•HEW! ~ Too Much Self Assurance By MARTHA ALLEN. Dear Miss Allen: It seems that every rfime I give a man a square deal he just turns around and does some thing to hurt me. Being just 21 and fairly good look ing, I always have admirers, but I am always disappointed in them. They take me to the theater, to the best roof gardens, tell me"that I have a wonderful personality and then with out any warning whatsoever just drop out of my lift AVhile with ehem I never talk too much about me, hut try to make my self as charming as possible. As far ns sport* are concerned I go in for most everything such as swimming, riding, rowing and am considered an all round athlete. My educatlou is fairly good ami I am never embar rassed because of not knowing what to do or say at the proper time. Kverything runs smoothly during the evening—but still I lose out in the end. Can you solve (his problem that is becoming quite a serious one witli »e? x. y. ■/. Perhaps you repel people by your satisfaction with yourself. It doesn’t have to bo expressed in words, it can lie felt in a certain over bearing self assurance. Don’t try to make your self charming, don’t handle the con versation to suit yourself, but try to ilnd out what really interests the other person concerned. Your letter reveals that you are self-centered and inclined to think the world owes you consideration and attention. Adele Garrison 4,Mv Husband’s Love”' llow Madge Was Braced I p by Lillian. With a swift movement, Dicky ' lapped his hand lightly over Lillian's Up.". "That will he about all from you,” he said. "Of course, leave it to me,” JLt' he caught the look of swift re proach I sent hint. "1 certainly can spill all the beans on a Boston Sat urday night. But how did 1 know the mere mention of the Braithwaltes would give you the rabies'.' What has my poor sister or her husband," his voice broke into an affected falsetto tremolo, "over done to vou^that you should wish to fly from their pres ence as if they bore the plague in their train?” "Oh. stop your nonsense, Dicky,” Lillian retorted, impatiently, "1 want to talk lo somebody with sense.” He seized his hat in pretended dudgeon and grasped Marion by tlie hand. "Fly with me, little one,” he com manded, dragging her to the door, while the little girl giggled delighted ly, the tribute she always gives to Dicky’s absurdities. "That mother of yours, if she had her way'—” \ "Would have you sent to Belle vW,” Lillian shot after him. "Mind you bring that child back here in side of 15 minutes, or I’ll send the kidnaping squad after you.” He made an impudent grimace at her and then retreated rapidly to the hall outside. Lillian turned to me determinedly'. "Don’t he- foolish? Madge,” she said. "I know what you have on hand • ‘Tn ‘in-laws’ on a visit. You don’t want any outside distractions—” "But l do want you." I broke out vehemently, the troubled remem brance of the recent mystifying oc currences flashing anew upon me. “I—I need you, Lillian. The Braith Waites ha\e nothing to do with—” I tried to keep my voice from ti -milling, hilt evidently I did not suc ceed, for Lillian witli a keen glance at me, took off her hat and begun to draw off her gloves. A woman with pel i ptions less rapierlike would have tun her arms around me and sent me into the fit of weeping I was struggling' to stave off. hut Lillian invariably strikes the correct note. Madge Lvpiaiiis to Lillian. “Wluic shall f put our traps? she ask'ii without looking at me, and J led th way to the bedroom with much the lieling of a shipwrecked marine! who has just climbed into .the iescu ing life boat. “Here, and here.” I indicated hooks in the wardrobe and dressing room which I htnj vacated for her out of my own scanty space, and showed lieria corner where she could deposit licr suitcases. Khe east a mirthful glance around and patted me lightly on the ahoulder. "Dy'e think I’ve turned elnerna star In n.y old age?” she demanded. “One of these double hooks for my cloak, Marion’s, and two frocks are all the room I need. You ran shovel jour things back into the dresser ^ drawers and relieve the outrageous ,* 4 -ssure upon those hooks.” She pointed to my gowns crowded togeth er In undeniably cramped quarters. “Remember, I'm well used to living in a suitcase, ami we're to be here for only one night. But tell me, what are the Braithwait.es lining so far frpm their usual stamping grounds?” I told her rapidly of little -Mrs. llurkee's serious ailment and Impend ing operation, to whirh she paid the tribute of shocked silence for several seconds after I had finished. "Then—I’ll Stay." "Why can't a thins like that hit somebody Us size?" she demanded savagely after a bit. “Aren’t there enough his. useless hulk* of both men and women justly deserving the hangman, without a dear little woman like Mis. Durkee being hanged over the head?” •■( kmm-.'’ I returned understand ingly. “And the worst of It la, there's liolhing anybody can do—” "Except stand by, as I very welt know you are doing,1’ she rejoined. "When is the operation?” "As soon as possible after Dr. Dr illhwalte sees her. I believe. He will rest here tonight. I have an apartment on the next floor for them and I suppose he will go to Marvin tomorrow. Then we shall know def initely what to expect." “It-rrr,” I.llllnn gave a shiver, "I don't know of anything much more horrible than waiting around for n surgeon to deride Just where he's go ing to slash you. Give me an apron, toil, lady, and tell me, honestly, do you want inn to stay over tomorrow • |i.ii you? I can easily change my Lilians If you need me." She avoided looking at me and 1 • ought at her hand. "You needn't he careful about giv ing me sympathy any longer, you Wonderful, understanding woman," l I Honor Guest at Luncheon Mrs. Charles Bryan, wife of Gov ernor Bryan of Lincoln, will arrive Saturday morning to be an’ honor guest at the luncheon to be given by the Omaha Woman's club for Miss Grace Abbott of Washington, D.
