I to-day, l>ecause no woman, no matter how conscientiously she tries to do her duty, can successfully bring up children alone. They need a father las well as a mother. They need a .man's strong restraining hand just as jmuch as they need a woman's tender touch. The very qualities that are the es-, Isence of motherhood—blind devotion J ito her young, limitless patience, and i 1 iorgiveness, an absolute inability to 1 I see her own as they really are, unfit a! woman to deal with the haltWgrown i boy or girl who needs justice as well I as niercj. and to be controlled as well! as to be indulged. The average mother lacks the cour age to deny her children anything j that she can possibly give them. She j lacks the force to make them do any- J thing they do not want to do. and she can no more hold them to doing a hard duty than she could nail them to I the cross. Yet. knowing all of these things, 1 men calmly step aside and let their] wives settle the fate of their children, and it would be an interesting and an! appalling thing to know how much I fatherlessness is responsible for thej wrecked lives we see about us. How many a derelict might say: "I lay my failure at niv father's door. 11 had a silly mother who named me \ Algernon Montmorency, instead of Tom or Bill, who dressed me up andl made a sissy of me. who taught me' to despise honest work and be a dab-: bier in what she considered an ele-} sani profession. She sapped the man-j hood that might have been in me, and ! 1 became a loafer and a spender in-, stead of a worker. If my father had! done his duty by me and shaped my' life, instead of leaving It to my fool ' ish mother, I would have been a suc ' cessful man to-day." How many a girl who makes a • wreck of her life could say: "I am ' what 1 am because 1 had no father except the llgure of one who was ; nothing but a cash register in our, I house. 1 had a vain, weak mother iwho taught me to think of nothing! i but dress and fashion and to get what ! 1 wanted, no matter how 1 got It. She made me selfish and vain and heart | less, so that 1 have been a blight on every life that 1 have touched. Yet i if my father had ever tried, he could I have awakened the good that Is in me. I | and saved me from the curse that is on me." j Perhaps every father has moments ; when he realizes his responsiblity to his children, and he intends, when the I critical moment comes, to guide them I safely by the dangerous place in their roads, but the difficulty is that father | hood is not a crown that you can tako off and put on at pleasure. Besides, how are you to influence la person of whose mental processes i you are ignorant, whose hopes, and j thoughts, and desires are a sealed j volume to you? And you can't get ) acquainted with your children after j they are grown. You have to do that I when they are babies. The greatest need In America to -1 day is for fathers, real fathers who will be companions and chums, and | guide, counselor and friend to their j children, and it is cheering to hear that this long felt want is being supplied. :rfid that all over the j country Fathers' Clubs are being 'formed as well as Mothers' Clubs.

Haiuu The bullets from the automatic! missing one mark were certain to And another, perhaps four or Ave in a row, such was their velocity and power of penetration. Where shells made gaps and tore holes in the human mass, the automatics cut wiUi the regularity of the driven teeth of a comb. The men who escaped all the forms of slaughter and staggered on to the ruins of the redoubt, pressed their weight on top of those in the craters or hugged be hind the pyramids of debris, and even made breastworks from the bodies of the dead. The more that banked up, the more fruitless the efforts of the of ficers to restore order in the frantic medley of shell screams and explosions at a time when a minute seemed an age. Meanwhile, between them —this banked-up force at the charge's end — and the Brown redoubt T*th its auto matics, the Gray gunners were making a zone of shell bursts in order to give the soldiers time to make their hold of the ground they had gained secure. Through this zone Str&naky and his men were to laad the Browns in a counter-attack. At the very height of the Gray charge, when all tho reserves were in, dark objects fell out of the heavens, and where they dropped earth and flesh were mingled in the maceration. Like some giant reptile with its ver tebrae breaking, gouged and torn and pinioned, the charge stopped. In writh ing, throbbing confusion. Those on the outer circle of explosions were thrown against their fellows, who surged back in another direction from an explosion in tha opposite quarter. From the rear the pressure weakened; the human hammer was no longer driv ing the ram. Blinded by the lightnings and dust, dizzy from concussions ami noise, too blank of miud to be sane or insane, the atoms of the bulk of the charge in natural Jpstinct turned from their goal and toward the place whence they had come, with death from al! sides still buffeting them. Stusgering ly, at first, they wont, for want of in itative in their paralysis; then rapidly, as the law of self-preservation asserted itself in wild impulse. As sheep driven OTer a precipice they had advanced; as men they fled. There was no longer any command, no longer any cohesion, except of legs struggling in and out over the uneven footing of dead and wounded, while they felt another pressure, that of the mass of the Browns in pursuit. Of all j these of Fracasse's company whom we know, only the Judge's son and j Jacob Pilzer were alive. Stained with j blood and dust, hie teeth showing in a grimace of mocking hate of all hu mankind, Pilzer's savagery ran free of the restraint of discipline ajid civilized convention. Striking right and left, he forced his way out of the region of ' shell fire and still kept on. Clubbing hie rifle, he struck down one who tried to detain him; but another officer, quicker than he, put a revolver bullet through his head. • ••••• • Westerling. who had buried his face in his hands in Marta's presence at the thought of failure, must keep the pose of his position before the stafT. j With chin drawn 'in and shoulders squared in a sort of petrified military habit, he received the feverish news that grew worse with each brief bulle- I ; tia. He, the cWef of stafT; he, Hefl worth Westerling, the superman, must be a rock in the flood of alarqj. When he heard that his human ram was in recoil he declared that the repulse had I been exaggerated—repulses alwayj [ were. With word that a heavy counter ; attack was turning the retreat into an 1 ungovernable rout, he broke Into a stQrm. He was not beaten; he could not be beaten. "Let our gains cut a few swaths In the mob!" he cried. "That will Btopj them from running and bring them back to a sense of duty to their coun -1 try." The Irritating titter of the bell in ! the closet off the library only increased j his defiance of fec?3 beyond control. I He went to the lor? d istance with a | reply to the premier s inquiry ready to i hla lips. "We got into the enemy's works but had to fall back trn;;iorarlly," he said. "Temporarily! What do you mean?" demanded the prerr.^-r. "I mean that we have only begun to attack!" declared Westerling. He liked that sentence. It souhdod like the shibboleth of a rreat leader in a crisis. "I 6hall assault again to-morrow night" "Then your losses were not heavy?" "No, not relatively. To morrow night w-e press home the advantage we gained to-night." "But you have been so confident each time. You still think that —" "That I mean to win! There is no stopping half-way." "Well, I'll still try to hold the situa tion here," replied the premier.

Madame Ise'bell Opens Her Letter Box and Talks of Untidy Hair and thq Unfortunate Habit of Growing Old A correspondent write* me that »he la ta dlspalr about her hatr. It will only grow a few inches long about the neck, and there is no way she can pin it up so Is a great cross and sometimes one that has to be made the best of. There are some cases where the hair roots become so weak that massage, the best hair t'onlcs, Improved habits of living are all powerless to p»o --duce a healthy growth of hair. In such a case it is best to adopt some artificial means of keeping the hair tidy. Try a Transformation. Tf the hair is thin and disinclined to curl a hair net Is rarely a success, for It flattens the hair and makes It appear even thinner than It Is. A transforma tion of naturally curly or "baked" hAir is K great comfort as well as a great lm- to the appearance. This Is l«nned about the head close to the hair line and thrown hack with the natural hair over it. Having eomn support, it is easy to attach to this the short locks which should be curled by rolling on soft kids the ntight before. A plentiful supply of tiny invisible halrpias may be neres aary. Am I Too old 7 A common query that comes from my mall box is "Am I too old for such a thing?" I wish women could get away from this barrier of age which Is far from being an Arbitrary one. A manner of dress that Is becoming to a woman Is suitable at the same Mm*. 4 However, to look young Is not always to look one's beat. A frtend came Into my study one morning with one of these new turban hats. It made her, a matron of some forty years, look curlmisly, amus ingly youthful, but at the same time she was doubtful about It and wanted my opinion. After a little study my opinion was that the hat. while giving a youthful look to her face, coarsened It; It failed to bring out the best In her. She agreed with me and the hat was discarded, as X discovered later, much to her husband's Joy. With a man's Intuition on the subject of his wife's dr*ss, he fel: that there was something wrong, while at the same trie b« was too Ignorant on the subject to define It. We must study our type. Don't count the years, but look out for changes tn the contour of the face and the tint of tha skin: It Is that which should govern our choice of clothes. Women Should Simulate Youthful Emotion*. We continually see on the stage exam ples of men ami women long paat youth simulating youthful emotions, playing and portraying youthful parts. This Is not en tirely due to the Illusion of the footlights, for It Is a well known fact that men nnd women eminent 1n the theatrical profes sion seem to hare a peculiar resistance against what might be called tha natural encroachment of time, and that In private life also they generally appear much' younger ths« tbey are. At first glance acting would no* be supposed to be a healthful profession. It Involves h»te hours, many of them spent te an overheated; crowded building, a great deal of traveling and consequent tr- Wfularity of meals. If, la spite of OMN Y. Reed, Miss Katio Reed.

Martin Reathbnrt, drawbacks, men and women of the stage retain their health and youthful ap pearance the cause must lie In the kind of work they do. I think the si -et Is In the fart that for a certain number of hours each day they must be at their very best; If they are simulating a youthful part, the walk, the voice, the movement and above all, the thought lying back of all these must be youthful. . "Play Well Your Part." Acting Is a kind of work that allows no concessions to one's private aches, pains or troubles. The actor 1s there to please his audience and he Is on 14s met tle to visualize before them the role he Is playing. It may be one with which he Is not In sympathy, but It gets him out of himself, and the elasticity of mind and body called on by this operation Is an excellent corrective to old age. With women the effect of playing youthful roles is even more stimulating. A certain lethargy of mind and body seems a common accompaniment of mid dle age. Intelligent women, If they rec ognize this feeling, make an effort against It. but what effort could be so effective as the absolute sinking of one's own feelings and personality in the role of a youthful, live, attractive woman. Seek the Companionship of Youth. Admitting the rejuvenating effect of youthful emotions every woman can profit from this fact. You will notice that wo men who make real compa-nlons of their children keep much younger than do those who live only with their contemporaries. Boys are particularly proud of a youthful appearing mother, and I have known wo men who would expend as much coquetry to please a school boy son as she would have given to the capture of an admirer of her youth. Let us get away from the age claim; Keep thought young, alert, ever-growing and the body can only respond. Unfortunate Turning Line*. Mrs. R. V. S. sends me an unretoucbod proof of herself and asks me what can be done for the lines that are forming In her face. I see no bod tines In this face save those caused by the habit of frowning. Mrs. R. V. S. has also very untidy eye brows which add to the rather disturbed appearance of her tipper face. A placid, unllned brow with well marked, smooth eyebrows- Is one of the uiost attractive features of a woman's face. To begin wtth the eyebrows; an eye brow brush Is an Important adjunct to any dressing table. The eyebrows need brushing Just as much as the heir does and for this purpose comes a brush much like a baby's tooth brush. In fact, a small toothbrush will do very well for this purpose. IJse this daily, brushing the hairs first up and then across, so 'hey He together and follow the arch. If necessary use a little vaseline, espe cially If you wish to darken them and Increase their growth. Occasionally a stiff, unruly hair will ap pear In the eyebrows and this can b« re moved with a pair of tweerers, talcing corn to hold the tweezers in the name plant In which the hair grows, so It may be pulled entirely from the hair root and not merely broken away. Pulled out In this way the halT la leas apt to grow again. I have known frowning line# to be come so deep that they ooulfl not be re moved by the ordinary methods of mw aage. In such a case there Is no abso lute cure eave a surgical operation which consists of maktng'a little silt at the hair line and taking up a little fold of the skin. This operation, if properly done, will smooth out the lines, but. If the old habit* of frowning return, the skin will again form Into these unsightly lines. We will assume Is this case that the Hues have not become permanent ud Erwln 10. Robinson. Jackson Rothermel, Q. La. Runkel, C. 11. Schwartz, Max Sil ver, J. IV Snodderly. Ulnn Stoner, J. K.

There are two move ments for frowning lines and they should both be practiced morning and night, thoroughly cleansing the skin first and using a generous amount of skin food or massagp cream on the fingers. Ex. I—Place the four fingers of both hands lightly on the forehead, parallel and with the backs of the fingers to wards each other half an inch apart. Now move the two hands up and down alternately, covering the forehead and the hands little by little until the hair line has been reached. Plnlßh with a little upward movement. j Do this perhaps a dozen times, moving over the skin very lightly and then change to Ex. 2—Moisten the four fingers again in the massage cream and with one hand above the other gently iron o Blackheads In so you«.~ a person come from Improper washing of the face and ahould be easily cured. If allowed to con tinue, the skin pores may become perma nently enlarged and lose their power oif contraction. Wash the face at night with green noap fairly hot water ar.d a flesh brueh. What Is commercially known as green soap hi simply a soft, unripe soap and Its color Is a yellowish brown. lis sure that the flesh brush Is thoroughly clean; It shoulfi be rinsed in boiling water dally and drlef' In the sun. After the face Is thoroughly washed, rinse with fairly warm water and cover the affected parts with a gooC blackhead cream and leave this on over night to thoroughly soften the skin. In the morning remove any blackheads closo to the srirfaoe, but only operate on those tbat can be removed ea-Wly without tear ing or Irritating the skin. This mesy bo dene by pressing the akin between tho fingers (tajce care that the fingers am perfectly clean! or a blackhead extractor that can be bought at most drug storeo for a few cents may be used. Do not try to remove too ma.iy at a Ime and be gentle during this operation. If the skin is torn it may lose its elasticity aafl the pores will remain open. Now rinse the face with very cold wa ter and follow this by bathing with wttch hazel, the object of this being to rkyw> the pores and promote the elasticity of the skin. Repeat this operation every other night, unless the skin becomes Irri tated, In which case omit the green soap treatment, although the cream may be continued. Under this treatment the blackheads should slowly disappear and tf properly carried out. there Wiould be nb danger of their reappearing. In the case of older women I reran*-" 1 mend as well facial massage to quickest the life and circulation of the skin. V* 5
