Girl Admits Breaking Hearts
r
Youths Suffer for Her Charms
—Troubles Multiply and
, She Seeks W ay Out of
Love Tangle.
By MARTHA AI.IJ5N.
HERE'S a girl of 21 who lores a
young man of 39 and vows It
isn't puppy love because It has
lasted, at least as far as he Is con
cerned. The young man, she claims,
lias been kept out of many scrapes
by her efforts. In other words, she has
been playing the lovely role of mother
nnd ehe thinks it's love. Now she has
another admirer of 16 years who
claims to be desperately In love with
her. "I don't know what It 1* about me
but when a boy goes with ine he
doesn't want to quit,” she writes. The
reason for the attraction might be
that she Is so boyish and doesn't
let every Tom, Dick and Harry put
their arms around her, she nays.
Many promises are made to the first
boy after he breaks down and cries
for her attention but when she goes
back to the town In which she is
working, the other youth with his

pep end car is a mg attraction, ns
all a grand entanglement with only
the poor Judgment of youth to blame.
Any girl who encourages young
swains only to put them aside when
they become too ardent In their de
votion, Is bound to end In the con
quest with no glory and lots of dis
credit
Grace: A woman no longer takes
a man's arm in the daytime unless
to cross a very crowded thoroughfare
or to be helped over a rough piece of
road. In accompanying a woman any
where at night,' a man always offers
his arm. In this way he gives his as
sistance In the dark. Otherwise the
only times for the man to offer his
arm to a woman are taking her In to a
supper at a ball> at a formal dinner,
or when he Is an usher at a wedding.
The present fashion is to walk side
by side when crossing a ball room,
never arm tn arm. Etiquet does not
permit a man to take a woman's arm.
A. B. C.—If your parpnts object to
beaus because you are only 15 years,
accept their judgment. It may seem
hard now to abide by their wishes
but you’ll1 thank them for it In later
years. There is no harm In stopping
to talk to boys you meet on the street
if you do not prolong the conversa
tions to a visit and block the traffic.
Tour home is the place for such
visits t'nder formal circumstances a
woman Is supposed to speak to a man
first on the street but persons who
know each other will bow spontane
ously without observinb this etiquet.
A. A.: Ear rings ere still In vogue,
the pendant style leading in favor.

“My Hugband’s Love”
Harriet Asked Madge an Important
Question.
Lillian’s hand upon my shoulder
awakened me the next morning, and
I started up from the deep sleep which
always follows one of my nervous
headaches with unreasoning fright.
“Has anything — -•?'* I began
wildly, but Lillian, with her usual
prompt understanding, answered
my Inquiry before I finished it.
"Everything Is all right," she said
emphatically, “hut I knew you wanted
to get tip before the Braithwaites
went, so, much as I hated to disturb
you, I JuSt did that little thing."
I sprang out of our bed with a
•frantic look at my watch.
“Got up before they go!" I echoed.
"I wanted to go with them."
Almost any other woman In the
world would have reminded me that
I had given no intimation on my part
before of any Intention on my part
of taking the journey to Marvin. But
Lillian only asked briefly:
"What time does the train leave?”
I told her, while I rummaged In
the dresser for, storking* and lingerie.
"All right. You can do It. Just
get dressed. I'll attend to everything
else."
As I drew on my shoes, I heard
her quick footsteps going down the
hall to the kitchen, knew that she
was beginning the preparation of my
breakfast. Then back to the living
room she hurried, and called through
the door.
"Do the Bralthwaltes know you are
going?”
“No. I forgot to tell them, I was
so upset last night.”
"Shall I do It now, and see about
their taxi?”
"You dear!” I said fervently.
"You're not half strong enough,"
she retorted, "hut you can save the
rest until we see each other again.
Your coffee Is over, and the tea
kettle also. I’ll poach you an egg
when I get back. Don't you dare to
go near that, kitchen. I'll have plenty
of time.”
The last words floated hack to me
from the hall door which I heard
close after her. I went on with my
dressing, secure In the knowledge that
It waa the only thing which could
concern me, and crammed a few
things Into an overnight bag, for the
possible contingency of wishing to
spend the night at the Durkees.' Lil
lian was hack hefore I had finished,
and I heard Harriet Braithwaite's
calm contralto, and her husband's
boomjng bass, as the door opened.
"We were Just coming down,"
Harriet said. "The telephone is out
of order in the apartment upstairs. Do
you know the number of the nearest
taxi service?”
"Sl.odge does.” Lillian enswered.
"She’ll tell you. Pardon me, please,
I’m running a quick lunch room
clown the hall. Is there anything I
can serve you?”
“We Just breakfasted, thank you,"
my sister-in-law replied with a
laugh, then I heard her knock upon
the bedroom door.
"That number Is -” I began.
"Here's the number, Edwin,” slie
said, and repeated it after me to her
husband. I waa a bit surprised at
her leaving the taxi summons to him.
for she always saves him every de

tall, but I understood the reason,
when, as he took down the receiver,
and began the Inevitable death grap
ple with central, ahe spoke In a low
voice.
"May I oome In, Margaret?"
'"Of course," I threw the door open,
admitting her, and at the sight of her
■trained eyes, closed It as quickly.
"Will you tell me exactly what you
think of something?” «he asked tense
ly
"Of course,” I returned.
"Ough I, under the circumstances,
to go down to Marvin with Edwin?
ITou know he always wants me to go
everywhere with him, but—well—
you'll think I’m becoming senile—on
account of Mrs, Blckett’s—being there
—I wouldn’t want her or anyone else
to think—that—I ”
She stopped confusedly, and In
merciful understanding I finished her
sentence.
“That you couldn’t let him out of
your sight. Nonsense, Harriet, you
are getting morbid. Katherine Blckett
is the last person in the world to
imagine such a thing, and the rest
of them know noticing. So come right
along and stop your nonsense. It
Isn’t worthy of you.

What Germany as Paid,
Can Pay, and I ust Pay
Now that the United States, acting in harmony with England and France, has taken a definite
step toward rehabilitating the chaotic conditions in Europe, it will be instructive to the American
people to know somewhat definitely what Germany agreed to pay under the Versailles treaty, what
she has already paid, and what she can pay, if forced to do so. *
In THE LITERARY DIGEST this week, the voice of public opinion is heard in discussion of
Secretary Hughes’ arrangement with the allied nations. A full explanation of the scope of the
inquiry and what it may or mav not accomplish is presented. In a supplementary news-feature, a
survey has been made by THE DIGEST which shows the condition of the German debt at the pres
ent time The public has been bewildered for m any months by the contradictory statements that
have appeared from time to time in various sources estimating Germany’s capacity to pay and the
sum she has already paid in one way or another. A reading of THE DIGEST this week will do
much to bring order out of this confusion. Other news-features, unusually good, are:
Bad News For British Rum Runners
If the propose<i*arrangement, including a treaty
with Britain, is O. K.’d by the Senate. “Secretary
Mellon’s fleet of submarine chasers should now be
able to end marine bootlegging.”
The War Within the
Churches Grows Serious
If the present controversy between the Funda
mentalists and the Liberals in the Protestant church
grows more bitter, it may involve the whole Protes
tant body in “the ugliest, nastiest, most damning
qparrel any community ever knows—a church war.”
Jabbing the Hard Coal Jobber
There seems to be an impression in the minds
of many leading editors that "the real culprit in the
coal pile is the coal jobber or speculative whole
saler.”
