Here Are Some Tri-Weekly Journal Suggestions for Mak ing Simple, Inexpensive Gifts as Home. To Hold negligee Blue georgette over rose taffeta or two other shades combined, can be used for a lovely and useful bag. It is made like an ordinary bag except that it opens at the bottom as well as at the top. It may be trimmed with narrow ribbon and tiny silk flowers. It is especially designed to hold dainty negligees which can be slipped out of the bag without be coming wrinkled. Oblong Pillow One more pillow is always a wel come gift, particularly if it is an oblong one, for a change. An at tractive combination for . this kind of pillow is georgette and taffeta. The cushion itself may be of blue georgette over white taffeta, with a band of silver lace around the center. The last touch is a spray of woolen flosvers over lace and georgette. —— MARY MEREDITHS ADVICE | TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME | Will you please help a girl who is in trouble. I have written you twice before, but neither one was printed. I am a girl of eighteen, in love with a young man twenty-one years old. I belong to a prominent family and he does not. No one thinks he is my equal, still I love him, I have tried every way in the world to for get about him, but cannot. My folks do not want me to marry him on ac count of his family, although they know he is a good boy. He has asked me to marry him but I have not given him any answer yet. What must I do? Must I tell him no and marry someone I do not love, or take him? I will certainly appreciate your advice. Please sign my initials at the bottom of my letter. H. R. M. •Os course it is the most nat ural thing in the world for parents to want their children to marry their equal in intellect, and blood. But on the other hand a fine man has sprung from ordinary parentage—many leading women of the country today can trace their ancestry back to peasantry or so-called laboring class. My advice is: Marry the man who has brains enough to want to get along, to do right. One who has the strength and manhood in him to be honorable and clean in the face of trials and temptations. Whether his mother is a princess or a peasant, an opera singer or street singer. We can make our selves what we choose. A wom an can lift a man up, or she can drag him down. Do tvhat your conscience dictates. The Tri-Weekly Journal’* Own Serial The Only Thing That Counts A Mystery Romance of Modern Bohemia By the Famous Novelet Carolyn Beecher (Copyright, 1920.) CHAPTER XVI ADELE and Arens had smiled politely at each other when they met, nothing in the de meanor of either giving a hint they had met before. There was distinct novelty in the meeting for Adele, an unusual sensation, therefore welcome. They walked to the Lafayette, paired off, Helen and Lansing, Adele and Arens. It was exactly a year since Adele had seen Arens —at the time when, interested in another, she took no stock of him. But she now saw a well-set-up young man, taller than the average, clear-eyed and tanned, a wholesome looking man of the out door type. David Arens was thirty-five years old. But the years had been kind to him and seeing him with Adele one would have said he was twenty eight, possibly thirty. At thirty five a bachelor has reveries which concern the future. And when Da vid Arens met Helen Westfield he had been rather definitely hoping he would find his romance. Os a sud den he had touched upon the mar gin of it, he felt. She fulfilled his idea of womanhood; the sort he would like for a wife; the mother of his children. Yet it had always been said pf Arens that he would never marry because he could fascinate any wom an he cared to. It might have been a slander, yet because he had been popular with women, and because he never had married, many believed it. At first sight Helen hadn’t espe cially appealed to him, but after he had talked to her she appealed to him a great deal more. Even if the glamor of adolescent youth was ab sent, he was obsessed with the idea that he had at last unearthed some one, a woman, who would make a perfect companion for him. He had no sense of disloyalty to his host, Kirk Lansing, in this idea, because he had no notion that Lan sing was at all interested save in a friendly way with either of the girls. Among men David Arens was a man’s man. His manner was clip ped, brisk, highly impersonal. Helen thought him blase and went to no pains to interest him. “If I do, ’ she thought, “it will only flatter him the more and his ego is suffi cient as it is. Besides, it might amuse him.” And Helen had no in tention to amuse a man as blase as he seemed to be. Let him amuse her Lansing ordered the dinner. A man’s dinner, but just the sort to suit his two women guests. "I didn’t realize how tired I svas,” Helen said in an aside to Lansing. “Hungry, too. When I am writing I never look at a clock. I had forgot ten, but I ate no luncheon today.'* Arens overheard and said: “You shouldn’t do that. You will lose your health and incidenally your good looks if you do.” “As if that mattered.” “It does matter —to your friends, especially your health.” The look with which he accompanied the words was intended to convey to Helen his personal interest in her well-being. But she only smiled and turned to the others. She had no wish that this man make love to her. It was barely 9 o’clock when they finished their dinner. Adele naively proposed a ’bus ride. Lansing fa vored a roof garden. They left it to Helen She sided with Adele. Adele had seen the interest Helen had excited in David Arens She and wondered. It was evident they never had met before, that neithet knew anything of the other. She had as yet had no opportunity to speak to Arens alone —to explain her message. Once or twice she had caught his eyes fastened upon her, a question in their depths. But most of his attention had been devoted to Helen—enough to make Lansing peevish. On the ’bus, however, Lansing sat down with Helen, forcing Arens and Adele to occupy the same seat. “Why haven’t we met before?" he asked in a low voice. “Because I wish it so. And I am going to ask another favor. Please don’t mention your friend’s name while you are with us—K. D. 1 have a very special reason, one I can’t explain just now.” “All right. You had quite an af fair with him, didn’t you?” “Perhaps—and just perhaps that is the reason I don’t care to have him mentioned.” “I’ll not forget. You’re a good lit tle sport and I never give a girl away.” Adele blushed hotly under the im plication, but bit her lip and kepi silent. What did it matter whai David Arens thought of her. Helen’i happiness did matter. And somehow she had decided that this man, a friend of the man whose photograph had so disturbed Helen, might be a menace to that happiness. 1 CWTEB XVII DA.VID ARENS remained in New York three weeks. He was with the two girls al most every day on some pre text or other. If he could not see Helen in the evening he would plan something for the late afternoon, even the morning. They usually make a party of sou foursome,” Adele always called it—either Kel logg, Lansing, or some young friend of Adele’s making up the party. Before he left Arens asked Helen to marry him. She was amazed, al though Adele had seen it coming and had teased her about her con quest. “I shall never least, I haven’t seen the man 1 would give up my freedom for," Helen had re plied to his proposal, couched in •erms of passionate love. He had pleaded, but finally Helen , had said so plainly that she did not 1 care for him that perforce he had to ■ accept her refusel as final. But he ! carried away with him a hurt that i kept him silent about knowing her; that caused him to bury her name in his heart along with that hurt. Had Adele known this she would not have worn so anxious an ex pression when she thought of the photograph that had so disturbed Helen, and Arens’ acquaintance with the original. After Arens left, Helen and Adele were a bit more leisurely in their good times. Yet they often went out to dinner with Lansing or Kel logg, sometimes accompanied by a fourth. Helen seldom went out alone with either of the men. Adele often said she felt de trop. But Helen only laughed and declared she would not go without her. They were dining at the Brevoort. Their intention had been to go to one of the uptown hotels, but just as they started out a storm broke and they chose the place nearer home. “It was fate!” Helen said when in the future that night came be fore her. Lansing, Adele, and Helen were dining that night. Helen was feel ing unusually gay and Adele, sens ing her mood, was even more so. At a table near them sat two men One, an artistic-looking fellow with deep-sunk eyes and a brown point ed beard, attracted Helen’s atten tion. His sombre face had an ap pealing quality. “He, too, has been disappointed in life,” Helen said to herself. An awakened interest, sympathy, shone out of her soft gray eyes as she looked. His eyes were too large, his mouth too bitter for one so young. Helen judged him to be about thirty- one or two. In reality Clifford Sloane was but twenty-eight. His youth had not withstood the corro sive agencies of life; his habits had left an indelible mark. Helen dragged her eyes away in order not to be caught staring at the man who had excited her interest, her compassion. Then, to her sur prise, Adele saw him and bowed. The man acknowledged her greet ing, half rising in his chair, then sat down again suddenly as if regret ting the impulse, his face, hi- at titude, more moody than before. “Who is that man you bowed to?” Helen asked Adele, under cover of Lansing’s conversation with the waiter. “Clifford Sloane. He used to be rather nice, but lately—she shrugged her shoulders —“lately he’s gone the pace, they say, and also lost most of his money. Used to be a writer, newspaper man, or something.” The dinner was served, but Helen’s gay mood had unaccountably left her. Now, when she raised her eyes, she found Sloan’s gaze bent upon her. His troubled eyes never smiled when his lips parted as he talked with his companion. He looked like a man who had tasted of life’s dregs and found them very bitter indeed. Determinedly Helen tried to list en to Lansing and Adele. She suc ceeded so well that she started when she heard a deep, musical voice say: “Good evening, Miss Foster." Sloane paused momentarily as if to say something more, and then passed out of the restaurant. “W’hat an interesting looking man,” Helen found herself saying. “He is interesting, wickedly so.” Adele replied. “I met him a long time ago at a dinner party. I am surprised that he remembered me.” Nothing more was said of Sloane. But after she had said good night to both Lansing and Adele, Helen owned to herself that she was enor mously interested in this very weary, blase looking man whose sombre eyes had seemed to pierce her very soul. Some terrible sor row—perhaps something like her own—had touched his life, had uurn ed him. For gloom rode him, drag ged down his broad shoulders, dull ed his eyes. He was the very pic ture, of a man who had nothing left to live for, had not the faintest interest in life. “What a goose 1 am to build a story about him just because he looks unhappy. He’s probably squeezed all the good out of life and is simply bored,” she muttered to herself, but in her dreams men with sombre eyes passed back and forth, always an invitation to her. (To Be Continued.) The Country Home BY MRS. W. H. FELTON WATCH Dn>HT2ERIA Dear Grandmother Felton: 5Ve have just lost our little boy, nearly 2 1-2 years old. His name was Wood row Truman. I wanted to name him Felton. It is such a treacherous and deadly disease, that I desire you shall warn the mothers, through The Journal, to be on the lookout for and to inform themselves about it. I did not know—l knew nothing about it until it was too late. My darling told me all the week that he was tired, but did not complain in any other way. He seemed to have only a cold. He had a dry, rasping cough. I doc tored him faithfully for that. Al though he grew worse, it was only Thursday night that he was sick enough to cause alarm, and he died Saturday morning. If you are familiar with this dread disease, teli your Journal readers all about it, but if you are not familiar with it, get information from a doc tor or a bulletin, which anyone can get by writing to the state board of health. Tell them something of the disease and urge them to send one of their free bulletins and read all about it; Sincerely your friend, MRS. J. G. V. What About the Coal Situation? A kind providence has favored us, for this is now December 6, and we have not had any very severe weath er to date. But the time has come to have cold weather and it is lake grass in spring when the season of the year comes to have either grass or cold weather, set it down in your ledger that both will be here on time. I bought some coal at sls a ton a few days ago. It is good coal, but it burns up very briskly. It means to do its duty and that is to burn up. So the winter will set in in short order, and may the dear Lora have pity on the people who must have a fire, and nothing but ?la a ton to be had. . _ Cold can produce any amount of suffering without heat to warm, and nourishing food to supply the needs of the inner man. Don’t misunderstand the situation. Coal at sls per ton means exquisite suffering for those that are old a;‘d those who are .in poor health, we should face the problem that is here upon us. . „ . How th® Cotton Slump Work® Dear Mrs. Felton: I have been reading your letters in The Journal for twenty years. I here wish to express my thanks to you for your good letters, ’also my great esteem for you, as one of our best writers and our noblest spirits in this age. Sometime ago you wrote about the slump in the price of cotton. My memory is not very good and I have failed to find the article. I was impressed by what you wrote on the slump in cotton and how it would affect the farmers I am now going to relate a cir cumstance which occurred in this community: / I called on a family yesterday who had made a trade with the landlord—buying a mule from him on a credit, and promising to pay two bales of otton of cotton rent. He made thre bales and more than half of another bale. It took two bales to pay the landloard —another bale went for guano. He had bought his rations from a merchant and feed for his mule from another, without /the landlord going his security. He made only a small corn crop and the family is in sore need of clothes. They have next to noth ing but three children. There are numbers of such cases all over this country. On Sunday last there was a fu neral at our church, and it was quite cold to go out barefooted —but there were little children there barefooted —because the people were not able to buy shoes. Yet we are urged to buy shoes and clothes, and we are asked to feed and clothe the children of other countries, when our own race are thus bare of clothes and good food to eat. There are plenty around us that fail to go to church because they are ill-clad and destitute. The situation is getting alarming. I see some of the leaders are brag ging that this country is prosper ous. It is not true in my section. Such a calamity like this has not come to the south in a long time. I felt like I must write and tell you how much good your letters have done me, and here’s hoping you may live many years yet, so you can continue to write for’ us, your inspiring letters. MRS. J. J.

They all say it is, to inter viewers. And they do have to stay up late. And some day the S. P. C. movie actresses will do something about making a 90-pound movie ac tress carry around a mink coat that would tax the resources of Jack Dempsey, both at the shop and after he was inside it. Not to mention dancing and shak ing hands and listening to people saying isn’t she too perfectly sweet and so on. Being a movie actor must be hard work, sure enough. I do not know much about movie actors of either sex. The first one I ever talked to was Warren Kerrigan, for* whom I have a kindly remembrance dating back before the historic Volstead act. He was working hard, too. He wore a leather coat and made speeches. At the auditorium Wednesday night there were about 5,000 movie fans and fannettes and a Scotch band and Eugene O’Brien, who also seemed to me to have a trace of Irish or Scotch in his English ac cent, and the bevy of screen queens, headed by Miss Martha Mansfield and Miss Louise DuPre and Miss Muriel Ostriche and Miss Willie Mae Carson and Miss Helen Gardner —I believe that is all there were; if there were any more I would also say they were heading the delegation. Gorgeous Coat There also was a government man there, a Mr. Orrin C. Lester, who made an impassioned oration on “Savings” just before Miss Ostriche and Miss DuPre were presented to the assembled populace, the latter wearing a Lucille frock, and the for mer a mink coat that gauged by Mrs. Lucille’s reported rates and the com parative dimensions must have cost upwards of $20,000. Mr. YVylie West made the intro ductions in his very best style, and back-stage, while Mr. Lester’s elo quence was in progress, I discovered William McKenzie, who had out dressed Mr. O’Brien by a narrow but perceptible margin; and Jake Wells, who informed us that he had retired from the stage business and was now a country innkeeper. To prove it he showed us pictures of the inn, a most alluring place, at which Mr. Wells said that indigent actors and newspaper men always would be welcome as long as they had plenty of money. Meanwhile, Mr. Lester had finished his thrift speech and a delegation had arrived from Druid Hills, includ ing Mr. O'Brien, Miss Mansfield and a lot of exhibitors and exchanges, and the program proceeded with speeches. Mr. O’Brien was in a gen ial frame of mind. He expanded gen erously and appeared disposed to hop about and sing in the sunshine. He interrupted his speech to drag forth Miss Anna Eugene Aiken, editor of the Weekly Film Review, for whose middle name he had a manifest pre dilection, and Miss Mansfield; and having anchored himself firmly be tween the blushing damsels he ex plained plaintively that Fuzzy YY’ood ruff had deserted him basely and that he required moral support. Stars Good Speakers All the screen stars were speakers of merit in at least one particular— their speeches were short. They also managed to say something while they were speaking, which is not per fectly usual in such matters. Then they got the mob back and had the grand march, which at times resembled a snake dance, owing to the happy eccentricities of the lead ers, who had plenty of room to in dulge certain vagaries of idea in re gard to the pattern on which a grand march should be marched. And then they had dancing, after the gentle manly announcer had announced through a megaphone that tagging would not be permitted, conveying to certain old-fashioned persons a hazy impression that there was not going to be any of this I-tagged-you now-you-tag-me business. There wasn’t, but there was a prodigious scramble to dance with the pret tiest, if not to kiss the one you loved the best; and they all were easy enough to look at. I must here interpolate a feeble note of appreciation for the under students. They were there in pla toons. both homme and femme. They had their hair polished like that of Wallace Reid, or marcelled as nearly as possible like Mr O’Brien's, and among the opnosing sex they wore clothes just as nearly exactly like what Miss Ostriche and Miss Gardner and Miss DuPre were expected to be •’oing to wear as human ingenuity .'nd forethought could devise. And all evening, homme and fem ■id, they moved about with their bins in the air and were mistaken or movie stars by Mr. and Mrs. H. ’olioi. who nudtred each other and New Method Makes Music Amazingly Easy to Learn Learn to Play or Sing in Spar Time at Home—Every Step Made Simple as A B C TRY IT ON APPROVAL How often ha. you wished that y knew how to pl; the violin or piano or whatev. your 1 vorite instrume may be —or that j could take part . singing!

Or those long ana lonesome evenings at home, when minutes seem like hours—how quickly the time would pass If you could spend it at the piano or organ—or in mak ing a violin ‘‘talk,’’ >r in enjoying some other instrument. And now—at last — this pleasure and sat isfaction that you have so often wished for can easily be added to your dally life. No need to join a class or pin down to certain hour for lessons or prac- tice. No need to pay a dollar or more per lesson to a private teacher. Neither the question of time nor expense is any longer a bar—every one of the obstacles that have been confining your enjoyment to mere lis tening have now been removed. My method of teaching music—in your spare time nt homo with no strangers around to embarrass you—makes it amazingly easy to learn to sing by note or to play anv instrument. Y’on don’t need to know the first thing about music to begin—don’t need to know cne note from another. My method takes out all the hard part—overcomes all the difficulties—makes your progress easy, rapid and sure Whether for an advanced pupil or a be ginner, my method is a revolutionary im provement over the old methods used by private teachers. The lessons I send you explain every point and show every step in simple Print-and-Picture form that you can’t go wrong on—every step is made aa clear as A B C. i£v metlmd makes each made comments of delirious pleas antness to understudent ears. Scene Shot sVhile the dancing was in progress about an acre of spectators found their way back to the studio, back of the stage, presided over by Carl Rountree, where a couple of scenes were “shot”—with blanks, I fan cy—to show the populace how it was done. It was particularly interest ing to see an actor, supposed to be half of a rather exuberant sofa-scene, continue talking away to himself aft er the rest of the sketch departed, probably to dance. Miss Mansfield and Mr. Ginsberg gave the scene, after Miss Ostriche had behaved as much as possible unlike her ornitho logical namesake—and why should she hide such a darling little head, anyway, as one rapt school-girl sug gested. Then Miss Marion Ivie Harris danc ed—Atlanta girl, student at Woodber ry, pupil of Mrs. Spiker—and gave a remarkable exhibition considering that the phonograph was in competi tion part of the time with the Scotch gangsome in the offing and part of the time with the Hanson Male Sex tet of saxophones, and so forth. Other solo features of the program were Miss Bonnie Connors, Hieland dancer; Jimmie Howard, xylophone expert; Bobbie Brollier, tenor, and Catherine Murdoch, soprano. I regret to inform a palpitant pub lic that Lillian Gish has not shown up yet, nor has Constance Talmadge, but either may appear at any moment, the management asserts, and the lat ter is no farther away than Miami, anyway. Mr. O’Brien and Miss Mansfield and their party will be leaving at midnight Thursday, so Thursday eve ning will be the last chance to see them. Atlantians Get Chance Miss DuPre says she is going to select an Atlanta boy and girl to take part in her new production, “The Lamp-Lighter,” basing her choice on the imitation contests held at the auditorium. The lucky pair will get a trip to Florida and New York, and a crack at a future on the screen. Thursday is South Carolina day at the exposition, and the afternoon pro gram will have three dancing pupils of Mrs. Spiker and three of Senia Solomonoff in evidence. The Thursday program follows: 1:30 P. M.—Doors open. 2:30 P. M. —Star impersonation contest for children. 3:30 P. M. —Band concert by Royal Scotch Highlanders. 4:40 P. M. —Introduction of stars by Wylie West. 7:00 P. M. —Doors open. 8:00 P. M.—Band concert by Royal Scotch Highlanders. 9:40 P. M.—lntroduction of stars by Julian Boehm. 10:00 P. M.—Grand march led by leading star. Dancing until mid night. For the Young Miss Hand-painted negligee or evening gown hangers can be purchased and make an attractive present to the young girl.
