Beatrice Fairfax PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEX. Bott.v Joan: It's quit* a muddle, Isn't It? I truly think the young man should be asking you to set a wed ding date. You were right to repulse evidences of affection. They are not the right thing always even when one la engaged. However, I don’t believe I'd give hira up. It was cer tainly honest In him to tell you the details of that ride, although, if you are engaged, he should not be going with other girl*. After all, it's prob ably best to follow your mother’s advice. Mothers know quite a lot usually, especially where their daugh ter are concerned. Mrs. J. B. No one can become the poRseesor of another'll soul. That is one of the simplest, most basic facts In life, and yet the world Is full of folks who make themselves miserable In trying to disprove facts. Women, In particular, have a pitiful way of trying to establish complete possession when they love. This may come as a direct result of their mother Instinct. To direct snd guide a child, to keep it from stumbling and to help it work out It* relations to life is a glorious mother-function. And, of course, all this is tied up with the fact that the child is flesh of its mother's flesh and soul of her soul. This beautiful mother Instinct be comes a predatory and blindly ravag Ing force, however, when It tries to lit grown-up^ Into the scheme of de- t pendency where only children belong. Most grown ups, who are real < grown ups and not mental children In mature bodies, like doing things for themselves. A real man wants to make his own i way in the world._ THE NEBBS- -HAIL! HAIL!

To find yourself dowered with a lot of useless kindness Is annoying and irritating Most of us resent the overwhelm Jng attempts to be kind which are <i fered by one who Is more Interested in her own efforts to do things for folks than delicately to wait the real opportunity to give needed service. The woman who has a sense of possession tries to establish her claims to others either by giving too much or by demanding too much. Either method of treating folks repels them and makes them struggle to retain their independence of action. When man or woman is left free to express himself or'herself honestly he or she is far more likely to give loyal ty and devotion tlian when It is de manded as tribute. Suppose your husband likes to chat with pretty girls—it Is the right of any human being to express himself honestly and decently. Ily demand ing all the attention and time of an other you seek to enslave him or her. The normal Instinct of freeborn humanity is freedom. Don't forget that. Don't forget to establish claim to another person's soul. For the mo ment you insist on your right to gov ern some one else, that moment you urge to the surface of the other per son’s miml the normal desire to prove that he Is a free human with the right to express himself. The Way Madge Slipped Off on Her Errand of Merry. Katie opened the kitchen door as I approached, and I saw in her hand the police whistle with which she sig nals Jim at the barn or in the woods. It is the one which Dicky bought her, as he declared, in selfdefense against the ear splitting and long continued shrieks of "Oh-h, Jeemi” with which she used to summon her patient spouse, and the whistle is one of Katie's most cherished possessions "Eet makes me feel like a real oop," she declared when she first used It, and she never has lost her first childish pride in it. I put up my hand imperatively as I saw it. "Don't blow that, Katie,’’ I said sharply. "Vjr?" Katie replied Incredulously. "Dot Jeem he no hear me else I blow eet. und I vant heem to carry dinner for dose leetie schilders over at oder house.” I had to make a decision quickly Jim had asked me not to tell Katie that he meant to go after the man for whom the officers were searching, and who, Jim was sure, was in our wood lot. Rut unless she knew the truth, she would go to the barn after him. and spoil his plan of tracking the fugitive. Katie Is Terrified. With a mental apology to Jim. I drew her inside the kitchen and told her of her husband's purpose. If I ever had had a doubt of her whole hearted devotion to Jim. it would have been banished when I saw the color fade from my little maid's ruddy cheeks, and stark terror creep into her blue eyes. "Oh! but my Missis Graham,” she wailed, "my Jeem he get kilt. I go qveek out dere, make heem stop.” She started for the door, but I caught her by the.arm and swung her around facing me. "It is too late to stop him. Katie.” I said sternly. "And if you go out there now. you will only let the man who is hiding know that Jim is com ing. You would not only spoil your husband s plan, but your going out there may even endanger his life. Be a sensible girl, and let me call Mrs. Ticer to help you carry the nice din ner you have prepared for those poor children, and I want you to promise me you won't go out after Jim until 1 come back ” "Vere you goin'?" "Just down to the village to bring 'that mother bai k to her baby.” I re plied. ' And 1 can't leave you until you have given me your promise.” She stood a long, hesitant minute, j and then her tear filled eyes met mine steadilv. ’’Oh. Missisi My Rabee!” "I promise," she said. “Vere dot Missis Tfver?” "Ml fetch her.” I promised, and went up tha stairs, meeting my mother in law in the hal! above. "Do you mean to say you haven't started yet?” she demanded. "I could have walked to Sag Haxborand back again by this time.” I explained about Jim quickly, and made my request for Mrs. Ticer.

But If you don’t wish—" "I'leaso understand, Margaret." she replied ]<tly, "that I> shall not permit you to put me In the posit Ion of re fusing aid to starving children, how every much you would like to do so. If you will attend to your own share of this business and get that mothe back to her baby w ithout wasting any more time trying, to run everything else. I’ll see that those young ones over there get (something to eat with Just about one-tenth of the fuss you're making." It taxed my self control to Ignore this manifestly unjust tir.id», but I even managed a nonchalant "All light," as I turned away. Back In the kitchen I whispered a. warning to Katie of my mother in law’s proximity, and hurried out to my car, selfishly glad to get away for a few minute- from the eider wo man’s captious-ness. I went straight to the v !1, ge "lockup," a primitive place like most of its kind, for all pr.: oners were usually disposed of before r,i it by release or parole, or removed t the. county jail at Rlverhead. The woman who had talked to me across the fence was huddled miser ably in a chair, while her husband sat despondently on a bench near her. The man did not look up as I entered, but when the woman caught s.ght of me, she sprang forward and caught at my coat. "Oh! Missis, plees, Missis.

July 19.—The War de partment is "urging suff.eient pre paredness for defense” because "there exists the possibility of war which might even involve our own country." Secretary of War Weeks has written the American peace award commit tee. created by Edward S. Bok. In his letter made public here, Mr. WJeeks emphasizes the assertion "that fin the present agitated state of the world, peace of the world is not assured.” Americans, however, the secretary wr.tes. "would not countenance th.s country engaging in a war of aggression.” All Sick People owe it to themselveo to at least investigate Chiropractic.
