1 THE GEORGIAN'S MAGAZINE PAGE 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 When a Thing’s Beyond Explaining By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. i Why did phe love him? furious fool be still. Is human love the growth of human 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 nent In the man she later meets. And 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 safeguard parents can throw around a girl to prevent her from loving Ihe type of man they abhor, and which she in Proprietary Medicines are usually the result of the wholesale preparation of some mother's recipe or doctor's prescription which has been found especially successful in relieving the ailments for which it is prepared, and which has stood the test of time. Such Is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound, originally prepared from roots and herbs for female ills by Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn. Mass. I-'ot nearly forty years it has proven a great benefactor to the women of America in relieving female diseases of every na ture. Its wonderful success proves its merit.

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. “Live, work and love; as heaven as sign. Eor heaven, nr man. thy sacred pari; Ancestress of a noble line. Or calm in maidenly decline; Rut keep till death the woman's heart 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. Her Audience Diggs— My wife is a wonderful vo calist Why, I have known her to hold her audience for hours Riggs- (Jet out!

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!
