' Adele Garrison “My Husband’s Luvc” What Mrs, Durkre Asked Madge to I Do About Leila and ADred. I was conscious of a distinct feeling of irritation against little Mrs. bur kee when she assumed that 1 would take Dicky’s evening clothes with me on my three-day trip home, for fear they might he stolen in my absence. She had taken the same unreason •inf prejudice against our neighbors in the rear apartment which Dicky had evinced, and while I, myself, shared much of their aversion, 1 was very sure that whatever the moral or civic code of our neighbors, our per ' nal belongings would be perfectly safe with them. If I accepted Mrs. Durkee's view, l would be compelled to take home not only Dicky’s evening clothes, lmt sev eral other valuable articles belonging to him. I had no room in my own suitcase or hag, because of having to take home so many of my own things to he mended or cleaned. I would have to take Dicky's suitcase in addi tion to my own luggage. The pros pect urged me to a negative. "I'm sure they'll he perfectly safe." I said. “Besides. I never can take two suitcases and a bag from your house to the farm. You know 1 11 have to change ears twice, going that way, and there are no porters on those local trains. If I were going directly from the Pennsylvania station tt would be different.'’ “Dicky isn't going out. to the farm before be cornea back, and if lie doc*' h* won i need these tilings, will he?" .Mrs. Dui'kre asked. “No, lie's coming directly hack here," I answered. Madge Bcassures Mrs. liiirkee. “Well, then." with distinct triumph in her voice, “you won't need to take Dicky's suitcase to the farm at all. You can leave it at our house, and A if can bring it in when Dicky conies back. I tell you it's tempting Provi dence to leave clothes like those around. Even if those people in the back are all right, how many times do you hear of sneak thieves getting in flats on one pretense or another and cleaning them out?" Again I heard Mrs. Marks' earnest warning against admitting any strung er into the apartment, and my news paper reading supplied any number of arguments bolstering Mrs. Durkee’a case. I think she saw me wavering, for she seized Dicky's suitcase from llie corner, opened it hr skly and put it down beside mine on the bed. “Now." she said capably, "you go ahead and pack your ow n tilings, and Ml attend to Dicky's. Goodness knows, 1 ought to know how. I've packed Alfred's clothes often enough. But I'm certainly out of practice, now, for I.eila doesn't seem to like me to do a thing for Alfred. She looks after him as if he were a baby. She's a great deal more capable than I thought she would he. but I don't know, I do miss doing tilings for my boy." > “Tilings Aren't Just Itight—" Her voice held a decided tremolo, i and T hastened to banish it with a lit I tie laugh. "Wait a while.’’ 1 advised practi cally. "Leila's still n bride, as far as j sentiment goes. As the months and years roll on, you'll ilnd she'll be glad io shaie Alt's socks and buttons with, you again. That's something about ] which Mother Graham and I never quarrel. I'm only too glad to have her attend to Dicky's mending.” “Oh, you!" Her FlutTiness scoffed af fectionately. "1 suppose you and Leila look at things from the same standpoint, don't you? Remember, you're one of the 20th century women, while Leila—well, she's early Ifltli. She thinks the sun rises and sets on Alt's head—” "And wouldn't you lie furlofis if she didn't?” I teased. "I suppose I would," she admitted with a little laugh. "Rut, honestly, Madge, if lie is mjr own boy, I'm afraid she's too wrapped up in him for her own happiness. You know the best men get tired of cake and ice cream all the time, and want a diet with more of a kick in it. That’s one reason I want you to come out. 1 think you may be able to put a fh-a in Leila's ear. Things aren’t just r gilt between her and Alf, and I'm at my wits' end. And now. I'm likely to have some kind of sir-k spell just when I'm needed—” "It might be the best thing that ever happened to either of them, if you did gpt really ill.” 1 said, “though I trust they won't be given so des perate a remedy. But from what I saw of them last night, they need a shook of some kind to keep them from dwelling too much upon their own petty problems.” l iic iviaaua i*io» UK D^e: i u< Beatrice Fairfax Problems That Perplex Too .Much Family. Dear .Miss Fairfax: .My sister is going around with a man i don’t like. In fact, none of us cares for him. Sister is t’T and has a gift foe pic king suitors we all call "lemons.” "We” are my mother and father, my mar ried sister and her husband and my self. We are all older than Olive, and we feel that she ought to listen to us. There is nothing to he said against the man she likes—but there is nothing to he said for him. Olivo Is pretty and clever and we don't see why she shouldn't better herself when she marries. She says she doesn't ever expect to meet a man we will find satisfactory, but I tell her we love her and wish her well and that if she doesn't find a man we can endorse she is just ns well off single. She has a good position and earns a week. She will never want for anything, because my broth er inlaw and I would see to that. Ilow can we persuade her to sec tilings in the right light? LEMON. r jvcinder if Olive's loving relatives dream how many women are single bec ause they never dbuirt find a sutor who satisfied all the critical facilities et we|l meaning but tnterefering fami lies? 1 have met any number of women who seemed splendidly equipped for home-making, for love and motherhood—for the fulfillment of woman's normal cream of expres sion, and who have been denied fulfill ment by the very thing that threatens olive—"too murli family." ;au«*y, May iJ, —rage a "What does she see in him?" is a common enough remark when a girl announces her engagement to a man whose gifts are not obvious to the casual observer. Hut how can any outsider—even a well meaning, ambitious brother— tell just what satisfies the heart and mind of a woman he tnay not really know ami understand at all even if she is the "little sister" lie has taken for granted from childhood. It is a dangerous thing trying to make or unmake destinies. The fam ily will do well to understand that "Olive” knows what she needs, ami that a grown itp woman has powers • f judgment—tastes and requirements which her family cannot gauge. The fact that a girl has made a suc cess of her career may not indicate that site knows all about men and life—but it does hint, at least, at the fact that site is too indpendent in her judgment to accept "something just ns good" in the place of what her heart dictates is its own.

Why in the world should anyone want to "cultivate jealousy.” Are you sure you asked your qustion properly?

Just the moment you apply Mentlio Sulphur to an itching, burning on broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist.

I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when I grew so weak and rundown I began to use it. I used it three month'. I grew stronger and less nervous.
