DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:

DEAR BEATRICE FAIRFAX:
My father is a well to do man
we live in a pretty house in
pretty yard. and wear pretty
clothes. have lots OF nice
friends, and every time one of
them comes to see me my mother
comes into the parlor and talks
about the big washing she has
done. or the big ironing she In
tends to do tomorrow, and /
could sink into the floor, l am so
mortified. She simply will do 1t.
no matter what / say or do. Ny
brother is awfully worked up
about it. too, but father Just
laughs and won't do a thing.
What would you do?
ID laugh with father. that's what
would do, and I'd get brother to
laugh with him. too--he certainly
has the best of that bargain SO far,
hasn't he?
Are you sure mother doesn't laugh.
too, when you are not looking? Per-
haps mother is bit of joker her.
self and has lots of fun horrifying
your fastidious friends.
You can never tell, you know-peo-
pie don't lose their sense of humor
when they get to be 40-not always;
honestly, they do not. For all you
know, mother may be having the
time of her life watching your face
when she tells about the washing and
the ironing-and then--what is there
to be ashamed of about 1t, anyhow?
You don't seem to mind your mother
doing the work, you just seem to be
ashamed of her telling OF it.
why?
Is the work too hard for her? Why
don't you whirl in and help her, then?
There's nothing like a good days
washing for developing a fine figure
and complexion. you know - and
couldn't brother take a hand turning
the wringer once in while?
Why don't you ask him, and see?
What is there so disgraceful about
a good days work well done? Is that
considered a disgrace in your particu-
lar set?
Why?
So the company laughs, does it, and
tries to hide the mirth?
Well. now, wouldn't care much for
company like that and whisper-pick

almost twice as many dwelling house
fires are reported. as occur within the
other twelve hours of the day. Since
the figures compiled by the fire mar
shall consider only the summer months,
however. this is probably explained by
the fact that heating apparatus is
very little used at night during that
season.
One of the most noticeable facts
from the fire marshals analysis OF
fires by hours. is the steady increase
in spark fires throughout the morning.
From nine 10 ten o'clock there was a
total of twenty fires reported. From
ten to eleven o'clock the number rose
to twenty-seven. while from eleven
o'clock until noon, it increased to
total of fifty-five. Fires from defec-
tive flues show the same increase as
that of spark fires.

it beats down upon single roofs. the

KEEP THE SCALES BALANCED BY LAUGHING

Only Thursday talked with wo-
man who was surrounded by twenty
children she had gathered in the slum
district of the city and taken to her
home for turkey dinner.
She had peeped into the core of
life, into its poverty, into its misery,
but she didn't think it was hopeless.
She smoothed back tumbIed hair and
tilted dimpled chins and told me how.
happy the mothers of those Riddles
ought to be because they had the
children.
And the day before that I talked to
woman who had taken a friendless,
stranded girl into her home and kept
her several weeks and mothered her
"a girl who had no claim on her, but
for whom she was sorry. -
And said to this woman: cit was
good of you to take care of the girl
when she was just stranger"
ooh, anyone would have done the
same thing" she answered a trifie
impatiently. cit just happened to be
myself that found her."
And l have seen policemen halt

For very long while had been

worker because of her knowledge of
sociological conditions, CLEANED
through personal investigation, and
when the moment came that my wish
was granted, 1 said to her, impul-
sively:
at is splendid to know you. I am
so envious Of your knowledge of life
at it's core, and"
She did not let me finish. The cor
ners of her mouth dropped, her eyes
looked so very, very sad, and in
voice devoid of expression, devoid of
hope, she answered:
do not envy me. When one
reaches the core of life and sees how
it is eaten away by corruption, it
makes one utterly hopeless"
wonder why? Even when we
know just what bad world this is, it
still is a pretty good world. There

October issue of that publication In
which he shows how dogs destroy
sheep. He says that the dog prob

man to believe in his own dog 1t
lies in the fact that the dog Is kind
to children and guards them, and ticks
their hands, and Is friend to them
II lies In the centuries of companion
