aye Marriage Ends Good Times

says Marriage Ends Good Times
Dear Cynthia--As my first contri-
button to your column may answer
Almost a Woman Hater"?
I can hardly blame the girl in ques-
ton. II the girl was young her mother
was perfectly right Probably the girl
thought of you as n good friend. but
as soon as you started getting serious
or you did the girl dropped you be-
cause she had no idea of getting mar
rled and had no wish to spend maybe
two or Nhree years more going around
with one man and then finding out
after all that she could not marry him.
It's foolish for n girl to do a thing like
that, especially II she's young. for then
she loses the best time of her life. The
only time a girl has is between the ages
Of eighteen and twenty-three or twenty
four, and II she marries then she loses
IT, She has all the rest of her Ii e
to be married, but only those few years
When she can really enjoy herself-so
And Almost woman-Hater," II the
girl treats you that way, wise up, she
doesn't want anything to do with you :;
let her alone. DORA.
Such point OF view as yours, my
dear Dora, is what makes for the un-
happy married life. why say after mar
rage a girl loses her good times? With
marriage she enters into the fuller
meaning of life. The very fact that she
cares for some one more than herself
and has some one to care for her
more than himself makes for a greater
happiness than she has ever known. II
Is a happiness even to make sacrifices
for the loved one of her dearest wishes
II II is looked IN in the right way.
stop and think bit. my dear. and do
not be so ignorant and cynical.

CHAPTER THREE
Which Telle of the Complaining Coin and the Man Who Lost His Self.

Which Tells of the Complaining Coin
 and the Man Who Lost His Self.
 There was a certain gold coin in a little bureau drawer in Bingville which began to form habit of complaining to its master
 ''How cold I aml" 1t seemed to say to the boy. "I was cold when you put me in here and have been cold ever since. Br-r-r! I'm freezing
 Bob Moran took out the little draw CT and gave It shaking as he looked down at the gold piece.
 Don't get rattled," said the re- doubtable MT. Bloggs, who had a great contempt for towards.
 It was just after the Shepherd of the Birds had heard of a poor widow who was the mother of two small children and who had fallen sick of the influenza with no fuel in her house.
 T am cold, too" said the Shepherd.
 "Why, of course you are" the coin answered. That's the reason I'm cold. A coin is never any warmer than the heart of Its owner. Why don't you take me out of here and give me chance to move around?"
 Things that would not say word to other boys often spoke to the Shep- herd.
 Let him go,' said Mir. Bloggs.
The Pulaskian., 1921-05-26

was within one sip of a decision to let go.
 Mrs. Bing was admirably cool. In her manner there was little to indi- cate that she had seen the unusual and highly festive accessories. She sat down beside them and said: My dear, I was very lonely and thought would come and look you up. Is your luncheon finished?'
 "Yes," said Phyllis.
 '"Then let us go and get into the car We'll drop Mr. King at his home"
 When at last they were seated in the limousine, the angry lady lifted the brakes in a way of speaking.
 q am astonished that you would go to luncheon with this young man who has insulted you" she said.
 Phyllis began to cry.
 Turning to young Gordon King the. indignant lady added: T think you are a disreputable boy. You must never come to my house again. neverw
 He made no answer and left the ear without a word at the door of the King residence.
 There were miles and miles of weeping on the way home. Phyllis had recovered her composure but be- gan again when her mother remarked, q wonder where you learned to drink champagne and cognae and smoke cigarettes" as if her own home had not been a perfect academy of dissi- pation The girl sat in a corner, hen eyes covered with her handkerchief and the only words she uttered on the way home were these: Don't tell fatnerln
 While this was happening, MT. Ba- ker confided his troubles to Judge Crooker in the latter's office. The judge heard him through and then delivered another notable opinion, to wit: .There are many subjects on which the judgment of the average man is of little value, but in the mat ter of bringing up daughter 1t is apt to be sound. Also there are many subjects on which the judgment of the average woman may be trusted, but

m Am Cold, Too," Said the Shepherd.

-I Am Iotd, ooI 0dId the 0nepnefu. ter it is apt to be unsound. I say this, after some forty years of observa- tion"
 'What is the reason?" Mir. Baker asked
 'WeIl, a daughter has to be pre- pared to deal with men," the judge went on. "The masculine tempera- ment is involved in all the critical problems of her life. Naturally the average man is pretty well informed on the subject of men. You have prospered these late years. You have been so busy getting rich that you have just used your home to eat and sleep in. You can't do a home any good by eating and snoring and read ing paper in it."
 My wife would have her own way there." said Baker.
 That doesn't alter the fact that you have neglected your home. You have let things slide. You wore yourself out in this matter of money-getting. You were tired when you got home at night-all in, as they say The bank was the main thing with you. I repeat that you let things slide at home and the longer they slide the faster they slide when they're going down hill. You can always count on that in case of sliding. "The young have taste for velocity and often it comes so unaccountably fast that they don't know what to do with it, so they're apt to get their necks broken unless there's some one to put on the brakes"
 MT. Emmanuel Baker arose and be- gan to stride up and down the room.
 Upon my word judge I don't know what to do,' he exclaimed.
 There's only one thing to do. Go and find the young people and give them your blessing. If you can dis | cover spark of manhood in the fel-
