Her Mistake.

Dear Henry: We've been going
together for the past six months and
during that time you have quarreled
with me continually because you said
I was paying attention to other boys.
When you were angry you wouldn't
speak to me for days and had to beg
you to forgive me. Now 1 have heard
that you've been running around
with other girls. It seems to me that
In justice to myself I must refuse to
have anything more to do with you
unless you make some sort Of ex-
PLANTATION or apology. Unless you
write to me within the week / shall
know that you never want to see me
again. MARION"
A week later: Dear Henry-You
must have received my last letter, and
yet you've done nothing about it. You
don't seem to care what l may be
thinking. Are you angry because /
have taken this high-handed method
Of bringing you to your senses? Well,
you shouldn't be. You've always
treated me this way when you thought
I ought to be punished. However,
am willing to forgive you If you will
call me up and explain.
Four days later: Henry, dear
How can you treat me this way? You
are being thoroughly cruel and. unfair.
I've only tried to make you see just
how I've felt all these months, when
you refused to have anything to do
with me because of your jealousy.
Please write or call or do something.
don't care what you've been doing,
If you'll only let me hear from you
one way or another. Love.
So, of course, Henry came back, and
they went along on the same old basis.
Some people would say that this
squawl had blown over without doing
any harm.
But. as a matter of fact, the brief
skirmish had ended in a defeat for
Marion. She had lost ground by her
action in sending those letters.
Her fatal mistake lay in the fact
that In her first letter she had de-
iivered an ultimatum. She had an
nounced defiantly that she'd never see
him again II he didn't do the right
thing-come along and explain every
thing.
She'd sounded as if she meant it.
And then she had proved that she was
only blufing.
DO you see that by showing him she
cared too much to carry out her
threat she was preparing for many
more surrenders in the years to come?
He realizes that she hadn't the cour-
age to carry out her resolution never
to see him again. And 50, when their
next quarrel Is staged, he won't be
moved by any threats she may make.
He will reflect in a satisfied way that
she can't possibly mean what she
says, she'll surely be the first to give
in.
If Marion didn't mean that she
would never see him again-she
shouldn't have written it. She's low
cred her dignity and confessed an in
ability to follow her chosen course of
action by allowing him to come back
with no word of explanation.
Always be willing to admit you've
been wrong. But don't give in till he's
made some effort to show he's sorry.

HOW 1T STARTED
"Demijohn."
By JEAN NEWTON.

Even in these prohibition days we
are still familiar with the demijohn.
Though 1t may be beverages with
out alcohol content" that we serve,
we do not dispense with the narrow
necked glass container that is called
a "demijohn."
The term Is q correction of the
French words Dame" and Jeanne, -
meaning Lady Jane" 1t had its in
PRODUCTION into our common speech
from the language of the sailor, whose
allotment of rum in the old days was
poured out to him from a large, mar
row-necked container, which may
have been of glass or of earthenware,
and which his colleagues in the French
navy called a Dame Jeanne" which
he appropriated as "demijohn."

Another ENLARGEMENT.

Its for you, Mrs. Dennison." said
Hilda. appearing in the doorway, and
Martha, feeling strangely embarrassed
under Natalie's scrutiny, left the
room.
At the telephone she realized that
her heart was beating wildly. Her
voice shook little as she said
Hello" Somehow she knew that 1t
was Perry even before she heard his
pared for his first words.
I've been thinking about YOU all
day."
Not really" she returned, forcing
a light tone into her voice.
But it's quite true. Perhaps YOU
will dine with me some evening this
week; I am looking forward to hav-
ing another talk with YOU
THAT will be very nice
Very well; what evening would
suit you best?"
"Wednesday?" Martha suggested.
and then wondered at herself for
making the engagement definite. Why
hadn't she cut him off? Why hadn't
she given herself time to think things
ever, to decide what she ought to do?
And yet, she wanted so much to see
him again. 1t was SO deliciously fiat
tering to feel that some one was in
terested in her, that some one actu-
ally enjoyed talking to her. Why
should she feel that 1t was wrong?
Why should her conscience trouble
her so much?
"wednesday it is he was saying
gayly. And thank you very much.
I'll call you up before then to make
definite arrangements"
When Martha returned to the liv-
ing room, Natalie gave a little crow
of delight.

distance there was an unfamiliar look
about those tracks. Farmer Brown
Boy set his pals down and went over
for a good look at this strange trail.
When he got where he could see the
print of each foot his eyes fairly
popped out of his head. Yes, sir,
Farmer Browns Boy was pop eyed.
He couldn't believe that he was seeing
what he knew he was seeing. Those
footprints were like the footprints of
Black Pussy the Cat, but they were
the biggest footprints, excepting those
of Buster Bear, that he ever had seen

So Farmer Browns Boy went back,

sugar house he told Farmer Brown
about those big footprints.

Good Usage in Our Telephone Calls
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

calls up who terminates the talk. The
reason for this is that she Is in the
position of a caller, and as such should
| bring the conversation or call to an
end. While it is not such an obvious
and distinct discourtesy for the WON
an called up to end the call as 1t
would be if she were actually enter
tanning a visitor in her home, never.
theless correct form in, telephone man.
ners is disregarded and a rule of
I.etiquette broken. Therefore, If you
call up a woman remember that you
are expected to end the conversation,
which should be as brief as your mes.
sage will permit. Long telephone con-
versations are bad form.
The WOman's Privilege.
If a woman is conversing with a
man over the telephone, it matters not
which one did the calling up, 1t is
for the woman to bring the talk to an
end. This is her privilege and she
should be careful not to continue the
telephone talk over long. Do not put
him in the unfortunate position OF
having to excuse himself, however
gracefully and tactfully he may be
able to do 1t.
Long telephone conversations are
bad form. Answering the phone bell
is seldom disregarded, but it frequent
ly happens that work has to be STOP
ped to do So. A long interruption is
annoying, especially when duties are
imperative. The one who calls up
may have plenty of time, and have
chosen an opportune moment for him
or her to have a chat. However, it
may be just the reverse is true with
the one called up, who cannot indicate
that this is the case without seeming
to be rude. Deliver a message gra-
ciously If briefly. This is the primary
thing. Then If there are things about
which YOU would like to talk or about
which you would like to hear, tele-
phone etiquette rules that you should
ask if the time is fortunate for a
longer conversation. If the reply is
favorable, the talk may continue for
a longer. If it is not, the person asked
the question should follow up the neg
alive reply by saying she Will call
back later and mention a definite time
when she will do this.
Business Calls.
These are some of the rules that
prevail in telephone etiquette apart
from business calls. These are some
what different. For exampe, while
business should be brief, it should be
clear so that there may not be mis-
understanding. Even when concise,
it may take a little longer to talk
business than pleasure. However,
business people know how to value
time better than other folk, and so
they do not have to be advised to be
brief as do women at home.
We hear a good deal about the voice
with a smile, but it Is worth cultivat-
ing. Telephone service has it's distinct
annoyances, but if you keep pleasant
others are apt to.

cause of the absence of pain during
and Immediately following the opera
ton, the patient seems to recover
more rapidly
The only reason why hypnOtism is
not more generally used is because
It is difficult to get a person SO deeply
under the hypnotic spell as to make
him immune to pain. However, 1t Is
used in many hospitals throughout
the world.
AS to the other benefits to be de.
rived from hypnosis there are many
cases on record.
An actor complained that he was
afraid that he would some time forget
his lines while on the stage and be
forced to give up his work. He was
placed under hypnosis several times,
and while under the spell was assured
he need not fear such a happening.
Soon the fear vanished and he re-
turned to successful stage career.
A girl was successfully cured of
fits of stammering by hypnosis.
All types of hysteric outbursts have
been treated by it with highly salts
factory results.
Sufferers from indigestion, head
aches, nervousness, drug addicts, per-
sons unable to sleep at night, those
who have indescriba.ble fears or who
worry unduly over various matters
persons who fall into any of these
classes have been helped or entirely
cured by HYPNOSIS. These cases, to be
found in the medical records, testify to
cures by hypnotism.

The Weekly Manicure.

Make your weekly manicure thor
ough and you need spend only two or
three minutes a day on your nails to
keep them in beautiful condition.
First of all. get your implements
ready for use-a long steel file. an
orange-wood stick, a bleach, a bowl
of warm soapy water, a little cold
cream, polishing powder, your buffer
and something to clean under the
nails.
Begin by filing the nails to a mod.
erately pointed oval. Then hold one
hand in the bowl of water until the
cuticle around the nail Is soft-about
five minutes or less Is sufficient time.
Clean under each pail and smooth the
ends with a strip Of emery board, for
the steel file leaves odd bits OF the
skin Of the nail.
If possible, simply push back the
cuticle around the nails with the blunt
end of an orange-wood stick. Cutting
Is supposed to be bad, cuticle solvents
are drying, although each method has
advantages, and neither is harmful II
properly done. If the cuticle shows
much, remove it by which ever meth
cd suits your convenience. Then slip
the curved blades of the manicure
