'V Mm "v3kHr c'rm THE QUESTION: TO BE OR NOT (It Seems to Be Clearly a Girl's Duty to Marry, ' ' Provided It Is a Case of Love and Not Romantic rpQ DB or not to be a wnr brldo7 Thnt ' Is the question agitating certain lovo- torn maidens in theso uncertain times. Naturally, the answer Is always the same that It Is a problem which must b worked out by the girl and the man themselves. Thero Is always the danger that, car- rled away by the hysteria of the moment, a. girl will marry a man she would not In quieter times even consider as a posslblo 4' ,'. life-mate only to find out several years "Whence that sho has mado a hideous mis ' take. And if sho is married thus hastily 4 and to the wrong man, she stores up not Jj-'t only unhapplncss for herself .but for an pother. , Ono cannot help wondering on reading of tho scores pf war-tlmo marriages JuBt Kow many of them will "pan out." Tins otner nami, ir two young Wth! things are and have been In lovo for ome time and havo intended marrying, It seems clearly to bo their duty to con summate a marriage beforo tho ono Is called away. Thero aro many tempta tions an enlisted man Is called on to face, and the memory of a llttlo wife back homo would have a firmer hold over him than anything else could have. Thoughts of a flanceo oro tender to cherish, but a wife is a responsibility few men will fall to live up to to tho beat of their ability. .'TP'NAMjT, thought must be given to the generations to come.

It Is a mistake to hold oneself too aloof. I think I would write n little note to the young man, or telephone to him at his home. It Is better not to telephone to a man's office.

Cellulose Is a term npplled to the sub stances out of which the structure of plants la formed.

In the body, however, It does not undergo dlgetdlon and' Is oast off as refuse Cellulose Is fonnd In largo quantities In cojrso vegetables, such as spinach and celery, und nlso In the bran of wheat, for which reason green vegetables nnd breads and porridges containing a large proportion of bran nre valuable In cases of constipation.

(Cops right.) Tho Colonists paid a great deal of atten tion to their doorways and on them lavished their best and most artistic effort, leaving the remainder of the house very often quite plain. Some of these doorways, as shown in tho illustra tion, were very simple and constrained, their great charm lying in their proportions and in the delicacy of their moldings nnd graceful fanlights; others were elabor ated with c a r,v o d moldings, caps and ornament. Thero are many, especially among tho simpler ones, which we might do well to copy. We cannot hope to excel them unless wo are willing to put into the task ns much care as did the early builders.

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BILLY BUMPUS .MEMORIES By Farmer Smith Picture to yourself the quiet of home after Hilly Humpus returned from his trip to the nrmy. Ho Is seated by tho firelight, reading the Ooatvllle News, or, as we see him now, reading while his good wlfo Is preparing breakfast "I wish you would toll me moro about tho army nnd what you did there," said Mrs. Humpus to Billy. "I never told you about tho parrot we had." began Billy, putting the paper down and looking up nt his good wife. "You see, I had a great habit of teasing that parrot nnd one day he began to tease me and talk about my butting, which I did not like, so that afternoon ho forgot what ho was doing nnd I caught him on the floor and gave him a good butt that he will not forget " "How brave you are!" said Mrs. Uumpus, as she gave a fly a swat. Mrs Bumpus was devotion Itself. She did everything she could to minister to her dear Billy's comfort nnd when the files bothered him sho would go nil over the house nnd kill the llttlo troublemakers. Sometimes sho would glvo a fly an extra big SWAT! whlcjji would make Billy Jump. "I thought that was a gun going off under my nose," he would say. Then they both would laugh. "I don't see why you don't got some fly paper nnd save your strength," said Billy one day. "I havo some and I think It Is nbout time to uso it," replied Mrs Bumpus as she went to tho cupboard nnd took from It the fly paper which sho had carofully put there so that It would not bo in Billy's way "Now, my dear, I want you to be careful not to get Into that fly paper, or put the Ooatvlllo News In It, for If you do It will get Into your beautiful hair nnd you will not look very much like a hero MY hero!" Mrs. Humpiia. pulled the fly paper apart and laid It carefully on the dining room table. Billy sat down nnd began reading again nnd Just at that moment a tiny fly lit on tho end of his nose. "Hey! llttlo fellow, you go over nnd sit on that fly paper," said Hilly wiggling his little stump of a tall. Mrs. Uumpus camo over nnd shoo-ed the fly nway and when It lit on tho table she came down on It with a BA.VOi Hilly Jumped "That reminds me thnt I havo never told you of the time I saved the general's maps did 1?" "No, but I wish you would tell mo all about It," replied his good wife. "Woll, ou see. our army vvns retreating ana mere was no one to save tnc papers and maps on the general's table and so, after he the general ran away, I went up and saved the maps and papers " "MY hero!" exclaimed Mrs. Bumpui. "There I was, tho enemy coming after us nnd I vvns tho only one bravo enough to get thoso papers and run away with them." said Billy. "How did you do It?" "Thero was nothing else for me to do," answered Billy "I ate them." "OH!" sighed his good wite.

It Is Billy's birthday, and I come out to stay two days with him and have stayed on and on nnd won't go back until next Mon day. I brought out both the k ds n white pique suit and white shoes and stockings, nnd they look awful cunning. I al"" buy something for Paul, because It seems kind of selfish to give to Billy and not to tho other one I don't think the hmlths have much money. He was a teacher In a school in Ungland, and his health broke down nnd ho come to America because ho thought ho could do better here, but I don t think everything Is going Just as ho thought It would.

I am learning to be a housekeeper, and "I help round," as Mrs Smith says, all day. Wo washed Monday nnd I never knew It took such work to just wash clothes. I have washed handkerchiefs and some of Billy's things up In my room, but here wo wash Bheets and pillow cases and table cloths and shirt waists. Talk nbout shirt waists! I use to tell Mrs. Murphy that didjinlne up, that sho was an old thief, cause she charged mo twenty cents for them, but now I know sho earned her money all right. Klrst Mis Smith soaked tho clothes over night with some white powder In the water Then Mr Smith fished tho washing machine out of the lake where it was put where Its seams would swell up, and I turned tho handle of the thing till I thought my arm would come off, but It was rather fun, as It was out of doors, nnd I could watch the thlpmonks as they como looking for scraps from the kitchen. There Is some squirrels In the trees, and they look so'pretty setting up on their haunches with their long bushy tails curled over their backs, nibbling away at a nut.
