Which of us thought of it first. I don't know. I'm not sure whether or not Jim had it in mind when r.e said, "There are ways of circum venting Virginia." But when 1 saw how Mrs. Var den's sneers were adding to Vir ginia's prejudice against Neal, those words of Jim's came back to me; and gave me what I felt was an in spiration. If I had put it away in the back of my brain for awhile, and had ; taken it out when I was all alone ! and thought over it carefully, pet haps I would have weighed it and found it wanting. But I didn't weigh it. When we got home from our eve ning on the roof with Carl Booth , and Daisy Condon. Jim was in a jumpy, irritable mood nearly ap proaching that state known as a grouch. I was suddenly too i.iui and dejected to get any fun out of h's jealousy of Carl Booth. I didn't . want to discuss it. So I hauled "The Idea" out and offered it to Jim. Hauled it out suddenly and without weighing it. because Mrs. Varden's cattiness and Jim's quar rel with Virginia and my own in describably feelings due to coming again in touch with my old world. . had made my brain whirl like a carousel. "Jim!" I began abruptly. "Just what did you mean the other eve ning when you said that there art ways of circumventing Virginia?" "I don't remember saying just that. Anne. What's the big idea?" "I thought you had—the idea." I replied smiling guilelessly. _ "What's eating you young lady? You have something on your mind." said Jim. jerking at his tie irritably. "She'll never consent to Phoebe s ' marrying Neal," I said smoothly. "I've told you that, haven't I ? Why do you want to start treating it as a great discovery now? Did she say anything in the dressing room? Get your goat by snubbing that field-daisy of yours?" asked Jim. whirling hround to smile at me knowingly. "No. She merely took me for granted with the same Harrison serenity and superiority you're 1 showing now. Seeming to indicate that I couldn't possibly have any viewpoint but her own. And it l struck me"— I hesitated, and Jim said sarcasti cally: "A lot of things have struck you to-day. Your old interest in Booth, for instance" I interrupted in turn, whirling into the heart of things and well beyond Carl Booth. "What struck me was this if , Virginia will never consent to let 4§& So economical A RICH, creamy, and delicious dessert! Vfi MX.

FRIDAY EVENING, | ting Phoebe and Neal make their i dreams come true, why shouldn't we just take matters in hand with out Virginia? Maybe you've never really mtant to defy her. But I'm sure Neal has. And Phoebe, too. I fancy. Jim. why shouldn't they elope?" "Elope?" repeated Jim colorlessly. "Elope!" he repeated distastefully. "Well wasn't that your idea all along—when you said there were ways of circumventing Virginia?" I demanded, annoyed at the implied criticism in Jim's tone. "Not exactly." said Jim. staring at me. I couldn't interpret his long, slow gaze. It might be that I had of fended the aristocratic Harrison viewpoint. It might be that I had offered Jim the solution most plead ing to his gambling nature. I wouldn't admit that I had merelv startled him with a new idea. For T felt that off in a remote corner of his mind, he had been watering the seedling of his very inspiration. "How else can we circumvent Vir ginia? She has defied you. hasn't she?" I asked with an intonation 1 ' suppose 1 Inherited straight from mother Eve. J:m whirled on me as angrily as if it were I who had defied hint. "Virginia jolly well told me to mind my own business." he said. "And she said a few things about Evvy Mason and the type of man who could let himself get involved with a girl like that which were— well, rather personal, and not very flattering. She thinks I'm no more sit to be Phoebe's adviser or bro ther for that matter, than Neal is to be her husband. Virginia is get ting about twice as sour as an old maid on the old-fashioned comic valentines." "Jim. you haven't quarreled ser iously with Jennie?" I gasped. "What did you think 1 meant when I told you I was through with Virginia Dalton?" asked Jim. "I -thought you had a—spat." I said slowly, feeling my way toward a realization of facts. "Yes." sneered Jim. "The same kind of a spat Pat Dalton and Vir ginia had. But you don't think he is ever going to speak to her again, do you?" "Oh. Jim." I cried, "Poor Virginia —poor, poor proud Jeanie. I'm sure she still loves Pat. I've always felt he cared for her still—and that some day. through me. perhaps they'd make it all up." "Oh. you did?

FA IR If you happen to be one of those girls who write to me under the signature of •'Heartbroken," "De spondent" or "Despairing" make up your mind that you are extremely unlikely to tind happiness if you write yourself down in these un happy terms. "Thoughts are things," as wise men have known from the begin ning. and if you admit you are "Heartbroken," "Despondent" or "Despairing," and tag yourself with these labels, you are deliberately playing a losing game—and writing your own death warrant. Do not let your feelings "run away with you." If you indulge in this sort of emotional spree you will have no more control over your destiny than a leaf has over its whirling in a hurricane. If you are at the beck and call of every feeling of joy, grief, love, fear, hate, you become emotionally intoxicated; nothing appears to you at its face value. In this state" oi' mind one is utterly unfit to cope with life. Ordinary people and oc currences appear in the exaggerates forms they present to the drug ad dict; nothing is real. The emotions get the whip hand and they scourge their victim from pillar to post. He is "madly" in love with this one or that, im enemy seeks to destroy his good name or his complete understanding with a friend, the world is against him, and very naturally he is "heart broken," despondent and despau ing. Many young people pass the en tire period of adolescence in these states of exaltation or despairing unreality and they fall in love, run the entire gamut of emotional sen sation, recover, then repeat the operation with the next young man or woman with whom fate happens to throw them. Fail to Make a Success It is needless to say such people are too much at the mercy ot" thei.- feelings ever to make a success ot life. They never stick to anything or any one long enough to succeed. Some grand opera emotion—love, despair, hate, fear, jealousy, sus picion—is always driving them along; they never stop long enough to take deep root. How does it come about, why is every day life full of these "stars" whose glitter spoils the tranquility of domestic life? I was discussing this subject the other day with a brilliant physician—a specialist in diseases of the mind—who is doing notable work among the shellshock victims of the war. His theory is that such people have a certain amount of histrionic or artistic ability and that they con tinually "live in parts." Such peo ple are apt to be excessive novel readers, theatergoers, or "movie fans" and they fit their lives to stage, book or screen, rather than reverse the process and tit stage, book or screen to real life. They think in terms of art and frequently in the third person. "She dragged her weary form a few paces, then crumpled up on a park bench," this physician once heard a healthy-looking girl repeat to her self quite audibly. And as he had just seen her say goodby to a young man, walk a few steps and sit on a park bench he joined her and began to talk about her "case." She displayed no reluctance In talking to him—he was all part of the "play," the play that, like clas sics of the Chinese stage, goes on for years and years. The Gift of Delusion She did not really "care" about the young man from whom she had just parted, though she had deluded herself into thinking she was "mad" about him, and was "heartbroken" that he had said no goodby to her and had declined her invitation to spend the evening in her company. The physician asked her innumer able questions about the young man, questions intended to elicit her real feelings in regard to him. She confessed he was "stingy," that he was "poorly educated," that she hated "his habit of breathing ————■ "-M-ADL CUP AT TABLE" through the mouth." Love was not blind, in fact, there was no love present to lose his eyesight. She was in the mood of play-act and she took this rather sorry specimen for her "leading man." With such subjects the curtain never comes down; they get up in the morning and begin to think of themselves in the terms of a book i or play and they keep it up till night. Now this gift, if it is big enough, and accompanied by dogged indus try, may be turned to profitable ac count. It may come forth in the shape of novels, short stories, plays or movies. And you may have the pleasure of banking checks of your own making and becoming a happy and prosperous author. But if you are going to allow'your life energies to become inextricably entangled :ti its meshes—you will have no mors chance than a fly in a spider's web. You may cast yourself for a star part, but you will be apt to rind yourself among the lowliest and 1 most wretched of life's supers. j Be Your Own Stage Manager If you have a dramatic tempera- i ment, pull yourself up with a sharp i jolt and decide to become a good, business-like stage manager, aj> well as the emotional star advertised to weep real tears every day in the week and twice on matinee days. Keep the whip hand on your feelings and do not indulge in sen-' timents like this: "If he does not ] come this evening I shall die!" "If ' he does not care for me it means I someone has been making trouble between us!" "I can't bear this agony another moment." On the contrary, say: "I've got a j dramatic temperament, a highlv valuable asset, how can I tame it : and train it so that it may be of some practical account." Or "How can I prevent mv emo- | tions from running away with me. 1 and making me a burden to myself and a laughing stock of others?" j and when you have discovered that, ! my dear young man or woman, you have discovered tne philosopher's stone. At the same time, wour chances of "winning" the "only girl" or the "only man" who causes you such tremendous upheavals, at "the pres- | ent time, will be several times as j good a-s if you continue to remain i the victim of every emotional 1 storm. Run your own life, and run it I with your hand on the throttle. ! Life may be less "interesting" oil I these terms, but it will be a far ' more satisfactory and profitable af- ! fair than if you spend it at the heck i and call of your grand opera emo tion.

WILSON WOODROW "I listen and wonder." said a woman to me the other day, "won der at the speaking voices and the intonations cf the young people of to-day. They are supposed to have been through school or college, yet not one in ten know 3 how to speak the English language with grace or chain* What are they thinking oi? Why are they not using the oest gift of nature in the tinest way? Do they not realize that a< cultivated vcice is the test expression and ac count one e?n give of one's self, and the greatest of sociul assets?" My thoughts immediately ran hack to the days of my girlhood, when my imagination was captured by tales I had heard of t the fasci nations of a woman who'numbered many of the great and famous among her suitors. At last a day came when 1 was invited to her home. I shall never forget my shock of surprise at see ing her. She was plain, almost ugly. I must have shown my feel ings in my face, for she looked at me with a mocking sort of smile as if to say: "Don't value your youth and prettiness too highly. What are they beside my possessions?" And then I heard her voice, and got my first realization of what chairni really means. That perfect speech! It was music and color: there was a sort of magic about it. 1 doubt if there is any gift com parable to a lovely speaking Vjice. In more than one instance I have seen ugly women queen it over the loveliest girls by right of that one divine possession: and men of hum ble station have, risen to power through it alone. Nothing has so much influence with the multitude. I was talking with a girl a day or twq ago so exquisitely pretty that she made one think of a fairy tale princess. But when she opened her mouth pearls and diamonds certainly did not issue therefrom: rather, came toads and snakes. The voice with which she assaulted the ears of her hearers was a sort of a cross between a twang and a whine. And there was a French woman present whose methods of speech she might have studied to advan tage, with its perfect setting of the mouth to the words, which gave beauty and charm to her every ex pression. Many actors and actresses under stand this, and many do not. It seemed to me this last winter that there was scarcely a play which f attended where there was not at least one "Adenoid Addie" occupy ing an important role. Supreme actress that she is. Bernhardt could never have achieved her almost legendary fame had her "golden" voice been of copper, soy, (jr her diction less faultless. Julia Marlowe and Ethel Barrymore have rich, powerful, lovely voices, and many an actor has forged his way to the front of his profession solely through the magic of a voice musical and rcso naVit as the tones of a cello. Orators know the potency of the human voice and study the secret of its uses. Charles James Fox, the great English statesman, is said to who have suffered as you have to ifuide you to relief.

I have thoroughly understood how to I employ his rare voice with power | and skill. When he bade farewell to Edmund Burke in the House of I Commons he so thrilled those who ! heard him that it was like some ! spell of enchantment. But oratory has gone a bit out of fashion. We have "speakers" in these days, and there are many women among them. They speak well, too—clearly, forcefully and to the point. Where, though, is the magic voice that "lifts one to heaven or casts one down to hell" People of other nations are al ways assailing the "American voice;" but somehow it has never seemed to me any worse than the voices of other nationalities, taken person for person. There are many Americans who speak our language delightfully; but the majority of us do neglect our speech. We grow careless and indifferent to it in the rush and hurry of our iives. Vet, given a good, natural voice, it is a sin not to use it properly: and, given a poor one, it is a crime not to strengthen and develop it. There are certain so-called cul tivated voices which madden one, they are so mincing and affected. But a voicfc properly used is as na tural and easy and spontaneous as a bird's note. To the young girls who are at tractive, but yearn to be more so, and to the plain girls who want to enter into competition with their better looking sisters, I charge them that they study a little their voices and their manner of speech.
