only love that puts the happiness of the beloved ones above its own: that gives all and asks nothing.
 To prove that. Sweetheart, you have only to realize that mother. is going to give the one who is the very heart of her heart to you, and is rejoicing in the sacrifice because it will be for his good and make him happier. You couldn't do that. You couldn't give him to another woman if he happened to love her better than he does you
 You may say that the man will love his mother none the less after he mar ries you. But the mother will have given him up, just the same. He will go away from her to live. Another woman will be first in his heart and thoughts. He will no longer depend on his mother. She will not be neces- sary to him any more. To degree every mother loses her son when he marries. and yet every mother who truly loves her son gladly makes the sacrifice of giving him up so that he may establish his own home. because she knows that it is best for him.
 Mother love endures all things, and
 
 bands who are unkind to them. who are immoral, drunken, who commit crimes and disgrace them. but the mother clings to the prodigal son, no matter what he does, nor how cruelty he mis- uses her. And there are more mothers than wives that wait outside of peni- tentiary doors to welcome home the criminals who have served their terms.
 in l1... husbands best. who are most patient and self-sacrificing and faithful, there Is more of the maternal love than there is the wife love. It is the mother love that has outlasted the sweetheart love.
 DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix-Am contemplating a little trip upon the matrimonial seas, but, considering my present salary, am uncertain as to the advisability of such an act. l have given the matter care full consideration of late-wondering and wondering whether or not a young man receiving $50 per month should make such contract, and If advisable. whether or not he should rent an apart ment, board or rent room and eat in restaurants.
 UNDECIDED. Answer: Unless the girl has money or good job at which she will con- tinue to work after marriage, you will certainly do a foolhardy thing to un- dertake matrimony on $50 month.
 Write to one of the housekeeping magazines or ask bank for budget showing the least that two persons can live upon. how much for rent how much for food, etc. And when you fig ure it out,you will find that you could barely exist on that income.
 There would be no happiness for you in an existence in which you were bounded by the bill collector and lived in perpetual fear of losing your job. So l earnestly entreat you not to get married until you can afford it. It does not take riches to marry on, but it does take enough money to get a decent place to live in and enough food to eat
 A young couple should board if the wife keeps on at her job. Otherwise, they should keep house.

FAMOUS WOMEN
Duchess of E'nntanres
sy SUSAN 3. ANTHoNN

Marie Angelique, Duchess of Fon- tanges, was the successor to Mime. Mon- tespan, in the affections of Louis XIV. 'She was bea utiful as an angel. but silly as goose" said the Abbe Choisi of her. As soon as she had discovered that she had thoroughly captivated the monarch she became naughty and extravagant, spending at times as much as one hun dred thousand crowns month. She be- came the general dispenser of the king s favors, and the model of fashion. Made a. duchess by the king, she did not long enjoy the rank and honors. as she died at the age of 20, in the Convent of Port Royal, at Paris.

save the money to buy q home. l realize that it is good to sa ve, for old age, but we haven't any too much money so our saving will be slow and we will be de- nied almost all of the joys of life.

70 you not think that we might en- JOY ourselves for about a year or two and then start to save? t
 DISCONTINUED WIFE. l Answer: Thrift is one of the virtues I that, if overdone, may become A vice. And certainly it is not wise to deny oneself every pleasure and comfort as one goes along in order to lay up money to be enjoyed in the future. Moderation in all things is the golden rule, and any sensible young couple should budget their income. and decide what is fair percentage of it to save and what to spend on pleasure.
 Your idea. Discontented Wife. of blowing in all that you make on pleas- ure for few years and then begin nns to save is one that has been adopted by millions of people before you. And 1t has led every one of them to the poorhouse. For the time to be- gin to save is right now. this very day and hour, not in the future. Those who put it off until tomorrow never lay up a dollar for a rainy day. There is always something alluring to buy or or to do on which they spend it. Your theory is that people should spend their money when they are young and enjoying themselves. Wrong. Youth is the time to save, because youth of itself is joy enough, and finds amusement in everything. When you are young you do not need much money, but when you are old you need it desperately You need it to buy physi- cal comforts. You need it to buy politeness and consideration from other people. No fate is so desolate as that of poor old men and women who are dependent on people who do not want them about.
 i A very wise old man once told me that year after the marriage of any young couple he could forteIl their destiny. He said that if, in that first year, they. had saved up even so little asa liuntfred dollars and had started savings account, that they would go on to prosperity. and by the time they were middle-aged they would be among the substantial people of the commun- lty. If, however, on the first ami versary of their wedding day they had saved nothing. they would be one of the couples who live from hand to mouth all of their lives, and in their old age are dependent on their children. So, Discontented Wife. I entreat you to see how wise your husband is. and to join him lcheerfully in trying to save to get ahead. It pays to do without few things now in order to have lux uries later on.

MY NEIGHBOR SAYS:

The usefulness of window-sash cord can be heightened by periodical ap- plication of tallow or lard. Throw up the window and grease the cord with slightly-heated tallOw candle. Then shut the window and apply the same process to the rest of the cord. If tal- low candles are not to be had. pure lard should be aplied sparinsly. On no account use fat with salt. Salt rots the cord quicker than the dampness
 When buying goods for suit or coat inquire if it has been sponged If not this must be attended to before cut ting, or every spot of water will leave disfiguring mark. If caught in a shower the ma terial will not only spot, but the skirt may shring an inch or two.
 The unsightly ring left by cleaning fluids when used for removing spots, may be avoided by placing under the spot a pad made of thick, absorbent cotton.
 When boiling fowls oA fish add to the water the juice of half of lemon. This will make them beautifully white.
