Not a Child Lover.

W. returned from Spain. was talk
ing in Philadelphia about Spanish
children.
Spanish children" said he. "are the
worst spoiled. and Spanish parents
the most indulgent, in the world.
The dining rooms and reception rooms
of Spanish hotels swarm with scream
ing, frolicking. fighting children, but
the Spanish guests smile indulgently.
A child Of six eats as much as it likes
of everything on the table. and ac-
companies it's parents everywhere. At
3 or 4 o'clock in the morning, the
usual hour for Spanish entertainments
to come to an end, innumerable tiny
tots. exhausted, are bundled into walt
ing carriages by loving parents. II
you ask them why they didn't leave
the poor babies at home. they shrug
their shoulders and answer, helpless
ly: They wanted to come
II suppose the only reason one
doesn't see Spanish babies seated at
the cafes behind glasses of beer or
whisky Is because they prefer their
sugary sirups." o

LIFE'S PROBLEMS
ARE DISCUSSED

a girl wrote me a letter telling
me of a queer little experience she
had.
She said that a friend had given
her the little group of tigurines
called The Monkeys of Nippon"
one monkey holds it's paws over its
eyes. the next is covering its ears
and the third its mouth, thus silent
ly admonishing the beholder, ITO
see no evil, hear no evil and speak
no evil"
The girl was Immediately i'm
pressed and made Il good resolution
on the spot. She fully intended to
follow the unspoken mandate of Wis
dom. She put the little group on
her dressing table. so that she might
frequently be reminded of her new
purpose.
But as she went about with this
new idea in her mind, she was
shocked to discover that hardly
any one she knew ever spoke of
the good and beautiful things of
life. They did not seem to think
that these deserved any particular
mention. Instead, she heard on
every side stories of tragedy sick
ness sorrow and woe. .
The negative side of existence
seemed to be the only one that
people in general saw, heard or
acquaintance she was met with
som ething like this:
"Oh. I am all right, but we have
had the most awful time at home.
Father has been desperately Ill,
mother is all worn out, and every
one we know has been having
terrible things happen to them"

Jim seems to like my robe. 1t

repeated.
l had heard him. but even now l
didn't answer. I couldn't 1t was
too brutal
l got up and started to make my
way out of the box and down TO the
floor, and just as l got to the soft
green taffeta portiers there stood
Valerie Cosby. with my Jim lurking
in the shadows behind her.
Don't hurry away-unless we in
ytrude," she said in her very cream
}iest voice. Though, Of course, for
husband and wife to be found in the
same cozy corner at Il ball will cause
"a terrible uprOar in society.
My voice felt so brittle l thought
it would break when l spoke, but l
managed:
This is the most gorgeous party
I've ever seen, Mrs. Cosby
"Pou dear country mouse she
replied. This is only a little i'm
promptu party, and the prettiest
thing about it is this lovely robe
you gave me. 1t must have come
from some one who is very, very
fond of you-and l hope YOU Will
get n loVelier one to pay you-and
make YOU quito gorgeous when

Then my little lilac costume
seemed shaDbier than ever. And
though Tom Mason's hand on my
arm steadied me - the hand was
trembling
I'll have a gorgeous gown for
your real party-but first the man
who's going to give it to me must
join me in giving YOU a party. Isn't
that so, Jimmie?' | asked in my
most proprietary tone as we'll as my
most naive one.
"Righto," said Jim, his eyes on
Valerie Cosby.
Thursday l persisted. Dinner
and theater?'
That would give me time to so to
the smartcst place in town and or

sneer. I was through being saving.
1t didn't pay.
How generous YOU are to me-"
replied Valerie Cosby-honcy sweet
as she narrowed her eyes and
fixed them on mo with half smile.
You seem hound to give me the

Or, Have you heard about the
accident? Isn't it too awful"
Even the bits of conversation she
caught on the street were doleful:
The doctor says she has only
forIy-eight hours to live. She hasn't
cent in the world, my dear, and
those three children on her hands,"
The girl says. however. that she
clung to her good resolution as
best she could; whenever She saw
an unpleasant thing she immedi-
ately looked about for some bit of
beauty: when she heard something
depressing she strained her ears
to catch a laugh or a cheerful word
in order to counteract the impress
sion. But the worst part of it for
her was that she herself was con-
stantly saying sharp, critical, un-
kind things before. she thought.
Still she is evidently a persever-
ing creature, for she kept on in
spite of all her disCouragements and
disappointments and now, as she
tells me, results are beginning to
show. She hears more pleasant
things than unpleasant things. She
meets and talks with more cheerful
people, and she gets glimpses of
beauty everywhere.
There is nothing strange in this.

ton, no matter what it may be, all
sorts of obstacles seem suddenly to

to them we are lost. The only thing
to do is to kick them out of the way

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsiied
cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap and beats anything else
all TO pieces. You can get this at
any drug store. and a few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoon
full is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
Cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, waVy, and easy to ham
die. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

voices that would seek to allure

long upon the road. But being 4

with cotton to shut out the be-

enchantment from her brothers
had adventured in quest of the
treasures without taking her fore
thought.
There is a deep truth in all these
old fables. The negative elements
of hesitation and fear which keep
us lettering on the way to accom-
plishment are the little foxes which
spoil the vines of endeavor.
one has only to look into the
faces of the 'wasters' to realize
that somewhere along the road
way these men and women have
yielded to an inclination to drift
with the tide, to postpone a deci-
sion, to sit down and rest until
resting became habit and be-
cause the going was hard.
The negatives of life are the
things not to see, not to hear and
never, never to speak.

into the room.
"Why did you run away so sud

the greatest amusement.
I stared back ut her with checks

my determination not to blush. Did
she mean to ask why l had run

had fed from Tom Mason? What

The young gallants of Stettin, Ger
many, have delivered an ultimatum
to their young women friends. They
announce through a paid advertise
ment in Stettin newspaper that they
no longer are going to spend tner
hard-earned money taking young wo-
men to dances and buying refr sh-
ments for them. The girls will have
to bear half the expense of the evening
Or there will be no evening.
The reason for this Dutch treat
ultimatum is that the young wcmen
now are earning money, in some
cases as much money as the young
men. They must spend their money
or cease to enjoy the company of the
young chevaliers of Stettin. The
revolution has taught the young men
4 few things, according to the pub
