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
“BYeckles," a name that speaks for
it<lf, “and am deeply in love with a
young man six years ray Junior with
whom I have kept company for the
past five month* 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 some
time to think be has wasted the
bloom 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 mtich more apparent
on her face and form than on his that
ho 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 fee! 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 it 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 mespenaer 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 later.
The boy Freckles loves is already
beginning to wander. “When at a
dance or party, he pay? more atten
tion 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
waist that moves steadily up. her
nusband will be 35, as young as he
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
making are a criterion, he will not
limit hie gallartry to “the younger
gtrls" when he casually meets them
at a dance or a party. I am sorely
afraid, my dear, that like many men
he will forget your love, your devo
tion your constancy, and the untir
ing efforts you 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
you have helped to 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
any woman. T want you to know the
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.

He was a country-bred lad, and It

Naturally, he had a healthy appetite,
and the meager breakfast served up
to him by the landlady vexed his rustic
soul As he gated sadly at his micro

landlady entered and rebuked him for
getting home late the night before, ne

Adam and Eve.
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 halls of the Saxon kings, in the Red Palace of Duke Balthasar
at Luna, In the old Southern days "before the war,” they do and Bay
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 day’s of great .wealth many
young couples beginning housekeep
ing think themselves very fortu
nate In having homes made ready for
them. They step Into a perfectly ap
pointed house, given to them by indul
gent j>arents, or an apartment complete
ly' and richly furnished. No wish seems
ungratifled. 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 rlchly r 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, and 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 expendJture 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
Up-to-the-z Minute Jokes
It was at a birthday banquet given
the other evening by a prominent
Paris millionaire banker. The fun
was at its height, when a lady cried
out:
"My pearl necklace has disap
peared ! ”
Uproar followed, while everyone
suggested plans for its recovery.
Then the banker had a brilliant
idea.
"We will place a salver In the mid
dle of the room," he said, “lights will
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
again and there was more consterna
tion. The salver had disappeared:

A well-known poet and Benedict is

Antony and Cleopatra.
Lovers have always held a certain sweet delight in scrapping
about which loved each other the most, and most times it is the girl
who starts something, by that pouting, "No, you don’t.” Perhaps it’s
just to hear how extravagantly and with what wonderful variations he
can say the "Yes, I do." Aucassln and Nicolette, those poor Norman
youngsters, quarrelled woefully over just that.
Eve pouted and a silvery tear ran over her pinky cheek while she
twisted her body like a youngster saying a piece and pulled flower

called the Angel at the gate to witness that he did.

He asked me if he might kiss me. <
which I refused, and after that tried *
several times in a playful way to
caress me, which I also resented. ‘
whereat he called me “cold” and said .
I had no reason to be so distant with t
him, and now keeps shy of me and ,

SO he called you “cold.” did he? t
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 t
you rather do. have this very "friend- 1
ly*’ young man tell you that ”ou are '
"cold" or have him tell other men that
you are not at all cold?

for worlds? That's what you think, ‘
Isn’t it? Well, now, just make up 4
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 f
to know he isn’t so very secretive
about his opinion of the girls he
knows.
Why should he be, pray tell?
Why should a girl let a man kiss i
her if she's afraid he'll tell somebody 4
about It. if she doesn't want people
to know? Don't do it; that’s all. ,
The Reason Why.
The kissing girl 1s known from ! f
one end of her town to the other, and <
known, too, as a "kteser” —oh, ye». it *
sounds coarse and It is coarse, that’s
the worst of it —but it’s true, and
while we’re talking about these £
things let’s tell the plain truth—just [ r
for a change. I -
Some girls who let every man they r
know kiss them good-night marry,
and marry well, too—but a whole lot !
of them do not marry at all, just bs- :
cause of the kissing.
What man wants to marry a
girl who’s kissed every man she
met for ths last four or five
years?
Who wants to meet his friends i
and have them look at his wife
with a reminiscent smile?
Were you too reserved?

A Woman’s
Thoughts
By DOROTHY DIX.
MAN’S vanity is woman’s oppor
tunity.
Thty p are women who have
all the virtues and none of the amen
ities of life.
The one compensation of poverty Is
the line that it grives you on your
friends.
The truth about her age lies at the
roots of a woman'? hair.
The soft-hearted woman is tho
world’s pincushion.
Homeliness in woman is the first
aid to virtue.
women are ?n wlf-rlghteous as
those who have never been tempted.
When a woman wishes to give an
other woman a cat scratch she says.
“How well you are looking. You
must have gained ten pounds since I
saw you last.”
The wife and mother who is indis
pensable to her family has yet to be
born.
There are two secrets that every
woman can keep»—her age and what
bait she used in catching her hus
band.
Trie most valuable talent that any
woman can possess is to be born with
the ibility to weep without getting
her nose red.
A woman loves a man for what he
is. A man loves a woman for what
he Imagines her tn be.
Many a woman asks her husband
for the bread of love, and he gives a
tombstone.
Only fools laugh at the spectacle of
a woman coddling and kissing a dog
or a canary bird. The wisn weep over
the poverty of a heart that has noth
ing better on which to expend itself.
The difference between a child that
