How wise was Diana I.einp tchensht
agreed with Julian that they ought to
scparatet Both Diana and Julian
realized that marriapt with them had
been dull and lacking In romance,
that their relationship had been based
on a frletulahtn of too long itnndfny.
Neither had had a chance to know
other men and women, to judge their
own feelings by competition, iinil so
they separated and immediately other
friendships drifted into their lives.
Diana for the first lima in her life
tasted the fruits of independence, for
she aeeepttd a position as chief de
signer with Madame Naldt.
DIANA had never been so completely
enthralled ln her work im nhn u-nn

quite some reputation, above all when
It was whlanred . around that gowns

some of tho Importations at "really
qulto ridiculous prices, my dear."
Once during the war an American
concern created a style that was copied
even abroad. It was nt a time when
Paris wus not thlnklnc of settlnc the
pace for any one to follow, and lo. over
night, was born tho bustle skirt. Women
went mad over it : It wan as thouch this
bunching of material In the back had
never been thought of before, and It
was worn everywhere by tho smartest
women.
Diana created a urore for the ruff of
Elizabeth's time, and Madamo Naldl's
was put on the map In consequence. O,
how easy It was to adapt the ruff In dif
ferent ways! Young girls wore It llko
a frill around their low-necked Irocks,
their youthful faced rising out of tho
mntt mnllne like flowers out of Detals.
Older women wore It close about thels
throats where it scnppa to niae teiitnic
lines, and It was universally becoming.
Ulta was so delighted with the sensa

At the end of January Cleaves Maltby
returned to the city, nnd Diana was glad

sho had taken no time nt all for relax

prepared to be carried off to the Middle

"I like him, of course, and It Is nice
to bo thought perfect. Ifs rather fas

"Diana, did jou caro for Dan Bishop?"
Diana flushed. "O. Rita, why do you

girl tho same nge. I havo known her
for one year, Just. Sho at present is at

she tolls mo that sho has a very Import
ant thin to tell me. Now, when I go to

What do you think In tho best to do?
Shall I do tho talking, as she docs not
open her mouth In regard to n matri
monial party? CHAHLIE.
Why, "Charlie," I'm surprised. Aro
you waiting to havo tho girl propose
to you? Sho's evidently trying to help
you along. However, you are both young,
you know, so don't get too sctIous.
'What Shall She Do?
Dear Cynthia You seem to help so
many: maybe you can holp ma I am
Just beginning to get acquainted In
Philadelphia, having been hero alnco
November, at which tlmo I camo hero
from up north. While getting ready to
leave my homo town I met a very nlco
young man and ho seemed to caro for
me. Now, I am n, young girl, that Is.
out for all tho ploasures In life. I havo
never been In love with any ono, and bo,
of course, thought my feelings for this
young mnn wcro Just a friendly Interest.
Ho promised to write to me, and for four
months we had a regular correspond
ence, writing nt least twice a week.
The week before Easter I met with an
accident, and tho doctors gavo up nil
hopes for me. This young mnn camo to
soe me, and soon I was strong eiough
to leave the hospital. I went up to my
homo town with my aunt nnd nm now
qulto healthy again. Whllo up there
this young man asked mo to marry him.
I told him to wnlt a few years, ns I am
only nineteen years old and he Is twenty-two
; bo ho consented. In Juno I
came back to Philadelphia and our cor
respondence continued ; but, alas, in-
stend of two a week I am now lucky to
get two a month. I have naked him tho
cause nnd his answer Is ho Is very busy.
Now I know this Isn't the truth, be
cause the summer months are their dull
est season. He has asked mo to give up
dancing. This I refused, becauso It is
the only amusement I have, as I nm a
very good dancer nnd have won quite
a fow prizes In contests. I am not say
ing I wouldn't give It up for him, but
not until he shows more consideration
for me. This angered him. Mother has
forbidden mo to wear his ring and wants
mo to forget him, but I can't Cynthia,
do you think he loves me? His letters
are chummy, but there Is n difference.
Flense tell mo what to do. Wo are to bo
married September a year, but my
mother has told mo to forget him and
send all his presents back. This I' can't
do, because I love him more thnn any
ono In the world nnd I want to give him
a chance to explain everything to mo.
Thanking you for nnv advice. I nm
PATIENTLY WAITING.
Give him a chanco to explain his
apparent Indifference. If he does not do
bo satisfactorily, better part now than
be unhappy later.

condemnation, kill the spirit which kept
her there, and which, If encouraged,
will lead her on to greater and more
glorious conquests. Cynthia, dear, that
man (I heBlttito to use the term In his
case) would rob life of its best.
I have a wee. brown-eyed Bvyoclhcnrt.
Sho Is Just a wisp of a lassie, but she
has many accomplishments, nmong them
a mastery of tho piano and excellent
control of a beautiful mezzo-soprano
voice. And after she has finished n
particularly dllllcult composition or sung
a charming song, she turns about to me,
or the assembled company, und In those
beautiful eyes of hor, she asks, "Did I
not do that well?" Cynthia, would this
man havo me wrap n self-righteous toga
about me and, scorning her, Bay, "Ah !
Vou nrn nroud of what you hnve done.
Ah! You are boaBtlng." Not I. Sho
has well deserved a word of praise. Sho
rightly merits tho appreciation she
seeks, nnd I hopo that I may always be
privileged to glvo it to her.
His has been a poor excuse for a life
If ho hns nevor craved an appreciative
word If his soul has nover longed for
n kindly "Well done, old man: well
done!" I pity him. Or to give him tho
henom nt thn doubt. I'll nssume he has;
but he hns such excellent control of his
faculties that he has never betrayed that
desire, either by look, or action, or word.
If such is the ca.se, he belongs not
among us but apart from us, for ho Is
n superman.
Listen, mnn, for hoaven'a sake! Real
ize it before It Is too late that Ood's
noblest gift to the world, to poor, grop
ing you and me, was womnn. There Is
an old Irish song which contnlns thesp
words: "His mnsterwork wns man.'
I would llko to change that last word
to "woman." And another glttedi Intel
lect has snld: "Tho noblest creation of
God is a good woman." Man if you
nro onc put that last sentence Into
your head, Write It largo where you
may see It always. And remember If
she does lovo to boast a wee bit; If sho
likes the applause of the multitude; It
she seeks a pat on tho back and a kiss
of approval, give It to her. for she rich
ly deserves It. Sho brightens every man's
future Bhe chooses to make her own.Sho
brings the glory of heaven into this drab

She haa the hardest row to boo ln this

Into the valley of tho shadow of death
in hrlne us un Into God's sunlight. And
remember that she needs your strong
hand to help her along. And when Bho

give It to her, anyway ; for, lo, you nro

As for me, here Is my creed: "The

right or wrong, the Indies."

Cynthia remembers the letter to which

Is pardonable, but other Is unpnrdon

all the "kldn" nre wondering
whether "Mother's Darling" will be
back in t1" class again,
"Mother's 'Darling" started in the
littlest clnss, at,d like all tho other
littlest scholars, sl'o was brought to
school each morning by her mother.
Thnt wns perfectly right then, nnd
nobody thought anything about it.
Hut the next vonr. when nil the chil
dren had grown up enough to come to
school alone, with mother anxiously
waving good-by as long ns she 'could
catch sight of n small hand from the
porch, "Mother's Dnrllng" was still
escorted every morning.
And the year after thnt, when the
littlc.it children had nil grown up to be
"regular kids." mother still appeared
every day lending her pale, stilted,
overdressed "Darling" by the hand.
It wouldn't hnve Btich it bnd effect on
"Darling's" popularity f mother did
not wear such fancy clothes nnd such
a fancy face.
If she dressed ns most of the mothers
do thero might bo some effort to think
thnt "Darling" wns delicate, nnd re

Hut when these two stiffly starched,
carefully arranged figures enter the

that "Dnrllng" needn't bo so pale if she
were only nllowed to live nnd play nud

Two Minutes
By HERMAN
The Diet of Doers
There is n stretch of countryon the Atlantic coast where by day thi
sun bents down hcorchingly nud at night chilly windstorms sweep everything
before them rnmcrclfully.
Rarely, if ever, does rnln fall. When it does, it descends in deluges.
The land supports neither humaus nor animals, andthere Is scarcely any
vegctatloui
It is n sort qf no-mnn's-domnin, where the pitiless elements ride trium
phant nnd defy invasion, with no prospect of its ever being otherwise.
Info this God-forsaken spot, n group of scientists went to make observa
tions of plant, Insect or nny other life thnt they might possibly find.
Anu after they lind made their
return home, one of the party curefully ..scooped up n largo shovelful of d
sand in the center of which wns n sturdy little green plant, which somehow
other had survived its environment, nm! even thrived through it nil. '
This plant nnd its enrth he painstakingly transplanted in his hothouse and
tended to it with tender nnd intelligent cure.
And then n very curious nnd nmnzlng thing happened.
Instead of flourishing und growing to greater size nnd strength, it began
to fade.
Dny by ''a.', and in spite of everything the scientist did for it. it lost.
And after a while, the plant that hud conquered drought nnd deluge, and
blistering heat nnd chilling blasts, apparently died of kindness:
All of which goes to show thnt sometimes n plant, like ninny n man, can't
stand prosperity.
Also why the business mnn who is wise docs not-retire.
For the thing that keeps men alive nnd going is the constant conflict with
men nnd issues, the struggle to retain old business, the unceasing battle to gain
new business, the unquenchable desire to become u grenter. nnd greater and
still grenter factor in the particular circle in which they travel.
It is n dangerous thing when n man jumps from tho heights of activity
nnd competition to the depths of Idleness nnd case. Few survive the fall.
Many an employe thinks of his employer: "If I had his money, I'd taku
it easy for tho rest of my life." If 'he did, ho would be the uncasicst man in
the world.
Don't bewnll your fate because you must continually fight; think, keep on
the qui vivo nnd swnllow other such pill thnt seem unpleasant.1 They nro

POOR little "Mother's DarHug'1''
She tAlsscs all the giggly, whlspery,
wriggly fun of little girlhood.
There Is none of thnt "Oh, come, on
over this nftcmoon, I've got something
to show you 1" for her.
The mysteries of "Let's havo a club
for something nnd wear Greenland yel
low ribbons for it nnd make up a Ian
gnagp that nobody else knows" never
can thrill her.
Nobody wants u friend who has
never learned how to play.
Nobody takes any Interest in mich a
stiff, good IJttle prig who prefers to
walk ns sedately as her mother, instead
of running once In a while.
There is nothing better for a little
girl nnd n, big girl nnd a just plain
girl than n fine, understanding,
inenuiy cuiiiruucsiiip wiin ner mother.
It mnkes her a finer woman atid a
better mother when her turn comes.
But for a certain portion of tho dav
she ueeds the companionship and tho
piny of other Ilttlo glt;lH of her own nge.
She grows up before her time if she
is kept so close to mother's hand all
the time; sho gets no chance to bring
out her own personality.
IF SHU docs develop n will of her
own she keeps it hidden, and then
some time when she grows up and be
gins to want the fun nnd freedom that
she has been deprived of for so long,
she goes after It all 'alone, and vert
often gets it In the wrong wny.
It isn't fair to JJnme her when H
hnppens this wny; she hasn't been given

nil of which were rensonabiy priced,
while "adventuring" today. Ono was

$1.50. Another more serviceable style
was of white pique, finished ut the neck
with a bow of soft, black sutin. This
wus priced nt $1 and can be cnuily
luundcred.
Hirthdays will roll nround nnd then
arises tho question. "What shall I buy
her, she has everything." A girl T
know hns passed another milestone nnd
some one gave hcrn marmalade jar, for
the hope chest. It is of thin glnss
trimmed with n gold band, through
which runs a dainty design of blue
and -black flowers. The ladle is gold
tlpped nnd thn bowl Ih gold. One of
these can be purchased for $1, and tho
jar is not only useful, but very pretty.
