick, seems to me one of the
greatest gifts in life. l think possibly
an imagination could be cultivated,
though OF course there are certain peo-
pie who disapprove of imagination ut
terly, and who only see life as a series
of hard, cold facts. They are the Grad
grinds of life, and, oh. how much they
miss!
fortunately, no matter how prOSaic
our modern life may become, there is
always a beautiful realm of dreams and
romance where each one of us has a
kingdom all her own
do l think the modern young girl
romantic? Indeed do, and fortunately
for her, too. In Hawthorne, when Mr..
Fairbanks and l come to the charming
| love passages of the play, we often
hear the gurgling little obs and abs
and the gasps of the girls in the audi
ence and it's sweet and encouraging to
realize that all those young people are
living the story through while we are
acting it. Every girl is a princess with
a Hawthorne for a lover. Just as every
girl imagines herself in the role Of the
| heroine of each book that she reads,
providing, of course, the heroine Is to
her taste.
THE romantic Imagination is a great
deal more than being able to see your
self playing a particularly attractive
role in life. The person with real Inn
agination can invest every incident Of
life, no matter how trivial or how hum
drum, with the glamour of their own
fanciful thoughts. And probably the
women who go through the daily rou-
tine of prosaic, uninteresting work
| cheerfully and with a gallant spirit
have really the great romantic magma
lions.
These are the women who preserve
their charm despite misfortune and
drudgery, whose minds have wonder
full flavor and fascination no matter
how ordinary their lives may seem to
the outward eye. These women have
real charms. Everything they do is
colored with their personality and your
personality is the sum total Of your
thoughts and actions, isn't it? And. Of
course. there are more thoughts than
actions"
The woman with imagination is sell
dom If ever very lonesome Generally
she finds some outlet for her mental
activity. or if not she reures into that
dream world Of her own creation"
How much power does a romantic
imagination possess IN counteracting
the Earring effects Of everyday life?" |
inquired of the fanciful Princess.
"A good deal more than people would
suppose" she returned quickly. Most
Of the people who have succeeded after
a life of hard and bitter struggle have
had Imagination. They may have only
been able to imagine along one line, but
they have built up an ideal often
purely visionary one, and then they've

The romantic imagination helps tide
over the hard places of life by showing
the infinite possibility which the future

happenings upon which the matter of

YES, YOU CAN.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

dearly in love with a young man OF
twenty one | have known him one
year, and we kept company eight
months. | had a quarrel with him

told a friend to ask him if he wish

answer. I can not live without
him L. B.
You can live without him. In very
short time that heartache will cease
AMI you will be happy again. In the
while going through this pc.
riod of depression, so frequent in youtt
and love, carry yourself with dignity
and don't exaggerate either the value
Of his love or the loss you sustain
in losing it. Please don't send any
more messages to him. You have made
advances enough.

Household Sug-
gestIons

Bamboo furniture should be scrubbed
with water and salt. Don't make wet
ter than is absolutely necessary, and
dry in the open air as soon as possible.
Before you use a new gas mantel,
soak 1t in vinegar and hang it up to
dry In this way a brilliant light is
obtained, and the burners will last twice
as long as usual, even in a drafty room.
When tired OF sweet jellies and jams,
try lemon honey for sandwiches and
tarts. Beat well together one cupfuI of
sugar, one egg, and butter size Of a
walnut Add juice and grated rind of
one lemon. Stir well, put into double
boiler, cook slowly till thick, avoid stir
ring after it begins to cook Add tiny
pinch of salt.
Often when children suffer from
headache it is an indication that their
sight is weak. If they are constantly
frowning, you may be fairly sure that
such is the case. In such cases an
oculist should be at once consulted II
defective sight is attended to in time,
It can often be cured in a few years,
while If 1t is neglected it may mean
that glasses have to be worn for a life
time.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-12-09

imagination has been stunted or whose
romantic fancies have been so laughed
to scorn by older people that the door IF
that fanciful world is closed to her for
ever. She has lost a refuge from lone
illness: home of inspiration, and some
of that intangible thing called personal
charm, which is born Of Imagination"

1t is not wrong to ask a girl to wait
