Do Not Marry the Minister
Dear Miss Libbey:

Dear Miss Libbey:
 I am greatly in need Of your good advice. I am girl Of twenty-two, vivacious and fun-loring A young minister has been calling for the past year. and despite the fact that I have plenty of young men coming to see me, he has proposed. Of course re- spect him. but couldn't love him if he were the last man on earth. | love dancing. he has a horror of it. I like ragtime music, he disapproves of it greatly. I use a little powder, but no rouge. He thinks changing one's com p1exion ever so Slightly a crime [ don't think innocent irritation a sin, but he does, and a deadly one at that I think a wife ought to go about quite as much after marriage as before; he thinks a wife should buckle down to being a house drudge when she Is not atwiting on all the sick people she comes across. Tn short, we have not one liking in common, and this is the man both nay father and mother insist upon tying me to in the bond of mar riage I am at that pass that am seriously considering running away. I. have a good home, but I would rather work hard for my living than marry man never can love. Will you write Something on this that my folks will see, and need. 4.n9y nave .SESSses - spect for your opinion.
 JEaSsIE.a
 Marriage, under the condftions which yo,1 describe, would sur ely lead to misery instead of happiness. No doubt your parents wish to see you safely welded to a young man Of excellent nrinciple ere they pass away, but t7ere is quiet another matter to be considered, and that is your future happiness No tie is quite So irksorne as the marriage bond at which both pull in opposite directions. Tell the minister your views frankly,e and am 5I1ite sure he will not care to re-. n,ssi4 fvo,1r sllitor The truth is best fold now. Time will show your pa- rents that you were quite right 10 re- fuse to marry man whom you do not and could never love.

DOMESTIC HELPS AND
 AIDS TO HOUSEWIVES

 scIosing a secret trap in the bottom, from which he took an atomizer, a pair of nippers and a bottle of pale viscid nuid
 For an hour. he waited, mot1onless. not even his fixed eyes blinking as he regarded the curtains of the berth Lu- cille occupied.
 He was swift; he was certain; he was sure. Deity parting the curtains, he looked down upon the sleeping girl. No atom of pity was in his heart. All the thief now, his ayes glittered as he allowed them to rest upon the glowing strand of stones about her neck.
 Swiftly he leaned over, applying his pinchers to the gas jet and unscrew ing it so that the odOr of the gas slowly began filling the stuffy section. Then he gently sprayed the ether across her face, never moving when she un- consciously stirred to fight off the an aesthetic.
 Her breathing became heavier while her lips took on bluish tinge. The gas was becoming stronger, and he- knew her condition would be ascr1bed to asphyHation when she recovered from the effects of the ether. stoop- ing, with no appearance of care now, he unfastened the rubies from her throat A moment he waited, slipping them in his pocket, then he slipped back to his own compartment.
 Carefully he repealed his grip, tuck ing the necklace in his breast pocket.S Against the door he crouched, waiting.
 No trace of anxiety he showed He was confident of himself. Came a clamping down upon the ties as the air brakes worked. Thompson threw open his window, looking out to dis cover it was opposite a tiny station With d pocket knife he cut out the: screen that separated him from the tracks.
 Cautiously he looked up and down the track. The train was slowing down. He tossed his bag far out from him, then slipped partially through the window. The lights Of the station were almost in his eyes when he jump ed. landing on his feet and regaining his balance with an effort Then he permitted himself the luxury Of e smile.

THE EAR THAT JUTs OUT FROM
 THE HEAD

Many ears are set upon the sides of the head at such an angle that they make the face look like a jug handles. All my pity goes out to the woman who wears ears of this de- scription, as they absolutely spoil the beauty of her face, making it look as if it belonged in the comic sup plements.
 While this defect ca1 not be rem edied in a week or a month, per- sistence for a long period of time with the treatment spoken of below win finally give satisfactory results.

HER FLIRTING OLD BEAU
2 70 we fell out, I know not why, And kiss'd again with tears, And blessings on the falling out
 That all the more endears.''

Many young woman itnagines that if she encourages an old suitor there will be no disturbing elements in her courtships. She thinks that he will be so gratif1ed in having so young and fair sweetheart that he will fairly dote upon her, be her willing slave, have no eyes for anyone else, spend all his time in devoting ways and means to further her enjoyment Last, but by no means least, she thinks he will lavish his money upon her in the shape of ibonbons, flowers and taking her to places of amusement.
 The old beau is steady, having sown his wild oats, if he had any, and will prove an excellent husband she be- lieves. The newness of their acquaint- ance has scarcely worn off ere she in an unguarded moment at young misses in their teens, who wear dress es a'nkle-length, their hair in brafds. down their backs.
 Such men form habits which. grip them with so firm a hold that they seldom or never are enabled to shake themselves free from them.

At thir- ty. he found the young woman of twenty-five most congenial to him. At thirty Live. the girl in her early twen- ties appealed to him. At forty. he chose the girl of eighteen. Later on but bless usi we must hide the foibles of the old beau lest it might be thought he was hiking back to boy hood fancies.
 When the little maid laughs at him and the young girl turns away from him annoyed and the older girls show lack Of interest, he looks the matter sQuarely in the face. One of the young women whom he first knew has become widow. To her he turns for consolation and sympathy. She un- derstands him. The flirting of the old beau does not annoy her a particle She realizes that the girls don't want him. He is as safe from their subtle charms and danger of their winning him as a thief in mill. Trust a widow to be a match for a flirting old beau. be she anywhere between twen- ty -four or at the height Of her fas- eination-fat, fair and forty.

Afternoon robes in velvet are sim pie and invariably embellished by broad hip sashes or long-wafsted vel vet belts. White linen or muslin col lars edged with narrow bands of fur are pretty and dainty as finish to these simple afternoon gowns.
 There are four ways of wearing the veil this season. With the small turbans it is worn mask-1ike across the upper part of the face. stopping just under the nose. This style is the ''bobby'' style. The chin veil stops just half way between the mouth and chin. The face veil is well known and depends on It's mesh and details for novelty.E The draped veil fails from the hat about the shou1- ders..

 ssPlease eat, he said quietly, motion ing toward the end of the desk where the orderly was spreading a cold re past of canned meats and vegetables and steaming coffee, and forgive me if I can't talk now I must think what is best to be done.''
 Lucille smiled as she devoted her at tention to the repast. She finally dn- tshed to find young Lieutenant Car Inody staring fxedly at her, his brow clouded.
 It's too much for me- he muttered "Of course it is, she laughed hearti- Iy. But I firmly believe that I will win
 ..But why?,'
 sBecause.r and all the mirth had gone from her face. all the laughter from the eyes that were reverentlys lifted, because everything have done has been done for the sake of love and because love has watched over me and helped me. That is the reason, Lieu tenant Carmody, Hugo Loubeque can never be beaten or brought to justice because of fear or hate, for his own powers in that direction gre greater than those of nations
 Well ?s' The officer unwi1lingly agreed. fsWhat do you propose doing 2 Isn't there some way in which T can help you3 3''
 .sYes,' she answered promptly. etYou can let me have money. You ! can tell me how to dispose of one of these. valuable rubies. or all of them, and you can help me catch the first train for San Francisco"
 Carmody whistled aloud his amazed delight as he regarded the marvellous Jewels in the necklace she laid upon the table Then he loaned her the lying down and resting until he could skirmish up some proper clothing and find out about the trains.
 It was dawn before she wakened and, though she felt alarm lest he had allowed her to miss a train, his reas- surance and the sight of the clothing he had found for her made things seem much brighter. Then, too, the ninety odd dollars in currency seemed far more than even the rubies about her neck Several hours later she boarded the train, assisted by a wor- ried looking young officer, her heart light and gay, for she felt within her self that the journey that had been so long and so hazardous was finally nearing an end: that the familiar, dear faces would surround her on every aide
 With every alamping of the wheels upon the frogs 6f the track her heart gave up a song of confidence, for Hugo Loubeque had put forward his own strength against her and, added to this, the strength of a portion of his organization. He had imprisoned her in two apparently impregnable places. and still she was here, all unbeknownst to him, speeding toward his house, in tent upon beating him once and for all
 And in the compartment at which she stared with unseeing eyes Thomp- son regarded her in the mirror. his own eyes glittering with malicious ri umph and with avarice.
