A girl of this fine type

it will be harder for her to

An Authority on Problems Of
Love and Marriage

An unhappy mother writes
me that she fears she has made
a great mistake in keeping her
young daughter too carefully
sheltered from the world.
When my husband died ten
years ago." she writes, my little
girl was ten years old. I had
always been a timid person and
was terrified at the thought Of
living in a large city where the
child would be exposed to all
sorts of dangers. 1 therefore
. returned to the small country
town where l had been born
and had spent my childhood.
We moved into a pretty cot
tage, with large garden, and
I devoted all my thoughts to
the education of this child.
Protecting Her Child
'We studied, read, worked in
the garden, and took long walks
together. Occasionally we made
delightful little trips into the
city for the theater and shop
ping. My idea was that if I
could protect my little girl from
all the unpleasant things in the
world, and carefully direct her
reading and stimulate her in
terest in all the beautiful
things of life, she would be
happy, and would have no
trouble in getting along in the
world among all kinds of peo-
pie.
"The girl was always respon-
sive, a charming and eager
companion, and somehow I
kept putting off the thought
that I should provide some
young friends. I wanted her
to marry some day, but I put
that day vaguely in the future.
Now, my doctor has just told
me that I may not have many
more years to live. am try
ing to imagine how she will
face life alone. In my eager
ness to shelter the child, have
failed completely to realize it
is only through association with
other young people that she
will gain confidence in herself.
I should welcome now the
thought of her marriage to
fine, intelligent man but in this
town there are no eligible men.
Won't you please advise me?"
Advice to Mother
The chances are that this
quiet, book-loving girl would
have been content to stay in
the background even among the
young people in city unless
someone had arranged things
differently. And that is what
I advise this mother to do.
First, I should move back to

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Cardboard beauty is a term
that might be applied to those
girls who are pretty enough but
who look like thousands of other
pretty girls, all cut off the
same bolt. Beauty that attracts
has some distinguishing fea-
ture, a queenly carriage, radi-
ance of facial expression, charm
of voice. friendliness of man
ner. There must be an ele-
ment stronger than physical
perfection if a girl is to stand
out in the crowd these days.
Men no longer ask: rs she
pretty?" but rs she interest
ing?"
On every inch of a normal
topknot-or rather the scalp
on which it flourishes-is parked
about 1000 hairs. Some hairs
live for seven years before they
fluff away, others don't stick
half that time. Hair, like all
cells and tissues of the body,
is in a constant state of decay
and renewal. Old structures
sometimes break and split be-
fore they detach themselves
from the home base. Hair is
formed of overlapping scales.
Sensitive fingers can tell by

Larry took out a large hand
kerchief, something like a sheet,
and mopped her face in a
brotherly fashion. He then
helped her to her feet and
escorted her to the elevator and
took up his position there,
waiting determinedly like a de-
tective, until she should come
down again. He was taking no
chance whatever. When she re-
appeared he accompanied ner
to the desk, watched her check
out, and, taking her arm, led
her to the door, the street, a
taxi, the station, and q train
for WeStmill.
In the train he talked to her
severely.
why the devil did you run
away?" he demanded.
IT couldn't face it"
"The situation, or Lorrimer?"
"Lorry," she admitted finally.
1T was all so confusing and TN
expected. But had known for
ages that I had to get away"
Why She Ran Away
"You didn't run to save your
SELF" said Larry; "you ran to
save him. It was unnecessary.
If you had stayed you might
have learned that Delight Har-
ford is really Mrs. Somebody
Else, and that Lorrimer didn't
want her, never would want
her"
How was I to know?" asked
Mary Lou, reasonably, watching
the lights of homes shine
through the darkness.
"You couldn't t know, of course.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendening-

When such statements as
those recently made by DR..
Robert Hutchinson are quoted
one casts around to test them
by actual experience. He said
that people were healthier If
they paid no attention to any
hygienic rules and ate what
they wanted with no considera-
tion of anything but appetite.
His remarks made quite a hit
with a great many doctors, and
justly so.
Worry and Ill Health
People who think about their
health all the time, and who
are constantly worrying about
balancing their diet, are likely
to create an atmosphere of ILL
health by that very fact. But
we have learned certain facts
about diet that must be delib-
erately applied in order to pro-
duce a healthy result. Food
balancing is one Of the only
two real and definite methods
of preventive medicine we have.
In other days lack of this
knowledge and application of
these facts led to a great deal
of scurvy and ricketts, and other
diseases which are now very
largely prevented.
It is all right to say let your
appetite be your guide in a COM
munity where the food supply
is plentiful and varied. But in
regions where this is not true a
great deal of preventable dis
ease develops. AS an illustra-
ton of this, we have lately had
the report on a survey of con-
ditions in Labrador. The report
shows that the inhabitants buy
their total supplies for a year at
one time-flour, molasses, oleo,
etc. Their fresh food is mostly
fish. Some of them raise po-
tatoes, turnips and cabbage, but
hardly ever enough to last
through the winter. AS a con-

Jenny reading six novels at
once and trying to make up
her mind to go to bed early
for the first time in several
years. She rushed to the door
as she heard them talking to
the servant who opened it, and
caught Mary Lou in her strong
young arms.

Larry and embraced him shame

they knew the entire story,
and the way in which they un-

to do when Larry sets his

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
/. Will you kindly inform me
the correct way to announce

and my parents are dead, but
I have a married sister. Would
it be correct for her to an

2. Also how should I use

form if you were to have your
married sister and her husband
announce your marriage.
2. For your formal name, use
your husbands name (the new

before it. This would, for ex-
ample, be the form on your

CHAPTER IS

Larry started looking through
the hotels. It would have taken
longer to find her than it
did, if it hadn't happened that
his paper sent him to cover the
visit of a new celebrity, an
English novelist reputed to
be, as we'll, the best dressed
man in the world. He was
speaking one night before
rather large and decidedly
mixed audience in a new hotel
for women, part club, part hos
telry, and because of the mans
name and the startling mes
sage" he was bruited to bring
to American womanhood, Larry
was sent to interview him and
to listen to the lecture, as his
editor scented an amusing story
written in Larry's peculiarly
entertaining style.
The Rudy Vallee of litera-
ture," said the editor. well,
listen to his grooming and give
us a story. Keep it short of
libel, my lad"
But Larry was fated not to
hear the lecture; and incident
ally lost his job On that &C
count, as the lecture turned
out to be what is vulgarly
known as hot stuff, and all
the other papers carried col
umns of highly amused print
about the languid gentleman in
sartorial splendor who lounged
onto the platform and spoke
of the 1nhibiting of American
Women, due to their Puritan
ical Forbears.
For, in the corridor of that
hotel, he met Mary Lou.
She saw him; tried to turn;
to escape. But he had her by
the arm.
Not so fast, my good child"
In the Library
He looked about him, espied
deserted library, led her into
it and pumped her down in
chair with no ceremony what
ever.
What are you doing here?"
Living here, Larry" she
said.
And what else, may I ask?"
he demanded Sternly.
I'm taking course in a
secretarial school," she replied,
with some defiance.
