Life's Problems Are Discussed In an article written some weeks :IKO, 1 jestingly said that it was a pity there was not a clearing house of hearts, where the matrimonial as pirations of young men and younK women could be met and liquidated. That rather idle remark has evoked a surprising and unexpected response. I have had many letters from gills since—pathetic little let ters. Here is an excerpt from one of them: "Since coming to New York, over two years agro, I have not met nor had any opportunity to meet any gentleman whom I would care to have for a friend. I am twenty three years old, and am making a splendid salary. 1 am also consid ered pretty. But 1 have been so lonesome in this jrreat city that 1 have been tempted to suicide. There lore it seems too bad, if as evinced by your articles, there are scores of honorable gentlemen just as lone some as myself, that there could not be some wj\y for us to get acquaint ed and perhaps find life more worth living as a result of these friend ships." Till;, is jt hit from another letter: j "I am a working girl. and 1 am ! so lonely that I don't know what to do. I "Tish 1 eould meet some of those lonely Western men who appreciate nice girl. lam deadly sick of these city men, who only think as badly of girls as they can." And there are similar letters; from young men, who write of their work and their salaries and their! longing to meet some "nice girls. l.oneliiHv-s One of the Tragedies of Voutli When you think of the thousands! of young people from Maine to Cali fornia who pour into this great cityi and take up their lives here without friends or relatives, struggling on alone, facing the hazards of sickness or accident or want, longing as all healthy young things long for amusement and companionship, it is to contemplate one of the tragedies of youth. My chance remark about the < tearing house of hearts brought out :> letter from a woman who said that she had lived in the underworld for years and was now, as I gath ered. helping in some settlement work. "I believe." she wrote, "that some method of effecting a proper intro-l duction between the lonely young men and women of our cities would abate seventy-five per cent, of the social evil.

But it remained for a man from the Far West to come forward with an ingenious plan. 1 give his let ter: "Dear Madam— "This may be of service. It was suggested by your article of the li'tn. "1 happened a few years ago to be in a San Francisco business place where a young man of my acquaint ance was employed, a nice, whole some boy, with a normal boy's de sire for a good time and the society of girls of his own age. A stranger in the city, though, he had been un able to meet any nice girls, and he had been too well raised by an ex cellent mother to take up with the other Hind. "On the morning of which 1 speak I noticed him going about his work listlessly and indifferently. lie was evidently desperately lorielv, droop ing over his job like a chicken with the pip. Then suddenly 1 saw him straighten up. his expression alert and interested. "Following his glance out through the open window, I saw a very pret ty girl framed in the window of an office across the street, and looking in our direction. The eyes of the two met, and the boy smiled. The girl, taken by surprise, smiled frankly back. There was a mutual attrac tion. "But the next second came the realization that she was committing an offense against the conventions. Quickly she averted her eyes, her pose stiffened, the lines about her mouth became frigid and repellant. She could not be induced to look that way again. "The little incident struck me so forcibly that later, when bantering the lad over his repulse. I made the half-serious suggestion of the crying need for a state or city clearing house, where the credentials of young people desiring to know each other could be made up and in spected. " "The social, industrial and intel lectual record of each individual could be set down from birth to date,' I said, 'and referred to, just like an abstract to title in the case ol' a piece of real estate. Then,when j a situation arose such as has just confronted my young friend, all that would be necessary would be to mail or hand the young lady his card with his clearing house number; and then, if she found his record satis factory. and was herself agreeably inclined, she could return her card and clearing house number to him, and thus an acquaintance could be established on a far more safe and guarded basis than the present cas ual vouching of friends for a pass ing stranger; in other words, the city or state would act as a sort of official introducer, and at the same time preserve the principle of nat ural selection, while the fact that records of the sort "were kept would undoubtedly tend to raise the gen eral standard of conduct and be havior among young people.' "As 1 say, 1 made the suggestion in a jesting way, but 1 was realty surprised at the way it was taken up and favorably commented upon by a group of the young fellows of the establishment who were listening to me. One of them said: "I am for it. It would be a sure and sim ple way to protect society from the \ ampires of both sexes.' "And speaking seriously, does not the state really owe it to its young people that they should have some better method of meeting each other than through uncensored introduc tions or by flirtation? And what is more, it owes them better places to associate with each other than the streets and the dance halls; for, as our cities have grown, there is an increasing percentage of girls who have a suitable place to receive or ! entertain their friends." It seems to me that the impor tance of this idea cannot be exag gerated. Why would it not be feas ible for the municipality to put some plan of this kind into effect, thus giving it the status, in substance and form, of a govermental func tion, with a power and baching that no institution such as a church, or a neighborhood settlement, or any other purely voluntary association of citizens, could supply? If the philanthropists in Hhe big | cities could be interested in some | scheme of this sort, they might spt j tie with one stroke many of the so cial problems for which at present there seems no answer.

He is very attractive looking and, of course, the girls are crazy about him. Having lost both our parents, we were shifted about. I try and keep home just as mother did, but my brother refuses to work. ! Now, Miss Kairfax, I cannot keep, home on S3O a week and support i two. By that T'mean my brother wants a new suit every two weeks or hat, shoes, etc. He does not think that 1 have to work hard as a book keeper for that money. I've tried toj tell him, but he told a young man \ that works in my place of business, i "What is the good of working when ' your sister works for you?" 1 felt i hurt over that remark and I spoke | to him. lie says he will not work j as long as he is at home. It would i break my heart to turn him out, as he was mother's ideal. HEARTBROKEN' SISTER. ! From what you write, I gather; that your brother is a weakling who is of that contemptible sort that 1 gladly permits a woman to work for i his support. In allowing this, you ! are doing the boy a frightful 'in-1 justice. No man who has a real re spect for himself will let a woman work to support him. In working i that he may be idle, you are en-1 couiaging the boy in liis desire for, life Xvith ease and luxury, and in a | selfish and even vicious feeling that it doesn't matter who works for him j as long as her work insures him I freedom from responsibility. You aren't being fair to your I mother when you encourage your I brother in his contemptible stand. | Of course, she wouldn't want the boy she idolized to turn into the! sort of creature he seems to be. | Can't you make him recognize that I he is harming no one so much as himself—that he is spoiling his own } future and cutting himself off from any chance of growing i:.to some useful and paying occupation which would let him be a respected citizen ! some day? Can't you stir liis ambi- ; tion and give him a picture of him self as a man who accomplishes things and is looked up to by peo ple? If kindness won't help, he must be forced to make his own way. lie 1 may have to learn in the school of i hardship and adversity, but he must be saved from turning into that j most contemptible of all creatures, a j man who sits back in callous bru- j tality and lets a woman slave to j support him.

There are about two chances out of three tli:t you are, and have never suspected it! Sounds extremely unfriendly and critical, doesn't it'.' Hut, like many fairly disagreeable statements, it is true. When people critisise you, you want to hear the nice things. It soothes and gratifies you, doesn't it? It gives you a pleasant, amiable comfortable feeling to be told how pretty you nre, or how sweet, qr what a dandy voice you have, or what a bully good game of billiards you play; but suppose some one con-.es along and tells you that you are lazy, or that you don't put enough of your own personality into your work won't you put up an argument? Well, you can't talk to me—and II tell you that you are a quitter! You aren't getting on as fast as you'd like to, are you? A good jnany of the folks you know have advanced far beyond you. You don't seem to get much chance. Fate isn't very kind to you. If you had any luck you'd be earning double what they're paying you. You say all these things and shrug your shoulders and let it. go at that, don't you? Well, then, I tell you you arp a quitter: ' you don't see things through. Suppose you don't like your pres-! ent position, but stay lest you fall! to get another if you give that up.! Your cowardice has you beaten be fore you start the race. You are a; quitter—too timorous to try. You start out in the game of life to make a success; now why let anyi sort of weakness make you con demn yourself to failure? The man or woman who sees things through is the one who makes a success of life. This doesn't mean that starting half a dozen jobs and leaving themi because you were not suited to them, or they are not suited 1 to you. marks you as a failure; but! It does mean that not having the de- 1 termination to fight to see your job through, to fight to get the best kind! of a job you can do, and to light to get recognition for your work, marks you as a quitter. A friend of mine who is unfortu nately a victim of that dread afflic tion "writer's cramp" decided to do her bit and learn to knit. There seemed to her no particular reason why she should not knit with her left hand. So she devoted a great deal of time and energy to learning. She struggled wildly to gain control Fashions of To-Day - By May Manton 1547 Girl's Box-Plaited Drew, 8 to 14 years. Price 15 puts. over her work with a hand which; had never been trained. Discouragement and failure di.li not daunt her. She kept at it, knit-j ted a few straggling, uncontrolled rows, ripped them and started overj again. There was no improvement! in her work, but she kept at it with ■ perseverance, concentration and j grim determination. At the end of; four weeks she had made absolutely no progress. It was perfectly evident that her untrained left hand would need a! vast amount of training In order toj produce any kind of knitting that; was not a collection of holes, tangles; and dropped stitches. "I won't quit. I've started this! and I'm going to see it through," she told me grimly. "But you are quitting! You're stubbornly torturing yourself with a thing for which you are not fitted, | which requires a vast expenditure ofi energy and makes no return; you are neglecting the things you might do I and do well, because you want to do what everybody else is doing. Whyt don't you make some of your won derful orange marmalade and send it| to camp? Why don't you plant a| war gurden? Why don't you com-| pose songs? Why don't you go out; and get money for the library fund?" 1 asked. She glowered at me. "I won't quit." And at the end of three months, Loraine is still struggling to do the thing for which she is not fitted— and there are so many things she might do well! When you're too stubborn to ad mit that you are in the wrong field, that you can't do the work that you set out to do—too stubborn to look for the work for which you are fit ted then you are an absolute quitter: for the thing which you are failing ir. common sense. Efficiency, practicality and suitability are the things which an earnest worker and an honest worker look for. A quitter starts out on the path of life searching for a means of earn ing a livelihood. If he tumbles Into something which pays fairly well and wmti: at it he f 'eels sure that he is I not a quitter. But the man who re fuses to look for the job which is supremely his is a quitter. The woman who shifts her re-' sponsibility on to someone else's; shoulders is a quitter. So you quit; when you give a thing up because it' is too hard for you, and equally you j "quit" when you insist on trying to Here is a really ideal dress for the school girl. It.can be made of gingham or of linen, or any material of such sort, and it can be made of serge with equal propriety. In the illustration, shepherd's check is trimmed with green broadcloth, to give a very smart effect. You could use a plaid gingham trimmed with a plain linen, or you could use a plaid serge and trim with plain taffeta, or you could use a plain serge and trim with a plaid taffeta. Washable ma terials .will, however, be given 'preference for the school dress of the early season, and the ginghams, chambrays, the cot ton gabardine, cotton poplin and linen are admirable for this dress. It is a very simple garment for the body and skvt portions are.cut in one. Ti:c belt is passed through slashes under the box plaits, to allow long unbroken lines. If you prefer, you can make the collar round at the back. The frock of serge with silk trimming will be serviceable for street wear throughout the mild weather as will the shepherd's check shown in the illustration.
