Europe Miss Peterson returned 10 her native
land and became the youngest prima donna
at the great Metropolitan and declared she

Then Billy Sunday opened his New York
revival campaign. and his managers sought
for singers to lead the great choir of hun
dreds of voices planned for the Billy Sun

When the call was sent out for volunteers
for the choir there appeared at the choir
masters office in the Tabernacle pretty
young woman, who said she would be glad
to sing as often as they wanted her. They
asked her name and she replied, Just May

That S the same name as that Of one OF our
great primo donnas - said the choirmaster.
He was speeehless when the volunteer re

Homer ROdeheaver, Billy Sundays man
Friday and the beautiful May Peterson,
who. according to Billy Sundays often
quoted sermons about the stage, IS one of
''Th Devil s Brats AS he has frequently
called all actresses.
Almost from the first time they fixed their
eyes upon each other, IN the midst of a re-
vival meeting, these two have been convinced
that they could never live without each
other. They tried for a long time to con
vince themselves their hearts were foolish
that it was just passing fancy. They tried
the plan of not seeing each Other-nOt even
writing. But it was no use. They decided
love must have its way.
And yet as Sunday would see it. no doubt
there are many reasons why they should
never marry each other.
'ROdey, as the evangelist affectiOnately
calls him, is, next to Sunday himself. the
principal factor in every Billy Sunday re-

highly successful star of that same stage
to which Billy Sunday usually refers as the
recruiting place for Hades.

Sunday says in his sermons. Will the prima

evangelist to change his mind about grand
opera for Rodey s sake Or Will ROdev'

Just a few years ago Miss Peterson was
a choir girl in a church at Oshkosh WiScou-.
sin. of which her father was the pastor The
members of the church had complimented
her upon the pretty way she sang hymns
ever since she joined her fathers choir, so
when she had saved three hundred dollars
she announced that she was going to big
city 10 study music.
She went to Chicago, where voice teacher
heard her, and advised her to go abroad,
saying that she evidently had enjoyed
ceptionally splendid training at home

Miss Peterson says Then he said hymn

The future prima donna went 70 Paris and
Rome, and studied with great teachers, all
of whom agreed that the hymns she sung
at home had been invaluable preliminary
training.

She said that while she was vainly trying
to persuade herself that she could be happy
without acknowledging to herself that she
really was in love with the trombone player
and that she d never, never marry him.
Now the engagement is formally announced

only way out of her dilemma she has found
is to embarrasS herself by doing what she

One of the strange things about the ro-

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. rLIzABErH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: If a girl
let's a boy kiss her goodnight every
night they are together, does he
think as much OF her as if she did
not? DOUBTFUL
Some boys would not care as much
for a girl who would allow herself to
be kissed everyE night without being
engaged. other boys care more for a
girls kisses THAI anything else and
so they love the girl until some one
else comes up they would rather
kiss.
Character and a pleasing, interest
ing personality are most necessary
to make and keep boy friends. I do
not advise kissing without engage
ment.
Dear Mrs Thompson: I am
young woman twenty-five years old.
I have been going with a young man
OF twenty-three for about two years.
| He, was indicted into military serv
| ice last February and is now in
| France. Before he went he told me
| that he loved me and wanted me to
tell him the same, but I refused to
at the time, because 1 did not want
| to be engaged to soldier. He writes
| to me regularly, but as tho were just
| a friend and not his sweetheart. He
never speaks Of love or engagement.
Do you think he has forgotten our
good old times and the love he used
|
me?
| I love him dearly. Should I tell
him SO in my next letter 1 have his
per mission to wear a service pin.
Should I wear it. not being engaged
to him? Al c.
| I do not believe the young man has
forgotten the good times you had to-
| gether. 1t is more probable that he
thinks or them great deal and
! cherishes them even more than you
RI n taA
that he told you of his love, 1 believe
he still does.
Do not write that you love him I'M
less he gives some indication that he
wants to hear it very much and that
| his love for you is still alive.
Wear the pin if you want to. but
usually they ere worn by wives
mothers, sisters and fiancees.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am in love
| with a young man who is now in
France. He loves me, too, altho we
weeks before he went to camp and
was sent over to France. He was no,
In camp long, but he writes to me
almost every day. Now he has been
away for eight weeks. 1 got a card
telling me that he had arrived safely
but have received no letter. 1t will
break my heart If he has met some

Since the government took over the
operation of the railroaas it is learn
ing many lessons connected with the
transportation business. After de-
lay of four years the interstate COM
merce commission has granted the Pc
tition of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad to retain posses
sion of it's steamship lines. When the
government acted in the role of prose-
ciItor it was insistent that all railroads
should surrender control of their
steamers. In many cases circumstances
were such that overhead charges and
other general expenses of the two
companies were increased. 1t has
now been decided that joint operation
of land and water systems is often
desirable, and the New Haven in
stance is case in point. If tie rail-
roads can be prevented Il ON ever
again becoming the football of poll
ticians as they once were we may see
them operated continuously on a
strict business basis. fair alike to the
owners and the paLr0us.

The bakers of the United States are
planning to endow a technical school
for the dissemination OF knowledge
important to bread makers. The
scheme will be launched at their
meeting in Chicago, this month.
They plan to raise s1,000,000 and
with it endow an institution to be
known as the American institute OF
baking, which shall have for its pur-
pose the gathering and dissemination
of all manner of practical, scientific
and technical knowledge of the bak-
ing industry and the various business
functions relating to it. There are in
the United States 5000 bakers who
use more than 60 barrels of flour per
month. = 1t is intended that these
shall constitute the backbone of the
proposed institute A board of gov
ernors, consisting of 100 of the lead
ing bakers distributed geographically
turnout the United States, has the
project in charge. There will be re-
search and testing laboratories and a
commercial bake shop. classes in bak-
ing technology, bacteriology, sales
manship, advertising, cost accounting
bakery management, and kindred
subjects.

In spite of our troubles, we all do
pretty well.
PEOPLE like a good baby better than

When a man marries he halves his
rights and doubles his duties.
To people past fifty. the idea of a

Some argufiers take a firm stand
when they ought to be moving on.
vegetarians are the only ones who
can break even with the meat shops.
Calling a restaurant a cafe, which

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
BY DOROTHY DIX
Worries Highest Paid Woman Wr1tsr.

When the Domestic Girl Loses OUT.
Love making can only flourish in a
congenial atmosphere, and the prac-
teal woman does not know how to
produce it. Neither has any man got
the requisite nerve to up and ask a
woman to marry him in cold blood.
He has to be gently and insiduously
worked up to the proper temperature,
and the common sense woman hasnt
that kind of sense in her repertoire.
Nor does the practical woman know
Row to jolly a man along. Instead of
telling him that he is the wonder of
the ages, she candidly calls his atten-
ton to his faults or shortcomings, and
points out his mistakes to him, than
which no woman can make a more ia
of man.
Another reason that the practical
common sense girl does not attract
men is because she stands too sturdily
on her own two little feet and when
a woman shows that she can stand
alone. the masculine tendency is to let
| her do it. Helplessness in a woman
| is the one quality that appeals most to
| a man. That is why the floppy dish
! rag woman can marry early, and as
often as necessity demands.
A man always pictures himself as a

he is protecting and supporting a
clinging little thing. 1t tickles his
vanity and makes him feel about seven
| feet high, and as wise as Solomon for
girl to ask him what he thinks about
everything, and defer to his Judgment
| and that is why the less sense a wo-
| man has the better she can marry, and
the. less useful she is to her husband
the more he does for her. And it is
al where the practical, common
| sense girl loses out.

her time in adjoining herself, instead
of to the practical common sense girl
who devotes herself to useful
domestic occupation. is to be explain
