Youth almost always Is tragic: ma

over again, how much mlsory I would
avoid; If sonio one had just beat some
common sense Into my silly, passion
ate mind and told me that every one has
similar experiences and the world will
not smash Into chaos just because of
our foolish quarrel. Hut no
body wiser was there to tell me and so
I flew Into a rage and destroyed my
happiness forever!"
Tcrhaps cadi woman does not nave
the same experiences, but they are
rather similar the world over. Al
lowing for exceptions, women are
ever so much alike in their reactions
toward life, just as men are. There
are certain sex characteristics which
made Kipling say. "The Colonel's
lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters
under the skin."
Men have had sex solidarity for
countless ages. They nrc notorious for
"standing by cadi other," in lying for
one 'another and getting one another
out of scrapes. Taking a friend home
when drunk always has been n code of
honor with them, or telling lies to his
wifo to bolster up bis story or alibi.
The reason, deep down in their con
sciences, Is that the time might come
when tiicy, too, might need n pal to
sponsor them with tho "unreasonable
sex."
It always has been claimed that
women did not stand by each other,
but wcro invariably deadly rivals. Wo
doubt this, however, even in the times
when they had not caugbt tho modern
vision of comradeship. In the harem,
they are sisters In deceit! In the hard
world of struggle, they are fellow-conspirators
In getting money out of the
'earning" sex. Whether It were the
slick little grafter who was eager for
diamonds or the gentle but clever little
wife who longed for n new hat, there
deceiving the dominant male.
Now that girls nrc in the larger life,
and so often self-supporting, they Btand
by each other in bigger, more serious
matters, stanchly upholding one who
has been abused or gossiped about and
protecting her with their loyalty.
And so the wise, experienced older
woman is a veritable doctor of emo
tional ills! She knows just wtiat the
bride is going through. She can ex
plain that John really is not a mon
ster, suddenly revealing his horns and
hoofs, when previously resembling nn
angel. She can relate thousands of
tales of other disillusioned girls who
have received shocks in lenrning that
friend husband has settled down into a
rut and apparently prefers newspapers
and baseball and prize fights and fifty
seven varieties of pleasure to the wife's
company. She insists that this is a
lelcs ulnvinc on the beach at Wau-
kaki!
So says the wise love-doctor, and one
would think the husband would accept
the advice gleefully, but to take charge
of the situation thus amiably requires a
bit of self-control and common Nense
on his part mid sometimes the tempta
tion to continue the argument, just to
fchow how wrong she was, Is irrcsisible.
Unless he honestly wants to stop fight
ing and is good-humored, the bchemc
will fail.
"We don't mean cave-man tactics,"
asserts the emotion specialist; "that
is too crude and sometimes engenders
hate. We only mean n sensible under
standing of the real, fundamental dif
ferences In men and women. "If you
love tier, tell her so ; how else Is she
going to know it?" declares the love
doctor. "No charge for prescription!"
Two Minutes of Optimism
By IIERMAN J. STICIl
Just for Fun
rnHEr tell me this story is old, which, if it were true, would to mv mind. In
this particular Instance, mean that it has .soaked In the rarifying flavor of
time; and which, if It is not true, is a powerful reason for now exnoslnc It tn tho
spotlight of publicity, so inoculating all who read it with an incurable attack of
temporary good humor. And if this makes the majority of us smiling and hap
pier for at least a short while, then it is well worth its length and breadth in
gold.
I think Raymond Hitchcock is responsible for this, as ho is for most of the
good ones going the rounds. And just for fun. then, with no attempt to extract
a moral, draw a lesson or make a point, I will give it as nearly as I can, as I
heard It. ,
A man came home after having been away for some time, and he asked his
old Negro servant how things had been during his absence.
The Negro servant said: "Oh, everything be allright, sah, only de dog do
poor dog, he died."
"That's too bad," said the master, "how did the dog die?"
"How did, he die? Oh, he was burned to death, sah."
"I'm sorry to hear that. And how did it happen?"
"Well, you see, sah, dc dog was in do barn when de barn burned down and
h couldn't get out in time, and he burned to death."
"The barn burned down, did you say? I didn't know that bow did that
happen .'
. "Oh, didn't you know, snh? Uat am a sad story. De house done burn down
and de barn done ketch fire from de house, and dc dog was in de barn and do
dog burned to death." '
Oh that's the way it happened but how did the house catch fire?"
Dat happened dis way, sah. One of de candles from yo mother-in-law's

WOMAN
By HAZEL. DEYO BATCHELOR
Copvrioht, lttl. t PubUo Ltdotr Of.
Harry Neil it arrested for cm
healing funds, and Harriet, his wife,
in order to prove his innocence, ob
tains a position in his office tinder an
assumed name, Charley Harmon,
the son of the head of the firm,
presses his attentions on her, and
Harriet soon discovers that Lucy
Pratt, an office stenographer, is in
lovo icith Charley herself. In the
meantime Harriet can discover noth
ing in the office. She is discouraged
when one night she encounters Sadie
Hoicard, a girl from the fencmeiit
icAcrc she and Harry had lived. Sadie
recognizes her, ana is determined to
give her over to the police, when
Charley happens along and carries
Harriet off lit o taxi. Sadie, angry
and frustrated, carries her story to
the tiveninu Star, ichich sends Larry.
Donahue, a young reporter, to "find
the tcoman." Larry has a hunch
and goes to the offices of Harmon
Graves where he is received by
Charley Harmon.
The Result of a Lie
CHARLEY stood as if turned to
stone, the words echoing over and
over in his brain.
"Ilnvo you a stenographer named
Miriam in this office?"
It seemed years before ho answered,
but In reality It was only n few mo
ments, nnd if Larry noticed any hesi
tation he gnvc no hint of It. Charley s
first instinct was to protect Miriam,
hn know hn must do this at any cost and
he answered tho question with a light
laugh.
"Whv. no. I don't believe wo have
I know all of the girls hero, we don't
employ many. If you don't mind my
n.sklng, what's the idea?"
He took out a handsomely engraved
cigarette case from his pocket, deliber
ately selected a cigarette with admirably
tten,dy fingers, lighted it carefully and
offered tho case to Larry.
"Thanks, no. Why, It's nothing
much, wc just thought she might be
ablo to give us some valuable informa
tion, thnt's all."
"Anything Important?"
"It might be nnd then again it
mightn't."
Larry wns plainly hedging. He had
no intention of giving Charley the in
formation ho wanted, for he was by no
means sure that Charley wns speaking
tho truth. There had been a percepti
ble pause between the question asked
and Charley's answer nnd his lighting
of tho cigarette was almost n challenge.
Larry was not si newspaperman for
noUiing. He was used to obiervlng
things, nnd ho knew how people acted
under fire.- However, he intended to
find out before he left that office whether
or not Charley was speaking the truth
nnd when Charley elaborately escorted
him to the elevator, Larry went down to
the first floor and returned Immediately.
The minute Charley was rid of his
visitor, he seized his hot and was off.
In his haste to leave he did not think
of the possibility of Larry's return nnd
the elevators carrying the two men hap
pened to pass each other.
Tho girl nt the desk outside recog
nized Larry and he threw her a look
from his Iribh eyes.
"Left an important paper behind,"
he grinned and, suspecting nothing, she
smiled sympathetically and he went in
unannounced.
Mr. Uravcs was not in his office nnd
Larry paused at tho door. Lucy I'ratt
was sitting at her typewriter, but she
looked up Inquiringly as Larry advanced
into the room.
"Did you want to see Mr. Graves?"
Larry noticed that the girl looked
pale. She hod dark circles under her
eyes nnd there wns a look about her
face that told of recent tears.
"No." he said quickly, "you'll do
just as well. I'm looking for n girl
named .Miriam and I wondered if by
nny chance she worked here in this
office. I think this is the place."
The look that swept suddenly Into
Lucy's dark eyes was illuminating.
There was sudJen hatred and a quick
desire to give any information desired
about such a girl.
"Yes," Mie said eagerly. "We have
a girl here named Miriam Taylor. She's
nof here today. What do you want
of her?"
Lucy's face, which had been quiet and
.immobile when Larry had entered tho
room, was now flushed with excitement
and interest. Here eyes were bright and
they glittered with nn Intensity of feel
ing Hiat presaged something interesting.
Inwardly she was exulting. Her one
idea now wns to get Harriet out of the
office. Woman-like she felt that if the
temptation were once removed Charley
would come back to her. He had loved
her once nnd he would love her again,
she was sure of that!

Mary Drew is Carrington Uellairs'
private secretary, and is in lovo with
one of his clients, Dick Calardin. Uel
lairs' ward. Eva Rochester, has ob
tained a position through Julian Vanda
veer, an unscrupulous adventurer, who
has known Dick in Alaska and is anx
ious to get a diamond which Diok owns
and always carries. Dick is in love
with Mary, but Eve has her eye on
him as well as on Julian. Bcllairs
wants to marry Mary, who is staying
at his country estate to do tome work
for him there.
OUT FOR CONQUEST
EVE resolved to adopt tho good old
motto that "there's no time llko
the present."
The r e f o r c, -
after lunch be
hold her snllying
forth upon tho
conquest of young
Dick Calardin.
Her small, pi
quant face was
very lightly
"touched up," so
that Dick might
honestly belicvo
art to be nature
Upon her little
nose rested no mat chiiistie
Miowy mound of power Its usual ac
companiment. Her chocks were guilt
less of artificial "aid," beyond the
merest "soupcon" of rouge, placed In
conspicuously. "I feel as though I weren't properly
dressed !" bhe remarked to Julian Van
duvecr, who was accompanying her upon
the cou ry roads, but whose instruc
tions were to fly if by nriy chance they
encountered Dick too soon.
They proceeded at a brisk place along
the" country roads.
Julian caught her hand and gave it a
tiny pressure.
"You've pretty little hands, Eve.
You're n pretty creature, altogether.
TrottiiT tnnn JHnry urew?"
"Oh, jo: n hundred times better
looking. SIio'h too liiblpld." This
wasn't true, but Julian believed In do
ing his work thoroughly. Things were
nt a ticklish point now. Calardin might
really take n definite fnncy to Eve and
queer plnns !
"Oh, Jullnn. I do believe I see him
coming! You'd better hurry away!"
Julian beat a masterly retreat, skirt
ing the hedge rows and keeping well out
of sight. Ho didn't want Dick Calardin
tc sec him in the prcscuce of Eve to
dny. That danwol squared her shoulders
like a soldier facing battle.
"How do you do, Mr. Calardin?"
She wasn't going to call him Dick this
time. The change would surely pique
his interest.
Hut Dick Calardin did not notice the
omission.

A quarter of a cup of gum arablu

steady running of this finely built, portable machine will indeed
make your sewing hour delightful. Why not, this very day, tele
