and how many turn to other loves?
If they do this, are they wholly -to
blame, or Is it the wife's fault, for hav
ing been too good a mother, and too
poor a wife?
,An Englishman was talking to mn
recently. He remarked' quite casually,
as If it were a common experience,
"My wife and I seldom see each other.
I have been in America three years.
She stays in England. Our children
took up nil her time, anyway, and she
had no attentions to give mo, and so. 1
did not suggest her coming to America
when my business brought me here."
They were on perfectly good terms:
It was not n case of quarreling nnd
agreeing to separate. It simply was
that, after her children enme, she was
content to be a mother only.
"How lonely!" we exclaimed. "Is
toot it a mistake?"
'Oh, it is cry common in Eng
and at odd moments chats with him, at
minium. Hut she has tuat worried
It ok, is always abstracted. Her heart
and mind nro with the liable. No
longer is fcl:c the brlsht companion or
the solicitous consoler and entertainer.
Undoubtedly there arc thousands of
ciisck where she docs not mean nei?lcct,
where the trials of illness nnd petty
annoyances render a wife weary and
rnd, and II Is n tragedy tc her to see
her husband drifting into other com
pany, and forfcttlns the days of care
free companionship. And, too, then
are thousands of other cases m which
a husband Is i-o niiselllsh nnd consider
ntc that he puts nide his own demand",
nnd realizes that, with the coming of a
fnipily, he must sacrifice many scllMi
pleasures for the larser social sen Ice
of giving fine children to the ciinniuiil
tv. Many domestic men derive such
delight In watching their offoprlng
grow, and feeling pride in their de
velopment, that they would censider it
stupid and exacting to demand from
the mother all that old coquetry nnd
pretty dressing and outside going
about which characterized their curly
married life.
Some men arc that way. Hut, after
nil, most men are not saints, but nre
human, and still long for the romance
nnd nffcotlcn and counties attention
of a wife. Feeing no reason for her to
become lot In the mother. If she de
votes undue time to the children, he
may not net resentful, y. but just gradu
ally slip into Iinbits of stnylng away
from home, nnd finally succumb to soiuo
temptation, and become Involved with

their families at first, but the heat is

schooling, nnd so the wives drift back
to London, and the men stay out there
alone in the intense, hot weather, and
amuse themselves as best they can.
Englishwomen are very cold, anyway,
and can get along without love and
marriage 1"
Now we do not believe that this con
dition is universal, for many of the
Englishwomen stick by their husbands
for years, in the tropical coiintr . Nor
do we credit his statement that Anglo-

It is hard to strike the perfect bal

for husband, but rlace it ubovo that of
child. They are better vhcs than
mothers. Which nre you?

of love
But : The great lovers of the world
among women usually have been child -leas!
It may be regarded as selfish or
reprehensible, but it is true. The
sirens, the Circes, the iutoxlrating
creatures for whom men wrecked their
lives nnd fortunes, lost battles ami
threw away kinzdoms. almost always
were women who kept themselves benu- I I went to see a gill I know yester

Uf course, there are thousands oi men she does get so soiled, nnd I like to

Never Mind the Family
Dear Cynth'n Now the thing Is this
Miss C Is the only girl 1 wish u
mnrrv. She Is stout, but not too stout,
either. I do not know how her mouth Is
made, but It Is th prettiest I ever saw
In my life. She U always laughing, for
she has an Infinite deal of wit.
Now ou must understand that Miss
C Is what ou would call homely
looking, but how enn sho help that,
you know .' And yet my family Is so
unreasonable as to bo nlwayB tensing
me about her looks, but I am sure sh
has that which Is better than looks, for
sho Is good-natured, ingenious nnd mod
est. But ever) body I nsk advice from
Is her enemy. I desire, therefore, you
will give me your ndvico, and If you
ndvlsc me well I am resolved to follow
It. W. A. It.
If you really love Mlhs C well
enouBh to marry her and sho Is willing,
just let tho family understand that yoj
nre golnu to make her your wife. Whrn
they know you aro In carneut they will

WITH the children back In school,
tho housowlfo must now plan her
menus so that she will havo abundant
nutritious luncheons for tho children,
and, if she can, urge those who go to
business to tnke a home-packed lunch
con, If not for the entire week, then
at lenst for two or three days. This
can only be done when there is n study
of market conditions and needs of the
family. Do not forget their llttlo likes
and dislikes for certain foods.
From now on the weather will grad
ually become cooler nnd then the pru
dent housowlfo will find Hint she can
save money by selecting sufficient meat
to Inst nt least until Tuesday evening
and then plan to have two meatless days
with fish Friday.
The habit of purchasing from meal
to meal Is wasteful, and does not give
the family tho- right balance that comes
from mcnls that ore closely dovetailed
to carry the proportionate dements of
nutrition. ,
Sometimes a housewife through lack
of knowledge, or because sho hates to
dress nnd go early to market, depends
upon the telephono to do her buying.
This Is n serious mistokc. Take the
time, to do vour own marketing person
ally. It is the most vital Item of your
existence, for just how well balanced
nnd cooked is the dally food you cat.
just so are you ph ideally fit to do your
work.
This week we will nlnn to use a six
nnd one-hnlf to seven-pound pinbonc
roast, or if your butcher does not mnkc
this cut, use n bolnr cut. From n pln-
dniin rnnsl Imvo the butcher cut the
steak to be used on Snturdny night for
broiling. If you nro buying the bolnr
cut have the butcher cut It about one
inch thick nnd cook as Swiss steak. In
planning the menu I will give the recipes
for this steak.

Be a Brick Not a Gold Brick
DEEP down In our hearts every one of us is more or less n iiero worshiper.
We may not exhibit it in the extreme; we may even refuse to acknowledge
it; but nevertheless, our heart goes out to the mnn who has done big things, who
has overcome handicaps, who has risen above the mass and climbed to the pin
nacle wc dream of.
And every man of exceptional ability nnd attainment is Hooded with requests
for advice from enthusiasts who ache to know how he did it, how he got there,
what bis plans were, wh'nt their own chnnces nre, and all the other questions that

Success has Its privileges ; but it nli-o ontoils its obligations, and one of them,
and that by no menus the least important, is that a man display the magnanimity
and generosity not to pull the ludder up nfjter him, hut leave the door open nfter
ho has crossed the threshold of achievement. Any other course is treachery to
trust,
jLargc-hciirtedncss costs n mnn nothing nnd it pays big dividends In the pleas
Bro of making others happy and helping them to realize their hopes and ambi
tions. There arc few to sympathize with n man's Inevitable sorrows nnd disappoint
ments if he docs not share Ills joys nnd successes. And It redounds to his ever
lnstlng honor that he held out a lifting hiind to those below, and shed light on
the dark and shadowy path lending to the heights he's reached.
There's lots of room at tho top for all of us It's only common decency nnd
humanity to srnttcr smiles and "tips" and revel lu the good done and the oppor

A Boy Reader Writes
To the Ed'tar o the ll'ummi' Page:
Dear Madam It might bo strange
that I write for help to the' Woman's
nxchnmtn because I am a boy sixteen
yearn old. Nevertheless Hlnco you help
out so many I thought I'd ask you to
help me, too.
As I said I am a sixteen-year-old
boy, I would llko to know what I enn
do to rnako my hair straight and shiny,
because my hnlr. after It In made wet
and combed, takes on such a dry color
and does not stick the way It Is combed.
It falls apart and somotlmea It becomes
tnngled up.
Also what can I do to mv fiico. n It
becomes ollv and shiny after I wash It?
I use nowder. but I do not ll!t It. n I
would rather h.ivo my faco look nat
ural, I use vasellno for mv hair to mnko It
stick, but It does not havo a good effect
on my hair ns it curia up. Do not mis
lake my nnr for belnir wavy ns It Is

Wo are nlwnys glad to welcome a
rnnscullno reader to tho column, and Ir
I can help him so much tho better. If
)ou wnsiivii your hair less often It would
not be bo very dry. nmf perhnps .thin
would keep It In nlnco better. Instead
pr using the vaseline on your hnlr, rub
It Into your Scnln. In mnko It nilv It
you havo It cut either a little shorter
or uiiow- h io grow a llttlo om?er you
wouiu ,mve better luck In keeping It
down. There Is n certnln medium
length that is very unruly, especially
when the hair Is dry and straluht: but
If you wear It longer you can plaster It
down better, nnd If It Is shorter It will
not lly about so. Ilrllllnntlne might bs
bettor than vaseline to keep It sticking
together neatly.
CHAPTER V
Tho Combat
"PRINCESS JANET is the fairest
J- princess in tho world!" shouted
the Bold Knight, beating with bis spenr
upon his shield.
The toys at the Toyville ball gath
ered around in great excitement. "A
joust! A joust!" they cried. "Fight
a joust like the knights of old! And
the lady fair of him who wins we shall
hall ns the fairest princess in all the
world!"
Janet was thrilled. It wns like u
story book to be a princess nnd to have
n Bold Knight battling to prove her
the fairest princess in nil the world.
"(Jive mo a ribbons as a token, fnir
Princess Janet," cried the Bold
Kulglit, stopping in front of Janet ns
she sat In state upon the buck of her
elephant. Juliet had a white ribbon iu
her hair. She gave this to the Bold
Knight and lie fastened it iu his armor.
Piinccss Bclln gave tho Black Knight
n pink ribbon, which ho wore ns proud
ly ns the Bold Knight wore the white.
The Bold Knight mid the Black
Knight faced each other on opposite
sides of the lawn.
"One! Two! Three! Go!" shouted
Mr. Pieman.
"Hi!" jelled the two knights, and
their horses sprang forward. Each
knight held his spear aimed nt the
other. Each leaned forward.
Crash! The spears st-uck! But
Instead of striking tho armored hreats
nt which they were iilmcd, they lilt
the protecting shields which each knight
held.
The shock nlmost threw tho knights
ffom their horses, but they turned back
n ml enmu at encli other again. Crash !
Once more tho spears struck on the
shields. The knights wheeled about and,
crash ! a third time they came together.
Then n fourth time tliev tilted nt
ench other. But now the Bold Knight
tried u trick. lie shifted his spenr
.lust before lie c.imc to the Black
Knight, und iiistcid of striking him on
the shield struck him on the shoulder.
Crash! The sharp spear pierced the
Black Knight's armor nt tho joint and
to Janet's startled horror cut the Black
Knight's nrm right oil'.
"Yield je now? Princess Janet Is
the fairest of nil princesses!" shouted
the Bold Knight.
But the Black Knight did not yield.
Ho whirled ids horse nhout. and lean
ing ocr like ii cowboy, picked up his
cut-off nrm. He curried it to Princess
Bella, (.luick as u Hush Princes Bella
Msse 1 the arm and stuck it back on the
Black Knight's shoulder. There it
stayed as good as ever.
Th Black Knight rushed buck nt the
Bold Knight, taking lilin by surprise.
Ills snear caught under thu Bold
Knight's chin and carried his hend
clean off. Janet gnsped with dismay.
All seemed over with the Bold Knight.
But tlm Bold Knight whirled about,
picked up his head nnd brought it to
Janet. she wns surprised, but did what
she lind sen Princess Bella do she
kissed the hend and put it buck on the
Buhl Knights shoulders. 'Lhen the
Bold Kn.ght was nil right ngnin, nnd he
showed It by dashing fiercely at the
Black Knight, piercing his shield and
his nrmor, and hurling him to the
ground with his spenr,
"Princess. Janet is the fnlrest
piincess in the world," shouted thu
Bold Knight.
"Piincess Jnnet is the fnlrcit prin
cess in the world," feebly replied the

Theodora Caldwell has become en
gaged to Jimmy liland and to her
surprise Is not happy about it. Hhc
tells her employer, Itichard Makes
lee, that she is leaving to be mar
ried, and he refuses to let her go.
They have a battle of words andThco
apparently wins out, but then tho
unexpected happens, and Ulakcslcc
kiduapi her and carries her off on An
private yacht, not because he it in
terested in her as a woman, but be
cause he nerds her services on a busi
ness trip. What happens then is in
tcrciting, for Jilakcslce sees Theo for
the first time as a tension fnsfend of
mi oificd tiinciliir, and when she re
fuses to do any work ho is at a loss
to know what to do. A storm comet
up.
CHAPTER XVII
Just a Woman
SEEMED nges that Theo clung to
io rail waiting for tho next wave
to break over her. but In reality it was
no more thnn a few seconds. Then she
felt strong nrms nround her nnd a voice
hissed in tier car:
"You littlo fool, you mad little
fool!"
She felt herself lifted up and carried
to the safety of the conipnnionwny,
and once out of danger she begun to
struggle to be put down. Fury rnged in
her. How dared Richard Blnkcslee
speak to her like that! How dared he!
"Put mc down. I'm nil right. I can
look out for myself-!" she stormed, con
scious even then that her voice could
not be heard against the fury of the
storm, nnd thnt her struggles were un
availing against the grip of those arms
nround her.
Blnkcslee did not put her down until
they reached the brightly lighted salon
and Theo faced him with flnming cheeks
and jingry eyes. 'Water dripped from
her hair and rnn in little rivulets down
her raincoat to the rug on which she
stood.
"Well," he remarked imperturh
ably," a moment more nnd jou would
have been overboard." ,He lighted n
cignr us though nothing lind happened
of any consequence, and yet n moment
before, although his words lind not been
nny too well chosen, his voice had been
tilled with nnxiety. V
"Here, you'd better get those wet
tilings off, nnd hnve n'hot drink. "He
came over to her and begun to unbutton
her raincoat, but she jerked away from
him childishly.
"Don't touch mc."
He intighcd.
"What a child it is," he said lightly,
"a most frightfully spoiled, contrary
ihlld. I suppose jou'ro not even grate
ful to mo for saving your life."
"'ou called mc u fool," gnped
Theo. "Yon luue no right to tnlk to
me like thnt. You're unspenknblc."
He threw back his hend nnd lnughed
ns sue raged at hiii., und Theo, con
scious thnt tier oppearaiei was any
thing but romantic, almost screamed u
slie stood there shivetlng in her wet
things. With n sudden llttlo movement
she slipped out of her lnlncoat. It fell
to the floor with a swishing sound,
nnd without stopping to pick it up she
turned nnd made for her cabin.
Mrs. Brcen found her there n few
moments Inter, her green eyes snapping
angrily, and her tnlty-coloied hnlr in
wild confusion nbout her.
"You poor child." she cronm.,1
"here, Mr. Blnkcslee sent this to jou.
He wants you to drink It immediately."
Theo pushed the gluss away.
"I don't want it, 1 never touch any
thing." "But this Is different, you really
ought to take it. Miss Culdwell ; come
now, be n good child, it will make you
feel so much better."
Theo took the c ass and drunk Mm
! contents shuddering))-, but the next
moment n warm glow ran through fctr
and sho felt much better. When Mrs.
Brecn had helped her out of her clothes
and Then lind had a hot bath, she felt
her old self again, but she sent a mei-'
suge to Mr. Blnkcslee to the effect that
she would not take dinner with him
that evening.
Even though this gave her a sense
of triumph, it made her angry again
for she did not relish n long evening
alone iu her stateroom with the vfai
howling outside nnd the yncht pitching'
nnd tossing like n paper boat in the grip
of the storjn. For the first time the
began to wotuler if there were nnjr
dnngcr and as the moments passed anil
the fury ot the storm did not abate,
Theo felt ns though she could not bear
it iilonc in her cnbin another minute.
