Daysey Mayme
and Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
WHEN a number of appreciative
souls succeeded a few years
ago In having the second Sun
day in May set aside as Mother’s day,
they little knew what a day of noble
sacrifice they were preparing for Day
sey Mayme Appleton.
It is a day when in homes, church
and Sunday school special homage is
shown to mother; pink carnations to be
given the mothers who are present, and
a white carnation to be worn in mem
ory of the mother who has gone away.
"It is the day.” says Daysey Mayme
with modest avoidance of praise, "when
I never forget 1 have a mother!"
Tomorrow is Mother's day, and
Daysey Mayme has had her picture
taken for the Sunday papers showing
her in her favorite methods of cele
bration.
“I always begin my celebration of
this most sacred of all days," said
Daysey Mayme, “by lying in bed a
little later in the morning.
"I do this that J may have the hour
for undisturbed meditation. As I lie
there and think of the goodness of my
mother, the faint sound of the slam
ming and dropping of kitchen utensils
comes to my ear. forming an appro
priate accompaniment to my thoughts.
"She is not there getting breakfaat
for Ml ! She is experiencing the great -
<si joy lift holds for n mother, and
that Is tie joy of Servile. When 1
t.ii'ili of ill thi: mans to her I am
glad I was born I feel repaid for all
the s' rrov life has brought to me.
She Gets Five Dozen.
"1 always purchase my carnations
on Saturday, and take pride In getting
at least five dozen. It takes that many
to make a < orsage bouquet large enough
to express my love, and, fortunately,
fa the • has an account at the florist's.
Then, too, I always remember that he,
being a More Man. and devoid of sen
timent, will forget tile day, and I buy
an extra dozen to make up for hie lack
of appreciation.
“I always prepare a little poem to
recite while my mother serves me at
breakfast. 1 had thought of one like
this:
"Why so gay. Fond Mother;
Prithee, w hy so glad "
Is’t because hast me. Dear Mother,
Because thou a daughter had'."
"But 1 felt after many Hights with
the Muses that this would be sweeter
because It mentions the carnations:
"Ah, my soul doth poise and swing,
From its earthly habitations;
Recklessly its life 'twould fling
For this bunch of pink carnations.
“I will recite this to tier after I have
dressed for church. Indicating my ear-

It is the zest, the spice, the life of

her car that this languishing youth is
not desirable in her father's eyes, and

Mrs. Workhard (winding alarm clock) —“I alwaysset the
alarm for 4 o’clock on Monday morning, so I can
make an early start with my washing and get through
before dark.”
Anty Drudge—' ‘Nonsense. Just you sleep three .hours
later, and then send to the grocer’s for.some
Fels-Naptha soap, and do your washing the
Fels-Naptha way. Your wash will be on the‘lino
before noon, cleaner and whiter than ever before.”
In India the women still go down to
the river banks and wash clothes by rub
bing them over stones.
They are unprogressive, we say. But
they are no farther behind the times than
the American women who still boil cloth®
and hard-rub them on a washboard. The
women of India don’t weaken their clothes’
by boiling, at least.
The truly modern way of washing is
the Fels-Naptha way. No boiling to
weaken the fibre; no hard-rubbing to wear
and tear. Work saved, time saved, fuel
saved; clothes cleaner. '

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
let your letters be friendly
ONLY.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am sixteen, and while on my vaca
tion last summer met a young man
two years my senior, who seemed to
care for me very much, as he was very
attentive. H easked permission to write
to me, which I gave him, and for the
past few months he has written to me
several times. , I know, .we are very
young, but would like to know whether
jto continue your friendship or not, as I
think very much of him and he seerris
to reciprocate the feeling. READER.
If you know he is an honprable young
man, there would be nothing wrong in
being good friends with him, and there
might be much of mutual benefit. Con
fine your letters to a strictly friendly
basis. Write him nothing that you
would blush, to have your mother see.
Don’t let your pen run away with dis
cretion. Under such conditions, I would
advise you to continue the correspond
ence by all means.
REFUSE HIS ATTENTIONS.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am seventeen and have been keep
ing company with a young man eight
years my senior for the past five
months. A short time ago he asked me
to become his wife. I told him I might
some day. but not for a long time, as I
thought I was too young. He. now
takes it for granted that I will marry
him and speaks of nothing but the fu
ture.
There is a young man whom I have
known sipce I was very young and
whom ! love very dearly. He is now
living in the country, so, of course, can
not see me very often. I have told the
other man about him, but he thinks I
am only trying to make hint jealous.
How can I make it plain to him that I
could never love him as I do the other?
MAUDE.
So long as you accept the attentions
of the first man so long will he have
reason for thinking you will some day
be his wife. You wrong him in en
couraging him while in love with an
other man. Be honest and tell ‘him so.
If he doubts you. refuse to see. him
and he will be convinced.
