you marry a girl who will help support

HE DOESN'T RING. TRUE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen, and about six months
ago I met a gentleman about the same
age. He has asked for my company.
My girl friends tell me ho is no gen
tleman. as he will go with a girl for
two or three months and then leave her.
I spoke to him about the matter. He
said if he didn't care for me he would
never ask me for my company. He
■say s he is Too young to ask my par
ents for my hand. , ANXIOUS.
It seems to me he is a trifier. The
gossip of y our friends is not to be re
lied on. of course, but 1 do not like his
altitude. He wants to monopolize your
company, but says he is too. young to
think of an engagement. Then why
should he rake up yoUr time, gain your
love and keep other men away?

gy PRANCES L. GARSIDE,
IN days of old a woman used her
greatest energy in mashing pota
toes to the consistency of cream.
In these modern times, the same ener
gy is exerted in bringing down a gavel
to call a meeting to order.
Had Lysander John Appleton been
present, he would have been reminded
of the way his wife mached potatoes
in the days before she. sought her
emancipation by the manner in which
she brought down the gavel in calling
to order a meeting of the Look Oni
The Bright Side society.
The club is composed entirely of wo
men. "We who have Man to put up
with." is an oft-quoted saying of the
president, "are the ones who need the
bright side of life."
It was an experience meeting.
“I have been jilted by my sweet
heart," spoke a girl in feeble tones,
"but. at last I have found a bright side.
His jokes were poor and old. and now
that I have lost him and I am. no lon
ger compelled to laugh when I don't
feel like jt, and J am not kept standing
on the cold steps late at night till he
get- through telling what a wonderful
man he is."
"I would add. ' said a sister-member
arising from a back seat, “that you can
also enjoy spring onions."
"I have been kept awake by unneces
sary noises for two nights past." -aid
a new member, "but at least I had no
bad dreams."
"I am grateful.” spoke a fiervous
looking woman, "that the automobile
doesn't make as much noise in propor
tion to its size as the roller skate "
"Hear, hear!" shouted a chorus of
nervous women in loud approval.
"When I went to live with my mar
ried sister.' said a spinster us uncer
tain years. "I found her baby a grea :
trial But I rejoice to say that I am
finding the bright side. When I want
a pin I no longer have to look all over
the house for one. I go to the baby
and always find it sticking one in its
mouth."

Here’s the way— “ Sift together one quart of
flour, one-half teaspoon of salt. With this
mix thoroughly a lump of lard the size of an
egg. Dissolve three-fourths of a teaspoonful
of Eagle-Thistle Soda (of other brands a full
spoonful is required) in a pint of sour milk.
Milk that has been sour for a day or two is
better. Use enough .sour milk in which the
soda has been dissolved to make a rather stiff
dough. Knead the dough until it becomes
smooth and glossy. The amount of soda
. necessary is governed largely by the sourness
of the milk.”

j "I would add." said another spin.
I “that in seasons when mosquitoes are.
! bad, a baby in the room is invalu
able. It attracts all of them."
A woman- arose, dressed in deep
black. There was not a ray of hope in
her face.
"My husband,died a week ago." she
said, "and I have tried ever since to
find a bright side m my bereavement,
but. alas. I can't!"
In an instant 50 women were on their
feet, all gesticulating and talking at
once, ime screamed this, and another
screamed that. Piesident Appleton
rapped with enough energy to mash a
’ bushel of potatws before order was
restored.
"I will ask the members." she said,
"to get H'ir bereaved sister’s address
and send her a few Fright Sides. As
for myself, I have just one thought for
our weeping sister to take home with
her. It is this: At least you know now
where your husband is nights!"
The applau;was deafening
A woman arose who had lost both
arms in a railroad accident. "Will yoii
' look at me," she said, "and dare tell me
there is a bright side to my condition?’ l
The president arose with an air of
gentle reproof.
"Have you been grateful," she said,
"for the two good legs left you for run
ning to bargain sales and fires" '
■ My reminder to our armless sister,"
i she continued, addressing the audience.
"leads me to tell of a time when I
looked on the bright side with a spirit
. that was undaunted.
"ti e live in a little country town, and
the fire-fighting service was inade
, quate.
"One bitter night a fire destroyed our
home, and all that was in if. and my
husband and the children and I just es
caped with our lives.
"'What a splendid thing it is,’ I said
to my husband as v' • itched the
flames, ‘to have witm ssed a fire that
we didn't have to run our legs off to get
• there before the fire department put. it
out!'
“The meeting." she added with that
exultant feeling that only th'*" who
are uplifted know-, “is adjourned."
