ALPS w ell That
~ Ends Well *

Are you a gutter? There are
about two chances out of three that
YOU are, and have never suspected it.
Sounds extremely unfriendly and
critical, doesn't it? But, like many
fairly disagreeable statements. It is
true.
When people critisise you. you
want to hear the nice things. 1t
soothes and gratifies you, doesn't it?
1t gives you pleasant, amiable
comfortable feeling to be told how
pretty you are, or how sweet, or
what dandy voice you have, or
what bully good game of billiards
you play; but suppose some one
comes along and tells you that you
are lazy, or that you don't put
enough of your own personality into
your work - won't you put up an
argument?
Well, YOU can't talk to me-and [
tell YOU that you are a gutter! You
aren't getting on as fast as you'd
like to, are you? A good many of
the folks you know have advanced
far beyond you. You don't seem to
get much chance. Fate isn't very
kind to you. If you had any luck
you'd be earning double what they're
paying you. You say all these things
and shrug your shoulders and let 1T
so at that, don't you?
Well then, L tell you you are q
gutter; you don't see things
through.
Suppose you don't like your pres
ent position, but stay lest YOU fail
10 get another if you give that up
Your cowardice has you beaten be-
lore you start the race. You are a
quitter-too timorous to try.
fou start out in the game of life
to make a success; now why let any
sort of weakness make you con-
denim yourself to failure?
The man or woman who sees
things through is the one who makes
a success of life. This doesn't mean
that starting half Il dozen Jobs and
leaving theme because you were not
suited to them, or they are not suited
to you. marks you as a failure: but
1t does mean that not having the de-
termination to fight to see your job
through, to fight to get the best kind
of job you can do, and to fight to
get recognition for your work, marks
you as a quitter.
4 friend of mine who is unfortu-
nately n victim of that dread afflic-
ton writer's cramp" decided to do
her bit and learn to knit There
seemed to her no particular reason
why she should not knit with her
left hand. So she devoted a great
deal of time and energy to learning.
She struggled wildly to gain control

Discouragement and failure dil

ted few struggling, uncontrolled
rows, ripped them and started over
again. There was no improvement
IN her work, but she kept at it with
perseverance, concentration and
grim determination. At the end OF
four weeks she had made absolutely
no progress.
1t was perfectly evident that her
unframed left hand would need a
vast amount of training in order 10
produce any kind of knitting that
was not a collection of holes, tangles
and dropped stitches.
II won't quit. I've started this
and I'm going to see it through" she
told me grimly.
But you are quitting! You're
stubbornly torturing yourself with a
thing for which you are not fitted
which requires a vast expenditure OF
energy and makes no return; you are
neglecting the things you might do
and do well, because you want to do
what everybody else is doing. Why
don't you make some of your won
derful orange marmalade and send II
W camp why uOI L you plduI d
war garden? Why don't you COM
pose songs? Why don't you go out
and get money for the library fund.-
l asked.
She glowered at me. Il won't
quit"
And at the end of three months
Lorraine is still struggling to do the
thing for which she is not fitted
and there are so many things she
might do well!
When you're too stubborn to ad.
NIT that you are in the wrong field
that you can't do the work that you
set out to do-too stubborn to look
for the work for which you are fit
ted-then you are an absolute
gutter; for the thing which you are
failing is common sense. Efficiency
practicality and suitability are the
things which an earnest worker and
an honest worker look for.
4 gutter starts out on the path
of life searching for a means of earn
ing n livelihood. If he tumbles into
som ething which pays fairly well and
works at it he Feels sure that he is
not gutter. But the man who re-
fuses to look for the job which is
supremely his is a quitter.
The woman who shifts her re-
sponsibility on to someone else's
shoulders is quitter. SO you quit
when you give thing up because it
is too hard for you, and equally you
quit" when you insist on trying to

Fashions of To-Day BY May Manton

Here is a really ideal dress for
he school girl. It.can be made
of gingham or of linen, or any
material of such sort, and it can
be made of serge with equal
propriety. In the illustration,
shepherds check is trimmed
with green broadcloth, to give
a very smart effect. You could
use a plaid gingham trimmed
with a plain linen, or you could
use a plaid serge and trim
with plain taffeta, or you could
use a plain serge and trim with
a plaid taffeta. Washable ma
terials will, however, be given
preference for the school dress
of the early season, and the
ginghams, chambrays, the cot
ton gabardine, cotton poplin
and linen are admirable for
this dress. 1t is a very simple
garment for the body and skirt
portions are .cut in one. Tl:A
belt is passed through slashes
under the box plaits, to allow
long unbroken lines. If you
prefer, you can make the collar
round at the back. The frock
of serge with silk trimming will
be serviceable for street wear
throughout the mild weather as
will the shepherds check shown
in the illustration.
For the I2-year size will be
needed, 519 yards of material
27 or Al yards SO inches wide
with ID of a yard SO inches wide
for the trimming.
The pattern o547 is cut in
sizes from 8 to ID years. 1t will
be mailed to any address by
the Fashion Department of this
paper on receipt of fifteen cents.

Advice to the Lovelorn
MAKE YOUR BROTHER WoRE

MAKE YOUR BROTHER WORK
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am a girl of twenty, seeking ad-
vice.
l have a brother who is just
twenty-five. He is very attractive
looking and, of course, the girls are
crazy about him. Having lost both
our parents, we were shifted about.
try and keep home just as mother
did, but my brother refuses to work.
Now, Miss Fairfax, l cannot keep
home on $40 week and support
two. BY that 7 mean my brother
wants new suit every two weeks
or hat, shoes, etc. He does not think
that have to work hard as a book
Keeper for that money. I've tried to
tell him, but he told a young man
| that works in my place of business
What is the good of working when
Your sister works for you?" | felt
hurt over that remark and / spoke
to him. He says he will not work
as long as he is at home. 1t would
break my heart to turn him out, as
he was mothers ideal.
HEARTBROKEN SISTER.
From what you write, | gather
that your brother is a weakling who
is of that contemplate sort that
gladly permits woman to work for
his support. In allowing this, YOU
are doing the boy a frightful in
justice. No man who has a real re-
spect for himself will let a woman
work to support him. In working
that he may be idle, you are en-
couraging the boy in his desire for
life with ease and luxury, and in
selfish and even vicious feeling that
II doesn't matter who works for him
las long as her work insures him
freedom from responsibility.
You aren't being fair to your
mother when you encourage your
brother in his contemplate stand.
OF course, she wouldn't want the
boy she idoliZed to turn into the
sort of creature he seems to be.
Can't you make him recognize that
he is harming no one so much as
himself-that he is spelling his own
future and cutting himself off from
any chance of growing ito some
useful and paying occupation which
would let him be a respected citizen
some day? Can't YOU stir his ambi-
ton and give him a picture of him
self as a man who accompliShcS
things and is looked up to by peo-
pie?
If kindness won't help, he must
be forced to make his own way. He
may have to learn in the school of
hardship and adversely, but he must
be saved from turning into that
most contemplate of all creatures, a
man who sits back in callous bru-
tality and let's woman slave to
support him.

There was a mutual attrac-

back. There was mutual attrac-
ton.
But the next second came the
realization that she was committing
an offense against the conventions.
Quickly she averted her eyes, her
pose stiffened, the lines about her
mouth became frigid and repellant.
She could not be induced to look
that way again.
The little incident struck me so
forcibly that later, when bantering
the lad over his repulse. | made the
half-serious suggestion of the crying
need for a state or city clearing
house, where the credentials of
young people desiring to know each
other could be made up and in
spected.
The social. industrial and intel
leCtual record of each individual
could be set down from birth to
date l said, and referred to, just
like an abstract TO title in the case
of piece of real estate. Then, when
4 situation arose such as has just
confronted my young friend, all that
would he necessary would be to mail
or hand the young lady his card with
his clearing house number; and
then. if she found his record salts
factory, and was herself agreeably
inclined. she could return her card
and clearing house number to him,
and thus an acquaintance could be
established on a far more safe and
guarded basis than the present cas-
ual Vouching of friends for a pass
ing stranger; in other words, the
city or state would act as a sort of
official introducer, and at the same
time preserve the principle of nat
ural selection, while the fact that
records of the sort were kept would
undoubtedly tend to raise the gem
eral standard of conduct and be-
havior among young people.
AS | say. / made the suggestion
in "A jesting way, but I was really
surprised at the way it was taken
up and favorably commented upon
by group of the young fellows of
the establishment who were listening
to me. One of them said: 1 am
for it. 1t would be a sure and sim
pie way to protect society from the
vampires of both sexes
And speaking seriously, does not
the state really owe il to its young
people that they should have some
better method of meeting each other
than through uncensored introduc-
tions or by Irritation? And what is
more, it owes them better places
to associate with each other than the
streets and the dance halls; for, as
our cities have grown, there is an
increasing percentage of girls who
have suitable place to receive or
entertain their friends"
1t seems to me that the impor-
tance of this idea cannot be eXag-
gerated. Why would it not be feas-
ible for the municipality to put some
plan of this kind into effect, thus
giving it the status, i'm substance
and form, of governmental func-
ton, with a power and backing that
no institution such as a church. or
a neighborhood settlement, or any
other purely voluntary association of
citizens, could supply?
If the philanthropists in the big
cities could be interested in some
scheme of this sort, they might set
tie with one stroke many of the So
cial problems for which at present
there seems no answer.

do the thing at which you cannot
succeed just because you like the
crowd of people with whom your
fruitless efforts bring you in contact.
Do you start things you never in
tend to finish? Do you shirk n
chance to put real effort into your
work? Do YOU make promises to
yourself or others which you have
no real intention of keeping? Do
you avoid the tasks which might
make you bring new meaning to
your work? Do you resent having
an occasional extra burden placed
upon you? If you do any of these
things you are a gutter.
\ gutter is a man or woman who
starts wrong and refuses to start
over again, who starts and refuses to
make the effort to finish. or who is
too lazy ever to start at all.
Find out what kind of n quitter
you are and do the one piece of con-
structive quitting that is possible
quit being a gutter.

ILife'sProblems
Are Discussed

In an article written some week:
ago, | Jestingly said that it was q
pity there was not a clearing house
of hearts, where the matrimonial as
pirauons of young men and young
women could be met and liquidated.
That rather idle remark has
evoked a surprising and unexpected
response. have had many letters
from girls since-pathetic little let
ters. Here is an excerpt from one
of them:
Since coming to New York. over
two years ago, | have not met nor
had any opportunity to meet any
gentleman whom l would care to
have for a friend. l am twenty
three years old, and am making a
splendid salary. l am also consid-
cred pretty. But l have been so
lonesome in this great city that
have been tempted to suicide. There
fore it seems too bad, if as evinced
by your articles, there are scores of
honorable gentlemen just as lone
some as myself, that there could not
be some wey for us to get acquaint-
ed and perhaps find life more worth
living as Il result of these friend
ships"
Thi; is bit from another letter:
Il am a working girl. and l am
so lonely that l don't know what
TO do. 1 ~yish l could meet some
of those lonely Western men who
appreciate nice girl. | am deadly
sick of these city men, who only
think as badly of girls as they can"
And there are similar letters
from young men, who write of their
work and their salaries and their
longing to meet some nice girls.
Loneliness One of the
Tragedies of Youth
When you think of the thousands
of young people from Maine to Cali
tornia who pour into this great city
and take up their lives here without
friends or relatives. struggling on
alone, facing the hazards of sickness
or accident or want. longing as all
healthy young things long for
amusement and companionship, it is
to contemplate one of the tragedies
of youth.
My chance remark about the
clearing house of hearts brought out
letter from a woman who said
that she had lived in the underworld
for years and was now, as | gath
cred. helping in some settlement
work.
