The Plight of
Freckles
By FRANCES L. GARSIDE.
<{TAM twenty-five years of age.”
I writes a girl who signs her- ;
self by the descriptive name of
“Freckles.” a name that speaks for
itself, “and am deeply In love with a
young man six years my junior with
whom I have kept company for the
past five months. He claims he loves
me. but when we attend a dance or
party he seems to pay more attention
to the younger girls. Do you think
he really cares for me?’’
Older women than Freckles, those
who have known more of love’s
sweetness and more of its bitterness,
and to whom Man is no problem, but
something to be read as easily as a
printed page, will say wisely, "He is
beginning too soon.”
That the man who loves a woman
some years his senior begins* at som.»
time to think he has wasted the
bloorQ of his youth on an “old wom
an.” is inevitable; she may be only
a few years his senior, but the marks
of time are so much more apparent
on her face and form than on his that
he feels justified in calling her old
at an age he will think is young when
he has reached it.
He Is Unjust.
So prone is man to this injustice
that the wife who is the junior is
made to feel with the years that she
is too old for her husband. The man
who is true in his thoughts, as well
as his actions, to the wife who has
grown old in his service, is the ex
ception and not the rule.
Freckles, who is twenty-five and a
woman grown, loves a boy of nine
teen. and he says he loves her. He
doesn’t know what love is. At his
age it is the flattered pleasure a boy
feels at having attracted the love of
a woman who is older. It is the love
of hte boy for his school-teacher
told over again, and 1t is an injustice
to him. as well as to herself, to ac
cept his stammered expressions of
admiration as serious avowals.
Women do it, however, every day.
Some because they love Love, and
will welcome his messenger though
he come in swaddling clothes. Oth
ers. because their charms attract only
the impulsive and impressionable.
Others through motives that are mer
cenary, for behind the young boy
there stands a wealthy father, and
others, like Freckles, who love, tak
ing no heed of age. and discover to
their cost some day that this is a
matter of which the man always
takes heed, sooner or l<ter.
The boy Freckles loves is alreadv '
beginning to wander. “When at a
dance or party, he pays more atten- ;
tioft to the younger girls.” If he
does this in the first blush of his love. '
it is dreary to contemplate what he :
will do when that love has grown
cold. When Freckles, for instance, is
41. and struggling painfully against |
wrinkles, a double-decked chin, and a j
waist that moves steadily up. her
husband will be 35, as young as hr
ever was. And if the years have
brought him prosperity, awakened his
Intelligence, and quickened his brain
as they should, he is very much bet
ter looking than he was when a cal
low youth of 19.
No Limit.
My dear girl. I fear that then, if
the .tendencies of his youthful love
mak'ing are a criterion, he will not
limit hie frallartry to "the younger
girls" when he casually meets them
at a dance or a party. I am sorely
afraid, my dear, that like many men
ho will forget your love, your devo
tion. your constancy, and the untir
ing efforts vou have made all these
years to add to his comfort and fur
ther his prosperity. He will forget
all these In some young girl whose
smile is directed at the bank account
vou have helped tn accumulate. Your
labor. vour sacrifice. In those tragic
days will become to him more an ir
ritation than an obligation.
Give him up. Freckles’ He Is too
young for you. He is too young for
anv woman. I want you to know th,
love of a MAN 1 want you to receive
a measure as full as you give. A
man's heart to match your woman’s,
and not the petular... willful, change
able love of a boy.

READ the stories of lorn lovers, and you know, when you finish,
the history of the world! For they follow the fortunes of this
old green earth from beginning to end —and what they did and
said in the Garden of Eden, in the Iceland of Leif the Lucky, in the
sounding balls of the Saxon kings, in the Red Palace of Duke Balthasar
at Luna, in the old Southern days "before the war," they do and say
just now!
And the little dialogue that links them close—across the seas and
land, across the centuries of change—lovers with lovers, is just this:
“NO, YOU DON’T!” “YES, I DO!” "NO. YOU DON’T LOVE ME!”
"YES, I DO LOVE YOU!”
The Beginning of Home Making
—.
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author “Etiquette in New York To-day”
IN these days of great wealth many
young couples beginning housekeep
ing think themselves very fortu
nate in having homes made read> for
them. They step into a perfectly ap
pointed house, given to them by indul
gent parents, or an apartment complete
ly and richly furnished. No wish seems
ungratified. There is little to do but
to arrange the splendid accumulation of
wedding presents and set them forth to
the best advantage and to start the
wheels running in a household where
there need be no consideration as to ex
pense.
It is a question whether there is as
much true pleasure and satisfaction for
these richly favored persons as for those
whose pathway is the happy one be
tween wealth and poverty
The young married woman who finds
little else to do but visit, shop, amuse
herself, practice her music a little, read
a little, an<l motor about very much,
realizes, after a while, that she is just
a trifle dull and bored after the first
flush of novelty in arranging her house
keeping is over. There seems almost a
surfeit in the rich, luxurious things
provided by the lavish expenditure of
parents and the wedding gifts of friends.
There can be no doubt that those
persons in the middle path, where the
purse, is not overflowing, but poverty Is
not to be feared, have a rich compensa
tion for their smaller share of worldly
goods. They have the wonderful delight
and privilege of making and developing
a home
It is certainly a pleasure to be in the

Uproar followed, while everyone
suggested plans for its recovery.
Then the banker had a brilliant
idea.
“We will place a salver in the mid

be extinguished, and the perpetrator
of this silly joke will have an oppor
tunity of restoring the missing neck
lace.”
This was done.
Then the lights were turned on

Sn he called you “cold.” did he?
Dear me. what a dreadful in
dictment —cold what a crime
to be “cold” to a man you know so
very little bout.
Tell me. little girl, which would
you rather do, have this very “friend
ly” young man tell you that -ou are
■’cold” or have him tell other men that
you are not at all cold?
Wouldn't say anything about you
for worlds? That’s what you think,
isn’t it? Well, now, just make u »
that good, sensible little mind of
yours to think differently, that's all.
I don’t know the young man in
question, but if he’s anything like
most of the young men I do happen
|to know he isn't sn very secretive
about his opinion of the girls he
know s.
Why should he be. pray tell?
Why should a girl let a man kiss
her if she’s afraid he’ll fell somebods
about it. if she doesn’t want people
to know? Don’t do it; that’s all. (
The Reason Why.
The kissing girl is known from '
one end of her town to the other, and
known, too. as a “kisser”—oh. yes. it I
sounds coarse and it la coarse, that’s '
the worst of it but it’s true, ami i
while we re talking about these !
things let’s tell the plain truth just
for a change.
Some girls who let every man they
know kiss them good-night marry. 1
and marry well, too —but a whole lot
of them do not marry at all. just b*- ■
cause of the kissing.
What man wants to marry a
girl who’s kissed every man she
met for the last four or five
years?
Who wants to meet his friends
and have them look at his wife
with a reminiscent smile?
Were you ton reserved?
What in the world makes you think
that?
'A,
Because the man doesn’t come to
see you any more?
That simply means that he doesn't
want to spend his time with you un
less you let him make all kinds of
love to you—what of it?
Do you want to be his “spooning
girl’’ and nothing else?
Sure To Be.
Do you want him to walk with you
and talk with you and make love to
you for months and months, till
everyone you know couples your
names and then go and marry some
other girl who wasn’t quite sn oblig
■ ing as you?
Ten to one that's what he would d«»
—he isn’t ready to marry, or li«
doesn't (are enough for you to want
to marry you—that's all Do you
want to he a kind of nothing better
to do girl for him”
If you do. just call him up. and ih«
