ELLA WHEELER WILCOX in this letter—the second of the
series advises a schoolgirl about her studies and her attitude to
her teachers.

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:
r-pU a Schoolgirl:
You tell me you hate Latin and
as!; me if 1 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 pco-
Had I a daughter ! should begin
to make her a linguist as soon as
-he could talk; and her schools would

It

is all very
to say we
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 m
gives a woman qT ; > v •' i
numberless op-
portunities for
enjoyment, for
usefulness and
for shining as a
planet a m o n g
stars.
If you are look
ing forward to a
social c a reer,
nothing can 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
i hances for gaining a good salary
than one who knows only English.
Therefore, I would advise you to
apply yourself to your Latin earnest
ly : and then it will be less of a labor
to acquire the French, Spanish. Ital
ian 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.
R< thorough in English and study
its niceties.
Do not be stilted or pedantic, but
no matter what sort of slang and
(oarseness your associates may in
dulge in and think it “smart,” in the
Ymerican 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 bo in learning how to
use your vocal organs in speaking.
It ^s 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
tivate.
In your association with other girls
you would feel deeply hurt if any i
one accused you
of being common
in your looks or
actions. T h e n j
avoid the com- \
inonest qualities
possible in a hu-
man being—jeal
ousies and gos
sip.
Tea cl} 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-
ichievements. or win

pass you in any
any prizes for
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
he 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.

So I finished my breakfast & on 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
hooks under his arm than to walk in

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

newspaper with a spoarting paig In it?
No, lie sed. wen he walked 12 miles for
sumthing to read, it was always a law

I am sur-prised and dls-sapoint-ed in

and go to your s£ut. Study yure jog-

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
theft* wives a good home and
are generous in money matters they
are doing a 1 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 me—I
am a man of affairs—it is necessary
that I ?ee life from all side?.*’
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 in 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 to get
it into her head that the houre 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 dull
routine her life is.
He is vaguely aware that she is not
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 wp„v. 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; lie 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 hpmo,
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 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
e listens gravely to her suggestions.
If husbands could only appreciate
No man would endure the monotony
f a w oman’s life for a week. And yet
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-
V4* that she. as well as you. would
like to see a little of the world. Take
her out and give her a good time once
in a w hile.

“What puzzles me,” said Uncle
Snooks, as he looked up from a book
he was consulting, “is this: If a man is
standing on the side of a hill or moun
tain. how is lie 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 .he 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. ”1 know I look like a strong
man, but out of my fifty years of life
I've spent more than sixteen years 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 Bleepin’ eight hours a

The lesson’ in history was in prog

her class to answer. At last she bright

The story is told that when M. Poin
care. .he new- President of the French
Republic, first entered politics one of
his youthful political opponents taunted
him with his youthfulness.
“I may be young.” M. Poincare re
plied. “out I promise you that some
thing shall be done every day io wipe

An Englishman who had been for a
tour around the world was much an
noyed by a report of his return which
appeared in a local paper. This report
ended.
“His numerous friends are surprised
that lm is unhanged.”
He did not know that the offender v.as
the compositor, who, in setting up the
report, had omitted a letter “o,” thus
substituting the word “unhanged” for
"unchanged,” which the reporter had
written.

something out of bis soup that should

ingredients, thus addressed ids cook:
“Josephine. I am much obliged f< r

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 man, “very well,
and happier than T deserve to be.”
lie stopped, blushing confusedly, then,
within an effort, continued:
“That leads me to my reason for be
ing here this afternoon, Mrs. Minor. I
owe you an apology. When I last saw
you I was under the influence of liquor.”
Beatrice felt her own face flush with
I embarrassment, but she waited.
| “I was unhappy,” the man hurried
on. "There is no denying the fact that,
although t had become engaged to a
i dear girl, I was fascinated by you.”
“Please! Mr. Maynard!” protested the
1 widow’, shocked.
“Don’t stop me!” he continued. "I am
sober now-, so let me eat the humble
pie that is my portion, and that I must
eat if 1 would be comfortable in my own
mind. Yes—I was very much taken with
you. You must know that you have a
manner that attracts any man to whom
you choose to be kind. And I was hon
ored by being one of these for a while.”
He Eats Humble Pie.
"Surely,” objected Beatrice, “you do
not mean to intimate that I fried to
attract you, or that I tried tfo make
you pay attention to me!”
“On tlie contrary,” declared Robert
Maynard, “the fact that at times you
seemed to avoid me. piqued and irritated
me. You know men always want that
which is beyond their reach. So I
made a fool of myself.”
“By admiring me, you mean?” queried
his companion. "You are hardly com
plimentary."
She smiled as she spoke, but there
was a hint of acerbity In her tone, and
the man wds conscious of It.
“Ah.” he begged, “dear Mrs. Minor,
don’t misunderstand me! And please
bear me out! I want to make a clean
breast of the matter.
"I thought myself in love with you.
I was lonely, and when you discouraged
my attentions r was angry. Then I met
Miss Damerel frequently. You know
how lovely she is. I asked her to mar
ry me: She accepted me.
“Then she went away to the country
and I was left without the charm of
her presence, and suddenly I found my
self caring a great deal about you. 1
saw that you were tired of me, that you
doubted me, that you disapproved cf me.
And one day when I was unhappy I
took more liquor than I should have
taken—and I called on you and said
many things for which I now apologize.
Will you pardon me?"
Beatrice thought quickly, but there
w-as no perceptible 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 my 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 where Miss Damerel was
staying, that, after all, she was the one
woman in the world for me. Then I w’as
heartily ashamed of my behavior while
away from her.”
Beatrice's sense of humor asserted
itself, but 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 arc 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. ”1
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 accept 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 was 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 hud
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 hail received the news
that his wife was dead.”
“Dead!” ejaculated Beatrice. “His
wife?”
“Yes—I thought you probably had not
heard of it. She led him a dance all
right, neglecting Ids 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 when she was in
it, and stayed away from it as much as
she could.
“At last she ran away, without the
shadow of an excuse. Poor old Paul
waited until lie 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 he dies!”
Beatrice tried to speak, but her tongue
failed to do her bidding. Her bands
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, but, 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
lips, he was gone.

“Cook,” said the mistress, “I saw two

CHANGES
By WILLIAM F. KIRK.
a*
P INK Morning comes with petals in her hair,
As fragrant as the kisses of a bride:
Bright noon comes marching with its dazzling glare
To scatter spears athwart the countryside
The purple twilight follows dreamily.
Soothing the senses like a mother’s breath:
Each of these changes through the years we see,
And then comes Night—and Death.
How many, many changes have l seen
Dawn. Noon, the purple Twilight and the Night.
How often have I watched them with a queen,
Dear queen of love who made my years so bright.
Still shift the scene and still the seasons whirl,
And eagerly I watch them, for I see
In every tint the tresses of the girl
Who smiles and beckons me.
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
W HEN all of a family start out
together, it is one of three oc
casions that calls them: A
family reunion, a. visit to the photog
rapher for the purpose of perpetrat
ing a family group, or a funeral. (i
It was the second of these occasions
that w’as causing Lysander John Ap
pleton to walk up and down impa
tiently waiting for his wife and
daughter to get ready. At last they
appeared, and the sight of his daugh
ter caused his wrath, which had lodg
been smoldering, to burst into 'flam-'.
She wore low shoes and silk stock
ings. though the day was cold. Her
skirt was so tight she walked gin
gerly, and her hair was so combeti,
that only enough of her face showes*
to prove she was not afraid to foul
with her complexion.
Her large hat was adorned with a
long feather, and the skin of an ani
mal which she w'ore as a fur was Q 0
draped as to show her bare chest.
■ Now, what'makes you rig yourself
out like that?” he thundered. “If you
want to look decent, why don't $oci
dress as your mother dressed when
she was a girl?”
He scolded louder and longer, elab
orating and emphasizing - , and de
nouncing the horrors of modem dress,
so absorbed in his eloquence he did
not notice that his daughter had k\Ct
the room.
He w*as still clawing the air and
storming, after the manner of the
male worm when it thinks it is 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
in 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.
‘ I 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?”
”1 am dressed,” said his daughter,
making another curtsey, “as mother
dressed when she was a girl.”
Lysander John threw himself ou'
of the room. Reaching his den, he
shut the door with a crash.
There was no family group perpe
trated that day.
