i Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. There are some very desirable and beautiful things in this world which can neither be defined nor classified as property. They are the realest things we know, and yet the mo ment anyone tries to take posses sion ow they they vanish. Among them are love and friendship. It may be accepted as an aphor ism that no friendship and no love is sufficiently indestructible to be proof against the sense of posses sion. You may claim, you may protest that you own it, and— Pouf!—it has gone forever. A girl recently wrote nie this story of a little human comedy. It was both pathetic and humorous, more pathetic, however, than humorous. She was, according to her own clent, capable, young woman who had for some time filled a responsi ble position in a large store in one of the smaller cities. Presently a young man, a stranger, appeared on the scene and seemed anxious to affiliate himself with the same house. The girl thought well of him and immediately busied herself in his ■behalf, with the result that she se cured a place for him in the line of promotion. lie gave satisfac tion to the firm and showed that he was quite capable of fulfilling his new duties. So far. so good. She then intro duced him to her friends, and again he acquitted himself admira bly and won the good opinion of every one who met him. But the situation was no longer satisfac tory to her. She claims that once firmly entrenched in his new posi tion, and with a growing acquain ance, his manner to her changed. At first he was duly grateful and Appreciative of her good offices, and then slowly but surely he be gan to avoid her. This became ob vious to her friends, who resented it and took occasion to remind him of her past kindness to him and of the way she has bestirred herself to further his interests. But this only confirmed him in his aloof attitude, and now the girl complains that ho is no more than ordinarily civil to her, and she con fesses herself not only puzzled and Highest A Fashion's Apparel at the LADIES — in — Su its-Coats-Dr esses Blouses an A wonderful display of Fashion's finest creations —in beautiful materials —smartly tailored—at prices you just cannot duplicate elsewhere.

It is very natural that she should feel grieved; but the situation is perfectly plain. The root of the whole difficulty is that she did not play the game according to Hoyle. She mixed up business and social relations, which is always a tac tical blunder. It never works. And the reasons why are sound and ex cellent. Sex has no place in business. It was very kind and good natured of her to do what she could to assist someone who seemed to her fitted for the place she succeeded in se curing for him. But she should have dropped the matter there. He was already In her debt; why heap other obligations upon him? It would have been far more gracious and tactful to have let him make the next move. If pleasant social relations grow naturally out of a business association, that Is one thing; to try and force them is another. ' She sees only her side of the question, and does not consider his. But, nevertheless, there is some thing to be said for him. Suppose that another man had gone a bit out of his way to get a profession by giving to the world a preparation ten times better than Grandmother's good old-fashlonod but dirty and blistering mustard piaster.

He, the recipient of the favor, would have said some thing to this effect: "Thanks, old man. Any time I can do anything for you, let me know." And each would have gone his individual way, pleasantly con scious that an agreeable bilt unde manding friendship had been ce mented between them. But we have not yet arrived at such a condition of equality be tween the sexes where a man can, or thinks ht can, treat a woman in the same way. The truth is, this girl put the man in a peculiarly difficult posi tion. She not only heaped him with benefits, but she did so before an audience of her friends. Now, an audience would not be an audi ence if it had not certain attributes. It i sentimental, it craves sensa tion, and it wants the situation fully dramatized. The audience then, having ob served the girl's interest in the youth and lier successful efforts to secure him a place with her firm, demanded the usual thrills. The first act opened like a business drama; now'they wanted the heart interest. They took it for granted that no young woman would hustle so to advance the interests of a perfectly strange young man unless it was a case of love at first sight. They expected an immediate re sponse on his part, with the usual denoue.nent. That would have af forded them a very pretty and in teresting entertainment, with the desired "happy ending." But this was not to be. And they felt cheated. They had had their anticipations aroused for nothing. Consequently, they showed their displeasure by taking the yeung man to task. As for him, when he saw what every one expected of him, he nat urally balked. X am surprised that he did not bolt. Most of us want to work out our destinies in our own way. We do not want too many guiding hands pushing us safely into port. We do not want too many sign-posts along the way affirming that this particular path is the only road to happiness. We prefer to take the fortune of the road as it comes, its ups and downs. We want to ad venture for ourselves, and find our own happiness. No one could blame this man for feeling that he has been made a rather r.bsurd figure. Men as a rule don't care to be under obliga tions of this kind to women. When a woman openly promotes a man's fortunes, there is just one construc tion the world puts upon it, and that is r. sentimental one. And he is also aware that, according to ac cepted opinion, absurd and unjust as it may be, there is only one way to repay his debt, and that is by offering hei his hand and heart. I am basing by knowledge of this particular case solely on the girl's statement. But is it not pos sible that the young man might have had a more sympathetic consideration from her and her friends? He may have had those dependent upon him which made it imperative for him to accept the assistance she held out to him. He may have known very little of the world and have been ignorant of the complications in which it would involve him. He may have had a sv r eetheart back home to whom his heart was true. Or he may have been one of those soli tary souls who have no desire to become engaged or to marry, and who instinctively feel "he travels the fastest who travels alone."

IfPgjj THEIR MARRIED LIFE Copyright by International News Service "Winifred dear, how could you be so naughty?" Helen, trying to be as calm as possible, had stopped at the entrance of the apartment house, and was looking down at Wirftfred's flushed face. "I saw her do it, ma'am," said a nursemaid who was wheeling a baby carriage up and down before the door. "What was it she did and how did it happen?" asked Helen, trying in vain to stop the tears of a small child who was standing near by. "I didn't see how it began," said the girl, "but they were playing to gether, and the first I knew about it, I saw your little girl lift up her hand and strike the other as hard as she could." Helen could see that Winifred had slapped the little girl rather hard, for the red marks of her fingers were across the child's cheek, but before she could ask anything more the child suddenly disappeared around the corner and Helen was left with Winifred and the loquacious: nursemaid. Helen took Winifred's hand and led the way inside and into the ele vator. On the way up she was try ing to decide what to do. and just how to punish her. She wanted to be fair and she intended to question Winifred carefully before a punish ment was inflicted. When the apart ment was finally reached, Helen led the way in, took Winifred to the bathroom, where shp washed her hands and face, ana then proceeded to the living room where she asked how it all happened. "You slapped the libtle girl, didn't on. Winifred?" Winifred nodded. "What did you do It for?" "I told her I would," said Wini fred, deliberately, "if she did it again." • "Did what again?" "Pinched me." "Oh, she pinched you, did she?" Again Winifred nodded. "Don't do that, dear; say 'yes, mother.' " "Yes, mother," said Winifred obe diently. "And so you slapped her because she pinched you. Why didn't you walk away from her? You needn't have stayed with her, you know." "We were playing, and it was fun." "But suppose mother slapped you I DailyFashionl j Hint I | Prepared Especially For This j§ Newspaper \ STUNNING TYPES OF SMART FROCKS.

No matter what happens yo uare never to strike any little girl or boy, do you hear me?" Winifred looked up slowly and met her mother's eyes. "Say you're sorry, dear, and mother will forgive you." Winifred slowly shook her head. "I'm not sorry," she muttered, "I told her I'd do it." "And mother isn't going to punish you this time," Helen went on pa tiently, "but you must say you're sorry." "No," said Winifred flatly. "Then you must be punished. Go into your room and take off your clothes and go to bed, and there will be no supper." If Helen had expected Winifred to quail at this she was mistaken, for the child left the room in silence, and five minutes later, when Helen went to the door, was just climbing into bed. Helen was determined to break the child's stubbornness, which she had noticed for some time past. She wondered where "Winifred had de veloped such an unexpected trait: she had been sweet and tractable as a smaller child. Were they to have trouble with her now? Helen tried to sit down quietly and knit, but she discovered tjiat the incident with Winifred had made her restless. The knowledge that Winifred was in disgrace worried her, and the best method of dealing with the problem vexed her still more. Warren met her when he came home, just coming out of Winifred's room, where the child lay quiet and wide awake. Helen's worried coun tenance evoked an immediate, "What's wrong?" "Winifred's been naughty," Helen said, and explained the matter to him. "She simply will not give in, dear and I must punish her until she does." Helen said this with more or less of a feeling that War ren must certainly agree with the way she had acted, and she waited for him to speak. "She certainly has a lot of spirit; I admire her grit," and he grinned broadly. „ "But she must be made to obey. "Oh, sure; punish her if you like; but just the same it isn't as if she had done something really wrong. Sometimes I think you women think up hypothetical reasons for punish ing children. Suppose she isn't sor ry for doing It. Are you always sorrv for things you have done when you have felt that they were richly deserved?" And "Warren, having delivered himself of this long specli, settled down in his comfortable arm chair with the evening paper, leav ing Helen - uncertain as to whether or not she had been too strict, but determined nevertheless to see the thing through nowj that she had gone so far.

Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX NARROW-MINDED DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am engaged to a soldier who is now in France. Our engagement has not been announced, owing; to the war. I have several other friends who are in the service on this side and who take me out quite a little and who know of my engagement. My fiance's family disapproves of my ac cepting any attentions from anybody and have made it uncomfortable for me. They have also written to him, exaggerating greatly. As I love my soldier dearly I hate to have them make him think otherwise. Should I give up receiving all the little atten tions of my friends, some of them also friends of his? I would appreci ate very much some advice about the matter. HELEN. Since the men with whom you are going about know of your engage ment I fancy they take you out for purely friendly reasons and that their respect for you, as well as your own dignity, keep you from doing one single little thing that would belittle your own real love. Of course your fiance's family have an intense loy alty for their boy and hate to have you do anything that would seem in any way to belittle him or your love for him. Perhaps if you would go to them and explain your position, that would set their minds at rest. I grant you that they are narrow minded. There is no real necessity for you to sit at home doing nothing be cause your sweetheart is on the other side. But isn't it worth while to make some sacrifice in order to secure his complete peace of mind? It Isn't a question of his faith and trust in you; it is Just a question of not put ting him in a position where he has to call on his "reserves" of loyalty to you. I suggest that you talk the thing over with his people, and if you cannot come to any definite under standing with them, that you tell him of your fruitless interview with them and ask him to tell you exactly how he feels about the situation. IS IT ItF.AIi I/OVE? DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am employed as a stenographer. For the past year my employer's son has been dictating to me. He also has called at my home. The last time he called he told me that he loved me and he wants me to be his wife. He said that his father agrees to our marriage. I love him dearly. But my parents think that I should not marry him ,as he is twenty while I am twenty-one. LENORE J. S. One year's difference in age is not a very vital amount. You are both young and while you are almost a woman, the> man in the cast is still only a boy. Do you really care for each other or is it just propinquity that has caused you to make up a little romance for yourselves?

Indeed a boy of eighteen should not be contemplating matrimony. He needs to work and make himself, to get experience and the education of life, to grow in knowledge of him self and what he really wants. When I advised a boy to marry a girl two years older than himself he was sufficiently mature to choose a wife. If your brother were planning to marry a girl of seventeen, that would be just as bad as is the pres ent situation; but if he were twenty five, and planning to marry a girl of twenty-seven, there would be no obstacle in the difference in ages.
