OF INTEREST T
Prudence and Prudery
By DOROTHY DIX
A problem that confronts every girl
t some time or other Is where to
draw the Une between prudery and
prudence In her dealings with men.
Bhe doesn't want to be a prunes and
prisms sort of a girl, one of the kind
who Is always on the lookout for a
■bock, and who takes hold of a man's
arm as If she would prefer to use the
tongs In touching It. She wants to be
!fre, and frank, and fearless, and yet
1W maldenliness shrinks from any
familiarity from one of the opposite
•ex, and so the question of how to
maintain a thus-far-and-no-further at
titude toward men becomes a very
difficult one for a young and inexperl
■nced girl.
The difficulty is further enhanced
•ly the fact that every normal girl de
jalres to be admired and to receive at
ttratlons from men, and she sees that
tho popular girls—the girls who have
•boots of beaux and are overrun with
llnvltatlons for theaters and parties
>nd every amusement—are the free
and-easy girls who permit little liber
ties and in whose presence a man docs
'aot need to put much restraint upon
•either his tongue or his manners.
An older woman could tell such a
ifflrl that she was taking a short view
of the subject, and that while the fast
woman will always get the most serv
ile*, admiration and attention from
imn, she is seldom the woman that
they marry- They like to be with her
•when they want an hour's amusement,
ifor she is Jolly and amusing and easy
(to talk to, and they have to make no
Effort to change their mental attitude
1n her presence, but when a man
thinks of a woman as a companion
for a lifetime and not a day, he wants
something better, purer, more wom
anly, and one for whom he has more
1-espect.
Men are cruelly Inconsistent In their
'dealings with women. They amuse
themselves with one type of woman,
nd then they marry another. A man
Will teach a girl to drink cocktails and
than refuso to marry her because she
does it. He will spend weeks per
suading her to kiss him, and then be

suspicious of her because she does it.
He will persuade a girl to go to see
a problem play and then condemn her
because she went.
No girl need ever be afraid that she
hurts herself in a man's opinion by
womanly reserve and dignity. He may
laugh at her a bit for a little Puritan
if she won't go to restaurants with
him without a chaperon, and if the
very suggestion of an oft-colored story
dyes her innocent cheek with scarlot,
but in his heart ho respects her for it.
She is the kind of girl that he would
like his sister to be and that he hunts
up for himself when he marries.
If you will notice you will see that
the gay, brilliant, good fellow, much
admired belle of a season, who was a
connoisseur In mixed drinks and dou
ble entendre stories and an expert at
cards seldom marries as well as the
s£y little girl whose only attraction
was the white halo of her innocence,
and ignorance, and purity.
Another very practical argument
for maidenly reserve may be found
in the fact that man's leading passion
is the passion for the chase, and that
the harder the thing is to get the more
he wants it and the more determined
hi is to have it. No man cares to kiss
the lips that are within his reach. It
is the ones that are denied him for
which ho hungers and thirst? and
which he spends his life trying to win.
No girl could have a more potent
charm for men than to diffuse about
herself an intangible atmosphere of
aloofness—of being guarded by a
maidenly delicacy that would take
alarm at the slightest approach to fa
miliarity.
Every man worthy of the name,
honors the girl who honors herself,
and If there are any others who are
driven away from her because she will
not permit liberties from them, she
should bless Heaven tliat a danger has
been removed from her path. This
does not mean that she should be a
prude. She can be friendly without
being familiar, and she should never
forget that while every girl should be
a peach, the ripest peach and the most
desired hangs highest on the tree.

Miss Fairfax Answers Queries
GIVE HIM A HEARING
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
Dear Miss Fairfax: Am eighteen,
and working as a cloak model. I have
been going about with a young man
six years my senior for two years. A
year and a half ago he ceased calling
because his parents were told I was a
model. His sisters are not allowed to
even mention my name, although they
think the world of me. I have heard
from friend!-, of his that he would like
to speak to me again. Do you think
that he repents his quick actions? He
knows that I have numerous admirers,
and that of all of them combined I
love him best. Do you think that Is
why he Is willing to apologize to me?
How can I win back his love, and
make him understand that, while we
were engaged, ho should have stood
up for me. (We were engaged to be
married.) Mother tells me that I ought
to try to forget him.
ADELAIDE.
1 Of course, It would have been only
loyal and manly for your fiance to up
hold you to his parents. But you were
both so young when the situation rose
that it is not surprising that he failed
to act with the mature Judgment of a
man. Why not give him a chance to
retrieve himself? His parents were
not fair In their condemnation of you
—but give them a chance, too. If he
and they fail you now, Just put them
out of your life and start over.
OBEY YOUR MOTHER
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been go
ing about with a young man not quite
two years my senior for the past three
months. As 1 am a few months past
sixteen, and have an older sister, my
mother objects to my doing so. I love
him dearly, and when I don't see him
"1 FEEL YOUNGER
BY TEN YEARS,"
SAYS MRS. WEBER
She Was All Run Down an<l In Ter
ribly Weakened Condition But
Now Feels Well and Happy Again
Mrs. Josephine Weber, a popular
Harrlsburg matron, who lives at 42
North Twelfth street, Harrlsburg, de
clares that she owes a debt of grati
tude to Tanlac that is greater than
she Can ever repay.
She says: "I suffered for a long
jtime from chronic Indigestion. It
made no difference how plain and sim
ple the food that I ate, I would always
suffer terribly afterward.
"Gas would form on my stomach
j and make me feel horribly bloated; I
was feverish, restless, irritable and
would frequently break out into a pro
fuse sweat. I was all run down, my
whole system seemed limp and I didn't
feel like working or doing anything.
"Of course I tried many remedies,
but none of them seemed to reach the
seat of my trouble, and I had about
decided that I would have to suffer for
the rest of my days when I read about
Tanlac In one of our papers.
"It appealed to me and I started
taking this wonderful remedy, and as
anyone can see It has done me a world
of good. I feel ten years younger. My
health Is now splendid, my appetite
has come back to me and I can eat
anything I wish without paying for it
afterward with hours of torment.
"I certainly am grateful to Tanlac,
for nothing has ever done me so much
good and I owe It my health and
happiness."
Tanlac, the famous master medicine
of which Mrs. Weber speaks and which
is so highly endorsed by thousands oi
other grateful people. Is now being
specially introduced in Harrlsburg at
Gorgns' Drug Store, 16 North Third
street, where the Tanlac man is de
scribing the merits of this wonderful
reconstructive tonic to dally Increas
ing crowds. Tanlac is also for sale at

I miss him very much. Although she
objects, I meet him secretly.
Somehow she has discovered that I
still go with him, and asks me to Rive
him up. A. D. S.
Your mother is quite right. You are
far too young to be very much in any
boy's society. A love affair is absurd
at your age. Don't meet this boy
secretly, but do aa your mother so
sensibly asks, and give up a prema
ture love affair which, honestly, will
do you absolutely no good.
AN APOIiOGY IS DUE
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been go
ing out with a young man for six
months. I love him dearly, and I
know my love is returned. A week
ago we had an argument and I said
something wrong about him, meant as
a joke, but his feelings were hurt. Wo
are not speaking at the present timo.
What can I do? H. M.
Yours joke was in very bad taste.
Go to the young man and confess that
you realize it. I am sure he will be
gtnerous enough to accept the apology
and explanation which you really owe
him.
Technical Books Are
Added to City's Library
The Harrisburg Public Library re
ceived yesterday a complete set of the
proceedings of th e National Association
of Cement Users from 1908 to 1912
with a promise of similar publications
of Interest to those engaged in or
contemplating cement construction.
This opportune gift, which will enable
the library to till many requests for
information on concrete, was accom
panied by a number of unbound
journals of the American Concrete In
stitute, and came from Charles B.
Herring, manager of the Ottawa Silica
Company, Ottawa, 111. In the last few
months there were many inquiries for
special information on concrete con
struction.
Other technical sets presented to
the library since January 1 were from
Henry McCormick, Jr., who gave a
complete set to date of Translations of
American Institute of Mining Engi
neers, 35 vols, in all, and from Ed
ward Bailey, the Yearbooks and Pro
ceedings of the American Iron and
Steel Institute, a complete set to date.
These volumes are all made refer
ence vqlumes and shelved together so
that they are convenient of access on
our reference shelves. They are a
good nucleus for u technical library.

birth of Viola Jeffrey, Mrs. Leona
Smith, not yet fifty years of age, be
came a greatgrandmother. The baby's
mother is Veno L. Jeffrey, wife of
Russell W. Affrey, and Is only fifteen
years old. Mrs. Jeffrey Is the daugh

mother at twenty-nine years. She, in
turn, is the daughter of Mrs. Smith,
who is at present looking after the
of her greatgranddaughter.
Mrs. JelTrey was only thirteen when
she became a wife. Her husband is
twenty-one. Her mother was only
thirteen also when she wed. Mrs.
Smith was married when she was fif

"I cannot realize that I am the

loves my little baby, but sometimes I

the chest. A little Wonderoil melted on
a spoon and given Internally or applied
to the throat and chest on brown paper
as a plaster, gives immediate relief. It
never burns or blisters or falls to
loosen up a cold. It has saved thous
ands of children from a bad night with
cold or croup.
This greatest of healing balms is en
tirely antiseptic and contains only the
purest ingredients. Made from a phy
sicion's prescription It is free from
dangerous caustic chemicals. On ac
