at your vacant chair I would feel
rocky and some sad"
81 am glad you think something OF
me an6 ike to have me around the
shop said the Manicure Lady. But
about the playwright, it was just one
of those things that comes up in lie
and has to be thrown in the discard
and become one of them haunting
memories which is a part OF every
lady's life.
Il was always kind of dreamy,
George, and a fortune teller told me
once that ! had a sentimental temper
Azure and would be very unhappy on
account of it some day, but I don't
think this is one of the days, because
the parting hasn't made me brood
none to speak of. Wilfred feels worse
about it than 1 do, because he had a
poem all wrote to read at our wedding.
1t was all about how grand my BRIDE
groom was and what a splendid thing
it was for a girl to marry genius,
and I guess Wilfred put his whole

and I guess he was organizing for
touch.
We'll. there amt going to no we'd

the other day, I have made up my mind
never TO marry a genius. There amt
no question that this playwright IS
real genius and a self-made man, and
he is awful cultured, though his Eng

said if I were instead of If I was
the other night and I had a notion to
correct him, but as long as have made
up my mind not TO marry him thought
there wasn't no use Of hurting his
feelings about q little thing like
mistake in his English grammar.
THE thing I couldn't stand in him,
and that I can't stand in no man OF
woman, was his cOnceit. He was all
right till he Joined that actors club,
and then he found out how great he

him talk five minutes and know that
he didn't hate himself a single little

win me he would be impossible after

EVERY GIRL SHOULD BE TAUGHT
ART NEEDLE WORK.
HInts for EmbroIderers.

An embroidered piece should be
washed by itself in an earthen bowl to
avoid the possibilities of rust or other
stain Take fairly hot water and make
pure soap. Wash quickly. If the
linen is soiled, rub that portion be-
tween the hands. Einse thoroughly in
clean water and lay the piece flat De
tween two dry towels or thick linen
cloths. Roll up in these so that no
part of the embroidery can touch any
other part of the same linen, and
wiring or twist so that the dry linen
will absorb the moisture. Leave IN
this condition until the material is alb
sOlutely dry. Lay the piece face down
upon a well-padded ironing board,
spread clean, white cloth over the en-
broidery and iron quickly and lightly
with a hot iron. being careful not TO
press too heavily upon the embroidered
portion.
A hot iron placed upon embroideries
in which the silk is wet will produce
steam, which VIII ruin the en-
brOidery.
To remove scorch from linen. put
two ounces of Fuller's earth into
saucepan, add a half ounce of white
soap, the juice of two large onions
and one cupful of vinegar. Boil to-
gether for few minutes, strain into
a jar and keep covered for future use.
Spread on the scorched parts with a
knife and allow it to dry on. Simpler
way would be to run the scorched ar
ticle with dry starch.

ASK HIM TO CALL.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a stenOgrapher of twenty and
in a great predicament. The folk term
me a prude because 1 could never even
like any man friend I ever went out
with; but now the trouble is 1 feel
that I have met a friend toward whom
I feel differently. This man is six
years older than myself, and does not
keep company with any one I have
known him for over a year, and in
that time have asked him to several
outings with the crowd; but the three
times he refused politely. saying he had
another engagement. What 7 do not
understand is that he always seems
glad to see me; Will wait over half
an hour to walk home with me in
the evening after work, and will come
over to the office as many as three
times a day for the slightest Of ex-
cuses G. F
Perhaps he declined your invitations
because there was always a crowd in

try to overcome your regard for him.
You viii have given him every Oppor-
tunity then. and his refusal will in
dictate that he doesn't care to push the

THE BIGGEST APARTMENT HOUSE.
The invention of the steel frame
building a generation ago has revOlu-
tionized city life not only with respect
to business buildings, but, through the
medium of the apartment house, has
changed the essential environment Of
home life. Whether these changes
have been good or bad, or partly both,
is beside the question
It is interesting to note, however,
that the largest apartment house in
the world is now building in Newark,
New Jersey. It Will be known as the
Gibraltar, Will be Is stories high in
front and Is in the rear, and will cost
approximately a million dollars. The
building will accommodate a private
garage. to take care Of more than
100 automobiles. The apartments
will range in size from two rooms and
a kitchenettes to fourteen rooms and
four baths. A novel feature is that
each apartment in the building viii
differ from every other apartment in
the building. both in the plan Of the
rooms and the interior finish.

Advice To the LOveIOrn
BY Beatrice Fnirfax.
NEITHER
- Il 4 4 III
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS Fairfax:
I am eighteen and am in love with
a man of the same age. This man is
making only SO a week with no chance
of advancement, and wishes me to
marry him.
There is also another man who IS
almost twice my age, and is considered
wealthy. This man has also proposed
TO me. Kindly advise me which prOpOs-
al TO accept Bessie.
The great thing in marriage is love,
and you don't love either man. Your
attitude of doubt proves ii.
Moreover. SO a week is not enough
for two, even if you loved, and a
princely fortune is not enough if love
is lackingA Wait for the right man.
You will never regret it.

LET HER ALONE FOR AWHILE.

Dear MISS FaIrTaN.
How can 4 win hack the love OF n
girl I once neglected to meet on an
arranged apD0intm ent? I had been
keeping company with her for six
months. She does not pay any atten-
ton to letters I send her. eXcusing
myself in every way; but she has my
ring in her possession and does not
want to return it, and talks to friends
of mine about me, asking them many
different questions. Heartbroken.
i think she would like to make up,
but wants to punish you first
You have apolOgized. Let the matter
rest there for a few months. Perhaps
when she thinks you may no longer
care, she will become more interested
in you.

Of The FL PasO HeraId.)

I have been keeping company with
a young man for two months. I am
eighteen and ne Is five years my
senior He gives me good times and
seems to care for me a lot, but I tried
very hard TO learn to like him, but 7
can't, and I don't think it would be
proper for me to keep company with
him any longer.
What can I tell him so he'll forget
me? Edna
Your determination not to encourage
the attentions of a man YOU cannot
learn to love does you great credit.
Refuse his invitations, and fail to
be at home when he calls. Such treat
ment, II persisted an, will show him
you do not like Elm.

This article by Mrs. Wilcox expresses
in the person Of the stupid young
woman who wants her husband to be
her master''-the average female who
objects to woman suffrage.
There are among US many savages
both men and women. The savage
woman does not want the vote. She
wants a husband who will knock her
down, drag her around by the hair and
be very kind to her when he is full Of
meat or otherwise kindly disposed
The worthless young person named
Delphine in this article by Ella
Wheeler Wilcox is typical Of the anti
suffraget She belongs to the class
that is dying out, to the class that ex-
listed in England when the law was
made saying that II was unlawful for
husband to beat his wife with a stick
no bigger around than his thumb.
Mrs WilcOX's 'Delphine" will prob
ably find the man that she wants and
be very sorry for herself afterward.-

which showed itself in the rotations

Mrs. Nellie Rollins, Harry Alexander and
