Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a widow
twenty-eight years old and mother of
two children. eight and three.
How could invite a friend to
our house without arousing too much
gossip? live with my father. My
friend is rather shy on that account
When ! meet him, though, he speaks
so nicely that I can't help but wish
he would come some time.
/ do not by any means want to be
the topic of conversations among the
people of our town, as it is a very
cosby place. But l am so lonesome,
and can not go anywhere evenings,
because there is no one to go with
A READER.
Some time when you and the young
man are talking, and he seems par
ticularly interested in you, invite him
to come to see you. If he is as in
trested as you think, he will accept
your invitation without further urg-
ing.
Do not worry about what people will
say. 1t is to be expected that they
will talk when they see you have a
caller. Their talk will be harmless
however. Being a widow, it is all
right for you to receive the attentions
of another man.
Dear Mrs. Thompson. l have often
read your department and wish to ask
you some questions. What is a good
remedy for blackheads? What do the
names, Katherine, Ann and Louise
mean?

little wistfully.
IT dunno" James answered, Shaping
the reins on the horses back to hurry
him into jogging trot. "I'd go faster"
ne apologized. "only I've had him in
the hay rake nearly 16 hours ycster,
day and pretty hard at it all week"
Il want to drive slowly and talk"
vi said. Tell me more about Laura
and Charlie"
"Oh, there's nothing to tell" James
repeated again. Mother said there
was no living with her before, she was
so cranky. That's when she wasn't
sure of him-Charlie was running over
to see Clemmie Burke, and Laura was
scared for fear she'd lose him"
Poor Laura" Violet's voice was
full Of pity. Its dreadful to be in
love with some one and know there's
another girl" Here eyes were all

"She's not in love with him." scoffed
James. She wanted him before be-
cause-oh we'll, she liked him better
than the other fellows, and he paid the
most attention to her. And then when
she found he was going to see Glenn
mic, she made up her mind Clemmie
wasn't going to get him away from
her. Gosh, she was always in front
of the house! He couldn't go by on
his way to Burke's without her see
ing him and calling him in. Maybe
that's love" James had keen insight
at times. l often felt he knew very
well what was going on in our minds,
and that very little escaped those
quiet eyes.
Butt seems curious-they are
going to be married." vi began, a
little puzzled by the unromantic mo.
tives attributed to her sister.
Yes, sometime SOON"
And don't you think they will be
happy?"
ooh, suppose. as happy as anyone
ever is. Laura has been more good
natured since Charlie spoke. She had
what she wanted, so she Gained down

LAURA.

= Half a dozen people got off the train
and there was the usual little crowd of
friends and relatives that always
makes a country Homecoming such an
exciting occasion.
Violet and I, each with a suitcase
and bundle, started toward the car
riage across the platform. James
stared at US a full minute without
recognition.

Why, goo good Lord, vi, l didn't
know you! 1 didn't know my own
sister!" he cried, jumping out Of the
carriage at once. And Aunt Enid!
Why-why, what have you done to
vourselves?"
Suddenly the full force of the change
we had been through came to me. We
were different-so different James
really didn't know us. We were so
used to nice clothes by this time that
We had forgotten the difference be-
tween our appearance and that of the
other people on tho little local, and
especially between ourselves as we
went away and as we came back.
"How do we look?" l asked, kissing
James affectionately.

found Violet watching her brother
closely as we drove along. And |, too,
looked at him with more attention
than | would ordinarily. James was
different. At 20 he looked 25., and his
shoulders were bent as those of q
man of middle age might be- His
eyes were as fine as overall the
boys good qualities were to be seen
in these splendidly intelligent, rather
dreamy eyes. His hair, pushed back
from his head, showed the intellect of
the forehead. But the lower part OF
his face was heavier than usual.
Yes, there he was-all POSSIBLE
tiles and impossibilities. James
life would always be fight be-
tween the upper and lower parts
of his face. In that he was like
great many men-heredity was
at war within him. Given congen-
ial surroundings, James would
have been a fairly great man. Civ
en- discouraging surroundings, he
was sinking down and down into
nothing.

asked him casually.
oh, father fired our best hired mail
last week because he wanted raise.
James said. Mother and Laura are
always fighting about something OF

have some one around to pick on
and there hasn't been anyone since

tractor farming that recently came 70

ing: "Our best run was so acres in

after harvest we pulled an 8-foor
J. l. Case Tandem Disc over about $50

and used only a fraction more thar

listed, with a gang lister, $50 acres,
using ITO Of a gallon of gasoline per

drill about 600 acres and my Wallis
Tractor is stir "rarin' to 60"
Several other experiences Of an
equally startling nature with refer
ence to records made by the Wallis
Tractor were told by Mr.. DeVauls.
Surely, with modern tractors perform
ing in such a dependable way, the day
of the tractor has arrived. And, &C.
cording to Mr.. DeVault, the farm docs
not need to be larger than 100 acres
to make the tractor a profitable in
