titude toward her might do in the
way of creating an attitude" toward
you?
Did you ever imagine what might
be going on in her brain? Suppose
she had been saying to herself:
Henry thinks 1 am wicked, evil.
But he married me, anyway. He
doesn't see any good in me-but he
wanted me in his life. He tells me
to resist temptation-but he could
not resist me; and I must have SEEM
ed to him like the worst sort of
temptation
That is a natural reaction, and 1t
does one of two things or both: 1t
makes the poor sinner wonder If sin
is not attractive to most people, and
il shows her that the man who is
setting himself up as a model feels
the lure of evil-and then why shall
she strive so hard to conquer what
is irresistible?
I grant that the woman who was
tude. but it is terribly difficult for
human nature to perform to order,
and when a man spends his days
telling a woman how grateful she
ought to be to him for his kindly
condescension in marrying her the
very appreciation that might well up
from her heart like a sweet spring,
were it not forced, flows along as
artificially and sluggishly as a canal,
just because it is made to order like
the canal.
Here is a quotation from great
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-18

Englishman who expresses this view
very beautifully:
Perhaps We should have got on
faster still If we had reserved our in
dignation for the right things-self-
satisfaction. complacency, injustice,
cruelty"
The poor little wife who yielded
weakly to her ugly temptations may
never have been guilty of one of
these things-which are the supreme
sins of life.
Even though you forgave her for
her past guilt. she had still to en-
dure in her own weakened soul many
of the consequences of evildoing.
And not by sitting in judgment on
her, nor by lecturing her. nor by
condescending to her, were you really
able to help her. Love, sympathy,
understanding and a belief in the
good in her would have helped her
to develop that good.
You have failed her as pathetical-
ly as she failed the good that was
in her poor. twisted, weak nature.
Recognize that-come to see that
not in preaching condescension, but
in warm, sympathetic understanding,
lies real liberation.
For the Greatest Teacher has said:
Neither do l condemn thee. Go
thou and sin no more"
The tolerance that helps is this toll
erance that can love a sinner while
hating the sin, and that gives the
sinner" beliefe in the path to right
eousness instead of reminders of the
road to evil.

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax
DEAR MISS FAIRFAy.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Is there anything in the world that
looks to you like unforgivable sin?
Or do you insist on posing as one of
those people who see good in every
thing?' l married a woman with a
bad record. 1 forgave her. l tried to
help her and l talked to her as a
mother might. But was she content
ed to stay in our little home and
try to learn goodness from me? Not
she! Pleasure and worldliness meant
so much to her that she had to go
chasing back to the bright lights.
had been tolerant and forgiving,
but now 1 see that a man is fool
to trust a woman who has once gone
wrong or to think he can show her
what is right and good. Now l chal-
lenge you to find one word to say
for this woman who failed in graft
tude toward the man who tried to
uplift her.

Copyright, 1918, Star Company.
The waiter, standing at discreet
distance, yawned and gazed resent
fully at the corner table at which
sat the elderly gentleman and young
girl. Such people as these, he mused,
were a dead loss. They came qosten-
sibly to eat and drink, but remained
talking for an hour, never consider
ing the poor man who must wait
upon their convenience. When peo-
pie ate a good many dollars worth,
they tipped in proportion. That was
a different matter.
The girl certainly was pretty, but
she was much paler than when she
had entered the restaurant. What
could her father be telling her that
interested, yet seemed to startle her
so?
stephen Livingstone" Darius
Blake was saying at that moment,
had no thought of defrauding your
mother. He did not call it that, even
to himself. Doubtless he justified
himself in what he did. The fact re-
mains that if your mother had held
fast to her share of the land in
herited from her parents-as she
wanted to do at first-instead of
selling it to her brother. as he urged
her to do, she would have died as
rich as that brother Stephen Living
stone, became.
your father told me the whole
story soon after your mothers death.

Commerce Chamber Again
Appeals For War Gardens

The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce, through it's supervisor of
garden plots, to-day made another
strong appeal to enlist schoolchildren
in war garden work. A communica-
tion showing how very important
this matter is considered by the
head of the nation was sent to each
principal of a school-Stevens, Ver-
non, Forney, Lincoln, Woodward,
Downey, Allison, Foose, Webster,
Shimmell, Harris, PaXtang, Melrose,
Boas, Willard, Calder, Cameron,
Steele, Hamilton, Day, Penn, Camp
Curtin, Maclay,. Reilly, Verbeke and
Wickersham.
President Wilson makes it plain
in this letter sent to every principal
that volunteers for war garden in
dustry between the ages of 8 and 16
will be just as patriotic as those
building ships or firing cannon. The
Chamber of Commerce representa-
tive adds in the communications:
II hope that this spring every
school will have a regiment of vol
unteer war gardeners. Will you
kindly announce this to your school
and ask all who want war gardens
to give you their names and you in
turn hand them to the supervisor in

The Way Out

When we were asked to save the
agreed that sugar must be saved.
Somebody must save it; it was the
job of the cook, the baker or the
mother of the house. 1t wasn't in our
line.
Then came this word: LESS sweet
drinks and candy containing sugar
should be used in wartime. AS a na-
tion we have twice as much sugar as
we need"
This made it more or less a per-
sonal matter to each of us, and it
put upon us a responsibility under
which we squirmed a bit. How can
we satisfy our perfectly normal crav-
ing for sweets and still Save the
sugar."
We can satisfy it with candy. but
not with all kinds of candy; just
those which contain a minimum
amount of sugar.
But it is a real sacrifice to confine
your use of confectionery to the
sugar saving varieties described be-
low?
Among them are the chocolate
covered nuts and fruits, the uncoated
candies, such as nougatines, the de-
licious Turkish pastes and candies of
that variety, as we'll as all the choco-
late you want.
The second group includes hard
boiled candies" such as lemon drops,
stick candy, fruit tablets, peanut
| bars, peanut brittle, glace nuts and
the like. In this group may also be
placed molasses candies such as taf-
fies and kisses.
Marshmallows and similar candies
comprise the third group. They may
be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in
chocolate, rolled in coconut and in

In the fourth group are included
gum drops, jellies, jelly beans and

This isn't much of a hardship, is
it? But if we keep within the limits

WOULDN'T LEND HIS LADDERS

Once a neighbor told me he
would be willing to lend anything
around his farm rather than his
farm ladders. wondered just
what he meant, but now I know.
The other day another neighbor
fired up new stove, in chimney
that had stood idle for some time,
and in few minutes chimney, roof
and rafters were tumbling in a
mass Of seething flame and not a
ladder nearer than d half mile that
l knew Of, and no way to get to the
roof with bucket of water quickly
and safely. Had there been a good
ladder Or two stored nearby in the
barn, we who rushed to the scene
could have controlled the fire and

Next time among his priced pos
sessions there will be an insurance
policy and two good ladders.

they either forced open window or
had keys that opened the front door.
The suits were taken from a large
clothes cabinet and were not miss
ed until perhaps day or so after
the theft. The thieves had left no
evidence Of their visit to arouse any
suspicion until an investigation of
the stock of clothing was made. =
