LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO
BEATRICE GRIMSHAW.
MY DEAR BEATRICE:

MY DEAR BEATRICE:
1t was very sweet of you to write
me that, long letter and l hasten to
answer it.
am enclosing Aliee's last letter
from England, as l think you will
enjoy it. Will you please return it
to me, because, although / have read
it to Leslie, / do not think she was
able to enjoy it as she will later.
: Poor Leslie, Beatrice. has been and
is still very i'll. We have not been
able to interest her in anything. 1t
is such grief to her that she lost her
baby. =
Leslie, you know. is one of the old
fashioned girls as far as children are
concerned. She always declared she
was going TO have large family. In
some way she seemed to feel, how
ever-we have learned since the acct
dent-that Jack did not care for chill
dren.
This is mistaken idea. Jack loves
children. Any way she had not told
him of the baby that was coming.
Consequently, after the accident its
loss was much harder for her to bear
than if she and Jack had talked over
its coming.
We have just about come to the
conclusion that it will be necessary to
adopt a baby. Anyway, l am going
to try and find one tomorrow and
bring it over to the Convalescent
Homo, where We have taken Leslie.
and see how it affects her. We are
doing this as last resort, because
if this does not flip her interest
the doctor tells us he will despair Of
doing anything for her.
Ny dear, it is rather selfish of me
to burden you with Leslie's troubles
just when you have decided to marry
that young man of yours. Even
though you should have as hard a
time as Leslie is having, i could rot
wish you not to marry. OF course
Leslie thinks now that she is the
unhappiest woman on earth, but she
will look back upon it. when time
has given her the right perspective.
as a part of her destiny. and prob
ably she will say that it was all for
the best after all.
You know when was n very
young woman I lost boy baby. Al
the time I thought l would never
get over il, but now it seems only an
unpleasant dream-but dream from
which I awakened to n closer COM
panionship with, and a closer devotion
to. my husband. / learned to appre-
eiate our "oneness". at that time.
If could only make Jack and
!. Leslie talk over the loss of their
child. I am sure everything would

"C0URTING" COSTS A LOT
MORE NOW THAN IN THE
% "GOOD OLD DAYS"

1t costs more to get the girl now
than it did in the good old days"
The cost of "courting". has risen in
common with all other necessities, and
today, the man who seeks a maid for
a life partner must face the alterna-
tive of spending a lot of money or hav-
ing trouble in making the deal.
Once the cost of counting was IN
significant. a few dollars spent in
buggy rides, a box of candy now and
then land candy in those days did
not cost a dollar poundD, an occa-
sional glass of soda water of the foamy
kind. aud some lemonade at the COM
munity picnic generally sufficed to
bring the matrimonial deal to the
point where Il ten-dollar ring would
be the only thing lacking.
The girl of today who would let her
self be courted and won on SO ex-
pendture would be an object of pity
TO her sister flappcrs. The figure now
would run into the hundreds and then
the cirl would be counted bargain
if the youth was sufficiently in love
TO throw economy TO the winds.-An-

Mans False Pride Keeps Woman Down
BY GEORGE BRITT.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-There's one
woman preacher, active pastor of n
church, whose husband is a travelling
salesman.
There's another whose husband is
a steady and prosperous mechanic.
A third has husband who also is
a preacher, and on Sundays they go
their separate ways TO nearby towns
to serve their own congregations.
But such cases are rare. The rea-
son, according to Miss NJ. Madeline
Southland of Winfield, Kan, president
of the international Association of
Women Preachers, is mans false
pride. The association just held its

"a man is afraid someone will con-
slider him merely as the husband of
so-and-so,' says Miss Southland. 1T
is all right for a wife to take in wash
ing or be bound to the duties of her
household. But many a woman of
beauty and talent is kept back sim
ply because her husband cannot go
the same pace with her."
Miss Southland is not complaining,
and she isn't discouraged. The min
istry as a calling for women is still
young. She will tell you there are
only about 100 women preachers of
all denominations in the United
States.
