But there is insanity in hen family. It is her mother. She seems to be all right now, but was insane for several months years ago. My sister is, urg ing me not to marry this girl, fiut I don’t feel that it is right for us to give up our life's happiness for some thing that may never happen. What is your opinion? 1 GEORGE. You should both see a reputable ph yslclan. My own opinion is that marriage in this case would be ail right. Insanity seems to be hereditary In some cases, but there are stray cases which depend upon health of the body rather than condi tion of the mind. Very often mothers become insane following the birth of a child. It is a physical rather than a mental condition. Troubled: No world is as had as the one you describe. I do not lack sympathy fonyou in your discourage ment, but I do deplore your attitude of self-pity. People don't speak to you, your babies cry when you take them to places, your husband is un kind, and a long list of complaints you make may be true. The world is harsh sometimes. But there is al ways something good to hope and strive for. What kind of children will yours he if you bring them up In that atmosphere of discouragement and helplessness? You must culti vate a more cheerful outlook. You are mucfi too sensitive. People are careless, but not wilfully cruel as a general rule. Depend less on other people and more on your own state of mind and you will be happier . He Is Moody. Dear Miss Allen: I am IS years old and going with a boy'18 who Hays he loves m». Rut there are times when he pays no attention to me and doesn't seem to care whether I like him or not. Then he comes back and :s just the «ame as he was. Do you think he cares for me. T. D. The boy has a moody disposition. People with such natures should trv to control them and not make others unhappy by their changeability. You are both much too young to be ser iously in love. Miss Marian Rainalter will return home Thursday from a visit in Kan sas City. Adele Garrison “My Husband's Love” • J X—--—.. • The Reason Madge Knew Lillian's Plana Were Working. Mrs. Marks' excited, falsetto was suddenly rut short, and. standing be hind Lfilian. I heard the low, savage, “shut up" with which her husband greeted her exclamation. But from the gratified look upon | Lillian's face as she softly closed the door again, I realized that the doughty Mr. Marks had been a trifle, late with his mandate. Most patent ly the shrill exclamation was a signal agreed upon btween my neighbor and Lillian to announce the arrival of "Fetey" Marks ami his friends at his home. Just why Lillian should wish the Information I could not Imagine, hut that she did wish it, and that it counted materially in her plans. 1 knew as soon as she had closed the door, by the timbre of her voice—1 could not now see her face for the darkness of the room—as she said: “No more sleep for us. old dear.” Then she switehed on her powerful flashlight, being careful, I noticed, to keep Its rays directed to the floor along which she groped her way to the bed. “Nothing to do now but wait." she suld softly. "We might ns well lie down and relax as much as possible, though. But don't go to sleep and don't worry." I smiled to myself In the darkness at this last injunction. What woman in the world could help being dis turbed over a situation where she expected something mysteriously me nacing, yet with no Idea of what the Imminent danger might he. Uncannily, Lillian sensed the smile, anil, reaching over to my side of the bed, groped for my hand and gripped it reassuringly. “I know," she whispered. "It hasn't been quite cricket for mo not ' to tell you the reason for all this foklerol, but you know how It fusses tne to take my nose from the ground." “One Things Worries Met" “There is no doubt that you wore a hunting dog In your Inst Incarna tion.” I whispered back, returning the grip of her hand. As usual, she had defllv extracted the poison from the sting sho un wittingly had given me, ami 1 was glad Pi hear the relnxed note in the almost Inaudlblble chuckle that was nil she permitted herself In the way of mirth. “I him certain of It," she whispered. ‘‘But besides that feeling of mine, 1 •m not sure Juet what is going to happen tonight—perhaps nothing at all. And I certainly should f<-el like being labeled the prize donkey If I •pilled a lot of dope to you that never materialized." "X am perfectly content to know nothing or everything," 1 said, un grudgingly. "There is only one thing that worries—" I paused tentatively. "That I left the door unlocked?" she countered, anil I knew that her lips were quirked into a smile. "If you know It. I am not worried," I said. "A very neat response." she com mented. approvingly. "Yes, I left It unlocked purposely. And now"—I saw the treated surface of her wrist watch fsce gleaming in the darkness as she lifted it inspeetingly—"I think we'd better stop even our whispering for a while." There followed « silence which sorely tried my nerves. Our conver sation had districted my mind from Ihe mysterious activity Lillian's prep arations foretold, but when It reased and I lay' still, with every muscle and nerve fiber taut, I could not rein in rny imagination, and I heard a thou sand queer noises, visualized twice that number of sinister, creeping fig ures In the halls of the apartment house, with our door unlocked be tween us, and whatever of menace might lie without. Did Lllllnn share my excitement? I wondered. Now that the friendly darkness screened her expression, did her fnee hold the same indomitable look with which she always confronts a task, or had she dropped her guard during the brief respite from the thing she was combating? I could tell nothing from her breathing, for it whs as regular as a baby's, but from my long knowledge of her I surmised that If 1 suddenly were to flash a light Into her face I should find there no chsnge In her usual calm and resolute mien. It was perhaps half an hour that I lay there—waiting. Then, through the silence there came to my sharpened ears the closing of the outside apart ment door. It was a common sound at any hour of the night, but Lillian raised herself in the bed. In a tense attltudo of listening. > There was no sound of footsteps mounting the stairs, but a few see onds later I heard the stealthy open lug of the door from the entrance hall Into that of our npartment. Lillian was on her feet Immediate ly, ami then our door opened, and, outlined by the faint hall light out side, a slender, boyish figure fnlrly hut led itself into,the room. r_; *\ Closing ’Em Out . t-u-e-s-d-a-y Summer Voiles, Waists Dimit i«», | \i *o 2.75.
