Worried Brother

Dear Miss Lee: 1 am fond brother
of girl is years old. who is my only
inspiration. Our father is dead. We
both thought we had the most wonder
ful mother in the world, until yesterday.
She told Us she was going TO take some
man into our home as a boarder.
Last night my sister started to pack
a suit case. She told me the man mother
was going 10 take into the house
man who had given her insults. Finally
I got her quiet.
heard her crying out, and went into her
room and stopped her from drinking the
contents OF bottle.
Mother said: I won't take that man
into our home / wasn't going to, any
Nv sister said: "Oh. mother. If you
love him take him in. but I want to
go home TO my own dear father
was always merry. but now she acts as
II she would he punished If she said
anything She will not go to a doctor
/ am afraid she ia going to have nerv-
GUS breakdown What can | do for her /:
FOND BROTHER.
Your sisters trouble is a mental
not physical one. She is brood
ing over her imagined sorrows.
What she needs is an interest in
something besides herself.
Does she love you as much as you
love her? Then show her how much
you need her. Go to her for ad-
vice. Show her how much you want
her. Take her out frequently. Have
your mother do the same thing.
You must treat her with the greatest
care. Force her to get her thoughts
away from herself by giving her
many other things to think about.

At the Cross Roads

Dear Miss Lee: l am d girl 1S years
old, high school graduate. I want to
take position this fall but my parents
object strenuously They say a girl
should stay at home and fit herself for
marriage. My father is afraid that if
start earning my own money and make
good. I may not be willing to give up a
good position to get married. He be-
lieves a womans place is in the home. "
Mother thinks l should just cook and
sew. / know how to do these things now.
and l want to earn some money. My
parents are fairly well off but l could
use some extra money. What do you
think? MARIE.
l think business training is the
best sort of training for marriage.
In an office, a girl can learn as much,
frequently more, about managing a
husband and a home, than going to
parties and learning to cook and sew
OF course, it is well to master the
arts Of cooking and sewing, too, be-
fore marriage.
AS for your being unwilling to give
up a good position-your parents
need not worry, when you fau in

G. W.
Certainly you should tell some
one. as it is quite evident you can
not have peace with this hanging
over your head. Whether or not YOU
should tell the whole family, or just
the one closest to you depends on
the circumstances. 1t is plain to
see that you have paid for your
Joke" II making it public would
do no good, and would only cause an
old wound to be reopened, see no
good reason for telling it in that
way.

Such drastic measures hardly
would meet with general approval.
Nevertheless. this girl had the right
idea.
The girl who has supported her
self for few years knows the value
of her husbands earnings. She
knows, too, how toy spend wisely.
She sees marriage as a real part
nership. in which she must do her
share to advance the family for
tunes.
Furthermore she has learned some
thing about system, so that she
can organize her household work
much as her business was organized.
Size has fought the battle of
success herself, and so she is
equipped to help another fight it.

she, more than others, owed gifts
to little fellows like BERTHE Groom.
She ought to go out of her way
to help them. 4 +,
Only last Christmas she had
awakened early and in the mirror
opposite her bed saw the black
lines under her eyes; saw her
nostrils pipched. She had gone
down to the river. 1t was brown
and heavy with mud. Then
Wilde whined and jumped up to
lick her face because she cried
Only last Christmas Now
this week there were other girls
In the world going through the
same anguish. Even in the ma
ternity ward was one.
This ward had about 1t a sunny.
festive air. The supervisor, In
Chickie's opinion, was a most
lovely person and acted as though
alltf the babies were her own.
She bought name cards for all
the Christmas babies, They were
pictures of the little Christ-child
and were tied with red ribbons to
the baskets. There was a card
like that on Fan Toys child.
Fan Toy was a Chinese girl
who looked like doll with her
black, shiny hair wound in a
braid about her head. She was
well educated and, well raised.
but her father had disowned her
now.
She lay hour after hour with
her long, pointed fingers covering
her face. The nurses were kind
to Fan Toy. Bu: all she ever said
was this-swiftly: What am
going to DOR
The ( same panic-the same
deadly fear. Answered now for
Chickie. An infinite kindness al
lowed her to join this bright
legion; to become a part of this
vivid, many-sided life.
She felt that it would add to
her interest-to her fervor. She
was carriage nurse now, and
wheeled the table with all the
instruments about the ward when
the doctors made their rounds.
David Rarnm came every morn
ing. He had strong, slender
hands Chickie watched them.
Every finger seemed alive. She
watched him when he stopped
down; when his quiet eyes became
tense. He always seemed moving
in a magnetic enthusiasm that
was bright and that the patients
felt.
Once there was a girl-very
young, very pretty-who had
been knocked down by an automO-
bile. Her face was horribly torn.

The doctor labored over her
mouth as though he was bound
to turn 1t out a work Of art.
But the girl had an linking
that she was hopelessly disfigured.
She didn't cry about it, but her
eyes haunted Chickie.
One morning DR.. David stopped
down and said to her. We'll be
all right, Susie. We did a good
job. Well be able to smile as
sweet as ever"
The girls eyes filled with the
funniest tears--half laughing,
ChiclSie wanted to say: oh
you're glorious--do SO much good
make people look like that!"
He happened TO glance at
Chiclkie then; saw her dark eyes
dewy, uplifted-a rapt smile on
her face. He turned quickly to
the next bed.
One afternoon toward the end
of January Chiclie was waiting
at the corner for Wilde. She
often called him over the phone
now and he always came. Today
there was a small box tied to his
collar-one of those brown boxes
with two enormous chocolates in
them. This was q little trick Of
Jonathan's.
AS Chickie united the box and
Wilde waited for his share some
one passed, saying with a laugh:
"Give us a bite?" It was DIR.

the dog.
who is it? Wonderful fellow,
isn't hep"
Indeed, he is. And he's mine.
Jake gave him to me. He's the
very best friend / have"
"Who-Jake or the dog?"
Both"
so? L suppose you're going
over to Jake's party next Satur-
day."
He glanced down sharply: II
thought you'd be there. Why
not?'
She laughed uneasily: "Oh-be.
ing as I'm a woman with a pur-
pose. / don't step about much or
high"
Don't you take any recrea-
tion?'
HONE and a dog has lots OF
good times"
You like theaters, I suppose?"
"Yes-somewhat."
He gave her questioning look:
might we go together some night
next week, Miss Bryce?"
She flushed: ''Well-well-I'd
like it. I better not. We're to
have a quiz Oh, ] think l
better keep to my rule, and that
says I'm not to go out nights
ever
She felt very pale saying this
and half feared to glance at
him. He said in puzzled way:
That's very remarkable"
A few weeks after this incident
Jake came to take her for ride.
As they walked down the long
corridor DR.. David came toward
them.
