and he said"
There, dear, it isn't in good taste
for you TO discuss you sister with any
one," Mrs. Dangerfield said warningly.
In her heart she was disposed to agree
with June. She loved Muriel with all
mothers love, but she was not blind

characteristics that would make for
happiness with a nature like Bruce's'

Bruce did not hear her speak, Muriel ac-

wouldn't forget her for a kid"
Bruce'S eyes opened wide and she
realized that he did not understand that
she had made a blunder to speak as
she had. She pleaded feeling i'll as
an excuse and he was all sympathy at
once.
"Shes a delicate little thing" he
said. IN have TO be awfuly care
full of her."
Mr.. Dangerfield finally succeeded in
finding Bruce position in a fairly
large town, some distance away. A
friend of his had an insurance and real
estate business and fortunately just
then had an opening in his office for a
bright young man."

Il hope they won't paddle it on the
rocks" Muriel's mother answered.
Bruce is so gay, so full OF life, and
Muriel is-so inclined TO be jealous.
She seemed rather glad his father was
angry. She told me she'd rather go
without his money than have Bruce
talking about him all the time and per
haps having to leave her alone TO be
with him."

Can you look into camera and await
the result with equanimity? Or have
you made up your mind that there's no
use trying-yon can't take a good
photograph"
Most people belong in the latter
classification.
Now, is it fact that even a tip-to2
photographer can't do certain sitters
justice?
Ira 4. Hill and Prize Macdonald have
something TO say on the subject.
The former has photographed most OF
the women Of New York's HOO and

The latter Specializes on men as sit.

Get the idea out of every little Gin

The plea is Woodward Boyd's.
She embodies it in THE Love Lc.

find mothers rearing their daughters in
this old belief.
"The girl thinks all she, has to do
is sit and wait.

She'll accept no man who fails to mea,

"Or, if she marries, she feels from the
first that she's being cheated. Her
husbands handicapped at the weary
start"
Mrs. Boyd is mother herself She's
not bringing her daughter up to except
a future Prince Charming. "If l did"
she adds, "she wouldn't be happy until
he materialized. and, as he wouldn't in
case she accepted someone else, she
might make him and herself unhappy,
because he failed TO match up"
