not real judgment. hever, but merely
fear of public opinion.
An nmusinc nnecilote illustrates how
loTe defies rule laid down in advance.
A rrnmnn declared there were three
kinds of men, so to speak, whom she.
never would wed under any circum
stances, even if she died nn old maid.
Never would she marry a doctor, and
never would she marry n man named
Smith, and never would she mnrry a
red-haired man. Outside of that, she
had no prejudices.
Cupid got busy. In the course of
time, behold her. married t a red
headed man. named Dr. Smith !
One may theorize forever, yet I.ove
has a way'of running 'things, and over
taming all preconceived rules. Sour1
one may Insist to you that the ideal
mating is of two young folks in their
early twenties Examples are shown.
Here are Sir Tom Smith nnd hi wife
Marjorie. Thev married when hf was
twentv-four and she was twenty and
have had the young joys and fresh ex
sats something like this: .lust con
sider that while I nm attractive nnd
young at thirty, nnd our ages do not
seem different when you fire thirty, I
will be forty ; and when you nre forty
I will be fifty and Imagine how plain
nnd old I will seem then to a man just
in his prime."
AVc frown on the wedding of a
woman with n man ten years her ju
nior, for we see in the future her tragic
struggle to seem young. She cannot
grow old gracefully and normally, along
with her contemporaries, but must use
every art nnd artifice to stavo off cruel
time. IJut the saddest is not the
necessity of wrinkle-removers and fnce
massnge, nnd dyed hair and softened
lights; it is the psychological effect on
herself. She depreciates herself. She
tries to stifle her maternal attitude to
ward him. She wntihos all youth
jenlouslj , feeling in every joung girl
a deadly rival.
And yet in spite of all thee truths.

Don't bo broken-hearted nbout this
trouble of yours. It la hard for you, of
course, but remember that things llko
that niways seem worse to tho person
who has them than to those who look on
from tho outside. Try blenching tho
hair with neroxldo to which a few drops
of nmmonfn hnvc been added This will
discourage, the growth, although It may
not remove the hair entirely. Havo you

I nm suro you enn got relief from this
nnnoynnce by mentis of ono of theso oi '

pnlntully conscious of this you will call
attention to It, but If you Just try to
forget all nbout It, and be Just ns happy
and pretty ns you can In spite of It, you
will mako people overlook It entirely.
Try to do this, don't let your life bo

Dear Mndam I am very anxious to

I wish you could give me n few hints as
to what kind of writings, not Including
fiction, nre. most In demand and nlso
whero to sell them. I. A. W.
Have you tried any of the magazines?
Wrlto nn article, on some current events,
travel, or something1 that you know will
have nn appeal, nnd send It oIT to tho
first mngnzlno you happen to think of.
if it comes back send It to somo one
else, nnd keep on sending It around until
somo ono takes It. If vou know any
thing nbout cooking, sewing, something
new In housekeeping or women's Inter
ests send It to one of tho women's
magazines. Syndicates take a series
of nrtlcles of this kind nnd sell them
to pnpera or magazines, nnd If you
write several you might try that, but
In tho menntlmo keep going tho rounds
of the magazines until you are suc
cessful I hope that will be very soon.
About Going on the Stage
To the liilltor o Woman' I'aatl
Dear Madam Now I fio not mean to
be conceited, but I nm only wilting
and telling you what my friends have
told me.
I sing a great deal and my friends
nil say my voice is woncicrtui. u nas
never been trained nnd I can reach very
high. In fact, I can sing much better
high thnn I can sing low.
My friends nil say I am cut out for
the stage an I possess personality and
wit and nlso havo a good figure.
What Is a cood way to test my abili
ties? At what nge should I havo my
voice trained? To what certain ago can
a girl be trained to toe-danco?
I blush very easily and when I talk to
a fellow I get OB red as a beet. Please
tell mo how to overcomo such nn em
barrassing position. D. D. D.
You would have to havo your voice
trained beforo you could attempt stage
work, but you might go to a theatrical
manager and nsk him whether he con
siders It worth whllo to take the training

eight and ten hate their voices placed

begin nt any time with a good teacher,

WHAT'S WHAT
nr nni.CN nncn:
WHY what kind of a married life
will this be If she Is Just getting
acquainted with her husband nil the
time?
I'pon what do they b'rse Iheir love if
they hnvc no understanding of each
otlier?
So many girls go into marriage in
tin's hit-ir-mls fiMiion, nfter only n
short friendship, with no rcil knowl
edge ir understanding of tho men they
nre planning to mnrry.
They evidently think no further ahead
Ihnn the wedding day. nnd if n man Is
fond of them, comes to see (hem twice
or three times a week, or writes once a
week if lie lives in another place, that
is enough for them.
