THE HEART OF A MAN.

Let's not unman each other-part at All farewells should be sudden, when l forever,
 Else they make an eternity of mo- l ments
 | And clog the last sad sands or nIe with tears"
 Who can attempt to understand the heart of a man? Even the mother
 that bore him cannot plumb its depths'
 or gauge it's capacity for different af- fections. Just the girl his mother thinks he should be interested in he is entirely indifferent to. The woman who does appeal to him is the last one on earth whom his friends think he could care for This is conclusive
 proof that no one can select a heart
 mate for another with any degree of certainty that each will be entirely
 suited.
 Men are different from women. They
 seldom make love a study The ma
 jority of romantic women have their
 day dreams, and have concluded just
 what sort of a man will suit them
 They have little or no trouble in real
 izing it when a man of this kind who
 fills the bill comes along. Love is to
 man a thing apart. He is too busy
 getting his bread and butter to waste
 time in conjuring up the style of girl
 he likes best. He doesn't think of that
 part of it. He leaves it to fate, for
 tune or the good fairies that are sup
 posed to govern love affairs. Ten to
 one it's the woman with whom he is
 L -k ~Ir~ tI1 Hy~c$ impression upon his untutored heart. It depends very much upon the ciev- erness of the woman as to whether she will turn the tide of his liking into friendship or affection. Mans heart is as impressionable as a baby's. Many of them merely need the intimation
 that their hearts have gone out to particular girl to actually believe it. For as a man thinketh, so it is. It does not take words for clever girl to cause a man to think that she be- lieves he is in love.
 l. A clever girl once said to a young man in whom she was interested and who called by fits and starts, Some how I expected you here this evening. You came into my thoughts very much during the day. That is said to mean that you were thinking of me-" He chanced to see a girl who resembled here while on his way to business that morning. That caused him to remem- Der her. His presence there that eve- ming was the impulse that came to him to step in as he was passing. She actually made him believe there was more to his resolve than he had iIn- agined. He pondered so long and se- riously over that remark that he came to believe they, must be intended for each other She had played upon the right strings of that particular mans hea-i. Every man is capable of low ing. if the chord is touched by the right woman.

jed by side-closing trousers and has the front and back cut in two sec- tions which are joined under the belt. The upper sections are tucked in slot seam effect and attached to a square shoulder yoke. A round, turn-down collar finishes the neck. The sleeves have two seams and are plain at the wrists except for two buttons of self material.
 For a boy of eight years the suit requires 21a yards 54-inch serge. There are many pieces to the pattern, 50 that it will be necessary for tho home sewer to study the guide care fully in order to have them arranged perfectly. This is necessary for econ omy of material as we'll as for the appearance of the suit.
 First the serge is folded in half. The lower and upper back of the coat are placed on a lengthwise fold of material. Then comes the back, with single large "O' perforations on a lengthwise thread Next, in the or der named, are laid the yoke, collar and wristbands (C and D) with tho belt last.
 In the row above are placed the up- per and lower front of the jacket, the upper sleeve section, pockets, yoke, lape and fly of trousers. All of these sections are laid on the serge so that their large 'tO' perforations rest on a lengthwise thread.
 The upper row contains the under facing, the lower sleeve section and the front of the trousers, all laid with the large "Oo perforations on a lengthwise, thread of the serge.
 Bone buttons may be substituted for those of self f-material, if desired. There is very little difference in the cost however, especially if the self buttons have to be made by someone making a speciality of such work.

ARE HOMELY GIRLS
 UNCARED FOR?

Z . [ 4 B. E. writes: T want to ask you i this: Are homely girls uncared for? I am 20 and positively homely. When IT go to parties where number of girls go together, young men who go there without taking some one are on hand to see the other girls home, but no one ever steps up to me, and many

 would have had to go home alone if
 some couple going my way had not
 noticed my plight and asked me to go along with them. Dear Miss Libbey, what is the matter? Why can I not
 make myself as attractive to the young men of our town as the other girls do?''
 Do you not think --s- difficulty lies
 more or less with yourself? Few if amy young girls are positively homely. Perhaps you do not wear your hair be- con1ingly, in style that suits your. face. Your dresses may not be made in ,girlish style. Study those two suggestions carefully If pretty girls
 were the only ones that won hearts and became wives. three-fourths of i the world of marrie1 men would be l.wifeless. When a man falls in love, 1 the idol of his heart looks beautiful lin his eyes no matter how homely she appears to others. Be natural, pleas ant and let your lips wear al smile as you greet your friends. Make a study ] of yourself and you will soon be able l 10 remedy what you now consider de- fects

CHAPTER XVI. You Are-Myseif!"

 0 ND as had planned then ac-
 Lightfoot at pasture, and I
 quickly had placed the saddle upon him and had turned him down the mountain to choose safe path for both himself and me. I did not look upon those cradles of fragrant boughs in which the boy Robert had lain at rest beside his great friend, the Gou- verneur Faulkner, from whom he had stolen faith and affection.
 rWhy did not you also steal his pocketbook as he lay asleep beside you, Roberta, marquise of Greg and Bye?" questioned myself, with scorn and torture, as good Lightfoot crashed down from that Camp Heaven into the dark night.
 And on we rode, the large horse with the woman upon his back. for a lohg night, through fragrant thickets that caught at my riding brooches with rose tendril fingers and under thick forests of budding trees, through whose branches of tender leaves the wise old stars looked down upon my hitter weeping with nothing of com fort, perhaps because they had grown of a hardness of heart from having seen so many tears of women drop in the silence of 8 lonely night.
 Then came dawn and noon and a twilight, through which I pushed forward the large horse with great cruelty, only pausing beside streams to allow that he drink of the water and also to throw myself down on my face and lap the cool refreshment like

Intolerance
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Craaol


We have a pretty big case of con-
science on in the United States. The
overwhelming sentiment OF the country
has forced Us into war Congress has
declared it. II is the duty of all Amer
leans TO stand by the expressed will Of
their representatives, each to do what he
can to insure his countrys success.
But there is large number of people
who were opposed to our taking arms,
and who conscientiously believe that our
difficulty with Germany might have been
better settled some other way.
To call these people names, to accuse
them of being Germanophiles, or trait
ors, or enemies to their country, to give
the word ''pacitist' a sneering twist, as
tho all who strive for peace do so be-
cause they are cowardly. this is not only
intolerance, but cheap and nasty intol-
erance.
l am pacifst, and shall be proud TO
wear the title to my dying day. / be-
heve that war is colossal stupidity, the
result Of the great illusion" under
which the backward minded govern
ments Of the nations rest.
| favor our going TO war with Ger
many, however, because in the present
crisis there is no other way out for US.
Any government is criminal that does
not protect its citizens to the limit Of
its powers.
Furthermore, the irresistible logic Of
events shows plainly that no peace In
possible with government like the pres
ent one of Germany, which substitutes
self-interest for humanity and morals,
except its destruction | am for war
with Germany precisely as would favor
shooting a mad dog or catching a bur
glar.
But this does not at al mean that my
opinion of national militarism has
changed. All thru this war we ought TO
be getting ready for permanent peace.
We ought to line up with the allies with
the constant intention Of forming with
them a League of Peace, the beginnings
Of civilized world government, when
we have settled with the disturber Of the
peace. When we get thru with this ter
rife struggle BELIEVE the democracies
Of the world viii be in the saddle, and
we can take steps toward general dis
armament II Russia, France, England
and America win stand together after
the war we can rid the earth of its aw-
full incubus of ornaments. We can then
have n preparedness by mutual agree
ment, which is a million times cheaper
than preparedness by arming each ma
ton TO the limit
But there are many Of my fellow pa
cifsts who do not follow me. They are
rs loyal az l. They are entitled to their
opinion. This Is a free country, even In
war time. 1t Is no place for violent In
tolerance.
