Mrs. Tenney dropped In las

We do not enter into pleasures
with our own sex as men do. Men
can have fine times with each
other and never miss us, but to
be perfectly happy we women
must have man around. The
other evening | took a party of
women friends to the theater and
then to supper after the play.
We did not have much to eat but
the bill was $50. l didn't mind
the money, for you know Bill

a man pays for the fleeing mo-
ments of pleasure count up. Few
women realize this, and often
am sure 1 have counted man
as stingy when, poor thing, he
was probably spending more than
he was able.
When l was a girl I would
never carry my own suitcase be-
cause l had feeling that wom-
an who did that told the passer-
by, as loudly as though she
shouted it, that she was poverty
stricken in both money and ad-
mirers. that she could not afford
to have it carried and did not
have any man who loved her

Dear Miss Grey: May I
say just a word in reply to
L. e. NJ, whose letter appear
ed in your column on the
9Th? She says in speaking
of her chum, 81 have not
seen her for a year. because 1
am going to be married to a
man who won't let me talk to
her." | don't sanction what
this girl did, but-Pd like to
ask L. E. NJ, don't you think
she has suffered enough for
her wrong-doing, and is that
particular mistake so much
worse than some perhaps you
may have made. that you are
justified in doing your share
toward making her an out
cast? Did you ever stop to
think that this life here Is a
school room where we are
getting our lessons and that
we all make mistakes? When
you were a child in school,
did your classmates refuse to
speak to you because you
failed to have your lessons
as well as some of the 9TH
ers, or did someone help you
with the lesson which was
too hard for you to get?
Don't you suppose this girls
mistake has been a hard,
bitter lesson to her, and that
she would appreciate a kind
word from you now?
You say You are going to
be happy all of your life.
How do you know you are?
You don't know the future
or what 1t may bring to you.
You may have daughters
who will do just what this
girl has done. Then do you
suppose their father will
think it Is all right that no
one should speak to them?
Did you ever read anything
which sounds like this: "He
who is without sin, let him
cast the first stone?" Our
mistakes are stepping-stones
to higher life, and II this
girl had a chance ten to one
she would be a better woman
than ever before. l never
could, and don't yet, under
stand why people do all they
can to make an outcast of a
woman just because she has
made a mistake, and in my
estimation our mistakes in
condemning her and not Civ
ing her a helping hand is
worse than what she done.
Two wrongs never did make
anything right. I. myself.

Q.-How can keep my lit
tie three-year-old son from
using his left hand instead of
his right? CAREFUL.
ADO not try. Ii is not scien-
tific to "break" a child of this
habit.
Aptitude with the left hand Is
Unborn. Scientific men give many
reasons for il. The last investiga-
ton attributes IL to differences in
the eyes, but this theory is not
generally accepted.
A "southpaw" has the thinking
area of his brain reversed by ma
ture. He should be let alone. To
train him to observation-disclosures
makes him slow, for his brain and
muscles are then compelled to do
several times their legitimate
amount of work In the simplest
use of the hand. First the brain
must control the natural impulse
to use the left hand; then it must
send a message to the right hand,
the muscles of which respond to
the command much more slowly
than those of the left hand.
Science has special names for all
these processes.
Mothers and teachers should
study the subject and become con-
WINGED of the folly and cruelty of
trying to make left-handed child
over into a right-handed one.

All roses should be pruned In
