tn HE middle aged woman with

car seat with a sigh of re-
lief. MY but I got tired waiting on

paniOn. u hate this standing around
waiting for street cars when there
might just as well have been an au-
tomobile in the family! AS l was
saying to my husband this morning
it does beat all that after you slave
and plan all your life for your chill
dren things never turn out as you
want them tot"
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. It's just that you can't tell
about men. They can be the blindest,
most eXasperating, contrary Crea-
lures! As ] 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 will of his
own and be so 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 ] made up
my mind that 1t was my duty to be
kind Of motheriy 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"
Il thought" said the other woman,
that he and Lizzie"
Il don't believe in trying to make
matches" said the middle aged WON
an, firmly. u wouldn't dream of in
terfering with fate! Lizzie may be
26, but she doesn't look it, and any
one with taste would realize how
SOod-looking she is-in a quiet way,
Of course. l don't think it is refined
to have the sort of looks that at
tract attention, Mrs. Carver, indeed |
don't.
THE first night that I had Alfred
Guam to a good home cooked din
ner I let Lizzie stir up the French
dressing and stuff the baked pota-
toes, and if l happened to mention
that she got the dinner, l can't see
that there was any necessity of my
explaining Just what part Of 1t she
got. AI1red always was gldd TO get
an invitation to dinner. Afterward
had Lizzie show him her book of
photographs There's nothing like
letting young people get acquainted.
Anyhow, Alfred Guam might have
considered himself in luck to get a
nice girl like my Lizzie-not but that
she could have her pick of far better
than he! There's no telling what
man Will hke-and to think that he
should loes his head over that silly,
giggling George MacPrang, who grew
so fond Of Lizzie all of a sudden on
ahe evenings she found that Alfred
was coming! Lizzie is so unsuspi-
cious that she seemed glad to have
George come and make eyes at Al
fred till I put a stop to it. l guess

A bright, glossy head of hair, cas-
lily kept in curl, may be obtained by
dissolving in a pint of boiling water
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.
A 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.

BY YOUR ACTIONS.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 10 and in love with a man
one year my senior He loves me
also. He has two sisters who are
jealous of me and they are always
telling him falsehoods about me,
some of which he believes. What
shall l do to prove that these
things are not true? BILLIE G.
If you will conduct yourself in a
way with which the most carping
critic could find no fault, his sisters
charges will fall fiat to the ground.
Always remember that time has never
weakened the force of that saying,
ACTIONS speak louder than words"
If his love is worth the keeping he
will have no doubt of your worth.

Household Suggestions

To prevent flies settling on pictures
or windows, pour boiling water over
an onion. When the water is cold
use 1t for washing over the glass.
An invaluable cure for sore eyes is
a little boracic powder dissolved in
warm water. When cold battle the
eyes two or three times a day.
Soft hair bristles can be made stiff
and firm by dipping them in a penny
worth of alum dissolved in sufficient
hot water for washing the brush.
When frying fish, dip It in milk in
stead of egg before rolling in bread
crumbs. This is more economical and
tastes better.
Tie a piece of lemon on a corn
every night for five nights and It will
generally cause 1t to drop out.

Advice to the Lovelorn

YOU DON'T LOVE HER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am % and dearly in love with
a girl one year my junior who
says she loves me While at a
party late one evening she fell
asleep and started to walk in her
sleep. l have heard since that she
walks in her sleep quite often. Do
you think we could live happily
together, or should ! give this girl
up? WORRIED.
If you loved her. such a trivial fail
ing would appeal to your sense oil
protection. Not for 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
worthy man.

open window twenty times each
morning-increase your twenty to
thirty-to fifty-breathe deeply when
ever you are outdoors-and finally
grow into the habit of breathing
deeply all the time.
DO you know, when l feel a little
headache starting or find an attack
of indigestion imminent, ! rush to
the open window and breathe deeper
and deeper until that internal ap-
plication of fresh air clears my sys-
tenn and wards off the threatened
attack"
DO you aid and abet your deep
breathing measure by some sensible
dietary laws?" l asked.
"Oh, yes, the food supply is first
aid to the air supply" said the girl
who adds so much wholesome sanity
to the more scintillant charm of her
delightful personality. Il eat only
two meals a day. 1 find that 1 can
sing over sore throat-even an
liberated one-but my voice will not
make music over an overworked and
protesting stomach. Overeating
seems to be a more general complaint
than starvation in our land of too
plenty"
Choosing Costumes.
And to your theory of unlimited
fresh aid and limited food supply you
add bit Of originality in choosing
costumes, don't you?"
"A good bit" was the answer. Il
loathe putting myself into clothes
that some one else has designed for
me. l don't feel quite free to be my
self unless everything about me is
me and expresses me. / like my
clothes to be one form of my self
expression, and l think 1t is worth
while bringing earnest study to the
understanding of your own type. But
II a woman lacks that great essential
taste, she can do one great thing
toward being well dressed-she can
attend to the details of her costume.
Never wear a bedraggled petticoat or
go about in rundown heels, for il
every little detail is neat and in good
taste, even the simplest costume looks
attractive and dainty"
And in the fine glow of an indie
pendent spirit that dares preach be-
cause 1t practices, Miss Barnett con-
cluded: Work hard at deep breath
ing and at deep feeling and thinking
and trying and then you'll be a sue
cess at being a woman and worker,
and a beauty, too, maybe!"
