Don't Worry; Time VIII Tell

Dear Cynthia--I have been an inter-
ested reader of your column, which at
times has aroused my curiosity. my wit
and my pity, for some time.
would like to ask you a few things:
Did you ever come across a person who
didn't understand herself7 Well. that's s
me.
First: II a fellow comes to see me- sits
in the parlor, "chews the rag for n
couple of hours, shakes hands and goes
home, l am yawning before the eve
nings half over. He's too slow-so
long.
Ihen, II fellow starts In mushing up
and wants to kiss me, he's too fast
l realize myself that / am never sat-
sfied and don't know what it'll come
to after l am hitched up for life. :
always fall in love with fellow tho
first time l see him, which dies in about
two weeks.
Well, at present there is a young ma l
l am interested in, and Ill tell you tho
secret. You're right, boys; treat 'em
rough and they like you better" l love
this fellow, not because he's nice and
pretty" to me, but because he hardly
notices me. l wonder how many moro
specimens there are like me?
HOPELESS.
Don't worry. child. when the right
man comes along you'll love him more
than two weeks.

never before, and through efficient
unionizing many men have been able
to demand living wages to meet the
soaring cost of living. Equally true is
70 that professional persons such as
clerks and teachers and professors and
ministers are comparatively at starva-
don salaries. While objecting vio-
lently, we are apt not to seize the real
remedy, that is. to cease our snobbish
ideals and fit the next generation for
the trades that do pay! Why cling to
the idea that there Is something lofty
and general in being n lawyer, IL there
are thousands more lawyers being
turned out from every university each
year than can hope to earn a decent
lying? In our prating of democracy.
Why not practice it, and train
our child to do some really useful and
creative work with his or her hands so
chat he or she always will be equipped
with a power that the world always will
buy?
Girls as we'll as boys should know
trode and do creative work. You
may have thought along these lines be-
fore, but always there is great prejudice
to overcome. It is not that people who
have decided talents in the arts should
ebjure them for some homely trade. but
that boys and girls should follow
natural bents, irrespective of century
old prejudices in favor Of learned pro-
fessions that may be uncongenial and
give little promise of a good living for
many years to come.
1t can do no harm to furnish every
boy and girl with a groundwork of
practical education. be he in ever so
wealthy environment at home. Fortunes
often fade and millions of women in all
lands throughout the centuries have
struggled with sudden poverty, help
less and incompetent.
There is JOY in fashioning any
thing practical and usable with our
hands. Carpentry in the trade courses
Of manual training schools delights any
normal boy, and cooking and wallpaper
designing are a pleasure to most girls.
Bookkeeping and banking are indis-
pensable and the sooner young people
learn them the better equipped they
are for personal and business life. 1t
takes but a short time for them to
learn which form of mental or physical
sctivity is best suited to them for more
SERIOUS specialization.

WHAT'S WHAT
By HELEN DECIE

Social usages. like popular proverbs,
are the outcome of worldly experience.
Fads come and go. but practical com.
fort abides.
Take the custom of serving after-dln-
ner coffee, for example. slipped without
cream, in small cups (demitasse) 1t is
the most healthful finish to heavy
meal, as the French dietary wiseacres
discovered long ago. After company
dinner" the coffee.course may be served
in the livng.room, as illustrated.
This method appeals quite as much to
the woman who does her own house.
work as to her wealthier sister, who
wishes to avoid a possibly dull finale to
a formal dinner. When the hostess
leaves the dining room with her guests
to take coffee in another room she can
easily slip away to clear up the table
while general conversation is going on
over the Coffee-Cups. and can return in
time to keep the ball rolling until the
company disperses.

HARVEST HANDS NEEDED
IN THE KANSAS FIELDS

]. NJ. Dodrill, of Ness City, Kans.,
was here Wednesday looking for
men for the Kansas harvest fields.
He stated that up to few days ago
there were but half enough men to
take care of the crops. The harvest
is big one and they are making a
great effort to get men enough to do
the work There will be work thru
to next fall for a large number of
men,
