i Life's Problems Are Discussed BY MRS. WILSON WOODROW Beginner's luck Is proverbial. The first time you go to the race track you may thrust a hatpin at random Into the list of entries, and having thus selected a horse, you will prob ably put to shame the careful cal culations of bookmakers and handi cappers by winning on him hands down. The first time you play poker or auction bridge, the cards will seem fairly bewitched in your favor, and no matter how shocking your blun ders you will probably sweep the board. The first time you go up: against the stock market, ten to one 1 you'll be lucky. You will probably | bo taking a flyer in "Phonies Con-' solidated" on the strength of an ut- ' terly worthless tip; but that makes I 110 difference. If necessary a mira cle will be performed in order to| give that stock a boost. This phenomenon is one of the strongest arguments for the existence of a personal devil. So invariable a feature is it of any game you may choose to play, that it hardly seems possible Satan is not thus strivingj to lure the unsophisticated and inno- | cent into his net. Xcxt Time Is Quite Another Story. But when you return in full con-! fidence of your powers and vaunting your prowess—well, that is another i sto*y! I Beelzebub was unquestionably tak ing a personal interest in me when 1 first tried my hand at the writing game—"the profession of letters," I think I called it at that time. He blinded my eyes to itstlifficulties and . hazards; he guided my 'prentice fin gers in the construction of my first stories, and he beguiled the editors into accepting them all immediately.

TUESDAY EVENING, B t ringing Up Fathe Copyright, 1917, International News Service By had to do was write stories and sell i them? That was all there was to! it. Could anything be simpler? So I sat down at fever heat and, i wrote a lot more. But the Prince of 1 Darkness directed his attention in other quarters, and called off his ef- i ficient aids. "No need of wasting any further bait on her," he said,, "she's hooked and landed for all, time." Months went by. I wrote my very best. Jn vain. The editors were very kind; they always are, poor, dear, patient souls, "lone watechers of a starless night." They commended my offerings, asked to see further work, and regretted that the enclosed story "did not quite," etc., etc. At last came Christmas morning. I arose joyously, anticipating the gifts I was to receive, anil proceeded to the breakfast table. "Ring happy bells across the snow;" My plate was piled high with returned manu scripts. Everything 1 had out was back in my hands —stories, verses, articles. It seemed almost as if the Fates had entered into a spiteful conspir acy to destroy me, and with malign zest had deliberately chosen this day of joy and cheer for their purpose. I realized later that it was only the devil up to his world-old game of first inflating and then pulverizing the neophyte. Fate llazcs Kvery Beginner. And 1 was pulverized. The world was over and done with for me. There didn't seem anything left but a lodge in the wilderness. And then all the stubborn Scotch and the fighting Irish of me came to the sur face. The next morning I sent out those j manuscripts again a,nd kept on send i ing them until one by one they all ; reached port safely, and in the end T received higher prices for them i than I would have if I had sold them I in the first place. Of course, it was merely a coincl ! dence that my avalanche of rejec ; tions descended upon me at one time, , and on Christmas morning of all i days in the year. No one was to j blame, I had erred simply through j ignorance of conditions in the prop ,er marketing of my wares. In other ' words, 1 was meeting with the salu j tary hazing which Fate seems to j visit upon every beginner, no matter j in what line. A first recognition often comes 1 easily. Through some special apti tude or a favorable combination of j circumstances one may gain a mo i mentary attention. But there is al i ways a reaction; for neither aptitude i nor good luck will carry one very far. We've got to ledrn our job, study it from every angle, live for it, love it, sweat at it, grind at it, play at it, and put no other gods before it. 1 The writer of a single story, the painter of a single picture, the busi ness man who puts over one big deal and never another, can't go very far on the strength of these solitary per formances. They show up wonder fully at the barrier, but they haven't learned to gauge the pace. When their mounts begin slacken and flag on them they come a cropper and find themselves sitting on the grass at the side of the course, gaz ing dazedly while the race sweeps on. We have all observed that it isn't always the extraordinarily brilliant or clever people who are at the top of the heap; but it is the men and women who have the will and the in. dustry to eat up work, who will achieve that concentration of mind and that discipline of body which are necessary for the long, uphill pull. I .earn to Play as Ilnrd as You Work. We must have observed, too, that many people have an entire misap prehension of what the word "work" means. They go at their self-ap , pointed task feverishly, intemperatc- I ly, and exhaust themselves before | they are half through. Thewhole trick of the thing lies I in the conservation of effort rather ! than in its expenditure. It's getting the last ounce out of yourself, but stopping before you're tired, and so training yourself that you can then forget the work and the worries and play as wholeheartedly as you have toiled. The periods of reaction and dis couragement are the turning points in the life of every worker. They are the supreme tests of our faith and our fitnsss—of our faith in our selves and the future and of our fit ness for promotion. We succeed on the strength we have acquired during our barren years. They form the line of de marcation between the dilettante and the worker, the amateur and the professional. In them lies much of the romance of history. Cromwell stood with Hampden gazing at the little craft moored in the Thames which was to bear them to America. His strug gle with the king was over; he was baffled and defeated. But the iron which that struggle had developed in .him could not so weakly yield. At the last moment he turned back. "I will have one more grapple with the man, Charles Stuart." "So them two turned together; one to die. Fighting for freedom on the bloody field; The other, far more happy, to be come A name earth wears forever next her heart." And if any one wants to read a story of the full flowering of the "barren years," there is Macauley's essay on John Bunyan. All's Well That *? End? Well BY J.VXK MrI.EAN ! He wore tlie uniform of a United ! States officer, and there was a little j buzz of admiration as he entered the crowded room. Girls pushed past j each other for the privilege of I bringing him something to eat. He I would have attracted attention any where and in any garb, but the uni-, form accentuated his virility and brought out every fine point he pos sessed. "Have you met him yet?" asked j Nan Hathaway, running up to her j best friend excitedly. "Yes: haven't you, Nan? He's splendid, simply fine even better than he looks." "Oh, there's mother in the group talking to him now," said Nan eag erly. "I'm going up to get intro duced. See you later, dear." Nan stood on tl.e outskirts of the little crowd that paid homage to this man for perhaps several seconds; then she was noticed and introduced. Nan was the most beautiful girl in Coburne Falls, and she knew it. She looked up at the man with her dark-lashed, gray eyes, and for a moment they stood apart from the group, chatting casually. Nan knew that people must notice them, and her cheeks burned with excitement and triumph. This was a man worth while meeting. She wondered why she had never heard of him before. Then she heard a remark from someone else in the group that suddenly turned her heart to ice. "Where is your wife, Captain— isn't she with you?" A Thoroughbred "Wife?" Nan's heart was whis pering miserably. Then he was mar ried! How absurd that she hadn't thought of such a contingency! But she was a thoroughbred, and she turned her highbred little face back to the man's view without a flicker of an eyelash and asked, in her friendly little way: "Yes—aren't we to meet your wife?" "Why, she ought to be here," the man returned. "She was asked to pour tea, I believe; but she doesn't care much for social functions." Didn't care for social functions, when a woman, to hold the admira tion and love of a man like this, ought to be a very queen among her sex, thought Nan. She wonder ed what Mrs. Carter would be like. Oh, he did hope nothing would hap pen to prevent her coming this aft ernoon! "Oh, there she is now," said the man, turning toward the door, where a woman's figure stood a little un certain on the threshold. Nan turned quickly. She hardly knew what she expected to see, but she was certain of one thing—Mrs. farter must be a beautiful woman. Daily Dot Puzzle 42 43 • • y, ® 44 32 ' 3 .

HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH What she saw was a little, rather dowdy woman, with a plain face that had not one distinguishing fea ture. Yes, there was just one thing —she had beautiful hair; but it was not fixed becomingly. Its flaming copper masses were gathered up in a soft knot on her head, and she was dressed so unattractively as to appear almost shabby. Nan almost gasped—and then she recovered herself, for Captain Car ter was bringing up his wife to be introduced to the crowd. Nan found herself shaking hands with the plain little woman, and almost carried off her feet the next moment by the queer fascination about her. As Nan told her best friend afterward: A Pleasant Surprise "It was like tasting something that you are sure will taste bad, and find ing it delicious. You know yourself that Mrs. Carter makes absolutely no appearance. I was simply sick with disappointment when I first saw her. To tell you the truth, I was disap pointed when I discovered that the captain was married, but I did want him to have a beautiful wife. And then—l met her. Why, my dear, she is simply fascinating. I looked at her again and again, and felt like rubbing my eyes to see if she were the same person." "I've heard she is wonderful, but what is it about her, Nan?" "O, her way of speaking, and the j Daily Fashion Hint j j Prepared Especially for this Newspaper. j DESIGNED WITH TASTE AND DIGNITY.

She could talk with any one at all about any thing at all, and the captain adores her." "Her hair Is lovely," remarked the other girl. "Yes, I remember as I looked at her, that I thought it was her only good feature. How mistaken I was! I felt so ignorant and awkward be fore her, and so ashamed of my thoughts; I felt as if she must have read what was in my eyes as she came across the room." "Just the same. Nan, she can't touch you for looks," said the other girl loyally. "Ix>oks! What do they amount to?" Nan said scornfully. "Nobody thinks anything about them where Mrs. Carter is concerned. I wish I could be exactly like her. Really, I never knew before just how poorly equipped I am." And just at this time Mrs. Carter was saying to her husband, "What a beautiful girl that was you intro duced to me. Was her name Hath away? It's the hiost wonderful priv ilege in the world to possess such flawless beauty. I wonder if she appreciates it."

When Robinson's Woman Shop was first opened, our competitors gave us but a short time to last, in fact one went so far as to remark, "Another store for me to buy out." To day it is a different story. Robinson's Woman Shop stands alone in its methods of doing business. Truth always in advertising, honest values, no job lots, no seconds, no surplus stocks, no goods for sale purposes, no trumpt up sales, no sales for every day in the year, no charge for alterations, refunding money at all times without any red tape, always serving: you and never urging you. What has been the result, to-day Robinson's Woman Shop without boasting or brag -6 . ,^ est "S row ' n S woman's ready-to-wear store in Harrisburg. While it is true we are not adding any more space to our present location, it is but another example why, when making your purchases at Robinson's Woman Shop, it means big savings for you, as the foundation has been laid to avoid every unnecessary expense, which enables us to mark all stocks at a close margin of profit and you become the gainer. Hun dreds upon hundreds of economical buyers have formed the habit of trading with us, and they m turn have spread the news to their friends and the result is that to-day Robinson's Woman Shop is the most talked of shop in Harrisburg. Prompted by our success our competitors have become alarmed and are making every enort to learn our system of doing business, such as calling us on the phone to learn our prices, sending their salespeople to shop us and every other method which we consider un businesslike. However, we wish to state it is needless for them to shop our store, call us on the phone, etc., for if they too will become their own buyer, manager, window-trimmer, advertising man, have no floor walkers, elevators, automobiles, electrical front, etc., they will also enjoy the unusual confidence of Harrisburg's economical women as Robinson's Woman Shop does to-day. Robinson s Woman Shop has a purpose ahead of it and will not stop until this purpose is attained. . r r As a mark of appreciation for your many favors shown us and in order to make our Second Anniversary Celebration a huge success and one long to be remembered, we have wilfully reduced our entire stock in price and ask you to share in the big feast of unusual reductions. _____ ____ s NEWEST FALL SUITS!
