As soon us Alice was out of the
loom Helen phoned to Warren.
’‘It’s about Alice! (’an you hear
me? I can’t talk louder—she’s in the
next room. That man is in Philadel
phia now and he’s coming here t<
take her out to dinner at half-past 0.
I‘can’t do anything with, her: she’s
determined to go. How soon * yn you
get here?”
Warren Takes a Hand.
Warren promised to be there be
fore 6. and he kept his word.
"What’s all this about that man
coming here?” he demanded, as Helen
met him in the hall.
“Hush-sh, dear; her door is open.
Come in here.”
Warren listened grimly while Helen
told him of the special delivery let
ter. the telephone call, and of Alice's
determination to see the man when he
ca me.
"Well; you just leave it to me."
It was plain that Alice was expect
ing to go out. for she had put on liei
prettiest gown. Helen hooked it up
for her without comment.
At ti:3o, .just us Maggie was put
ting the dinner on the table, the
phone rang. Warren strode over to
answer it. Helen heard his curt—
“Tell the gentleman to come pp.”
Alice fluttered out. flushed and ex
cited.
"Oh, isn't it some one for me. Cousin
Warren ?"
"1 believe it is.” answered Warren
grimly.
‘Shall 1 receive him in the library,
eagerly, "or the front room?”
“I’LL recelVe him." There was an
ominous note in Warren’s voice.
"Why—why—, Cousin Warren
surely you're not going to make things
unpleasant! You wouldn’t say any
thing that would—”
A peremptory ring of the door bell |
cut short Alice’s appeal, and Maggie
ushered in a swaggering, self-assured j
man of about forty. Immaculately but
flashily groomed. The large diamond j
stud, the heavy walking stick and
gray suede gloves were typical of the
'man.
There was sointhing in Warren’s i
manner that had made both Alice and [
Helen retreat to the next room, j
When Mr. Hampton entered he saw
only Warren.
“I—I called to see Miss Willard,"
he announced assertively.
"Yes, I know you did," rr# died
Warren. "I’m Miss Willard's cousin,
with whom she’s staying. I’m sorry
to say you can’t see Miss Willard
while she’s here.”
‘ An Outrage.”
“Can’t see her! what do you mean,
sir?” blustered Mr. Hampton.
"I think my meaning is quite clear
Miss Willard’s mother lias written
that #she has forbidden y ou to call
on her daughter.”
“Why. this is an outrage, sir! I’m
engaged to Miss Willard. She’s of
age—you’ve absolutely no right to
keep me from’ seeing her. I’ve come
from Cincinnati for no other pur
pose.”
"That’s unfortunate. I must ask
you to excuse nie now. as it is our
dinner hour. This is the way out."
Blustering, protesting, but plainly
disconcerted by Warren's cool, high
handed domination, he .stalked out,
declaring wrathfully he would find
some way yet to see Miss Willard us
often as he pleased.
As soon as the door cloed after
him. Alice rushed in to Warren,
hysterically denouncing his treat
ment of the mart she loved.
"Now we’re not going to have any
of that." roared Warren. "If you
want to have hysterics—you have
them in your own room. You’re go

while you’re in my house, young lady,
I’ll see that you do just about as I

Lover" -Shakes-
BEL writes: "I am a young
lady seventeen years of age, and
am considered very pretty. I
am madly in love with a young man
one year my senior. But 1 do not be
lieve that he loves me, as 1 see him
flirt with other girls. Now, as 1 love
this young man dearly, and as he says
he loves me, I do not know whether to
give him up or not. 1 know that I could
not live without Archie. Yours des
perately, MABEL.’
Of ’course, you could not live with
out Archie. You are just of the age
when if some wicked, designing girl
came between you and Archie it would
break your heart, and you would pine
| away to the tomb. Without doubt you
j have spent many a sad moment gaz»-
J ing pensively out into the dark, tak-
I ing melancholy joy in the thought of
how Archie will vnourn for you when
| it is too late.
Your imagination of the distress of
i your family, the remorse of Archie, and
j the contempt the world w ould bear for
i the wicked, designing girl who stole
j him away has brought many tears to
your eyes, and even taken away your
I appetite for chocolates and pickles.
You are suffering "much extremity
for love." and though your elders may
scoff at you, they know that your dis
tress is as real as the sorrow that comes
in later years. Greater—because ex
perience makes one philosophical. At
j seventeen you are sure you could not
j iive without Archie. At thirty-four you
will decide, when you have trouble with
your lover, that you can live without
I him very comfortably.
He Is Perfect.
The Archie of your love dreams wears
a halo and is the handsomest, the most
adorable, the wittiest, the brightest and
!the most desirable of his sex. Ail tk-se
I perfections he gains because you look
j at him through eyes that are only sev-
I enteen.
I When you reach thirty-four you will
J see no halo on the head of your lover.
I You will behold only a weal;, vain, aver
age specimen of his sex, and if you
love him it will not be because you are
blind to his faults, but in spite of
them.
The years develop the maternal In
stinct In every woman, he she good or
bad. If this were not* so, no woman
past thirty would fharry. She has no
illusions: she worships not a perfect
man, but one, who appeals to her
through his weaknesses and imperfec
tions.
1 might tell you, Mabel, that Archie
is only eighteen, and is so immature
that his mother can’t tell If he will
hatchout a goose or a swan. I might
add that Archie is green and gawky,
can’t support himself, and that no
man who is not able to support him
self is qualified to make love. I
might suggest that he is conceited and
arrogant, and makes love to more than
one girl at a time to ratify a pet
weakness for adulation. I might hint
at fickleness for adulation and shallow
ness; F might insist that you come out
of your trance, and behold him as he is.
But that would be equal to turning
tlie pages for a child who is learning
the A. B. C’s, and commanding it to
learn the lesson in the middle of the
book.
You Must Learn.
You must learn each lesson in turn.
You must go through every stag*; of
the growing pains of love before you
can know it in its completeness.
Of course, you cannot live without
Archie. You will insist on that to
day, a little less forcibly to-inorrow,
and the next day you will find your
self still alive, very comfortably so. and
with no thought of Archie in your
mind.
Perhaps by the time you read this
you will have progressed so far ahead
of Archie that memory of him excites
only a laugh. A laugh, when at one
time the thought of him carried with
it the conviction that you could never
imile again! .
i hope this is so, but if you are still
mourning, if you continue to be* “des
perate." I car *tff'*r you no comfort
that time will not bring All 1 sug
gest is that you give him up. it Is
always more romantic to renounce than
to he renounced, and seventeen finds
great solace in romantic woe.

DRIFTING THAT WAV.
1 \ EAR .V IS*! FAIRFAX
I met a young man year and
a half ago. Since then I have met
many more, but I care for none but
him. He Is ten and a half years my
senior. He has written to me and
his letters are nice and polite. I
see him sometimes sit times a day.
but mostly twice. Whenever be is
away l like him just, tiie same. He
always speaks to me and seems glad
to see me. lie said he like*I me
and speaks well of me wherever he
goes. Every one likes him. Do you
think he cares for ine and that I love
him? INQUISITIVE.
He likes you: you like him. If jour
friendship is drifting Into love, don’t
hasten it. And don’t puzzle your head
over your feeling for each,other. That
will develop in due time
MAKE HIM PROVE IT.
FA LA H MIBS FA 1 It FA X :
I am engaged to a young lady
nineteen years old and would do
anything she would ask of me. But
since Christmas her parents have
objected to my keeping company
with her, all on account of a boy
who told a falsehood to hurt us. I
love the girl anti my love is returned
by her. What must 1 do? Steal
her. or gn ask for her and get re
fused? p. \y. t.
You must not rest under a false ac
cusation, no matter what the result.
Prove th* young man is false. That
must come tlrst with you. Then the rest
will be easy.
KNOW n woman who is one of
the darlings of the gods upon
a whom no harsh wind of fate has
J ever blown. In addition, she Is a
woman who is, herself, sweet and love
ly in every relationship of life.
She is beautiful, intelligent and high
minded, a beloved tlgure In her own
home and in society. She is married
to one of nature’s noblemen, who has
been the tendcrest and the kindest of
hushahds, and she has repaid his devo
tion with an equal affection and has
I been to him an ideal wife. She has
j borne and raised a family of splendid
hildren. She is a fine housekeeper,
and has made her home not only a
haven of rest for her own, but a tem
ple of refuge for strangers.
You could not conceive of a fuller
or a more useful life than this woin-
! an has led. and yet she Is consumed
j with a burning ambition to achieve
| something outside of her home, to do
something that will gain public rec
ognition and that will bring her In
some money that she has absolutely
turned herself and that does not
come to her from her husband.
She Shakes Her Head.
She despises -as trivial the things
she has done She feels that the
money her husband furnishes her
and he is as liberal as the day—is
i gif'. Hite bus no sense of having
earned it.
When you say to her that to have
made a beautiful home, to have been
a good w’ife anti made a man happy,
and to have reared fine children is the
greatest work thut any woman could
possibly (hi. and an achievement far
surpassing the writing of a popular
novel, or a play that runs a hundred
' nights on Broadway, or a picture that
■rets hung in an art gallery, she shakes
her head.
"I want to do something that will
•nuke mv husband and children proud
! of me," she says. "I want to do some
thing that will justify my friends’ af
fection for me.”
And you talk to deaf ears when
you try to make her see that she is
more to her husband anti her chil
dren, just as she is. than if she were
the most famous woman In the world,
and that all that her friends ask of
ter is just to be what site is.
So this woman who is so blessed,
Mil who blesses so many, in the do-
J mestie relationship, misses the fine
flower of happiness which should be
hers because sin* has no sense of
achievement, no thrill of victory, no
realization of a great work well done.
Instead she Is tVfnnented by an inces
sant longing to do something that
will have a public recognition and a
price tag attached to if.
Attitude Not Peculiar.
Nor is her attitude toward her life
work peculiar. It is practically uni
versal among women. The women
who are most envied are not the wom
en with the best husbands,* th** finest
homes und the most beautiful children.
They are the successful professional
women.
Every woman who is before the pub
lic knows what it is to have thousands
of other women, women who are well
married; who are handsomely dressed
and have fine social positions, come to
I her and say that they wish “they could
do something.”
“But.” says the working wornan ( “you
have you husband and children and
1 home. Goodfiess knows, to take care of
them is enough to keep any woman
hustling."
“Oh, yes," responds the domestic
woman, “1 am kept busy about eigh
; teen hours a day, but I wish I could
<io something that counted, something
worth while."
And there's no use arguing with her
and try ing to make her see that there
Is no other profession in the world that
requires such varied attainments and
such skill and wisdom as the rearing of
a family, and the making of a real home.
Nor is there any other work or* earth
so important.
Nothing More Pathetic.
There is nothing more 'pathetic than
that women have so little pride in the
great work to which they are called by
nature, but the reason of it is not hard
! to explain.
It Is because wifehood and mother
; hood ami the making of a home are the
only work in the world that is not con
sidered to be worth some definite re-
; ct.rnpcnse us Its own reward. The sales
girl is paid for her labor. The stenogra
pher draws her salary. The actress, the
singer, the newspaper woman, all have
their weekly checks as a return for the
service they have given, but the wife
and mother gets only her board and
* lot lies, and these are supposed to be
given to her through the generosity of
' her husband, not us a return for her
work.
No ether laborer toils so many hours
as the wife and mother, r»o other has
;uch heat \ responsibilities, and yet the
woman who works her fingers to the
bone cooking, and washing, and sweep
ing, and nursing, and baby tending, is
-poken of as being "supported” by the
man for whom she does all of this in
credible toil, and even the census report
.cnies her a place in the list of working
women.
Never Has a Dollar.
In the majority of households the wife
and mother never has a dollar of her
own that she can spend as she pleases.
Often she ran run up extravagant bills,
but she has the handling of no money,
and when she does, it is always her hus-
I band’s money.
It is only in rare cases that a man
is just enough to turn over to his wife
money that he makes her feel that she
bus earned, and that is her very own.
an*l that she may spend as freely as the
woman spends the money that she earns
outside of the house.
It is men who have taught women
to huvo a contempt fthe work of
wife and , mother and home maker by
j listing it among the occupations that
are not worth paying for.
Men also have taught women to put
a slight value upon the work of wife
md mother ami home maker by with
holding their praise. The domesli*' 1
woman’s angel <»f fame Is her husband.
He cun eiown her with laurel or not.
j And lie withholds his tribute until he
; Las it carved <*n her tombstone. Which
j is a little late.
The woman who does good work out-
si.I*- of the home gets the glad hand from
*11 about her. The woman who does
superlative work in the home never
hears « t it. It Is only when she makes
mistakes and tlie hammer is brought
forth that she hears what her husband
thinks of her. and inasmuch as we are
all more or less vain and thirst for
praise it is no wonder that the out-
d*lo world scents alluring to women.
What He Needed.
Among the members of a fashionabh

aware that the old man was a patient of
his friend, the doctor), "Is he much
worse?”
With th** gravest of expressions, the
physican replied: "He needs your help
more than mine."
< *ff his guard, the minister exclaimed
anxicusly: "Poor fellow! Is It as bad
as that?’
"Yes; he is suffering from insomnia. -
