" When a Girl Marries" By ANN LISLE A New, Romantic Serial Dealing With the Absorbing Problem of a Girl Wife (Copyright, 1919, King Features Syndicate, Inc.) "When I finished telling Jim Lane Cosby's story Jim sat silent for a moment, staring at the ceiling and puffing hard at the last of a series of cigarets he had been smoking steadily all the while I related the circumstances leading to Loretta Cosby's death and Lane's second marriage. "Poor old Lane," he muttered to himself. "Poor old chap; And no one would think he ever had a care in the world." He crossed and uncrossed his knees restlessly several times, still murmuring his comments without taking any notice of me. "I'll stand by the poor old chap. Guess he's groggy from all the sharp knocks he's had. That cat — can't do a thing. Women are a queer bunch." Then he pulled himself up sud dnly and turned to* me, speaking gravely: "Anne, have you ever stopped to realize that with the Harrison name, the money I'm making now—| and your own personal charm, you j can take your position with the best in society any time you're ' ready?" I did a right-about-face to put myslf in touch with Jim's mood. 'Do you want me to be a society leader, lad?" "Virginia, I'd like to resume our old position," commented Jim. "Yes, and I'm pretty keen to get 1 back to the old place. I'd like it ! all right. It was ours once, and 1 we have the equipment now. It's only a question of" He hesitated, and finally went on with an air of Abstraction: its a question of how much trouble Evvy has started for the Cosby's and of how much cham pioning them will cost you. It isn't fair to ask you to make any sacri fice for Val. I'm wise to that, little Anne. "Jim, you don't think I'd mind?" 1 asked. "Society doesn't mean much to me. And if it's going to boycott us for standing by Lane and j • Careful What You Wash Your Hair With Host soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsiflcd cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieoes. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, aoout a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. 0 0 j "I wonder"— ? "Why it wouldn't surprise 0 ? me at all.

"Anything X ate would distress me and cause gas to form so that I had shortness of breath," this Pennsyl vania woman explained. "I had an awful pain in my back, and sometimes it seemed that I couldn't even stand the weight of my clothes. "A friend of mine had been tak ing Natonex, and she was feeling so much better that she told me about this new Nature medicine. I cantvot tell you how glad I am that she did tell me, for the relief it has given me has been a blessing. "I began to notice relief about the third day after I began Natonex, and since that time I have improved right along. My meals no longer distress me, andT' eat good, nourish ing food since I know it is not go ing to hurt me. The pains in my back are gone, and the poisons have been eliminated from my system, becauso the vital organs are doing 'heir work properly. WEDNESDAY EVENING. t being loyal to him. I'll despise it. Val doesn't count. It's what we owe that big brown bear. We'd never desert Lane—never!" Jim fairly flung himself from his chair to sit on the arm of mine and draw me close to him. For a min ute I felt his lips on my hair, then I heard him murmur very tenderly: "Sweetheart! My lilac lady. If I ever lose the way, you'll show it to me again, won't you? What a thoroughbred you are, Anne—what an absolute thoroughbred! Vir i ginia talks a lot about being an ; aristocrat. You just naturally are j one. From now on, Jimmie's on the j job. And you inspired him. He j won't forget that in a hurry." "Can 1 inspire you to do anything about Miss Evelyn Mason in an | other connection?" I asked tenta ! tively, wondering if 1 could bring | myself to talk to Jim about mother's I diamond circlet, once Phoebe's en ' gagement ring—now about to be I used as Evvy's wedding ring. Jim interrupted me before I had I finished nerving myself to the 01- | deal. "You still have your heart set on winning Neal away from Evvy anil '< patching up matters between him and Phoebe?" ho asked. "It's the desire of my heart," I replied. 'I wish it could be done, dear. [ I wish it could be done," said Jim, thoughtfully. Then he added. "By Heck, Anne, I'm the sleepiest, tired est man in three counties! You wouldn't think I was casting asper sions on the charm of your society, would you, if I suggested that now 1 I am in the mood to do a bit of 1 sleeping?" So I didn't tell Jim then about Mother's diamond circlet. And the affairs of the next day demanded so much of my attention that Phoebe and Neal had to be ne glected. I told myself encourag ingly that a day or two couldn't matter and there would be time for them later. Toward noon next day Tom Mason telephoned me. At once I jumped to the conclusion that he wanted to discuss Val's affairs with me and to give me his ideas about Evvy's persecution of Val. So be fore he started framing his request, I felt that I must accede to it. 'Anne, will you meet me for lunch today?" he said and then rushed on to an explanation that amazed me. "I'm asking you to be one of a party of three, and the third is about the last person in the world you expect ever to see again. As a matter of fact, you're going to be a complete surprise to him when you join us. It's Dick West." Dick West!" I gasped in amaze ment at the idea of Tom's asking me to meet Jim's ex-partner.' "Startles you, doesn't it?" asked Tom. "I'd like it mighty well if you d trust me and come just on my recommendation that it'll be to your advantage to stroll in at about 1.15. IV ill you take a chance on my being the devoted friend of yours I've often declared myself?" "I can't, Tom," I said, with honest regret that I couldn't conquer my deep distrust of him. "I can't come. I've no desire to see Dick West again, and I don't see what right you have to suppose that I'll lunch with you." .1 I s ?: course You won't believe tnat I d do about anything for you. You like me about as well as you do West." Tom laughed bitterly. "But this meeting is going to prove that I'm ready to do anything for y°u even double-cross a man who trusts me. Anne, West is planning to revenge himself on Jim for put ting him out of the firm. He imag ines that jealously will prompt me to help him. He's a dangerous enemy—ready to dynamite your Jimmie.

DESPONDENT WOMEN A prominent writer claims that "women are naturally despondent," but often mental depression may be attributed to an abnormal condition of the system, which expresses it self in nervousn-ess, backache, head aches, sleeplessness, and consequent despondency. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound goes to the root of this trouble, it gives tone and strength to the system and restores women to a normal, healthy condi tion. "Natonex was recommended to me by a good friend, and I want to help some ono else as much as she helped me. Of course we cannot expect to be cured in one day of a long standing trouble, but I *gave Natonex time, and now I know that it will build up a system, because it built up mine, as I was thoroughly run down." From every part of the country comes these statements of men arwl women who, after they have tested Natonex, and have found its great merit, recommend it, so that they can help others as they have been helped. No matter how discouraged you are or how many medicines you have tried without success, do not hesitate to begin this Natonex treatment, which costs but little. Nator.-ex is made of 12 famous Na ture remedies, each noted for a spe cial relief, and all combined to cleanse, purify and invigorate the entire digestive system so that Na ture can build new strength. Natonex is specially recommended In Harrisburg by the Gorgas Drug Co., 16 N. Third street, and is sold by leading druggists everywhere— adv. Bringing Up Father Copyright, 1918, International News Service - By McManus LITTLE TALKS BY BE A TRICE FAIRFAX Are you in love with love, or are you in love with young Mr. Jones or Miss Robinson? The mistake is by no means re stricted to the feminine gender. Perhaps you are a young man of ro mantic age and are addicted to read ing poetry and thinking unutterable thoughts and imagining yourself to be deeply in love with Miss Hawkins or Miss Robinson. But you may bo wholly mistaken, the object of your tender solicitude may not be either of these young ladies, but love it self. In fact you may be in love with love, which is a common enough complaint among young people and others not so young. And if you are contemplating mar riage, as the next step to being in love, please—if you value your peace of mind or that cf Mr. Smith or Miss Robinson—find out if you are in love with love, or some young person. Fqr if Mr. Smith or Miss Robinson happens to be only the peg upon which you hang the rainbow-tinted fragments of romance they will not measure up to your ideals no matter how hard they strive. Ureanilg Drenms of Perfection For when you are in love with love you are dreaming dreams of ab solute perfection and you are de manding quite too much of Mr. Smith or Miss Robinson as an un derstudy. There are a number of very sim ple tests by which it will be easy to prove whether the object of your affections is an abstract ideal or a flesh and blood man or woman. Do you have to make a good many ex cuses to yourself for Mr. Smith's or Miss Robinson's shortcomings? Do Mr. Smith's never-failing opin ions on all subjects get on your nerves, and do you sometimes feel, in the words of the classic squelch er, that you wish you knew as much about anything as young Smith docs about everything? Does the way he chews a tooth pick or pares his nails in public make you wish his mother had not wholly neglected to instruct him in the little decencies of life? And do you wish he would not cough or fidget that way, or make himself the hero of every story, or tell you that old one about the time, etc.? Are you aware of the distinct fea tures of Mr. Smith, on the opposite side of the fireplace, when you dream of the future or is there Just an indefinite blur that stands for a masculine presence about the house? Do you think it would be lovely to stop going to office or to "busi ness" and to have a strong arm write out the checks, and a bass voice to contend with the janitor, and a robust presence to stand be tween you and all the disagreeable situations in life? And to achieve DAILY HINT ON FASHIONS A POPULAR MODEL 2872. This style is good for mad khaki, muslin, linen and flannel. The fronts are finished in coat style.

Telegraph Pattern Department For the 10 cents inclosed please send pattern to the following address: Size Pattern No Name Address m City and State tLARRISBURG TEUEGRXPH these blessings are you willing to have Mr. Smith's features "thrown in with the lot?" This, however, does not mean that you are in love with love, but with prosperity. And alas! people some times are even more in love with prosperity than they are with love. The affirmative tests for being in love consists in reversing the situa tion. Do you think Mr. Smith's chuckling laugh the sweetest music you ever heard? Do you know his footsteps apart from a hundred other footseps? Do you remember the shape of his hands and do they seem to you the most manly, capa ble hands in the world? And do you in the beautifully simple language of Robert Louis Stevenson feel as Kirstie, the elder, felt when she heard young Hermiston's step about the house? "I have said her heart leaped—it is the accepted phrase. But rather, when she was alone in any ihamber of the house and heard his foot passing on the corridors something in her bosom rose slowly intil her breath was suspended and as slowly fell again with a deep sigh when the steps had passed and she was disappointed of her heart's desire. This perpetual hunger and thirst of his presence kept her all day on the alert." If you feel like this, you are in love. Or, again, you may apply a test to a lower round of the ladder of romance. Do you think how love ly it will be when Mr. Smith pays fifteen dollars a pair for your pale gray boots, or have you decided to buy a serviceable black pair for much less money and save the differ ence for a nestegg? Straws Show the Way These are all so many favorable straws that point to your genuine affection for Mr. Smith, as against being actually in love with love ard prospeity. And a young man may submit bis lover's litany to practically the same experiment. Is it Miss Rob inson's actual presence he sees about the house, or does he merely have a vision of slippered ease in which some capable, economical, agreeable young woman ministers to him and keeps a votive lamp burning before the shrine of his comfort? Or perhaps he is not as selfish as all that, maybe he is honestly in love with love; he reads poems like Poe's "Raven" or Browning's "Last Ride," and he gets a degree of mel ancholy comfort out of them, or ! again his young enthusiasm may | kindle to a magnificent declaration |of love like Bayard Taylor's "Bed ouin Love Song:" "Till the sun grows cold I And the stars are old. And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfold." After that, what is there for a susceptible young man, with a nice taste in literature to do but to look about for some girlikin feminine for manikin—to wrap about with these splendid sentiments of ro mance? Alack and alas! when the awakening comes the girlikin is Just a nice little thing and not the sort at all to inspire a grand pas sion. Love is a thing of superlatives. If you are in love you long exces sively to be something finer, nobler and more beautiful than you really are, so that you may be worthy of your beloved. You believe you are utterly happy in thinking of her till you discover there is a keener bliss in persuading her to smile on you. Perhaps you may succeed in rec ognizing some of these symptoms and classifying them as belonging to the "in love with love" school, or those that belong to the "one girl —or one man—on earth" school. Hearn, K-C Commissioner, Honored by France New York, July 30.—William P. Lurkin, of New York, overseas di rector of the Knights of Columbus, has received word from the Paris headquarters of the K. of C„ that Edward L. Hearn, of New York, overseas commissioner for the Knights, has received the Cross of the Legion of Honor from the French government, in recognition of his individual services as a war worker and of the services of the K. of C. towards winning the war and the establishment of recon struction work. Commissioner Hearn sailed to France last summer, after having served as assistant to Overseas Di rector Larkin in the New York of fice of the K. of C. He arrived in France in time to take charge of the work of the Knights of Columbus during the most crucial period of the work of the Knights of Colum bus during the most crucial period of the fighting, and he personally made a tour of the battle front to superintend K. of C. service under fire. Allies Hampered by Weights and Measures San Frnnclaco, July 30.—That the Kaiser would not have dared declare war ff the United States and ' Britannia had been at one with their ' allies in the matter of weights and I measures, is the interesting asser tion made by President F. O. Wells of the Greenfield, Mass., Tap, Die, j Machine Tool Company, in support of i the campaign for world-wide adoption | of metric units. He says the Ger- I mans counted upon the confusion I which did actually occur. This is borne out by Major Fiorello La Guardia, formerly in command of American fliers on the Italian front, now Congressman from New York. Major La Guardia has issued a state ment that the greatest single cause of delay, confusion and expense was the fact that in specifications and orders the Americans and British used the old, complicated weights and measures, while all other used metric units. We were finally forced to the metric system during the war. Advice to the Lovelorn He Has An Awful Temper DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I have been going about with a young man for the past three years; for certain reasons we are not yet engaged. Although I love him dear ly, I must admit at times I think I am only infatuated with him. The reason I give for this is that he has an awful disposition and temper. When we are out in company if I happen to do anything he does not like, he will insult me and spoil my whole evening, and then on the way home he will beg for forgiveness. Now, Miss Fairfax, this has hap pened time and time again, and I am just growing sick over it. I try to explain to my friend that I never mean to do any harm and that he shouldn't be so hasty, but it does no good. As I said before, I love this young man and I know it will be hard for me to give him up. What shall I do? CONSTANT READER If the young man treats you with such marked rudeness before mar riage, I do not see how you arc going to deal with the situation afterward, and you will probably have less influence over .him then than you have now. The only thing to do is to take a firm stand anil when he insults you before people leave the company or do something that will bring him to a realization of his own ill breeding. Such a romance does not sound very prom ising to me. He Speaks Poor English DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am nineteen, a bookkeeper and going about with a man five years older than I am. This young man is a foreigner, has been in this country about eight years, and speaks very poor English, and I am an American girl. He is an ordinary working man, is very good at his trade and earns rather a good salary—l have had several gifts from him. Now what I want to know is, whether you think it advisable for me to continue to keep company with him any longer, as he has already pro posed to me, and the only answer I gave him was if he proved worthy of being my partner he could be. The more I see him the more 1 learn to care for him. It seems as though my friends are making fun of him, so I take this opportunity to ask you for your kind advice. J. M. G. As you say the more you see of this foreigner the more you learn to care for him, it would seem is if you had answered your own ques tion. Why do your friends n: ke fun of him? Because he speaks broken English? And how well do they speak his langunge, or do they speak it at all? As you do not seem to know your own mind as yet, why not let the question of the en gagement drift for awhile and see how you feel in regard to this young man six months or a year hence. She Is n Widow DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am a widow of twenty-six and have a baby girl of four. My hus band died eleven months ago, and now an old acquaintance is in love with me and wants me to marry him. I do not love this man, but I know he will be a good fathei to my baby, whom he has known since she was born. Now my ques tion is, do you think I should many this man for my child's shake? Y. M. I can never advise a woman to marry for any one's sake or a home; such arrangements invariably turn out badly. There is really no rea son for marrying any one at all but for a deep and abiding affection. Why do you not give yourself a lit tle time? Perhaps you may learn to love this old friend. A CH'ESTtOX OF BREAKFAST DEAR MTSS FAIRFAX: I am 27 and expect to be married shortly. In discussing various suhiects with the nrospective bride the subje.-t of breakfast was brought up. My flnancee insists that it is entirely er roneous on my part to expect her to rise in time to get a breakfast ready. T would not mind if she was sickly or a weak girl. Her chief objection Is that her moth er serves her breakfast in bed to her, and she expects the same treatment from her husband. This question as to which is to pre pare breakfast had beter he thrashed out and decided upon In a manner acreeable to both of you before von' think of getting married. I can think J of no worse handicap than a disparity ! of ideas on such a sublect. And are you sure you would be able to sunpoft a ! young woman usPd to such luxury? Remember the cost of living, remem- I her the cost of servants. Life's Problems Are Discussed Ily MBS. WILSON WOODROW There, is one thing the world is fl ways looking for, and, having found it, will pay almost any price that is asked; and that is new and better ways of doing old things. The other person's way is for those, who lack initiative and opinions of their < wn. But the man or woman who can breathe the breath of new life into his work and achieve dif ferent and more satisfactory results will find that tne world is his. One of the greatest elements of suc cess in the life of a man who be came an empire-builder—for with his railroads he opened up the North west, with its vast wheat fields—was that all he ever asked of the men under him was results. He would ihvariably say: "Don't come to me and ask how 1 want things done. Do them!" If a man couldn't meet this requirement he was dropped. A contemporary of his, a man also of greut power, died of a nervous breakdown before he had reached his prime, largely because he refused to let the men under him exercise their individuality or express their per sonality upon their work. He was, as was said of him, not content to be the head of the organi zation; he wanted also to fill every position, major and minor, all the way down the line. His subordinates tried to save him, but gave it up in despair. He couldn't or wouldn't let go of the small things to grasp she big ones, and practically committed suicide by attempting to tbsoib a mass of unnecessary detail. And what applies to the large issues of life applies also to the small ones. Recently I watched a girl packing the family trunks prepara tory to a summer flitting. She was both practical and metho dical, and since the task devolved on her, she made her own plans about the way she meant to accomplish it and thus save herself time and un necessary work. But lier mother, not well enough to attend to the packing herself as she had formerly done, and a woman of the fussy, worrying sort, was not willing to give up the mental super vision of it. In spite of her daugh ter's pleading and protests, she stood by, directing the placing of every article and the arrangement of eveiy fold.

Now this girl had a mind of her own and she wanted to exercise it. let, instead of being allowed to do so, she was forced to suppress her own ideas and blindly follow the mother's. And the outcome was a sense of bitterness and futility on her part and of annoyance and irrita tion on the part of her mother. Most people can rise to meet the big responsibilities of life; but it is trivial, soul-wearing interferences and petty tyrannies like these that darken the day and make harmony and a sympathetic understanding iii the home impossible. We have all heard fathers say to their sons, "You will do it my way, or you will not do it at all?" or moth ers say to their daughters, "I am perfectly satisfied with the old way; I don't want any new experiments introduced." In this way the boy or girl would be put upon his mettle. He might make a dozen mistakes, but he would make haste to rectify them, for his goal would be the results demanded. And he would conserve both time and energy and temper in doing it. since he would not have to stop and arg le or dispute about methods. I saw a mother looking on in be wildered disapproval at the way lit daughter was making a frock. She said: "I've tried to teach her the tight methods, but she won't listen to me. She cuts right into the material with out even a pattern, and sews it up any old way. Y'et when she puts it on, it looks as if a high-priced dress maker had made it. How she does it is a miracle to me." She shook her head and continued to wonder. It seemed all wrong to her, even if the results were all right. The daughter simpiy had a knack, a sort of intuitive knowledge how to achieve the effects she was seek ing, and by following that instinct she got there. If the mother had in sisted on the girl abiding by her di rections, the results would probably have satisfied neither of them. There would have been no use ful and valuable inventions, and the world would long ago have stood still, if the inventors had listened to those willing advisers who told them that the thing couldn't possibly be done, and urged them to stick to the old ways.
