TUESDAY EVENING, # HAXRISBT7RG HMMHI TELEGRAPH JUNE 4, 1918. Little Talks by Beatrice Fairfax A girl of nineteen writes me that she Is "done with men." She is hurt and angry—her letter fairly quivers i ith wounded pride. She does not ealize she is only passing through •"a equinoctial of youth—one of those tornadoes that tear young hearts to tatters but never kill. She is too young, too lacking in experience to Know that her most golden days are :ihead, and that the youth of nineteen is worth a kingdom. She is seeing all the world and eternity, too. through the tear-dim med mist of her first heartache. I am sorry for her. but there is nothing to do but wait for time— that magic lotion—to allay the pain and at the same time to administer a dose of that great antidote, experi ence. It seems that my young friend worked in an office with a young man five years her senior, and from the beginning they were much at tractfd to each other. After a while the boy began mak ing love, very tentatively at first. He would put a rose on her desk and ask her to wear it if she were not absolutely indifferent to him. nnd she would wear the rose. Then there waj? the day when he kissed her back of the filing cab inet. and she didn't object—at least not enough to discourage him. The Affair Progressed He tol.l her that he loved her. They went to the "movies." the the ater. and to dinner Saturday even ings. and walked in the park on Sun day. There was a good deal more kissing as the affair progressed, and the girl writes me she regarded her self as engaged, though all this time he never definitely mentioned mar riage. But he would say sometimes, when they walked by an attractive house. "I wish we could afford to live there." And, "Perhaps, some day. I can afford to give you the house you deserve." All of which my correspondent regarded as to a betrothal ceremony. The poor child actually bought a hope chest" and began embroid ering centerpieces and bureau scarves and other dainty things in to which girls sew all the sweet, ten tier thoughts of home and the fu ture. Then, gradually, there were fewer walks in the park on Sundays, less theater and "movies" during the week, and less kissing back of the filins; cabinet! The sirl persisted in her belief >n the engagement and continued to work for the '"hope chest." Then, one awful day. a friend told her that her supposed fiance was going to marry the daughter of a wealthy man who lived near the friend in T suburb. His Idea of "Innocent Pun" My correspondent asked the young man if this were so. and after some INSPECTION # A SSINI SHOE POLISHES LIQUIDS AND PASTES.

From this mass of left-over waste material, toxins and ptomaine-like poisons, called uric acid, is formed and then sucked into the blood where it con tinues to circulate, collecting grain by grain in the joints of the body much like rust collects on the hinge as shown above. Men and *omen who sufTer lumbago, rheumatism or sore, stilt aching joints should begin drinking phosphated hot water, not as a means to magic relief from pain, but to prevent more uric acid form ing in the system. Before eating breakfast each morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in Bringing Up ,*■' *•* Copyright, 1918, International News Service *— * *•* By McM HUH! S ' , -■--l •J , j ~~' 'f pretty uncomfortable moments, he admitted the truth of the rumor. The girl asked him what he meant by his treatment of her, and he answered: "I'm awful sorry if you are hurt, but I thought we were just having a little innocent fun." The poor child was heartbroken. She went home and burned the con tents of her "hope chest." and gave herself up to utter wretchedness. Then she wrote me she was "done with men." and alt sorts of bitter things, besides. The girl was a victim of over confidence. She regarded the boy's casual love-making, what he called his "innocent fun" as sacredly bind ing. She took things too much for granted. She was assuming that conditions were the same as before girts went into offices to work for salaries. If a young man acted toward a girl in her father's house as my correspon dent describes, there would have been an accounting of her nearest male relative. The boy's behavior was bad enough from any standard, but times have changed, and there is a feeling that a girl in business ought to be able to take care of herself—and her emotions. The situation smacks of the busi ness maxim, "Caveat emptor"—let the buyer beware. Young girls in busines. too. must beware. They ere there not as damsels of old. re lying on the chivalry of knights and squires for protection. They are •vorking as efficient, responsible busi j ess people who are supposed to leave their emotions at home when they came to the office in the morn ing. Roth Stealing Time When the boy began to make love it. This will first neutralize and then wash out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's accumulation of toxins and poisons; thus, cleansing, sweeteniug. and freshening the entire alimen tary canal, each morning, before putting more food into the stomach. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to make any rheumatic or lumbago sufferer an enthusiast on the morning inside bath. Millions of people keep their joints free from these rheumatic acids by practicing this daily Inter nal sanitation. A glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate, drank before breakfast, is wonderfully invigorating; besides, it is an excellent health measure be cause it cleanses the alimentary or —>ns of all the waste, gases and so ir fermentations, making one look and feel' Clean, sweet and fresh all day. Those who try this for one week may find themselves free from sick headaches, constipation, bilious at tacks. sallowness, nasty breath and stomach acidity. to her during office hours, and kiss her back of the filing cabinet, both were stealing time that didn't be long to them, and both did wrong. The girl took her chance and she must now take her medicine. In allowing him to kiss her the boy decided that she. too. was having a little "innocent fun." It meant nothinsr in particular to him, there for it meant nothing in particular to her —from his point of view. If slie had refused to accept this casual love-making he would have gotten a different impression of her character, and there might have been another story to tell. Poor little thing—l hope her unhappiness won't last long, and next time she will know better. For there will be a next time, in spite of all her pro tests. You have to be twice nineteen before you realize how gloriously young nineteen really is. There '.s * whole world of beautiful sunshine before her. Perhaps she does not know it, but she has the most mag nificent possession life can give youth. She may not realize it, crying out her heart to-night, but there isn't an old dowager duchess who wouldn't give all the family jewels to change places with her. To be nineteen is a gift of the gods. Do Not Break Faith With Them An American who has just returned from Europe said. "The question I was asked the oftenest over there was this: 'ls it true that the Amer ican people without the enforcement of any laws or other restrictions are voluntarily giving up certain foods so that we may be fed?' "To them it seemed almost in credible that a great, luxury loving nation such as they know us Ameri cans to be. is of its own volition do ing without the foods which they need. "When I assured them it was true, however." continued the American. 1 "it seemed to encourage them and give them heart more than anything else I could have said." "It is wonderful," they would re peat over and over again. "The Americans are with us. They will not let us starve." If we can always remember this supreme and beautiful confidence of the Allies in our ability to feed them, it will glorify the little dally sacrifices we make in giving up wheat, in guarding our meat supply to make it go the longest way. and in watching over the sugar bow! and frying pan to see that no sugar or fats are wasted. For it is these little daily acts of thought and care by every one of us which make it possible for the Allies to have food. You will not break faith with those helpless ones across the water who trust you to feed them. The following receipts, tried and ap proved by the United States Food Administration, will be found help ful. the first in saving wheat and the second, as meat substitute dish: Rice Floor Shortcake 1 cup liquid, 6 to 8 tablespoons fat. 1 tablespoon sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 6 teaspoons baking powder. 2 1-2 cups rice flour. Method: Mix the dry ingredients, put !n the fa* and add liquid. For individual servings, place dough on slightly floured board, pat to 3-4 inch thickness and cut as for biscuit. Bake in hot oven. Serve as short cake with strawberries or other fresh fruit. Coilnje Cheese I-oaf With Beans Or Peas 1 CUD cottage cheese. 1-4 teaspoon soda to neutralise acid. 2 cups cooked beans, 1 1-2 cups boiled rice, 2 tablespoons chopped onion or 1-2 teaspoon onion Juice. 2 tablespoons savory fat, chopped celery or celery salt or pimentos, or Worcestershire sauce, or mixed poultry seasoning, 1 cup dry corn hread crumbs. Peas and small lima beans may j be used whole. Mash larger beans or put them through the meat chopper. Mix beans, cheese, bread crumbs, and seasoning together well and form into a roll. The roll should j be mixed very stiff, for it will become : much softer on heating. Bake In a moderate oven, basting occasionally with a well flavored fat. Serve with tomato or other sauce.

LIFE'S PROBLEMS ARE DISCUSSED By MRS. WILSON WOODROW "If this were only otherwise, I could be perfectly happy." That Is a recurrent phrase which I encounter in almost every letter I receive—"this" covering almost ev ery human woe from measles to mothers-in-law. And without a doubt the writers believe what they are saying; yet equally without doubt they are mis taken. Since the days of Adam men and women have been uttering that same cry. but whenever the especial bar or disability of which they com plained has been removed, they have soon found themselves as unhappy as before. A new worm appears in the aople, a new fly in the ointment. For. if anything at all has been proved about happiness, it is that it is in no way or degree depend ent upon circumstances. From the beginning man has persistently chased the "blue-bird," always be lie\ ing that if circumstances were' just right he would be able to cap ture and hold it; yet ever it eludes his cltching fingers and flutters just ahead. Circumstances! Sometimes, under • the most adverse conditions, it will I perch for a moment on the seeker's ' hand, although not to be perma nently seized; again, when every , thing seems most favorable, it will j soar farthest away. Riches are no i certain snare for it. nor love, nor ' health, nor peace, nor virtue, in spite lof the old adage, nor any of the other things we are accustomed to j count as blessings. A noted millionaire, who had ap ■ parently never known a wish un i gratified and who had been feted and j courted and flattered all his life, on returning from a trip abroad a few ; years ago, said to the reporters in a I moment of self-revelation: "I am I the most miserable man alive." ! And. contrariwise. Dickens paints i Sydney Carton, drunken and disap j pointed failure, as beautific in the j shadow of the guillotine, exalted by | his supreme self-sacrifice. A thousand formulas have been j laid down for attaining happiness; I but the truth is that it follows no formula. People find it in the ! strangest places and on the most un ! likely occasions—in moments of agonizing pain, in the heady whirl of a hopeless fight. In poverty. In solitude, even in the hour of disso lution. And the reason is that happiness |ls always individual. What is one man's meat is another man's poison. I As Arnold Bennett has recently said, I each of us must define happiness for I himself, for to each one happiness consists in the realization of his d'eam or desire, and our dreams and 1 desires differ according to our re i spective characteristics and temper | aments. Consequently, the ordinary diction ary definitions for happiness, "pros perity," "good fortune." 'a state of Daily Dot Puzzle 77 y/~> X •" Y * ' t t/ \ *• s •*<> * •! T *J 9* " •!> J? T r - 34 14 * \ to A# • A 1 is sitting In a tree; Fifty lines it takes to see. Draw from one to two and ao oil to th ini well-being," are absurd upon their face. Mr. Bennett himself considers that tho only foundation for happi ness lies in a full utilization of all one's faculties. "In my view." he says, "happiness includes chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full, hon est effort." And along the same line is this sentence from Chambers, which by a coincidence I just hap pened to notice at the head of the memorandum pad upon my desk: "The three great requisites for hap piness are something to do. some thing to love and something to hope for." Very good. Still how about those proverbial images of happiness—a cat basking in the sunshine and a ragged negro drowsing in the corner of a watermeton patch? Do the cat and the negro express the satisfac tion that comes after full, honest effort? Is there felicity due to the fact that they have something to do, something to love and something to hope for? A better Way. It seems to me, to decide on what constitutes happi ness is first to settle on what it is not— in other words, to resolve un- happiness into its elements, and that in my mind can be done in a single word. For there is no woe. misfortune or evil in the world, whether It be caused by a jealousy, or selfishness, or anger, or poverty, or illness, or crime, that cannot be traced direct ly or indirectly to fear. Happiness, then, in the last analy sis, must be simply the perfect as surance that comes from an ab sence of fear. The bubbling joy of childhood, the nearest approach to simon-pure happiness that we know in this life, comes from the child's lack of fear, his trusting confidence. Indeed. Mr. Bennett himself in the article which I have already quoted, says: "No one can possi bly be satisfied, and therefore no one can in any sense be happy who feels that in some paramount affair he has failed to take up the chal lenge of life. For a voice within him which none else can hear but which he cannot choke, will con stantly be murmuring: 'You lacked courage. You hadn't the pluck. You ran away." " That's It. It's the sense of cow ardice. not the sense of failure or of loss or of deprivation that pro duces unhappiness; and conversely, happiness lies in the conquest of our fears. For which that accom plished. circumstances will take care of themselves. The barriers and disabilities which seemed most unyielding will vanish Into noth ingness. CLOCK TO BE GIVE> AT KIWAMS LI'XCH Henry C. Claster, jeweler, 302 Mar ket street, will be the donor of a clock as an attendance prize at the weekly Kiwanis Club luncheon to be held at noon to-morrow at the Elks' Club.

Helen, who was vainly trying to hurry, in the midst of dressing sud dently broke her shoe string. "O, dear!" "What's the matter now?" asked Warren, coming in. "Good heavens, what have you been doing since I was here last time? You were dress ed that far long ago." "My shoe string just broke and I haven't^another pair." "What's the matter with your low shoes? Now that it's the weather for low shoes you're wearing high ones. You women are certainly the limit." "My low shoes are at the repair shop." "Have you only one pair?" Helen turned from the glass de terminedly. "Now, see here, War ren, if you're going to cross-examine me this way, I'll never be ready." "Oh, all right, but we'll be so late that there won't be any use of going at all." And Warren stamped out. Helen proceeded to dress. She got out her second best pumps and slipped them on with a rueful look at her feet which she liked to see at their best when she went out any where, and then she went to the closet for her taffeta dress. It hung on the hanger fresh from the clean er's and Helen shook it out lightly ,and slipped it over her head. Half the hooks and eyes were oft, but with a reckless disregard for how things looked underneath, Helen stuck pins in wherever they were needed. At last she was ready she thought with a sigh of relief as she viewed herself in the mirror. No, what was that? As she lifted her arm, a space of white flesh showed alarmingly. "The sleeve is torn out." she gasped aloud, a sob in her throat. Then, as she began to get out of the dress, the tears of nervousness began to run down her face. "Warren," she called, going to the | door, "I've just discovered that my | dress is torn. You'll have to go on without me, or we'll have to stay home." "What on earth have you been doing all day? Why couldn't you have discovered these things earl ier?" snapped Warren. "I'ni sure I don't know what you do with your time. I always have to wait around for you every time we go anywhere. No system; no order about anything in this house." "What are we going to do about it?" said Helen. In the midst of her nervousness she could still afford to ignore the unfair attitude that War ren chose to assume and look to the excuse that would have to be made to the Daltons. To call off an en gagement at the last moment like this was unpardonable, ljut not half so much so as it would be to keep a dinner waiting while she mended the dress or stopped to get another one ready. Warren was already at the tele phone explaining and apologizing, while Helen on the other side of the door listened to the polite falsehoods. The slamming down of the receiver sent her back to the dressing table, and the next minute Warren strode into the room, took off his coat and threw it across the bed and got into his smoking jacket. "Don't ever make another dinner QUALITY made these three "Dromedary" foods famous. Economy and convenience made them popular. Get a package of each today and learn how good they are! Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn uses Dromedary Cocoanut, Dromedary Dates and Dromedary Tapioca in her lec ture demonstrations. THE HILLS BROTHERS COMPANY, NEW YORK engagement for me," he growled I just before he left. "When you can I get your clothes ready a day in ad vance, so that we can keep an ap-| pointment, let me know." Helen slipped into a kimono and sat down by the window to let her nerves calm down. The evening breeze swept in and ruffled the cur tains. Everything was strangely quiet, and a feeling of peace began to settle down over Helen's heart. Her mind began to run over the oe rences of the evening. In a way Warren had been right fibout not let ting things go till the last minute. She began to see things from his angle. No wonder he was cross, expect ing to go out to dinner and then having to break the engagement because of her tardiness. What a dear he had been, to, to take the entire thing on his own shoulders and to tell Mrs. Dalton that a nerv ous headache had prostrated Helen at the last minute. What had made her think he was unjust? Too often things happen through her own carelessness, and without stopping to reason she blamed Warren and nursed a secret grief down deep in her heart. With a sudden resolution she stole out into the living room and dropped down beside Warren where he was seated reading the paper. "Dear, I'm sorry; It was all my fault." "What's that—your fault? Well, suppose it was; I needn't have been HO nasty about it." And throwing the paper to the floor, Warren drew her up to his knee. "Pretty com fortable, eh?" he said, after a quiet moment. Helen nestled closer to htm. "And I'm glad we didn't go any iy. I wasn't keen about it, were Helen shook her head. Her mind was busy with a new idea. For the tirst time in her life she had rea soned with herself, had forced her self out of her hurt attitude. It had worked splendidly with Warren, and, best of all, it offered a new method for solving disagreements in the future. Certain she was that Warren loved her and that she loved Lemon Juice For Freckles Girls! Make beauty lotion at home for a few cents.
