you've ever heard the magic of her

These people haven. time to get
Clo they are too busy thinking and
working at important things-they
let the years take care of them
selves.
If you would be young and haven't
vital and consuming interest, its
up to you" to create one. The war.
with it's countless opportunities for
work, has been a godsend t. the type
l am going to call the mummified
woman.
The mummified woman is to be
found in all classes Of society. The
influences that control fer life are
always material. Her world is
thrown out of gear if tie silver
cant be cleaned on Wednesday, if
that happens to he silV cleaning

able to come. it is a tragedy. If the
department store has no more ma

In her soul that woman is as old

interest in life above some foolish
material thing, that she'd be better
off without. Sofa pillows, lamp
shades, bargain-something not
really needed-ice cream soda, cards,
bridge, movies and a petty rivalry In
getting ahead of some other woman.
She never thinks her brain is the or
gan above which she pins her hat.
The mummifed woman seldom
cares about children-if she did they
would keep away that slow drying
up process. Usually she lives in a
fiat which reduces her housework to
a minimum.
And her family consists of a cou-
pic of plants. a Victrola and a ca
nary, sometimes the canary is varied
by dog. More often than rot there
is a mummfied husband in the back
ground. and he too. has his dry-as-
dust little interests.
Now the great world war has laid
its grip on that family and shaken
them out of that slow process of
evaporation that was desicating them
body and soul. 1t has given her
something to do, something to think
about besides the iniquitias ot the

Advice to the LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
They Are Selfish

They Are Selfish
Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am in love with a young man,
and there is no doubt as to the sin
cerity of his love for me. The bar
rier to our marriage is the fact that
his people are not anxious to see
him marry, as they hate to see him
leave them. He is urging me to
we'd him without their consent
What would you advise NJ. c. S. s.
This mans parents, as YOU de-
scribe them, are selfish and self
centered. Most parents nate to see
their children leave the home nest
but most parents conquer their
own feelings ! They once upon a
time wanted a home OF their own
and now they should realize the
right of their children to have an
individual existence, too. If only a
selfish unwillingness to part with
their boy stands between you and
the man you love, then ] think you
two young people have a right not
only to take Your happiness and to
force your elders to a more generous
attitude OF cceptance-but to com
pei them to recognize your rights
il generously, or not.

work. it brings her in contact with
| other women, who help to bring
| something into her life. But when
a woman of this type decides to take
job it makes her over.
A Startling Change
l know several such women and
the change in them is startling. One
in particular who has taken place
with the Food Admin st ration, where
she gets a salary of SS5 a month
and with it new lease of life.
She was the most mummified per-
! son l have ever known. She kept
| house neatly and well. but there was
not enough to keep her busy more
than few hours, the rest of the
time she spent in drying up.
She and her husband had a simple
breakfast at eight, and ne departed
not to return until $50 o'clock. Then
they sat down to a silent dinner, not
because they were mad" but be-
cause there was nothing TO talk
about. She did" the dishes and he
smoked and their day was done.
Her husband was fond of her in
his dull. dry way. He accepted her
as part of the fiat furniture. In
the scheme of things she occupied a
place higher than the diningroom
table that held the meals, or the
steamheat pipes that kept the place
warm, because she saw to and ad-
mnistered these things.
They might have gone on like this
for years, but one day she heard
patriotic speech that stirred her as
nothing had stirred her for years.
and she went out and got that Gov
erument job.
This gave her husband a terrible
Jolt The little, dull wife had her
place in the world. the United States
Government had decided she was
worth $S5 a month.
Nettie's Value to the Country
1t was incredible, but Nette was
worth something besides going to
market, cooking the dinner and
making the stew now that the price
of steak had gone up so high. He
polished his glasses and began to
regard her with fresh eyes. She
was only thirty-siX, after all-and
not bad-looking. So he began walk
ing to her office with her in the
morning and sometimes bringing
home a bunch of violets at night.
The maid they have in to cook
the dinner is not as good cook as
Nettie-but what's the difference?
That particular husband mas begun
to show some of the attentions of
their courting days-he's not so sure
of Nettie as he was.

Little Talks by
! Beatrice Fairfax

How old are your" might have
been the title of an amusing comedy,
enacted at the special Congressional
election in New YORK, when women
voted.
This inquiry was put to a tall,
slim, boyish-looking woman-one of
the keen. live-wire type. without a
moments hesitation she answered:
Forty nine"
She was informed this WAS no oc-
cesion for jocuiari;y. and serious
consequence might ems lie if she err
sisted in merrymakiEg. The lady,
with an air of Il expected this.
oTened her handbag aud produced a
marriage license, setting forth that
she had been married twenty eight
years and that she was twenty one
az the time of the ceremony.
The men looked foolish. and the
slender one, with an al os havins
insured herself against masculine
stupidity. went on with her business
os citizenship and departed.
Another woman with n triple chin,
sGortness of breaSh AMI a general
air of limpness who had got wind OF
the comedy nearly contracted apo
JleNy in running down the girlish
fprty-niner. How 40 you d. it?"
she gasped.
And the lady who had held the
clock back twenty years answered
briefly: Interest and fresh air
