PICKING A HUSBAND
BY Magnetic Mabel
DEAR MABEL: Very early in life
| made up my mind that l would not
make any of the mistakes with re-
gard to marriage that most of my
relatives seemed to have made. II
used to feel that both mother and
had used very poor judgment with
regard to father. I fixed in my mind
all that man must be in order to
make ME his wife. The years have
passed rapidly, but l haven't seen
single man that comes anywhere
near the requirements Will YOU
tell me what a sensible estimate of
the ideal husband would be? I fear
may have been to exacting.
ANNABEL.
DEAR ANNABEL: l made up my
mind, just as you have done and I
am overjoyed to be able to tell you
just what he is like. He is about five
feet eleven inches in height, has gray
eyes and brown hair. He is clever,
but not SO much so but that he be-
lieves me, to be the posseSsor of much
the brighter mind of the two. He
sings divinely; plays the piano like
a master; dances beautifully. is al
ways well, but never overdressed. He
adores me and loves to wait upon me
hand and foot. He seldom drinks and
smokes only after dinner He always
remembers those little attentions that
made him so fascinating at first, if you
get what l mean Theatre tickets,
flowers, chocolates and so on. l nev-
er tire of thinking OF him either. He
was never born. MABEL.

Small Amount, Of Course, but II Has
Value Far Eeyond Its In
trinsc Worth.

1t Is very common thing to hear a
clever, capable man or woman accused
of not knowing "the value of a dollar"
or of not being able to save a dollar"
Before you can make money you
must first have a true appreciation OF
the value of 81; not the value of 81 600
or 100000. but the true value of 81.
says a writer in Thrift.
You have often card the express
sion: "To him dollar Jocks as larga
as a house" While this expression Is
usually applied to a person who is
miserly, 1t would. evertheless, be al
excellent thing If every thriftless per-
son would place igher appreciation
upon 81.
The average person does not throw
his earnings away in large sums. He
wastes 81 here and 81 there in an un-
thinking manner.
When you enter the office of a sue
cessful business man and find the first
dollar he made In his business hang
ing upon the wall in frame you can,
almost invariably, look around and see
great, prosperous establishment.

1t seemed to her that a long. stored

hurt her to see him-hurt her more to
hear him. And in the succeeding few
moments she grew closer to him than
she had ever been in the past. Had
her father and mother done right by
him? Her pulse stirred with unwont ed
quickness, She did not speak. but she
kissed him. which, for her, was an
indication of unusual feeling. And
when he recovered command over his
emotions he made no reference to his
breakdown, nor did she. But that
scene struck deep into Madeline Ham

CHAPTER III


Then Madeline returned to the little
parlor with the brother whom she had
hardly recognized.
"Majesty," he exclaimed. "To think
of your being here"
The warmth stole back along her
veins. She remembered how that pet
name had sounded from the lips of
this brother who had given ii to her
alfred ~
Dear old girl" he said, you
haven't changed at ALL except to grow
lovelier. Only you're a woman now,
and you've fulfilled the name give
you. Cd! how sight Of you brings
back home! 1t seems hundred years
since | left. l missed you more than
all the rest"
Madeline seemed to feel with his ev-
cry word that she was remembering
him. She was so amazed at the change
In him that she could not believe her
eyes. She saw bronzed. strong
jawed, eagle-eyed man, stalwart, su-
belted. booted, spurred. She had bid
den good-by to a disgraced, dsin.
herited, dissolute boy. Well she re-
membered the handsome pale face
with its weakness and shadows and
careless smile, with the ever-present
cigarette hanging between the lips
The years had passed, and now she
saw him man-the West had made
him man. And Madeline Hammond
felt strong, passionate giadness and
gratefulness, and direct check to her
sudden inspired hatred of the West.
Majesty. it was good of you to
come. I'm all broken up. How did
you ever do 1t? But never mind that
now. Tell me about that brother Of
mine"
And Madeline told him, and then
about their sister Helen. Question
after question he fired at her; and she
told him of her mother; of Aunt Grace,
who had died year ago; Of his old
friends, married, scattered, vanished.
But she did not tell him of his father,
for he did not ask.
Quite suddenly the rapid-fire ques-
tioning ceased; he choked, was silent

came a clatter of hoofs. Madeline
looked out over Florence's shoulder
and saw cloud of dust approaching
and in it she distinguished outlines
Of horses and riders A warmth spread
over her. little tingle of gladness.
and the feeling recalled her girlsh
love for her brother. What would
he be like after long years?
Looking out. Madeline saw a bunch
of dusty, wiry horses paving the
gravel and tossing lean heads. Her
swift glance ran over the 1.-THE horse
men, trying to pick out the one who
was her brother. But she could not.
Her glance, however, caught the same
