Wilson Woodrow "Dear Mrs. Woodrow: "Having just read your article on the girl who laments the fact that lier parents object to her marrying: a man of unsteady habits, I cannot resist writing- you of my own experi ence, for X am now reaping the re sults of my marriage to a man, or rather a spoiled boy, of a similar kind. I prided myself on being broadminiled and took the stand that I would tolerate a little drink ing at home in order to help him make good. "But now, after it has all ended jn the divorce court, I am thoroughly convinced that one cannot help a man who will not help himself, and those who want 'help are the ones who have always had some one else bear their responsibilities, until they are soft, inefficient mollycoddles, and as long as any one will lend theni a hand they will only lean the hard er. "Oh, if I could only go back four years! Then I was a happy contented business girl, earning a good salary, and enjoying my work and my home Then I met this man. Like the girl who was writing to you, but his de votion to me won a responsive love in my heart (I smile now at the 'devotion' when only a short time ago I won my divorce on the grounds of cruelty). "We were married, and no girl : was ever happier or more anxious to be a wife, companion and helper in the truest sense of those words. But Just as you can't make silk out of calico, no matter how anxious you are to do so; just so, I couldn't alone our marriage a success. I needed the right kind of help and co-operation. I "Unfortunately, he had a small inheritance, so with plenty of time, money and the desire to drink and be a 'good fellow' always our married life was far from what t had expected it to be. My heart ached when I could no longer hide from myself that my husband was dishonorable and dishonest as well as untruthful. "In order to 'help out', I accepted a lucrative position, thinking that thus he might become asharped of his idleness and go to work; but his big opportunities were always .iust ahead, and I grew weary oi lis tening to the tales of wonderful things which would be sure to turn up soon, but which never did. I lost flesh until I weighed less than a hundred pounds, and living under such uncertain conditions proved too much for my nerves, so after a very ugly outburst on his part, when I was very thoroughly slapped by the hand that had once patted my face in love's devotion, I left for good and later obtained a divorce.

I have lost my ideals. Not that I think all men are like my former hflsband, but I can't trust people as I once did. I have a good position and I like to work, but X want something more in my life. I never go out and I sec very little company. I am twenty-five and X like to mingle with other young people, but this is a small town and almost all of the girls in my set have married and gone away. "I long to go to a larger place, and then I am afraid to start among strang'ers. I would be wondering always whom to trust and I would not dare to make a move, and yet I am very unhappy here. Can you give me some advice? "I have no near relatives, and I lack the courage to start again—- I don't want another shipwreck in my life." I-ife isn't over at twenty, my dear girl, not by a long shot; it's just beginning. You did the best you could, and you apparently failed but who shall say you made a mis take? You may be glad sometime in your life that you had just this experience. At all events, it has taught you one great truth which you voice most succinctly—that "one cannot help a man (or woman either) wild will not help himself." Don't be afraid of anything. Get it into your consciousness that "all things work together for good," no matter how had they may .seem at the time. You sigh to go back four years and be a happy, contented girl again, but nothing in the uni verse can remain stationary. Do you care to picture yourself a middle-aged woman, with the out nook on life of a girl of twenty? There would be no place for such an anomaly. Youth would have none of yQ.u, and middle age would find you a bore. You would not have had that knowledge of .life's struggles, its sorrows, its joys, its disappoint ments, which should have enriched your mind and broadened your sympathies, and mellowed your can't be a worth-while, competent, judgments. The laws holds; you sympathetic understanding woman if you seek to evade all of the uni? versal experiences. Never be afraid of life. It is better to be too impetuous than too cautious. It is better to make a thousand mistakes than to spend your time in trying to avoid mak ing any. Those persons who stand shivering on the brink of a deci sion, wondering whether they had better go in or stay out, and debat ing the depth and the coldness of the water, usually continue to re main shivering on the brink. Of course, one may argue that if they had dived in they might have drowned; but I would rather drown, wouldn't you, than, be an inert, futile, ineffective nonetity, who had been to cowardly to take a chance. Believe me, it is wiser to take any kind of a plunge than none at all. You have a great desire for a wider field, but you are timid about seeking one. You are a trained wo man and have commanded a good salary; then don't be afraid to go where you want to go and where you feel that there are larger op portunities. And, above all, don't be afraid to start among strangers. This is a big, kind, generous world, in which every one is very much occupied with his own af fairs; but every one is also usually willing and glad to extend a help ing hand, especially to those whom they see are determined to help themselves and are sincerely anx ious to get on. It is always a mistake to distrust people. Of course, you are suffic iently intelligent not to make every passing stranger your confidant and bosom friend; but you are not a child, you know a good deal about life, and your own self-respect and innate dignity of character should be sufficient safeguard. You will need no other in your intercourse with the world. Go where you will, and if you show a disposition to work and suc ceed, to believe the best of persons, and sedulously and under all cir cumstances to keep up your courage and your cheer, the wilderness will blossom like a rose for you and doors of opportunity of which you never dreamed will open. Advice to the Lovelorn I.ET YOUR MOTHER INVITE HIM DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been about with a gentle man for over a year. We are very fond of each other and have agreed to marry, but are holding oft the en gagement on account of the war situation. He does not live In my town. Would it be all right for me to ask him to stay over the week end when he calls? L. T. D. There is no reason why, on the in vltatipn of your mother or father or even a brother, this friend should not be entertained in your home over the weekend. It Is a bad thing to lay too much stress on the fact that one friend is masculine and one feminine. This causes an almost morbid sex con sciousness. If, as far as propriety al low, girls were to treat their men friends somewliat as they treat their girl friends, it would really be far better for every one concerned. Of course if you were a girl living alone you could invite a girl friend i • spend the weekend with you and the most primitive commonsense recognizes the fact that the same rule does not apply to a man. But either a girl or a man can with perfect propriety visit the family of the other on the invitation of or with the consent of some dignified older member of that family. VERY DISRESPECTFUL Dear Miss Fairfax: Do announcement cards of wed dings require sending the party a present? A certain husband's brother died re cently and the following week his wife attended thu theater several times. As her husband was in mourn ing, was that the right thing for her to do? She is devoted to her hus band in other ways. The husband's family were very much provoked and thought it was a lack of respect for the departed brother. Were they light? BELL W. Wedding announcements "demand" nothing in return. The punctiliously proper.and courteous, call if un ad dress is given or send at least a note of congratulations. Sending a gift or not sending it is an entirely per sonal matter. Very often people use wedding announcements instead of wedding invitations, largely in order to free people from a feeling of ob ligation In regard to gifts. I think It was a bit selfish and thoughtless for the wife to attend a theater so shortly after the death of her brother-in-law. I 4 do not be lieve in elaborate periods of mourn ing or in a deliberate seeking of misery or in any effort to add to the gloom of the world. But naturally no man would enter into the spirit of gayety and excitement just after the death of his brother; and while a wife Tieed not make herself sad and gloomy. It Is kinder and more digni fied for her not to flaunt in thn face of the world her indifferfencfe to her husband's sorrow.

"I am sorry to be' a spoil-sport," he said. "But I promised dad X would come home early to-night—for he is feeling pretty ill, and down on his luck. To tell the truth, I suppose I should have gone right home from the Delaflelds'-—but Dora insisted that I dine here." "Well, I Uke that?" Dora scoffed. "And didn't you want to come?" "Of course I did! Have I not proved it? The temptation was too strong to resist. All the same, I ought to go home and cheer dad a mite." His words were addressed to Dora, yet his eyes sought An over-suspicious person might have fancied that she had been the attraction that had brought him to the Livingstones, to-night. But no over-suspicious person was present. "Is your father worse, Milton?" Stephen Livingstone inquired.

"Then you can understand," the young man went on, "how hard this verdict is for him.

"My father," dropping her voice as she always did when she spoke of him, "suffered with his eyes for several years. He trained me then in read ing to him. He was very particular about it." "You should read wonderfully well with your rich contralto voice," Milton commented admiringly? "I was wondering"—the girl be gan, then paused. "What were you wondering, Cyn?" Dora demanded.

There is no card to sign, anil there are no dues to pay. But membership in the league will be an honor to-day and a pride in years to come. Every member has an agree ment with himself, or it may be with some member ot his fam ily, that he will save a bushel of wheat between now and next summer. He will do this by the faithful observance of the food administration's wheatless days and wheatless meals, and by such other saving of wheat as his own ingenuity will invent. Members in the league will be graded according to the ingenu ity the member uses in finding' new ways of saving wheat. For this reason women are desired as members on account of their abil ity to make appetizing menus. The league is an auxiliary of the Army of the United States and of the armies of the allies. The victory of these armies is partly dependent on the service and devotion of the members ot the Wheat Savers' league. The purpose of the league lies in the fact that the United States must send to the European allies 90,000,000 bushels of wheat above our normal export during the present season. There is only one place for the wheat to come from and that is the con sumers in the United States. In order that this amount may be shipped every citizen of the country must save from one quarter to one-third of his nor mal consumption of wheat. There will be no meetings of the Wheat Savers' League. No officers will be elected. You will not even have to report the re sults of your savings. AH the duties are in your hands to order and to execute. You will not 'wear a button, or hang out a flag or display a placard. You may talk about your membership or you may make it a secret society if you wish. But you will be glad you have joined, for membership will make you carry yourself bet ter, and will make you happier. Join the Wheat Savers' League to-day.

Loses Wife's Affections; Sues For a Million Pittsburgh, I''eb. lfl.—A suit filed here yesterday by Clifford M. Hart ford, manager of the ICauffmitnn & Baer department store, asks $1,000,- 000 from his father-in-law, Harry K. Sheldon, president of the Allegheny Steel Company, Biackenridge, for alienation of the affections of Hart ford's wife, Martha A. Hartford, and defamation of character. Hartford asks $500,600 on each charge and names, besides Sheldon, his wife's mother, Mrs. Il'.cks Shel don, in the alienation suit, and At torney Eugene B. Strassburger and William G. Kelly in tho defamation suit. Hartford charges that the defend ants so blackened his character to his wife that she was induced to leave him and contemplated bringing a divorce action. Among the false charges made against him, Hartford says, were that he took women from his store to lunch and visited down- town hotels here and in Chicago, six months after he was married, in a questionable mannor. Detectives, he asserts, were employed to trail him and had attempted bribery to ob tain evidence. His mother-in-law. he charges, made frequent visits to his home for the purpose of poisoning his wife's love for him. while his father-in-law, ne alleges, boasted openly he would induce his daughter to leave her husband. He charges his parents-in-law took his wife to Atlantic City and kept her there until recently. Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain muisi fied cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham pooing. as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tca spoonfula will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and remove!, every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves It lino and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. —Adv.
