If you Stop to think, you know they are “kin.” One shoddy little kid and her little mother
long to get in. And the other fussy little kid longs to get out—and maybe her I pretty mother
does too—if a fellow knew. One pair longs for softer, lovelier things than they know—the
olher pair thinks a little dirt would be a nice thing. A big iron gate with a magic garden on
one side of if and the dusty street on the other looks like a mighty big barrier between folks, but
it isn't really. They're just kin.—NELL BRINKLEY.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax.
YOU CAN DO NO MORE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
My son, a Jew, is in love with a
Gentile. He has loved her for five
years, and says unless I give my
consent to his marriage I will al
ways regret it. This I refuse to do.
DISTRESSED MOTHER.
Ixive is a thing beyond will or reason.
No doubt in the beginning he thought
as you think, but love swept every
argument away.
You have done all you can do. Trust
and hope for a happy outcome, tor,
though such marriages are not advis
able. they have been known to result In
happiness.
It is a good omen that they have been
true to each other five long years. A
love like that Is superior to any ereed.
Don t. I beg of you, cast him off Go on
loving him, and stand by him, no mat
ter whom he marries.
HER LOVE HAS COOLED.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have been keeping company
with a girl for some months and
lately she has become verv indif
ferent and treats me with coolness
every time I meet her.
I have asked her if I have said
or done anything to her—that I
would willingly apologize—but she
says I haven't, but still treats me
the same. p p
I am sorry for you, but the girl no
longer loves you.
Stay away from her. If she doesn't
miss you and send for you, then I can
offer you no hope.
She saxs you have not offended her;
don't make any more apologies. They
are an unnecessary humiliation.
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been keeping company
with a young man about a year,
and lately 1 have been in tiie hos
pital about four weeks, and while
in there he went with another girl,
and when this girl found out that
he was keeping company with me
she gave him up. Do you think he
loves me? j. t
When a man loves a girl he doesn't
take advantage of her misfortune to
flirt with other girls. The other girl
was considerate to give him up. hut 1
hope you are wise enough to refuse to
welcome him hack with outstretched
aims. He has sinned. Make him do
penance for it

Never Risk Heafth and Clothes.
Mrs. Nexdomabor — “Good morning, Anty Drudge! Can
you lend me a cake of Fels-Naptha soap? When I came
to do the wash this morning, I found that I did not
have any in the house. The grocer told me he was
sold out. He offered to send me over some other kind,
but 1 think too much of my clothes and of my health
and hands to accept any substitute for Fels-Naptha. ”
Ardg Drudge— “lou are perfectly right, my dear. Never
risk those .just as good soaps. Wait here a min
ute, and I will get you a cake of Fels-Naptha.”
It s all right to bake like mother used
to bake.”
But don t wash like mother used to
wash.
I hat was the hard way. Mother, her
self, doesn t wash that way any more. She
has found a better way, the Fels-Naptha
way.
Instead of boiling the clothes and
wearily rubbing them on the board, you
place them in cool or lukewarm water, soap
"ith bels-Naptha, roll tightly and allow
them to soak about half an hour; rub light

our hands don’t crack and get red;
your clothes are saved from the wear of
boiling and hard rubbing; your family is
not driven frantic with steaming, wash day

Not only this; but Fels-Naptha does

Bob and Jim were two Jacks-of-all
trades, and whenever possible worked
together.
One morning Bob came round tn
Jim s house at the early hour of 3. an ,]
having managed- to wake Jim, went
inside.
"Now, then," he cried, “hurry up;
there's a big factory chimney wants
pulling down about a mile away from
here, and I got the tip from the factor-,
foreman that if we could knock twenty
feet of ft before the authorities were
about It would save the expense of a
scaffold, and It w-ould mean a five-doj.
lar note apiece for you and me.”
“What-ho!” cried Jim. “Let's go”
Their destination reached, they
climbed to the top of the chimney an
soon masses of brickwork were fal'.irg
to earth.
A man who lived near was disturbed
by the noise, and started to make a
fuss.
"Here. Bob.” cried Jim, “you climb
down and quiet that fellow-. Keen him
talking while I finish this job up here"
So Bob climbed down and engaged
the Indignant person in conversation.
Suddenly Jim heard Bob calling to
him. and. looking down, saw the friend
gesticulating wildly and beckoning him
urgently to come down. So down .lim
came.
“What's the matter?" he asked
"Let's go home, Jim. thundering
quick; we've been pulling down th
wrong chimney!''
