A Friend In Distress
The young woman who wrote the
above letter was not conscious that
she had written the very. article she
desired should be published in this
column.
1t is quite complete as 1t is, and
really needs no comments.
But much more can be said on the
subject of unwise mothers.
The really wise, the really unsslfish,
the really tender and big Drained and
hearted mother is an unusual being
to encounter.
There are mothers who love to slave
for their children.
They love to wait upon them. to deny
themselves necessities, to suffer for
them. This mother Is usually called a
good, devoted mother, but she rears a
brood of selfish, inconsiderable chill
dren, who make bad wives and hus-
bands. And of course, they are un-
grateful and unsatisfactory sons and
daughters, because only their most sell
fish instincts have been catered to.
There is the mother who loves her
children so devotedly that she Is jealous
of all their friends. and later is Jealous
of their wives and husbands, and de-
stroys their happiness by being the
proverbial mother-in- law.
There Is the disorderly mother, who
neglects to teach her children the
foundation of all the other virtues,

THEY HAVE A CHERRIES TRIP
TO SUBURBAN TOWN ON A

"Lo ok, dear, isn't that a restaurant
over here?"
Warren shifted the dripping UNI

rain -riven village street.

end an affair of this kind that Helen
had not taken it seriously. But that
morning at breakfast he told her to
meet him at $40; that they would take
an early train and get dinner at Mil
ford.
We'll not go if it rains?" protested
Helen, looking at the gray threaten
ing sky.
"Rain? Think I'd let a little rain
keep me from seeing Max make a
fool of himself? Not much"
But now, as they splashed through
the dark, rain-swirled streets, with

There, that's more like it," as now
two signs, Milford House Grill and
Cafe" shone out cheerfully ahead.
We san at least get something to
drink there"
Helen Gleeful
"Oh, it's an old-fashioned country
hotel" exclaimed Helen gleefully, as
they went up the steps. Just the
kind of a place 1 hoped we'd find"
1t was an old frame house, built on
Colonial lines, and the wide center
hall was used as an office.
A man, evidently the proprietor,
pleased at having guests on so rainy
a night, came from behind the desk
with a hospitable Good evening""
Can you give us something to eat?''
asked Warren, ramming his dripping
umbrella into stand by the door.
Yes, sir, certainly" leading them
into the dining room, which was
empty and dark except for a single
gas jet. Hastily he lit up he center
chandelier and turned to Warren with
an apologetic, IT'S a little late for
our regular supper, sir. but we can
give you anything you want"
What have you got that's good?"
for Warren knew that whatever you
want in a village hotel meant a
choice of but two or three things
Nice sirloin steak, sir, or we can

Warren ordered a steak and French
fried potatoes, his standard order
when in doubt about the culinary re-
sources of place.

mosphere of rooms and places, was

the fact that while the average re-

fifty per cent of his entire expendi-

more than one per cent. and he asked
his hearers if they thought this was

porch with a final:
Three blocks straight ahead and

At the first crossing, with splash
Helen stepped into a puddle.
Look where you put your feet"
growled Warren.
Then as she glanced down at her
spattered skirt she stopped short with
a dismayed:
"Oh!'
Now what's the matter?"
Another Mishap
"Oh, nothing, only IL must have
left my overshoes under the table.
But it doesn't matter" hastily, they're
old ones and these shoes are heavy"
Without a word Warren switched
her around, and in grim silence
marched her back to the hotel. At
the gate she broke away from him
and ran ahead, through the office and
into the dining room. where her over
shoes were still under the table.

without deigning an answer, War

almost to run to keep under the UNI
brella- One of her overshoes was
loose, and, when she stopped to stamp
it on, he jerked his arm away and
stalked on ahead.
She caught up with him, but her
overshoe was still loose, and as they
crossed the street 1t came off in the

turns from advertising unless what
he is advertising is meeting a distinct
want or will perform some needful
service" In addition, he said, adver-

can expect permanent benefits from
