use of hc ono talent she possessed,
she obtained a position as chief de
aipnerrlth a fashionable dressmaking
establishment Soon other men and
women began to appear in the lives
of both, but the romance and passion
that each expected eluded them in
every rase. Then, after they had
been separated for some months,
Diana met Julian in the street The
meeting was an important factor in
the. lives of both
DIANA trusted Rita, and Rita was the
one woman In whom she confided
the fact that she had met Julian Rita
looked at the younger woman s flushed
cheeks and sparkling eyes and remarked
dryly
"Diana, did you ever stop to think

"Itltn, don't be absurd, Julian nnd

Is ridiculous" ,
"But If you dlscoered that you did
rare for htm. what then? The very
fact that he Is no loncer your husband
om.nl'e the sentimental touch to your
relationship the touch that you always
have said was missing"
Plana drew herself up almost stiffly
and her voice was nu'te cold. She re

and I shall never Infringe on It again
I wish him happiness Just Ml wish
happiness for mvself. but we could never
find It together."
R'ta slKhed a little "Some day,
Diana," she said earcrly. "when you
are a little older, you will understand
some things better. I have never been
married, and vou will think me fool

nnd that Is that two people who linve

one of tho most remarkable facts
about Charles Stratton. or "Tom

was that he was above tho normal size

months old and less than twentj--one

him all over tin. world under the as

fairy tale of "Hop-o'-My-Thumb." The
"general" was presented to Queen Vic

was received by tne royal family In
France. Een the most conserative
Journals of the time commented upon
him, describing his nasal but pleasing

that In England alone he kissed more

that his face was anything but hand

It was for this reason that Terrill.

Wants Advice
Dear Cynthia I am a young woman
of twenty-two. I was married to a
young man two years ago. Now It
seems to me ho becomes simple-minded.
He sends mo to work every day, and
I feel too tired to work In the factory;
also I must hurrv home every evening
and cook tho supper. Is thin necessary
for every woman? Furthermore, when
I receive my pay, my husband takes
my wages In his hand and controls them
ns ho likes.
Moreover, once In a while I want to
buy a new hat for Sunday but he 's
against It. He said: "You can buy the
hat, but not dearer than soventy-five
cents." But I don't llko so cheap a hat.
Dear Cynthia, tell me is he right
with his conduct? Kindly advise me
what I can do to Improve my life. My
husband has nearly $2000 n bank.
E. A. K.
Talk the matter over with him. Tell
him you feel that you should have the
sav 'n regard to tho money you ner-
sonally make and If he needs notno for
homo expenses you will contribute, but
otherwise you feel you havo tho right
to spend It.
Did vou start worklnir onlv nfter vou
were married or did .vou agree that nu
would both work nfter marriage? He
sure to be fair In your judgments.

Dear Cynthia. Pleaso give me your
opinion about the following: During; 101s
I met a man. Since then I did not hear
from him until early In the Bummer of
this year, and as he Is living In the city
now I Invited him to visit me and have
been out with him several times. Wo both
had our vacation during August. Ho
suggested that an we both had the same
tlmo off, I visit his home town and
he would take mo around. I was to live
at a hotel nnd we were to spend the af
ternoon nnu evenings together. lie want
ed mo to stay about n- week. I suggested
at first to tome for about three days.
then decided not to go at nil, which
decision I followed, ns I felt It was not
exactly the proper thing to visit his
peosle and frlendb In that way. We are
not engaged and so fnr as I am con
cerned. will never become enaared. I Ilka
him as a friend and nothing more. Ho
now tells mr of nil the good times I
missed by not coming. Did I do right?
We are botl- past twenty-five years of

perfectly proper for mo to go automo.

ing, without a third party? I know this
man very well, and feol I can trust him

AN ADMIRER OF YOUR COLUMN.
You were aulte rlfrht not to ko to this
young man's home town, especially to
stay In a hotel by yourself, and o out
with him every day .
If ho wanted you to be there so vorv
much, why did he not have his family
invite ou to stay with them? If you
know this young man very well and aro
twenty-fle years of age, thero seems to
be no reason why you should not ride
with him In the evenings In his car. Do
not stay out late, though. A girl's good
reputation is her most precious posses
sion, and neighbors' gossip, no matter
how untrue nnd unfounded, can do a
creat deal of harm, so be always care
ful not to overstep bounds In points of
lato hours and too frequent going out
with ono man.
'The "Sophist" Again
Dear Cynthia Cc solr, which Is a
way of referring to this evening, as 1
sate In my study, copping an optic full
of your Intensely Interesting column, I
hapt upon a communication nlUxed
with the somewhat generic appellation
of "Ex-Top Kick," tn whjch the per
petrator quite evidently Intended to
create the lmnresslon that he and his
pari! had Indulged In an extremely
hearty guffaw on the'r Joint perusal or
enlstle to "De Jure," which had
appeared In "Please Tell Me" a brace
or nuits nerore. Also me Dimoo nere-
Inhnfnrementloned saw fit to nllude to
vourtf correspondentlally as the rrult of
an almond tree, besides ejecting; the
extraordinary Information that my now
rather voluminous dialogue did any
th'ng but appeal to his literary tastes,
and furthermore suggested that In the
drear, dank future! refrain from such
copious eruptions cies mois.
Having unburdened ourself from the
abovo undactylologlcal Introduction, we
will now proceed to start to go forward
with the matter In glove, or something
like that.
If the gentleman In question, who I
doubt not. Is a permanent resident of
bo'led Egg Harbor, wrll! kindly scrape
tho mud off his specs and Rlvn ihat not
another once-over, taking care to spell
out each Individual word and making
frequent references to Mr Webster's
famouo work, he will gradually come to
comprehend the faot that, contrary to
his premiere hastily formed opinion. I
ejarulated a couple of mouthfula when
I tore off those lurid lines If, however
nfter a minute cxamtnat'on he falls to
detect an atom of sense beneath thi
superabundant flow of adjectives, i
earnestly Implore nnd beseech "Ex-Top"
to suspend a crepe on his nasal pro
tuberance Immediately. It not sooner
because his brains have expired. Them'f
harsh words, I know, but I'm only glv
Ing what was gae, so to speak a bit
of "Buddy's" buddy's own soup eonu
of that golden rule formula, old fruit.
Which leads me to 'nqulre why. If
-s you admit, the document was away
over our dip, you endeavored to criti
cize something you didn't know any
thing nbout? How come such a state
of affairs?
And here's an additional broadside
I've noticed during the short space of
time that I've been addicted to th
column that knocking Is tha best
thing "Ex-Top" and his "buddy" do
They never contribute anything to
"Plense Tell Me," etc., eta, except
knocks. Leastways I have never barked
my organs of sight on any original stuff
from their crayons.
Stay off tho brickbats, bud, or I
rray become provoked and Incite you
and your pal to take a lofty plunge off
the roor or a nign, nign buna ng.

ah Older woman precedes a young
woman when entering an olevator, train

a room and when ascending or descend
Ina a stairway. In trains nnd street
cars. If there Is no masculine escort, tno
younger woman augnis nrst, nnu tnen
assists the older woman to descend the
1 tens.
Assistance should be offered only
when the senior, because of advancing
years, Infirmity or fntlgue, really wants
nnd needs a little attention. It should
be borne In mind that somo middle-aged

A Trip to California
To the Bdltor of Woman's Paps:
Dear Madam Would you bo so kind
as to Inform me what clothing to take
for a trip to San Francisco and Sac
ramento, Calif.? I expect to leavo this
month and will spend several months
thero. MRS. I. H. W.
If you are going to spend several
months on your trip to California you
will need a regular summer wardrobe.
It would be best to prepare for It as If
ou were preparing for a regular sum
mer at home white waists and skirts,
sweaters, gingham dresses and olIes
and organdies for afternoon. Then It
would bo well to have a few warmer
clothes, for I believe It does get cold
there sometimes. A warm" coat and a
silk dress as well aa a serge dress or
suit would bo veil to tako with you.
Rain 8pots on Vtjlvet
To the Editor ot Woman's Page:
Dear Madam Would you kindly tell
iiiu iiuw m rvinuva ra-in spots xrom a
brown velvet hat7 They show very
plainly. c. E.
Rain spots can usually be removed by
nreeslnr over a niece of the anme mn.
ter nl, moistened with lukewarm water.
wncn ine spot is on velvet, however,
on cannot press It out, but yoli can
steam it. Place a hot iron upside down
on a stand or In a pan of some kind
that will hold It upright. Then place
wet cloths over It and draw the hat
over the Iron so that the steam goes
mi uubu ii mm inuncs it boii nnu moist.
Brush the nap side with a soft brush
as you steam It. You cannot do this
on the brim, as that must have either
velvet or silk On the under side, but
you can hold It over tho steam until it
becomes moist, in tho same way, and
brush It afterward. The hat will re
sume Its stiffness und shape as soon as
It gets dry, and unless tho rain has
beaten down the nap too hard the epots
will not show.
Adventures .With'a Purse
AND now that you nre back after a
rest, after a short or long time at
country, mountain or shore, what of
yo'iir complexion? What of that face
that has been exposed to wind and sun?
The color may bo ruddy and healthy,
I grant you, but what of the texture
of your skin? Exposure to sun and
wind dries out the skin's natural oils,
and 1b quite likely to leave it dry and
leathery. Al' of which is why you need
the complexion cream I want to tell
you about. And before going further,
I want to say that I use it myself,
and swear by it. It is compound of
certain oils which take the place of
those the skin loses, and the natural
result after using it is a smooth, clear
skin, glowing with youthful freshness.
You will like Its form, too no sticky

Two Minutes
By HERMAN
"Just Did W
A devastating fire was rnglng In San Francisco. Block after Mock wis,
being burned to the ground. The firefighters were hourly losing control o! the
blaze. The wind was blowing up stronger. The city seemed doomed. Then
ono man rose to the occasion.
Thero was no time to telegraph, no time to consult, no time to telephone
or procure permission. There was only time to act and precious little time
at that.
Stationing batteries of machine guns in front of vacated houses that were
in tho direct path of the conflagration, Captain Funston, as he was then, opened
fire. In a few minutes, the destructive blaze was surrounded with a brick and
rubbish hill, which under the steady deluge of millions of gallons of water,
turned into a mountainous swamp that confined the fire fiend and saTtd Baa
Francisco.
Captain Funston had disobeyed the rules, had exceeded his authority. Hot
shortly after, Captain Funston received the congratulations and thanks of a
grateful nation!
The world expects people to follow regulations, to be a "good soldier."
But it docs not expect people to let the red -tape worm consume their Initiative
and its rewards are slight for those who everlastingly work by the card.
"I want men to como to me WITH a decision, not FOR a decision," says
one of Amer.ica'8 greatest magnates, who, like most other businessmen, hu
had enough of people who are perpetually looking for mental crutches scd
intellectual life preservers, instead of learning to swim and thinking independ
ently. The tiuman clinging vine has little market-value.
Tho mnn who hns no faith in himself, who trembles to use his own judg
ment, loudly advertises his weakness. He is like the mnn who, wanting to
carry out n good idea, first consulted his brothers; then ho consulted his uncles;
then he consulted his cousins; then ho consulted his friends; then, discovering
that they all disagreed, he decided to follow his own advice. Then ho found
he was seventy-five years old and be had no time at all to do it.
"How'd you do it?" wc often ask admiringly, perhaps enviously, of a friend
who has startled us by his sudden success.
"I don't know," is the usual nnswer; "I just did It."
crenm in a jar. It comes in cake form,
unci one merely rubs the smooth, faintly
scented enke over one s face. Then rub
it in gent'y, and afterward wash it off
with warm water and a soft cloth. I
honestly believe that the firbt time you
use it you will be able to see very
encouraging results. The price of the
coke is sixty cents.
Why is it that so many people are
careless about their jewelry? Keeping
stones bright nnd sparkling as they
should be docs not require much effort.
And with the outfit of which I want
to tell you. it becomes u very Mmplc
matter. This outfit consists of a
cleansing fluid and n good long-bristled
bruRh for getting underneath stones,
and a box of what I havo a'ways called
"jeweler's sawdust" a preparation for
polishing precious stones. About two
minutes' work every once in so often
will keep your jewelry clear and bright.

Actual Proof!
We've often explained to you the work
ings of our Producer-to-Consumer Plan how
it enables us to give you the highest quality
groceries at the lowest prices.
. A striking illustration of this lies in
"Asco" Blend Coffee. Without our Producer-to-Consumer
Plan, without our direct connec
tions with the coffee markets of the world, we
would never be able to give you such a superla
tively high grade coffee at such a low price.
Compare "ASCO" BLEND with the highest
priced Coffee, or the blend you have heretofore
considered the best. The first "cup" of "Asco"
Blend that passes your lips will convince you
that you have found that "coffee sat is fact on"
you have always longed for. "Asco" Blend has
certain delightful, distinctive taste that makes
it stand out.

'Can I help?" shs asked. And as sha
jpoke she took a' blind step forward and
bumped Into a man Who was coming
rapidly ont of the train.
Then Sue began to laugh.

And then they giggled.
Thev wanted to behave tn im.
with the 'dignity of-their twenty S
twenty-three years, but somehow that
giggie startcu, got neaaway, and there
was nothing to do but giggle it out.
And so they giggled. It Isn't a' bit
hard to giggle when you'ro twenty and
twenty-three.
GRANDMOTHER came to visit tt
family last week
She and mother were remlnl.diif
about mother 8 girlhood.
"Do you remember that Canon boy
who thought he was in love wJth you?"
asked grandmother.
""Oh, test" exclaimed Inother. "And
I started to make, him an embrotdered
pillow for his room In .college. And
Tom was coming to see me then, and I
lost interest in the pillow, and yen had
to finish it, nnd the Carson boy told
me 1 was wonderful to do so much
work Just for hhn. Oh, yes, I remem
ber." ' -j
She rhucklcdand the chuckle sounded
very much like a giggle. And grand.
mother chuckled. ' And that sounded
very much llko a giggle.

The outfit will last for ages and ages,
and its price is $1.
There are many women who would
appreciate something warmer than a
petticoat for fall, and yet would hesi
tate to wear tho extreme garment
fashioned like long semt-fittlng trousers.
There is a garment, however, that com
bines all the advantages of the petti
coat and the long bloomer or pants
'ette. The one I have in mind is of
heavy lustrous silk and comes in moit
any color, so that you could match
your suit. This garment is caught in
about the ankles, but over this la a
full ruffle, so that when you step on
cars, or if the wind blows, it has all
the appearance of a petticoat. Yet it
protects you from cold winds, and Ij
unquestionably warmer.
