Should mothers select their daugh-

answer is, ''No." A woman did it in
New York. Her daughter had hus-

Mothers should not select their

SOFT
LETTERS SWEET AND REFRESH


ING.
A soft drink millionaire who won't
be 100 years old for long time yet,
not for 25 years, is being sued for
breach of promise by a young girl
Of 81 summers.
Our expert guess is he wrote those
crazy 'sweetie" letters to her after
tanking up on his soft drinks.
CONTEST.
Princeton professors are seeking
the. six most important words in the
English language.
Just to help them along Dan offers
three valuable prizes: First, onerre-
liable bootlegger's address; second,
nomination for president: third,
good 1923 calendar.
Dan Dobb thinks the six most i'm

has been reduced"
HOME HELPS.
Our government has published a

Jack sprang to his feet. He was
mad with rage. He picked me up
not too gently and set me down in
front Of the wall-safe from which
he had taken the picture which had
always hung over it.
"Open that safe, Leslie!"
I did it reluctantly, and the first
thing that was disclosed was the six
thousand dollars in a roll of bills.
"There," said triumphantly, "you
see it is exactly as she said. She
had put money here instead of TAX
ing it out"
Jack snatched the bills away from
me and hurriedly counted them.
Then, shaking them in my face, he
exclaimed: "Do you for one moment
think that Ruth Ellington could sell
six thousand dollars worth of under
clothes in that messy little shop of
hers in one day? tell you she is
thief. Her husband sent her this
money to pay off his creditors and
he probably has sent her other
money before this which she has
used to put up that shop of hers.
And now she is dragging you into
the mess. tell you, Leslie: right
now l shall put lien on this money
tomorrow and also on the shop, as
sorting that she has used money that
belongs to me.
"I'll send her to prison if neces-
sary."
eff you do this, John Prescott,
will walk out of your house tomor-
row and never look on your face
again." @
"Good God, Leslie, what do you
mean?"
