Life's Problems Are Discussed BY MRS. WILSON WOODHOW "Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry, Make 'em wait." That was the rule Tom Taylor, the English dramatist, laid down for the writing of a successful play; and, by the same token, it is an ex- to follow in life. "Don't be too ready with your confidences. Let people guess a hit about you. If I were a Folonius, called upon to advise a young man or young woman starting out upon a career, that is the first injunc tion I would give. It will not only add to the interest you arouse, but will surely keep you out of trouble. As the English policeman warns n person when he makes jin arrest, "Remember, anything you say may be used against you." There is more money and more credit to be gained by keeping a still tongue than by extolling your virtues and accomplishments, no matter how genuine they may be. Your listeners never believe half that you tell them about yourself, any way, unless it is bad; and then thy have a shrewd suspicion that it is considerably worse than you have made out. These are truisms which every body knows and recognizes. Yet let trouble or misfortunue come, and we hasten to unburden ourselves to any one we can get to hear us. Let us suffer accusation or blame, and we immediately begin to explain and to exculpate ourselves. Let success or achievement be our portion, and we chortle in our joy to the first chance wayfarer, and strive to im press him with our importance. At least this is so in ninety-eight people out of a hundred. You and T are, of course, the shining except ions. And the reason for it is the uni versal human craving for sympathy and understanding. A happiness unshared loses half its zest. We hate to lose the good opinion and approval of our fellows. Misery loves company. This is all perfectly natural and ■perfectly right. The Church, when it established the confessional realiz ed and provided for a great, human demand and satisfaction one of the strongest impulses of sinning and sorrowful mortals. Merely to talk our troubles out to a sympathetic listener will fre quently take away half their sting. But not too often. There are enough professional trouble tellers in the world.

Tom, Dick or Harry may listen curiously as you recount your dis putes with your mother-in-low, your hard luck story about losing your position, or your eagerly given ver sion of that slightly questionable episode in which you were concern ad. They may even be profuse in ex pressions of commiseration. But in nine cases out of ten they are either profoundly bored, or they are apt to twist your sobbing recital into a story in which you do not particular ly shine. We are all of us inclined in mo ments of stress or resentment to pin our hearts upon our sleeve. That is an excellent place, if one wants to furnish food for the daws; but it is upsetting to the circulatory system The best place for a heart is safely inside the ribs, and its throbs should be reserved for the ear which has a right to rest against one's breast —or for the stethescope. Speech is always silver and silence golden—the present ratio of values between the two metals being some thing less than 1G to 1 and we would all do better if we applied this metaphorically in discussing our per sonal affairs. Why, I wonder when "the world is so full of a number of things,'' when there is so much to talk about, do we persistently hark back to the First Person Singular and its tribu lations. "Make 'em laugh. Make 'em cry Make 'em wait." You will never do it by talking about yourself. If they laugh then, it will be tn their sleeves. If they cry, it will be crocodile tears. Ami you must be sure that they will not. wait. They have already taken your number. They know just as much as they are interested in knowing about you, and they do not care to be bored by listening to any ex purgated and diluted bulletins that you may choose to put forth. On the other hand, silence is a lure and a constant attraction. For it suggests mystery, and mystery is always fascinating. For centuries men have stood be fore the silent sphinx where it rises above the yellow wastes of the des ert, and have vainly tried to puzzle out its meaning. For years too, men have sacrificed ; their youth, their health', their com-1 fort and often their lives in effort] after effort to reach the North Pole. But now, since Peary has come back to tell us just where it is and what it looks like, we hear no more of I Polar expeditions. There is no long er any mystery about it. It is just a commonplace patch of ice and snow. The aim of every lawyer in try ing a case is to shift the burden of proof to the other side. When we begin to apologize, to explain, to justify ourselves, we voluntarily assume the task of establishing our assertions. One never hears a man boasting of his honesty that one does not begin to wonder what shady trick he is trying to cover up. The woman who 'doth protest too much" always arouses suspicion. We are harder on ourselves than the law is, for it presumes every man to be innocent until proven guil ly. Whereas, we in our endeavor to clutch and hold the bubble, reputa tion, are forever seeking to prove ourselves innocent. The most difficult thing in the world is to keep quiet under cen sure, under doubt, under misrepre sentation. Kipling's "If" adorns most bedroom walls, but it should be on all: "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubt ing, too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good nor talk too wise." Wasn't it Bismarck who said. "Never retract, never apologize, never explain." For it makes lit tle difference what you say. If your skirts are clean, time may safely he trusted to right the wrong, the injustice and the misunderstanding. And if you have committed a folly or mistake, drop it in the pit of oblivion. Talking about it only keeps it alive and growing. We wouldn't be human if we didn't do things now and then that require explanation, retraction or apology. We needn't, however, he such fools as to take the world into our confidence about them. So never retract, never apologize, never ex* plain—except to the one person to whom the apology, the retraction and the explanation is due.

HXRRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH All's Well That a Ends Well *r By Jane McLean "Really, I think it is best for both of us, Bobby," she said evenly, her soft, throaty voice deep with eirio titon. • "Yes," the man returned bitterly, "it is, if you feel that way about it." "Well, it seems to be the only real way to settle it." "If there's anything to settle." "But surely you see that there is something to settle, don't you? Else why should we quarrel as we do?" "It doesn't matter, I'm willing to do as you say about it." "All right. Will you go away or shall I?' The man thought desperately of the lonely apartment, every nook and corner of which was crammed to the brim with dear little intimacies, and hesitated. "Perhaps it would be oetter if we both went away." said the gtoi quick ly. She, too, had had a sudden glimpse of the apartment without Bobby, and brave as she was prov ing herself to be in this crisis she had no desire too be left there alone with her memories. And so it was settled that way, and the following day the little apartment was locked up, and two people stole away frofti it, Aicli downhearted and bitter. How they had come to quarrel Lucile herself did not know. It had begun with a small difference and had come to the point finally when neither of them wanted to give in, and, worse still, they did not seem to agree on anything. Lucile, in her own heart, knew that if she deter mined to keep cool and give way in an emergency she could keep Bobby from getting stubborn.

Then Why Not Treat Your Skin As Beautiful French Women Do? Only a woman who has watched her complexion change from wrinkled, coarse, callow ugliness to clear, soft, youthful beauty can realize the feel ing of Joy that comes over one when first she sees her own careworn, aged looking skin actually regaining its girlish freshness; yet all this and more may be accomplished by a new process called Skin Osmosis, which uny woman may easily induce by the simple application of warm water and roseated cream. The warm water softens the rough skin (cuticle and opens the pores. The absorption of the cream helps to remove the half dead skin scales and brings out the fresh, beautiful skin from underneath, giving to the complexion a most as tonishingly clear, youthful appear ance. This is the beauty secret of I many famous actresses. Try it to night.

This state of affairs lasted until Lucile discovered that Bobby's very nearness almost always gained the *battle for him. She did not seem to be able to hold out; noth ing mattered very much but the warmth of his arms about her, and the moment that happened both for got what the argument had been. Bobby knew that if he said right out loud the thoughts in his heart he would not grow cold and bitter and incapable of speech. He knew this fact as well as Lucile knew her fault, but until a final break had been made he had not thought very much about putting it into effect. He had decided to run up to Boston for the present, and as he watched the fly ing scenery he thought more thoughts in a few minutes than he had ever thought before in his life. If had meant what she said, was this really the end? And if it were, what was he going to do without Lucile? The more he thought about it the more horrible everything seemed. After all, wasn't all this fuss the result of that pride of his that he might better sacri fice. than give up Lucile? And as he thought, the more distasteful did his trip seem. A thought occurred to him which he decided to put into im mediate action. The express stopped in a few min utes to put on the steam engine, and, gathering up his things as the train came to a quick stop, he was outside and on the platform, waiting for the next local back to the city. He felt that if he must think, he would rather do his thinking at home. It had been a mistake to come away at all, and the closed apartment seemed the only place in the world where he wanted to be. tained from druggists), wipe the face and apply Poudre Petal Is a very fine cirtriplexlon powder prepared es pecially for shiny noses and bad com plexions.

It Is always harder, anyway, with a woman. Of course, there were people she might visit, but she was in no mood for frivolity, and after partaking of a cup of coffee at one of the restaurants she began to retrace her steps to the apartment. Safely inside, she decid ed to stay, although the look of the rooms. desolate and forsaken, brought a tightness to her throat that was unbearable. She wondered if it would be possible for her to stay there alone, and finally the idea occurred to her of staying there in the daytime and going to an apart ment hotel at night. She wondered how long it would take Bobby to decide matters, and she cuddled up jgjm a j ____________________ * Join Our "Lifetime" Aluminum Club ! $1 Down and $1 Monthly Sends This 7-Piece "Lifetime" Aluminum Set To Your Home ; — You Need a Good Stove or F- Two Things Important When You Buy a Stove or Range: First, The High Price of Qoal.

Her eyes wandered to the door. She could hear that dear little click of the latch when he titted his key into it every evening. Dear Bobby, how she loved him. Why, ho must be beyond Stamford now, and well on his way. Sl/e wondered why he was going, and why she had sug gested such a thing. Supposo Bobby decided that he had made a mistake and didn't want her any longer. Well, she had done all this; it would be her fault. Suddenly there came a familiar sound, and she looked hastily toward the door. Some one was fitting a key into the lock. The next minute Bobby, flushed and breathless, was standing: on the threshold and they were looking square into each other's eyes. Lucile stared. "Bobby," she quav ered finally. "Girl," he said fiercely, striding across the room and gathering her up into his arms. "I just couldn't stand it, so I came back. I love you, I tell you, 1 love you.' Lucile's hot, flushed face was pressed close to his as she whispered softly: "I've thought enough for ten years, Bobby, just while I've been here alone. I understand better now." "So do I," ho interrupted quiekly. "That's all that matters," she mur mured, with a long siKh of relief. After all, lie was her man, and they had both learned a lesson. 5
