The truth Of the matter IS that
there is no organized government in
Mexico, using the word in the uni

a government Carranza is merely

HEART AND BEAUTY
@ PROBLEMS
By MRS: ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson 1 am twenty
years old, considered very good look
ing and am well liked by most young
men. There is only one, however
whose attentions l. desire. have
known him all nay life and love him
dearly, but he does not seem to care
for me. How can 4 win his affection,
for without it can never be happy.
DORIS ALICE.
1t is so ordained by the~nature of
things that the man does the pdrsu-
ing. When girl breaks this rule she
subjects herself to. unfavorable COM
ment and usually compromises her
self in the eyes ofsthe young man she
particularly desires,a
You can be happy with what comes
to you naturally. 1t Is foolish to IDEAL
ize and then think tthat some living
person ernbodies your ideals. You
would be disappointed If you could
have the young man as your sweet
heart.
Dear Mrs Thompson: Last summer
I went visiting and while was away
ment young man whom l liked
very much. After l came home he
wrote to me four different times. 1
answered all of his letters but the last
time I wrote l received no answer.
Shall I write again or forget him?
He told my friend that he cared
very much for me. Do you think he
does?
He gave me his ring to wear and
also several pictures of himself. Shall
l return them? TROUBLED.
1t seems to be tout of sight, out of
mind" with the young man. Do not
write again unless he answers your
last letter.
Since he shows by his neglect that
he is not deeply interested in you, it
would be unwise to put too much faith
in what your friend says. He prob
ably spoke well of you and your friend
placed too much Importance on his
words.
Keep the ring and pictures a few
weeks longer and if you do not hear
from him, return them.

experience and outdoor training, sshow
a marvellous aptitude for the outdoor
life. They seem to fit into 1t quite
naturally, and they are good sports.
Hardships are treated as exciting ad-
ventures: cuts and bruises are borne
as proudly as scars of battle.
4 couple of weeks ago, for example.
the Health Center club. escorted by
Miss Taylor. went on an overnight ex-
cursion to Long Beach. They carried
knapsacks and huge lunches to last
them during the next day, and most
of them included bathing suits in
which the expected to take early
morning plunges in the ocean 1t
was warm-almost hot-when they
started. But scarcely had the party
reached Long Beach when the sky
became filled with oninous looking
clouds and a cool mist began to sweep
in over the ocean, :'It looks as if it's
going to rain, Miss Taylor" said one
OF the girls, as the party deposited its
knapsacks on the beach and gathered
around in campfire circle.
do you think we had better go
back? ?" asked the director
mol" was the unanimous verdict.
The. process of fire--kuilding and
unpacking went on. Meantime the
sky was becoming blacker, and the
ocean was coming in in a ragged line
along the beach. Just as everybody
was comfortably settled with her
sandwiches and fruit and coffee
gathered about her, the rain came in
>hard shower. There was a wild rush
to collect scattered belongings, and
by the time the girls had their KNAPP
sacks packed again and over their
shoulders, they were fairly wet
Once more the director asked them
IL they did not want to go home, and
once more the girls insisted that they
didn't. Miss Taylor, who is only
twenty-three herself. looked desper-
ately around her and finally spied
what appeared to be an empty cbt-
tage nesting in the shelter of tall
hotel, so she led a marathon thru the
sand for it. Fortunately. it had a wide
kept it dry. Here the girls, resting on
their knapsacks. spent the night. In
the morning the surrounding country
was so wet that breakfast on the beach
was impractical. But this time the
resourceful Miss Taylor borrowed the
nearby hotel laundry for a kitchen.
and the hotel management added to
the excitement of -thte occasion by
treating the whole party to rolls and
marmalade. After this the girls took
their four-miIe hike down the beach,
in spite of the rain.
So you see the New Yorok work
ing girl lives busy pleasant life. She
no longer spends her evening in the
cold seculsion of her hall bedroom nor
in the warm, stuffy dance halls of
lower Broadway. She has become a
practical, wholesome person, who is
going to be an excellent influence on
our next generations of Americans.

MRS. Murr,s ABSENCE.

Readers of The State Journal doubt
less have noted the absence, for some
time past, of Mrs. Mutt and the Mutt
heir from the daily doings of Bud
Fishers friends. Their more or less
sudden disappearance from public
view is commented upon by the Chi
cago News as follows;
Mutt,s wife is gone. Nuts young
but promising son no longer thrusts
himself pusnaciously into the denoue-
ments- Nuts SON and Mrs. Mutt
strayed off the page of comics with
out warning one day into a vanish
ment oFe-perfect than any work of
nature can effect. In matter and in
spirit no trace is left. They simply
are not.
To those who followed the hating
tune OF their romance there is regret.
Tempestuous it was, but hardly de-
serving of so complete evaporation.
Upheavals there must be around the
loosing of such ethical energy as Mrs.
Nuts. But why extinction?
i Unreproved and unregenerated.
Mutt has returned to the company
of jeff. The hour of profitless reform
is over. With Mrs. Mutt and the
young but promising son has vanished
the ethical component. Thru her, an
tagonistic to the public tho she was,
lay the sole hope in the morals OF
Mutt. Thru her he might conceivabIy
have attained those responsibilities es-
sential to a serious minded family
man. But such a being would not be
Mutt; Mrs. Mutt had to go.
Mrs. Nuts removal reveals the Ho-
merle simplicity of this epic. No
words nor adieux, no rantings in King
Cambyses's vein-she merely disap-
pears. and the comic strips have her
no more
Homerie, too, is the social accom-
mediation to the hero's needs. Elastic.
to say the least. are the social adjust
ments. Mutt has wife and a child.
Tomorrow he has not--no fuss or
worry. Why should epics such as
Mutt and Jeff be bothered? Noble
simplicity is achieved only by methods
nobly simple.

cause of the conversation I had over
heard about Irma Barton when shop
ping with Alice Sloane. But the visit
of my parents and the good times We
had with them had put it from my
mind. Now it REQUIRED to me. re-
membered that once when had asked
Everett about Mrs. Barton, he had
said:
II knew her just as 1 knew others

the time he was not quite honest with
me. Now I was sure of it..
1 wondered if he were sorry he had
married me instead of her, and if that
was the reason he spent his time with
her. 1 knew he called on her. So,
like everything else, l gave him credit
for being there far more often than
he was. In fact, at this time there
was not one little thing that would
make me miserable that did not
dwell upon, and in imagination make
far worse than it was.
wonder, If people realized how
sensitive a second wife is to her po-
sition, whether they would be so care
less in their talk-if they knew how
being called Number Two" wounded,
or how it hurt to hear the first wife
eulogized, they would so thoughtlessly
speak before the second wife.
1 do not think I was alone in re-
senting the constant reference TO my
husbands first choice. l think many
second wives, older than I, are hurt
in the same manner altho they may
be better able to hide it. to dissemble.
But there cannot help but be feel
ing akin to jealousy in the most amen
able of women when they hear a first
wife lauded. when they are told how
beautiful she was. what wonderful
character, or how brilliant mentally.
1t all hurts dreadfully.
A second wife often would forget
she was the second if she were al
lowed to, if people would let her. But
they WON'T They seem obsessed to
bring up wife number one in the con-
sation--to keep before the present
wife the fact that there has been one
before her.

second wife. just as we have for years
read them about a mother-in law. AL
