My Thoughts Go Forth

My thoughts go forth. Imperial in their might.
Wearing a crown of light.
Proudly they go to meet
Commander Time with his incoming fleet
Of splendid years. Oh, we are not afraid
Of this world ruler, albeit he has made
Havoc on land and sea; turned mighty kings
To homeless outcasts; rifled beauty's court
In wanton sport;
And In oblivion's dust flung down sublime
And precious works of art. But there are nobler things
Set to the credit of deRpoller Time.
He has filled deserts full of bloom and song;
On patient worth bestowed large recompense;
Taught poverty the way to opulence,
And righted many a wrong.
Therefore we have no fears
(We who have learned the secret of our birth)
Of Time and all his years.
For they are ours, to master and control.
Mothered by earth.
Straight back to God our fatherhood we trace,
Ours is the strength of that great Oversoul,
And ours the vast uncounted wealth of Space.
Time, though I gave you my youth.
You must repay in full measure;
Wisdom and knowledge and truth
These I demand from your treasure;
These I demand to bestow .
On the hungering world as I go.
Years, I have given you faith;
Now I claim all I inherit;
Health that discourages death
Beauty that comes from the spirit.
Life that gains sweetness and zest.
And an ever young heart in my breast.
My thoughts go forth Imperial in their might.
Wearing a crown of light;
Proudly they go to meet
Commander Time with his Incoming fleet
Of splendid years.
The Girl Who Complains
of Tyrannical Parents
Stand Anything Short of JPerse
cution Rather Than Leave Home.

Ultra respectable
By DOROTHY DIX.
Copyright, 1912, by Star Company.
I get many letters from girls who com
plain of their parents' tyranny, and ask
my advice about leaving home.
To these I can give only one piece of
counsel, and that Is
don't do It, girls.
Stand anything short
of persecution rather
than leave home, for
there is no other
protection that a girl
can possibly have
that Is equal to her
father's roof.
The girl who has
no home but a board
ing house, or a
rented room, la al
ways under suspicion,
no matter how good
and straight she
may be. She finds it
difficult even to
get a lodging In the
kind of places in
which she should live,
doors are barred to her, because conven
tion has decreed that goung girls must not
roam about the world alone, and whether
you like it or not, convention makes the
standard by which we are all Judged.
Also, the young girl who does not live
at home la regarded as fair game for any
wicked and unprincipled man to stalk.
She Is never safe, because she is unpro
tected. She has no father to resent her
wrongs, no brother to watch over her,
and so the villain dares treat her as he
would not treat a girl who had her
family at her back.
A home, even the poorest and humblest
one, gives a girl a standing. It Is a
patent of respectability that Is even of
material advantage to her, for practically
all employers In hiring their female as
sistants give the preference to girls who
live at home.
As for marriage, a home enormously
increases a girl's chances of getting the
right sort of husband. Men may like to
amuse themselves with girls who are foot
loose and without restraint, who live a
Bohemian life with other girls, and
who are free to come and go at any hour
of the day and night they please, but
when a man picks out his wife he doesn't
go to the girl bachelor establUhment to
do It.
He goes to a home to find her, and It
does not detract from the girl's value In
New Skin Peeler
In Great Demand
Since the discovery that mercollsed
wax possesses remarkable absorbent
powers when applied to the skin, the de
mand for it as a complexion renetver has
been tremendous. Drusgists In every
section report sales as far exceeding
thuae of anything similar they have ever
had on their shelves.
Ordinary mercoliied wax, according to
Prof Hoffman, gently peels off the de
vitalized cuticle, In minute particles, so
that the user gradually loses her old
worn-out complexion, the more youthful
under-skln taking Its place. Cutaneous
eruptions, blotihes. moth patches, tan
and freckles are of course removed at
the same time. As the wax Is entirely
harmless, and easy to use, women all
over the country are purchasing It In
original packages and using It to quickly
rejuvenate their complexions. The wax
is applied to face, neck or hands the

his eyes to see that her mother has been
strict with her, and that she has been
carefully guarded. Just to know that he
has to take her 'home at a proper hour,
and that he has to conduct himself with
discretion In order to be received as a
g-uest In her home, makes even the most
callow youth treat a girl with more re
spect. For these very practical reasons every
girl should cling to her home as long as
she can. It Is a cloak of protection about
her. It Is a halo of respectability. It Is
a sheet anchor that holds her safe In
many a storm of temptation. Not with
out reason do we talk about the shelter
of home. It Is a blessing for which every
girl who has one should give thanks on
her knees, and It is a tragedy when a
foolish young creature throws away what
she should cherish most
Besides this, no matter If parents are
sometimes a Uttle overbearing and tyran
nical, they are always a girl's best
friends. They love her more than any
body else ever will; they have her In
terest more at heart, and when trouble
comes to her they are the ones who will
stick to her when all of her gay com
panions turn away and leave her.
When she gets sick It Is mother who
will nurse her. When she loses her lob,
it Is father who will feed her. It Is
brother and sister who will divide their
last dime with her. There are no ties so
close and so dear as family ties, and the
girl who wilfully breaks these loses the
best thing that life has to offer for her.
It Is well, too, for the girl who thinks
her parents tyrannical because they do
not want her to do everything she desires
to do, to reflect that In ninety-nine times
out of a hundred her father and mother
are right and she Is wrong.
Her parents may nat have had as much
schooling as she has had; they may not
know how to dance the tango, and be up
on the latest fashions,' but they have
been educated In the great school of ex
perience, and that's the edcuatlon that
counts.
They know life from having lived It
They know people from having nibbed
shoulders against them for forty or fifty
years, and so they are better fitted to
Judge of the young men who hang around
their daughters than any young girl can
possibly be.
And they have seen what comes of
folly and wrongdoing. They have seen
how easy It is for young girls to be led
Into the downward path through Just
their love of amusement and the ex
uberance of their own high spirits, and
so, when they try to save their very own
from the fate they have watched over
take many another young girl. It Is not
tyranny, but Just a frantic effort to pro
tect their Mamie or Sadie against her-
self. Wise is the girl and great her re
ward who stays at home and listens to
j the counsel of her parents.
! Aa for the perents who turn their
daughers out of their doors for some
fooilah escapade or trtvel fault, theirs Is
I the crime of crimes. They are literally
urging their girls on to ruin because
they are depriving them of the protec
tion of their homes, and throwing them
out. helpless victims to the wolves of
society, who prey on Just such defenseless
lambs.
The one temple of refuge to which
every girl should be able to flee Is her
own home, and woe to the hand that
shuts it against her. It Is the light In
the window of home that brings many an
erring child back safe, and the father
and the mother who extinguish that
beacon commit the unpardonable aln.

Variety Is a Spice,
for Love
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
"The wild hawk to the wlnd-ewept sky,
the bee to the opening clover,
And the heart of a man to the heart of a
maid ever the wide World aver;
Ever the wide world over, loss; ever the
trail holds true;
Over the world and under the world, and
back at the last to you.". Kipling.
Though love may go a-wanderlng for a
while, he comes home at last There Is
a homing Instinct In all hearts that bids
them return to true love and the place
that la home, however far they may
stray.
If only Jealous women could remember
thlsl If only the wife who eats out her
heart because her husband has Interests
and friendships In which she has no part,
could bide patiently and keep the hearth
fire lighted to give a sign of welcome at
the homecoming!
No one must be so meek and mean
spirited as to patiently endure cruel neg
lect But everyone must recognize the
fact that Nature has constituted many of
us so that variety and change are prime
necessities of life.
One of the cleverest women I know In
sists that her husband go on a camping
trip each summer with some of the men
who were his cronies In bachelor days.
She, herself, goes to her home in a dis
tant city twice a year and stays a fort
night. After each such visit, she and her
husband return to each other with new
Interests to stimulate their affection.
Ferhaps this Is not practicable In every
case perhaps not eivery married couple
can afford to take these little Jaunts. But
no one Is too poor to allow for a few In
terests outside of the home.
What applies to wives applies to sweet
hearts. Jealousy, nagging a continuous
demand on the time of a loved one, may
seem for a while a mere expression of a
devotion so great that it can not bear
separation. After a time this Is sure to
become Irksome.
However fond you are .of peaches or
of strawberries, you surely appreciate
them the more because they are in season
only part of the year. Spring Is all the
lovelier because It follows winter. A day
of golden sunshine has an added charm
because of storms that have come before
and may come after.

mony. Change is a wise Ingredient to

A piping hot dish of Kaust Macaroni,
with bread and butter, makes a big,
nutritious meal for a whole family. Ap
petising, too. Oook Faust Macaroni
with ripe tomatoes and sprinkle with
cheese (per our recipe book) and you'll
surely get a meal that will warm the
cockles of the heart.
Another advantage Faust Macaroni
Is bo easily prepared. Then think of the
great saving you can make In your cost
of living by cutting your meat bill con
siderably and substituting therefor
Faust Macaroni, which Is much more
nutritious.

MA I'LL BROS.
St, lionis MJjsauuri
bring to your story. Variety is a spice for
love.
Love may go a-wandcrlng for a time,
but he surely comes home at last. Learn
to trust thls-to believe that your beloved
may enjoy a walk with blue-eyed Mary
Smith, a dance with brown-haired Sally
Jones, and a game of kelley pool with
Tom Mason, and enjoy his four evenings
a week with you the more for the sudden
feeling that he has missed you all the
while.
If you insist on monopolizing all his
time, being with you may become a
hardship and a duty Instead of a privi
lege and a pleasure. If you are generous
enough to understand that he may enjoy
a f!W excursions Into the world, perfect
love will reward your perfect faith.
"Over the world and under the world,
and back at the last to you." For so Is
love constituted. It answers the cnll of
true lovo and It returns to the heart that
holds a welcome for It.
Kipling wrote another poem In which
he makes a sailor ssy: "For to admire
and for to see, tor to behold this world so
wide. It never done no good to inn, but
I can't 'elp It If I tried."
Thla quality of "Wanderlust" or desire
to roam and to travel Is strong In many
hearts. If you love some one who is so
constituted, mingle patience with your
love and season It all with faith that
will make you sure that love Is coming
home to you some day.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BZATXXCS TAimrAX "
Ask Him What He Mcaaa.
Hear Miss Fairfax: I am a young lady
tl years of age, and I have been going
with a fellow six years, but he has never
spoken of love to me. I em sure he cares
for me and Intends to marry me some
time. When the people of the community
ask me whether or not we are to he mar
ried, what shall I tell them? It em-
harasses me greatly. I have no one to
tell my troubles t, so please advise inn
If he is not serious soon shall I uuil and
and give the other men a chance. I could
be married at any time. BEAUTY.
No man has a right to monopolise a
girl's time unless he does Intend to marry
her. Unless you feel like asking him out
right what hla Intentions are, try accept
ing an Invitation from some other man,
or declining to go out with your present
beau. Thla may bring him to his sense.
At any rate, you have already wasted
enough time on him. If a man can't
make up hla mind In six year, he Is hopeless.
Reapeet Yoaraelf.
Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am a voting girl
li years of axe and am acquainted with
a young man five years my senior. I have
known him for six months, but have been
with him only twire. as my parents con
sider me rather young, although they
Ilka this young man 1 speak of.
1 have a neighbor, who likes me very
much, hut who Is trying to break
our friendship, I fear, by telling hlin I
like other boys far better,' etc.
He must le auoceedlng, for, instead of
talking with me, as usual, thla young)
nuui only passes with a pleasant word
and possibly a smile, and I heard he
accompanied another girl to the show the
other evening.
What should I do, as this rounsj
man, mho has no had hablta, liked me
better than anyone a short time ago, and
I tiling the world of him? Should I tell
him to chnoee between my friendship and
another's tales? Kindly give advice.
"BlILY."
My advice to you is to cultivate your
self-respect; this young man evidently
does not care very much for you, or ha
would not let a silly bit of gossip coma
between ypu. Certainly no deep or lasting
attachment could have sprung up between
you In so short a time, and the better
thing for you to do la to Just let him
alone. Be courteous and pleasant to him
when you meet and do not let him know
you care at all about his comings and
goings. If he cares for you he will seek
you out. If he doesn't, you are better off
without him.
