Laying Up Trouble ®
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
MARY ANNE writes:
“I am a young woman of 20
and am In love with a young
man of 22. He has been calling on me
twice a week for a year, and I am posi
tive he loves me, but he is terribly
bashful Pad has never said anything
about his love for me.
“Do you think it would be unlady
like if I took advantage of Leap Year
and proposed to him?”
I am surprised that a girl with such
a nice, old-fashioned name should ask
such a foolishly modern question.
A girl named Mary Anne, by every
right of tradition and custom, should
be content to let romance travel its
sweet, old-fashioned course. She should
know that a love that is forced, like a
flower that is put through the hothouse
process, is never so fragrant and never
so hardy and never so lasting
A man who is “terribly bashful” has
much in his favor, and if Mary Anne
were as sensible as her name she
wouldn't want him changed one whit.
He I? slow, perhaps, but. being slow,
be is more sure. He may not declare
his love on first or second sight, and
may not speak or hint of It for month
after month, but at least he has this
rarest of all merits —he is not declaring
1t to other girls.
One Comfort at Least.
If bashful with Mary Anne, he is not
flirting with others. She is spared the
great tormenting doubt of Inconstancy.
If Mary Anne, in the years to come,
is ever in love with a man who isn’t
bashful, and who proposes marriage
as glibly and easily as he would pro
pose an Ice cream soda, she will learn
that a bashful lover is the most de
sired of all men.
We will suppose that Marx Anne
proposes marriage ,
She will find. Instead of making a
hu«band of a lover, she has frightened
her lover away.
No man with a man's blood in his
veins wants a woman to take the in
itiative in this most important of all
steps. It is a right he reserves sacredly
for his own. and woe he to the girl who
usurps it.
The bashful man may prove so bash
ful he lacks courage to act on the first
impulse of his timid heart, which is to
reject the proposal. He may accept
because he is too bashful not to. and
they marry.
Matrimony has away of rubbing off
the last vestige of timidity that clings

wiII?—LORD BYRON.
A GIRL falls in love with a man.
The world lifts its hands In
amaze.
"Whatever," it asks, "does she see in
him ?”
A question as old as love itself, and
on» that has never been answered.
Such strange matches are made that
one wonders sometimes if Cupid is not
only blind, but insane. P’or surely no
one with sanity would have made such
misfits of matrimony.
Why Is It?
A girl is taught to abhor a certain
type of man. She learns the lesson.
Indeed, often she abhors that type
without having heard a parental warn
ing. It seems to be her nature to de
spise that characteristic most promi

loves!
This happens so often that one must
conclude the heart and the head met in
conflict, and the heart won.
It is so sure- to win that the onh

girl to prevent her from loving Ihe type
of man they abhor, and which she in

to a man. He may have been a shrink
ing creature before, but he is fearless
now.
"Bashful Man" finds much in matri
mony that is not to be compared with
floating on a rose petal oxer Elysian
fields.
Every one makes this discovery, and
when “Bashful Man" makes it. it Is no
disparagement t<» Mary Anne.
A Glimpse of the Future.
But there is this difference: She pro
posed marriage, and therefore she is to
blame for everything in it that proves
disappointing.
“If you hadn't proposed.” he will be
gin every hit <»f fault-finding. “If you
hadn’t propp'd, we would have es
caped all this trouble."
“11 is all your fault.” he will sax
again: “you asked me to marry you.
I didn’t «isk you to marry me.”
With the courage bom of repetition
he will soon persuade himself that he
never loved her. that marriage was the
last thought in his mind. It will be
only a short step from this opinion
to the belief that she deliberately
hunted him down.
A man’s grievances are many, ami
he grows eloquent in their recital.
“Bashful Man" will enlarge upon the
wrongs which grew out of the usurpa
tion of his right until he has pictured
his wife as a fierce, devouring monster
and himself as her innocent and help
less victim.
If there are any children to such a
union, the storx that mother proposed
will not dignify mother. Neither will
it make a hero «»f father.
Mary Anne can’t upset old-fashioned
customs and make her happiness se
cure on the chaos that results.
She can’t take to herself a right that
doesn’t belong to her. and retain the
man's love or respect for the usurpa
tion.
She must let love take its way. and
If that way be slow, she has cause for
being glad.
If it is honest, sincere and mutual, it
is the happiest part of a girl’s life
when it is in the stage of developing,
and any effort to hasten it means to
lose much of the sweetness and joy’ on
the way.

her acquaintance to the type of men
they approve. Girls are permitted an
acquaintance with men who are not
desirable as friends, and much less
desirable as sweethearts.
It has been said, and it is proven
every day. that a father will permit
a. young man to take his daughter out
with whom he would not trust his
horse.
■Mothers Lax.
And mothers are just as lax. They
know their daughters have made a
new acquaintance, often they do not
know how. and usually they don't know
whom. The young man calls, and is
weil treated. He takes the girl out
frequently, he calls regularly, love de
velops. and THEN and not till then,
do the parents investigate.
The Investigation leads to alarm,
but it is made too late. The mischief
has been done. The girl they taught
to abhor certain characteristics in men
has fallen in love with a man who pos
sesses all or the worst of them.
They wonder at her They marvel
that all their years of training should
have so little effect.
They should wonder at themselves.
They should marvel that parents can
he so kind.
They know the destination of a cer
tain path and saw their daughter
start on it without a single misgiving.
They welcomed the youngjnan many
times, and their welcome ami lack of
disapproval helped to win him away
1n her heart.
Parents to Blame,
They know that love is not the
growth of human will. Therefore they
should have seen to it that their
daughter did not have Opportunity to
meet, to know, to love a man of whom
they could not approve.
The blame for the tragedy of a mis
placed love rests on their shoulders.

Ry LILLIAN LORRAINE.
ARB you one of the girls w ho wilt
on the first hot day? If you are
1 pity you, because there is
nothing so depressing as knowing that
the hot wave is depriving you of ah
your prettiness and every atom of en
ergy as well.
Wilting is fatal tn beauty, and th*
girl who wants to he pretty ought to
do every thing she c m to prevent he»
self from fading away like a wot -
begone lily when the
goes aeroplaning around in the nlrv -
1 tes.
The girl who wilts in the heat usu
ally has straight hair. I know she
thinks it s a curse from heaven, and.
frankly, I am sorry for her. especially
if she feels that she must have curls
to be presentable. Perhaps she can
wave her hair with water or wate»-
with a little sugar dissolved in it. Tin
water wave is done by wilting th
hair and then arranging it in ringlets
and curls on the fo'lmad and binding
a piece of ribbon or cheesecloth over
it until It is quite dry. Don’t try to
curl any but your front hail for sum
mer; and. first of all. see If you can
not weat it in some other style which
will not require curling. This year
there are all kinds of pretty ways of
doing hair with short bangs and two
braided knots over th* ears or a slight
pompadour and knot at the back
Parting the hair either at the sid< or
in the middle, of the forehead and
looping it up with side combs is all
the fashion, and the small coronet
braids are pretty and don’t require
much frizzling
Don’t Tire Your Head.
In summer time don’t tiro your head
with too many hairpins.
I frequently think that nomen
wouldn’t feel so hot if they didn’t look
both warm and mussy Those short,
straggly hairs In the nape of the neck
make one look quite neglected and
untidy. A hair net or ribbon will
keep those short hairs from falling
and will add to the general neatness
Besides, a net does not take as many
hairpins if it’s one of those quaint
old-fashioned ones. with the velvel
ribbon around the edge.
I never weat collars in summer
time, and that isn’t just because 1
don’t want tn ruin my neck. I’ve
always felt choked in a high coliar,
and 1 think they make one feel
warmer than anything else. Os course
1 know they are supposedly fashion
able for street wear in Paris, but
Paris doesn’t enjoy a nice tropica!
American summer like ours
Another thing for the wilting, weary,
warm summer girl to remember Her
stockings White stockings are th*-
very best, and if your feet hurt you
change both stockings and shoes -very
day and go about bare footed as much
as you can and bathe the feet night
and morning either in salt water o'
in water with a few bits of borax
Fussy Clothes.
Don’t waste a bit of energy wearing
fussy clothes. Somehow very elab
orate summer dresses. unless they
are creations of a great dressmake «
art, never look as pretty as simple
things, and it Is a mental strain to
try to keep them clean Rut if you
wear simple things try tn have then)

If you don't fee) perfectly fresh hi
sifmmer and are conscious that the
frill at your neck should have been
laundered or the lace around the cuffs
pressed out again, you are only adding
to your physical discomfort

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
Dear Miss Eairfax:
I am in love with a young man who
shows great attention to me when we
are alone, but when in th* 1 presence of
others he pays very little attention to
me .J F F.
Just what do you expect from him
when others arc around'.’ He should be
attentive and friendly, but never loving
in the presence of others Sm h out
bursts of affection in public only serve
to bring ridicule on their object
If you mean that is not civil to
you, or ignores you altogether, it in
dicates he Is not proud of yout friend

with him a moment to<» soon.
YOU ARE RIGHT.
Dear Miss Eairfax:
I am a ynung lady .’4 years old
About a year and a half ago. while
visiting a girl friend in a distant city. I
met man seven years my senior. I
visited my girl friend twice since then
and each time this young man wae

but 1 don't want him to know it. H»
is a chauffeur earning about tl<H» a i
month, with all expenses paid, and
works ail the time. He said he would
never marry hr a chauffeur, and Hbout ’
two months ago he wrote me he intend
cd going in the liquor business I told
him if he did so our friendship wnn'd I
be at an end He then wrote a nice let- |

If you drink a great deal of water

Daysey May me and Her Folks
BY FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
WITHOUT doubt every man in the
world decided when he heard
there was a Danger Age tor
women that his wife had reached it and
took some pleasure in telling her so
Ly sand er John Appleton proved to
his own satisfaction that the Danger
Age for women covers all the time be
tween the ages of his wife and daugh
ter and took an owl-like delight in tell
ing them so.
Even a worm of the fair sex will
turn, and Mrs. Appleton. and Daysey
Mayme turned simultaneously, with the j
discovery that ALL TIME is the Dan
ger Ago for man. and wrote their con- I
