HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I became en-
gagged to n young man before he went
to France. 1 didn't want to become
engaged when he asked me to marry
him, but he begged me to and said he
would be aMe to leave with a much
better feeling We had been friends
for a long time and in all our ac-
uuaintance 1 had never thought 1
could love him.
When l became engaged l thought
that l was doing my bit. 1t seemed
such a shame to let a dear friend go
across. feeling that he had no one
back home who loved him.
We correspondent for a while and
then he stopped writing. I worried
terribly and wrote to Washington to
see if he had been killed, but there
was no report of 1t. The strange thing
is that after he went away 1 found 1
loved him more than 1 had ever
known.
Now he has returned. He did not
tell me that he was coming and he
has not been to see me since he got
back. / have heard from friends that
he fell in love with a Y. w. girl when
he was over there. He talks about
her all the time.
When we meet on the street he
speaks to me, but does not act as II
We were engaged. II
am heartbroken and want to win
back his love. Shall 1 write him a
letter? Please advise me how l can
make him explain his actions.
HEART BROKEN.
You have made yourself think that
you are in love with the young man,
when in reality you are not. During
his absence you built an ideal around
him and you are in love with that
ideal \
He is acting in a most ungentle-
manly way. If l were you 1 would
let him go and appear to be indiffer-
ent to an explanation. Probably the
rumor about the Y. w. girl is true
and he is afraid to tell you. No mat
ter what his reason for changing his
mind in regard to you, he should talk
the matter over with you. The fact
that he does not proves that he is a
coward. Forget him and look for a
more satisfactory friend. =
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Is there any
chance for a girl to be nurse before
she is Is years old? l am 16 and al
ways wanted to be a nurse.
NELLIE.
A girl cannot be trained nurse I'M
less she is a high school graduate
Go on with school work and when you
have graduated from high school &C
into a hospital training school.

THE BLACK SHEEP.

He was our black sheep once. So long ago
That many here don't know the slip he
made,
An wonder why in town he's sllus
stayed,
An seemed contented Just to tinker round
The house an till little patch o. ground,
When he could hold his own in any race.
An use his talents in bigger place.
When he was younger so he used to think.
He was cut out in greater depths to
swim,
He'd know the world an travel to its ends.
He'd have rich men, not simple folks, for
friends.
We pleaded with him here to be content,
He called us boobs an sneered at US back
home,
Told all his city friends our customs
queer,
An at our ways an habits used to jeer.
Made us his laughin' stock, until the day
He stole to meet some bills he couldn't
Then for a friend in vain he looked
about,
An one Of Us went down an baiIed him
ont.
We paid his bills an got him squared
An bfcught him home to start his life
again,
An here he's lived an washed away the
stain.
Here all has been forgiven an forgot.

/, One of the outstanding features of
the treaty of peace is the immense ac-
cretions of territory that the British
Empire is to receive under its terms.
Few people realize, perhaps, the tre-
mendous extent of the dominions of
, the English crown. With the British
isles as a nucleus, comprising an area
OF about 10000 square miles, the
Z English government started on a pol
icy OF expansion about the middle of
the eighteenth century. For over a
Z hundred and fifty years the policy has
been steadily pursued until, at the be-
r ginning OF the war, the empire includ-
Ed the enormous area, of 13,153,712
square miles. Exclusive of the polar
regions. this represents almost exactly
one-quarter~ of the total land area OF
A-the whole world. BY the terms OF
the peace treaty the British empire is
10 be given the directing influence al
.tpnce over sO3,oS0 square miles of ad-
ditional territory and, in all probable
tty, will also get large slice If not all
esbf the 224,s30 square miles that re-
sinain to be distributed. 1t Is safe tc
say that 100000 square miles of the
earth's surface will be added to the
salready tremendously swollen holdings
of the British empire It is true that

An Anchor to the windward.-1.

An Anchor to the Windward.-1.
The most helpless, the most for
iorn, the most pitiful figure in the
world is that of the middle aged, do
mestic woman who has never earned
a dollar in her life, and who is sud
denly confronted with the necessity
of supporting herself, and perhaps
house full of children.
She is skilled in no trade or art.
She has been taught no profession
and she is too old to acquire dexterity
and proficiency in any new line OF
occupation. She is mentally and
physically too stiff in the joints to
compete with girls of eighteen and
twenty.
l. They want pretty. bright, alert,
cheerful, young women as typists IN
offices. and behind the counters in
shops, not old tired saddened women,
Nowhere is there any opening for the
woman of middle age UNLESS she
has fitted herself to do some particu-
lar line of work so we'll that she is
an expert in 1t.
Then it is a different story. Then
the middle aged woman's services are
in demand, and she is preferred by
employers to the young girl because
she is more reliable. and less likely
to marry and leave just when her
services are most needed.
AS I have just, said, no more dread
than to be forced to earn her own
and her children's bread and butter
without knowing how to do 1t, yet
this malign fate crouches behind the
doors of tens of thousands OF women.
There are a multitude of women who
never look in their husbands pinched,
panied, marked faces, or hear their
husbands cough, or watch their hus-
bands feet drag a little slower every
evening, without their hearts turning
sick with fear.
FOR they cannot disguise from
themselves that the angel of death is
lowering over their households. and
they know that when the end comes
they will be left not only widows, but
penniless, and they fall into a blind
panic as they wonder how they are to
uroyide for themselves and their lit
tie ones.
You would think that a woman
! with any human intelligence at all,
and with even the most elementary
sense of prudence, would begin to
/ prepare herself against the hour of
disaster as soon as she perceived the
danger in which she stood. You
would think that knowing that the
time must inevitably come when she
will have to support the family that
she would bend every energy towards
fitting herself to do it.
But they never do. I have never
known a single case in which
woman with a sick husband, or a
woman with a husband whose earn
ings did not enable them to put any
thing aside. ever cast an anchor to
the windward by fitting herself to

DINNER STORIES

The colonel was known to be of
very choleric and uncertain temper
and Augustus was extremely nervous
when invited to dine at the old boys
rooms. He determined, however, to
be prepared to meet any situation
tactfully. The sitting room was on
the first floor and. sure enough, when
it came to carving the roast, a blunt
knife upset the coloners equilibrium.
He strobe to the door and flung the
knife downstairs after the servant.
Augustus with great presence of mind
seized the roast and threw that down,
too.
What the deuce do you mean BY
that?' spluttered the old boy as soon
as he was able to speak.
I'm very sorry, sir" said dussie
coolly. "I-er-I fancied you were GO
ing to dine downstairs."
An old farmer lay dying. The min
lister was sent for and prayed at the
bedside. Then, at the last minute,
the sick man rallied.
"Ah, my dear" he said to his better
half. cit may be I'll be spared to you
yet"
The old wife frowned ana said
grimly:
mo, no, George. You're prepared
and I'm resigned. Die now"

NEIL IS ANGRY WITH BARBARA
FOR MEDDLING.
CHAPTER LXVII.

I never closed my eyes all night.
If his bus ness was all as ii should be
why was Neil angry because 1 tried to
see his papers? l had not meant to
be meddlesome, simply to find some
thing to refute what people were say
ing about him-If Lorraine Morton
and those women I heard talking in
the store were telling the truth. And
it was strange they should say the
same things Mr.. Frederick had said
SO long before.
/ recalled the startled unbelief in
Neils voice when he replied to me af-
ter 1 had told him people were saying
unkind things about him, and tried to
extract bit of comfort from it. Sure
ly if he had been doing anything very
wrong he would not have been so sur
prised-or SO angry. 1t was 1 who had
made him cross. not the malicious Cos
sip of people who knew nothing of
him., his goodness, his generosity. Per-
hapS L had done wrong to go to his
office. 1t had been done on impulse,
because I loved him. 1 would make
him understand that, and he would
not be so angry.
Then / wondered what the book
keeper and the yellow haired stem
ographer would tell him. 1 hoped they
would not e2aggerate my actions. 1
knew 1 had acted terribly disappoint-
ed, especially when / went back the
second time to look at the mail

might be still more angry il they told
him. All kinds of wild ideas came
into my head. To telephone them not
to say anything to my husband about
my second visit to the office-to tell
him myself in the morning, trusting
that he would be over his anger by
that time. even to deny having gone
back if he was still cross. and they
told him. But most of that long night
1 spent trying to convince myself that
nothing l had heard derogatory to
Neil was so-could possibly be true.
I rose early but he was in his bath
even then. L imagined he had not
slept. L knew he had not undressed
nightclothes. He probably had thrown
himself on the divan all dressed and

sthat the Great War was an economic
struggle between Germany and Eng
land for commercial supremacy. This
is true only as far as Germany is con-
cerned. She had the markets of the
world well in hand and was gaining
steadily in the race with England but
she was not satisfied. She wanted to
put all rivals out of business in a few
months. Her greed proved to be her
undoing. England may have had
cause for starting an economic war;
Germany had not.
