CHAPTER XLI
Douglas Wade's line of reasoning
only proved the truth that a man In
love sees all things from his own
particular angle of vision.
Had this been otherwise he would
have appreciated that Elizabeth
could take no pleasure in revealing
her identity to the man to whom she
had for weeks now posed as "Lizzie
Moore."
He would also have understood
that the news of his engagement
would change the whole future out
look for her.
But the happy lover did not com
prehend this. He could not.
As once before. hiß letter to his
sister was addressed direct to her.
not Inclosed in an envelope to Amos
Chapin. Douglas would have argued
that there was no longer need for
secrecy, as Butler would soon know
the truth.
In his letter to Elizabeth, Doug
las informed her that Alicia was
writing to her brother announcing
her betrothal. John's mother was
also writing to him about it.
"I have confessed to them the
scheme of which you and I have
been guilty," Douglas wrote. "They
have promised not to mention this
yet to John. As you are on the
ground, you are the best judge of
when he should he told of it. You
know much better than I can at
this distance just what his nervous
condition is, and if he will be upset
or annoyed when he learns of our

FRIDAY EVENING.
little plot. So take your own time
about explaining it.
Following this paragraph were as
surances of the brother's regard for
his sister. He also expressed his
thanks to her for all that she had
done to aid and abet him in his
scheme this summer. He was hoping
that before long they might have a
long talk together. He did not know
when that would be. He could not
be married for at least six months.
Before then Elizabeth and he must
meet and discuss their plans.
"As soon as you finish your col
lege course, you are to come to live
with us," he added.
Not to Her likbig
Women are complex creatures.
Men are built along more direct
lines. Therefore, Douglas Wade
would have been astonished could he
have seen Elizabeth's expression of
countenance as she finished the pe
rusal of this letter.
"Live with him and his wife!" she
muttered. "Never!"
Then she was ashamed of her bit
ter feeling as she remembered Doug
las' unfailing kindness and the sacri
fices he had made for his little sister.
It was perfectly natural and right
that he should fall in love. She
should have expected nothing else.
She had even urged him to do this
very thing.
Deliberate and honest self-exami
nation showed to her the humiliat
ing fact that she was jealous of the
girl to whom her brother had given
his heart. Elizabeth was hot with
mortification as she appreciated this.
She would do what she could to
atone for her meanness.
The penance she set for herself
was the writing of two letters.
One was to Alicia Butler. In this
she said that Douglas had just writ
ten to her of his great happiness,
and she expressed the wish that
Alicia would think of Douglas' sister
as of a friend who hoped some day
to be a sister in heart as well as in
name.
"That's done!" Elizabeth sighed
when she had finished the letter.
"Now I will write to dear old Doug
las. That task will be easier."
But it was not easier, as she real
ized when she re-read his epistle.
On its first perusal, the big fact
of his engagement had taken such
hold upon her mind that she had
not understood that he was almost
decided to sell the farm, unless
something unforeseen prevented
Which meant that even this semi
home would be taken from his sis
ter.
Elizabeth also read now compre
hendingly two other statements that
had seemed at first of less impor
tance than her brother's betrothal.
One of these was that the women
of the Butler family were writing
to their son and brother telling him
of the engagement.
The other was that it devolved
upon her, Elizabeth, to confess her
identity to Butler himself.
A Deep Puzzle
Three things occupied her
thoughts during the next few hours.
First—Butler probably knew by
now that Wade was going to marry
his sister.
Second —He would soon know who
Elizabeth was and might hate her
for her system of deception.
Third—Amos Chapin might buy
the farm.
This last possibility would not be
come a certainty just yet. In his
letter, Douglas had said he would
give Amos no definite answer until
hearing from his sister.
She felt that she could not yet
write frankly on the subject of part
ing with the old home. She must
have time to think of it from all its
angles.
So, instead of the letter she had
expected to send, she wrote only a
brief note congratulating her broth
er, expressing her love for him and

her best wishes for him, and prom
ising to write within a week or so
with regard to the other matter he
had touched upon in his epistle.
"This has certainly been a letter
writing period all around." she mut
tered when she had sealed her en
velope to Douglas. "Amos wrote to
Douglas; Douglas wrote to me. I to
him and his Alicia, and Alicia and
her mother to Mr. Butler.
"Now it rests with me to carry on
the work begun. Perhaps by this
time next week John Butler and I
will not be on speaking terms."
A sensation of panic as she con
templated that contingency made
her other worries seem less serious
than they had seemed a while ago.

No. 22. Does Your Baby Suck His Thumb?
(Copyrighted, 1918, by The Parents Association, Inc.)
YOU know how much easier it
is to prevent a habit than to
break it after it is established.
And again you know how much
easier it is to break a new habit
than an old one.
But we don't always act according
to our knowledge.
If you see an undesirable habit
beginning to develop in your child,
start a proper campaign against it
immediately. If a habit already ex
ists, remember that it is more easily
broken to-day than to-morrow.
One mother writes to me:
"Our little two-year-old girl at
twenty minutes of age, began to suck
her thumb. Bitter applications such
as aloes or quassia have no effect.
How can I break the habit?"
Inasmuch as this little girl has
practiced thumb-sucking for so long,
there is only one way possible to
break the habit and that is by prac
tically constaht supervision for sev
eral days.
At night, pull both her sleeves
down over her hands and pin them
securely with a safety pin, until you
are sure she can be trusted without
taking this precaution.
To break the habit in the day
time, have her sit on your lap when
she is in a happy mood and lodge
the suggestion deeply into her mind
that she is to keep her thumb out
of her mouth. Start to put your own
thumb up to your mouth, but be
fore getting it quite these, dash it
down with great emphasis, and then
immediately shake your head and
frown as if you had tasted something
bitter. Look down at your thumb,
then look the child in the eye and
shake your head slowly but with
firmness.
For at least three or Tour days
scarcely allow the child to be out
of your sight a minute. Manage to

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX
If you have not a good voice, you
have deliberately neglected a tre
mendous advantage on the high road
to success, and one that is within
the grasp of everybody.
From the beginning of time poets
have sung of the music of women's
voices and, incidentallly, given the
sex a highly valuable tip in regard
to one of its most fascinating at
tributes. Nothing makes so strong
an appeal to the emotions as a beau
tiful voice. It works magic for its
happy possessor and yet, how many
women stab the ear with the raucous
tones of their voices?
Actresses of no very great ability
have turned the scales in their fa
vor and achieved the utmost suc
cess- by reason of agreeably cultivat
ed voices.
While actresses of note have kept
the fickle public true to them for
years on account of fine voices, Sar
ah Bernhardt's hold on three gen
erations of theatergoers is undoubt
edly due to her world-famous "gold
en voice.'<
Ethel Barrymore's few deep notes,
carefully developed, turned what
might have been merely an unpleas
ant huskiness into a highly valuable
"trademark." With the result that
half the novices on the stage having
good natural voices attempt to
"talk Ethel Barrymore" without
realizing it was her intelligence and
talent that turned a bad organ into
an attractive one. Billie Burke has
a delightful voice for an ingenue,
just as Elenora Duse had a superb
voice l'or the expression of tragedy.
Doubtless all these gifted ladies
worked early and late over their
voices. Julia Marlowe took singing
lessons continually to improve her
I speaking voice, though I never heard
| of her singing a note for even her
closest friends of her own amuse
' ment. But the exercise gave a beau
tiful resonance to her speaking
tones, and was well worth the effort.
But her voice, as an asset, seems
to have been overlooked by all but
the cleverest and most far-sighted
of American women, to judge by the
samples that smite our ' ears on
streetcars and in public places.
Do They Marry Princes?
"Where, do the American women
with beautiful voices keep them
selves?" an observer is tempted to
ask, after listening to a chorus of
nasal, "and I says to him" or "she
says to me," and one is forced to
the fairy story conclusion that wom
en who are clever enough to ac-
interest her in doing something in
the same room with you, or with
some other adult, all the time. When
she puts her thumb into her mouth,
she should be treated practically the
same as if she were getting too near
the fire. Simply do not allow her
to have a moment's satisfaction from
her old habit. Do not allow her
even to touch her mouth if you can
help it.
Have her play outdoors as much
as she wants to. Perhaps while she
is out, it will not be necessary for
you to watch her quite so closely.
But, even then, keep an eye on her
and go frequently to where she is
playing to cheer her and make her
play more interesting by suggestions
and appeals to her imagination.
When she is indoors and especially
when she is tired or hungry or
sleepy, watch her continually. If she
starts to suck her thumb say, "No,
no," with a significant frown along
with your positive action about get
ting the hand away. Do not con
tinue to frown but quickly smile the
moment you pull the hand down.
Do not slap or jerk the hand, but
put it down as though you were in
earnest and would not tolerate its
being up for a moment.
If you are compelled by circum
stances to be away from the child
during the day for even a short
time, put on each hand a mitten of
cotton flannel with nap side out.
Some mother make the mistake of
starting-a campaign against the habit
and then become discouraged and
negligent just before they could rea
sonably expect to see results. Others
make the mistake of allowing ex
ceptions to occur occasionally, which
of course, only prolongs the habit.
The proper and only hopeful way
of curing this particular habit is po
sitively to prevent the practice for
a few days.
quire good voices are immediately
married for them, and travel in lim
ousines ever after.
Parents with excellent voices seem
so often deaf to this failing in their
childron. An ambitious mother will
allow a daughter to go through
childhood and youth with a pierc
ing voice that is enough to make
angels weep. Every one who hears
the girl realizes what a handicap she
is cultivating for life, and yet ma
ternal affection hears in it nothing
but music.
Girls with bad voi . should be
made to take elocution or singing
lessons until the refractory organ
is properly placed and they have
learned to enunciate correctly. It
would be better for their future pros
perity if such girls had fewer
clothes, fewer amusements, and the!
money thus saved spent on voice cul
ture.
Good firms very carefully consid-1
er the voices of the women they em-:
ploy. Naturally, they prefer to have
themselves represented over the'
telephone by women who convey a j
sense of cultivation, rather than by
someone who suggests she is about l
to do a turn on the vaudeville stage'
that begins by shifting her cud of i
chewing gum and inquiring, "Whad- \
da you want?"
A short time ago an advertisement
appeared in one of the great New
York dailies for a "gentlewoman
with an agreeable telephone voice"
—and the notice went on to state
that liberal compensation would be
paid the applicant whp could fur
nish these qualifications.
Gopd Voice Needed in Business
A good voice is even more valu
able in business than in society.
Your own corner of the world may
accept you for a variety of reasons
—because you are rich, pretty,
agreeable, or an important man's
wife. But business is relentless.
You hold your "Job" by reason of
your cash value to the firm and it's
up to you to uphold the dignity of
your employer and not make his

business absurd by a vaudeville voice,
accent or speech.
An affected voice or an extrava
gant manner of speaking is quite as
offensive as the voice and speech of
the unlearned.
By a good voice I do not mean a
ridiculous assumption of what is sup
posed to be a fashionable accent, but
a well-placed voice, never nasal, and
with due regard paid to the proper
pronunciation of our splendid lan
guage.
There is no excuse for anyone
speaking badly these days, for the
Y. W. C. A.s and similar friendly
organizations offer classes in Eng
lish and elocution to all who will
come. Public libraries aid and abet
the good work by lending helpful
books. Social settlements and com
munity centers give talks and in
struction on a variety of subjects

or boy, man or woman, not utterly
