a Mr.. Elder, who had expressed a
desire to see his china, into his den.
After a little desultory talk about
some of the pieces in his cabinet. he
took out the Menecy cup Mrs. Doran
had given him.
This is my most valuable and

it to Mr. Elder.

Author of STAGE Successes

! think that every girl should be
taught some occupation while she Is
still young enough to make 1t an es-
sential part of her life.
Nowadays girls of IL and Is are
beginning to search for something to
be interested in. And they shouldn't
marry while they're in that wide
eyed searching stage.
At Is a girls ideal is the best look
ing man she knows.
At % she wants to marry the man
she can sentimentalize over.
AT rs or 30 she becomes fond of
the man with whom she is compan-
ionabie.
I'd have a law passed preventing
any girl from marrying before she
is 25 and any man from marrying
before he is 80.
And if by that time the girl has a
profession or business in which she
has found success and happiness, she
shouldn't give It up, because the man
who loved her when she was that
business or professional woman
would find her a different person II
she gave up her interest to be just
his wife.

Having worked, whether or not a
girl stays at it five years, would bet
ter fit her for companionship.
Working broadens a woman and
tends to make her less selfish.
The only argument could think Of
against a girls working five years or
more before marriage is that she
might become so welded to her ca
reer that she wouldn't want to give
it up.
But if she has found a real career
there would be no reason for giving
it up.
The woman who actually accom-
plishes can combine her career with
being a wife because she will not
have to give all of her time to her
work IA -
I think that marriage is merely a
form of socialg7li life. and ! am sure
that if / should give the time to a
husband or married life which l now

OLD GRANNY FOX rs CAUGHT
MAPPING

There is a saying among the lit
tie people of the Green Meadows
and it is something like this:
You must your eyes wide open keep
To catch Old Granny Fox asleep.
OF course, this means that Granny
Fox is so smart and clever and so
always on the watch that you must
be very smart indeed TO fool her or
get ahead of her. Reddy Fox is smart,
but not so smart as Granny Fox.
You see, he hasn't lived as long, and
so there is much that Granny Fox
has learned but which Reddy Fox
knows little about as yet.
But even the smartest people are
caught mapping sometimes. Yes, sir,
they will be careless sometimes. 1t
was that way with Granny Fox. She
had become so accustomed to think
ing that she was smarter than any
one else, unless 1t was Old Man Coy

The FEAR OF GOSSIP


How an unfortunate complex"
may become fixed and contribute to
the lifelong misery of an individual
has been discussed more than once
in these letters. The practical work
ing Of such complex or dominat-
ing frame of mind or group of ruling
ideas is TO be found in this letter
from a young wife:
ITO understand my quandary, /

to be little mother to the children

Finally, l married an old man at
her order. ] hoped he would help
me to provide for my little sister and
brother. He made me that promise
before the wedding.

that he was already a married man!

Yet that immense quantity is said
by bee experts to be only one fifth Of
the quantity of nectar gathered. The
