LITTLE TALKS BY
BEA ATRICE FAIRFAX

Are you in love with love, or are
you in love with young Mr.. Jones OF
Miss Robinson?
The mistake is by no means re-
stricted to the feminine gender
Perhaps you are a young man of ro-
mantle age and are addicted to read
, ing poetry and thinking unutterable
thoughts and imagining yourself to
be deeply in love with Miss Hawkins
or Miss Robinson. But you may be
wholly mistaken, the object of your
| tender solicitude may not be either
of these young ladies, but love it.
self. In fact you may be in love
with love, which is a common enough
complaint among young people and
others not so young.
And if you are contemplating mar
riage, as the next step to being in
love, please-if you value your peace
of mind or that OF Mr.. Smith or Miss
Robinson-find out If you are in love
with love, or some young person.
For if Mr.. Smith or Miss Robinson
happens to be only the peg upon
which you hang the rainbow tinted
fragments of romance they will not
measure up to your ideals no matter
how hard they strive.
Dreaming Dreams of Perfection
For when you are in love with
love you are dreaming dreams of abb
solute perfection and you are de-
manding quite too much of Mr.
Smith or Miss Robinson as an un-
derstudy.
There are a number of very sim
pie tests by which it will be easy to
prove whether the object of your
affections is an abstract ideal or a
flesh and blood man or woman. Do
you have to make a good many ex-
cuses to yourself for Mr.. Smiths
or Miss Robinson's shortcomings
Do Mr.. Smiths never-failing opin-
ions on all subjects get on your
nerves, and do you sometimes feel,
in the words of the classic squelch-
er, that you wish you knew as much
about anything as young Smith docs
about everything?
Does the way he chews a tooth
pick or pares his nails in public
make you wish his mother had not
wholly neglected to instruct him in
the little decencies of life? And do
you wish he would not cough or
fidget that way, or make himself the
hero of every story, or tell you
that old one about the time, ETC.?
Are you aware of the distinct fea-
lures of Mr.. Smith. on the opposite
side of the fireplace, when you
dream of the future or is there just
an indefinite blur that stands for a
masculine presence about the house
Do you think 1t would be lovely
to stop going to office or to "busi-

write out the checks, and a bass
voice to contend with the janitor,
and a robust presence to stand be-
tween you and all the disagreea BILE
situations in life? And to achieve

Honored by France

New York, July 30.-William P.

Life'S Problems
Are Discussed
by MRS. WILSON WOODROW

There, is one thing the world Is al
ways looking for. and, having found
1t, Will pay almost any price that is
asked; &ni that is new and better
ways of doing old things.
The other persons way is for those
who lack initiative and opinions of
their cwn. But the man or woman
who can breathe the breath of new
life into his work and achieve diff
ferent and more satisfactory results
will find that the world is his.
One of the greatest elements of sue
cess in the life of man who be-
came an empire builder-for with his
railroads he opened up the North
west, with it's vast wheat fields-was
that all he ever asked OF the men
under him was results. He would
invariably say: Don't come to me
and ask how l want things done. Do
them" If a man couldn't meet this
requirement he was dropped.
A contemporary of his, a man also
of great power, died of a nervous
breakdown before he had reached his
prime, largely because he refused to
let the men under him exercise their
individuality or express their per-
sonality upon their work.
lie was, as was said of him, not
content to be the head of the organi-
zation; he wanted also to fill every
position, major and minor, all the
way down the line. His subordinates
tried to save him, but gave it dp in
despair. He couldn't or wouldn't let
go of the small things to grasp the
big ones, and practically committed
suicide by attempting to l5soIb a
mass of unnecessary detail.
And what applies to the large
issues of life applies also to the small
ones. Recently 1 watched a girl
packing the family trunks prepara-
tory to summer fitting.
She was both practical and metho-
dical, and since the task devolved
on her, she made her own plans about
the way she meant to accomplish il
and thus save herself time and un-
necessary work.
But her mother. not we'll enough
to attend to the packing herself as
she had formerly done. and a woman
of the fussy, worrying sort, was not
willing to give up the mental super
vision of it. In spite of her daugh-
ter's pleading and protests, she stood
by. directing the placing of every
article and the arrangement of every
fold.

She Grew Thin and Was
About Down in Bed When
Friends Advice Saved Her

81 was just about down in bed
with stomach and kidney trouble
and l had grown thin simply be-
cause l was getting no good from
my food" said Mrs. Alice Kennedy,
of Marysville, Pa,
Anything ate would distress me
and cause gas to form so that I had
shortness of breath" this Pennsyl-
vaEia woman explained.
II had an awful pain in my back,
and sometimes it seemed that 1
couldn't even stand the weight of
my clothes.
"a friend of mine had been TAX
ing Natonex, and she was feeling
so much better that she told me
about this new Nature medicine. 1
cannot tell you how glad I am that
she did tell me, for the relief it has
given me has been a. blessing.
II began to notice relief about

was that they both left home perfect
wrecks and in no condition to enjoy
a summer free from care.
Now this girl had mind of her
own and she wanted to exercise it,
Yet, instead of being allowed to do
So she was forced to suppress her
own ideas and blindly follow the
mothers. And the outcome was a
sense of bitterness and futility on
her part and of annoyance and irrita-
ton on the part of her mother.
Most people can rise to meet the
big responsibilities of life; but it is
trivial, soul-wearing interferences
and petty tyrannies like these that
darken the day and make harmony
and sympathetic understanding in
the home impossible.
We have all heard fathers say to
their sons, You will do it my way,
or you Will not do it at all? or moth
ers say to their daughters, II am
perfectly satisfied with the old way;
don't want any new experiment ts
introduced"
In this way the boy or girl would
be put upon his mettle. He might
make dozen mistakes, but he would
make haste to rectify them, for ms
goal would be the results demlnded.
And he would conserve both time and
energy and temper in doing it, since
he would not have to stop and argyle
or dispute about methods.

The daughter simply had a knack

she got there. If the mother had in

BE Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo for this is pure
aud 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 water
and rub it in, apour a teaspoonful 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
handle. Besides, it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

moment, staring at the ceiling and
putting hard at the last of a series
of cigarets he had been smoking
steadily all the while 1 related the
circumstances leading to Loretta

Advice to the Lovelorn
He Has An Awful Temper

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have been going about with a
young man for the past three years
for certain reasons we are not yet
engaged. Although 1 love him dear
ly, L must admit at times l think
L am only infatuated with him. The
reason l give for this is that he has
an awful disposition and temper.
When we are out in company if l
happen to do anything he does not
ike, he will insult me and spoil my
whole evening, and then on the way
home he will beg for forgiveness.
Now, Miss Fairfax, this has hap
pened time and time again, and I
am Just growing sick over it. 1 try
to explain to my friend that 1
never mean to do any harm and
that he. shouldn't be so hasty, but
it does no good. AS said before,
l love this young man and I know
1t will be hard for me to give him
up. What shall l do?
CONSTANT READER
If the young man treats you with
such marked rudeness before mar
riage, / do not see how you are
going to deal with the situation
afterward, and you will probably
have less influence over him then
than you have now. The only thing
to do is to take a firm stand and
when he insults you before people
leave the company or do something
that will bring him to a realization
of his own ill breeding. Such a
romance does not sound very prom
ising to me. .

He Speaks Poor English

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
l am nineteen, a bookkeeper and
going about with man five years
older than l am. This young man Is
foreigner, has been in this country
about eight years, and speaks very
poor English, and l am an American
girl. He is an ordinary working
man, is very good at his trade and
earns rather a good salary-I have
had several gifts from him. Now
what l want to know is, whether
you think it advisable for me to
continue to keep company with him
any longer, as he has already pro-
posed to me, and the only answer
L gave him was if he proved worthy
OF being my partner he could be.
The more l see him the more |
learn to care for him. 1t seems a.;
though my friends are making fun
of him, so l take this opportunity
to ask you for your kind advice.
]. NJ. G.
AS you say the more you see of
this foreigner the more you learn to
care for him, it would seem is il
you had answered your own ques-
ton. Why do your friends n Ike
fun of him? Because he speaks
broken English? And how well do
they speak his language, or do they
speak 1T at all? AS you do not
seem to know your own mind as vet,
why not let the question of the en-
gagement drift for awhile and see
now you feel in regard to this young
man six months or year hence.
