Life's Problems
Are Discussed
1 BV MRS. WILSON* WOODKOW
I wrote one article on the subject
of a letter recently by a
writer who signed herself "A Super
fluous Old Lady." and I couldn't be
gin to say all I wanted to in the
space, so I am continuing.
I don't believe there are any su
perfluous people in the world. We
are all here for some reason and
purpose and we all have some lit
tle niche to fill which would be
either too large or too small for
anyone else.
This writer stated among other
things that there are hundreds of
thousands of old ladies who are
"treated as if they were scarcely
possessed of human intelligence,
bossed and patronized by their up
to-date daughters and sons until
they cannot call their souls their
own."
I am not attempting to advise
older women than myself as to the
manner In which they should rule
their 'lives. That would be an im
pertinence on my part. I am only
combatting the attitude which this
writer takes.
The women who allow them
selves to be "bossed and patronized
by their up-to-date daughters and
sons" do not seem to realize that
all experience is a matter of cause
and effect: that our lives are mainly
spent in reaping what we have sown.
The way a child treats his par
ent is a matter of habit. A mother
cannot order her children to ad
mire and respect her and show her
proper consideration and expect to
have her orders fulfilled unless she
Is worthy or respect and admiration
and consideration.
A year or two ago I made the ac
quaintance of a mother and daugh
ter who were spending a month or
two away from home. The daugh
ter was enjoying all the gayeties
and amusements of the plaae. but
the mother spent most of her time
in her room, where she sewed and
mended and pressed with an elec
tric iron the daughter's noticeably
pretty frocks. "I want my little
girl to have a good time while she
is young," she would say as an ex
cuse for her own seclusion. It
never seemed to enter her head that
she was limiting enjoyment to just
one period of life.
It was always on the tip of my
tongue to ask, "And why can your
daughter not have a good time

| Tells howto lift off that touchy ?
corn without hurting

N
Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority, who
tells you that a quarter ounce of a
drug called freezone can be obtained
at little cost from the drug store but
is sufficient to rid one's feet of ev
ery hard fir soft corn or callus.
! You simply apply a few drops of
this freezonq on a tender, aching
com and the soreness is instantly
relieved. Shortly the entire corn can
be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
This drug is sticky but dries at
once and is claimed to Just shrivel up
any corn without inflaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or
skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.

Bj VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER
CHATTER XLVI
Copyright, 1918, Star Company
"Sit down, boys." Stephen Living- I
stone said, genially, as he resumed j
his chair after the ladies had passed |
from the dining room. "Have a |
cigar."
He pushed forward the cigar box .
and drew a long breath of pleasure, j
"This is comfortable," he com- j
mented. "I am glad both you qhaps
are satisfied with thf plans we Jave
made. I consider myself fortunate j
in having such a son-in-law and I
nephew-in-law in prospect.
"By the way, Stewart." turning to j
Gerald, "I hope you succeeded in '
making Cynthia see things my way
this afternoon?"
Gerald Stewart hesitated. Milton |
moved uncomfortably.
"Po I intrude?" he asked. "If so \
I will go on and talk with the la- '
dies."
"Not at all, my boy," Livingstone |
surred him. "You are like one of >
the family now, snd I do not mind '
you knowing the truth. I called ]
at Stewart's office to-day and asked j
him to try to persuade Cynthia to let i
me pay for her wedding. I have '
made a concession In allowing her ;
to get her own trousseau—but she [
insisted upon doing that. She also ,
wished to pay all other expenses. ,
That I forbade. She cannot afford
it."
"Poor girl!" The exclamation !
was Milton's and was fraught with j
so much feeling that Stewart turned !
his head to look at him. But his !
only comment was—"Right you are,
Van!"
"Yes, indeed, it was hard."
Stephen Livingstone admitted, "yet
not as hard as it would have been
had she'not had me to look out for
her, and if she had not been so I
happy as to fall in love with a man i
who is abundantly able to provide j
for her. But when she accepted j
Stewart she did not know this." he
hastened to add.
Neither man .spoke. Mr. Living- j
stone cleared his throat before pro- I
ceeding.
"You can readily understand that j
as she is my dead < sister's only |
child, I want to do all I can for her. i
Therefore. I insisted on paying for ;
her wedding. She objected so strenu- |
ously to this that I asked Stewart I
to use his influence with her, with- j
out telling her that I had suggested 1
his doing so."
"There was no need of my exert- •
ing my influence —if I have any," j
Stewart remarked dryly. "Cynthia !
had already made up her mind to do I
as you ask.''
"Good!" Livingstone ejaculated.
"I am glad she is so sensible. I
want it to be understood' that I
mean to do as well for her as for
my own daughter."
A train an awkward silence. Mr. !
Livingstone gave a short laugh. He j
must do something to relieve the j
stiffness of the situation. Hs felt !
unaccountably ill at ease, as if in
the presence of young and critical
judged. Yet why should they Judge j
him ? They must see that he was

niece T Well, he would take an
other line of conversation—would
jest oft this incomprehensible con
straint.
"\ou fellows can't imagine what
an anxious tjme my wife had the
other day," he said with his most
agreeable smile., 'She made a
funny mistake, though at the time
it did not seem funny.' I must tell
you about it. It is too good a joke
to keep from you two who are most
nearly concerned."
The tension was lessened. The
men appeared more at ease and
looked expectantly at their.host as
he left the realm of personal and
private matters.
"It was the afternoon on which
you and Cynthia became engaged,
Stewart," Mr. Livingstone continued,
"that the funny mistake occurred.
It seems that my wife had left Cyn
thia at Milton's father's house, then,
after stopping to make a call some
where. came on home herself. As
she climbed our front steps, she
glanced at the library window. It
was almost dusk, and the only light
in the room came from an open fire.
Against the background of flames,
she saw two figures.
"My poor wife stopped in hor
ror. She recognized Gerald in an
instant; moreover slje knew that
Milton was still downtown, for he
had said he would not be here
until after dinner. And Gerald
was—well —he had his arms about
the girl, and her head was on his
shoulder! Cynthia was, suppos
edly, out. Dora was at home! Im
agine the mother's agony!"
lie stopped to laugh. Milton was
staring at him fixedly. Gerald was
lighting a cfgar and seemed to be
having trouble in making it drew.
Yet he managed to smile in spite
of his violent puffs at the refrac
tory weed.
"Well, my distressed wife came
rushing up to my den—full of con
sternation. Dora and Gerald !
Think of it ! and all that kind
of stuff. She was almost hysterical.
I acknowledge that I. myself, was
pretty well
""What shall X do?' she wailed, j
after we had discussed the matter '
for a full quarter -of an hour. 'Go •
down to the library and face them.'l
I advised.
"She did as I directed, but when i
she reached the library door and j
called Dora, who should emerge but |
Cynthia! Dora had been upstairs j
all the afternoon! You can fancy
our relief. I wasn't going to tell j
you fellows, but it seemed too good >
a joke to keep quiet. And that was i
the way my wife knew that j
Cynthia was engaged to you, St4w- |

mistake now. but for awhile it seem

Dinner at Elks Club

Advice to the Lovelorn
n r BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
SHE SHOULD MEET HIM
DEAR, MISS FAIRFAX:
I am 22. I met a young man last
fall, and have gone out with him
seyeral times since. I met all his
family and have grown very fond of
his sisters, whom I see very often. I
enjoy his company very much, since
he is well educated and talented.
Every time I go out with him there
is a terrific "storm" at my house, as
my mother greatly objects to him
simply because his father was born
in Italy and we are all Americans.
!?he has never met him and refuses
to do so.
Now. I love my mother dearly and
hate to make her unhappy, but as 1
have had a college education I am too
broad-minded to see the logic of her
point. We are friends only. That is
Clearly understood.
H. C.
Your mother is wrong, if, as you
say, her only objection to your friend
is that his father was born in" Italy.
This is the melting pot of all na
tions. Most of us have either Italian
fathers. French grandfathers or Eng
lish great-grandfathers! From this
heritage real Americans are evolved.
Italy is a magnificent country who
has sent us splendid human material.
And even if this lad himself had been
born in Italy he might be a true
American citizeu with a fine back
ground of old world culture and in
teresting Italian traditions. Italy has
contributed great citizens to the
world. Some"~of the truest aristocrats
I know are Italians. What is your
mother's idea of an Italian?
In fairness to you and to a friend
ship which is enjoyable and worth
having, your mother ought to meet
this young man. First of all, she
ought to conquer her prejudice
against "foreigners," and secondly,
she ought to cure herself of the

Are You Doing Any Good?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Through desire to help a way
ward girl, who wandered from her
| home, then lost her position, the
I writer on her departure to New
| York offered her his card, telling
her if she ecer needed advice or aid
j even "financially, to call on him. The
j above happened last summer. Since
! then we have been corresponding,
j the girl wandering from city to city,
; never once going home, where I un
| derstand she would not be welcome.
I My object in writing you 1s to ask
! if, now that I am engaged to an
| other, girl, should we still keep up
! our writing, my letters to her being
I only words of cheer.
JOHN P.
I Perhaps your letters really at e
j helping this girl. It may be that
| the feeling tlrit somebody trusts.her
; and believes that there is good in her
j nature is giving her strength, and
jso if you were to stop writing to
i her it might harm her. I do not
j want to risk advising you to do this,
iin spite of the fact that I rather
j doubt your "having any influence in
; this way. But you must at once tell
| your fiance about it and not risk the
I ugly complications that will come
) up were she to find out and niisun
i derstand. Perhaps when you are
i married, you and your wife will be
! In a position to befriend the girl ac
-1 tively and to really help her along
j the path toward useful living. But
I you may be mistaken about the
i whole situation and there are two
things I beg of you to do at once.
Explain it fully to the girl you in-
9
tend to marry, and keep your letters
friendly, impersonal and such as one
man might write to another rather
than the compromising sort an ideal
istic youth might write to a girl of
whom he disapproves, but who nev
ertheless fascinates him a bit.
