Life's Problems
|
Are Discussed
BY MRS. WOfiOX WOODROW
While on a brief visit to another
rity a friend obmine introduced me
to a girl who nad for a number of
years been studying the art of
gem-setting. - She had pursued it,
because of her love for it and be
caues she possessed a special ap
titude, but with no idea of using it
commercially.
Then her father suffered a series
cf reverses in his business and lost
wlmost everything he had. It was:
necessary for the girl to do her
ehare in supporting herself and as
sisting the family, and naturally
she fell back upon the craft to
which she had given so much study, i
Her work struck me as beautiful
end unusual. An adorable pin of
•unique design and set with opals
captured my fancy, and I expressed
rny admiration. Back in my mind'
■was the determination to have it,!
if it broke me.
"It's nice of you to like it," thei
girl said. "I think the design is
attractive. But it seems awfully i
presumptuous in me to be actual
ly starting out to sell my work, j
When I see the exquisite things thati
are done by real artists, my attempts [
look painfully amateurish. I am
very far from possessing the skill!
find finish I hope to attain."
Now, please bear in mind that she
liad something to sell. I- was a
chance customer, who admired her
•work and had every intention of
buying some of it. But this wasj
the psychological effect of her
words. A faint chill came over me.
I hesitated and looked at the pin
again, this time more critically. It
was a pretty thing, but it was not

The method here suggested for the
removal of superfluous hair is quick
end certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, a single appli
cation does the work. Make a stiff
paste with some powdered delatone
and water; apply this to the hairy
surface and after about 2 minutes
rub it off, wash the skin and the
hairs are gone. To avoid disappoint
ment. be sure your druggist sells
you delatone.

jto wear once or twice, and then j

I purchaser, I like to get my money's ;

, Still, if the workmanship was|
; crude and amateurish, why. I pre-!
j ferred to consider the matter a little;

t more dollars and go to an establish- \
| ment where I knew I was getting
J the best. I am not an expert on j

ing the merits of the ornament. So
I decided to abandon my whim and j
not buy at all.
She lost a sale and I did not get aj
pin I really wanted. I was no lons,-;

lon looking back over the matter, 1
think we were both foolish.
I think, too, that I should have ig- i
] nored the fact that I was a stranger:
to her, and then and there should]
have told her frankly just what she I
had done. She might have consid-j
ered me officious, but if she had any i
sense at all she would have thank-j
ed me and have profited by the ex
perience. I
I ought to have said to her: "Youj
have made a psychological blunder j
this morning, and if you continue to j
repeat it you wiH certainly land in'

In a sale there are two persons;

I eyes. And the next time he starts;
lout on a buying expedition he will:
i go to another shop where ome in

I really do not know which a pur

; languidly laid out before him as if
the salesman or saleswoman were too I

\ bought or not, or to be hypnotized
by a false show of enthusiasm into ,

THEFOUR OFHEARTS
A SERIAL, OF YOUTH AND ROMANCE
By VIRGINIA VAN DE WATER

I
CHAPTER LV |
I (Copyright. 1918, Star Company)
Mr. and Mrs. Livingstone had i
! tickets for the theater this evening-1
Therefore, soon after dinner, the I,
oar came for them and they went j
away, leaving Cynthia alone.
"Ton will not be lonely, however." ;
I Mrs. Livingstone remarked, smiling-
I ly. "For the Prince Charming will be
( here soon. I know you and he have
jmuch to talk about these days, for '
• the wedding is drawing rapidly near. .
j And under such conditions youns
; people find their plans a never-failing
i subject of conversation."
J The face into which she looked did
j not flush. Indeed, the matron fancied :
| tor a moment that it had
slightly. Cynthia was peculiar, she
j reflected. She. Mrs. Livingstone,
; would feel easier when the wedding
was over. She had worked hard to
! bring about this match. She was
| sure, of course, that it would come
j off all right, and yet the prospective'
I bride appeared so unenthusiastic and
| non-committal.
\ Cynthia, left to her own devices,
I walked uneasily up and down the
j drawing room, then strayed into the
j library. The Are was not lighted
here, for the evening was mild. The
, shaded lamps made the room very
[ attractive and cozy, but she did not
j sit down. A spirit of restlessness
possessed her.
j She went out into the hall and
• glanced up the stairs. Was Dora.
I awake? As if in answer to her
: question, Marie. Mrs. Livingstone's
maid, appeared in the door leading
to the rear of the house.
"Miss Dora's bell's Just rung."
she remarked. "I'll go up and see
what she wants."
Cynthia Goes
"Don't bother, Marie—-I'll go my
self," Cynthia said. "If she wants
you. I will ring again."
"Oh, Cyn, is that you?" Dora
asked as her cousin came into her
room. "I rang for Marie just to
find out where you were."
"I'm glad I came instead of Marie,
then," Cynthia rejoined. "Do you
want something to eat, dear?"
"No," Dora answered with a lit
tle shudder of disgust. "Mother
made me take some toast and tea
before I went to sleep. I have had
a long nap, and my head is better.
What are you doing this evening?"
j t "Nothing just now. Gerald is com
ing later, is there anything I can do
for you before then?"
"Yes," Dora admitted. "Come and
sit down here in the dark hy me
and talk to me. I'm awfully for
lorn."
"Are you sure I won't make your
head worse?" Cynthia queried.
'["Your mother wants you to keep
;; quiet."
; i "You will not make my head
; j.worse, and I don't care what Mother
; wants," Dora retorted. "What she
! does not know won't hurt her. And
! i she won't know you have been with
; | me." •
; Cynthia drew a chair up to the
; j side of her cousin's bed. "I am
'; sorry you have been suffering so,
I j dear." she sympathized.
; | "Oh—Cyn—it's not my head that
; j hurts!" the girl exelaimed. "It did
1 I ache, I acknowledge. But that was
> | only because I was so unhappy. I
! | may as well say it frankly—for I let

myself go this afternoon, so you *
know all about it. I don't want to
get married, Cyn." j
"Then why do you?" Cynthia
asked calmly.
"You know why!" the girl burst! '
forth. "Father and mother expect j
it. So does Milton."
"You don't love Milton."
The words were not accusatory, i i
They were more like the simple
statement of a self-evident fact.
l>ora Agrees With Her
"No, I don't," Dora agreed. "I
used to think that I cared enough
about him to marry him—but now i
I know 1 don't. Something—l can't
tell you what it is—has changed -
my whole viewpoint. I have put
it from me, and laughed at it, and
mocked at it —and now it has turned j
upon me and torn me to pieces.
Oh, Cyn—what shall T do?"
"Tell Milton the truth, Dora. That
is the honest and fair thing. You
would do him a foul injustice if you
were to marry him without loving
him. Why, Dora —it would be a sin."
"How do you know?" Dora de
manded. "You love Gerald—and no
wonder—but if you did not, would
you tell him you did not?"
There was a long silence. Then
Cynthia spoke.
"Dora—l would have to. If a man
married me without loving me I
would never forgive him."
Dora's hand sought hers in the
dark and gripped it tightly. "Do
you mean that, Cyn?"
"I mean just that, Dora," Cynthia
insisted.
"But if a man broke off his en
gagement to you because he did not
•l<rve you, would you not hate and
despise him?"
"Not if he told me the truth,"
Cynthia replied. "If I were very
much in love with him it would hurt.
But it woulfl not ruin my life as it
would were I to marry him without
loving him."
Another silence, broken at last by
Dora.
"I'have made up my hind," she
said in a low voice, "to tell Milton
the whole truth. And, Cynthia, do
you know, I don't believe it's going
to hurt him much. I—l—well, I
have seen men in Milton
was never like that.
"No," after a few minutes of
thought, "I am sure it will not hurt
htm. But" —with a sudden catching
of her breath—"think of what father
and mother will say! They will be
furious. I feel as if I were a little
girl who had disobeyed my parents
and must take my punishment ,not
as if I were free and twenty-one.
Oh, Cyn, I am frightened. They
have set their hearts upon my mar
riage to Milton, and the invitations
for a double wedding are all en
graved—and everything!'"
Before Cynthia could speak there
was a knock at the door.
"If you please. Miss Cynthia,"
Marie was saying, "Mr. Stewart's
calling."

TAKEN FROM PENSION
London —Mr. Hodge, in Parlia
ment, emphatically denied a sugges
tion that when a soldier is killed in
battle the cost of the blanket in
which he is buried is deducted from
the widow's pension. The idea, he
said, was a shocking one, and its
circulation was disgraceful to those
who made it.
