That's So" agreed the woman in
the shade too bright heliotrope suit
They Just do as they pleased"
Not that Lizzie is not a good
daughter" went on the middle aged
woman. TITS just that you can't tell
about men. They can be the blindest,
most eXasperating, contrary crea-
lures! As I was saying to my hus-
band when he took Alfred Guam for
a partner, who on earth would have
dreamed that such a boyish, pleasant
fellow could have such a will of his
own and be 80 absolutely deaf to the
call Of what are really his own inter
ests?
He has money, you know. and as
his folks did not live here l made up
my mind that 1t was my duty to be
kind Of motherly to him." explained
the middle-aged woman. Il think
there is nothing so pathetic as a
nice young man away from home and
a prey to every designing creature
who sets her eyes on him, especially
when he is a good looking young
man like Alfred"
q thought" said the other woman,
that he and Lizzie"
Il don't believe in trying to make
matches" said the middle-a aged wom-
an, firmly. 81 wouldn't dream of in
terfering with fate! Lizzie may be
one with taste would realize how
good looking she is-in a quiet way,

Anyhow, Alfred Guam might have
considered himself in luck to get a

toned that Lizzie was perfectly crazy
over autos and that the fresh air was
so good for health. He took her out
several times when I invited him to
come early for dinner so they could
get ride afterward but it wasn't
a month before that George Mac
Prang was driving the runabout with
her own hands and smiling conde-
scendingly when she passed our
house,
You don't know what suffered at
the hands of that George MacPrang,
Mrs. Carver. I'd ask Alfred out for
nice little family game of cards
and he'd have an engagement and the
next day George would drop in and
tell what a fine time she and Alfred
had at the theater the night before
HE was perfectly nice to Lizzie
and if she dropped into the coal
office near closing time, as it was
perfectly natural for her to do, since
it was her fathers office, Alfred
would usually bring her home.
Don't push yourself, I told Lizzie.
Only don't be backward about show
ing him that he's popular with you
That fatters a man--having him
think you like him and are too mod
est to show It'll
Just as I had arranged to have
Alfred take his summer vacation at
the same time we did and be our
guest at the cottage we were going
to rent, in comes that George Mac
Prang with a solitaire as big as
paving stone, all smiles and applied
bushes and throws herself on Lzzie's
neck and says she must tell her first
because 1t was through her that she
and Alfred found each other
isn't that enough to make a wom-
an give up in despair, Mrs. Carver?
Not that I'd have dreamed of trying
to force Alfred or Lizzie in each
others direCtion-not me-but being
junior partner and, of course. what's
her fathers will be Lizzies some
day, and then Alfred would have had
it all-and his nice automobile and he
is so good looking-and to think that
that silly Georges MacPrang-"
Maybe something will happen"
said her friend, comfortably. Lizzie
may yet be glad she didn't get
him"

aged woman emphatically. why,

Advice to the Lovelorn
YOU DON'T LOVE HER.
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

wv WIN Wv - fh-fhs
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am 25 and dearly in love with
a girl one year my junior who
says she loves me. While at
party late one evening she fell
asleep and started to walk in her
sleep. I have heard since that she
walks in her sleep quite often. Do
YOU think we could live happily
together, or should l give this girl
up? WORRIED.
If you loved her, such trivial fail
ing would appeal to your sense OF
protection. Not for a moment would
you consider giving her up.
Are you quite sure, young man, that
you have no failings more undesirable
than sleep walking? If this is the
only fault she has she deserves a par
tiCularly worthy man.

Household Suggestions

A bright, glossy head Of hair, cas-
fly kept in curl, may be obtained by
dissolving in a pint of boiling water a
small square of camphor and a table,
spoonful of powdered borax. Into
this liquid the brush must be dipped
several times whenever the hair is
brushed.
soft piece of linen dipped in milk
and bound round a rheumatic joint
will often cure a most obstinate case
Of rheumatism The linen should be
covered with a piece of oiled silk and
dipped again in the milk when dry.
The marks Of matches struck on
walls may be cleaned by applying
the cut side of a lemon. Then rub
the place with whiting, and lastly
scrub with soapy water.
