TT A OL r ir ^ What Sort of Girl Do Men Like Best? D O women dress to please men or | to please each other? In tl i majority of cases I should sn\ that they dressed to please each other. The average man admires simpli, Ity In dress; the average woman de- I lights in elaborate effects. Not ore man in a hendred looks on the tower ing pompadour as otherwise than atrocious, and yet. sec the vogue it has attained. Every woman likes to |*ear liertasl. in dress praised by her men friends, aut she can not resist the prevaiiin iashions. A gown that every man in / room will disparage will bring a sigh of ervy from every woman present. Careful dressing will improve evert . woman's appearance, but fussy drees - ing will not add to her beauty in the lerst. Girls make a great mintake when they.fuss so much about their clothes as to give men the Impression that they can think of nothing els. Don’t Like Dolls. You see, girls, a young man wants wife, not a dreesed-up doll. The girl who makes her own cloth. .- and presents a neat and smart ap pearance makes a great hit with any young man. He can not help hut think how clever and capable she must be. and that she will, in all prob ability, make a good, economical wif Economy may not sound very n - mantle, but, all the same, it is a very desirable quality In A wife, and one which every man admires. 1 he girl who has thousands to ppend on her dress does not look a whit more winsome than the one who, Sn a small allowance, dresses taste fully and suitably.

There were diamonds, diamonds everywhere—in her corsage, round her neck, in her ears. And, to crown it all, such a pompa dour that I heartily pitied the unfor tunate man who sat behind her. It was a wonderful' pompadour. When it ha'd reached such a height that you felt it must fall off it began all over again in a series Df puffs and curls.

Aunt Emma had no right to ask it! It was too much to expect! Rebelliously Helen threw down this last letter from Warren’s aunt. They had done their share! They had sent that box of clothing—end a check. Until now Helen had not known that Warren had sent the check. She wondered how much it was. Again she took up Aunt Em ma’s letter and for the third time read ii through. Dayton, Ohio. April 9, 1913. Dear Helen—I can’t tell you how thankful we were to get the box. If you only knew how much we needed everything you sent. George was especially grateful for that overcoat of Warren’s, and your brown suit just fit mo. I only had to let out the skirt band. Tell Warren his Uncle George is going to write him and thank him for the check. We hadn’t ex pected that, but it has helped so much. Everything is still in a dreadful condition. The whole house will have to be cleaned and disinfected before anything can he used. The filthy oeposit the flood left over everything is hor rible. And we find that much of the foundation of the house has been washed away. The walls are all cracked and must of the plaster Is off. We have tried to clean out the kitchen and dining room; have tacked sheets over the walls. It will be weeks before we can -get the rest of the house fit to use. Now, Helerp I’m going to ask something of you and Warren, which I want you to feel free to answer frankly. You remerpber jyou once invited Alice to make you a visit. Do you think you could let her come now? If I could only get her away from here for a few weeks it would mean so much to us all. She has not been well all winter, and the horror of this has told on her fearfully. But if you feel that it . would not be convenient, and that 1 am asking too much, please do not hesitate to say so. Boringly. AUNT EMMA. Helen Is Rebellious. No, it was NOT fair! The more Helen read the letter the more re bellious she felt. If Alice must get away, why could she not visit Carrie or some of the other relatives? They were all better able to have her. It was all very well for Aunt Emma to write that they must not hesitate tc say so if it were not convenient, bui she knew they would not say that. Besides the box, Warren had sent a check—that thought kept rankling. Why had he not told her? How much had he sent? And still his Aunt Emma expected them to do more! Then Helen felt suddenly ashamed of her attitude. Was she getting hard and unsympathetic and selfish? Should she he glad to help these rela tives of Warren’s who had been through such a terrible tragedy and had lost practically everything? For the rest of the day Helen’s thoughts and feelings were most complex. Her real desire to be gen erous and helpful was mingled with the rankling rebellion about it all. She had met Alice only once, about two years before, and then she had been a very pretty but rather vain and frivolous .girl of about eighteen. Helen knew that as the only child, both Aunt Emma and Uncle George had petted and pampered her beyond words. And to have this spoiled young woman on one's hands for an indefinite visit. was not a cheerful prospect. Must Send a Check. Helen restrained her impulse to tell Warren about it as soon as he came home, for she wanted him to have his dinner unworriod'. Tbit * after ward when he wars settled in # the library, she handed him the letter with a quiet. “Here’s a letter 1 got from your Aunt Emma to-day.” He read it without comment, put it down on the table ami then gazed frowningly out of the window. Several moments passed and still he did not speak. “What do you think we ought to do, dear,” ventured Helen, finally. Without answering Warren rose and strode up and down the room, his hands in his pockets, frowning down on the floor. He was plainly much upset. “Suppose we’ll have to let her come. Don’t see how we can refuse, do you?” “No, I suppose we can’t,” weakly. ' “And I’ll have to send a check for her fare, too.” “Oh, will Wo have to do that? Whv- surely, Warren, they won’t expect that!” “Well, they've lost everything, haven't they? Uncle George wrote me that all the stock in the store was ruined, and he had only fire insur ance—nothing to cover this.” “But you just sent them a check, didn’t lyou?” longing to ask how much it had been. “Oh, they’ll have used that. Well, we’re in for. it, I guess. You’ll have to write her to come on. Say I’ll send a check for her ticket. But by George, I’ve had a had month, and I can tell you this doesn’t come easy.'! Helen Writes the Letter. “Oh, dear, I’m so sorry?” Helen stroked his arm in tender sympathy, “but think how much bfetter off we are than so many—Those poor people out there who’ve lost everything— whose homes and families have been swept away. At least we have our swept away. At least we have our home and each other.” “Huh, well 1 don't think that's so blamed much. And now we’ve got her coining on here. If any one thinks T’ve got a cinch—well, they’re welcome to my job. I’m not any too keen on it, I can tell you that. Now if you’re going to write that letter, you’d better get at it.” “Oh, Warren, do I have to w T rite it? Hadn’t you better?” “She wrote you, didn't she? You’re the one has to answer.” “What shall I say?” going reluc tantly over to the desk. “I can't truth fully write we’ll be glad to have her come.” "Well, you’re pretty good at lying— so lay it on thick. If we’re going to do the thing at all, we might as well do it up right.” “When shall I say for her to come?’’ helplessly. “As soon as she wants to. No use putting it off." Helen wrote steadily for several loments. “Will this do?” reading aloud. “Dear Aunt Emma -We’ll be very glad to have Alice visit us. We know how difficult things must be for you and are glad of this opportunity to help. 1 have just talked .it over with Warren, and he agrees with me that it will be the best, thing for Alice. We Will do everything possible to make her visit a pleasant one and help her to forget the fear ful ordeal she has beeiv through- “Warren says tell you tye will send a check for her fare in a few days. Bet us know when to ex pect her. “Affectionatelyi your niece, “HEBEN.” "Urn—m, that’ll do, I suppose.” Helen folded the letter and put it into the envelope thoughtfully. “Dear, we’re not doing it very cheerfully, are we? I suppose we oughtn’t to feel so mean about it.” “Huh, we -deserve a lot of credit for doing it at all. You think people do such things-cheerfully? Take it from me that nine-tenths of the so- alled ‘unselfish, generous, charitable’ deeds are done a darn sight more be grudgingly than we're doing this. Here, give me that letter- I'll mail it now.” Recognized It. A certain Bonded clergyman who had been traveling in Greece found himself compelled to stay the night at a monas tery on Mount Athos. The welcome was warm, but the food execrable, in par ticular the s ?up, which the guest could hardly force himself to swallow. Being a classical scholar, his knowledge of ancient Greek helped him to some un derstanding of the monks, who spoke the widely-different modern tongue, and he was astonished to hear that the un palatable soup was an English dish. “FnglishV’ efied one of the monks, adding that an English sailor had been there not long before and recognized it. “What did he call it?” asked the clergyman The monk had to think for a moment before he could recollect the strange English name of that soup. Ah! he had It. It was “bees’ly muck!” GIRB who lives in the moun tains writes from the depths of her trouble heart. I am a young girl of eighteen, and am in love with a young man of twenty-five who lives in the city. He loves my in return and has asked me to marry him. I know that 1 am just a mountain girl who lives in a little town. If he takes me Jto the city, whqre his folks are well-to-do, 1 know’ they will he ashamed of me, and also of him. (’an you tell me how I can learn the city life and look and dress like a city lady? “MOUNTAIN GIRL.” Heaven forbid that i should do a thing so monstrous. If by any thought or suggestion 1 ever influ enced any little girl from the coun try "to learn city lift- and look and dress like a <*ty lady,” then may mv punishment be swift and sure! It could not be worse than my deserts. She loves this man with a single ness of purpose, and with her w’hole heart, he doesn’t love him for what sqch an alliance may bring her in social posltlob or financial returns. She will not give him a heart that is .divided with any other man. She Likes Mountain Air. ..She is t pure and sweet and whole some, like the mountain air she has always breathed, and her love bears the murk of every true woman’s love: Humility. She does not question if he is good enough for her. but if she is good enough for him, and would make' herself over to match what * he dreams might be his ideals. After she has lived in the city a while she will want to make him over! 1 wonder if he appreciates the treasure he is winning! If 1 hoped to make «• “city lady” of her, I would introduce her to every deception beginning with the powder can and rouge pot, and ending Chaos alone knows w’here. L would accompany her to a dress maker, and assist in tearing down every conception she has of decency and modesty. She must w’ear her skirts vulgarly tight, and immodestly short, and the neck cut indecently low r . She must take off those sensible shoes that serve.for purposes of com fort and protection, and put on pumps and silk hose that will cause the eyes of all men to follow her. that being the beginning and end of all ambition of the “city lady.” 1 would give her a hat that is a torture to the head under it, and a torment to all who sit near, but that is indispensable because its gro tesqueness attracts. I wmuld, in brief, take the carp in outfitting her that a sign painter observes in painting a cigarette sign: Anything to catch the eyes of the men! Will His Folks Be Proud? I wonder w^hen she has been made into a “city lady,” and every charm of nature has been tortured, sup pressed, pinched, squeezed and- paint ed into all that is hideous and un natural, if “his” folks will be proud of her. If they are, then they are the kind of relations one is better off for not knowing. I wonder if the man who loves the mountain girl will love her just as much when she has become a victim of the prevailing city life epidemic. 1 doubt it, and because I doubt it I want, this little mountain girl to bring to her city home so much of the strength and purity of her native hills that the hypocrisy of the un natural city life will never find room. The history of this great, old world will prove that ever since man left his mark upon it, the rugged, the strong and the upright have come from the mountains, and the weak and shifting and indecisive have come from the plains. 1 do not want this little girl to become contaminated by the lives of the dwellers in the plains. I want her to be always honest and fearless and sincere. To be natural, to be herself, to be grateful that she was in the beginning, “just a mountain girl.” For she has a heritage w’orth more than any superficial knowledge of, what makes up a “city lady.” V 'f r wr fr j m I H X 1 Ji .i mm ' 4 ^ - , ■ - - %/ //A- ■ - - " " ■.

We have been engaged for nearly one year. She and l both have a very ■ high temper and are very inde pendent, which causes us to dis agree and fuss and burst up for a short time only. Now, 1 think the world and all of this young lady, and ofttimes try to give her advice in the right direction, as I think, because she is young and has nevf'r had the experience of love. For the love I have for her I have stuck to her through u\\ anger and tears. Now, our engagement has been put off for the second time; once on account of (I think) this girl being the main support of her fair ily, and her mother persuaded her out of the notion, telling her to put it off a while longer; and then, when we had ji little dis agreement a few weeks ago, I quietly left her, but did not tell her that I would not be back, thinking that perhaps she would let me hear from her the next day, as she usually calls me over the phone; but, on account of her in dependence, she failed to call me. Finally, her conscience made her speak to me, so she called me over the phone and told me she was in the wrong and wanted us to try it once more, which, of course, l gladly accepted and went back. Would you go on with the young lady and continue my love and affection for her, and in the wind up get married on the day she wishes, after she has already been the cause of tw’o broken engage ments? TROUBLED. Your very mature way of question ing the girl’s good sense is amusing You say she is 18 and too young to know better; and you are only 20! Moreover, I don’t like your compla cency.
