Warren Takes the Situation in Hand When
Alice’s Suitor Persists in Seeing Her.
By MABEL HERBERT URNER.
UK envelope bore a special de
livery stamp, and the address.
-* "Miss Alice Willard," was in a
l^i fte masculine hand.
There wap no doubt in Helen's
mWld as to whom the letter was from,
and Alice's mother had written her
to intercept any letters that came
front this man. But Helen felt she
could not quite do that. Her innate
respect for the rights of a letter she
could not disregard.
After a moment’s hesitation she
took it in to Alice, but not before she
iv to ed thgt'it was postmarked from
Philadelphia. So Aunt Emma's fears
were well founded—he was coming
,, n here Jo See Alice. How could they
prevent it? If her own mother could
not control her. how could they he
expected to? The responsibility of
having this wayward girl under their
are weighed on Helen heavily.
Oh a letter for me?" Alice, who
was straightening the tray of her
trunk, started up. and in her eager-
almost snatched the letter.
Alice, von know what your
m.sher has written. Sou know she's
instructed me not to let you see this
man Now I don't want to cause you
or him embarrassment, but we'll have
io forbid him calling here."
Then J shall see him outside, de
fiantly.
"I should .think. Alice, that you d
have Bomb respect for our wishes.
We've entertained you here for two
weeks, I've done everything I could
to make It pleasant for you—and now
you deliberately defy me.”
Because you’re asking something
vuu have no right to ask. I told you X

that T intended to see him in spite of

coming on from Philadelphia and is
to call for me at half-past six. We're
going out to dinner.”
Alice. I don't understand you. 1
didn't think any girl, raised as you
! ;ive been, could be so headstrong.
You know v*ur mother doesn’t trust

special delivery letter from the front
of her waist, “you can read this if
you want to and see for yourself
how much he cares, and how he’s
come oh hen from tVie West just to
see me.”
Helen‘s intense desire to know w hat
kmd of a.letter this man -pould write
overcame • her reluc tance to read It.
It was two pages, written in a big.
flowing hand,.
Wednesday, 7 a. m.
My Dear Little Girl:
Have just; arrived in Philadelphia
—on my wav to New York. This is
rot a business trip—I have come all
the way ffoiti Clncitfhati just to see
you. Fm not going to have all this

to see -you. But I’ll be there in time
to take you out to dinner to-night.
Your devoted ED.
Helen handed the letter back with
out a word. She knew it would be
useless to try to point out to Alice
that no man of any principle would
have written like that to a young girl

showed his type. And this evening he
would be here—determined to see her.
As soon as Alice was out of the
room Helen phoned to Warren.
"It's about Alice! Can you hear
me? I nsn't talk louder—she's In tlje
next room That man is in Philadel
phia now and he's coming here to
take her out to dinner at half-past 6.
I can’t do anything with her; she's
determined to go. How soon egn 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
came.
"Well, you Just leave it to me.”
It was plain that Alice was expect
ing to go out. for she had put on her
prettiest gown. Helen hooked it up
for her without comment.
At 6:30, Just as_ 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 up.”
Alice fluttered out, flushed and ex
cited.
“Oh. isn’t it some one for me, Cousin
Warren?”
“I believe it is," answered Warren
grimly.
"Shall I receive him in the library,”
eagerly, "or the front room?”
"I'LL receive 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
man of about forty. Immaculately but
flashily groomed. The large diamond
stud, the heavy walking stick and
gray suede gloves were typical of the
man.
There was somthing in Warren’s
manner that had made both Alice and
Helen retreat to the next room.
When Mr. Hampton entered he saw
only Warren.
"1—I called to see Miss Willard,”
he announced assertively.
"Yes, I know you did," relied
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.”
“Gan t see her! what do you mean,
sir?’’ blustered Mr. Hampton.
“1 think liLv gieaning is quite clear.
Miss MMfikrcrs. mother' has written
that she has forbidden you 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 me 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 And
some way yet to see Miss Willard as
often as he pleased.
As soon as the door cloed after
him, Alice rushed in to Warren,
hysterically denouncing his treat
ment of the man 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
ing back home next Tuesday, but
while you’re in my house, young lady,
I’ll see that you do just about as I
say.” •
Alice flung herself into her room,
where they could still hear her angry
sobs.
In grim, glowering silence Warren
sat down to dinner. Not a word was
spoken as Maggie served the soup.
Then, as Helen rose from her chair,
he demanded, scowllngly:
“WhereTe you going?”
“Oh. I can’t let Alice cry like that
—she’ll make herself sick. I’ll have
to go in to her.”
“You’ll do nothing of the kind,”
thundered Warren. “You’ll sit right
down there and eat. your dinner!"

Do You Know
That—
Reminiscent of the search for a
double of Sir George Alexander at the
time he produced “John Chllcote,
M. P.,” is the attempt now being
made to find a 4 physical counterpart
of Miss Ethel Irving. In her forth
coming play at the , Globe Theater,
London, there is a double part, in
which both characters appear on. the
stage simultaneously. So far, al
though the dramatic wdt&d lias been
scoured, no suitable actress has been
found, and an immediate engagement
awaits the lady fortunate enough to
resemble Miss Irving sufficiently.
Last year 872,800 births and 456,-
i)82 deaths were registered in Eng
land and Wales j but. although the
natural increase of population was
therefore 415,818, the birth rate was
the lowest yet recorded.

LOVE’S GROWING PAIN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
“And truly in my youth I. suffered
much extremity for Love.’ Shakes
peare.
M ABEL writes: “r am a. young
lady seventeen years of age, and
am considered very pretty. I
am madly In love with a young man
one y<ar my senior. But I do not be
lieve that he loves me. as I see him
flirt with other girls. Now, as I love
this young man dearly, and as he says
he loves me, I do not know whether to
give him up or not. J 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 pinei
away to the tomb. Without doubt you
have spent -many a sad moment gaz
ing pensively out' into the dark, tak
ing melancholy joy in the thought of
how Archie will mourn • for you when
it is too late.
Your imagination of the distress of
your family, the remorse of Archie, and
the contempt the world would bear for
the wicked, designing girl who stole
him away has brought many tears tq
your eyes, and- even taken away your
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
seventeen you are sure you could not
live without Archie. At thirty-four you
will decide, when you have trouble with
your lover, that you can live without
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. All these
perfections he gains because you look
at him through eyes that are only sev
enteen.
When you reach thirty-four you will
see no halo on the head of your lover.
You will behold only a weak, vain, aver
age specimen of his sex, and if you
love him ft 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, be she good or
bad. If thl9 were not so, no woman
past thirty would marry. She has no
illusions; she worships not a perfect
man, but one who appeals to her
through his weaknesses and Imperfec
tions.
I 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,
cant 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 rati a pel
weakness for adulation. 1 might hint
at. fickleness for adulation and shallow
ness: I might insist that you c.orpe out
of your trance, and behold him as he is.
But that would be equal to turning
the pages for a child who is learning
the A, B. 0’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 stage 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-morrow,
and the next day you will find your
self still alive, very comfortably so, and
with no thought of Archie in your
mind.
Psrhaps 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
smile again!
I bjt>pe this is so, but if you are still
mourning, if you continue t* be “des
perate,” I can offer you no comfort
that time will not bring All I sug
gest Is that you give him up it is
always more romantic to renounce fhan
1 o he renounced, and seventeen finds
greai solace in romantic woe.
DRIFTING THAT WAY.
n E A R MISS FA III FA X
r met a young man a year and
a half ago. Since then I have met
many more, hut 1 care for none but
him. He is ion and a half years m.v
senior. He has written to me and
his letters are nice and polite. I
see him sometimes six times a day,
but mostly twice. Whenever he is
away I like him just the same. He
always speaks to me and seems glad
to see me. He said he liked me
and speaks well of me wherever he
goes. Every one likes him. Do you
thlnk’he cares for me and that I love
him? INQUISITIVE.
He likes you: you like him. If your
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.
y\ EAR MISS FAIRFAX:
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 and my love is returned
by her. What must 1 do? Steal
her. or go ask for her and gel re
fused? J f» w T.
You must not rest under a false ac
cusation, no matter what the result
Prove the young man is false That
must come first with you. Then the rest
will, be easy.
1 KNOW a woman who Is one of ’
the darlings of the gods upon
whom no harsh wind of fate has
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 figure in her own
home and In society. She is married
,■ to one of nature's noblemen, who has j
been the tenderest and the kindest of |
husbands, and she has repaid his devo
tion with an equal affection and has
been to him an idea! wife. She has j
borne and raised a family of splendid I
children She is a fine housekeeper,
ami lias 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 worn- j
an has led, and yet she is consumed
with a burning ambition to achieve j
something outside, of her home, to do
something that will gain public rec
ognition and that will bring her in
some money that she lias absolutely
earned 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
a gift. She has no sense of having
earned it.
■ When you say to her 1hat to have
made a beautiful home, to have been
! a good wife and made a man happy,
and to have reared fine children is the
greatest work that any woman could
possibly do, 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
gets hung in an art gallery, she shakes
her head.
“[ want to do something that will
make my husband and children proud
I of me,” she says. “T want to do some-
* riling (Hat 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 and her chil-
1 dren, just a.s she -is, than if she were
Hie most famous woman in the world,
and that all that her friends ask of
her is just to he what she Is.
So this woman who is so blessed,
and who blesses so many, in the do
mestic relationship, misses the fine
i flower of happiness which should he
i hers because she has no sense of
achievement, no thrill of victory, no
realization of a. great-work well done.
Instead she is tormented by an inces
sant longing to do something that
will have a -public recognition and a
price tag attached to it.
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, the finest
homes ami the most beautiful children.
! They are the successful professional
women.
Kveny 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
; her and say that they wish "they could
i do something.”
"But,” says the working woman, “you
have you husbtmd- and children and
i home. Goodness knows, to take care of
! them is enough to keep any woman
j hustling.”
! “Oh, yes,” responds the domestic
woman, “I am kept busy about eigh
teen hours a day, hut I wish l could
do something that counted, something
worth while.”
And there's no use arguing with her
and trying to make her see that the?*
is no other profession in the world that
requires such varied attainment* and
such skill and wisdom as the rearing «f f
a family, and the making of a real bom* *
Nor is there any other work on «ar$t;
so important.
Nothing- More Pathetic.
There is nothing more pathetic thftltj
that women have so little pride in th*«
great work to which they are caJlatf b*v*
nature, but the reason of it !• not hamf
to explain. <#
li is because wifehood and mether'•
hood and the making of a home ar* th*"
only work in the world that i* not «en-
aidered to be worth some definite
compense as Its own reward. The *al*f-
girl la naid for her labor. The stenogra
pher draws her salary. The actress, thg
singer, the newspaper woman, all *
their weekly checks as a return for th*
service they have given, but the wif$
and mother gets only her board) •j*
clothes, and these are supposed to h*
given to her through the generosity
her husband, not as a return for hff
work.
No other laborer toils so many hourg'i
as the wife and, mother, no other ha*
such heavy responsibilities, and yet the
woman who works her fingers to the”,
bone cooking, and washing, and sweeps
ing. and nursing, and baby tending,-
spoken of as being “supported” by the
man for whom she does all of this lgK
credible toil, and even the census r*p*pt\
denies her a place in the list‘of working^
women.
Never Has a Dollar.
In the majority of households the wlf*
and mother never has a dollar of h*D
own that she can spend as she plea***,^
Often she can run up extravagant billy,
but she has the handling of no monger
and when she does, it is always her hus
band's money. . .•
It Is only in rare cases’that a man
is just enough to turn over to his wije
money that he makes her feel that she-
has earned, and that is her very own,
and that she may spend as freely as the
woman spends the money that she earn*
outside of the house
It is men who have taught women
I lo have a contempt for the work e#
wife and mother and home maker by
listing it among the occupations that
are not worth paying for.
Men also have taught, women to pt*t
a slight value upon the work of wife
and mother and home maker by with-
| holding their praise. The domsgtlo
! woman's angel of fame is her husband
He can crown her with laurel or not.
| And he withholds his tribute until be
; lias if carved on her tom baton* Which
is a. little late. J-
The woman who does good work out 4 *
-ide of the home gets the glad band from
all about her. The woman who

lid&rs of it. It is only when she make*,
mistakes and the hammer is brought
forth that she hears what her husband*
