LETTERS TO GIRLS
ELLA WHEELER WILCOX in this letter—the second of the
senes—advises a schoolgirl about her studies and her attitude to
her teachers.
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
1 -vO a Schoolgirl:
You tell me you hate Latin and
asU me If I think you should
spend so much time on a dead lan
guage when there Is not time enough
for all the things you long to study.
My ideas of education for girls do
not coincide with that of many peo
ple.
Had I a daughter I should begin
in make her a linguist as soon as
she could talk; and her schools would
lie selected for that purpose in the
main.
It is all very
well to say we
,an travel the
world over with
only the English
language in our
brains and on our
tongue's end; but
I assure you, my
dear girl, travel
is intensified in
pleasure and
profit ten per cent
by every lan
guage we know.
Besides this, fa
miliarity -with
other languages
gives a woman
numberless op
portunities for
enjoyment, for
usefulness and
for shining as a
planet among
stars.
If you are look
ing forward to
social c a reer,
nothing cart be
more valuable to
you than ac
quaintance with languages; and if
you are expecting to be self-support
ing you will find a linguist who reads
and writes two languages besides
English has many more desirable
chances for gaining a good salary
than one who knows only English.
Therefore, I would advise you to
ipply yourself to your Latin earnost-
l> ; and then it will be less of a labor
10 acquire the French, Spanish, Ital-
un and German—one or all of them.
But unless you mean to study some
language I see no benefit In your giv
ing time to Latin.
Be thorough In English and study
iis niceties.
Do not be stilted or pedantic, but
no master what sort of slang and
coarseness your associates may in
dulge in and think it "smart,” in the
American way of applying that word,
avoid all loose and sloppy language,
as you would avoid soiled clothing.
The rarity of good English (or good
American) among our high school
and college graduates is shocking and
humiliating to one who takes pride
in being an American.
The rarity of well placed voices is
equally shocking and ear-bruising.
An important part of your educa
tion should be In learning how to
use your vocal organs in sneaking.
Beatrice Fairfax Says Women Need Diversion as Much as Men Do, and Gives Advice on
HOW TO KEEP YOUR WIFE CONTENTED
MANY HUSBANDS MAKE THIS SAD MISTAKE!
It is being taught by specialists
today; and you should consider it
an imperative duty to begin now in
this course.
Find time Saturday, each week, if
you have no other free hour, and get
the rudiments of voice placing, be
fore you form bad habits of speak
ing with a nasal, or a throaty, or a
heady voice.
An agreeable speaking voice is one
of the greatest charms you can cul- i
tivate.
In your association with other girls
you would feel deeply hurt if any
one accused you
of being common
in your looks or
actions. Then
avoid the com
monest qualities
possible in a hu
man being—jeal
ousies and gos
sip.
Teach yourself
to praise freely
and criticise rare
ly; and when you
have a criticism
to make, make it
only to one whom
you feel can be
helped by your
words to over
come a fault
—never behind
the back of the
offender.
Learn to sympa
thize with your
schoolmates i n
their trials, but
also learn what is
harder still: to
rejoice with them
when they sur
pass you in any achievements, or win
any prizes for which you may be
seeking.
Root out envy and jealousy from
your nature, and know in so doing
you will make yourself more lovable
and more admired than by attaining
the highest school honors.
Character building is a greater
work than brain building.
Be ready to share your best friends
with others, and do not be one of
those exacting and unreasonable
girls who wants no one to love or
be loved by her friends but herself.
In every community and school
such types are common, and it always
savors of pettiness and lack of broad
and noble qualities. Just as each
flower in the garden has its place,
so each friend and acquaintance - has
a place; and no one should crowd
another.
Be helpful wherever you can, and
be appreciative of the hard work
your teachers have done and are do
ing to fill their positions. Teaching
is one of the most trying and nerve
taxing occupations, and if you show
consideration, affection and courtesy
to your teachers it helps to lessen
their troubles and gives zest to their
labors.
Even as a pupil, remember, you
have something to give as well as
something to receive.

sed, now you hurry up & git yure
breakfast finished and go to skule. If
you ast me another question about base
ball I am going to use the pam of my
hand for a bat, Pa sed, and preetend
that you are a baseball yureself.
So 1 finished my breakfast & on the
way to the skule hous I bought a pa
per. I thot that if I got to skule
erly, I cud git the prin-ciple to read me
something about how the players was
gitting along at the beginning of the
seeson.
The prin ciple was thare wen I got
thare & i- gaiv him the paper and ast
him if he would plees reed me some
news on the spoarting page. What do
you want me to reed the spoarting
page for, the prin-ciple ast me. 1 want
to know if Brady’s w’ing is alright. I
toald him. Brady's what? said the. prin-
ci-ple. His wing. I sed, his whip, T mean
his arm. I am sure I am not in-ter-
ested in the person you speek of, sed the
prin-ciple, and beesides I think it would
look a lot better for a liddel boy like
you to come to skule with his skule
books under his arm than to walk in
heer and show me a vul-gar spoarting
page.
Thare was newer a grait man, the
prin-ciple sed, that started erly in life
reading spoarting pages. Do you sup-
poas, he sed to me, that George Wash
ington would walk 12 miles to buy a
newspaper with a spoarting paig in it?
No, he sed, wen he walked 12 miles for
sum thing to read, it was always a law
book or the work of some grate mas
ter that he brought home with him.
I am sur-prised and dis-sapoint-ed in
you, Robbie, he sed, give me that paper
and go to your seat. Study yure jog-
raphy lesson, he sed, so you wont tell
aggen to-day the way you did yesterday
that Brazil was the capitol of Florida.
So T w’ent to my seet and studied
m\* jografy until the rest of the skol-
lers cairn, but 1 notised that wile I was
studing the prin ciple was all the time
reeding the paper 1 had brot him & I
was almost sure that it was the spoart
ing page he was looking at.
All of the kids made mis-takes in their
lessons all the foorenoon. I gess thav
was all thinking about baseball same
as me. beekaus wen the teecher asked
Reddy Blake who was the grailest liv
ing Amarikan outside of Rusevelt Red
dy sed Billy Smith, and wen teecher
asked the boy next to him who was the
graitest Living Amarikan he sed Otto
Jordan. , , ^
The teecher dident know’ what to
think & the prin-ciple got auful meen
and gave all of us a sk oald ing. He sed
he dident have any little boys, but if
he did have he heaped thay would not
grow up to be silly & go crazy over
baseball. , , ..
\ ft or skule was oaver some of us kids
was going hoam & we heard two men
-luarling about baseball. We cud heer
them a block.
Billy Smith is going to have another
pennant w inner this veer, sed one of the
men. , ,
You are erazv, plum crazy, sed the
other man, the Crackers will be lucky

Don’t Tie Her Up
at Home All •
the Time
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
A GOOD many husbands labor un
der the idea that if they give
their wives a good home and
are generous in money matters they
are doing all that should be expected
of them.
“Woman’s place,” a man argues, “is
at home. She should be Quite happy
attending to her house and children;
they should fill her life.’ As for tne— I
am a man of affairs—it is necessary
that I see life from all sides.”
He expects his wife to be perfectly
content in the narrow confines of the
home circle. If she grows dull and
unattractive he finds recreation fn the
society of some other woman.
Too much of any one thing is bad
for everybody, and too much home and
babies is bad for even the most do
mestic of women.
It is very easy for a woman 1 to get
it into her head that the houee and
children can not possibly get on with
out her even for a day.
The Difference.
Her husband, who should be the one
to get her out of her rut, is too much
absorbed by business, politics or out
side pleasures to notice what a'dr.ll
routine her life is.
He is vaguely aware that she is not
as' attractive as she used to be, but as
long as his meals are good and he is
comfortable he does not much care.
He loves her, of course, but in a
very prosaic, take-it-for-granted sort
of wq,y. He would miss his comforts
more than her companionship if she
went out of his life.
Sometimes he wishes, discontentedly
that she would be as gay and viva
cious as young Mrs. So and So. whom
he met the other day. He does not
realize that she is swamped with
household cares and a growing family.
It is absolutely necessary that the
mother of a family should' have relax
ation. The father has his business,
with its varied interests and excite
ments. He probably belongs to a club
of some kind; he has plenty to keep
his mind alert and interested.
But the mother sometimes for days
does not get away from the house and
children. Her husband comes home,
reads his paper and goes to bed. H*r
life goes on day in and day out in the
same old grind.
What She Likes.
How tired she gets of eating and in
many cases cooking the dinners she
orders day after day. How' she would
enjoy t/»iiig out to dinner once a week,
dressed in her prettiest clothes and
dining with a husband who paid her
the little attentions he used to in the
courting days!
The relief of getting away from the
house and even the beloved babies for
a while would be great. ~
A woman likes her husband to talk
his business matters over with her.
She likes to give advice, but that does
not trouble her in the least so long as
he listens gravely to her suggestions.
If husbands could only appreciate
how T much brighter and happier their
wives are for an occasional outing
they w r ould take them oftener.
No man would endure the monotony
of a woman’s life for a week. And yet
they will oondemn a woman to it year
in and year out,* and are astonished if
she finds it dull.
Their pet accusation is that she is
“unwomanly” if she makes any effort
outside the home.
Well, Mr. Husband, the way to keep
her happy and satisfied is to remem-
that she, as well as you, would
like to see a little of the w orld. Take
her out and give her a good time once
in a while.
“Woman’s place,” a man argues, “is at home.”
“As for me,” he says, “I must see life.”

“What puzzles me,” said Incle
Snooks, as he looked up from a bonk
he was consulting, “is this: If a man is
standing on the side of a hill or moun
tain, how is he to settle in his mind
whether It is on an acclivity or decliv
ity? According to my dictionary here,
the former is a ‘slope up,’ and the lat
ter ‘a slope down.' I’ve never yet seen
a slope up that didn’t slope down "

“Yes, ma’am,“ said .Harry, the out-o’-
work man. “I know 7 I look like a strong
man, but out of my fifty years of life
I’ve spent more than sixteen yeahs In
bed."
“Why, you poor man!" replied the
lady, sympathetically, handing him a
copper. “What has been the trouble-
paralysis?”
“No, ma’am," said Harry, “jest a
reg'lar habit of steepin' eight hours a
day, ma’am."

The lesson in history was In prog
ress, and in vain the teacher coaxed
her class to answer. At last she bright
ened up. She had reached the star pu

“Now, Tommy.’’ she said, "Mary fol
lowed Edward the Sixth,' and Who fol
lowed Mary?”
Yes, Tommy knew that, and his an

triumphantly.

The story is told that when M. Poin
care, ihe new President of the French
Republic, first entered pplitics one of
his youthful political opponents taunted
him with his youthfulness.
“I may he young.” M. Poincare re
plied, “but I promise you that some
thing shall be- done every day' io wipe
out that disadvantage.’’
An Englishman who had been for a
tour around the world was.mulch an
noyed by a report of his return which
appeared in a local paper. This report
ended.
“His numerous friends are surprised
that he is unhanged."
He did not know that the offender was
the compositor, w ho, in. setting up rhe
report, had unfitted a .letter “e,“ Unis
substituting the word “unhanged” for
“unchanged," which Ihe- reporter 1 Had
written. -
A particular old gentleman, nufl-ing
something out of his soup .that. .sh*?nl
not have been included among lhe oihc
.ingredients, thus addressed bis Cook:
J “Josephine. 1 am much obliged f«•
J your thoughtfulness; but ne\j time kind
I ly give it to me in a locket.”
W HEN Beatrice Minor and Rob
ert Maynard were seated in the
pleasant living room, there was
a moment of awkward silence, broken
by Beatrice, who asked:
“Have you been well since you left
Pleasanton? I have, heard of you occa
sionally through Mrs. Robbins.”
“Yes.” replied the ma,n,.“very well,
arid happier thqn^I.deserye to be.”
. He stopped, blushing confusedly, then,
within an effort, continued:
“That leads rpp to .ray reason for be
ing here this afternoon, Mrs. Minor. I
owe you an apology. When 1 last saw
you I was under the’’Influence of. liquor.”
Beatrice, felt her own face fiufch with
embarrassment, .but she waited.
“J was unhappy,’’ the man. hurried
on, “There is. jxp denying, ttye fact that,
although I had beeornja. engaged to a
dear girl, I was fascinated by you.”
“Flease!. Mr. Maynard!” protested the
widow', shocked.
. “Don’t siop me!”,he continued. “lam
j sober now, so let me eat the humble
j pie that js my .portion, and that I must
eat if I would be comfortable in my own
mind. ..Yes—I was very.much, taken with
you. You must k n °w dhat you- have a
manner that attracts any man to whom
you choose to be kind. And I was hon
ored by being pne of these for a while.”
He Eats Humble Pie.
“Surely,” objected Beatrice, “you do
not mean to intimate that I tried to
attract you, or that I tried to inake
you pay atteritioii to fne!”
' “On the contrary,” declared Robert
Maynard, “the fact tHat at 'time^ you
seemed to avoid me, piqued and Irritated
me. You know men always want that
which is beyond tlieir. reach. So I
made a fool of myself.”
“By admiring me, you mean?” queried
his companion. “You are hardly com
plimentary.”
She smiled she spoke, but there
was a hint pf acerbity in her ton’e, and
the mkn-was conscious of it.
“Ah,” he begged, “dear Mrs. Minor,
don’t misunderstand , me! And please
hear me out! 1 want to make a clean
breast of the matter.
"I thought rqyself in love with you.
I was lonely, and when you discouraged
my attentions 1 was angry. Then I met
Miss Damerel frequently. You know
how lovely she is. T asked her to mar
ry me. She accepted me.
“Then she went away to the country
and T was left without thp cliarm of
her presence, and suddenly I found .my
self caring a great deal about you. I
saw 7 that you were tired of me, that you
doubted me, that you disapproved of me.
And one day when J was unhappy I
took more Ihpior fhhn * I*’should have
taken—and’ I" cfilled- on you and said
many things for which I now apologize.
Will you pardon me?”
Beatrice thought quickly, hut there
was no pert . yUble. pause,before she re
plied: “Certainly, I pardon you. And
I am more than willing to forget it.
Moreover, I consider that the matter
now is none of irffy business.” "’
"Because I am engaged to be married,
you mean?” he asked. “Well, let me
explain that I found, when I went to
the mountains, wjiere.Miss Damerel was
staying, that, after all, she was the one
woman in the world for me. Then I was
heartily ashamed of my behavior while
aw 7 ay from her.”
Beatrice's sense of humor asserted
itself, Hut she repressed it. The words
“How hAppy could I be with either
Were t’other dear charmer away!”
said themselves over in her mind, but
she did not allow them to rise to her
lips. Instead; she gave heed to what
her companion, was saying. ;
“We are to ‘be married In ten days,
you know,” he went on, "and, of course,
my dear little girl wanted to send you
cards for the wedding, but I asked her
to wait, for I wanted to make my peace
with your first.”
“You did not tell her that, did you?”
asked Beatrice abruptly.
“Oh, no. indeed!” Maynard replied, “I
told her it would be best to wait until
I could learn from Mrs. Robbins where
you were. So I wrote and asked her.”
“We came into town last week,” said
Beatrice, to fill in the sudden pause that
followed his speech. Please accppt my
hearty congratulations on your happi
ness.”
She had stopped thinking of this man
and his affairs, and was wishing she
dared ask him about his brother. But
she was afraid to trust her voice. As
if in reply to her thought Robert May
nard spoke suddenly.
“Paul’s Wife Is Dead.’’
“I w 7 as shocked to hear of your mis
fortune by fire, and of the accident to
poor Paul,” he said, heedless of the ex
pression of pain that swept across his
listener’s face. He was one of the men
who like to impart news, and he had
come to tell. “It was strange that this
accident should have happened to my
brother just when it did. For on that
very morning he had received the news
that his wife was dead.”
“Dead!” ejaculated Beatrice. ‘ His
wife?”
“Yes—I thought you probably had not
heard o£ it. She led him a dance all
right, neglecting his only child when it
was a tiny baby, so that it died at less
than a year of age. That woman made
an inferno of his home w r hen she was in
it, and stayed aw 7 ay from it as much as
she could.
“At last she ran away, without the
shadow of an excuse. Poor old Paul
waited until he was certain that there
was no chance of ever having her before
he got a dviorce from her. And in less
than a fortnight after he got his divorce
—in fact, just when he had completed
the entire business—she dropped dead
of heart disease out West somewhere.
So—a merciful Providence freed him at
last. Poor old chap! I hope he will
have some happiness yet in his life be
fore be dies!”
Beatrice tried to speak, but her tongue
failed to do her bidding. Her hands
and feet were like ice. The room
seemed to swim before her eyes. The
sound of the children's footsteps In the
hall roused her from her stunned con
dition, hut, before she could speak, Rob
ert Maynard arose hastily.
“I must go!” he exclaimed. “I left a
taxi waiting down below for me. Good
day, Mrs. Minor! And thank you! And
please come to the wedding!”
He shook her hand quickly, and, be
fore she could find words in which to
ask the question that trembled on her
tips, he was gone.
Robert, the Chaperon.
“Cook,” sa«id the mistress, “I saw two
policemen sitting in the kitchen last
night.”
“Well, mum.” replied Bridget, with
an unabashed smile overspreading her
features, “yez wouldn’t have an un
married lady be sittin’ with only wan
policeman, would yez, now? Shure,
mum, the other wan was the chaperon.”

And Her Folks
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
W HEN all of a family start out
together, it 19 one of three op-*
casions that calls them: A
family reunion, a visit to the photog
raph! r for the purpose of perpe^r^-
ing a family group, or a funera^ j
It was the second of these occasions
that was causing Lysander John ^Ap
pleton to walk up and down Impa
tiently waiting for his wife and
daughter to get ready. At last thjey
appeared, and the sight of his daugh
ter caused his wrath, which had jopg
be-en smoldering, to burst into flame.
She wore low shoes and silk stouk-
lngs, though the day was cold. H£r
skirt was so tight she walked gin
gerly. and her hair was so combed
that only enough of her face showed
to prove she was not afraid to fool
with her complexion.
Her large hat was adorned with a
long feather, and the skin of sun ani
mal which she wore as a fur was so
draped as to show her hare clftfefF'
“Now, what makes you rig ytftfrself
out like that?” he thundered. “If you
want to look decent, why don’t yo/i
dress as your mother dressed when
she was a girl?” f • <■,
He scolded louder and longer, elab
orating and- emphasizing, and de
nouncing the horrors of modern dress,
so absorbed in his eloquence he dfJ
not notice that his daughter had left
the room- »of.
He was still clawing the air. and.
storming, tiftcr the manner of tha
male worm when It thinks it turn
ing at last, when his daughter re
turned.
On her head she wore a poke bon
net of such depth that her face looked
as if at the next turn of the sub-
way. Her hair was plastered
straight, with a circle of bow-catcher
curls that suggested a snake charmer.
Her sleeves were large and volu
minous, and her very full skirts
swayed just enough over Immense
hoops to show that her feet were Clad
1n heavy, cumbersome arctics.
But it was her waist that was most
appalling; so squeezed, so small that
had she swallowed an apple it would
have showed up like a big button at
her belt. .*
“1 am ready,” she said, giving a
curtsey that displayed lace-trimmed
pantalettes that reached her ankles.
“Do you think,” roared her father,
“that I would be seen on the street
with you looking like THAT? r
“I am dressed,” said his daughter,
making another curtsey, "as mother
dressed when she was a girl.”
Lysander John threw 7 himself out
of the room. Reaching his den, he
shut the door with a crash.
There was no family group perpe-
- trated that day.
