, abilities that she was too tired to think of anything else.
 Many time in reading old mag azines she would think with longing of the young people, the fun she might have had with them. And even before she was 20, when you looked at her you could see the spirit of age creeping over her.
 Later the father died and, with the farm sold, this woman came to the city to live with relatives. She had to work and, being strange and back ward, she made very few acquaint- ances. And so she grew older and older and now her hslr is as white as snow and she still mourns those years that will never come.
 What a tragedy this is. What a frightful thing it is to have lost your youth-to have had nothing of the joy of being young. This is one of the most pathetic things that can happen to any human being, and yet, go into or country and you will see children growing old very fast, it is written on their little faces and in their bent backs as they carry the weight Of some younger brother or sister. While on occasions such a condi- tion Is imperative, when a mother is
 overburdened with many children and needs the older ones, be they ever so
 young, to help care for them, yet some way should be deNised-some good relatives or friends should as- sist such women in order that these young children may get something of the spirit that comes only in the very short few years before they have
 reached the age of manhood and womanhood.
 Every child has the right to play Every child has the right to loving care. Every child has the right to have some one look out for the short period of his youth when he himself doesn't realize the value of 1t and the importance of giving 1t every chance If 1 had a thousand. pens and a | thousand tongues I would cry them
 aloud in order that man might hear

one. can give a long lifetime to the service of others without being loved. It's the pay God set for such work. I've never known friendly person yet who did not have friends.
 Perhaps the reason why you say you have no friends is because you expect too much demonstration on the part of your friends. This is busy world, you know, sister, and we are all so occupied with our own affairs that we haven't time to get out a brass band or beat on cymbals every time some one we like comes around the corner. Nor do we fall on their necks, and kiss them, and tell them how much we love them, because that isn't our way. We save that for some crisis, and then we are there with all the affection, and help, and appreciation that anybody could use Do you remember in Barrie's story how Libby tries to make her little brother tell her that he loves her? He squirms and says finally. Love is an awful word to use when folks are not sick"
 And as fo some one saying that she wouldn't like to live with you. pooh! a fig for thatl But just. How many people whom you know and like would you care to live with? By the time we get 60 most of us have not funny little ways, and irritating little habits that make us pretty trying as daily companions. Before you condemn any one for not wanting your per petual society. give yourself the once over, and see if you aren't one of the old ladies who dip their bread in their tea, or suck their soup, or who just have to boss things. or who have the giving advice complex, or who can't eat unless things are cooked certain way.
 All of this doesn't keep people from loving you, but it does make them de- sire your company in broken doses, and no one has a right to take of- fense at 1t, or feel hurt over it.
 So cheer up, sister. Take the best your friends can give you, and try not to ask too much of them. The trouble with most of us is that we demand usurious interest on the lit- tie kindnessand generosity we pestow on others. DOROTHY DIX.

Dorothy Dir's Letter Bor
Can Happiness Be Found By Breaking Lawsa-The Wom an Who Has No Frends-The Wise Young Man Whose Head Rules His Heart

l Dear Miss Dix-I am in love with married woman, hardly more than a girl. We are each others ideals, only we met too late, God help us. We both feel that we can never love anyone else, yet we belong to re- ligioJs families and it would shock our parents and brothers and sis ters greatly if they knew we enter tained such feelings for each other. What shall we do? Shall we give each other up, or shall we forget Gods law and run away to some dis tsnt, isolated spot where just we two could be happy forever?
 Answer: You cannot travel so far, I. H., though you go to the ends of the earth, as to get away from your conscience, nor Is there any spot where soul that is not at peace l with itself can find rest and hSppi- ness. Many thousands of men and women, who have been unfortunate enough to be in your case, and loved where they could not possess the be- loved one. have cried: All for love, and the world well lost" and have fled with each other to some spot they believed would be a Seventh Heaven if only they could be to- gether. But in practically every such case the end of the dream is tragedy.
 The knowledge that they were looked upon askance and that other women dragged their skirts away from the woman; the separation from old friends. and family, and | old ties; the guilty knowledge that they had not played the game, killed love. Each pulled the other down, Each blamed the other for their con- mon ruin.
 No man who really loves woman would urge her to enter into an ir- regular relationship with him. He | knows too well the price she would have to pay for it. He knows that for a woman to find any happiness she must be able to be, proud of her of them, and so he protects hei against herself and against himself and keeps her from taking ster that she would repent in sackcloth and ashes.
 In a case like yours there are only | two courses to be pursued. One Is I husband and tell him that she loves you. and ask him to divorce her SC that she may marry you openly ana honorably.
 The other is to bear bravely, and nobly. and patiently the sorrow that has come to you. Pronunciation isn't easy, but 1t brings with 1t great and uplifting peace. And just te have known a great love is to have been blessed of the gods.
 And, perhaps, the unsatisfied love Is the most beautiful of all, for 1t Is never furnished by disillusion. II always remains perfect ideal with shining clouds of glory about 1t.

straws show which way the wind blows, and every girl hands out enough tips before marriage to en- able a man to judge what sort of a wife she will make. Clever and foxy is the lad who needs these, who gets line on her on the safe side of the altar, and who, if she tries to inveigle him into spending more than he can afford, pulls out before he legally assumes her shopping ticket.

If you marry girl who tries to jolly you into buying an automobile before you can afford it, who is even willing for you to go into debt for 1t, you NIill need no fortune teller to read your future for you. You will sit on the same stool, or stand behind the same counter you do now when you are 60 years old, for your wife will have spent money faster than you make it, and you will have had no chance to save up a nest egg or go into business for yourself. You will grow old and bent, and worn out before your time, or you will have staggered along under load of anxiety that will break any man. And you will live a life of slavery, sold into bondage by your wife's ex- travagance to milliners and dress makers, and shoplkeepers generally.
