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.

"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 was engaged to Mr. Hampton and that T intended to see him in spite of von or mother or anyone else' He’s 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 tin* man he's much older than you, and ion admit he's been divorced— you want to go out to dinner a t i him alone.” •1 happen to be of ape,” flashed bark Alice defiantly, “and you can’t m • from dining with the man Vm engaged to. Here.” taking the 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.

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!"

THE BRIMLESS MODEL. 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. Will Whiten Your Skin And Make It Soft and Smooth Large Box 25c, Postpaid Anywhere FOR SALE BY All Jacobs’ Stores And Druggists Generally, 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.
