Advice on Bridge Tolls
1t may be, says news dispatch
from South Jersey. that the attorneys
general of New Jersey and Pennsylva-
mia will be asked for opinions on the
question of tolls on the new Camden
Philadelphia bridge. The question is
one on which a wide diversity of
views is held in the two states.
T. Harry Rowland, counsel for the
New Jersey members of the Joint
Bridge Commission, is preparing a
summary of the law involved, and
counsel for the Pennsylvania is en-
gagged in a similar task. Philadelphia
is very much opposed to the tolls.
Pennsylvania is inclined to take the
view that the clause in the referen-
dunn calling for discharge of jerseys
$8,000,000 bond issue by toll revenue
can be repealed. The power, it is
held, rests with the legislature.
Against this contention is the claim
Of opponents who declare that the
state is solemnly obligated to the peo-
pie and must insist on the collection
of tolls or break faith. An amend
ment could be voted. according to
their view, only with the consent and
approval of the electorate-in other
words. a second referendum.

 ready to sacrifice themselves for their families, as there ever were in mothers time, or your grandmother's, or your great-grandmother's When God made the first woman's heart He established pattern from which there has been very little variation in all the ages.
 It is beautiful for a man to idealiZe his mother and set her up as a model of what he wants his wife to be. But, as matter of fact, if he found his mothers understudy she wouldn't ap- peal to him. He'd find her old-fash- toned and narrow, and his ideas would not jibe with hers, and he would con- slider her very much of a lemon.
 The man who wants to marry a wom- an like his mother thinks that women were more modest in mothers day. Not bit of it. They had more prudery Mother spoke of the limbs of a piano Every play she went to see was care fully expurgated. No nice girl was supposed to know that there was such thing as sex. She thought evil of thousand things we think no evil of now.
 The frankness G today has got ten times as much modesty and clean ness in it as had the subterfuge of yesterday. The vital facts of life are not indecent. It is only the vul- gar attitude toward them that makes them so, and the girls of today with their legs, and their arms, and their stomachs. and their open discussion of formerly taboo subjects. are just as modest as their grandmothers were.
 You often hear men condemn the present fashions and say that they wish girls would dress as sensibly as their mothers did. Get out the old photograph album and take a look at mothers wasp waist, and big hustle, and huge sleeves, and mi crobe-catching skirts, and see if you don't think that the modern girls clothes has got mothers backed off the fashion plate.
 Perhaps the young man wants tC marry a girl who will make as, thrifty and economical a wife as mother was Let him go to it. Girls never were as efficient in the world as they are now Any little girl who has taken a do nestle science course can hold her OwT with mother in cooking and marketing and getting a hundred cents out of q dollar And, in addition, most of them can make their own living to boot.
 Remember this: It took mother about 40 years to learn to be the kind of wife you admire so much. Give some girl chance at the job and she will qualify in the expert class too. DOROTHY DIN.

Beauty T Talks

Sixteen-The only treatment for premature gray hair which can con scientiously advocate is a gray hair re. storer put out by a noted firm of chem ists. You are n very wise girl not to use dyes or stains. Your sister should take an abundance of foods eOntaining minerals, such as whole wheat bread, green egetables-steamed,n not boiled and the water used for soups or other drinks, as this extract contains the major part of the minerals in the vege- tables. If you are stout from your hips to your knees, the best form of exercise for you is swimming, next to that the movements of bicycling. You should three times each day. and also walk from two to five miles daily.
 Worried-My advice to you is to go to an expert hair specialist and let him color your hair with q natural vegetable stain. There are very few men who do this work. Do not cOn- tinue to bleach your hair and do not use sthe preparation you mention. Bleaching is utterly destructive in time and the second method will give you no satisfaction and will also be unbe- coming.
 I scarcely think the use of powder can have caused the pit marks you speak of, although heavy powders have a tendency to coarsen the skin. The daily use of meal mixture has a very refining effect, and suggest. this to you before you attempt anything more strenuous.

It suits me just as well,' she said. "We'n go to Newport for your vaca- tion and if I am enjoying myself I'll stay on.'
 "I may not have any vacation" That would be too bad. You really need one, I never saw you look so seedy.. But shah go. I couldn't endure the city all summer. Every one away-and nothing to do.'
 "There are the roof gardens and other cool and attractive spots: think you could servive,' I said, more an- noyed at the expression on her mother face than at Natalie.
 Just because you think it necessary to remain with your relative is no req son Natalie should punish herself by staying in the hot city, Mrs. Brooks remarked in acid tones.
 Perhaps Diana Lowell will remain in town to attend to her affairs. If she does you won't lack company. Ned said you were very much absorbed in each other"
 was too angry to reply, not because felt the least guilty, but because ot Natalie's tone which was almost in sulting. Diana had been right. Ned had lost mo time in making his report.

 Undoubtedly drily responded.
 Desperately I wished to wake Nata- lie up; her inconsequence, her indif- ference was driving me wild. Was il only a matter of time until her utter indifference would change into active dislike of me, perhaps into love for some one else? The thought filled me with such black despair and :sCalous rage that I felt like doing something violent.

 That is the tribute leading womeh's organizations pay to their master par. liamentarianMiss Mary Garrett Hay of New York city. Miss Hays expert knowledge of parliamentary procedure, indicated in women's meetings in the last 20 years, iustifies the tribute. For many years Miss Hay has been adyis- ing presiding officers just when ito table" ticklish questions, and just when "out of order' may be tactfulIy and appropriately used.
 So it will be an old job to Miss Hay when she assumes the duties of official parliarnentarian for the convention of of the National League of Women Voters. in Buffalo, April 24-29. She is as accurately informed as Roberts Rules of Order itself. -
 Miss Hay is one ofA the several women leaders in the national league who owe their political bent to their fathers. Dr. Andrew J. Hay of Char leston, Ind: knew all the men in poli- tics who were worth knowing, and as soon as his daughter was old enough to "come to the table, she, too, began to know them.s She was an, attentive listener at political meetings when she was very little girl, and before she . was out of her teens her college mates at Western college, Oxford, O., clearly saw in her the qualities of tremend- ously forceful leader.
 Miss Hay, who gave up her leader ship of the New York City League of Women Voters after fourteen years service, has had the honor of leading many other important organizations. She is now president of the Women's City club of New York city former president of the Daughters of Indiana |; q former president of the New York State Federation of Women's clubs, a former member of the New York state republican executive committee, and is also a member of the Daughters of American Revolution.

 T wonder. chow much Natalie has stuck me fof this month";. I said aloud as commenced to open the envelopes.
 My whistle caught in my throat. What did it mean? All she and her mother had bought was charged to me. Dresses, coats, hats for Mrs. Brooks, even lingerie all billed in my name. It was outrageous Had they been at all economical 1t would have been bad enough but this lavish ex- penditure--dresses from the FEDich modiste, hats from the same shop that Natalie bought her own, shoes from an exclusive bootery on the Avenue. l would not pay for them.
 I thought of the remark I had made when first married-that I hadn't mar ried the family. This looked very much as if I had. I folded the bills, put them in an envelope, marked it "Mrs. Brooks" and put it into my pocket. I drew checks for Natalie's personal ex- penditures, which were but little less than usual, then tried to forget all about the others. It might be that Natalie had them sent to me because her mother had no charge accounts in New York.

old, and am a widower with one son who has just been married. He is my one tie. I am devoted to him and have bought him q beautiful home, and 1av- ished every luxury upon him.
 am now left alone, and find it a very unsatisfactory way to live. have been attentive to a young lady and have asked her to marry me, which she has consented to do, but my son objects to it and thinks that l should remain single.
 Now, I want my boy, and 1 want to marry the girl. as I probably have many years to live and need the com panionship this marriage will bring me. How can I make my son see my point of view, and make him willing to be friendly with the girl?
 |, Answer: Unless your son is ut terly selfish and lacking in affec- ton for you, ! should think that all that you would have to do would be to have real frank heart-to-heart talk to him about the situation. Ger tainly, after your generosity to him in doing everything to promote his happiness, he could not be ingrate enough to stand in the way of your happiness.
 You are absolutely right in get ting married again and securing to yourself not onfy-spmpanionship for your full middle years, but for your old age. For no other human being is so helpless and forlorn as q lone ly old man with no one to bear him company, no one to care for his com fort, none but hired hands to nurse him when he is sick. Surely, if your son has ever observed lonely old men batting around clubhouses and liv- ing in hotels, he can not wish that fate upon you.
 You are right to establish your own home. 4 man who has been at the head of his own house is never happy as more or less welcome guest in oth CT peoples houses, not even if they art his children's homes. A man who has had his own home, and been accus toned to home cooking and home ways is miserable without them.
 At 54 a man is still a young man. He has the most enjoyable part of his life before him for the next 20 years. His fortune is made. He has come to the playtime of his life, and he needs playmate. Tell your son that, and that if he did not wish you to marry he should have stayed single and played with you As he didn't, you have a right to pick out pal for yourself. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Dorothy Dix-Don't you think after man has broken his engagement to a girl who has loved and trusted him that she is entitled to the ring? think that the man should be punished in some way, and as he is tightwat he will take it pretty hard. Is ther, any way he could force me tt giye it up? DIsILLusIoNED LITTLE CoUN
 TRY GIRL.
 Answer: presume you can keep the ring if you want it, inasmuch as the man is breaking the engagement. But why do you want reminder of your false loSer's perfidy? I should think that every instinct of deli cacy would make you want to send it back to him as quickly as possi- ble. Certainly you have no reason for bemoaning the loss of man who was tightwad. DOROTHY DIX.
