WILFUL OUIJA
BY RUTH NEELY
(Copyright, 1920, by Ruth Neely.)
CHAPTER X
It must be admitted that the con
solations offered by Christian faith
had in no way impressed Nora, al
though this was due to no special ne
glect in religious education, either on
her part or those about her. As a
child she had attended Sunday
schools in the desultory way charac
teristic of her desultory family life,
and for a time during her high
school years Nora had a period of
great interest and activity in the
work of a young people’s church or
ganization, attending regularly the
services incident to such member
ship.
But in truth, to whatever cause
this failure was due it had meant
nothing vital. She had not known
this, of course, until the test came.
Now she knew. Hope and promise of
were to Nora’s type of
mind insufficient in that they held
forth hope and promise only. No
body really knew.
Well, yes, some claimed to. For
instance, Rosalie.
Very present and insistent at this
time wag Rosalie, greatly advanced
to the skilled circle of the elect, urg
ing quie’ly, persistently and ines
capably on her friend the philosophy
of the higher life, founded —abso-
lutely founded—on facts. On real
inescapable and fully demonstrated
facts. According, of course, to Rosa
lie.
How could Rosalie know?
Rosalie now knew—she disclosed
this to Nora one evening as they
talked together in their apartment—
because of messages that were being
transmitted to her and through her.
Rosalie had discovered ability as
an automatic writer by accident, she
told Nora. She had been seated at
her desk —she was now in full
charge of the local circle and main
tained offices at the temple—when
suddenly the pencil poised above her
note book began to write.
“I had been making some memo
randum of new lecture dates and at
first I thought I was jotting down
some ideas of my own.”
It was impossible to doubt the
clear sincerity of Rosalie’s gaze, fix
ed on her friend.
“How do you know you were not?”
Nora’s question was still somewhat
perfunctory. The message of the
ouija board announcing Roger’s
death, later confirmed by the war de
partment, had overcome her at the
time But later she had set it down
as—well, what? She did not know.
But her old distrust permitted no
place to the possibility tha tit really
came from Roger.
And yet—
Because of this tiny, new born,
“and yet;" Nora had come to listen
carefully if dubiously, to her
friend’s developments in the field of
psychic research and spiritism.
“It seems to me,” she said, while
waitlne for Rosalie, who seemed hes
itant to go on, “that the things
which come through automatic writ
ing, at least all that I have read
In the magazines, are so vague and
general that nobody could ever know
who did write it—or ever care.
“Honestly, Rosalie—you see, to
me, if. I believe at all the thing
would be so important that I can
not help saying what I think—well,
most of that stuff I read seemed just
that way—just stuff. It was beau
tiful and ethereal and ethical in a
way, but It did not have any sense
to it. I cannot see why it was worth
sending. I am afraid I just cannot
believe it—unless something really
happens to make me.”
“Perhaps, then, this will." Step
ping to the table where lay the
leather letter case, Rosalie drew out
her note book, turned the leaves rap
idly and pointed to a page.
The writing in no way differed
from Rosalie’s usual hand, with
which Nora was familiar, except that
it was more flowing and less negible.
Nora began reading—
“ Glorious is the change these psy
chic revelations will make in your
own life and those about you. What
the older church has lacked you

DOROTHY_DIX TALKS
ARE YOU A_GOOD WIFE?
BY DOROTHY DIX
The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer
(Copyright, 1920, by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.)
DO you ever wonder If you give
satisfaction as a wife? When
you see your husband of an
evening with the smoke of
his cigar curling about his head, and
a far-away look in his eyes, do you
ever wonder whether he is thinking
that the best investment he ever
made i nhis life was when he bought
you a wedding ring, or if he is spec
ulating upon what the
doing not to get his number on the
day he undertook to be your meal
ticket for life?
If you are curious on this subject,
apply these acid tests to yourself:
Have you thrown away the salt
with which you caught your fish?
You baited your hook with good
looks. You were always so clean,
and fresh and dainty, with your hair
combed so becomingly, and your nose
nicely powdered, and your feet and
ankles so trim and neat. Have you
grown sloppy and slovenly and dow
dy? Do you screw your hair up into
a little hard knot, that would make
the Venus de Milo look like a scarce
crow, because it’s the easiest way
to get it up? Do you wear run
dbwn-at-the-heels slippers around
the house and consider a much-be
soiled kimono good enough to adorn
yourself in for a mere husband? It
takes a man with a superhuman tal
ent for loving to keep enamored of
a woman who looks as If she needed
to be sent to the laundry, and whose
kisses taste of cold cream.
"You also baited your hook with
flattery. You made the poor sucker
who nibbled at that alluring tidbit
believe that you thought he was the
biggest, strongest, handsomest, wis
est man in the world. When he ex
pressed an opinion, you appeared to
rhink it the utterance of an oracle
You asked his advice and let him tell
you how he would run the world if
he was at the head of things. You
’aughed at his sentries and applaud
ed his jests.
Have you quit burning incense at
his feet? Do you interrupt him in
the midst of his best story to tell
him that the woman next door has
got a new hat? Do you remind him
that you read the joke he has just
told in the column of the funny pa
per? Do you openly flout his opin
ions, and criticize everything he
does, from the way he has his hair
cut, to his pronunciation?
It must be a terribly disillusioning
thing to marry a woman because you
think you are getting an admiring
■■.udience in her, and then find out
■hat you have got a cricket on the
dearth who is the president of the

CHAPTER XI
ROSALIE’S voice broke ’in and
her impatient finger pointed
to near the end of the page.
“You do not care for that
first part; it means much to me, of
course—but right there! It broke
right after the other message, just
as I wrote it.
“ ‘Give a message to Nora Sander
son from her father Paul. He is
here and has this to say; The past,
your mother; all was pitiful but
can be explained; it must not wreck,
your future. Roger is not forever
gone. As token, that which you wear
against your breast.’ "
Involuntarily, Nora clutched the
spot over her heart where was pin
ned inside of her lingerie a tiny
chamois bag containing a locket with
two pictures, one of Roger and the
other of her mother. The locket, a
cheap, flimsy affair bought by Nora’s
mother before her marriage, had been
laid carelessly aside by Mrs. Sander
son, with the picture of her first
husband still Inclosed, when she had
made her second marriage.
Nora had found the locket and
taken possession. But she had never
worn it until, notwithstanding her
distaste for sentiment, the thought
of her lover’s picture resting on her
heart made irresistible appeal. Nora
knew that nobody had ever seen Paul
Sanderson’s picture since the death
of Nora’s mother, nor the little
photograph of Roger. Ashamed of
what she felt was girlish silliness,
she had kept the locket in its hiding
place both day and night. In the
privacy of the bath she removed it
from one undergarment and fastened
it to her fresh clothing. No one
had ever seen the change.
But, as it gradually dawned on
Nora, there were other features of
the message almost as striking.-
She had never told Rosalie her
father’s first name nor mentioned
her childhood at all except to say
that her parents had died while she
was quiet small.
To be sure, no family history is
impossible to secure. But assuming
sufficient interest, the task of such
uncertain and tedious research was
rreat. Nobody knew this better than
Nora. Had she not ofjen seen her
mother’s “dope book,” m which Ed
and Mrs. Dulany had written and
pasted data of all kinds concerning
townspeople, even to inscriptions
taken from the cemeteries? '
With a shiver of disgust at the
recollection, Nora stared hard at
her friend. Could it be, could it be,
that Rosalie, too—oh, how hideous,
how unthinkable!
Rosalie was speaking.
"It shocked me as much as it has
you,” she was saying. "I never had,
in writing, a message so evidential.
“Os course, there was the one that
came from Roger over the board.
And this one is true, too, isn’t it,
Nora? Tell me! It means, in away,
almost as much to me as to you. It s
true, isn’t it? You have something
from Roger that your father meant?
For answer, Nora reached beneath
her blouse, unpinned the little bag
from its soft resting place, opened
the locket and laid it in Rosalie s
IS “i knew it,” exclaimed Rosalie. “I
was certain he meant something of
Roger’s. But the other picture, Nora.
Who is it?"
“My father," said Nora.
There was no misreading the sur
prised delight on Rosalie’s face. She
leaped to her feet, waving both hands
above her head, clapping the palms
together, her eyes glittering with ex
citement.
"That settles it.” Evidently oblivi
ous for the moment of Nora’s pres
ence, Rosalie rocked her tall, lithe
figure back and forth, the embodi
ment of joy and fulfilled desire. “I
have the power! I can do it! I’ve
gotten It myself! At last I’ve got
ten it myself!”
She was recalled to herself and
surroundings as Nora suddenly arose,
crossed the room swiftly and closed
the door.
(To be Continued)
Almalgamated Order of Lady Knock
er Dld you let your first baby put
your husband’s nose so completely
out of joint that it has never got in
again? So many women never think
of their husbands as anything but
their children’s father, a convenience
mercifully ordained by Providence
to supply the wants of Johnnie, and
Tommy, and Mary, and Janey. He
has no rights where the youngsters
are concerned, and if he has to oe
worked to death to indulge them in
everything their greedy young hearts
crave, well, it’s a pity, but it has to
be done.
Are you one of these all-motner
frives? Do you let your husband
sit up alone while you hold the
baby’s hand while it goes to sleep
until some other woman begins to
hold his hand?
Are you merciless in sqiieezing
money out of him for the children?
Do you let him see that he is no
real account in the family, and that
your first thought is for them, not
him? There are not many men so
humble, and with so little self love,
that they enjoy knowing that they
are nothing but the cash-register in
their homes,
Are you a good housekeeper? No
matter whether you have every
other virtue under the sun, but are
a poor cook, and keep a messy and
untidy house, you are a failure as
a wife. It’s just as much a wom
an’s business to be thrifty and eco
nomical and spend her husband's
money wisely, as it is his business
to make the money.
What sort of a dinner d 0 you sit
your husband down to at night? Did
it come out of paper bags, or is it
the kind of a meal that a man thinks
cheerfully of all the way home? Do
you buy finery that you cannot af
ford, or do you keep within your in
come? A man can’t think many nice
loving thoughts of a wife when he
realizes that she has sold him into
bondage to milliners and dress
makers, and that his whole life work
goes to their enriching.
Are you a good sport? Have you
got the courage to smile, and buck
your husband up when things, go
wrong with him? Do you make' him
feel that no matter what happens, he
has got one loyal friend who will
fight with him, back to back, to the
bitter end? Or are you one of the
whiners and complainers who are
always fretting because they can’t
have things like Mrs. Astorbilt, and
who take the last bit of nerve out of
man by telling him they don’t know
why he can’t get along as well as
some other man?
Do you show your husband any
appreciation? The average man
doesn’t get a thing out of his daily
toil except his board and clothes
All the balance of it goes to the
support of his family, and if his
wife takes this tremendous sacri
fice without one word of thanks, he
is bound to feel that he is the
goat that is offered up on the do
mestic altar.
Do you ever tell your husband
that you realize all of this, and how
wonderful and sublime you think his
conduct is, and that he's one of the
unsung heroes of the world?
Finally, do you make your home
a place of cheerfulness, of quiet, of
peace and rest, a place to which a
tired man may come and gather up
new strength and courage for the
next day’s battle? Or is it a place
of nagging and fretting, and quar
rels and discomfort that nobody
would return to if he could help him
self? Do you think the ind of a
home you make is the realization
dream of the bachelor you married?
Just listen to the turn of the key
in the front door tonight when he
comes home, and you’ll have a close
up, as our movie friends say, of
how you look to your husband as
a wife.

The Country Home
BY MRS. W. H. I'ELTON
THS USE OF LEMONS—AS REM
EDY FOR CONSUMPTION
I am continually solicited for rem
edies for the dire disease—known as
tuberculosis in modern days, but
called consumption in earlier times.
A friend who knows of these con
tinuous appeals thus writes me:
"Put a dozen whole lemons in
cold water, and boil until soft, but
not too soft. Roll or squeeze until
all the juice is extracted from pulp
and rind. Sweeten the juice—be-
cause sugar and syrups have a sooth
ing effect on throat and helps great
ly to lessen the cough. Use the
drink freely. A dozen lemons a day
would help if the acid does not hin
der indigestion. Just keep it up
faithfully. I know of two cases
where the patients were abondoned
by their doctors and both are still
living after the lemon cure was
faithfully used. One lady in particu
lar was bedridden very low —had
tried the drug store reliefs in vain.
She not only survived but gained
flesh—with lemons.
She began in February, and in
April had acquired strength to be
weighed—the scales showing 140
pounds. She is in apparent good
health and likely to live as long as
the rest of us. If people would use
less vinegar and use more lemons
they will be benefitted.”
Consumption is an insidious dis
ease. It is called by some cancer
of the lunge. We hear nowadays
that there is consumption of the
bowels —maybe it is cancer.
There is, doubtless, some affinity
between cancer and tuberculosis of
other vital parts of the human
frame.
Consumption has been known to
be handed down to succeeding gene
rations. You often hear it said, “so
bad she has consumption. Her
mother (or father) died with it.”
The truth is that a very bad cold
—protracted and stubborn can
bring on disease of the lungs. If
the system is run down and the cold
and cough neglected, and the sanita
tion or ventilation poor, there are
many chances for development of
lung trouble. Sometimes it begins
with catarrh —diseased tonsils are
provocative. , x,. •
When people understand that their
bodies should be cared for like a
costly vase or some delicate plant,
as an individual duty, with personal
responsibility for those who may
come after them, we will take a
long step towards the preser
vation of health and long
Anything which diseases the

THE AUTOIMtOFIT.B FATALITIES
IN ATLANTA
There are grewsome stories sent
out by the Atlanta papers, where the
killing of three grown persons, well
known citizens, were either killed
outright within thirty-six hours, or
who died very soon after in hos
pitals. x .
Really automobiles seem to be get
ting more dangerous than railroads.
Os course there are a great many
persons who are incautious at street
crossings. Some do not hear, some
times vision is defective. There is
too little caution. Nevertheless it
should be the duty of every city and
town to stop reckless driving—where
people are obliged to go to attend
to their legitimate business.
Some of the most awful automo
bile tragedies ever chronicled have
occurred in the town I live in. One
has to see what such things stand
for to appreciate the terrible conse
quences of reckless driving.
When I see little children playing
out in the middle of the street, near
my dwelling—l am always uneasy
for them. Delivery wagons, with
horses, were bad enough, but an au
tomobile under full speed can do
more damage than a dozen smaller
and slower vehicles.
Too many little boys are driving
autos. Too many girls are fast
drivers. Too many chauffeurs have
tasted booze. No matter how careful
one may be, there is danger of being
run into by other reckless folks. It
is a serious thing to ride in an auto
and watch for accidents.
The pleasure of joy-riding has in
jected something like a speed-craze
in the drivers —male and female,
young and old. It is dangerous—
and should be curbed or confined to
set-apart speedways.
I have a plan, that I have adopted
in cities like New York and Wash
ington. There are always policemen
in evidence at crowded crossings. I
have waited very often, not patient
ly, but determinedly, until I could
c-itch the notice of these officials
Then I cnll them to see m< across
Better wait a half day than be run
down and injured. Young peonle
cn be nimble and dodge. Old folks
like myself, must be very careful,
because they are slow of gait and
short on hearing and eye
sight. Make yourself known to the
policeman. If you have to screamed
to them.

No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not s o exceed 150 to 200 words.
My Dear Children: I have just received a letter from Yvonne’s'
grandmother; you know our support for her is paid in quarterly in
stallments, and this to thank us for that amount. I will quote it
to you. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
‘‘We thank you infinitely—my little one and myself—for the
sums of money that you have had the kindness to send us every
three months. They have been a great help in supplying our ma
terial needs, and, more than that, they have brought to us the
great joy of realizing that there are generous souls far away from
us, who remember the unfortunates of the war.
‘‘My little Yvonne now has a vacation from school, so I have her
constantly with me. She is very well. Last month we had roseola.
There was much of it in the neighborhood, but now we are complete
ly cured. This sickness is not dangerous if one is not imprudent.
Although my little one does not know you little ones, she loves
you much, and not withstanding her young age she realizes all that
she owes you.

JULIANA DUPOY,

Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
kindly open the door and let me in this hot
afternoon? I am so lonesome I don’t know
what to do, as I am at home all alone this
evening. I have no brothers or sisters, and
no mother, either, as my mother passed
away August 6th, 1918, so I suppose you
motherless children can realize how lone
some I am. I certainly can sympathize with
all the orphans, because I know how bad it
is to be without a mother and father. Lis
ten! How many of you cousins remember
me? I am an old cousins, because I wrote
to the Letter Box last September and my
letter was printed and I received many nice
letters from some of the cousins, t cer
tainly am grateful to Aunt Julia for print
ing my other letter, and I will thank her
many, many times if she will print this
one. Cousins, don’t you think she is a
dear? If Miss Bertie E. Maloy, of Argyle,
Fla., sees this letter I wish she would
please write to me again and give .me her
correct address, as I wrote to her and my
letter was returned to me. I’ll not fright
en anybody this time by describing myself,
as I gave you all a description of myself
in my ether letter. I don’t think there is
much need in describing one’s self, because
you can’t tell from a description how any
one looks. 1 am seventeen years old, and
would be delighted to hear from some of the
cousins near my age. I'll try to answer all
letters and cards received. Aunt Julia,
find my bit for the baby.
Your loving niece and cousin,

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: What a
charming corner we have to be sure, and
how nice of The Journal to let us have a
small space in which to put onr letters, so
that we may become acquainted with inter
esting people all over the south! I’ve never
written to tlie corner before, although I’ve
been an interested reader and have learned
to know some delightful folks through its
interesting columns. Mostly, we’re a good
natured bunch, and I hope you’ll be kind
enough to let me in. I’d just love to hear
from the cousins. Now I’ll describe myself,
so any who should write can, in their
imagination, think what I am like: 1 am
5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 120 pounds.
I have gray eyes, with arched eyebrows,
fair complexion. My only redeeming feature
is my hair. You will pardon my vanity if
I say it is beautiful —a perfect shower of
gold that falls below my knees. If this de
scription interests any of the cousins, 1
would be glad to hear from them. I am

Hello, Aunt cousins, too!
Just wonder if you'll let me through.
I’ve been wondering for some time
If you'd let me in just this one time.
I’ve been afraid to go your -way
For fear it was wastebasket day,
Although I hope that he will hide—
Aunt Julia, please have hmi tied.
I live in the country, and like it fine,
Although I like to live in towfl, sqjne time.
Will give my description to yon ail.
And guess that had better be about all.
For I’m in an awful hurry.
And, furthermore, don’t want to worry
Aunt Julia, for she’s so kind;
I’ll come again another time.
My eyes are brown, and so is my hair
(Guess I’d soon better take my chair);
Am five feet six ineaes tall,
Weigh 138 pounds—now that’s all.
Will not give my age this time.
But it’s between fifteen and twenty-nine.
Now who can guess my age, just so?
Hurry up and you’ll soon know.
Now let Hie cards and letters fly;
I’ll answer all, or at least I’ll try.
Will say good-by with a joy and smile
And come again in the after while.
Your new niece and cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I am com

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I will write

anything he can. I have two brothers, but
they are working at public work. My moth

sav that a step-mother wouldn’t treat you
right. She will if you will treat her nice.
T haven’t any mother now. She died April
26. 1919. I’ll tell you cousins a mother is
semething you ought to appreciate.. Well.

tween fifteen and eighteen. I would like
to hear from you cousins. I will answer. 1

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
I am coming to you for advice. I
am a girl nineteen years old. I
went with a boy three years and we
broke up for some reason and every
body tells me that he loves me, and
he just stands about at church and
watches me all the time every where
he sees me. He don’t talk with any
girls, and he always was jealous of
me and when I talk with other boys
he gets worried, looks like, and I
love him. My mind just dwells on
him all the time. There is a boy
wanting to go with me, but I don’t
like him. So please give me
your advice. I don’t feel like I will
every be happy without him. Do you
thing he loves me the reason why he
watches me so. Awaiting vour renly
MINNIE L. W.
It was Indeed too bad you and
your boy friend parted company,
for I am sure he still loves you,
and you acknowledge you love
him. Is there not some way
you can mend the broken place
in your love, and be sweet
hearts again. If you are to
blame you should not let your
pride stand in your way of re
conciliation. I think the young
man loves you still.
Dear Miss Meredith: We are two
lovely girls coming to you for ad
vice. I have blue eyes. Am in love
WI U I , a a t the age of nineteen,
ana he wants me to become engaged
to him, but he hasnt’ been going
with me more than two months, Do
you think he could love me enough
in that length of time to become
engaged and later break the engage
ment?
I have brown eyes. I am in love
with a widower and love him very
dearly and he wants me to marry
him, but he has five children. He
is a Christian man and has a big
lot and other propetry in Blun. Your
advice will be appreciated.
BROWN EYES.
It depends largely whether
"you” are in love with the
widower. Five children are a
lot to contend with. You must
have the patience of Griselda,
the diplomacy of a statesman and
love enough in your heart for
them to bear up under the strain
of being their stepmother. If
you can do all this, then go ahead
and take a chance, but it is
"rather risky.”
I am a girl sixteen coming- to
yqu for Some good advice. I have
been going with a. boy twenty and he
said he loved me dearly, but he has
not been to see me in a month, but
every time he sees me he smiles and
waves at me and still writes to me
and * still says he loves me. I am
sure I love him, but he don’t know
it. There is another boy coming to

A Proverb Puzzle
Can You Solve It?

The answer to The Tri-Weekly’s
last puzzle proverb was “As Is the
Master, So Is the Dog.” Did you
guess it? «
Here’s another. The little cartoon
shown above illustrates an old, fa
miliar proverb—one you’ve probably
heard many times. Can you figure
it out? Look for the correct answer
in the next issue of The Tri-Weekly.
House-Plants From Slips
To grow a house-plant from a slip,
take a half ripe branch and cut a
slip three inches long. After taking
off all the leaves except the upper
two, plant it in wet sand, exposing
only half of the slip. The sand
should be kept moist. When the
roots begin to grow, transplant the
slip into a pot with ordinary soil.
Plants such as oleander and ivy will
root in water.
see me and I’m sure he loves me be
cause he is as true to me as my
mother. There are dots of other
boys, too, and they seem to be crazy
about me. The people think I am
real pretty. Hoping to see this in
print, with many thanks.
RED ROSE.
The trouble with you is you
have "boys on tl - brain,” and
while you may be pretty you
must use common sense to be at
tractive. Men soon get tired of
addle-pated women. And my ad
vice to you is not to believe all
they tell you, and put your mind
on pursuits other than boys. You
will be the winner in the end.
