Jim and l have often talked
over Harry's case" wrote Dick,
"but we did not see any way to
tell what a rotter he was making
of himself. Jim said He must
know that it is only matter OF
time before the whole thing will
be in the newspapers. Well just
have to stand by and do the best
we can
when it came out you girls
almost took the mother out of our
hands and you certainly did bet
ter job than any man in the world
would have done.
81 have often wondered IL Har-
ry ever thinks of it when he looks
at those boys. He showed him
self a man when he told the story
in the papers when he ran for
mayor. Strangely, I think 1t got
him more votes than IL he had
been the whitest of sheep.
II wish l could live to see these
twins work out. Bulge is like his
mother and whatever else she
lacked she did have great, low
ing heart and a splendid sense OF
justice. To-day, little beggar, has
the same responsibility of his
father. He will get into trouble
as sure as you are alive and his
winning manner will get him out
of 1t.
"Margie, I hope our COY will
have your sense Of justice, and
above all, your lack of curiosity
for that very curiosity has been
the reason why | have not always
been good to you or to myself.

ed that he did not love the mother
OF the twins, yet he thought
enough of her to furnish a home
for her, and Dicks manuscript
says both he and Jim had been
there. | wonder il any woman
could keep a secret like that.
The other day l heard of a
young woman, a friend of Mol
lies, who was laying up trouble
for herself by allowing married
man to make love to her. / said
to Mollie, you should tell her that
people are talking about her."
Much to my surprise Mollie said
that she knew nothing Of it and
that she could say nothing any
way. This is the first time in my
life that l have met a woman who
took a mans view Of such ques-
lions. Noble never referred to
the matter again tho at the time
she gave her reasons for not wish
ing to speak.
"Of course, Margie," she said,
you may think l am unfeeling,
but will you please tell me what
good l can do by speaking? You
have lived long enough to know
that IL a woman cares for a man
enough to give up her whole life
to him as you say Angie is doing,
she certainly would pay very lit
tie attention to me. | should only
make matters worse and succeed
in making her hate me.
'Margie, a question OF this sort
is one every woman must decide
for herself, but oh, how sorry ]
am for her IL she decides it as
Angie has. There is no man on
the face of the earth who is worth
it. Once upon a time you re-

DISCRETION A WOMAN'S OWN
PROBLEM

l wish Dick could know what a
great comfort his manuscript is
to me.
l love 1t, little book, | love
even his recapitulations of his
mistakes and his sins. l wonder
how long it takes a woman to
come to the conclusion that she
does not want a saint to- hus-
band.
Poor Kitty Malram Spencer
learned it very soon. Donna did
not learn it until after she had
married Bill the second time, and
l am beginning to understand that
I could never have cared for Dick
had he been the sort of man l
thought was my ideal.
l have come to think the great
est thing life holds is unexpected
ness. If we had not its sorrows
to break in upon its joys we would
even grow tired Of the pleasures
that bring happiness. When l
opened Dicks manuscript today I
found that he had referred to the
incident OF Eliene and the twins.
do you know, Margie, that at
the time when you and Eliene
took affairs into your own hands
and Eliene adopted Harry's twins,
l thought Harry a scoundrel and
a cad, altho l resented you girls
interfering in the nasty mess as
Jim Edie and l called it."
So Jim knew 1t all the time, lit
tie book! And he never let me
guess by so much as the culver
of an eyelash. Both Jim and
Dick had known of "the nasty
mess" before the mother died and
the twins were born and I'll
wager 1t did not strike them as
a nasty mess" then.

The mother of Hermann speaks high German.

The mother of Barney filings the barney,

The mother of Lou near the old Bayou,
Where the MOSES beard the oak;
Has a speech unlike the mother of Ike.
Who dwells with the Ghetto folk;
Tomasso's mother, and many another,
Have tongues which nimbly run.
And tho each from each they differ in speech,
In their motherhood they're one.
One in their AI-for-America motherhood
One in their love Of their boys of the brotherhood.
The mother of Clint just shows the hint.

The mother of Red" has aforetmes spread

Keep Smiling!
IAN Editorial by a Woman)

Keeping up the corners is woman's job
In war times it is especially her job to keep up
the corners of her lips-n a smile! ..-----,> go.
The eyes the windows of the soul; the lips
are the door-plate of the disposition
Lp-corners that turn upward speak the eternal
'Welcome'' of happy heart. Lp-comers that
turn downward whisper warning, "NO admit
lance. Beware the dog
Wise young men seeking wife are the men who
give the lips of their love good hard look-before
they kiss, or ask an answer to THE question of
love.
The time to look at womans lips is when she
doesn't know you are looking.
The years that bring the girl to womanhood have
set in the corners of her lips the record Of her
smiles and gentleness-or of her frowns, pouts,
obstinacy, and melancholy.
And now, in war times lips which always held
the sweet upward curve of smiles must guard it
carefully, lest the heartache and the sad thots that
follow absent lovers, sons brothers, and friends,
shall the beauty and courage soldiers re-
member.
And those whose fretful thOts have been record
ed in downward curves must start new record,
and in the beauty of sef-forgetfulness and the
pride and glory of service, must "turn the corner"
toward smiles.

Your Ticket

On the first day of your vacation when you are
negotiating with the U. S. railroad ticket seller for
piece of pasteboard emitting you to ride to lake,
mountain or other playground you will be asked to
pay more than you did last year to go to the same
place. The cost per mile will be cent higher,
at excursion rates. about 20 per cent than your
1917 ticket.
Don't jump at the conclusion that this is due to
government operation and would not have hap
pened had the roads remained in the hands of pri-
vate corporations. In the latter case, increased
rates would have been necessary or bankruptcy
would have followed. Railroad financiers knew
that when they turned their roads over to Uncle
Same
If the government retains control of the roads
after the war, rates sure to fall possibly to
lower level than before.
Several reasons combine to produce the higher
rate. The more important are:
Increased cost Of all materials particularly iron
Increased railway per
whom got more than 5000 under private operations
cent mile " ''''' "
Of these reasons the first and third will disap-
pear with the war, and the second will be wiped out
by the increased efficiency of employees honestly
paid for their effort.
In the meantime we can keep our vacation travel
cost down to normal or even lower level by choos-
ing playground nearer home. A vacation spent on
Bay Island farm costs little in fare and is produc-
tive of valuable results in health and food
The high cost of vacation trip tickets will per-
suade us to become better acquainted with folk
nearer home and they're every bit as interesting as
those living thousand miles farther.

Wilson Is Ri6ht

The president is absolutely right in advising con-
gress to take plenty Of time for enactng new war
tax law devoid of the nequities of the present legs
ation, and his plan to take the additional funds out
of incomes, profits and luxuries will have the
solid endorsement of the country.
Every patriotic American is with the president in
his view that the people will bear any tax burden
necessary, provided that the same are justly laid
The first peeling has hardly been taken Off the
abnormal incomes, profiteering and Injuries
The willingness of the common folks to serve
and sacrifice has been demonstrated in the Liberty
Loan and Red Cross campaigns.
The president makes bullseye when ne declares
that 1.-THE profitcering that cannot be got at by the
restraints of conscience and love of country can be
got at by taXation.'
Sound, sensible and just as to his general policy
of war taxation, President Wilson will undoubtedly
do his mghtest TO give the nation revenue legisla-
ton equitable and just in it's particulars.

ELVA.
A man who pays attention to
the fine points Of good form al
ways sees that the girl he takes
to a dance has partners for each
number. He tries to arrange tho
programs so that he may be with
her for dances fog which she
lacks partners. And he usually
looks her up between dances to
assure himself that there Is no
hitch in the program. But In
case he knows the girl Is pr'ovid-
ed with a partner he is not neces-
sarily ungentlemanly IL he does
not appear between dances. He
is quite rude, however, II he
knowingly leaves her unattended
and makes no effort to introduce
q partner to her. Men often fail
in this respect because they are
not Informed, rather than they
are willfully negligent.
