Please Tell Me What to Do By CYNTHIA Apprehend Operation Dear Cynthia I Just have to wnw again. I have enjoyed reading your column very much. Bo "Johnnie Blue Eyes" thinks the girls are blind, docs he? Well, perhaps they are, but not always so blind as you think they are, I enjoyed "Nonj do Plume's" letter, and am going to do as hoi said wirlt awhile Soma one said to meet the good fb lows .U church. Thnt Is all very well but they nre not nil rood that go to church, and besides my work keeps mt away, t work every Sunday nnd havf Monday off, and I nlso work every night until 10 o'clock. Sometimes I have Wednesday nights off. I think le my first letter. I said I had bad two very serious operations. Well, the doc tor wants me to have nhother on durlntr my vacation next month, but I nave not thought much about It. as It will not bo a very pleasant vacation. Now, what would some of ou readers do. ns it will not got any oelter, onlj worse? Thank 014. Cynthia, nnd tell me what you would do. DIA7E RYES. Consult another physician, and If he, too, advlres an operation better have it "O. Henry, Jr.'a" Idea of a Sport C'ear Cynthia No, MoWlzzburgh, I fear you arc wronff as regards "your sport. Bv this time I hope you have seen the folly of your statements nnd 60Ught to correct them. Eventually your friend's sin will find him out. And t nsk you. Why connect the word "sport" wlUi riotous living at nil? Th latter has no placo In nny line of en deavor. You say "without vice therf can be no llternture." Well, you are jvronif again. Anything having the sem. bianco of good, with lasting qualities, can get along perfectly well without the aid of evil Evil Is bound to fall Even now It Is fast losing Its hold upon humanity and disappearing into Its native, nothingness. Rlotou? living (one of tho most significant forms of ovll) Is merely an indication of mental de pravity. The fino typo of mind will nut reaori in sensual diversion, inn great truth Is bccomlntr more nnd inor apparent And why? Because mind rises far above matter and seeks only those pleasures which nro beyond human coguiznnce. This mny seem a trlflo deep, but nevertheless It Is tho absolute truth. Your friend emerges from his dissipations no wiser or better: if nny thlng his faculties arc confused nnd scattered. Also, he has broken the lawt of God, and Incurs the censure nlaceo upon sinners. You mentioned his being sent to me Hospital, where lie suffered sovercly. Without wishing to offend, 1 might say. "Sin nunlshes Itself." And so. McWizzburgh, I think your tlieorier, aro smashed to Jelly. Tho worm nas no need for your type ot sport. He Is a menace to society nnd a hindrance to spiritual growth. Perhaps his suffering has made him a better man ; you know It usually does, though sometimes In such a small degree that It Is not nlways apparent. And, lastly, I will tell you about "my sport." I haven't met him (or her) yet, but I hope to some day. "My sport" l the one who can, after undergoing all phases .of human hardship, suffering and discouragement, look the whole world In the lace and smile. O. HENRY, JR. You are quite right, O. Henrv, Ji Your Idea of a sport Is the true one. What of Mixed Marriages? Dear Clynthia As you have helped so many people through your column I am writing to you for advice. Plense do not publish my letter, but Just the answer in your evening paper. For tho last two years I have been going with n man whom I knew when we were school children, but who is of a different religion than myself. He has asked me to marry him nnd I have ac cepted him, as I love him very dearly and wa both get along beautifully to. gether. But for tho last six months. have told my mother and who then tells mo of tho trouble and terrlblo times that other couples have had who married under the same circumstances. They never think of telling about the happv cases. His people treat mo lovely and my people think he is a perfect gentle man. It is only when other people talk to my mother and feel so sorry for her that i begin to wonder If religion does In tho end make such an awful big differ ence as to wreck the lives of those who really love each other for themselves alone.

WORRIED. It depends very much on whnt religion each professes. If the marriage is be tween Protestants of different denomina tions. It Is not likely that there will be unhapplncss. but if one Is a Catholic and the other a Protestant, or one a Jew and the other a Christian, Cynthia would advise against a mixed marriage. If a Protestant marries a Citthdllc he must be married by a priest, must prom ise, never to Interfere with the practice of the Catholic's religion nnd must bo willing, If there are children, to have them instructed and brought up as ("nth. ollcs. If n Jew marries a Christian he is rejected by his own people nnd there Is a constant sourco of unhapplness. There Is nothing closer to a person than his or her religious belief, and even if both promise never to Interfere, the fact remains that one of the things which is closest to you and means most in your life that is, jour faith In f.od and your belief in His teachings must ever remain a closed subject or be a source of endless, stubborn discussion. Tho reason, dear, that you hear of fen marriages that have been happy undtr these circumstances is that thtie aro very few.

"AONE-MAN WOMAN" By HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOB Copurtaht. lttt, b Publh Ledger Co. ffer husband In prison for a theft that he did not commit, Harriet A'cll conceire the daring idea of petting a joh telth Barry's- concern, and find' ii(7 fAe guilty person for herself. Her position is dangerous, for the po lice connect her disappearance icith the theft, and the situation U fur ther complicated by the fact that her employer's son, Charley Harmon, falls in love icith her and Harriet thus incurs the enmity of Lucy 1'iatt, an ojjice stenographer. But shc docs not give up even in the face of pos sible discovery, for a jealous gtrl, Sadie Jloieard, recognises her and makes trouble. Just tchen things look darkest Harriet stumbles on the trufh, for Lucy Pratt overhears an impassioned plea of Charley s aftei office hours one day, and, bursttng into the room, denounces him as the real thief. Charley is banished to a ranch out West, but he first con fesses to his mother what his love for Ilarrict has meant to him. The Pledge of Faith OF COUHSE, Mr. Harmon wanted to reinstate Barry. He came him self to Mrs. Baxter's boarding house, where that estimable woman, all smiles now and highly flattered by the amount of publicity given to her house through Harriet's presence there, had installed Barry and his wife in a large, fairly comfortable rtom in tho front. "I don't kniw that I can ever mnkc things up to ytu." he. said when Barry met him in the ugly front parlor. "But our Job's there, the one we talked nbout before this thing happened. I'd like to think that jou'cl take hold of it nnd make joiirsclf of real value to the firm." But Barry shook his head. In his heart of hearts he knew that his pres ence in tho office would be u reminder to Mr. Harmon of what had happened, ami the connection would not be a suc cessful one. He had talked it nil over with Harriet and she had advised him not to go bnck, and Barry would have taken a job as lion tamer these das if Harriet had suggested It. And so the two men parted, Mr. Har mon thankful that Barry had turned the jub down, nnd Barry accepted an oiler from one of the largest banking houses in the eit nt n snlnry three limes whnt lie hnd received in the ca pacity of undcrclerk at Harmon & (tiav'cs. The new apartment was the jo.i of llaniet's heart, for she hail discovered herself three old -fashioned, high-cell-inged rooms, on one of the side streets off lower Fifth avenue. They furnished It piecc-mcnl, hnuntlug" auction rooms together nnd laughing like two children ov tr bargains in mahogany.

I came upon her last night making a very wry face and mopping some hair tonic that was trickling down the hack of her neck In nn uneven course. "It does Hint nil the lime," she lamented. So I have solved her problem for her b.v means of a Ionic comb. It has five teeth and a red rubber bulb nttnehed to them. The teeth of the comb are hollow, which permits the sucking of the tonic into the bulb. When run through the hair the teeth start the blood circulating, keep the tonic from trickling from the scalp and keep the finger tips free of tonic, The comb cn for fifty cents.

Hazel Deyo Batchelor Has made the most of a tense, dramntic situation in this new serial, and action begins rapid! in the first chapter which nQpcars NEXT MONDAY were over, that Barry was safe, and they were together ngaln. Once she had cried for a lone time there in the dark- ness nt the blessed relief of waking up irom a terrimc iircam to unci Harry , there beside her, and afterward she had curled up like a kitten, one of his hands held tight; in both of hers, and her eye lushes lying long and wet on her warm, Hushed cheeks. Late in the afternoon on the day be fore Christmas. Harriet was alone In the living room of the apartment. She was knejding on the hearth loaning a fire to burn in the old-fashioned fire place, when the bell rang mid she ent smilingly to the door. A woman stood outside, a strange woman, richly dressed, with a calm, proud face, and beautiful sad e.vc. She smiled nt the radlnnt gill before her, nnd snid softly : "Mny I come in n moment? 1 am Mrs. Harmon." Harriet led the way into the lirinf room, wondering!-, and the two women SRt facing each other on each side of the fireplace. The fire which hnd de cided to burn wus leaping up merrily and it was very nt tractive in the large old studio room. Harriet herself wal like a rare old painting lu her straight red dress, antl the e.ves of the older woman took in every detail of her chnrm. Then she spoke. "I suppose ou are wondering why I enme. but for n wry long tlinp I vj been wanting to see you, and now I have o message to j on from m. son. Hnrriet stiffened n little and Mra.
