Heart and Beauty Problems
By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l was born
and reared in another state. My peo-
pie were not careful as to convention
or character. ! do not understand why
j should have been different. but they
have held me in scorn for years, be-
cause of my "narrowness." Being os-
tracized by the people I SO longed to
be among, / began to realize there was
small chance for girl with my SUR
name in that part of the state and so
| moved away.
| am very glad l moved for here |
have an opportunity to satisfy my
craving for friends among nice people.
Yet here is my problem. Can a girl
be entirely away from her own peo-
pie?
/ became acquainted with a fine
young man in the office where l work.
We have gone together almost year.
He wants me to marry him, though
there has been no formal engagement,
that is, I have not accepted a ring,
and have made no vow. l do know
that I love him and he is everything I
could wish in the way of a husband.
His people live out of town and
they invited me down with him for a
week end. They are very well to do
from appearance, and have social
prominence. / have tried my best to
overcome the uncomfortable feeling
? that had been under much discussion
and that my visit was merely to settle
a question of fitness. Indeed, l fear
could not have stood it except for
my friends pride in me.
l have come to understand since
then that they have taken the pains
to look into my family, for, little
later l received most unkind letter
from his mother, urging me to release
her son, assuming, of course, we were
engaged.
have told him nothing of the let
ter, knowing it would only hurt him.

BEING OPTIMISTIC.

Though she was back in very near
ly the old tenement district OF her in
fancy, Annie regarded her surround
ings, her whole situation, from new
and brighter viewpoint. She was stlll
the pawn OF circumstances. But the
helplessness of childhood no longer
weighed her down. She was no longer
the victim Of the will Of other per-
sons, as children always are. She
did not have to live in the disorder
some one else created. Nor wear the
humiliating, poor little frocks fashion
ed of Uncle Georges samples" that
had caused her more suffering in the
old days than the grownups of her
family dreamed. She had rot to do
this or that irksome task without
knowing why. Or wonder and blunder
along through a maze Of happenings
and obligations that were ali more or
less a mystery to her childish mind.
She was free now in measure.
She had love The baby that lay In
her lap, that walked her in the night,
that worried her with threatened ILL
ress and was her constant care, was
flesh of her flesh, blood Of her blood.
And if the responsibility of tending
nim was greater, so was the JOY or
the service,
Her home humble as 1t was, she
could keep as she chose. The money
in her purse, little as it was, she could
administer She felt the vague prom
Use Of fate-mastership, soul-captaincy.
She never for an instant felt sorry
her childhood was past. And although
she had slipped back again into the
grip of poverty, she did not feel 1t
was forever, thanks to the optimism
inherited from her father.
The. Immortality Of the soul had
never been subject Of thought to
Annie. But her fathers hopefulness,
his teachings, his indomitable spirit
through failure, through sickness up
to death itself, lived on in his daugh-
ter. 1t would be passed on in Turn
to her son, and again in some meas
ure, more or less, to her sons SON.
And on, and on. Immortality of the
soul? Annie would have said unhesi-
tatingly yes-and unconsciously she
would have proved it.
What troubled her most right now,
however, was an item very matter-of-
fact and close at hand. She wanted
to find something to replace in her
young husbands life the pleasures Of
the Waterwitch Boat Club. She look
ed out of her kitchen window toward
the East river and smiled wryly as
a picture of New York's downtown
waterfronts came to mind.
The Battery was beautiful, but the
waters tapping it were as far from the
reach of Bernie Carroll and others
