The Other Woman
NANCY'S one Idea wns to get away.

wilderness where she would never see
another man as

scoffed nt the Idea

suffered because of him, suffered the

one tends to put on more and more red

we do not get a frcMi view of our own

faintest bit of pinli, in order to counter

Dear Cynthia Tho Illblo says, "Let
another man praise theo nnd not thine
own mouth ; a stranger nnd not thine
own lips." The Iminortnl Slmkespenro
tells us that "thero Is not one wlso man
In twenty thnt will pralso himself." Evi
dently "Mens Temporum" hasn't heard
or read of these passages. His very ap
pellation Mens temporum, mind of .the
times displays unheard-of egotism. And
ho knocks "Tho Plebo," a man with In-
tnllet. U'Ikma I'llnlntaMlirlhlft nrtfntle

tlsm of which "StcnH Temporum" spoke ,
Then In tho pcrorntlon of his disserta
tion he (Mens Temporum) "warns" "The
Plebo" not to debate with him. It has,
to use tho words of our Rood friend "The ,
Plebo," "a chambrosalo effect upon my
risibility " I
Vhy t myself could easily defeat Mens i
Temporum In a debate. If ho doesn't '

we'll go. TIItffs'DHIlUOLT.
Who Speaks First? ,
Dear Cynthia I am a reader of your'

and I thoiiKht you would ndvlse me. 1
am In love with ft fellow called Harry,
and I leve him denrly. I do not know
whether ho loves me or not 1 n.i n.
very gocd friend of his sister, nnd do
you think tt proper to go to her home
to see her? I think he may think I
am running nfter. him. If you nre
slightly acquainted with any fellow Is n
proper to speak to him tlrst on the street
or should he speak llrst? I do not know
whether Harry llktc me or not. but when
he sees mo on the street with other girls
ho will not sjunk, but he will If 1 am
alone. Home of tho girls near my home
have a club, nnd wo Intend to have a
party. The nre goInK to invito their
fellows, und do you think I should In1
vlte Hany? When I go to see hlB sister
nt night ho nlwns stays at home, but
she Pays thnt other nights he never
stays at home-. I would like to see the
answer to this as fcoon ns possible.

They Approve of "Reddy"
Dear Cynthia First Impressions nre
always lasting, nnd after muling the
letter written by "Iteddy" to your col
umn we wish to say that lie made a de
cidedly good Impression by mine of lit
remarks whllo soma others ure vice
versa.
To prove our contention when wo sav
that Uie boys prefer the paint und pow
der girls, tuko ourselves, for instance
Why, at u dnnco or party the Plain
Janes like wo were don't even get a look,
while tho blg'-tlmers teem to be tho
whole show.
As for the glrlB preferring one-button,
high-cut suits, sailor-effect pants, bell
cuffs and patent leather kicks, we'll say
a great many of them do. Just as u
great many of the follows prefer the
painted dolls and short skirts. Now, it
seems to us that ono might us well be
dead If he Is not In vogue. It Is a
common expression to hear tho girls say,
"V were at n dnnce last night and
met a couple of fellows. Maybe they
aren't nifty dressers' Wear patent
leather shoes, trick suits 'n' everything '"
We have met some very nice young
men, nnd they ure not dance-hull John
nls. ever. !f tney do wear those comical-looking
suits, as you express them.
True, we go to dance halls and do the
snimmy and Jazz ; but "there Is no place
llko home" (and we aree with tho tier-
son who wrote It), If you can't do the
louaio nnu otner modern dances whtn
you frcuueht these places.
"Heddy." we think you must havo
misinterpreted our letter, as we nevir
expressed the wish to get married for
that is a back number in our young
lives. We're only seventeen years old
As for "Pep," we disagree with her
on tho assertion she has made ; that Is,
(hat sho would rather remain an old
maid thnn marry n dunce-hall .Tnhnnv
Thero aro ns ninny respectable fellows
wno go to nance nans as go to church
(Including my four brothers).
As for "Dr J and Mr H ." the less
said tho better, nnd 'Bobble" wo won
der how ho finds it possible to run
around to dances, when we aro sure lhat
various nrms must demand much of
nis tuna to pose ror his collar ads.
"Heddy," with best wishes for a sue
cessful career, we will eonclude.
WTIATWHCSEOTOBR.
If. my dears, you have so little Idea
or TesponsiDinty in life that you ac
tually think you might as well be dead
as noi in Hiyie, lyntnia is very' sorry
for you. Better stop nnd think a while

mar their mutual trust and happiness.
And, manlike, he thought that prim
itive measures would win Miss Mary
bark to him.
He caught her In his nrms true to
caveman tradition nnd pressed
pon ,cr unsuspecting nnd tear-stained
little face n very ardent kls.s
Tor n brief, ecstntlc moment Mary'B
figure relnxed in Dick's nrms nnd her
soft, damp check wns pressed ngninst
his own Mnry closed her eyes
and told herself that this wns heaven !
Then jenlousy thnt most humnn and
pninful of all emotions gripped the
girl like n cold, clutching hand.
She drew nwny from him at once.
"What what do you want? Why
do you follow me here?" She nut a
hnnil up to her hair and freed herself
from Dick s embrace
Her tone of voice was so entirely
distant nnd unlover-llko Dick was
-hilled.
"Mary, my dear, I've been bo mis
ernblo!" Kenl love is generally inar
ticuliite, nnd Dick wns no exception.
"Mnry, I enn't go on like this "
"Like what?" sold Mary coolly, step
ping from the sweet-scented dusk of th
conservatory out Into the lighted room
beyond, "Mr. Calnrdln, what do you
wnnt with me?"
lie fuced her squarely, Mr boyish
face very pale, but his eyes leveled di
lectly on her. Those vivid, honest eyes
could never waver.
"You know what I wnnt, Mnry
you, und nothing else! I haven't
changed "
Mnry bit her lip to hide Its trembling.
"Changed? Ah, no, perhaps not!
You should rather say you've censed
pretending! That's more like tho
truth !"
A Hash of nnger yes, and pain
was glinting in her pretty, smoke-blue
eyes.
"Ceased pretending?" Dick wns be
wildered. "Pretending wlmt?"
The glint remained in Mary's eyes
as she made answer impcrturbahly :
"Pretending that jou ever cared for
me, if you wnnt me to be specific!"
e "Iiut, Mnry" Dick took a step
toward her und held out his hand
"Mnry, 1 have nlwnjs enred!"
"Kubblsh!" rejoined Mary tersely,
.lenlous.v tho cause of deep unhanni-
tiess had her in its grip now, nnd she
was powerless to resist. "Mr. Cal-
i ardin. I may as well tell you here und
now that expressions of liking and
1 and ndmirntion don't mean a thing to
I me! They don't. Indeed! Heeause I
I happen to know that there ls nothing
behind them except the easy wish of a
I a superficial man to llntter a girl who
j has aroused his his fleeting admira
tion." ! Dick stared nt her, astounded. This
i calm, self-possessed damsel, with her
I n-udj How of words she surely was
i not Mnry Drew, the girl he loved and
u anted !
He could not gauge the Jealousy thnt
i-purred poor Mnry on, Ho could not
g. cge the depth of her unhappliiess. lie
could only sec n pretty, soft-lipped girl,
wl.osp appearance belled the cool words
that she uttered a girl who, appnreut
1 , was bent on hurting him.
"Tell me it isn't true thnt you've
promised to mnri) Mr. Hellalrs?" Dick
strode forward and caught her by the
arm.
Ills grip was painful. Hut Mary
didn't lllnch. Nothing in the world
could ever hurt her uuy more, she told
herself.
A demon of perversit) urged her on.
Ot course Dick did not care for her.
Sho could not hurt him In hi love,
for love was non-existent. Hut she
could hurt him in his pride'. She could
show him that he did not count for any
thing in her young life
Wounded vaulty could sting. She
Knew It.
"Why shouldn t I engngc myself to
nny one I chouse V" Her soft lip curled.
"And why should 1 inform you of the
fmt and of my doings'-"
Dick dropped her urm nnd moved a
step uway from her. He wus white to
tho lips now, and the glint In her eyes
was reflected in ills own. Two could
play ut this cruel game
"Do you wtsli deliberately to ignore
nil that has passed between us?" He
Hung tho words nt Mnry, breathlessly.
"Do you wish me to understand that
there Is nothing nothing between you
mid me?"
Mary inclined her head. It gave her
a queer, odd satisfaction to seo the
(whltciicss of Dick's lips.- Oh, he bud
made her suffer cruelly !

Tho Wish Boat
PEGGY, Hilly und Folly Wisher, the
goblin, gazed In wonder nt tho pretty
sailboat which hnd cotoo nt Peggy
wish to save them from the black Am
can savages. Ab for Flower of tho
Eorcst, the girl captive, nnd Youth of
the Lion Henrt, her chocolate -colored
lover, they were amazed at the wnjr
they had been saved from Chief Mighty
Spear.
The sailboat, after picking up the
children, the goblin, the girl and the
youth, headed out Into the broad river.
Ilehlnd nroso a funny farewell chorus:
"A-chewI A-chewl A-chcwI A-chew
It wns the savages sneezing over the
red pepper Peggy hnd thrown Into the
fire, built by Hilly. Peggy still had a
lot of red pepper left In her sack, but
now It appeared she would not have to
use It. for the snllbont wns carrying
them swiftly from the sneezing sav
ngco. Between sneezes the savages shouted
with rage as they saw the sailboat bear
ing away the girl and her chocolntc
colorcd lover. Some of them threw their
spears nt the boat, only to lose the
spears ln the water. Others shot darts,
but these nlso dropped harmlessly Into
the river without rcnchlng the boat.
The pretty craft sped on swiftly find
soon left the snvnges out of sight.
Peggy nnd Billy quickly noticed one
very queer thing about the boat -It
seemed to be sailing Itself. No sailors
I were In sight to steer it nor to trim
'the sails. And yet the boat swept
nround the broad bends so skillfully nnd
held to Its course so- truly they knew
it couldn't be Just drifting nlong.
Suddenly ivhnt looked' like a black
lock roso out of tho river abend. As
they gazed at this rock It opened up,
und they saw it hnd n great red mouth
with huge teeth.
"Jimmcty: wnnis man .u-utu
Foily Wisher laughed. "That is a
-i.f,. Iini-co ho nnswered. Hut Peggy
remembered huvlng seen n mouth like
thnt before. ,, ,
win- it lu n blnnonotamus," she
cried, stumbling n bit over tho big
word. ... . .
"To be sure It is. Hippopotamus is
just the Greek way of saying river
horse." laughed Polly Wisher.
They were headed straigni io; - mc
hippopotamus. Tho pretty sailboat
might bo wrecked by crashing into t.
Billy snw the dnnger nnd leaped for the
tiller to steer the sailboat away. As
Billy laid his band on the tiller n
ifonn ililnw linimened he was puslicd
bnckwnrd nnd sent bumbling head over
heels. At the same time the tiuer m
shnrnlv. and the boat slid safely by the
huge river horse.
Billy wns vexed ns he picked nimseii
up. "Who pushed me?" he demanded.
Folly Wisher laughed.
"The steersman pushed you, he snld.
"Don't you know better thnn to touch
the tiller of n boat when n sailor Is
in charge of it? Thnt Is as bad ns
grnbhlng the wheel on nn nutpmomie
when some ono else Is steering.
"I didn't see nny stecrsmnn, de
clared Billy, going back to the tiller.
"This bont is steering Itself." Again
Billy laid his hnnd on the tiller, nnd
ngain he wns given n push thnt sent
him tumbling on the deck.
"Ho, ho, ho! Didn't T tell you
to keep away from that tiller?" laughed
Folly Wisher. "The invisible snilors
who are sailing this boat don't like to
hnve persons bother them."
Billv and Peggy were astonished to
hear Folly Wisher spenk of Invisible
"Oh, I'd like to see the Invisible
sailors." cried Peggy.
