_mmw ° J Beatrice Fairfax J" PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX. “Miss Seventeen” Replies to Irma's Letter. Dear Miss Eeatrice Fairfax: May 1 write a letter .in return to the one written by Irma in The Sunday Bee? Inna, as she said, jjrobably is too fastidious to be a bad girl, but she Isn't too fastidious to be very unre fined. Why should she accept the rich men's Invitations and have a so called “good time." Probably while she is amusing herself with these men their own wives are at home sobbing their hearts’ best feelings out on a pillow or other things as comforting. Of course Irma cannot be bothered how many homes she breaks up or how many children are left fatherless because of their dad dy's uhfaithfulness. I have good times myself, but I entertain and am entertained by respectful young peo ple of my own community. I cer tainly am not what is called a saint, but I have too much respect for my self to run loose with a bunch of married men for the sake of a bank roll which has been shaken before my eyes. Irina will not marry one of the bank clerks who would fill her home with the sunshine of their love. They couldn’t give her the accustomed gifts. I’m afraid Irma, you are very wrong and If I were your mother, in stead of a 17-year-old girl I would administer a certain little remedy my mother used to give me as a little girl when I had been especially naughty. v ANNIE. Miss Fairfax: The young couple of 20, with two children, and who .(panage on $22 a week, should be com pjijnipnted and not sneered at. It anfcews that this young couple was ^fbught up right. Economy is the most essential thing in life. This young couple is well mated and both pulling the same harness. They have plenty of time to go to shows and other enjoyments when their children are older and understand it better. Yes, there are plenty of houses a little out that rent for $10 a month. One don’t need to live right in the heart of a city. A man or woman who has to go to the movies every night or who spend all the money they earn, has nothing but divorce staring them in the face. Clothes don’t make people nor do good times make contentment. It is the home, the husband and its environments that make a happy family. Mrs. C. M. J. The couple should Indeed be com plimented. It was not my Intention to sneer at them—far from it. Neith er do I approve of people running to the movies every night in the week, .but as I said before, one must have some recreation and I believe that it would do this couple a world of good to get out among people once in a while. Prudence and Patience: What passes my comprehension is how you can be so deeply In love with two boys when you have only a casual ac quaintance with them. I think you had better learn to know them better before you so succumb to their physi cal charms. It can’t be any more ^Wan that that attracts you If you hardly know them. They should ask your permission to call. It is hardly your place to make the advances. It is not necessary to serve refreshments but if you are looking for something to do why not make candy. I’d omit the kisses If I were you. Oraahans Win at Golf. Mrs. Walter Silver of Omaha made low score at the Lincoln open day tournament Wednesday. Mrs. Clif ford Calkins won the driving and Mrs. W. H.

With a smiling adieu to my mother in-law, I left the sick-room and hur ried down the hall to the bathroom, where I revelled in a needle shower, first warm, then cold, and a brisk rub. Refreshed, and feeling as if X never needed sleep again, I quickly dressed, putting on a warm sweater coat over a walking dress, and donning stout walking shoes and woolen stockings. Then I went down to the kitchen, where Katie greeted me cheerily. “I guess dot ba-bee better, no?" she asked. "I listen me outside door before I coom down, und I hear nod ings, so I think he better." "Yes, Katie, thank you, he is much better," I answered, a little warm feeling in my heart at the affection for my little lad which the girl’s tone and manner showed. And then I sounded the note to which she In variably responds with enthusiasm: "You have something good for breakfast, haven’t you?" sniffing ap preciatively. Katie laughed delightedly. "You shoost like leetle kid, Meesls Graham. Dot nose of yours smell goot tings cooking better anybody I efor seo before. But I no tell you now’. You shoost sit down und let Katie feex you breakfast. You bin out for walk already?” evidently noticing my outing hat and sweater for the first time. "Not yet, Katie," I answered, "but I am going just as soon as I finish my breakfast.” "Valk no goot. You mooch better sleep,” she retorted, but the genuine anxiety In her tones robbed the words of impertinence. “I can’t sleep,” I explained. "But I think perhaps the walk will tire me out and make me sleepy.” "Maybe," she answered, patiently unconvinced. And When I had finished the de licious breakfast of grapefruit, broiled steak, hashed brown potatoes, and my favorite muffins, she still eyed me disapprovingly. "You moochc better go oop to bed now,” she said. “You bln by hot room all night. I frald you catch cold if you go out doors now before you sleep." "No. I won’t.” I returne with pa tience that was becoming a trifle strained. “I had a cold shower and a rub down, and I won’t get chilled.” She put up both hands in horror. "Dose cold showers!” she scolded. "All right! You see! Yen you get vot poor Katie tell you. und den set dot ammonia vunce, den you think too late for anything but flowers.” I smiled at her with an effort as I made my way to the door. "Then you must remember to send me a nice wreath,” I said, and closed the door as I spoke. I was in no mood to listen to any further comments from my well meaning but decidedly irritating little maid. I wondered vaguely if she perhaps suspected the real reason for this early morning stroll, then T put the idea from me as absurd. But I took pains, nevertheless, to go down the road first, and wait until I was well out of sight of the house before walking toward my objective—the old hidden wood road, where, according to Jim, Harry Underwood had brought a car the night before and in It had spirited away the escaping bootleg ger. I tried to persuade myself, as I hurried over the frozen fields, that I was but doing my duty in investi gating the story which Jim had told me. But I was unable to escape the humiliating knowledge that curiosity, and the intriguing interest which all COT RATE Kodak Finishing Printing Each No. 127, 120 and 116 sires... 2c No. 118. 122- and 130 sires... 3c Post cards from any film....- 3c j,jj Roll films developed.

Indeed this thrifty modern helper ranks high among the labor savers that help good housekeepers get their work done quickly, easily, thoroughly and at less cost. The secret of this lies in its character. It is a natural cleanser, mined from the earth. Its very fine particles, due to their flat shape, make complete contact with the surface.They therefore cover more of it and do more cleaning, with less material. It contains no hard, jagged grit which touches the sur face only on its sharp comers and scratches and grinds in the dirt, making cleaning difficult and requiring more frequent cleaning. .Old Dutch removes the dirt—not the surface. Let Old Dutch have the run of the house. You can quickly tell an Old Dutch kitchen things bizarre and out of the ordinary have for me, were the sole reasons for my journey. “I am every whit as ridiculously melodramatic as Mother Graham,” I said to myself crossly las I reached the woodland and pushed aside the thick undergrowth which for so long had concealed the entrance to the road. With eyes sharpened by conjecture, — ' ' — 1 noticed that there were no indica tions of anyone else having disturbed the matted vines, and realized that, even in their hurry, the fleeing men had taken the precaution to hide the trace of their entrance. There were no prints of automobile tires upon the beginning of the old road, and I walked several rods down it before I suddenly came upon two parallel ribbons, discernible only be cause the sheltered ground in here was not so frozen as the exposed fields outside. They ended as abrupt ly as if they had been cleft with a knife, and while I stood puzzling over the fact that nowhere was there any indication of a machine being turned around, I heard a familiar, drawling voice from the clump of evergreens nearest me, and wheeled to see Harry I Underwood step out into the path. "Can’t you figure out how 1 man aged it! I-ady Fair?" he asked mock ingly. Returns from Philippines. Mrs. Henry S.
