NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

Epidemic Of Romance

Epidemic Of Romance
TUE seers have prophesied
= renaissance Of romance, a re-
vfval of love. and a positive cpl
demic of marriage!
Oh, glad and glorious news! Oh,
beautiful soIace to the hearts OF
bored and restless women who
are tired of pocket-flask senti-
nlent, and weary OF being kissed
and forgotteni
And whether you believe the
seers and the stars or not. there
are signs in the air. everywhere!
Sure as your grandmother rolls
her hose and hobs her hair. Ro-
nance is coming back!
For a whole year boarding.
school girls have been letting
their hair grow long. These

crowning glory" are getting a
thrill out of it. 1t gives them
a kick" to picture themselves as
right in the class with Guinevere,
Lady Godiva, and the Princess
Lettuce! Sign number one!
Sign number two-the revival
of poetry. More poetry Is being
written, and read, today, than at
anytime in the last decade; and
slender volume Of verse is one of
the springs best sellers. Poetry is
crystallized romance!
Sign number three--the recent
Carnival OF Imagination, staged
in New York with such brilliant
success.
Imagination is the breath.of-
life to romance. But in our mad
passion for facts" sophistication,
and stark cold truth" we have
tions. They have almost died Of
starvation and lack Of exercised
Sign number four--the decline
and fall of sex novels, and sexy
magazines. Too much sex-talk and
not enough idealistic LOVE has
been the greatest enemy to ro-
nance.
Sex, like hunger. is a part Of
life. But we don't glorify glut-
ton. We don't write novels about
chokes or spring onions! Why
glorify man with a passion for
petting? Sex Is OUT, as popu.
lar topic of discussion "out"
as ping-pong and -bonnets!
The only enemy to romance that
is still feebly struggling for
existence il the LAKELAND. And,
the Lord willing, this too shall
pass away!
Music is the soul of romance!
But you can't expect mans
pulse to thrill to the blare of a
saxophone, .-or his heart to beat
at the jangle of cow-bell or the
shrek of whistle. Sweet and

Harmful Gossip.

The other day I burst in on a. tea
party where six or seven girls were
gathered together, talking in hushed,
excited voices.
They were discussing the latest
murder trial. So tense was their in
terest they hardly glanced up when 1
blew in.
Of the principal speaker, a young lady
to secure a ticket to one of the court
sessions where the two unfortunate
human beings accused of murder
were being tried for their lives.
Gosh" explained Peggy with some
satisfaction. as the principal speaker
finished, II wish I could have gone.
1t must have been gorgeous fun"
She was all enthusiasm. Her eyes
snapped, and her cheeks glowed with
excitement.
II read every word I can find,"
Gloria assured us. Especially the
parts about the feelings of the Grim.
inals. l love 20 read about their
breaking down and having Mysteries,
and looking miserable and all that
sort of thing"
No, these dear girls weren't arch.
fiends, calmly watching the torture
of fellow men. They were just nice,
innocent young things who loved to
gossip bit about those awful, awful
people who had done such a dreadful
thing.
well, there's no harm in it, Mimi"
Peggy objected defantly, as l pitched
into them with right good will.
No harm in it" No harm in delight
over the eXcruciating suffering of two
misguided creatures? No harm in
the keenest interest in all the sordid
details of the. miserable lives?
No harm in turning their minds
constantly to the contemplation of an
ugly deed done in an ugly manner?
Why, those poor saps didn't know
what harmful occupation they were
indulging in. Girls who gossip con.
tinually about all the horrible things
human nature is capable of are set
ting their minds into very muddy
grooves.
They're learning to live with ugly
thoughts. And ugly thoughts are
very bad life companions.
There is such Il thing as having an
obsession for horrors. And that OBJ
session can. twist and distort your
brain until you're an entirely different
person.
You may not realize that change in
yourself. but it will be apparent to
other people. You'll be known after
while as a horror specialist-as the
girl who always knows all the ghastIv
details of every crime committed.
And your own state of mind--oh.
what that will become! You'll he
afraid Of your own shadow. You'll
see danger lurking in every corner.
Terror will stalk through your life.
Don't tell me I'm exaggerating,
I've seen what harmful gossip can do
to sensitive girl with "a high powered
imagination--turn her from a gay,
amusing happy kid into a nervous,
apprehensive old woman, imagining
horrors at the slightest sound.
SO keep your mind off the ugly
things of life. Don't absorb ugliness,
absorb beauty, and see hose much
more beauty will come into your life.

thought no more about him than they
did about Reddy Fox. They felt that
they knew him and his ways. But
since his voice had been heard in two
places at practically the same time.
and since some of the little people
were sure that they had seen him in
two places at practically the same
time, he had become even more mys-
terious than when he was a total
stranger.
But the queer part of it all is that
bid May Coyote himself didn't know
What to make of it. No. sir, he didn't.
You see, Old Man Coyote had pointed
bis nose to the sky and yelped just
.or the sake of hearing his own voice.
He had been sitting on his own door
ktep the first time he did it. Almost
ht once that yelp was repeated from
sver on the edge of the Green Forest
Did Man Coyote had difficulty in be-
Geving his own ears. He tried it once
more, and again the same thing hap
pened.
1T must be an echo" said Old Man
Coyote to himself. Yes. sir, it must
be an echo. But ] don't understand
Why I've never heard it before. If it
5 an echo, it ought to come from the
Great Mountain and not from the
Green Forest. I'll try it once more"
So Old Man Coyote tried it once
h1ore, and once more he had the same
result 1t gave him queer feeling

appreciated by the firm or person re.
ceiving the request.
When inclosing the S. A. S. E.. be
sure that the "A" part is distinctly
written on the envelope. You will real
ize that this letter stands for lad
dressed" Unless the address is def.
mite you cannot get the reply. For in
stance. you absolutely must write the
full name of the place in which you
live and the State. If the word city
or local is used and not the name
of the city and state, you may look
in vain for a reply. and the fault can
not be laid to the firm or paper, which
is really as anxious for YOU to get
what you have written in for as you
are yourself.
A Difficulty.
I am stresSing these points because
there are many letters that come to
me with no other address on the in
closed envelope than the writer's
name and the street number followed
by either city or local. There are
so many cities of the same name in
States that are far separated that it
is no wonder the post offices are at
loss where to send letters so directed.
For Best Response.
1t is a mistake to inclose stamp
only, if the request is for an S. A. S.
r. Letters cannot get the prompt re-
plies when this is the case, though re-
plies will come-sometime!
There is no ne ssity for having the
inclosed envelope smaller than the
outside one. Fold the inside one, not
by turning in the edges to make it
right, but by folding it through the
middle. Then it will slip into the out
er one easily.

BEDTIME STORIES BY Y. TH1szze' sSseHs9

Old Man Coyote can listen. Then he
nointed his nose skyward and once
more that startling voice of his rang
out. Promptly it was repeated from
the edge of the Green Forest. Old
Mar. Coyote felt almost afraid. lie
decided he wouldn't go hunting. In.
stead he went back into his house ana
he was heard no more that night.
The next night Old Man Coyote de-
cided that he must have been mis-
taken. He decided that it just couldn't
be that he had heard his own voice
echoed from the Green, Forest. He
decided that it must have been an
echo, but that it must have come
from the Great Mountain, and he had
only imagined that it came from the
edge of the Green Forest. SO this
time Old Man Coyote trotted over to
the foot of the Great Mountain, and
there he once II re sent his voice
yelping and chattering out on the
night air. At once it came back to
him, and it came back to him from
the Green Forest. If it was an echo,
that echo was over in the Green
Forest. He had proved for himself
that it had not come from the Great
Mountain.
Il never heard Of anything like it,"
muttered Old Man Coyote to himself.
I've lived around here a long time and
last night was the first time that
ever / heard an echo from the Green
Forest. And such an echo! Why,
it is as loud as my own voice."
Old Man Coyote didn't howl again
that night. He was too upset. He
tried to make himself believe that all
he had heard was an echo, but he
couldn't understand how there could
be such an echo. So as soon as he
had caught a few mice he returned to
his home up in the Old Pasture to
try to study out the matter.

Clues to Character
Glutton Faces.
BY J. o. ABERNETHY.

Fluffy cheeks which hang down
upon the neck in soft folds are in
deXes to great gluttons and gour-
mands. Persons who eat voraciously
and fail to exercise properly are
prone to accumulate a large amount
of soft, fatty tissue on all parts of
the body.
Especially does it develop above the
mouth, lips, cheeks and abdomen.
Some large eaters maintain equilib-
rum of the several systems of func-
tions, but in most cases increased
weight induces a disinclination to eX-
ercise. which assists the accumula-
tion of fatty materials.
AS this accumulation of fat goes
on the subject becomes more and
more inactive, sleepy headed. stolid
and mentally slow. Respiration be-
comes labored, action of the heart
and lungs is impeded, tracts become
clogged, and thus the entire system
takes on an abnormal condition,
which often leads to dropsy, enlarged
liver or other disorders. In some
women the described conditions often
lead to other gluttonous habits.

Mystery of S. A. S. E. Explained
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The capitalized initials S. A. S. E..
are like hieroglyphics to many per-
sons as meaningless. This is not
strange, since the authorizations have
sprung into use within a comparative
gy recent time. They are used in true
american time and labor.saving style,
to eliminate the necessity of writing
the phrase, Self.addressed and
STAMPED envelope.' The custom of
