1t is not, however, a circumstance
which will greatly appeal to Prince
Charming. You have. because OF
your busy and practical life, been
forced to create a sort of ideal
world for yourself. You have cul-
tivated your imagination-a great
solace and a great danger-and,
take it, you have not known many
Prince Charmings.
Far be it from me to belittle
Prince Charming. He is an ideal
companion for a summers day. He
adds enormously to the color and
gayety of the world. But it is cruel
to bind on his gypsy shoulders the
stern bread-and- butter responsible
ties of married life.
HE is tickle as glimmers of star
light that shine
On the waves of the rivers OF
dream.
His heart is unstable as wings that
are lift
Where the dragon flies drift.
His heart is as wings that turn,
dartle and fit,
And his lives are as swift"
These brilliant, fascinating men
do have a little way of forgetting
TO order the necessary Hour and

Der that bills must be paid. Con-

pipes burst, and the cook departs

you want?
For a man who possesses those
qualifications has others which you
have not enumerated - which per-
haps you have not discerned. It is
rash to be dead sure that other
people are not our intellectual or
spiritual equal. There are usual

A tired smile lit up the shadows

She nodded. and turned to go to
the cabin. He watched for a

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED
BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW

Among my various correspond
ents is a very clever young woman
who prefers to remain incognito.
She signs herself. Miss Twenty
Seven" and she always offers me
some psychological nut to crack.
This is her latest communications:
Dear Mrs. Woodrow am Miss
Twenty Seven and am taking the
liberty of writing you again. l want
to ask you a question, and am al
most certain your answer to it will
be, 1t is a matter for you to decide
personally But l think 1 need a
little outside help, not saying, of
course, that l will not follow my
own inclinations. Still, your views
may change my attitude.
The son OF some old family
friends wishes to marry me. He
is fairly good to look upon, though
by no means handsome. Intellec-
tually he is not my equal. He has
nc ideals. He is kind and gen.
erous; his character is good; he
has no bad habits. He has an eX-
cellent income, a fine car, and he
would give me clothes anG Jewels
and be good to me. He is a faitn-
full plodder, but is not awake to
the real beauties of life. l doubt
if he could ever be awakened, as
he has not been reared in an en-
Nironment that would foster such
growth. If 1 married him 1 would
have comforts and a home, a good
husband and, no doubt, children.
My friends and family tell me
that good catches are hard to find,
that men are getting scarcer, and
that 1 am getting older, and that
ideals are never realized, but he is
nothing life what 1 had dreamed
of. l had looked for companion
ship. l doubt is he would ever
know what love means. And I had
hoped for a loving husband and
have always said that 1 would re-
main single if l did not find my
Prince Charming. But deep down
in my heart 1 feel that 1 could
never he happy if 1 remained sim
gle. 1 want more, too. You will
say that no one gets everything,
but just what is it that should be
sacrificed?
II am in business, and am up
holding a very pretty and COM
Portable apartment for my parents.
And while 1 cannot say they have
the luXuries, they at least have the
comforts of life. Father has not
worked for years, and is now an
invalid. Mother is the type of wo-
man that would shine in a multitude
but owing to financial conditions she

from the snow. The wonder of it
drew the eyes of the young man for
a moment toward the hills,
tumult of joy flooded his veins.
The girl who held in her soft hands
the happiness of his life stood look
ing at him. 1t seemed to him that
she was the core of all that lovely
tide of radiance. He moved toward
her and looked down into the
trench where she waited. Swiftly he
kicked off his snowshoes and leaped
down beside her.
The gleam of tears was in her
eyes as she held out both hands to
him. During the long look they
gave each other something wonder
full TO both of them was born into
the world.
When he tried to speak his hoarse
voice broke. "Sheba-little Sheba!
Safe, after all. Thank God, you
you" He swallowed the lump in
his throat and tried again. IF you
knew-God. how 1 have suffered! I
was afraid dared not let myself
think"
A live pulse beat in her white
throat. The tears brimmed over
Then, somehow she was in his arms
weeping. Her eyes slowly turned to
his, and he met the touch of her
surrendered lips.
Nature had brought them together
by one of her resistless and unpre-
meditated impulses.
A stress of emotion had swept
her into his arms Now she drew
away from him shyly. The con-
ventions in which she had been
brought up asserted themselves. An
absurd little fear obtruded itself in
to her happiness. Had she rushed
into his arms like a lovesick girl,
taking it for granted that he cared
for her?
"You-came to look for us?" she
asked, with the little shy stiffness of
embarrassment.
For you-yes."
He could not take his eyes from
her. 1t seemed to him that a bird
was singing in his heart the glad
ness he could not express. He had

1t was the only thing to be done.
Elliot broke camp and packed the
sled. Upon the load he put his COM
panion, we'll wrapped up in furs.
Two miles up the road Gordon
stopped his team sharply. He had
turned a bed in the trail and had
come upon an empty stage buried in
the snow.

most in Elliot's mind for twenty
four hours clutched at his throat

Gordon dropped the gee-pole and
started on the instant. Eagerness,
anxiety, dread, fought in his heart.
He knew that any moment now he
might stumble upon the evidence
of the sad story which is repeated in
Alaska many times every winter. 1t
rang in him like a bell that where
tough, hardy miners succumbed a
frail girl would have small chance.
He cut across over the hill toward

in the Arctic during very cold wea-
ther. Had Sheba found safety

CITE AMERICANS

U. $. Men With French In fiict Heavy Casualties
 With No Losses.

With the American Army in France, Sunday, July 21-(By the Associated Press) - American troops in the raid into the German lines in the Nosges on Friday night inflicted 150 casualties on the enemy and suf- fered virtually none themselves. The German prisoners declare they had been receiving bad food and poor ammunition.
 Six officers and 16 men have been commended in French and American orders for conspicuous bravery in the preparation and execution" of a raid in the Vosges recently. This raid was preceded by a half hours artil- lery preparation. Two hundred Americans, including 32 band men as stretcher bearers, penetrated 800 yards into the German trenches and inflicted nearly 100 casualties. They also took seven prisonrs from crack Uhlan troops sent into the line sev- aral days before to make a raid on the American trenches. The Ameri- cans anticipated the German plan by only 2 few hours and occupied only 45 minutes.

His life and money were undoubt- edly saved by the occupants of large touring car which was following close lbehind the jitney in the vicinity of Stony Hill, as the man had no time to rob his victim before the powerful machine was alongside.
 The gunman, seeing that the larger machine was full of men, did not wait second time as he had treatened to do, or to rob his victim but jumped from the uncontrolled jitney and dis appeared into the undergrowth near the road.
 Vesnfk, who was unconscious from pain and loss of blood, had put on the brakes almost instinctively when the first shot hit him, was lifted from the wheel of the jitney and trans ferred to the powerful touring car which rushed him to St. Vincent's hos pital. Some of the occupants of the i big car remained behind to look af- ter the jitney and to form a posse with the sheriff in an endeavor to TUT down the desperado.
 When Vesnik was made as com- fortnble as p1ssitle at the hospital he stated that his assailant had charter 1 ed his car on Main street in front ot the Lyric theatre and made a bargain with him to drive him to Danbury The price agreed upon was $4.

AIRPLANES WORTH 6 MILLIONS HAD TO BE 'jUNKED'
Responsibility for Delay In / U. s. Production Placed
 on Aircraft Board.

Washington, July P - Waste of millions of dollars in experimenting with the English Bristol and other types of aeroplanes will be reported to Congress by the Senate military subcommittee investigating aircraft production, members of the commit tee said today in announcing that their report now is being drafted.
 Other findings of the committee, said Senator Thomas, the chairman. and some members. will be that 1.290 training planes costing $6.O00,O00 re- gently were "junked" because they were regarded as too dangerous for use: that several aviators have been killed in flights with dans<-ous types of planes; and that amateurs in the engineering and administrative sec tions have contributed to the delay in production.
 Responsibility for part of the pro- duction delay was placed by commit teemen on the former aircraft pro- duction board.
 All members of the committee were agreed that the Liberty motor is a complete success. It is too heavy for the Bristol plane, senators said, and that type. so successful in Great Britain, has been abandoned by the war department.

BRITISH ADVANCE NEAR HEBUTERNE

London, July 22-Further ground has been gained by the British ir the Hebuterne region, on the front between Albert and Arras, the wa. office announced today. The British likewise, in conjunction with the French, carried out a successful en- terprise to the south of Villers Bre- tonneux, east of Amiens, in which prisoners were taken.
 The German trenches were entered during the night by British raiding parties at several points on the front, including Neuville Vitasse and north of Beilleul, and prisoners were taken.
 On every front the Germans are re- sisting desperately and are making violent counter attacks. Neverthe- less the French troops yesterday made progress along the river Masne to a maximum depth of eight miles.
 The object of the enemy counter at- tack probably is to expedite the ex- ct between Soissons and Rheims. Meanwhile German troops in southern end of the pocket must be undergoing great difficulty in getting supplies.
 Southwest of Rheims there has been heavy fighting and the French have made progress.
 Between the Ourcq and the Marne myers the French yesterday took 400 prisoners.

The Germans are stubOrnly resist ing the French crossing of the Marne, but the French have succeeded in get ting two elements over at Mezy and Courcselles, which are constructing foot bridges under heavy fire. The Germans are using gas shells in large numbers.
 Owing to faulty working of the tele- graph line between Paris and London news of the French advance up to S:30 o'clock last night is not very de- tailed. IL is learned however, that the French line now runs from Breny along the main Chateau Thierry road to ROcourt and then through Le Charme and Epieds to the Marne at Charteves.
 Between the Ourcq and the Aisne the Germans again are making vio- 1 lent counter attacks, but the French | are maintaining their lines.
