TELL THESE
AT DINNER

Mrs. Greene was exceedingly
pleasant with the world in gen.
eral. and with her self in particu-
lar. All her friends were la
menting their inability to find
a good cook, and she had been
successful in engaging a perfect
treasure. No wonder she held
her head up proudly as she walk
ed down the select avenue where
their convenient family resi-
dence was situated.
Her pride received a shock,
however, when the cook inform
ed her that she wanted to leave
to get married.
But, Betsy" said Mrs. Greene,
when she heard the news, 'you
have only been here a few days,
and you promised you'd stay,
you know"
Eyes, num- replied the cook.
I'm awful sorry, but the gentle
man wants the wedding on Satur-
day"
After a little thought, the mis-
tress said:
Don't you think you could ge:
him. to postpone the wedding Tor
a week or two just while get
a new cook?"
"Well, num-" was the reply,
I'D like to oblige you, but I am
not we'll enough acquainted with
the gentleman to ask him to do
that"
Young Steve, uanble to get a
Job, joined the navy. Here, as
in civil life, his slackness threat
ened to get him into hot water. +.
At last, after one very bad Of
Tense, Steve was taken before
the commander.
This Is a serious case" said
that officer, when he had heard
the facts. What have you to
say?"
II shall say nothing at all
about it, if you don't, SIR replied
Steve, to everybody's astonish-
ment.
"H'n1 Have YOU ever been up
before me since you Joined the
ship"
Dunno, sir. What time do
you mostly get up?"

follow it in dress and the
Arrangement of your hair"
This. in substance, is the advice
being given. US today through
many channels - newspapers,
magazines and lectures and books
on the beauty of woman. 1t is the
catch-phrase of today's fashions.
But just how to perfect ones
type-that is the problem.
OF course every woman dis
covers through the aid OF her mir
ror and the compliments OF friends
that certain effects are more be-
coming to her than others. She
tries to dress in becoming colors
and adopts the type Of hair dress
ing, frock and, hat that she be-
lieves-or at least hopes-will help
her to look her best.
But how is she to be sure she
isn't mistaken? Unless she under
stands the rules that govern har-
mony in dress and personal APP
pearance. she feels more or less in
the dark. at the mercy of guess
work.
There are certain basic laws
that govern beauty in a womans
dress. and appearance. One of
these is the law of balance. An
other is the rule that 1t is wise
to accent in dress, in movements,
in the ensemble of appearance, the
quality of feature that approaches
nearest to perfection and not to
accent the less perfect.
For instance, if your hands are
lovely. be, particularly careful to
keep them always at the point of
perfection. And wear a type of
gown that within the bounds of
appropriateness will display their
loneliness.
On the contrary, IL your hands
are too broad, too large. or possess
some other obvious flaw, try. to
find a dress designed in such
fashion that 1t will not make your
hands conspicuous. And mean
time, of course, try to remedy the
flaw.
This rule can be applied to
every detail of appearance. A
too high forehead will lose its bare
look when the hair is arranged to
fall in loose tendrils over it.
Are your eyes large. beautifully
shaped, altogether lovely? Do not
destroy the effect of their beauty

A round hat may make the

Hair swept high. pyramid fash

~ TART your boy at the bottom.
-. Hard work and low wages are
better for him at first than
easy work and high wages.
Trying to start at the top is the
fatal first step of many a young
man. And the young woman who
sits by watchfully waiting for him
to make his stake" so that they
may marry and be "Oh, SO happy"
this girl is also in for grief.
Give your boy long period Of
apprenticeship. No young man un-
der thirty should be receiving a.
big salary. Usually it turns his
head to have such an abundance.
Fifty is soon enough for any man
to get on easy street"
Fortunately, there is now little
difference in actual income and
actual rank between the industrial
classes and the professional classes.
And this fact, by the way, should
prove most encouraging to your
boy. When I started out at so
cents per day there were just four
avenues of escape from supposed
ignominy or failure in life-to be-
come either a teacher, lawyer, a
doctor or a preacher. I chose the
first named.
For a decade or more I followed
along, feeling for my real hearts
love in the field of writing. My
first salary as a teacher was $35 a
month-above the average for the
time.
You fathers of boys, do not pity
me. The low wages and the strug-
gle were a schooling. With plenty
to eat and to wear and with plenty
to do. my life was filled with the
choicest pleasures. I entered col
lege the first year with exactly
$3.50. and, by careful management,
had some of it on hand at the close
of the year. A hundred dollars
then brought me as much fun as
a thousand does now.
Teach your boy that there Is
nothing more disappointing than
chasing after a big income for its
own sake. If that is the best he
sees ahead as a goal for his strug-
gle, can safely predict ultimate
collapse of his youthful ambition.
There is little fun in having,
but there is great joy in striving.
Not striving to get, but striving to
to achieve; not striving to Guido
some other in salary or rank, but
striving to Guido your past self, as
a worthy, radiant soul.
Hard work and plenty of it; low
wages with only a gradual raise
as merit deserves; some, disappoint.

that she and Richard were often

this fact had made him, Donald

His voice was quite steady by
this time, but the color had gone
from his face until it was almost
as pale as that of the ivory
browed woman before him. She
did not move as she sat there;
vet he could see the quickened
rise and fall of her bosom.
"You should not say these

achieve a calm as complete as his
own.

She had clasped together the
hands that lay in her lap and then
unclasped them, with a small
gesture of hopelessness. Yet
somewhere deep in the shadowy
eyes was a light which made
them less rebellious, less COM
bative.
"But what good can 1t do?"
she cried out to him.
Il love you, and I want you,"
was his simple rejoinder.
You can't! You can't"' she
said with little shudder of self
-abasement. She was on her feet
by this time, staring down at him
with almost frightened eyes.

stood confronting her.

Hope surged through him at
the sound of those words. He
stepped quickly over to where she
stood between the bowl of Parma
violets and an Etruscan vase
filled with anemones. She did
not shrink away from him. But
the look in her eyes was almost
one of commiseration.
"Oh, you should never have come
here. she moaned,
Cant you give me a shred Of
hope?" he pleaded, as he caught
her passive hand in his, Yet its
possession brought him no sense,

as it lay, limp and listless, between
his fingers, as though in it lay
epitomized all that was abhorrent
in her past life. She was moving
her head slowly from side to side.
There's nothing to give now,
not even hope"
Her mournful eyes were study

beauty that barbed his body with
sudden arrows of fire 1t was the
look of wordless pleading in them. :

propaganda put out that the west
side of the field is water is pure
bunk. These wells now prove this.
This propaganda is for the purpose
of beating down the price of acreage
on the west side of the field, to the
end that the large interests can get
control of this acreage.
