Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax The following: letter came to me the other day, and as It implies a slight misconception in regrard to some of the things I have written about women continuing to work aft er marriage, I shall answer it at length: • "PEAR MISS FAIRFAX: "Tou have written so much lately I about women 'holding their jobs' j after marriage that 1 should like to ! ask you a few questions. "Don't you think it is a better ar- ! rungement when the woman stays ; home and keeps house and cares for ; the. children, when there are any, in- ! stead of going out and helping to ; earn the family living? "That's the way it used to be in my home, and I hope it's going to be like that with me some day, but I must say there are no such pros- | pects at present. I am employed in '■ a Government office, and I'm not > 'crazy' about it. Certainly. I should i i.ot, like to continue there if I do marry. I am now 38. and there seems nothing ahead for me but work. Yours sincerely, "ROSEMARY." j To begin. Rosemary, I do think it a better arrangement when the worn- ; an stays home and keeps house, the way your mother and father did, and ' the nian goes out and'earns the fam- ' ily living. But that happy state ef affairs is getting to be more and j more difficult for people of moderate | incomes, owing to the high cost of j Jiving. Not very long ago, with strict economy, a hundred dollars a month ■would suffice for a small family. That was about the average salary for a Government employe, and. once on a time, it could be stretched and squeezed into covering the family budget, but now it leaves in its wake a. trail of debts and anxieties, when devoted toward that end. I am speaking, of course, of the erst of living in big cities, where ev erything must be bought and paid ! fcr, not life on a farm, where food- I sluffs may be raised. But of the two alternatives —a j lonely and sterile old age. or home j •life where husband and wife both i work—'the latter seems to me infl- j riltely preferable. With youth, j health and love any miracle is pos- i sible, and you must not leave out of j the question the tremendous incen- j tive to doing one's best that home | and children bring. They are the ; great spur that has made the world take all the high hurdles. legislators all over the world arej CHILDREN Should not be "dosed" j lor colds—apply "ex (J ternally"— T P ■ tody tnTowr Hctw 'V [ I Typewriter | 1 DESK j IH '29 50 *I jjl A very exceptional of | fcr!

TELEGRAPH THEFOUR OFHEARTS A SERIAL OF \*OLTII AND ROMANCE By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER CHAPTER XI, (Copyright, 1918, Star Company) The atmosphere in the Livingstone household was determinedly cheer ful." yet a sensitive person would have perceived that it was strained. Cynthia, acting the part expected of her, was conscious that others be sides herself were playing roles that were not natural to them. Dora looked pale, yet her tongue ran on faster than ever. Cynthia suspected that this lo quacity was forced, but was at a loss to understand why Dora should simulate vivacity if she did not feel it. Perhaps she was still a little hurt that Gerald and his betrothed had not confided in her sooner. Cynthia consoled herself with the comforting reflection that her cousin cculd not hold resentment long. Moreover, Dora was as affectionate as ever. But it was plain that there was on her mind something which, In spite of her usual frankness, could not be uttered. Mr. Livingstone was much absorbed in business these days, and. when at home, talked little. Mrs. Livingstone went about with a stereotyped smile and patted Cynthia's shoulder ap provingly whenever she passed her, crlling her "a dear child." Milton's congratulations were not what Cynthia had expected from him. The first time they met after the an nouncement of her engagement he 1 shook hands with her and said for mally: "I wish you happiness, Cynthia. I have already congratu lated Stewart. He is a fortunate man." He had not met her eyes with the direct gaze to which she was ac customed. Under these circumstances it was not strange that her "Thank ycu!" had a forced sound. His manner disappointed her. He and she had been such good friends that she had always felt she could count upon him. Yet he might be rt.aking matters easier for her by treating her as a mere acquaintance. While she realized that she did not love Gerald Stewart, her appreciation Increased each time that she saw him. He could certainly not be called ar. ardent lover, for which she was grateful. He must care for her, else why had he confided his affection for her to her aunt, and why had he a; ked her to marry, him? Dora la Whimsical He did not bother her with his at tentions. but called yrhen she found It convenient to see him. He always asked permission before corning, a fact at which Dora smiled whim sically. "Gerald is certainly an accommo dating person," she remarked one day. "He lets you tell him when he may come and when he must stay away. As for you. Cyn, I don't think you arc any more romantically in love than I am." Mis. Livingstone, who chanced to te present, voiced her approbation. "I have said before. Dora, with re gard to you. that I am glad that you and Milton are not a pair of silly lovers. I can say the same thing now of Cynthia and Gerald. They have chosen each other out of all the world, but that does not mean that they are sentimental idiots.

Draw from one to two and so on to the end. nil'st confess even to Cynthia's face that I admire their manner. lOach keeps the respect of the other by such a demeanor, and they make things pleasantcr for. all observers." "Is that the way you and Father behaved when you were engaged?" Dora questioned. "I hope it is—indeed, I am sure it is," her mother replied. "We were assuredly not a lovc-sick couple. We were more than ordinarily K ood friends, whoso affection for each oth er Increased steadily after marriage. That is as It should be. I have no faith in the hot love that cools soon. The sane, calm kind is the kind that endures even after youth has flown." 'lt fs not what I used to believe In, nevertheless," Dora muttered. Her mother looked at her inquir ingly. She had not caught the sen tence, yet thought it wiser not to ask to have it repeated. "By the way," Mrs. Livingstone continued, with the manner of elab orate indifference that betokened the introduction of a carefully planned ! roposal, "your father, Dora, and I had a long talk last night. He-asked me to tell you girls the result of that conversation when 1 had you two alone with me." A 1)ul>lr WeildliiA' Dora looked up quickly. "Spring It!" she exclaimed. Her mother frowned. "Dora! That Is vulgar slang! I hate it. It is most unbecoming." "Excuse me, Mother—but please I tell me what you have been plan ning." Cynthia was looking at her aunt ouestioningly. Something—lt may have been intuition—warned fier that a well-matured plan was about to be unfolded. Mrs. Livingstone, meeting her niece's eyes, flushed slightly and ccvghed deprecatingly. "Your uncle, Cynthia, wanted me to ask you, and, of course, you also, Dora—what you girls would think of having a double wedding?" Cyjithia did not move. She was thinking fast. Dora spoke impetu ously. "Why, it is simply not to be thought of, Mother,"- she declared— "unless we postpone my wedding. But," as if a happy idea had 'occur red to her, "we could do that easily, cculdn't we?" "We certainly cannot and will net," her mother contradicted promptly. "You are to be married in May. We could have the double wedding on the date set for your marriage. Why not?" "Because Cynthia has not made a single preparation," Dora argued. "She is only just engaged. Ail her clothes would have to be fitted and made." "She is just your size, so the order for all of your things could be du plicated for her." Mrs. Livingstone announced. "She can begin at once to give orders for her trousseau, i Dora, don't raise objections! Your j father and I see none. Cynthia—why j den't you express an opinion on the subject? What is the matter, my dear child?"

Civil Service Attacked by Mayor Said to Be Based on Rules of Other Cities Owing to the fact that some forms had been mislaid and that he did not know there was any particular hurry, said Secretary to the Mayor Backcnstoss yesterday, the reports of lines and forfeitures collected by the Mayor's office were returned to the office of Superintendent of Ac counts and Finance Burtnett so slow ly that that official had to make a request that they be speeded up. In seme cases it was shown that the reports were not turned in until six weeks after the end of the month.

In seme cases it was shown that the reports were not turned in until six weeks after the end of the month. The law requires that they be iiled each month. City Clerk Ross Seaman, chairman of the Police Civil Service Board, de clared in answer to recent remarks from tiie Mayor's offico regarding the inefficiency of the civil service examinations that, while the law j.asscd by the Legislature is not ade quate, the questions compiled by his board were compiled only after care ful consideration with the examina tion lists of similar boards in other cities. Prospect of Hospital For Crippled Workers Improves Delegates to the sixth annual con ference of Industrial Physicians and Surgeons of Pennsylvania left Har risburg to-day, e'nthusiastlc over the progress made at this session. Not at any previous meeting was there such rousing zeal displayed for the establishment of hospitals where crippled industrial workers may be rehabilitated. The idea has been discussed, but never advocated so strongly. Dr. Francis C. Patterson, chief of the Division of Industrial Hygiene and Engineering of the state, prac tically promised that the state would take over these reconstruction hos pitals after the war and make them permanent state institutions. Harry A. Mackey, chairman of the Workman's Compensation Board, of fered the suggestions that this Board be made a separate and distinct de partment of the administration in stead of a part of the Department of and Industry, and that the State Legislature enact a health in surance law. Mr. Mackey urged that the provi sions of the law be extended to cover railroad employes and farmers. The first, the speaker declared, must be accomplished through Congressional action, while state legislative action would brini about the second. SAYS HE BORROWED I'MBIIEIJ.A E. N.
