OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
WHAT HAPPENED TO JANE
By Virginia Terhune Van de Water
CHAPTKK XI.YII.
(Copyright, 1916. by Star Company)
She must keep Iter husband in a
good hutnor for her parents' sake.
•lane repeated this sentence over to
herseif many times during the days
following her visit to her mother. In
everything she tried to do just what
Augustus wished.
She was sure that the money he
had lost in an unfortunate investment
hud not amounted to much, for he
did not remain depressed about it.
Yet she asked him timidly if there
was any way in which she could
economize and thus "make up the
difference" to him.
It was at the breakfast table, three
days after he had imparted to her
the news of his loss, that she put this
query. Augustus laid down his knife
and fork and looked at her.
"Well, well!" he said with the
chuckle she hated, "you sure are get
tins to he more thoughtful all the
time these days! T guess it did you
good to have me speak my mind the
other night—eh? Now that you un- 1
derstand me and just what I want,
you seem to show more sense."
"I—l —only thought." she stam
mered. despising herself as he ex
pressed his approval, "that perhaps
we could live more cheaply than w-e
do. You see, you buy the best of
everything, hut I'm willing to have
plainer food if you want to economize
in that way."
"Well, I'm not willing." he said,
smacking his lips over the hot corn
hread soaked with butter which he
was devouring in huge mouthfuls. "I
like good thinss to eat and 1 mean to
have them. No, Jane, there isn't any
need for that kind of stinting. I did
lose some money, but I've got lots be
sides." he added boastfully.
"I was a bit put out about that In
vestment. but t can afford to lose
something now and then. It might
seem a lot to you. but that's because
your father never had a cent to spare,
lie never was a success, anyway."
She felt the hot blood mount to
her cheeks. But for the sake of the
man of whom he spoke slightingly she
must not resent this speech.
She Thanks Mary
Mary Baird brought Augustus a
second cup of coffee —he always drank
at least two cups at each meal —and
Jane forced herself to smile in de
clining the housekeeper's offer of more
for herself.
"Xo, I thank you Mary," she said.
"But thi- cup I had was delicious, as
your coffee always is."
The grateful gleam t.o which she
was becoming accustomed flashed
from the black eyes. When the door
had closed behind the woman. Augus
tus spoke.
"See here. Jane.'' he objected, "don't
he too kind to Mary. You'll spoil her
if you're not careful."
"Spoil her. Augustus? Oh. no. I
don't think so. I praise her cooking
occasionally. for she is a good cook,
as you have often told me. And T
speak pleasantly to her always, of
course.'
"Well, don't talk too much to her.
I like her to be quiet about her work.
1 wouldn't keep a person who gabbled
about her affairs to my wife. Mary
don't do that, does she? I mean she
don't talk over things with you, does
she?"
There was an anxious sound to the

I question that made the wife look at :
him. wondering.
"Why, no; she never talks about
anything or anybody," Jatie replied.
"I never knew such a' silent person.
Isn't she always like that ?"
"She always has been." Augustus
said, and there was a note of relief
now in his tone. "But sometimes,
when one woman irets with another,
she'll talk all the time. And I won't
have Mary troubling you that way."
He was not usually so careful that
she should not be annoyed. Jane re
flected. She appreciated that now
would be a good time to broach the
subject that was on her mind and
heart.
"Augustus," she said timidly, "you
say you don't like me to be troubled:
but I am worried just now."
"What about?" he asked indiffer
ently.
"About mother. She isn't well.
She's worrying over the money father
owes."
\ugustus Sneers at Her
"She might be used to that kind
of tiling by now." Augustus said.
1 brusquely. "He's always owing some
body or other- —generally several peo
ple. Just now I happen to be one of
them."
"I know it!" Jane spoke eagerly.
"And I want to thank you for lending
him that money. Augustus. He told
me—l mean I asked mother about it
—and she said the note falls due next
month."
"Yes. it does," lie mumbled, his
mouth full.
"I—hope—l mean —I'm afraid. Au
gustus, that he won't be able to meet
it."
"So he's been complaining and
whining to you about that. too. has
he? Augustus queried. "He began
a tale of woe to me last week and I
told him I expected him to pay me
what he owes me."
"I'm afraid that he can't. Augus
tus," the wife repeated. "I'm dread
fully sorry and ashamed to have you
put to so much Inconvenience. But,
as mother is worried, and as you've
been so kind already. I was wonder
ing if perhaps you would mind wait
ing just a little longer lor"'
"In other words if I'd give him un
limited time to do nothing in, eh?"
he asked. "No I won't!"
He stopped abruptly. He had never
seen Jane's eyes so appealing, had
never before seen her look at hint with
that expression. He did not know
that it was love and anguish for her
parents, not for him, that had brought
that softness to her eyes. His manner
changed, and he smiled.
"Well. Jane," he said condescend
ingly, "since you're trying all you can
to please me, I tell you what I'll do.
I'll extend that note for another three
months."
He pushed his chair baik. and go
ing around the table, kissed her
loudly. He smacked his lips after the
salute, as he had smacked them over
the cornbread. She wanted to rub
her mouth with her napkin, but she
dared not.
"But, remember," he warned her.
"I will have no more working of you
by your father. T'lt see him some time
this week and tell him what T've told
you. But don't forget that hereafter
you refuse to talk to him about busi
ness. That matter's between him and

At a glance, it seems hardly possible thai
the two can be cut from the same pattern

Questions and Answers
Kml This Dangerous Affair
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have lived in this city eight months
and. not having any friends, I ask your
advice.
I am twenty-one and pretty. I am
receiving attentions from my era- 1
ployer, who Is married. He takes me
in his automobile and to dinners. He
tells me not to hurry to the office.
My conscience tells me that I am do
ing both myself and his wife an in
justice. so I appeal to you to help me.
R. A. W.
My dear girl, you have stated the !
dangers of your own case so well that
there is hardly anything for me to
add. Surely you are finding 110 pleas
ure in a course the dangers of which
you dearly recogni/.e. What you are
doing must leave you in a state of
feverish unrest and nervousness that
is bound to make your life miserable
even while you are pretending it is
gay and festive. If you are strong
enough to go to your employer and tell
him with quiet dignity that you are
heartily ashamed of yourself and in
sist upon having nothing but business
relations with him in future, it might
be safe for you to keep your position.
It might be, I say, but the one wise
course for you to pursue is to go at
once to some reputable bureau of em
ployment, register there and take your
self out of the way of a man who, un
der seeming kindness and attention,
masks the most dangerous enmity a
girl can know. Don't throw away your
young life in the pursuit of pleasure.
You are only twenty-one, and worth
while friendships are sure to come to
you. Don't "persist" in a course you
know to be wrong and dangerous. You
have analyzed your situation now
end it.
Are Von Mercenary?
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a girl of twenty and engaged
to a man of twenty-three. Have met j
through business as we are both em-1
ployed in the same place. We are very
fond of each other, and he claims I am
dearer to him than his sisters and
brothers. Now Miss Fairfax the ques
tion is this: My friend took out a life
policy, making his brothers and sis
ters, who are all married, his bene
ficiaries, as his parents are dead.
Don't you think he ought to make me
this beneficiary?
S. J.
Your letter sounds as if you were
very mercenary in your attitude to
ward the man you love. Aren't you
a little bit ashamed to be sitting and
figuring 011 what would become of his
estate if the man you love were to
die? The widow is legally entitled to
one-third of her husband's estate. In
the matter of a fiancee it would be
hatural for a man to make some pro
vision for the girl he loves, but I think
it would disgust him if she insisted ot
this as a right.
ABOUT 300,000 BABIES
DIE BEFORE ONE YEAR
the Census Bureau estimates that
300,000 babies died in this country last
year before the age of one year, and it
is stated that one-half of these deaths
were needless if all mothers were
strong and infants were breast-fed.
Expectant mothers should strive to in
crease their strength with the strength
building fats in Scott's Emulsion which
improves the blood, suppresses ner
vousness, aids the quality of milk, and
feeds the very life cells.
Physicians prescribe Scott's Emul
sion: it is doubly important during

Are Spoiled by Careless Fathers and
Mothers.
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Copyright, 1915, Star Company.
If you are the parent of a child you
no doubt resent any advice or inter-;
ference from friends or neighbors re
garding the proper method of bringing
up your offspring.
You consider it an impertinence not!
to be tolerated.
But, sir or madam, have you stopped
to consider how absolutely flimsy 13 1
your oft-repeated assertion that "your
children are your own, and that it is
not the business of your neighbors how
you bring them up?"
So far as your methods of education
or your ideas of religion are concerned
your words are true.
It is an impertinence for any one to
criticize you for keeping your child
until it is ten years old before it is
taught the alphabet, if you see fit to
do so, or for teaching it to speak three
languages in its infancy, if you have
kept it well and strong at the same
time.
Men and women have grown to ro
bust maturity who have been reared |
in both ways.
Neither does it concern any one what I
creed you teach your child nor if you
teach it no creed save morality and
love of its Creator and its fellow men.
In almost every other least particu
lar it concerns every human being in
dividually and the whole world in gen
eral how you bring up your children.
The World is Interested
If your son mistreats dumb animals,
or uses coarse language, or is impolite
to his elders, it is my business, for I
am the friend and kin of all dumb
things, and I have a right to rejoice |
and be glad in life, which I cannot do
if obliged to hear vulgar speech; and
since courtesy is an important feature
in our association with one another,'
it is my business, if your son is lack-,
ing in it, to remind him and you of the
fact, in such ways as I feel could be j
helpful to you.
If you have permitted your daughter
to grow into a disagreeable girl, sel
fish, thoughtless and jealous, or indo
lent and without a purpose, it is my
business, and that of all right-minded
people, to try to make you realize your
responsibility.
It is the business of the whole com- j
munity if you are making dyspeptics
and invalids of your children by im
proper food and neglect of hygienic
principles of life. If you are sane and
healthy, and are able to feed and clothe
your children, it is no one's business
how many you bring into the world,
but it is a matter which concerns hu
manity at large how you bring them
up in the world.
Away off in an interior town of Illi
nois—that birthplace of great men—
live several growing boys under six |
teen, who have been reared withoutj
proper instruction by their parents.
These boys imagined they were having
"fun" when they destroyed the cart of
an old man of seventy who maintains
himself and wife by carting ashes from
private houses.
A self-made young woman, indignant
at the occurrence, set herself the task I
of finding who the vandals were, and ;
of visiting their parents and urging i
them to make good the old man's loss, <
and to rebuke their children.
As a consequence the young woman 1
ents, who consider her conduct imper
tinent and meddlesome —instead of hu
mane and just and kind, which it was.
Not long ago a teacher in a school
met parents whom he Informed of the
misconduct of children after school
hours.
A Foolish Opinion
These parents believed the teacher
was Interfering with matters which did
not concern him, because the misbe
havior of the children occurred after
study hours. But the behavior of the
children, their manners and their mor
als should concern every human being
who has the interest of humanity at
heart.
No sensible person expects children
to be paragons of perfection. If they
are noisy in their play, if they some
times quarrel. If they are guilty of
childish, misdemeanors, the less said
or thought of it the better.
But the child who maltreats or
abuses an animal or a younger child,
who tantalizes or ridicules a beggar
or a deformed person, who destroys
the property of another, who steals his
neighbor's fruit or flowers, or who uses
disrespectful language to older people,
should be taught better by the friends
of humanity; and his parents should
be made to realize that he is In need
of wiser and more sympathetic coun
sel than they have bestowed.
Every child on earth to-day is not
merely its parents' child; it is the
world's future citizen, and it is there
fore important to all of us how that
child grows up.
It is better to offend a foolish short
sighted father or mother than to ne
glect a duty to society.
