7 HHS Readiiyj ike toiißi JS|! Liftfe 7a//cs fcy Beatrice Fairfax By Beatrice Fairfax A letter came the other day that Is typical of the attitude so many women take toward age, work and life in general, that I am going to answer it at length: "My dear Miss Fairfax: "I was forty my last birthday, and have been employed since I was seventeen. I began by feed ing a press in a printing office, worked my way up, till now I get fourteen hundred a year in another and better department of the same establishment. "In the twenty-three years I have been in the office I have managed, as the result of a little investment and the utmost economy, to put by twenty-eight hundred dollars. Enter the Young Man "A couple of years ago a young man six years my junior came to work In the same division with me, and we grew much interested in each other. He is a college man, and when he accepted his present position he regarded it as a step ping stone to greater opportunities. "After he asked me to marry him he did not want to take the risk of giving up his office. And this and the difference in our ages made me refuse to marry him, as I felt his affection for me may be the result of propinquity. And I do not want to be a millstone around his neck, but I am heartbroken about giving him up, and he seems miserable, too. As you don't know either of us, a little impersonal advice would be very welcome. Yours, "SPINSTER." In the first place, let me correct one mistake —you are not really forty years old. No one Is forty, fifty or sixty years old: we age in heart and brain —not in years. And if you care deeply for this young man of thirty-four, and he cares about you, the chances are that in, £our subjective mind —where things' really happen—you are no more than twenty-eight or thirtv years old. I' have known girls of twenty seven and twenty-eight who have allowed their minds to age to the point of senility, and, on the other hand, I have known grandmothers who were radiant'" young past fifty. Birthdays :• Mistake It is the greatest mistake to think of ourselves in the terms of years: birthdays are mile-stones that it is well to pass with eyes closed. Nothing is so aging as con tinually associating ourselves with accumulations of time. Birthdays —for those who have collected quite a stock of them—kill more surely than disease. Think young and you'll be young. I believe those twenty-three years of Government service and the denial you have practised in amassing your little fortune have made you a little morbid, a little blind to a great many delightful things that life offers to him that has the wisdom and courage to take them. No one any longer regards six years' seniority on the part of a woman as an impediment to mar riage. Some of the happiest mar iages in the world have been ■when the* woman was the older. D'lsraeli was a number of years his wife's junior. Browning was younger than Elijfebeth Barrett and Ashmead Bartlett a couple of generations younger than the Bar eness Burdett Coutts. yet these marriages remain ideals of historv. A man of thirty-four is not a Can't Find Dandruff Every bit of dandruff disappears after one or two applications of Danderine rubbed well into the scalp with the finger tips. Get a small bottle of Danderine at any drug store for a few cents and save your hair. After several applica tions you can't find a particle of dandruff or any falling hair, and the scalp will never itch. I; ! !

Mutual Help I am not going to say, with a certain cynic that "propinquity is woman's chief charm." It is a valu able ally certainly, but it is sheer morbidity to refuse to marry a man because he had a great many opportunities of seeing you. You might as well refuse him because there are seven days lri the week or that jonquils bloom in the Spring. I'd take the young man of thirty four and I'd keep my office if it were humanly possible; then when the stepping stone to which the young man has been looking for ward presents itself,' you'll be able to lend him a hand.

THEFOUR O A SERIAL, OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XXVII Copyright, 1918, by Star Company Cynthia's bruised shoulder, while painful for a few hours, was soon so well that she declared herself able to go about as usual. On the third day after her acci dent she was so well that she ap peared below stairs in a street dress. "Cynthia," Dora announced in the middle of the morning, "you have an engagement for to-night, only you do not know it." Cynthia gazed at her, mystified. ""What do you mean?" she ques tioned. "Milton is taking a box for a play to-night, and has decided that ft will be well to invite father and mother, too. He thinks it might please them. Ah! here is mother now" —as Mrs. Livingstone entered the room. "Mother, Milton would like you and father, Cynthia and me to go to the theater with him to-night. He is taking a box —and Gerald will be with us, too." "What is the play?" Mrs. Liv ingstone asked. "I don't know, and neither does he, yet. He is going to see where he efca the best tickets, and will i report later. I told him to make it a oomedy if possible. X hate sad plays faod problem plays." Cynthia spoke timidly. "I have not been to the theater this winter, Aunt Amanda. Would you mind if I declined this time?" "Why should you decline?" her aunt demanded sharply. "Because I do not feel just like going—and because"—Cynthia look ed embarrassed and stammered, "because, yo usee—just now while I am in mourning" But -her aunt interrupted her. "You are very foolish in your ideas, Cynthia," she reproved. There was a silence, broken at last by Cynthia. "I will do as you think best, Aunt Amanda," she said. Inwardly she was reminding her self that this was the price she must pay for her dependence. When Mrs. Livingstone had gained her own way she could af ford to be magnanimous. "That's a good girl," she ap proved, patting Cynthia on the head as she passed her. "I hope the play will be so entertaining that you will find it well worth while to have set aside your rather ridiculous preju dices." Cynthia had seen neither Milton nor Gerald since the night of the accident. Both men had called the following evening to ask for her. At least her aunt had told her archly that "Milton came, of course, to see Dora, but his friend to in quire for Dora's cousin." Mrs. Livingstone had monopolized Stewart for the few minutes that he had remained, and had confided to him sundry interesting, if not quite veracious, fact about her hus band's niece. When he had taken his departure, leaving Van Saun alone with Dora, it had been with sufficient food for reflection. To-night the young people and the elderly couple were to go to and from the theater in the Living stone's car. Dora's parents insisted upon this in spite of the protests of their fu ture son-in-law. "You boys must do as we old peo ple say," Stephen Livingstone com manded. "That is all there is about it." Consequently, at 8 o'clock, the party of six left for the theater— Gerald assisting Mrs. Livingstone down the front steps, Milton, with his financee, while Stephen Living stone and his niece caitue last of all. "I am glad, my dear," Cynthia's uncle remarked as they descended the front steps together, "to note that you are trying to please your aunt and me. It may be a little hard at first, but it is what your father would have wished of. you. He would disapprove of your be coming a recluse." (To Be Continued Wednesday.)

I did not know he had gone away until one day I got a letter from him stating he was down South camp ing, and that he was so awfully busy that he would not be able to write so often. Every now and then I have received a letter from him, but he has never mentioned his suddail departure. I have heard he has been home on a furlough, but have neither seen nor heard from him. Again I receievd a letter from him (last week from camp), and he does not say he has had fur lough or why he did not call on me while home. Now what I would like to know is—should I answer this young man's letter? J. P. D. Of course, if your young lieuten ant were seriously interested in you he would, when home on furlough, want to see you. The fact that he has been a regular caller at your home, and is writing to you doesn't necessarily indicate that he is ser iously interested in you. So after all you have nothing to be offended about! With a clear understanding in your mind that he is simply a friend who enjoys hearing from you now and then, and that you are not in any way necessary to his happi ness, go ahead and answer his let ter, only don't deceive yourself into imagining you mean more to him than you actually do mean. Girls make their own unhappiness very often by trying to exalt a friendly acquaintance with a man into a love affair and then by resenting the fact that the man doesn't play up to the part assigned him. THEY MUST DECIDE Dear Miss Fairfax: My daughter is engaged. Her fiance is in the draft. As he has not been examined yet, he doesn't know if he has to go, but he ex pects to be called soon. They are thinking of getting married before he goes away. And as 1 don't know what to ad vise them I am putting it up to you. So please advise me. Sincerely, *A MOTHER. Of course you don't know what to advise them. No outsider can justifiably play Providence in such a case. But it seems to me that since your daughter's sweetheart has not yet been called for exam ination their case is vastly dierent <rom those I am generally called on to consider: viz, cases in which the soldier lad is already in active service at camp. If their love is well established and sincere, and they feel ready to face the long separation and loneliness and risk and sacrifice that such marriage en tails, it would be safe to proceed. But a mere engagement is a safer tie for the girl, and will still hold them to each other if they {ire nat urally faithful and loyal. SUSPICION Dear Miss Fairfax: I am nineteen and met a soldier who is about four or five years my senior. He has proved himself a gentleman and a good friend. After he left me he wrote newsy letters, which I answered. He Is now bound for France, so kindly tell me if it is proper, to write newsy letters or to discon tinue the correspondence alto gether. gether. A. Z. By all means write newsy, cheery letters to your soldier boy. During the time when men were sent from all parts of the country to the camps, there were married men who posed as single and girls who wantonly flirted with men regardless of possible home ties. But your friend ship is established, I fancy you must have known something of your friend from other soldiers in his company. It cannot hurt you to write friendly letters. LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED By MRS. WILSON WOODROW By MRS, WILSON WOODROW He is puzzled and bewildered. He has tried to do everything he thinks is fair and right, and he is in the middle of a deep blue muddle. . So he has written me a letter. Letters,' by the way, are charac ter revealing. This one is straight forward and well expressed. It shows that the writer is a man of kindly impulses and deep affec tions, one who in the adjustment of a difficulty is willing to go two tlijrds of the way to the other person's one-third. • This is his iife as he describes it. He is a driver, and he is paid good wages. These he turns over to his wife, withholding only enough for tobacco and minor ne cessities. He gets up at five in the morning and prepares his own breakfast. His working hours are ostensibly from six in the morning until five in the evening, but "five" is a mere term for any time when he gets through—sometimes it is eleven. If he gets home at a normal hour he finds his wife and baby all dress ed up and ready to go out. His wife insists that he accompany them on visits to friends and relatives, or else take them to the motion pic tures. If he demurs, because he has had an extra hard day, there are tears and tempers. If the quarrel ing is prolonged she goes to her rhother's, taking the baby with her, and does not return for a day or so. He asks this question: "Do you think a man who works sometimes from fourteen to sixteen hours a day at hard work is ready to go home and carry a baby around visiting, or sit at a show when ever.v muscle aches and rest and sleep seems the only and grandest tiling in the world?" "I feel like chucking up the whole business," he goes on, "and letting her do as she likss. But, Mrs. Wood row I have the grandest little baby, and I would rather stand anything that give it up." Oh, marriage is certainly a com plex affair. I wonder if his wife is one of those canary-bird women, or if she just hasn't yet looked the facts of life squarely in the face? The symbol and counterpart of a certain type of woman is the ca nary bird. It is a pretty, fluffy, silly little thing, quite content to hop about in its ornamental cage and twitter. It dreams of no indepen dent flights, or of seeking its own food, or of choosing its own loca tion for a nest. Its mind is occupied with its bath, the fish bone upon which it sharpens its bill, and such table delicacies as chickweed and bird seed. But the instinct of self-preserva tion, of rather self-interest, is im planted in its tiny brain. It sings for its living, and so it pays as It goes. It wouldn't have the orna mental cage and the if it didn't. It wouldn't get them if it were not for its light and exqui site song and the cat would get it. There are women who haven't the instinctive foresight of the canary. They want the equivalent of the ornamental cage and the chick weed, etc., but they refuse to burst into song. They have no Idea of the quid pro quo. This man's wife entered into a business partnership with him when she married • him. His agreement was to make the living: hers to ex pend it in maintaining their mutual home. But what is the reserve capital on which they both depend? It is the man's health. To preserve that, he requires nourishing, well-cooked and suf ficient food, proper hours of rest, decent, clean and comfortable sur- DON'T LET WIFE DIE OF LOCKJAW Warn her against cutting eorna ! because they can be lifted out. Women wear high heels which buckle up their toes and they suffer terribly from corns. Women then proceed to trim these pests, seeking relief, but they hardly realize the terrible danger from infetion, says a Cincinnati authority. Corns can easily be lifted out with the fingers if you will get from any drug store a quarter of an ounce of a drug called freezone. This is suf ficient to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. You simply apply a few drops of freezone directly upon the tender, aching corn. The soreness is relieved at once and soon the entire corn, root and all lifts out without pain. This is a sticky substance which dries in a moment. It just shrivels up' the corn without inflaming or even Irritating the, surrounding tis sue or skin. Cut this out yin. on your wife's dresser.

But this woman isn't thinking about the reserve capital. She is considering nothing but her own personal desires and pleasures and vanities. She isn't even thinking about the baby, when she drags it from pillar to post every evening to the unhealthy excitement of lights and voices and people when it should be sound asleep. • A certain amount of amusement is necessary to all of us. Why then does she not do her visiting in the afternoon? A suspicion comes to my mind that she does. But it only serves to whet her appetite for more. Wake up, little sister! I belisve, and your husband believes, and your baby believes that you are really all right, with the best intentions in the world, although you seem a bit thoughtless and inconsiderate. And against the belief of three, you know, nothing can prevail. THE "JERUSALEM OF RUSSIA" Kiev, through whose streets many armies have passed during the pres ent war, is in many ways a beauti ful town, and especially is this" true of the old quarter, which is built on a range of hills and bluffs overlook ing the vast low-lying country that stretches out, like the sea, to the skyline on the opposite side of the Pnieper. In the center of the old town stands the Cathedral of Saint Sophia, the oldest cathedral in Rus sia, with renowned golden cupola, a noted landmark for many miles around; whilst the main street, the Kreshchatik, contains many fine mod ern buildings. Then Kiev is a great educational center. It ranks in fact in this respect next to Moscow and Fetrograd. It has been called the "Jerusalem of Russia," and is still the center for the sugar industry in trade of the entire region round about. jNO MORE ~1 j FOOT MISERY} 1 ICE-MINT j A NEW DISCOVERY STOPS > !
