"Did you ever stop to think that per fect understandings between two people U often spoiled forever by the careless Interference of an outsider?" said Miss Inez Plummer, who Is playing the lead ing, role In "Too Many Cooks." "Outsiders don't realize how very wonderful young love really Is, and the many seemingly absurd Incidents that are of great interest and Importance to any newly engaged couple frequently hold a tear close behind a laugh. In the first place, older people don't under stand. If they have ever been young and In love, they have forgotten the accompanlng Incidents, and In their contemptatlon of a novel undertaking they become so Interested In the situa tion Itself that they forget the young people around whom the entire plot Is woven! "There Is always an afterward to everything, even 'Loves Young Dream,' and when that afterward puts In an ap pearance things are never Quite the same. Isn't the fun about a thing the looking forward to It, and the planning of It? And no matter how sweet are the memories connected with It, the little thrills, of unexpectedness, the childish belief that what Is coming Is not going to be like anything else that ever went before, can never be lived over again. "And so the time before marriage of two young people, and the time, after It for at least a year, should belong abso lutely and entirely to the boy and girl Interested. How they feather the nest can Interest no one so much as It does themselves, for with each new idea comes a franker; a newer understanding, and through the opening of each new window comes a deeper and stronger way of loving. Young love is very strange, very Inconsistent, very strong and very sweet. There comes a time when common sense and even-tempered friendship come to take Its place, and that Is why young love should be allowed RESINOL STOPS DANDRUFF AND LOSS OF HAIR If you are troubled with loss of hair, or with dandruff, eczema or other scaly.

"Somehow that poem of Rollly's, 'An Old Sweetheart of Mine,' suggests a possibility of love as it should be. Lovo grown old, biit still a wonderful love, perhaps not a continuation of the fiery, heady love of youth, but something a llttlo bigger, a little finer, a love that has brooked no Interference from any one, but which of its own accord has developed almost divine proportions. It's all very worth while this wondorfu) Intangible love. Quite worth while leaving alone to work out Its own destiny. I am sure of it, and I know you all agree with me.". Little Mary's By DOROTHY DIX. Friends Is people that you have to say 'dear" to when you feel nil "darn" Inside. When a person says she is your friend you better watch out, because that Is the way folks start out when 'they are going to say some thing that will make you hopping mad, but that you have got to forgive because It was a friend that said It. Friends Is the most truth telling est nation of peoplo that there is, and they always tell you about your faults, but a nemy says nice things to you. When' Gertrude Jones tells me that I have got red hair and a snub nose and walk pigeon-toed, she always says that the reason she tells me that is be cause she Is my friend. I like my enemies better than I do my friends. There are a great many kinds of friends. There Is your Old Friend that you used to know before your papa made money, and you got a automobile, and you pretend that you don't know her when you meet her on the street, and you say to her, "You must come to see me sometimes," but you don't se any day for her to come. And there's your Intimate Friend that you tell your secrets to, and that he tells to her Intimate Friends, and you wonder how It got out And there's your New Friend that you brag about because she's got real dia monds and lives on Fifth avenue (iv v - Then there Is yr-ur Tapa r Friends that i rjour Mamma sais are nth'ng but soaks J Why Women Lie About Their Ages Ily ADA PATTERSON. With genuine Interest I took up a book fresh from the presses and with deep illsapointnient placed it an obscure corner of the book ense that stands In the darkest corner of my study. It 's painful to bo often reminded of un pleasant things and It would have been distinctly unpleas ant to face often thoso purple covers that stood to mo for an unpleasant fact. I had taken up the book and begun turning Its leaves with interest be cause Its subject was women. I la'd rra It down with deep disappointment bccatiso it drove home the intellectual dishonesty of many of my sex. Tho book Is a compilation of the addresses and an outline of the careers of women of more or loss prominence In tho nation. They were women who for the most part might be rogarded as leaders of thought among American women. There thought habits might bo safely taken as n criterion of tho mental habits of other women of their country. They are In some sense plllara of light In the dnrk places along which women Journey. Their life stories are an inspiration. Their biographies were tho keys by which other women presumbaly might solve their personal problems. Yet pitiably many of the women stood revealed In these pages as guilty of contemptible weakness, that Intellectual dishonesty which causoo one to dodgo a fact. In plain, unsoftcned English tho women had lied about their ages. I would hnvo refused to bellcvo thu Matemont hud anyone made It to me. 1 should have thought, as you may be thinking now of me, that one who said so Is mistaken. But It happened that I know well some of them and recall their own remarks about their ages. Those lomarks of a few years ago tallied sadly with the rec ords spread In tho disappointing book. Tho picture persists In my memory of sit ting at a tnblo in a little wayside restau rant chatting with one of them. Confi dences led to the subject of ago. By her statement at tlmt tlmo she was seven years older than I.. By the reoord In the purple covered book she Is now four years younger. Tho Instances of dishon esty in llttlo things multiplied. Why? Some of the women I know to possess courage. In tho big crises of their lives I know they could bo depended upon to stand firm and turn a brave fnce to the Inevitable. But here were thoy, l.ke any sneakthlcf, stealing their years and run ning away with them. They were pitiably unnecessary lies. It was not necessary to tell their ages. If for reasons of business or sentiment they preferred to keep the Becret It was their privilege to withhold it. Reticence on that point would not be exclusively feminine. A famous Judge, honored and deserving honor, on the New York bench, declines to tell his age, nor has anyone ever dis covered the secret. The reason Is obvious. An age limit is placed upon the service of Judges, and believing himself still to be as competent as he ever was, and pre ferring that emolument continue he guards his secret as tho Sphinx Its tonguo. But theeo women rush foolishly Into print with a silly falsehood, one easily proven. Sirico age brings wisdom and cxpcrienco Is valuable, It Is unlikely that they will tell these untrue tales becauso they fear their glory will bo discounted. There can bo but or.o other reason. Of that the acceptance Is unweleomely forced upon us. It Is the last flame of romanco flaring In her nature. It Is reluctance to admit that no longer will she be sought In marriage. You who charge woman with revolt and with sex antagonism be comforted. So long as women He about their ages the male of the human species i still holds by their rating his exalted j place. Essays (Friends) and no better than they should be, and that she won't stand for, and the dinner is always mean when your Papa's Friends come to visit him. Friends have lots of baggage and they always bring It along when thoy come to see you, which makes It so they can stay a long tlmo. I guess Friends Is very fond cf visiting because they don't wait to be asked to come. They come anyway. Friends is also renowned for their bor rowing. If you have got lots of friends you haven't got a nickel to your name becouso they have borrowed all your money and your new hat and your tooth brush nnd everything you havo got. Peo plo who are rich never havo any friends. They wouldn't be rich If they had friends. We should all try to make friends be causo they keep us poor and humble. This Is alt that I know at present about friends. Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. Which Do Yon I. over Dear Miss Fairfax: I am IS and in love with two young men, one 22 and the other 26. No. 1 hasn't anything but a good po sitlon and Is very. Jolly and believes In a Rood time. I am of the same disposition. No, 2 Is very settled and Independent, but doesn't care for parties and such amuse ments as I do. He makes good money and saves It. Which do you advise me to take, as I am to choose one of the two? j. Both of these men may attract you, but you cannot be In love with two at onee. You must decide for yourself which one you really care for If you find thu man who has characteristics that contrast with your oh n absolutely congenial, a mar rlago with h!m would probably prove happy In that you would counteract eai-l other's faults nnd balance each other's 'qualities, When two butterflies mate there iiwi nw wmii; turn ma its i uri t Is tlkely to be Utile stability In the honw they found.

According to tho very sensible rule, thnt you must catch your rabbit before you can cook it, It seems but fair that In telling the story of the men who made America the first place should be given to the man who dis covered America and took out tho patent on It. As .Injiii Flske has said, It would be ridiculous to com pare Cabot's achtove with that of Colum bus, who showed the way across tho "fc'ca of Darkness," but at the name time it is well to remem ber that It was Cabot who, since the days of the Vikings, first set foot upon the continent of North America. It was June 24, 1137 (17 years ago tjiat John Cabot was granted tho first glimpse that a white man had ever had nf the shores of Continental America. It was about 6 o'clock In the morning, and hero before the great captain's gaze lay the rocky coast of Iahador, Its stunted firs and mots-covered boulders, touched into gold by the sun god's smile. Tho commander upon landing planted a banner and took possrsslon c-t the region Jn the name of the English sovereign, John Cabot, undor whose authority he had made tho discovery, after which ho returned to England, where ho was roctlved with high honors, dressed In silk anil given tho title of th.; "Great Admiral." Cabot made his memorublo voyage In a single vessel named the Mnthew, with a crew of but eighteen men. It was a quick trip. Betting out from Uristol curly In May. ho made tho great discovery and was back aga'n In Jirlstol by the end of July, having made the round trip in some thing lens than two months. Tho following year (1418) Sebastian Cabot. John's son, set sail from Uristol In six ships, discovered Newfoundland, sailed along the const for a long diKuncc, probably as far south as the present city of Charleston. 8.

After his mar riage wo hear but little more of him. He seems to have dropped at once Into "Innocuoun desuetude" and almost total cllpso. John Cabot, the first white man since Uef Erlcson to set oye or foot upon the North American continent, was born, like Columbus, In Genoa, Italy. We know but little of him. but that little la quite com plimentary to h'm. He seems to have been scrupulously truthful. Upon his return from the dis covery of the bleak and inhospitable La hradorlan roast, for example, ho abso lutely refused to go into the Arabian Nlghtfl or Munchausen business, i shade tho face. It is of deeper green silk with puffed ruffle at the odgo. Tho handle is of Jado banded In silver. Tho second "tollettd" Is a most original creation In chocolate, old bluo and whito.

A broad girdle of vtfhlto falllo heavily cm brolderod In bluo, saffron and chocolate fastens with throo large but tons. This matorinl forms a waistcoat ovor which hangs a llttlo coat of chocolate cropo do clilno, with cuffs and square collar of dooper brown toffota. Hero, too, we havo a noto in favor of tho popularity of the parasol. Tho ono carried with this has a stick of whito enamel handled in bluo ngato.

He told them how his ves sel had literally "nlouched Its way through shoals of codfish" off the Grand I Bunks of Newfoundland, and the story J camo pietty near being his finish. Omi of the scribes of the day Informs us that I "Master John, being poor und a foreigner, would havo been set down as a llui had not his crew, who wore mostly Uristol men, confirmed evcr thing he said about tho codfish."

The man whose discovery effectuated this deserves to stand first among the makers of America. f
