Hearts, we aro told by scientific men, do not break, or, nt least, so very rarely as to be practically out of tho question. Perhaps that may be true In one sense, Jut In another It is not, for there aro blows dealt bv fate nnrt l.v nihnr. i,n Hrlke tho heart with such keen force aa to destroy its health and Interest In life lor good, and render it fceblo and In. active. That the organ goes on beating does not mean that tho soul of tho sufferer Is really alive. It Is languishing In misery and pain, nj:d Ha Joy and happiness are most certainly slain. The cruelty of another hns dono this. Bo it is necessary to bo most careful never to bring about this fearful calam ity through our selfishness or thought lessness. A girl must tako heed 'that she never knowingly kindles the flame of lovo where she cannot add tho fuel. And if this should happen through no fault of hers, then she must try to gently quench It na kindly nnd quickly as Bhe possibly can. , . No wounded hearts should form her pride; her touch should be one of heal ing, nnd her mission one of help. To bind up the broken-hearted Is nobler Work than to add to their numbers. THE NOISY GIRL "Adelo is a dandy-looking, nice girl. If she didn't mako so much noise. A fellow hates to take a girl out who has every body looking at her, because she makes herself unpleasantly conspicuous. Her looks are all right, but deliver me from lier showing off." "Sho does nothing of the kind; she has n. loud voice, and that's all there Is to It," said Bob's, little sister, and added splte--lully: "It's Just like you, with your big ears; she whs Just born with It. Sho can't help It." "Yea. sho can, too," he returned. "No woman needs to wave her arms and bob her head around and make the grimaces Adele does. She looks like a monkey on a stick." This Is unfortunately truo of a great many girls who think that men are at tracted by what Is called showing off. A trlrl gets into a crowd, where there are a number of men, and immediately her voice can be heard all over the room. Bhe mimics her elders, tells fpollsh Jokes. Ways That Puzzle Men Here aro a few girls' ways that no man can understand; at least, so a celebrated American author tells us: She wil1 sit in a draught In a low-necked sown with her arms and shoulders bare. Eut she will go out on the hottest after noon with her head and neck tied up In a thick veil, if veils happen to be fashion eble. She will forget to pay a bill for months. Rut she will make herself conspicuous in a trolley squabbling to pay for her friend a few cents which she doesn't owe. She will wear a skirt that .fetters every ir.ovemetit, and declare that she Js quite Cjjnrortable. hlio Is up In arms when she sees a horse whipped. Bui she will drag a. poor little dog on a shopping expedition that would enfeeble a (rood-sized man. She has a will that no power on earth can bend. Yet she allows herself to be csllod "the weaker sex." Ilyo1 . X7t t ' . th.fiJ V-i. Hurry, ocurry, and Worry erag These are the three most deadly enemies . -uf iwmcn can be harbored by the sensitive ' 91? firt, who is anxious to do her best. "Keep calm" is more easily said than done, but how to be of a quiet mind in the midst of stress Is a secret which must be mas tered if you. are eyer to reach the heights. Take things as they come, do one, and that thoroughly, at a time, and get that ' over before you touch the next; If you can but follow this "counsel of perfection" you will achieve far more by the end. of the day than If you had fussed yourself Jfito a fever. The battle is to the strong, d the "strong" are they who are self oontroild and patient They' are the ones who achieve most with the least expendi ture of time, and strength. . 4 , .

She does not understand tho ways of children, and the years" haVe not yet brought wisdom to her, nor that most Important gift, tolerance. It Is hard. too. on the nmn. for he may feel that things uro not going smoothly, but manlike, will hot be ablo to discover the Jarring spot. If a man wishes to marry again, he shculd consider the children of his first marriage In choosing a second wlfo. It l.j a curious fact that he seldom does this, however, and will proudly select somo youthful, giddy girl, whose pretty fneo and Irresponsible, childish III tie ways havo fascinated him, rnther than tho mature . woman who would have prcved the model wife and mother. When storm and tempests arise be tween his brldo and his children, he Is surprised and worried, blaming every one, but the only culpable party, him self! When a woman marries a second time, If sho has children of her first marriage, tho results often Incline to be happier than In Ihc case of tho widower's second niarrlMce. In thousands of cases the second mar riage Is very successful, even more so than former ventures. And why? lie cause ono or other of the parties to tho second marriage has already had his or her full Nharo of matrimonial experience, and can bring tho full force of that ex perience to bear on all tho little ups and downs of married life. One lives and learns, nnd ns tho yearn pass, they bring patience nnd tolerance with them. KLliUN ADAIIt. People Who Come Between One of the most fatal things: for tho friends of two lovers to nttempt to do is to come between them. They, the friends, usually have the very best of motives for Intervening, but It Is a dangerous task to undertake, and in nine cases out of ten It Is bound to havo consequences that tho kindly friend never dreamed would happen. Lovo Is entirely a matter between two human hearts, and Its ups and downs must be encountered nnd Its problems solved by them nlone. If It were possible for nny one to ex plain fully to nnother all that they mean by their love, perhaps that other might be able to net as a go-between, but. as It Is not possible to reveal tho mystery. It is both kinder nnd wiser for an outsider, however dear to both parties, to leave any difficulty to them to overcome for themselves. As for those who wantonly lntcrforu for sheer love of meddling, their punishment cannot be too sovere, since for their own foolish splf-lmportnnce they risk tho hap piness of others. More harm has been done by an Ill- judged, If well-meaning, Interference than by even the most callous Indifference and lack of sympathy. exaggerates personal Incidents, and docs all In her power to draw attention to herself. Most men of any Judgment become quickly and entirely disgusted with such behavior. It Is so evidently playing to the gallery that they naturally refuse the attention she invites. Sh may be pretty or dainty, but If she tries to ad vertise her charms by such an obvious means, the men will not be Impressed. A natural fun-loving nature Is a lovely and attractive thing. The expression of such a nature tnovltably comes out at a party or social gathering. The girl who Is fortunate enough to possess such a gift Is always surrounded by admirers of both sexes. Qentlo raillery and spark ling Inoffensive wit are always attractive. Tho girl who tries to Imitate these qual ities by roaring aloud at Inane remarks, or ridiculing tho peculiarities of others, will soon find that she Is only lending emphasis to the fact that they ore cont splcuously absent. THE HOME-MADE XMAS GIFT A great many far-sighted women are preparing Christmas gifts already. There are numerous accessories for the dressing table which look charming and can be made with very little trouble. The little week-end caso la a very now arrival. It Is usually a plain box covered with dainty robe-colored brocade or motre Bilk. This may bo shirred inside and looks very well with the corners edged with dull gold brnld, which, by the way, only costs about 6 cents a yard. Inside this Is a box of talcum powder, tooth paste, a Bmall bag to hold the tooth brush, a tiny cake of soap and a large mirror In the back of the box. The soap case matches the outside of the box Tell-tale Shoelaces All sorts of queer little trifles point out character to those who are observant. Yet few would ever dream of trying to jmzzle out their friend's faults and fall ings by means of their shoelaces. Never theless, those who are Jearned In this sort of thine tell us that there Is much to be i.otod In this same matter of the laces. A thin drooping lace, they say, Is a Bure sign of a bashful and modest dispo sition. You may recognize the clear-headed nan of affairs by his stiff, strong shoe lace tied in a double knot and always in Place, While the one who is slack In business matters has laces that are always coming undone. A girl" who Is given to flirting Is fond of wearing silken laces tied in a single looped bow. The dreamy maiden is apt to have loosely tied laces, and the Idle, untidy one, alas I descends to old ones that are guilty of knots, and that la the worst fault a self-respecting lace can ever commit.

By MRS. CHRISTrNE FREDERICK, AUTiron or "Tim nbw notisRKKnriNa." Can It bo true that there Is a scarcity In tho rag market? In the first place, many n housekeeper does not know that such a market exists. But when sho writes on her linen lawn, when she steps on many a carpet or when bIio Is sheltered by one of our new roof ing materials, sho Is really seeing her own old rags In a new form. Kor modern science like Cinderella's fairy godmother, can transmute a ragged dress Into naoor. carpet, roofing ma terial and many other articles of uso In the home. Ono of the most Impor tant dealers In roofing materials said rceontly that it was impossible to buy rags In America; that we are actually Importing from Kurope millions of pounds of rags which their more thrifty Inhabitants save, but which Americans are too careless or indifferent to save. Bags are very much needed in the manufacture of cheap carpet, but such is tho scarcity of rags that newspapers aro being substituted with tho result ing loss to the value of the carpet and hence the housekeeper herself. "We have not heard from Mr. Brandels that American women are wasting as million dollars a year by falling to save and give to the right persons the rags, bottles and old Iron, but we feel sure that figures mounting into the thousands are actually wasted by the American house wife's lack of thrift. "Any rags, any old Iron?" "We are too proud to answer. Instead we lump everything onto the dumbwaiter, allowing the Janitor to cull out the rags from other waste. If he feels and Is rubber lined. This little case should be made as compact as possible, as tho Idea Is to get In all the toilet necessities of the week-end trip In a little space. Another very original Idea for the dress ing table Is the hand-made puff box. Buy a glass bowl, either plain or cut glass, If you can afford it Kit on this a card board top. . Cover the cardboard with a bit of brocade, moire, cretonne, satin any piece of silk which Is available and bind the edges with dull gold lace. The little knot of dull gold lace on top of the cover la finished with tiny French rose buds and serves as a handle. It looks charming when made to match milady's room. Her Choice One Sunday morning a father suggested to his daughter that she ought to go to church in the evening, the subject of the discourse being "An Hour With Favorite Hymns," and he expected it would be very Interesting. "Father," said the daughter, with a smile, "I should like to go very much, but I have made an engagement to spend soveral hours with my favorite 1dm tonight." fiaiSi of Fifth Avenue, New York SPECIAL NOTICE It was erroneously stated in our announcement published in last Wednesday's Public Ledger that our annual sale at the Dellevue-Stratford would be continued during next week.

Mrakfotb f&m HINTS FOR MODESOF THEHOUR The two little frocks sketched today show very clearly how close the relation sometimes is between children's fashions I nnd those of their ciders. A uarty frock for a child no longer means, of necessity, lino mull nnd yards and yards of Insertion and lace. Thnt of i the 'littlest Rlrl," for Instance Is mado ' of while voile, the two-tiered Rklrt Is i knife i.trflted; tho collnr consists of a ' plaited ruffle nnd the turned back cuffs I follow Suit. I Tho Rlrdlc Is the counterpart of One Hint older glrla and women hnvo been wonrlnR. It Is made of wide black velvet ribbon with n formal bow In back and one In front, The frock at tho left Is designed for nn older girl, ono nt the flapper ago.' Tho German word Is bacflllsch, a. term of en dearment, although It doV;s liken them to tho somcwlmt foolish minnow. It Is an age that Is hard to dress satis factorily! It Is su easy to err In tho way of making tho dres look too grown-up for the girl or, contrariwise, the girl too old for he drcMs. The outline, or the silhouette', of the dress Illustrated, Is nulto youthful, al though tho materials Include the senson's two gioat favorites, velvet nnd fur. The straight little bodice Is fashioned nfter the Jumper Idea, only It Is sleeve less, i The drop skirt matches In color tho soft I gray blue of the velvet bodice. It Is i chlrfon, however, and tho sleeves and oversklrt aro mado of figured chiffon. i HitunK, in me narrowest handing, edges (he poplum and tho short straight alceves and completes a tittle dress that Is really charming In Its effect. It wns a onc-plcco gulmpc model with a sen Hoped V-bnck and front and wldo scalloped armholea, Htraps were cut In tho dress Itself so that a sAsh could tdlp through and tip behind. Tho straps were scalloped on both sides and room wi found on ench one for n pretty design In French em broidery. A design wns also cmhrnMor,.,! below the V of the neck. A gulmpo and sleeves' of fine organdie were finished with a narrow edging of Valenciennes lace and a few hand tucks were run In tho gulmpo back and front. A plain coat of dark bluo zlbelllnc, with collar, cuffs, belt and buttons mado of velvet of the same shade. Is a good model for semi-formal wear. ''Bernard Shaw's 'Common Sense About the War' is the talk of the town, and if deserves to be. One of its greatest values is its courage, for in it Shaw says many things no one else would have dared to say. It contains the most magnificent, brilliant and convincing common sense that could possibly be uttered. Hence everybody should read it, though everybody will not be capable of appreciating 'the most pro found parts of it." Arnold Bennett, the English novelist, in a cable dis patch to yesterday's Public Ledger made this reference to George A Sunday's Public Not even Bernhardi's blood-and-iron declarations con? cerning war have excited the civilized world more than the ' mocking, merciless charges of England's caustic philoso- pher.
