1t is all very well for friends to sug-

end in love and marriage, but there
are sometimes obstacles in the way

and yearnings for romance she has
sacrificed on the altar of sisterly fidel-
ity more than once. They cannot afford
to part with her help and she has

occurs the citadel of the heart is
stormed beyond recall. The old love
springs into emotions.
Let no true, single man think for

Hats and Faces.

A Boston man went down to Hart
ford and said to the Motherhood club
of that city. If you have a 29-cent
face don't wear a $50 hat"
OF course. the Boston man didn't
make it clear to the ladies with Hart
ford faces just what the hat-and-face
ratio should be. Even a Decent face
might hesitate over wearing 29-cent
hat. On the other hand a woman with
a $50 face could scarcely be expected
to don a $50 hat
No, the Boston man is wading into
deep water. He quite overlooks the
eternal law of compensation.
Let the Decent face wear a $50 hat
1t may distract attention.
AS for the woman with the $50 face,
she doesn't need any hat.-Cleveland

KITCHENER AS A PET
ROLE WOULD COME AS SURPRISE
TO HIS SUBoRDINATES.
Nevertheless, Graphic Picture Has
Been Drawn of His Friendship
With Two Elderly Ladies'
Unique Use of Gift.

Many of the best friends of Lord
administrator and secretary of war,
are women, despite the popular belief
that he is grimly uncompromising
woman hater. In a recent brief biz
ography of * of X" Harold Begbiel
draws most winning picture of his
friendship with two of his elderly rel
ativesA'two dear, diminutive old
Scotch ladies who lived in Phillimore
gardens, Kensington, by name of the.
Misses Hutchinson; and Kitchener
was no dearer to these charming
spinsters than they to him.
He wrote to them brightly and boy
ishly b. almost every mail.
Before he went to Egypt for his adj
vance on Khartum, these dear old la
dies presented him with a gold-headed
'swagger' cane; and when the advance
was accomplished and the photograph
er arrived to make a picture of the
general and his staff, Kitchener seated
himself in the center of the group
with this stick held so ostentatiously
that the old ladies in Kensington could
not fail to recognize it when the pho
tograph appeared in the illustrated pa
pers. He sent them roses from Cor
don's grave at Khartum, and coats of
the caliph from the Sudan"
Their house was always his goal on
his return from distant service. and
in it he was like schoolboy, running
up the stairs two at a time, whistling
in his bedroom, going and coming as
he pleased, and telling them such sto-
ries of his campaigns as no one else
in London ever heard. They called
him Herbert, pronouncing it Hair
BURT" in the broadcast Scotch, and
would sit on either side of him study
ing his bronzed face with their small,
smiling, shrewd eyes, teasing him,
chatting him; adoring him, and giving
him sound advice"
Later on in his triumphal career
their 'Hairburrt" once wished to make
the little old ladies gift so valuable
and unusual that they felt called upon
to pause and consider before accept
ing it. 1t was gold casket-one of
the many gold caskets presented to

Psyche of Capua.

Edmund Won Mach in his "Eand-
ook of Greek d Roman Sculpture, ;"
says that the marble Psyche & Ca
qua, "so-called," was discovered in
the ruins of the amphithea. er in Ca
qua, together with the Capuan Aphro-
dite, in tn middle of the eighteenth
century. The lower part of the nose
has been restored and the entire fig
ure has been polished to obtain a
smooth surface. The figure seems
too ature to be a Psyche and may
be an image of Aphrodite. Judged
as a piece of architectural decoration
this Psyche is perfect" says Won
Mach. Studied close at hand it is
very disappointing. The body is ~.
Dictated by graceful outlines. but there
is no fine modelling anywhere"

She gave a bitter to all the bliss
Now for Johnny to give her hat.
And now for Johnny to give her kiss.
Till patience failing, oft he said;
You're enough to turn a mans head.
A number of young girls allow
their hearts to slip from them and to
go out to young men while they are
unsuited for each other They own
afterward that it was just for the
sake of being betrothed and for mar
rying. Young girls take pleasure in
going here and there many times.
They are sure to meet gentlemen at
some of these places whom they re-
gard as very nice and attractive.
At first they are attracted by his
extreme politeness. Judging from the
regard he shows them, when in each
others company, the sincere-hearted
girls begin to think constantly of him
and to treasure up the meaning of his
pleasant conversations as having the
deep motive of love- which they have
reciprocated without the tender words
of avowal having passed between
them. Each believes the other is ON
marriage intent.
This goes on favorably. Loves
young dream. In many viewpoints
neither understands the other. But
what matters it if they have no in
sight into the comedy of after years?
They Danish all serious thoughts from
discussion, leaving the future to. care
for itself, laughing at obstacles that
loom up, for the sake of marrying.
Just to have Mrs" prefix their
names, if for no better reason, shows
what little control some young girls
are wont to exercise over their in
tentions and hastily placed affections.
little reckoning whether they make
good future, or, by their own will,
have courted an idol who is delusion,
bringing discomfort in the days that
follow.
1t should be the object of a girls
aim to be sensible and to throw off
fancy's indulgence for the young men
who cross her path, unless love and
consideration of suitability and sane
alliance are to be contracted. By safe
guarding their future they will not
be apt to wake up to the conclusion
that there is no poetry in marriage;
that they have not taken one another
only for the sake of marrying.
Ask your mother or some older mar
ried friend to aid you in getting over
the foolish tendency of caring for a
man whose love for you is lukewarm
only. Make up your mind you will
not place your affections on one who
does not think it his duty to come out
and show the state of his feelings
toward you, until, at last, when he
makes up his mind that he will
chance marrying. When he says to
you that marriage is a lottery he is
not paying the girl of his choice a
compliment, even when he adds that
he is willing to take a chance
There is a great deal that is CLOSED
over by young men and young women
just for the sake of marrying, which
has to be faced afterward. The best,
in fact the only proof Of mans love
and constancy is in his worthy con-
filings to you as soon as courtship
begins.

elder brothers and sisters right royal
ly. "a boys boy for a that" is the
cry that never dies out by those con-
doning his follies Parents deny them
selves necessary comforts, pinch. save
all this to give the young man a
better start in the world than they
had and keep him from having to
face the world penniless, as they con-
stantly remind those growing up, who
look to them for iberality.
The young hopeful hears the old. old
story of how his father trudged foot
sore miles to his ill-paying work, etc.
He breaks out with a groan from his
lusty young lungs: dad, how many
more times are those doleful tales you
fling out so heavily at me to be told?
Give us something new"
Young blood has not the least desire
to have these truths flung at them.
When they feel that the latchkey given
them should not compel them to be in
by midnight they confront the head
of the house with the information that
they are nearly Of age and it's best to
manage themselves as other boys have
done
Then the dark days come when the
plucky youngster not out of his teens
packs his most needed belongings and
with little bag and baggage starts off
to put out for himself. He braved the
anger of his exacting father when
away he went to hard position which
he had taken and capped the climax
by hiring plain hall bedroom, whose
furniture consisted of cot, washstand
and an apology of a small table, "1
want no luxurious furniture stuff to
hamper me-" said the boy who was to
manage himself. 1--WE had too much
fostering and brain-clouding at the
homestead"
What mattered it to the youth, who
was feverish to find out what he could
fill in the world that he had CHANGED
to roam to the nearest town to COM
mence managing his career-a dis
lance of dozen miles away? AS soon
as the meager words on postal con-
tanned his address, that he was well,
and sent love to all, the mother and
sisters kept back their tears and in
broken accents murmured he had
been too tenderly nurtured to undergo
hardships which they feared he had to
face. The father testify broke in:
You women are the ones who spoil
youths career; instead of hardening
him for the ups and downs he has to
expect, you keep up making it easy
for him and adding to the burden l
have to bear. The boy can manage
himself better than you can"
Young men like the dear, sweet, old
fashioned home which they have been
reared in, but they do not feel fattered
to hear themselves called the kid"
from the time they are in their teens
and until they are out of it because
they are the youngest in the family 1t
is no laughing matter for him to hear
them say flatteringly: you are a real
dude, in the new suit the governor
gave you" He likes the suit best
which he pays for, with money he has
earned. The first time eager mother
and sisters start to visit him, late
Monday afternoon, they are weighed
down with packages they have talked
over that he needs-his house slippers,
box of neckties, bottles of perfume,
volumes of books, pictures, etc. The
little ballroom looked like menag-
erie when they piled all in.
Yet these dear mothers and sisters
persist in telling that they know now

He had accompanied his baggage
just as far as the bureau of the
Jermyn Street hotel Any room they
liked, and he would be back some
time before midnight; that was his
| card, they could enter his name for
themselves. He departed, pipe in
mouth, open knife in one hand, plug
tobacco in the other; and remarks
were passed in Jermyn Street as the
taxi bounced out west in ballast.
But indeed it was too fine a morn
ing to waste another minute indoors,
even to change ones clothes, If GAIA
let had possessed any better than the
ones he wore and did not rather glory
In his rude attire. He was simply and
comfortably drunk with the delight of
being back. He had never dreamed of
its getting into his head like this; at
the time he did not realize that it had.
That was the beauty of his bout. He
knew well enough what he was doing
and seeing, but inwardly he was lit
orally blind. Yesterday was left be-
hind and forgotten like the Albert
Memorial, and tomorrow was still as
distant as the sea, if there were such
things as tomorrow and the sea.
Meanwhile what vivid miles of daz-
cling life, what subtle autumn flavor
IN the air; how cool in the shadows,
how warm in the sun; what a spark

yet, if those weren't the first of the
autumn tints on the trees in Castle

There went funeral, on it's way to
Mortlake! The taxi overhauled it at a
callous speed. Cazalet just had time
to tear off his great soft hat It was
actually the first funeral he had seen
since his own fathers; no wonder his
radiance suffered brief eclipse But
in another moment he was out on
Barnes Common.
1t had been the bicycle age when he
went away; now it was the motor age,
and the novelty and contrast were
endless to a simple mind under the
influence of forgotten yet increasingly
familiar scenes. But nothing was lost
on Cazalet that great morning; even
a milk-foat entranced him, itself en-
chanted, with it's tall can turned to
gold and silver in the sun. But now
he was on all but holy ground. 1t was
not so holy with these internal cleo
