 He didn't have a fortune of swollen stocks and bonds; he never was a plutocrat of which the land abounds; he never set the world on fire with eloquence or wit, for as a public speaker he never made a hit; he couldn't give a library or hospital to the poor; he hadn't change for things like that to help his fame to soar; he was but a humble citizen, the humb- lest of the lot, who never stole a sin- gle cent Or growled at what he got.

ADVICE T1 THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Sixteen months ago I had a mis- understanding with a young man for whom I cared more than I have ever cared for anyone else. Although ha had never sincerely proposed to nss he went with no other girl and came to my home from three to six times @ week, when he seemed perfectly lat home" with my whole family.
 After our misunderstanding, of which neither he nor know tho cause, he moved to another city. He frequently comes back for week-ends and holidays and oonf1des in my best girl friend that he still loves me and is absolutely miserable.
 What can I do? BLUE EYES.
 Why don't you write this man frank note and ask him to see you the next time he comes to town If the misunderstanding was trivial a talk will probably brush away all the fool fsh barriers erected by pride and sen- sitiyeness- Don't hold your pride higher than your happiness Tn any event, real man won't hesitate to give you the satisfaction Of an inter- view which he will be sure to feel i4 your due

The Happy Marriage

The Happy Marriage Dear Miss Fairfax:
 A cousin Is going about with a, young man of the game nationality, age, re- lig1on and about her own standing She is also acquainted with a young Spaniard who seems in love with her. He is ;of a different religion and speaks Engtsh with an accent. He is affiliated with a large concern in Cuba, and it would be necessary to live there if they married The girl speaks no Spanish. Her people seem inclined to have her marry the foreigner since he is in a better po- sition financially. Don't you think a girl has a better chance for her hap piness with a man of her own sphere?
 B.
 Happiness in marriage seems to depend largely on speaking the same language in more senses than one Mentally, spiritually and with a back ground Of custom. ideals and training, it is well for two who form a life partnership to be m accord. The more folke have in common to fortify their love. the more likely it is to be deep and lasting. I would be glad to hear from my readersson this prob lem

THE BABIES-GOD BLESS FEM
 The Miracle of Birth

For days after I first saw the mir acIe of a birth, was dazed with the awe and wonder of it. Sister had told us early of her happiness, know ing we would share it. For months we hal been preparing the little dresses. little booties, little sacques dainty caps, sturdy. binders and dtdies How we loved to make the little wardrobeI
 We talked over baby en famille Would it bo a boy? Or a girl? We cared not. We discussed it's baby hood,i ts childhood, it's future. Should it go back East to attend it's fathers Alma Mater? No, we didn't think wee ould allow it to go so far from us. It must stay in California and go to it's mother college What pro- fession would it be suited for?
 We warned our soft little mother, who was a notoriously easy disciplin- arian with us, that she was not going to be allowed to spoil it! Sister and had read a great deal of the modern literature about bringing up babies. We knew all about how we must guide it's will and activities. Its father would ask us, with a serious face but merry eyes, if he might make a suggestion occasionally as to it's career? How we loved it, the Little One-to-come!
 Of course, sister had engaged her physician, a specialist in officiating on first birthday occasions, and she was directing sisters life considerably. But we, the family, were directing that baby. It was ours and ours only, and no mere outsider, even be- loved physician, could have anything to say about it.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am en- gagged to a boy six years my senior. l am sixteen. He has been going with other girls and seems to show them better times than he does me Wher 1 went with boy he got Saugry. He says he dearly loves me. but I cannot believe him be- cause of the ways he acts toward Ire.
 have a rich uncle who wants me to come and live with him. Do you think I ought to go and break my engagement as he seems to enjoy the company of others more than mine?
 Yes, think it would be a good plan to break your engagement and to go to live with your uncle if you want to. The young man does not love you as he should or he would not go with other girls. Surely you do not your husband to insist upon going with other women. Such a situation is what you would have to face if you took a man who was not faithful be- fore marriage.
 Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a girl sixteen years old and have been keep ing company with a young fellow a. bout seventeen. There is an other boy who comes to see me, but l do not low him as much I do the first. What am I to do if they both come at once?
 The first has come to see me very often and has been doing so for a long time. Although I love him my folks do not like him so well. I do not go any place with him-he Just comes to see me. What am I to do about il?
 DARK EYES
 When both boys happened to come at the same time there is nothing you can do except entertain them at the same time. Try to keep the converSa- ton lively. make candy or read a short story.
 Try not to think so much of love.

Surely you realize that the seventeen year old boy has many years ahead or him before he can marry. It would pc very foolish to expect him to feel the that he does now, because youth is tickle Have boy friends ana not sweethearts. Probably if your parents felt your attitude was one of friend ship instead of love they would not object to the boy.
 Dear Mrs Thompson: Which should a husband love more: his wife or mother? l am young marrled "oH- an and my husband seems to love ms mother more. I think when girl marries all her love goes to her hus- band and her mother is not loved as much as before, but I imagine men are different.
 Do you think if a husband, his wife and mother were in a boat and it up- set that he would save his mother or wife? Which do you think instinct would teE him to do?
 FORGOTTEN WIFE
 Unfortunately love Is not thing which can be held in its proper place by duty. Love goes where it will. Some men never find 1t possible to love their wives as much as they have their mothers, while others are SO absorbed with the new love that they neglect their mothers.
 To picture a man and his wife and mother in sinking boat Is a waste of would depend upon the man.
 do not thing that when a man takes woman as his wife. he should try to adjust himself to her ideas and to make his life with her more i'm portant than anything else. His moth CT has no right to try to force her ideas upon him. She had her day when she was young and had her ltt- tie family. Now with her wisdom re- sulting from years of experience she should simply watch the drama of her sons life and say nothing.

GIycerine Beauty Lotions

oSStuIF lOI1OllS
 Glycerine plays most valuable part in making the various emulsions creams and milks sold to beautify the complexion. To make best use of gly- cerine it's nature should be properly understood, for 1t is very drying and can be as harmful as it is valuable
 An emulsion is a milky looking To- tton which holds a certain amount of fat in suspension, and which though almost free from alka.li, is as cleans in as soap, As fats tend to become rancid and anttseptic must be used with them. Clycerine is not only an tiseptic but 1t prevents the separation of the various oils and waters used in enIulsions. It also possese cosmetic properties of it's own.
 Glycerine must never be used by itself. It takes up so much water from the skin that 1t w1l make it smart and burn. possibly even grow red and rough. For ordinary complexions 1t should be diluted with the same a. mount of perfumed water-rose water, violet water or orange flower water are generally used. For very sensitive skins one-third glycerine to two thirds perfumed water is best.
 Glycerine is so bleaching that it is ideal to use for sunburn and freckles
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-05-02
SECTION

One of the best bIeaches I know is one part glycerine, one part lemon juice and one part rose watlar. If the skin is so sensitive that this solution dries or burns the complexion more rose water should be added so that it is half the solution This bleaching lotion is also good for keeping he hands white.
 Margie C. Any oil on the eyebrows will make them appear darker. Brush the brows into straight line instead of having them pulled out. To do this you first brush them with an upward motion and then with a very light motion brush them from the forehead downward. This brings all the hair into @ line and all that is needed is to shape the brow with the finger tip, or do it with another Hghy touch from te brush.
