Your mother saw Stewart standing
in here in the freight with a girl.
His arm was about her and her head
was on his shoulder"
The color was slowly ebbing from
her cheeks, but she held her head
high.

proper background of a girl is her
home; thre are her people, there
her friends should be welcomed, and
there she should have the best times
her scant leisure will permit.
Fathers and mothers sin more
deeply against their daughters than
they realize, when through indif-
ference or ungraciousness to their
daughters friends, they drive the
girl to go somewhere else for her
little pleasure.
Half the tragedies that overtake
girls begin with this statement: II
began meeting him out, because l
couldn't see him at home"
This is even true of the girl whose
daily work and weekly pay envelope
help to keep the home going. The
mother works so hard all day long
that the added burden of fixing up
for company is the last straw.
She can no longer recall the temp
tations of her own youth, the strug-
gle of making both ends meet has
blunted her finer perceptions. She
has forgotten that life calls and
beckons from without, when those
within the home grow forgetful of
the claim of youth.
And sometimes the mother is not
at fault, she is willing to accept the
responsibility of "Mary's beau" or
the little group of friends who are
coming to the party" 1t is the
father who is oftener the offender;
father, who after his hard day feels
that quiet and slippers are his

want to marry you, l would not have
asked you to be my wife"

He hesitated, and when he spoke
it was with an effort, as if he had
suddenly determined to learn the
truth.

or is there some one else?"

tion was hardly louder than a whis-

She threw back her head and

ask you to marry them. But that 1;
not what 1 meant 1 want you tc

"As nobody seems to love me as
much as you do. it is ungallant OF
you to intimate that 1 have bestowed
my affection somewhere unasked,'
Dora teased. Come, Milton-you
and I have never been silly and sem
timental. We have prided ourselves
on this fact Let us not begin to be
foolish now. We have always been
good chums. Neither of us loves the
other madly. But have always un-
derstood that that kind of affection
is not essential to marriage. Mother
says it is not; so does father"
She had risen as if to end the dis
cussion, and now started toward the
door. But Milton followed her and

Dora Livingstone looked at Milton

you want to say to me?"
The man did not speak at once, but

brows knit.

challenged. What's the matter?

lips?"

daily problems.
This is especially true of. the
homes of our less prosperous citi-
zens; the struggle to keep things
going is so great that any extra
pound of pressure-in the way of
company-is not to be considered.
The already overworked mother
does not see how she can do any
thing more; the ruinous cost of
everything, the difficulty of receiv-
ing strangers in a home where
younger children keep things dis
ordered, too often absorb the moth
er's attention to the exclusion of the
claims of her grown-up daughters

The girl young, and full of the
quest of enjoyment, seeks her So
cial life outside of her home; moth

sequences to this unfortunate ar

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

In Washington. d. c., there is a
woman wise in her generation.
She is Mrs. Alexander E. Williams,
wife of lieutenant colonel in the
- United States army. She realized as
: soon as girls began to pour into the
National Capital to do war work for
the Government how necessary it
was for them to have real homes.
She planned for them not hall
bedrooms in which to snatch a few
hours necessary sleep before going
to work again, but genuine hearth
stones. Here around a big table
there would be good meals. with
talk and fun and girlish chatter
about 'the department" spring

again.
Out of her own pocket Mrs. Will
Jams financed this scheme; there
were seven houses in the beginning
by this time there are probably
more-and now they are all on a
paying basis.
In addition to managing the
houses Mrs. Williams has prevailed
on Washington people who could
spare the room to accept, on a fam
lily footing, about five hundred ad-
ditional girls. She accepted no Of
fers where the householders would
not agree to accept the war work
crs on this family basis.
In every case she secured refer
ences from the home towns. of the
girls, and of the hundreds who Sc
cured rooms only two were unable
to furnish vouchers of good conduct.
No Work More Patriotic
No more patriotic work could
have been undertaken than that of
finding houses for girls who are do
ing the clerical work of the country
at this time. For the plight of a
girl without a home is-that of a
mariner without a compass.
Not always do parents with
daughters realize the necessity of

and sleeps, not the place where she

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an
ounce of freezone.' This will cost
very little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn from ones

A few drops applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, can be
lifted out with the fingers without
pain.
This new way to rid ones feet OF
corns was introduced by a Cincin-

freezone is sticky it dries in a mo-
ment, and seems to simply shrivel
up the corn without infiaming or
