EVBJTIJTGf LEDGEB-PHILABELPHIA". MONDAY. MAEOH 2P, 131S: THINGS WHICH INTEREST MAID AND MATRONHOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS AND FASHION to --'!--- THE WOMAN WITH 'NERVES By ELLEN ADAIR An Infallible Remedy The tubman who Is suffering from that Interesting yet Btrangety unfathomable complaint, which Tor want of a better nam Is popularly known as "nerves," Is a product of modern civilization anil an object of pity on the part of friends, rela tives and, more especially, herself. If she isn't an object of pity, then she conidcrs herself of all creatures on the face of this earth most misunderstood and miserable. For her malady demands a great mcasuro of commiseration and more attention than thlB brisk, breezy, workaday world Is Inclined to give. "My dear, I can't possibly do that, my nerves would never nllow me!" Is the excuso which many a woman brings to tho foro on each and every occasion when omethtng comes along that sho doesn't Cjulto llko and doesn't wish to undertake. And not only are nerves responsible for this negative attitude, but positively they ro also responsible for certain strange And curious actions which the fair suf ferer considers essential to her well-being nnd mental health. For nerves, like tho proverbial charity, can bo mado to cover n multitude of minor peccadilloes, which. If not actually Bins, aro certainly very far removed from being virtues. The woman who gives way to nerves Is her own worst enemy. She Is certainly going to make herself positively unhappy; that Is ono thing suro and certain. And correspondingly sho Is going to becomo exceedingly unpopular wherever sho goes. Foe nerves nre In Hating things, and their Influence Is scarcely conduclvo to joviality. They aro oddly communicable, too. For their Influences on a strong,, well balanced mind is Intensely Irritating, and as for tho mind that Is weaker and not bo well-balanced. It will at onco becomo Infected and "Jumpj" and cross, nnd altogether very much upset. Tho curious thing Is that somo women think that nerves aro the outward and visible sign ot a superior Intellect and a moro sensltlvo character than that us ually found In a prosalo world. How they over fall Into any such delusion Is surprising. But most assuredly they do. "John doesn't understand what nerves mean," a plalntlvo llttlo wife will pcov Ishly exclaim. "Ho Is such a great, strong creature, bo wrapped up In his work and his pleasures nnd his golf, that lio lias no time to understand tho sensl tlvo feelings of others. Ho rushes Into tho house like a cold north wind, slam ming the doors behind him, and acting llko a tornadol If ho only realized what I suffer through his noisiness and his brcezlness, he would surely try to be moro considerate But there, men aro PRIZE SUGGESTIONS PRIZES OFFERED DAILY For the following sustentions sent In by readers of the Eveni.vo Ledum prizes of SI and 80 cents are awarded. ,, , All BUgsestlona should be addressed to Ellen tAUalr.

Ho was wrapped up In his foolish llttlo wife, and thought that nothing under the sun was quite bo perfect 'as she was. Hut ho couldn't control a certain cheerfulness of manner, which was as natural to him as was his frank disposition nnd kindly ways. Vet that absurd llttlo wife didn't realize one of her husband's good points. For, llko all women who give way to "nerves," sho was n thorough egoist. Sho was also supremely discontented. And yet sho had everything under tho sun that the heart of woman could de-lrc. Physically sho was In excellent health.

It is a curious thing that ono only hears about this comptnlnt of ncrvc3 from those with whom fortuno has dealt very klnd Iv. The poor woman who has a dozen children and a sick husband to work for hasn't got time for anv such luxury. If ou spoke to her about "nerves," sho would probably stare nt you In a be wildered, uncomprehending way, and then toll you that sho couldn't afford them. And It Is an open question whether such a woman hasn't moro real content nnd thankfulness In her disposition than has tho rich, Idle woman who has never learned to count her blessings or to thank providence for her good fortune. Tho woman who Is afflicted with nerves can cure herself, If sho really desires so to do. For thero Is one Infallible remedy which will set matters right nnd bring about tho true balance of things. And It Is this: Let her set to work to do some thing for somebody else. In work for others. In setting tho mind on others' sorrows and others' difficulties lies the only real salvation for the woman af flicted with "nerves." mado of wlro mesh as the sparks do not fly or spread.

Bhe had come In from the country to write a column In n city dally called "Chats With the Working Girl," nnd her advent to the city was fraught with both Joy and homesickness. In the first place. It was spring and spring to Joan had nlnnjs meant garden ing. Sho loved to put In little rows of seed nnd watch them breaking through the earth and growing up Into wonderful blooms. "None of that In tho rlt." she sighed nnd looked out nt the paved street with Us endless string of cms. Her glance roved nbout nnd nt Inst rested upon the long, naked-looking strip of gnrdnn that each of the mnnv old houses In her dis trict possessed. Not one of them seemed to ho In process of planting "And so much could be made of tfiem," thought Joan, nnd her nrms ached to dig with a spndo and put growing things Into the ground. Ten minutes later she was down talk ing to her Inndladv "t would love t put In n cmlen-ln front." she suggested with one of her ap pealing smiles, "nnd I am pining for ex ercise." "You would have n hard time In that place," said the lnndladv ; "the ground hasn't been worked for a good 10 onrs. But you nre welcome to tr." Joan went Joyfully about her tnsk Tho spade sho purchased nnd tho slips nnd seeds sho came home with would havo mado six gardens Hot with multl colored blossoms. Tho ground, ns Mrs. Tato had suggest ed certalnlv was hird Tho Into cold Miap seemed to havo loft It froen nnd Joan's cheeks were scarlet nnd her nrms tlrod with her effort to soften a trench for her sweet peas. Looking up for n moment's lost, she caught sight of a man working in the second garden hut one from her own. He had mado n splendid trench and was even then putting In a low of seeds. Joan went swiftly out of her own gnte and approached tho man. "Aro you a day gardener or n private one?" she asked. Tho man looked up nnd tho smile un der his light mustacho was an amused one. "Day," he said promptly: "can 1 help you out""' He had taken his pipe fioin his mouth nnd his cap from his head. A small white dog leaped Joyfully about his feet. "Ys," said Joan. " I want n trench suoh as the one you have finished made In niv garden. Could ou do It soon?" It didn't occur to Joan that . o man wns other than a gardener. Many gar deners were of most gentlemanly appear ance. She wnlted eagerly for his answer. "Immediately," said tho man, and fol lowed her to the other garden. Tho dog, too, entored Into tho nffnlr. Joan almost forgot her purpose while fondling the dog. Sho had ono ot her own In tho homo village "I would llko a deep trench Just along that fence, for sweet pens," sho told tho man. "The ground Is frightfully hnrd." Sho sat on tho stone Btep watching tho man and playing with his dog. Ho was Scotch. Not only his accent, but hl3 well-knit, muscular framo suggested that. Joan found herself admiring him. Sho huslcd herself with small rioncr bocs. Into which sho put her sIIpb "Would there bo nil thing further"'" It was tho man who had asked her. Ho was standing closo to her, nnd Joan saw the twinkle In his eyes that sho had failed to see before. "No I think that will do for tho pres ent," she said. "How much do I owo jou?" "Wo will let that go for the tlmo be ing jou may want mo ngaln." With that he whistled to tho small dog and raised ills cap, A moment later ho was busy in the other garden. Joan wns a trlflo Irritated for an un known reason. Ah sho put In her sweet pea seed she cast an occasional glance nt tho man who worked and whistled so Jovfully a few yards away. However, sho felt moro nenrly recon ciled to city life and tho spring seemed to have lent to her a trlflo of Its promise. Sho could at least play nt gardening in tho Interim between columns of chats with working girls. Uas nnd weeks flew Into a month. Tho seeds were beginning to ralso llttlo humps of earth as If struggling to break through Into tho world of visible grow ing things. Joan looked eagerly a dozen times a day at her trench. Tho man who had dug It for her worked only occa sionally In that other garden and there v rro long Intervals when ho did not comn out at all. Joan had come to tho conclusion that he was n resident gar dener and pcrhnps did other things In doors. Tho sweet peas had lifted tiny green heads above the ground upon the day that Joan mado her great discovery. She was glancing through a current magazine when she came across a photo graph of a man and n dog. Tho dog It was that first opened her eyes. It was a white dog, and It was none other than tho ono she had fondled while watching tho supposed gardener at the work sho had offered him. Joan looked quickly at the man's face Her face, Bhe fancied, went pale, even as does that of book heroines. Then she flushed angrily. Tho photograph was of one, Robert MacLean, clever young author, -who had recently been sent to Scotland to gather material for tho series of Scotch stories, ono ot which would be found. In tha March number of Romance, , And she, Joan Lawler, had taken him for a gardener and offered him wages. With characteristic directness Bhe Jumped up and looked out of the win dow Into tho garden below.

Sho went dunn llko a small fury, tho open magazine In her hands and approached MacLean. Ho looked up with a quizzical light In his very bluo eyes. When he saw tho open magazlno In Joan's hands ho smiled broadly. Tho tweed cap wan hanging limp In his hand, "Why did you let me-talio you for a gardener?" demanded Joan, with flash ing eyes and gloriously colored checks. "Eecauso I was at tho moment ou came for mo secretly craving that dis tinction. It Is not every ono who , hap tho honor of digging a awect pea trench for Miss Joan Lawler." The smllo was undaunted In his eyes. Tho llttlo dog had greeted Joan like a lost friend. She fpund herseir trying vainly to no angry. "I have n whole scrnnbook full" of 'Chats With Working Girls'," went on MacLean a trlflo more uerlously, "and your picture Is at tho head of every col umn. I thought perhaps you would chat with me, but you did not " Ho ended rather appealing)), and Jonn smiled frankly Into his eyes. "My sweet peas camo up today," she said, and held out a slim hand for Mac Lean to clasp. "I want to thank you for making the eprlng homelike for me. I was dreadfully homesick for tho coun try and the growing things when " "So wns I." said MacLean. "I want to take a little placo In tho country where thero is a garden soon." He looked long and intently at Joan. Her lashes swept hurriedly down and sho burled a peculiarly happy nmile In the small dog's white fur. "That would bo lovely," she said, and for a fleeting moment her eyes looked Into MacLean's. (Copyright, 19H.)
