"Oh. you are responsible for the
character and the soul Of that girl.
Just because you have not given her
opportunities for social enjoyment you
compel her to go places that she does
not want to 60 to but to which her
hunger for social life drives her.
"The ladies who are spending wax
ing night and laborious days to build
this Guest House are not working for
fame or profits but rather in the in
terest of the universal sisterhood.
They want to build a home where the
body, intellect and soul of these girls
may be cared for. My experience of
many years has compelled me to be-
lieve that where such a home is not
furnished in the beginning. a reform
atory or some other similar institu-
ton has to be provided in the end.
Need Meeting Place.
These girls who have to go to the
street in order to find or to meet their
friends are continually saying in their
hearts to themselves, oh if somebody
would care about me- The majority
of girls who go wrong are not bad at
heart but they go wrong for lack Of
opportunity of social intercourse"
Mrs. Besserer described the work
of Miss Louise of Chicago and told
how the organization she has built in
that city, similar to the Guest House
proposed for Richmond. has prevent
ed many thousands of girls from
moral ruin. She said that Miss Louise
had devoted a considerable fortune to
this work and was looked upon as a
kind of guardian angel by thousands
Of girls in Chicago.
'If you ladies are thinking that you
can build this Guest House with your
money and time and then suppose you
can leave it to run itself, you had bet
ter never build it. The most import
ant thing you can do is after it is
built to put yourself into it and see
that the heart life of these girls Is
cared for as we'll as the physical life,
If you leave that spiritual basis out
of it. you will have left out the heart
of it ALL"
Spiritual Life Needed.
The speaker then described a home
in an Eastern city in which especial
effort was made to rule out the spir-
itual side of life. THE result of this"
she said, was as 1t is everywhere,
that the girls broke up into cliques
and strata and would not associate
with each other and that finally the
institution was closed because it had
become so immoral"
At the conclusion of Mrs. Besserer's
address. Miss Margaret Starr, presi-
dent of the Guest House Auxiliary, as
sured Mrs. Besserer and those present
that the ladies behind the movement
were expecting to put thir souls into
the work, s we'll as their money and
time and that the Richmond Guest
House would be in every sense a
home for the girls who come to 1t.

KOKOMO. Ind, Feb. 26.-This
is the last week that Kokomo peo-
pie may have their ice cream for
the good old price of rs cents a
quart. Beginning March 1 the
price will be 35 cents. BY a Pc
culiar coincidence all of the deal
ers in Kokomo announced the raise
in price on the same day. Soda
fountain men will In the future
pay 70 cents a gallon instead of
60 cents as at present. The manu-
facturers say that the high cost
of living has them by the hair, and
that the price of milk has increased
so per cent. The soda fountain
men are raising a cry. and it is
broadly hinted that their delicious
dishes will soon sell for ten cents
instead Of five. The ultimate con-
sumer has not yet raised his salary.

BLACKSMITHS NOT

MARION. Ind, Feb. 26.-Mayor
Bachelor has decorated the lid clamp
ed on this city with a horse shoe.
This means bad luck for the black
smiths. 1t means that they must keep
their shops closed Sundays unless the
Saturday proceeding was such as to
make the streets slippery. Some OF
the blacksmiths who didn't want to
work on Sunday made complaint that
their competitors were breaking the
law. Other complaints were made by
church people. Then the mayors or
der came.

 The girl who chooses the jolly, light-hearted dev1l-may young fellow for a suftor- has very little con- cern for her future. While it is true that marriage may change man, 1t is also fact that a wife may con tend with much before a reformation takes place.
 To the brave and strong it seems an easy matter to withstand temptation, But there are some natures so con stituted that they are easily led oy stronger wills. The word no faiters on their lips so tremblingly that 1t IS not diff1cult to silence it altogether The man to whom flattery is a. pi- quant sauce falls readily under the influence to those who whisper full some praises in his ear
 The gambler with the suave manner and smooth tongue, can lure him into trying his luck just once more. It Is also almost impossible for him to re- sist so-oaIed friends who challenge him to go for a. lark where his money would pay the way for all hands The man who hasn't a will of his own and cannot say ''no,' no matter what the temptation is that besets him, Is perfectly aware of his failings early in life, and has no business to be- come a husband or father.
 The woman who loves him has faith in him even when hope seems most forlorn. She forgives him again and again until patience ceases to be q virtue Instead of his being grateful to her for her forbearance, her con stant pleadings to reform annoy him. GIe calls it nagging. Strive as she may, the family never gets ahead. The husband is an easy mark for home and tell her with glowing en- thusiasrn that they are bo be million aires without delay.

 A great disaster causes him quickly to change his mind. When he humbly sues for his wife's opinions and abides by them he is proof against yielding to outside temptations. The house di- vided against itself cannot stand.

sUPERFLUoUs HAIR.


 e~atil letters started pouring in from my readers. I never realized how prevalent superf1uous hair was. And as a matter of fact, [ believe that many of my girl readers exag- gerate their trouble.
 The healthy. full grown body is covered with tiny soft. co1orless hairs that are almost invisible. On the very young body these hairs do not show or rather, not many are pres ent. As one grows older they grow thicker and are more prominent, but about the twentieth year they thin out Acne, which sometimes takes the form of b1ackhealds and pirnples is often caused by the pores being clogged when these soft hairs are healthy skin, therefore shows these hairs more plainly than the unhealthy skin.
 The complaint of many. of my un- der-twenty-f1ve cores pondenfs is that they are troubled with superhuous hair about, their lips. One girl writes me that she believes the hair will coarsen in time, and asks if she should have 1t shaved off Absurd. If you cut this hair it is sure to grow in coarser, while if you let it remain as it is, in time it will disappear and you will cease to worry about it.. Therefore. unless this superfiuous hair becomes so evident that people stare at you on it's account, wait, and in time it will go of it's own accord.
 If you want to help it to go with out fnjuring the skin in any way, why not use pumice stone daily. This will wear the hairs off. But let me give you one hint. I wish could write this caution in letters as long as the page on which 1t appears-don't use peroxide on your upper lip. It will whften the skin. yellow the hair, coar- sen it, and make it stand out thick and shiny. You ney use peroxide on almost any other part of the Eu- man body, but the skin Of the upper lip is too sensitive to experiment on

For a number of years Colonbians refrafned from tinkering with the title of their country, but after the revolution of 1885, when the sovereignty of the nine states was abolished and they became simply departments of a unitary gov ernment, the country reverted to the old name of Republic of Colombia.

 Cofombia has the reputation of be- ing a hotbed of revolution, but this is far from true, for only twice in the history of the country has the legal succession to the presidency been brok- en-a record equaIled by no other Lat in republic save Chile There have been frequent revolutions, but few have been successful. and they have usually, entailed less loss of life and property than an important strike in North America or Europe.
