Unhappy for Mother

Dear Martha Lee: I am a girl IL years
old. have a darling mother, who would
sacrifice her life for us. But she lie un-
Dad has been hauling girls around in his
machine. Since he has been doing that he
does not treat US the same. He never kisses
mother good-by any more and she cries
after he is gone. He never gives her any
money to get herself anything. and II she
gets anything for herself she works for 1t
NV mother Is pretty lots prettier than any
girl who would try to take her place.
It's funny girls hang around after mar
ried men. Is II because the single fellow
will not go with them, or is It like tho old
maid In my story book 20 Lord send me
anything in psntsf" Please tell me what
to do. 1 cannot bear 70 see mother un-
happy. SPUDS.
Your story book seems to express
quite clearly the plea Of some girls.
Then, sometimes, dear, girls mean no
harm when they hang around
married men, and are just misunder.
stood.
OF course you want your mother to
be happy Why not tell your father
go? Tell him how pretty you think
your mother is, and how unhappy he
is making her.
And then see whether you cannot
help your mother wipe away the
tears which certainly will not help
her keep her prettiness. Tell her
how much you and your father like
&c see her smiling. think you can
do much TO help, little girl.
Now don't let this make you I'M
happy Grownups have their troubles
just as little folk do. and they get
ever them.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN
PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY
CARTON

sgd, old man, you certainly are In
for it now. I don't know by what
hokus-pokus Leslie has come to the
conclusion that John Alden Prescott
Jr. is your child. But the fact re-
mains she thinks you are that babY's
father.
Can you beat it? If what you
think is true, and what 1 am begin
ming to believe more and more each
Gay that the baby is mine and little
Perier's, all have to say Is greater
love than this hath no man." that he
take upon himself the parentage OF
bis friends child.
Up a Stump
Honestly, Sgd. don't know what
TO do. 1 can't help this thing in any
way. 1 tried to dissuade Leslie from
1t and she Immediately closed her
lips, but l could see by the express
sion in her eyes that she still held to
her theory.
What was it. old man, that you
said that first night here that would
give her that impression2 She Ger
tainly got It from something you said
yourself and the worst part Of It al
ia I think she would rather almost
anybody would be the father of that
oaby than you. Isn't that just like
a woman?
She hasn't told me a word about
that thousand dollars that you pinned
inside the baby's GOAT and although
I think this is very strange I don't
dare ask her about 1t. Lord, Sgd
am in the devil OF a fix. II ]
didn't love the little imp so much ]
think I should hate him. He keeps
me all the time trying to skirt around
things. The most innocent subjects
q conversation become human docu
ments which point toward you as a
gay Lothario who has deceived some
poor girl when. IL the truth were
known. you are innocent. AS far as
the deceiving is concerned even II
the kid belongs TO me. little Perter
was never deceived. She is quite as
much to blame for his advent into
the world as am I and think she
would be the first to acknowledge
that fact.
Paula Coming to Town
Have you heard from her lately?
She Is advertised at one Of the NOV
ing picture houses next week in
'Trumping His Heart" The town
is quite 'het up" over it. Every
body remembers her and not a few OF
the men are digging me in the ribs as
they ask me If I am going to give
theater party.
or course L know that there was
always more or less talk about Paula
and myself, but you are the only
person in all the world outside Of US
who really knows the facts. l want
to see that picture. sgd. and yet I'm
afraid to go with anyone. I'm afraid
to go alone for fear some one will see
me sinking in or out. and I am afraid
to stay away.
AS I said before. I'm In a devil of a
fix.

SULPHUR IS BEST TO
CLEAR UP UGLY Skin

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
says a noted skin specialist. Because
CT its germ destroying properties,
nothing has ever been found to take
the place OF this sulphur preparation
that instantly brings ease from the
itching, burning and irritation.
Eentho-Sulphur heals eczema right
up. leaving the skin clear and smooth.

AS she grows up, the vision becomes
somewhat dimmed, with contact with
the world. But still the girl thinks
of the hero who will ask for her hand
some day. Then she sees herself
ideally happy, forever after"
But what about the little girls who
are reared in homes where divorce
either has entered or is just around
the corner? No number of fairy tales
can put out of their minds the reality
of an unhappy home. Unconsciously
they absorb the mlstrust Of humanity
that always is evident in a broken
home. They grow up cynical, skepti-
cal of men and marriage.
Every girl is entitled to her fairy
prince dream. No mother or father
has a right to rob his daughter Of
her ideals.

Will Provide Social Center
EPISCOPAL CHURCH WILL BUILD
A GUILD HALL SOON TO BE A
SOCIAL CENTER

Looking over the field in Eagle
River, one, at once is impressed with
the need for some kind of Community
house or social center, where the
young people, especially, may have the
opportunity for dancing and other
suitable amusements.
The Vicar and Ladies Guild and Yes
try of the Episcopal Church have de-
cided to build a Guild HAL in the
immediate future which will meet the
need referred to, among others. A
sketch of such building will be ex-
amined tonight Wednesday, and
plans and specifications by compet-
ent architect will be ordered. Ground
next to the church will be broken,
just as soon as weather permits.
The Church, like it's Divine Master
holds to the sanctity of the natural
life. The play element in human ma
ture is just as sacred as any other
natural power in man. From the
later adolescence period on, boys and
girls are attracted to each other by a
divine law of their being, and it is
our sacred duty as citizens of this
community to see that the young peO-
pie have an opportunity to meet to
gether from time to time for dancing
and other amusements, and. social
joys under the cleanest and most
wholesome conditions.
