"It fills mo with terror to think of what my fate would be if I were call ed on to support myself," such a wo man will say desperately to you. "I < never made a dollar in my life. I i don't know anything by which I- could make one. I am too old to learn ] stenography or clerking or office work, i Besides, men want only bright, quicks young girls around them. "it's hard enough for a middle aged man to get a job. It's impos- i sible for a middle-aged woman, and one who has never worked out of 1 her home before. There would be i nothing that I could do if my hus- i band were to die but to be depen- < dent on somebody who wouldn't I want me. I'd have to go and live ] •with my children, and their husbands Rnd wives would feel like mattyrs be- i cause mother was saddled on them to ! he supported, and I'd rather die than i do it." i This is all too sadly true. Of all l pathetic creatures on earth, none is t BO helpless and so pitiful as the i middle-aged woman who has always 1 lived In her own home and who is I suddenly flung out from it into the i great struggle of commercialism. She 1 is like a soldier who must fight for his life and who has no weapon with ( which to defend himself.

There Willi none is so great as enforced depen dence. The sweetest bread is bit-1 Worry And if shrfdoes, she need never fear | ter on our lips if it is given us in | charity. No matter how near to us. i we come to hate the hand that doles out alms to us. Even the tie between I mother and child is not tender enough j to stand the strain of this relationship i without galling and chafing. No women are more unhappy than \ those who are pensioners in their children's homes; who are unwant ed by their "in-laws"; who are I looked upon as incumbrances by their I grandchildren, and who feel them selves in the way at every turn; and the wonder is that any woman would ever voluntarily put herself In such a position. "But how can I help It?" asks the woman who sees this late staring her In the face. "I can't leave my hus band and my home and my little chil dren to go out and study some profes sion. I wouldn't know what to study, for I've no especial talent. I'm a pretty good cook and housekeeper and seamstress and nurse, but that's all. I could never be an actress or write a i book, or even be a good stenographer. I'm just a domestic woman and that's all." And that's enough. There's no bet ter tra'de than domesticity. There's no better paying profession than do-| mesticity. But in order to get money! out of it you've got to take it out of j the amateur class and put it in the professional class. ] If every housewife would make as , much of a study of housekeeping as j ] she would have to make of acting or 1 1 singing or writing or medicine or law. j if she made a living by doing any ofn these things, she would not only do 1 the best possible thing for the sake i oi her own family as she went along, j i but if she were suddenly thrown on | i her own resources to support herself.! i she would have a lucrative trade at | ( her fingers' ends. j) There is a never-ending demand forh good cooks, for good things to eat. 11 for well-kept boarding houses, and l any intelligent woman can tit herself < to supply this need if she will. 1 If She's a Good Cook She Never Need I Ibe thousands of people clamoring for] her services and willing to pay for them. I The woman in her own home, who j knows that her husband will have no I money to leave her when he dies, is worse than foolish If she doesn't fit herself for a self-supporting career by studying some domestic art so that she is an expert in it. No one has a better chance than she to learn by actual experience how to market so as to get the last fraction of value out of a penny; no one has a better op portunity to learn the scientific man agement of a house; no one has a bet- I ter chance to acquire all the subtle arts of cookery. And the woman who possesses these has a way of making a living that makes the stage or the j typewriter turn green with envy. Or suppose the woman at home has a talent for sewing. There is no more j effective weapon with which to rout the wolf away from the door than a needle, and no woman need fear the future if she has the energy and ambition to develop her talent for dressmaking or millinery, and make of it a real profession. Also she can do this in her own home, and to the benefit of her family as she does it. There are two things for which the want will never be supplied, and for which people will pay out money without stint. The first is for good cooking, and the second is for good clothes. Makes a Profession of Dressmaking and Cooking And the woman at home can fit herself to supply these needs with out leaving her family or neglecting her home duties. On the contrary, the two things run hand in hand. But —and It is a big BUT—the wo man who makes money by keeping boarders or dressmaking has got to make a profession of it. She's got to make an art of It. She can't do it In the hit-or-miss, sap-dash way in which she does do it at present with out coming tp bankruptcy. That's the trouble. And that's why I urge every woman to get busy and study her own business. Raise housekeeping to the highest power, and she need never worry about how she would make a living if her husband died. She'd know how to get rich. ! I THE TUNIC BASQUE MAKES ONE OF THE LATEST FANCIES A Garment that is at Once Practical and in the Height of Style. By MAY M ANTON 8353 Basque with Plaited Tunic for Misses and Small Women, 16 and 18 years. The basque that shows an attached tunl» !s one of the latest developments of th« idea. This one is adapted to small women and to young girls and, since it can be worn over any skirt, it is an exceedingly practical garment as well as an exceed ingly smart one. It can easily be seen 1 that it can be made just after the manner 1 illustrated or of two materials,a trimming I fabric being used for the plain portions of I the basque while the slseves and side por tions match the tunic. The high c6llar that still is open at the front is a new fea | ture and a smart one. The slceves'can be finished in full length or just below the i elbows but the long sleeves with the deep :uffs seem especially adapted to the design. 1 For the 16 year size, the basque and I tunic will require 6t<s yds. of material 27, j 5 yds. 36, yds. 44 in. wide. The pattern 8383 is cut in sizes for 16 !md 18 years. It will be mailed to any : iddress by the Fashion Department tl '■his paper, on receipt of tea | Bowman's sell May Manton Patterns. KEEP LOOKING YOUNG It's Easy—lf You Know Dr. Edward's Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young Is to feel young—to do this you must watch j your liver and bowels—there's no need ;of having a sallow complexion—dark ; rings under your eyes—pimples—a bil ious look in your face—dull eyes with I no sparkle. I Your doctor will tell you ninety per jcent. of all sickness comes from inactive j bowels and liver. | Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician lin Ohio, perfected a vegetable com ' pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. . Or. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the , system of impurities. 1 You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive j Tablets by their olive color. 10c and 26c per box.

O.—Advertisement. r w I Miss Fairfax Answers Queries CHURCH .VXD CHEKD DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going with a g-irl for over three years, during which time we have never had a difference. Now, less than a month before our marriage, we have had a little trou ble, which I feel sure you can straighten out for us. She is a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church and I am a Lu theran. Her mother insists that we shall both be members of the same church, though she doesn't say which. She is far more devoted to her church than I am to mine, and while she would join the Lutherans were I to ask her, I can see that she would be making more of a sacrifice than I ever could ask of her. She has asked me to become a member of her church and I have not yet said "yes" or "no," but X have never failed to do anything she asked me to. Is there so very much difference between the two churches? And in the event 1 join her church could it be private and so much ceremony eliminated? Might add that we shall be married by an Episcopal minis ter. T. H. A. "So many gods, so many creeds, So many ways that wind and wind, When all this sad world needs Is just the art of being kind," Wrote Ella Wheeler Wilcox once. I think that poem contains the answer to all your doubts. You and the girl you love, both worship God, and the forms of your churches are less than the big idea or religion back of them. Now, if it will make you wife happy to have you worship with her, how can you count against that for one moment the thought "What will peo pie say?" Unless man and wife at tend the same church they are all too likely to get out of the habit of going to church at all. A YOUTHFUL INFATUATION DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a girl fifteen and I'm in love with a young man seven years my senior. I know him about four months. We never went out to gether alone, but I often meet him at a friend's house. He never spoke to me about us going together until I'm old enough to get married. He never speaks about love or any thing. I left for the country and when I was away about two days I sent him a card that I arrived safetly and he answered it, and we are still corresponding. I ttiink he likes me. S, S. K. Of course this young man <loes not talk to you of love. Yon are a mere child and ought not to bj dream ing of romance and sentiment yet. I am iit'raid that you are a bit pert and forward or you would not have begun a correspondence unsolicited. Put your mind on your books or your work and don't try to start love af fairs with men who are likely to think you a silly child. KXCOURAtiEMEX T. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a man of twenty and am deeply in love with a girl of the same age, whom I have known for the past six years. The girl knows how I love her and the result of my suffferings from same. 1 receive no encouragement from her whatsoever, only she says she feels sorry for me and that I should try to get over such feelings, as she will always remain a friend to me and nothing else. I have no future ahead for me and it would be impossible for me tn enn trol my affections for this girl. Don't you think she at least ought to give me some encouragement, whether meaning it or not, so she could relieve my heartache? HEARTBROKEN. It would be most dishonorable for the girl you love to encourage you un less she meant it. You are really too young to pick out your life compan ion, and I think it would be far wiser to see no more of the girl with whom you are infatuated, but instead to de vote yourself to working your way ahead in this world. You have a per fectly good future ahead of you if only you choose to make it so. Don't rave in this silly manner of love—it is not all of life —and it is not a thing you will ever win unless you prove yourself a little more worthy and capable of acting like a man and making your way in the world. DON T ALLOW YOI KSIXI' TO BE RECONCILED TO HIM. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: About a month ago I became ac quainted with a young man for whom 1 have learned to care. He always made appointments with me which he never kept on time. Once after I had waited for him for two hours, I saw him. intoxicated and being led home by a friend of his. Now we are not on speaking terms. DOROTHY. I Put this man out of your thoughts 'and your life. Think what agony ; the wife of a man would have to en dure if she sat waiting for him two long hours and then he was led home drunk. If l>e risks treating a girl so 'before he has won her, he would not spare her after he was sure of her. DIVIDE THE POLICY. DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a man of twenty-four and am about to get married. I am in | sured, and my mother is the bene -1 ilciarv in my policy. I love my , mother and I also love my sweet heart. What I want to know is, should I make my future wife my j benificiary, or should I divide it up | equally between them. What is the j best thing to do under the circum l stances? ANONYMOUS. Divide the policy equally ,I*;tween your mother and your wife. You | want to feel that you have made some provision tor each of these women you loved and who loved you.
