 Ilona stared hard at the object in dicated. It looked horribly hard and formal to her eyes. Queer how the eyes of her mother could see beauty in the things that her own could only see something undesirable.
 Once inside the large and fashion ale ship the three wandered aoubt at first to give uona a chance to feast her eyes on the beautiful things with in. And she was dazzled. There seemed no end to the gorgeous dis play of silks tnd satins. jewels and what nots that twinkled at her from every sidee
 The only thing that drew an ex- clamation of genuine delight from her was 8 long pink coral necklace which was tucked away out of sight and almost lost amid the winking brilliant display of modern jewelry about it.
 Mother, how perfectly lovely that necklace is. So sweet tnd simple. should like to have it," she said, squeezing her mothers arm to attract her attention.

THE. SHOPPING TRIP

uona was delighted as well as as- tonished with Louisville. It was her first introduction to any city at close range, and her eyes fairly popped out of her head as she was kept busy looking this way and that in her en- deavor not to miss anything.
 'tGracfous, mother, what a huge stony place a city really is. isn't it? All these buildings so heavy and close. I should never like to have to live in one of them.'
 My dear. those buildings you are referring to now are only business buildings. No one lives in them and they are used in the day time by business men. As a matter of fact, many of the men who work in these offices here live out in the suburbs. So don't work about them"
 The street cars, ambulances and, above all, a fire engine out on parade caused ths girl to go into shrieks of wonder. Truda sat laughing to her hearts content as she watched her sisters enjoyment It seemed i'm credible to her blase little mind that there was any girl alive nowadays ary as a fire engine. A new beau would be something different. Even she could still thrill to that, but this weird sister of hers seemed totally unaware Of men. Not by the culver of an eyelash did she ever show any particular interest in her sisters re- citals of conquests. or in any of her edorers. Truda almost pitied Ilona for this trait

HOLLOW SHOULDERS

There are several ways of fattening hollow shoulders. I would advise the girl who is unfortunate enough to be thin here to try several of the following methods:
 First, and possibly the most inn portant is deep breathing. Some times the only trouble with a thin, aenemic, hollow chested girl is that she does not get enough fresh air. First thing in the morning when she get up and do this, but the vigorous window of her room, with a warm robe, of course, wrapped around her, tand take ten long, deep breaths of air. It may seem a great effort to get up and this, but the vigorous wide awake feeling that will follow will more than repay her for the ef- fort. At various other times during the day she should also practice deep breathing.
 The second thing is to stand straight Deep breathing exercises will help straighten her shoulders. The better health that is bound to follow an adequate supply of fresh air will make her unconsciously hold herself better.
 A third valuable hint is this: Mas sage the neck, shoulders and chest i every night with a little warm cocoa 1 butter. Cocoa butter can be pur- chased in small cakes for a few pen ! nies If you hold one of these cakes
 near the heat it will begin to melt

AN ANTIQUE COMPLAINT

George Washington kicked because
 prices were high. Ben Franklin raised Cain when the
 meat was to buy. John Hancock depIored the high cost
 of string beans. Tom Jefferson hated to reach in his
 jeans. James Madison f1ayed the Shylock
 profteers. Van Buren communed on the short
 age of steers. Buchanan knocked prices and said
 they were steep Abe Lincoln remarked on the high
 cost of keep. Ulysses S. Grant denounced all mid
 dlemen, And Moody and Sankey agreed with
 him then. Dan Webster complained of the high
 price of booze. Jim Garfield did not like the cost of
 his shoes. Mckinley thought prices too high for
 our health Roosevelt knocked malefactors Of So we've got no patent on this little
 kick. The high cost of lfvinng made Old

My boy of 19 has scarletina. .. He was strong, healthy, very studious, a boarder at college. It seems a mys- tery how he could have gotten such a sickness. However he is doing well and is now in his 22nd day at the Hospital for Contagious Diseases. He is allowed to write postal cards to us which are disinfected in formaline. It seems to me that there are great risks in receiving such mail, especial ly in view of the fact that I have eight other childrens at home. The hospital also returned to me some clothes that were disinfected-I am fearful to undo the bundle? He is allowed to read. I am told that his eyes would be effected in conse- quence? I understand that he will be released from the hospital on the fortieth day. Would it be wise to let him come home and mix with the children?
 Answer-There are no risks in re- ceiving such mail. Scarlet fever and measles are generally caught be- fore any eruption appears on the face or body; the infection is con- tracted from the nose and throat dis charges, as in grippe, diphtheria, whooping cough and on. Some infection carriers must have coughed or sneezed close to him. Be brave and undo the bundle We now no longer fear "fomities," inrected bum dies of cIothing,'' after they have been sterilized. Reading much dur ing convalescence is weakening, but allowable in moderation By all means welcome your boy home on the fortieth day.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think woman ought to stay with a man who will drive her children the clothes of my 12-year-old girl and made her t1ize them and go and she hasn't any father and no people to go to-. His excuse was she did not do enough work, but that was not it; he just doesn't want her and a smaller child of mine to eat any thing. He never has spoken a good word to either Of them since we have been married, but before we were married he was very kind to them My heart has been broken and my health ruined over seeing my children mistreated-
 Don't you think God would help me if I should take my children and try to make a home for them? I believe there would be some way for us to live. Maybe my health would get better and I could work. My husbands mother told him he ought not have to keep my children, but he knew I had them before we mar rted, and 1t is a sure thing I never promised to give them up. would not have married a man who would ask me to give them up and now I don't feel like living with him and give my children up.
 WORRIED MOTHER
 Our man-made laws only too often fail td protect a mother in y,our position. I believe. however. that if you complained about your husband to the probate court he would be made to understand that your chil- dren are not to be sent away He married you knowing that you had children and he assumed the obIiga- ton of providing for them as long as you choose to live with him.

 Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a wom- an 32 years old and have been mar ried twice. I am now divorced and going with a. fellow 2S years old I have been going with him over a year. I am sick most of the time and not able to work My parents are poor and have a large family to take care of.
 This fellow go with wants to help me out and pay my doctor bill. He thinks a grreat deal or me. He won't go any place unless am able to go with him. He won't even speak to his old girl friends, the ones with whom he used to keep company. be- cause he is afraid he will make me angry at him. He is awfully good to me, but is awfully jealous of me. He does not want me to go any place without him.
 It is all right for him to help me and pay my doctor bill?
 He is a good fellow to work and provided well and made a good home for his wife. She is dead and has been for two years Do you1 think 1t would be all right for me to marry him? q GRAY EYES.
 No, it would not be right for You to let the man pay your doctor bif} would advise you to go to a free diSpenSary where YOU would have ! good attention and every chance to being cured.
 Do not marry unless you are re- stored to good health. or unless you are assured by a physician that your ailments would not impair the health of your husband. You must be un- selfish in this matter and consider first the man who offers to take care of you.

I but what I want to know is this. His
 lungs are very, very tender; and if he draws a long breath, it hurts where they were affected. Of course he still follows the treatment you sent him and finds it good. Now, will you please tell me if the soreness matters and if it will always remain like that. or will gradually disappear. This kind of soreness makes me nervous: I do want to know what causes it. 2. A specialist in this city told me few years ago that I had bronchitis; but ] never cough. On a rainy day or in the mornings I lie on my back and breathe through my mouth and htheFe is a clicking which seems pug zling. I really don't know whether It comes from my chest or my throat. I generally have a cold in my head. If I go out I spit little all the time. Will you tell me if it is bronchitis and catarrh that I have?

The doctor gave me some pills to dissolve | and put up his. nose and, in doing l this, some of the water went to the ear and he took a very bad earache | and his ear ran water.

An Idea for Curtains

Here's an idea for keeping your lace curtains or scrim, net or Swiss ucrtainS clean.
 Make one extra pair when you make the curtains. Then each week or each two weeks, as necessary, take down one pair of curtains that are beginning to look soiled, and put up the extra pair instead. Wash the sofled pair. and have them ready to put up at another window the next week, or the second week after, as necessity indicates, so that another soiled pair. may be washed.
 Thus you have always clean cur ta1ns, you never shave more than one pair to wash at a time and you don't have that ugly spectacle of a curtain less home for three or four days while the curtains are laudering.
 The only hitch in this plan is that your windows may not all be the same length. In this case you would have to have all the curtains made for the longest window, and then when they were used on the shorter windows you ccould turn over an ex- tra fold and haste it at the top.
 Or, you could have two extra pairs. one for the short windows and one for the longer ones. Either way would work out satisfactorily.
