Life's Problems Are Discussed By SIRS. WILSON .WOODROW I was shopping the other day with ray sister. "I'll only be gone ten min utes," she said, leaving me seated in the taxi; and she did not return for half an hour. There was nothing for mo to do but watch the passing show. But my attention soon wandered from the general to the particular, from the mass to the Individual. Near me stood a shabby, timid little woman apologetically offering a tray of wares. She looked pinched and starved—starved of affection, happiness, even of food. People hur ried by her without giving her a glance. She was the kind one likes to forget—if one can. Threads, safety pins, needles, tape and pins. She of fered them with a sort of disparing apathy which brought pity some times and impatience always. I thought of another street vendor T had seen only a day or two before, a leather-lunged, masculine tramp who was selling children's books, bright-colored, gay and tempting. "Take 'em home to the kiddies. Make the little ones happy!" he bawled, thrusting them impudently,! insistently into the faces of the pass erby. And several people laughinglj accepted the challenge and stopped to purchase. Her Story Ukc That of Hundreds Something, a sense or curiosity 1 suppose, made me step out or i taxi, ro over to the woman, and >u. a paper of pins. I She thanked me as if I had done her a favor, and then as I o*ked j her a question or two, she told m *! i her story, similar to hundreds ot | others. .. She was a widow; there was noth ing else to which she could turn hei hand, and she wasn't making an> -1 thing at this. I said something ot , tills sort: _<„„•> "Whv don't you lift up your voice | Stop customers. Make them buy. I People need pins and needles and . thread. If you'd stand here and >*",•• •Here's your thread and needles. Patch your pants, mend your mend-1 ing, sew up your rents in mind, body , and estate! A stitch in time saves nine.

[ "Don't shrink back, I went on. | "Stand out where people can see you. And then when you have their at- , tentlon, look them in the eyes, and I sav sweetly and imperatively, I am sure you need some pins. Pins are so necessary. And these are really a She smiled in a reluctant, wintr> way. and said, "Oh. I couldn t do anything like that. I wasn't brought up' to this. My father and my hus band were both well-to-do. WW, if they knew what I'd come to" Then she began to cry. , _ „ The Old Cry—"l Wasn't Brought l P to Work" - Oh, dear! Oh, dear! What an awful d— this idiotic old cry, "I wasn't brought up to work;" and the air of injury, of resentment, that cruel cir cumstances have made it a neces sity. Work of one kind or another is the only thing that justifies our existence 011 this planet. Instead of being a 1 urse. it is our dlvlnest blessing. And the old excuse of "not being brought I up to it" doesn't go to-day, when j women who have been reared In the greatest luxury are gladly accepting the heaviest, the hardest, the most menial labor in the hospitals on the other side, and doing it often under lire.

If we're only sweeping a floor, we're telling a lot about ourselves by the way we do it. 1 I received to-day a letter from a young girl. She says: "I am em ployed in a business office, but my work does not take up all my time and attention. There are times when I am struggling and half-choking, because 1 am full of suppressed en ergy, and don't know how to work it off. I have friends, but it is not friendship nor play that 1 want, but work that 1 can put my soul into." Don't St i lie Your Breams or Energy My dear girl, don't attempt to bottle up all that energy. Decide what you want to do most In the world. Your desire may seem ut terly fantastic, impossible. Never mind that. It's the impossible that's always happening. But if you want to "dream true," make your vision a big one. Don't say, "Oh, that would be too good to happen to me!" Nothing is too good to happen to you. Why shouldn't you have the best there is in life's shop? And Viold 011 to your idea. Never let it go. Dive in it, expand it. Work toward It with the strength of an undivided purpose. A man was telling me the other day of a deal he had put over. "I didn't think I could get more han five thousand dollars for my share," he said, "but suddenly I said to my self, 'By jove. I won't take that!' al though five thousand dollars looked as big as the moon to me at that time. So I took my courage in both hands, insisted on thirty thousand— and got it." Here is an extract from another letter I have received: "I feel like a girl of sixteen, but, sad to say, I am thirty-seven years old, without any education whatever, as I was raised In the backwoods in a small western town, and have never had any schooling. I was married young ;ind came east. And now I'm alone in the world without an income. I must soon find some substantial branch on which to light, for I am sure I could make good in Some line of business. But what? I m ener getic, capable and quick. What are my chances?" It's (Jlorious to Feel 10 When :"7. Your chances, my dear lady, are the very best. But cut out that "sad to say." It is a glorious thing to be 3 7 and to feel if! there's nothing sad about it. Also, a woman who can write the sort of a letter that you have written me without any schooling shows that she has ac quired a much wider education than any university can give—the educa tion of life. A very famous and brilliant woman of the eighteenth century once remarked: "I don't know any thing about books. I never read them. But T know men and women and the world." A woman who is 37 and feeli 16 has health of mind and body. The liability of "being alone in the world and without an income" is trifling as compared to your assets—health, energy, the will to succeed. I lwive a friend who. whenever she particularly desires anything, always says: "The thing I seek is seeking me. The good T want wants me as much as I want it." MRS.

Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair Girls —if j'ju want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. I', doesn't do much good 10 try to I rtish or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you -iejtroy it entirely. To do this get a'iju; four our.cts- of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp end rub it in gently with the linger lips. F.y morning, most if not j.l), of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more application.! will completely dissolve and entirely dc stioy every single sign aid trace or' it. Ycu v ill find, too, that nil Itching and (limiting of the scalp will stop, and yqur hair will look a id fee! a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It is inexpensive and four ounces l all you will need, no .nat'er how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails. All's Well That •e Ends Well & BY JAM: MiI.EAN He looked about the cheerful but somehow Inadequate little room and glowered in spite of himself. And yot when it came to an actual com plaint put into so many words, he hesitated and looked shamefacedly at the soft brown hair under the light of the swinging electric bulb. The thoughts that had overwhelmed him at first were something like this: What right had she to hold him back? Why was it that a man progressed faster than a woman? What would his friends think of his home and his old-fashioned wife if lie should ask them to the house for a meal? And then had come other thoughts. Why should she be other wise than she was, this woman who had always stayed at home and sac rificed in order that he might get ahead? Where was the vaunted love that he had sworn would last forever? Then she looked up suddenly. "Well, Joseph, what are you pon dering about " Again the impatience and intoler ance swept over him. Why does she persist in calling him Joseph, when all others called him Joe? "Oh, he burst out suddenly, "I was just wondering what the bunch would think of this place." "Well, what should they think of it?" she returned calmly. "It's our home, not theirs." "But it's so different from other people's homes." "1 sliouiu call that commendable. ' "Oh, Emma, you don't understand what 1 iftean." "Well, what do you mean?" Her very calmness irritated him the more. It was so plain to be seen that she did not resent the in ference in the way he was speaking, she simply did not understand what he meant. "I mean that it's queer." "Queer!" she reiterated in amaze ment. "What do you mean?" "It's old-fashioned. Nobody sits in the dining-room and keeps the front room alll closed up for a par lor. People don't have parlors any more, they have living rooms." "Is that what's worrying you?" "That's one of the things. "And what else, Joseph?" "There's another one, lie flashed out. "why can't you call me Joe?" "So, that's another," she repeated softly. "Yes, and the way you dress. Why can't you get into something nice once in a while, other women don't sit around all day in gingham house dresses." "It's clean and presentable." "That isn't the question." She relapsed into silence.

He wished vaguely that she would say something, anything, but the fact that she did nothing but sit still and sew, nearly drove him wild. "You've been seeing a great deal of other men's homes, haven't you, Joseph?" she said after a few min utes. He nodded. "And you don't like comparisons?" "Oh, it's nothing we can't change if you will only agree." "And you're ashamed to ask them here?" "Not ashamed," he parried, but you're young, Emma. What's the good of growing old before you've had any life?" "Well, Joseph, I've had to keep close to the house until just lately; perhaps you haven't given me much time to change. 1 hadn't thought much about it till tonight." "And you will be different? You will have things different?" "Of course. You must tell me what to do, and I shall do It." And Emma kept her word to the letter. She opened the parlor and turned It into a living room. She dressed in modern styles, she met the wives of Joseph's business friendd, and she frequently stayed out late in the afternoon and kept Joe waiting for dinner. Nothing went according to schedule, and al though at first Joe was only too de lighted with the modernity of every thing, after a time things began to pall and he began to long for the hot biscuits and the waffles and the dain ty home touches that had always been a feature of his dinner at home. One night when Emma returned unusually late she found Joe moody and cross waiting for her in the liv ing room. "What's for dinner?" he growled. "Oh, nothing much," she rejoined. "I'll have things ready in a Jiffy. I brought some things in from the del icatessen." Joe groaned. "But Joe,' she laughed, "you don't like cold dinners. All the other men put up with them." "Emma," burst out Joe suddenly, "let's go back to the old regime. Everything just as it was. I'll prom ise never to criticize you again, nev er." And lie buried his head on her shoulde. like the boy tie was. '.'But we wont go back altogether," she said after a time. "I've learned some things. I really like the living room and my new clothes, Joe, but I don't like treating my husband like a stranger. 1 think I can manage better in the old way." And they both laughed like children as they went out into the kitchen to get din ner. ENLISTS IN AVIATION CORPS Liverpool, Pa., Nov. *l3.—E.
