, bad woman. Neither are the women
who figure in these unfortunate elope-
ments really bad at heart. They don't
mean to be immoral, they don't DELHI
erately wish to do anything wicked
they are only bored, or curious, or
neurotic,. or generally
judicious mingling of all four. Their
punishment is none the less easy for
that, however. The outer world
doesn't take much heed of motives
and Intentions; it judges by acts!
And the married woman who elopes
with another man is a social pariah.
Situations of the sort quoted here
are brought about in the first instance
through the passion some women have
absurd little clandestine meetings.
meetings which may be perfectly in
nocent in themselves, but which, if
known by the world and his wife,
would have a decidedly compromising
aspect. The wool merchant and his
friend had their clandestine meetings
on board a yacht down at Atlantic
City No doubt she was carried away
by the romance which hovers round a
yacht, set as it is between sea and
sky Anyhow, the affair had an I'M
fortunate ending.
The married woman who feels her
self becoming engrossed with another
man should pause to ask herself the
old, old question: where is all this
leading to? Where shall | be at the
end of the affair? Is is worth the
ruin of my home and reputation, the
loss of friends, the loss of all ties?"
And if she answers these questions
carefully, she will not go far astray.

4doice to Girls
By Betty :Bropn

Dear Betty Brown: /. Would a
girl be considered forward if she
asked a boy friend to call, or, when
she was going aawy for the summer,
she requested that he write to her?
2. Do you think a chaperone is neces-
sary, If boy and a girl wish to go
out together in the daytime? When
is chaperone indispensable? 3.
When a boy escorts a girl home from
some athletic contest or social affair,
what should she say upon leaving him
at the door ?When is it polite to ask
him in? 4. A girl met a young pro-
|fessional man, but soon learned that he
was married. She would like to meet
the mans wife; how could she secure
her friendship? 5. Do you know OF
anything less stereotyped than I'm
happy to make your acquaintance"
upon being introduced?
Blue Birds.
l. A girl is always at liberty to ask
boy friend to call. 1t is the boys
place to suggest and open a CORE
spondence, however. 2. If a boy and
girl wish to go to the theater or some
other public place in the daytime a
chaperone is not needed. One is
necessary upon picnics, long trips, and
all evening affairs. 8. The girl may
thank the boy for escorting her home.
1t is not necessary to ask him to come
into the house if he has been the escort
from dance or any event that brings
you home at meal time. If he comes
home with you in the afternoon or the
early evening, it is customary to ask
him to come int othe house. 4. She
could ask him to introduce her to the
WIFE If he objects, perhaps it would
be better not to further the acquain-
lance. 5. One could say I'm glad to
know you" or 81 have always wanted
to meet you" for a change from the
customary acknowledgement of AN

Obituary Of Mrs. Jane Benson.

Mary Jane McCaskill was born
in Brown Co, ILL.,, Dec. 13, 1858. She
married Henry Benson March 7,
1894. To this union were born two
children, S. Harvey Benson and
Chalmer H Benson, of whom both
are living. She died Jan. 81, 1915
from the dreadful disease known as
the cancer, being Sc years, 1 month
and 19 days old
About IL years ago the family
moved to Mo, near Hassard where
they were living at her death. She
was the tn rd h Id of family of
IL children.
Mrs Benson was a true compan-
ion to her husband, and a kind
mother to her children She had
many friends in Mo, and Hi; she
was a christian lady. profe sing
faith in Jesus Christ at the age of
lS, and joined the Methodist church
in III. When she was taken sick it
was thought she had a tumor, and
she was taken to a hospital for an
operation, but the Drs found it was
not tumor, but a cancer, and the
hopes for heI recovery was gone
From this time to her death she
was a sufferer of untold pain, but
she bore her Affections with forti
tude. Her neighbors and friends
came to he help and did all that
could be done, for which she and
the family highly appreciated. 1t is
a great privilege to live in a chris
tian land where we have friends to
come in such hours. and give words
of comfort, and do all in their power
to make suffering more bearable
1t is a good thing to have friends to
come and offer words of comfort to
the sorrowing ones when hopes of
life are fading away, as far as earth
ly relationship and companionship
goes. To these sorrowing ones the
neighbors brought all the comfort
they could bring, and when she had
passed away from her suffering, they
went as far as they could in helping
bear their burdens. The funeral
services were conducted by the M.
E. pastor of Monroe City and these
friends to the family were at the
services and with their presence
and tears they offered their heart
felt sympathy.
The funeral was preached at the
Union Church at Hassard, after
which the remains was taken 10 Mt.
Sterling, ILL.,. to be laid to rest. The
school turned out in a body, and
some of the larger pupils sang
beautiful song Beautiful flowers
were put on the casket by friends
and in deep sympathy the boys
clas, bought a beautiful wreath
and had it placed on the casket.
The sympathy of friends run deep
and were expressed in bitter. tears.
May the blessings of God sustain
you in these hours of your deepest
sorrow is the prayer of the preach
er. To the four sisters, two brothers
aud two sons and companion let
me say, look thro your tears to
the city of God; you have a great
deal to live for.
Sincerely.
