Henry is a handsome, intelli-
gent young man with eyes that
invite your confidence and smile
that warns your heart. He is
weIl-educated, Industrious, reliable
and ambitious. But ever since he
was a youngster at school he has
been handicapped by an impedi-
ment in his speech-which, OF
course, has been a. drawback to
him in business and in society.
The tragedy of the thing is that
he brought it upon himself, when
he was too young to have any
better sense. There was poor
fellow in the neighborhod who
stammered and suffered when
ne talked. Henry, being q good
mimic, proceeded to mock him.
He did it 80 we'll that other chill
dren and many grown-ups laughed
at his imitation and encouraged
him to repeat it. Before very
long his family realized that he
had acquired the defect himself.
For at least ten years Henry
has been trying to overcome his
habit of stammering, but as yet
he has not succeeded. He prob
ably could have been cured, II the
matter had been taken in hand
soon enough. Better still it could
have been prevented-if somebody

spirit is the good example OF the
adults at home. Mocking, ridicule,
teasing should be met with
frowns and disapproval, not with
laughter or applause.
If only for selfish reasons, q
child should be cured Of this ten
dency. Hurt pride, wounded
vanity, the smart of humiliation
lasts a long tine--1ong after the
tormentor has forgotten all about
the hilarious moment. And some
day the tornentor will receive his
just reward for the pain he
brought upon his victim. Quite
often the punishment is out of all
proportion to the Offense, and
sometimes the source of the retri-
button is never suspected.
In this connection let it be
said it is cowardly for \ grown-up
to ridicule a child: to wither him
with sarcasm or to blight his joy
with witty remarks at his ex-
pense. Teachers are rather given
to this method of calling pupils
down. Quite often parents in
dulge themselves in this manner.
And all they get for their alleged
cleverness is the resentment of
the child. If the youngster dared
say what was in his own Irlind
he might possibly call attention
to some of his elders laughable
shortcoming, but that revenge In
denied him by reason of his size.
So If you must be cuttingly

ADVICE TO
LOYELORN
by Beatrice Fairfax,

1t is natural for young folks to
go about in couples, even when
there is only q question OF friend
ship and good comradeship, But
it In wen to keep this tendency
to pair off flexible and easily
adjustable, otherwise it will inter-
fere with happy mating and sue
cessfuI marriages. There are
likely to be frequent and impul.
sive changes of partners in the
keeping company" of girls and
young men. And it is wise for
all concerned that this should
be SO.
Dear Miss Fairfax" writes
SISTER ''I am II. ! have q sis
ter of 20. We always so about

with a young man. while his
friend took my sister.
For some reason or other the

care for him. Yesterday he asked
me to go out with him next
week. Shall go?
have gone out with the other
friend three times. think he
has serious intentions, from what
he 3aid about me to my sister.
How can ! explain to him that
don't regard his friendship that

will be greatly appreciated"
1t is hard sometimes to play
fair, isn't it, little sister? But
with the aid of franlSness, kindli-
ness and good sportsnanship this
Is quite possible.
The best way to explain to the
young man who may have serious
intentions that your intentions are
not so serious, is to accept invi.
tations frequently from other
men and not accord too much
time to him. You win not need
to tell him In words. At the same
time, be sweet to him and 60

Since you are not engaged, there
Is no reason why you should not

other young man. even II this does

your sister Is too sportsInatlike to
refuse to share her friend with
you. Go about freely with all your
friends, and encourage them to do
the same, until you find the man

Branded-Just By a Hat!
By Lucy Lowell

Why is it that a woman, whose
heart otherwise is filled with
Christian character-one who tries
to give everybody square deal,
and who, in so far as she can,
loves her neighbor as herself
will acquire some place, in some
manner. a hat Of the shape and
about the size of a bathtuh and
keep this to wear to church?
You may object that one goes to
church to hear. primarily, and
that view Of the clergyman is
not necessary to the uplift of the
soul.
But this is not quite accurate;
most people understand a speaker
more easily and fully if they can
see his face. At any rate, church
goers surely have a right to de.
eide for themselves whether they
wish a glimpse of their clergy
mans face as he talks: they can
close their eyes If they don't like
his looks.
And how, ask you, can they
exercise this privilege if there is
about two square feet of hat shut
ting off their view of everything
else?
OF course churchgoers are saved
lot of this by one of the few
reasonable fashions to obtain in
the past decade or so; the vogue
for small, close-fitting, practically
brimless hats.
But every now and then some
