Hy ADA PATTERSON.
Thta morning I saw a gallant soldier.
In uniform, and In lino of battle? Yes.
She wu Bitting on the broad plana of
her comfortable home, her fine sweet
face framed In
autumn tinted Ivy
1 e a f a that veiled
her retreat, her
thick curling hair,
white aa the snow
of Christmas, her
sturdy figure wrap
ped 'round with a
rurple frock and a
shawl of soft white
wool. She looked
comfort able and
prosperous and at
peace, but there was
that in her blue eyes
turned frankly upon
me that ' reminded
me of a war dis
patch I and all the rest of the world had
read that day.
"There Is no doubt in the minds of the
ministry of our financial success. Every
engagement In which the enemy suffers
losses only weakens him the more. The
enemy are far from thrtr main base. We
have been brought closer to ours by fall
ing back on our own eoll. We are con
tent We remain on the defensive for
the present, but our time Is coming." e
What had the little woman with the
enow-colored hair to do with this war
dlspatchT Everything. Tou see I know
her life.
"Like the minister of war wh.i Issued
I 1 the bulletin to his nation, the keynote
,) of her character has always been hdpe.
There Is no doubt In our minas or imw
success" said the war minister. "I ejn
perfectly sure that everything will come
out right In the end." the little woman
had been saying every day of her talking
life. So she went splendidly on, her un
daunted spirit shining In her eyes, while
rhe and hen husband fought poverty:
iwiille they wrestled with the forces that
were seeking to destroy the young man
who was their son; wmie ineir muboki
manifested the eamq wlldness that was
r,..- tn niacin the son in the taming
Institution, a penitentiary. There were
years of war with allied enemies of
poverty and d 1b grace. The engagements
f, were often losing ones for them, but they
kept on fighting.
1 Uke the minister of war who has been
quoted, she was a philosopher. She found
refuge from heart break In reasoning.
Booner or later my husband's business
talents and his hard work will win. she
reasoned. No one ever starved who kept
4 on working and no one finally failed who
persevered. And of the children she
would say: They have fine minds. Their
minds will tell them of the folly of the
frivoloua life. They will Bee that they
ure wrong. Their father's words and
mine will echo in their minds. Any day
they may realize their truth. "The email
female soldier's view of her own cam
paign was like that of the minister of
war, but crouched In her own terms.
"Every engagement In which the enemy
( suffers losses only weakens him tne
' more. The enemy are far from their
main base of supplies and ammunition.
' We are brought closer to ours by falling
back on our own aoll."
So the war minister and thus the little
woman warrior. "Jack will find that his
wild friends will desert him when he Is
i In trouble. Marie will see how heartless
V , her frivolous friends are. Their home Is
i , m , v, , Thfttf will ("nmd

DILK ID IU juv.i . . -
' U,nri thu warrior woman displayed their
4practlcal habit of vision Instead of hys
gf terical view of their problems. "We are
I J content to remain on me oeiensivo ior
the present." was the message of the
f V minister. "I will not weary the children
I wlth my tears ana prayers,- sa-a me
little mother. "I will wait and play In
silence."
"Our time Is coming," Bald the minister.
"Are you not anxious about Jack being
In the city alone ao young? There are so
many temptations for a young inan In the
city," I heard a .blunt-tongued friend
ask her. The little woman looked at the
son who was home on a vacation and
answered: "I am sure my son will be a
credit to himself and us."
His sullen face brightened a her
words. At all events mother belieyed In
him. That was something. On the firing
I line when he went back to the city he re
membered. The memory helped him In the
L fight.
J. The woman's husband struggled Into
n romDetencA and security. The minds of
0 her children triumphed over the material
lures of the city. Her daughter came
home and married the mayor. The son
became the leading banker.
Just now her family Is anxious about
her health., They fear that her other
battles won, she may slip away from
them soon to that state where there Is
no warfare and where peace forever
reigns. Put despite what the family
thinks and what a peaalmlstlo family
physician says, I believe she will remain
long on life's battle line. For the martial
spirit is undimmed In her eyes.

Tears. Their Use.
and Abuses
By DOROTHY D1X,
Tears le what you do to folks when
you ain't big and strong enough to fight
'em.
Also tears Is what you do when you are
terrible angry and
dasen t say the
things you are
thinking because
you're a perfect
lady.
When ladles weep
they make a noise
tfiat sounds like
DAMN, Damn, damn,
d-a-m-n.
When a man gets
angry he can cuss
and throw things
around, but all. that
a lady can do ta to
burst into tears and
slam the door be
hind her. It means
the same thing, only
when a man cusses
he has to apologise
and say he was sorry he lost his temper,
but If a woman will Just keep on crying
the man will call her pet names and say
he was a brute.
I know, because that Is the way that
my papa and, my mama do. When I
grow up and get married I am going to
be the champion long-distance weeper.
My teacher says that there Is no power
stronger than hydraulic pressure. I guess
that Is why so many husbands look as It
they had been flattened out.
Tears are most profitable to a woman.
It Is the easiest way for her to get what
she wants, because If you will just sit
down and howl for a thing somebody will
give It to you to make you shut up. . I
know, because I have tried It.
And, When you are arguing a thing and
get In a hole where you cannot think of
anything more to say. you can win out
by beginning to sniffle into your pocket
handkerchief.
My papa says that women always take
the water route out of trouble.
When I was a little thing I used to
squawl a lot, and my papa said, "I am
going to break this child of crying." But
my mama said, "Oh, no. To be a good,
free, natural weeper Is the most valuable
talent that a woman can have, and one
that will" take her farthest: so do not
blight your daughter's prospects In life.'
Once I heard a lady say to my mama
"Tears are a woman's best weapon."
"That Is true," said my mama; "but
they are bnly dangerous when you are
young. No woman should weep after bhe
Is 40 years old. When you are young and
Bllm. when yon weep a man Invltea you
to dry your eyea on the second button of
his vest, and he pats you on the back and
says: 'There, there, poor dear, don't cry.'
When you are old and fat and begin to
weep, a man picks up his hat and starts
for the door and tells you not to make a
fool of yourself."
There Is not aa much water in a tear as
there is In the ocean, but my Yl' Bays
that it has floated more things, and more
men have been drowned In it.
Women are weak and helpless, but they
are strong on weeping. Oh, how wonder
ful are the ways of Providence..

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX i
Gratitude is one of tbe strangest qual
ities in all the world. Men are seldom
grateful enough to women and women are
far too grateful to men.
Now, a little gratitude is a charming
thing. It means a proper appreciation of
benefits received. But gratitude carried
too far means fulsome flattery, weak
kneed worship of some one who once was
kind and servile putting up with any sort
of present attitude because of past favors.
There are girls who, If a man aska them
for a dance, have the air of being as
grateful as if he had given them his last
crust to save them from starvation.
There are girls who have no idea In
their heads ' except to follow the 'other
girls and help pamper the conceited "lady
killer" . men who think they are ao lr
resistible that, of course, every girl Is
after them.' They put up with men who
have a lordly air of conferring a favor
by noticing them.
The stupidity of this Is far beyond
words.
The girl who desires popularity must
take the little lever of gratitude and re
verse Its action. Here is a rule for you,
Mies would-bo Popular: Make your
favors tell by giving them to the really
capital fellows who are not surfeited with
feminine worship.
Make your Impression on the masculine
heart that Isn't all dented from the vari
ous feminine darts that have been thrown
at it. Snub the vanity and take down a
peg or two the conceit of the man who is
run after by all the girls you know. Don't
play "follow the leader" and shower your
poor little smiles and wiles and prettiest
tricks of voice and manner on the cork
of the walk who Is so accustomed to fem
inine worship that he never dreams of
being grateful when a sweet girl la
frfenrfly and gracious to him.
Don't almost perish of gratitude when
this hero of girlish dreams notices you.
Yovi will only make his appreciation of
hlusself go up and his depreciation of you
go down la the scale. Tou will simply
tuaate your sweetness where It Is going
tr meet neither with gratitude nor return
kindness. And as fur popularity your
owa will bs In no wise Increased if you
are simply permitted to be one of an
admiring throng who atend on a popular
man.
But suppose you turn your attention
and your smiles upon some shy, awk
ward youth, who is liked by the other
boys but is too simple and unassuming
and modest to dare lift his eyes to a won
derful girl creature. I'erhsps at first ha
won't know about the little tricks and
manners girls like but you can teach
him train him up to suit yourself. He
will be grateful to you for bringing your
sunshiny presence into his Eyeless Eden.
His gratitude will offer you loyal friend
ship and thoughtful attentions and the
other worth-while men of his own calibre
will begin to admire "that sensible little
girl Jim likes." Tou will find yourself
with a train of admirers where by being ,
a slave to gratitude Instead of making
It serve you you were only an unnoticed
one in a train.
Don't be detestably grateful for the
smallest attention. The men hate It and
despise you for It, or else they dismiss
your attitude as part of the tiresome
flattery they get all the time.
Just cultivate a simple, aweet but abso
lutely unfailing recognition of the super
iority of your sex. Make an atmosphere
around you not of self appreciation, but
of the glory and charm of womanhood.
And then graciously bestow your favors
where they will be appreciated.
Don't be one of a flock adding grati
tude to a miser's hoard.
Be a sweet, charming girl, who Is able
to single out worth and appreciate it, and
who for her sensible valuation of real
manhood gets a fitting return of grati
tude and popularity.
Is one thing which stands In the way of
my happiness. This girl Is very extrava-
fant, and always are-sea up-io-nate, ana
know she could not he satisfied with
mueh lees. And as I am enrnlng a very
small salary I am sure I could never give
her all she has at present. Do you think
aim wnnM be mv Droiicr mat In life, or
would vou advise me to give D her
friendship entirely. El N
Many an extravagant and luxurious
alrl gladly resigns her fineries for the
sake of a man she truly Joves. And what
Is more, such a girt is so oftsa better
able to "do without" than a girl who
never has had any of the pretties you
think 'mean so much to the girl you love.
Tell her frankly what your Income la,
and ask her If she feels that she would
be happy working up In the world with
you Instead of starting at the top with
some other chap.
iMystery of Diamonds
Rjr CARRKTT I BKRV-SS.
"What are diamonds made fromt How
are they mndeT Is It possible to make
them artificially, and If not, whyT G.
M. n.
Diamonds are made of pure carbon
hut so are charcoal
and plumbago. These
three substances are
three brothers, all
of absolutely t h e
snme blvod, but so
unlike one. another
in physical appear
ance and condition
that only a chemical
analysis is able to
establish their rela
tlonsliip or Identity.
D is m o n d s are
formed by ths crys
tallisation of carbon
In what mineralo
gists call the "mnnoollnlc." or cublo sys
tem. This Is a mere descriptive term, and
does not In-ply any knowledge on our
part of the reason whv nature eauses
different kinds of substsnces to crystallise
In different forms, nor. Indeed, why she
makes crystals at all.
A crystal Is a definite geometria form .
(such as a cube, a hexagon or a rhomb),
which mny kinds of pure matter assume;
hen left to solidify out of solution.
There Is some force affecting the mole
cules of those substances which causes
them, when they are free, to yield to It,
to arrange themselves In accordance
with a fixed scheme, the geometric plan
differing with different substances.
We can see the formation of crystals
when we allow a solution of salt or of
sugar or of alum to evaporate. But we
de not know how nature proceeds in mak
ing all of her crystals and. particularly,
we do not know for certain (though some
shrewd guesses have been made) how
she crystallises her diamonds.
It is possible to make diamonds arti
ficially, and the thing has bean done.
But we nre not perfectly Sure that our
ay of making diamonds la the same aa
nature's way, and. In any event, our
diamonds, made artlflcally. can In no
way compete with hers. They are mere
pin-points In site, and they lack tho
brilliance of native diamonds. Btlll, they
are. In essence,' real diamonds and not
Imitations. Whether we shall aver be .
able to make them as large and aa .
splendid aa nature doea s a question that
remains to be answered by chemists.
The fundamental form of a native dia
mond crystal is that of an octahedron
(eight-sided solid), or some modification
of the octahedral form. It Is transparent
when the outside crust has been removed,
and Is the hardest substance known. It
also possess a most extraordinary power
of refracting or bending the light rays
that enter it. This is the cause of the
extreme brilliance of the diamond, and
of its marvellous display of flashing
prismatic, colors.
The minute artificial diamonds that
have been made are produced by dissolv
ing ordinary carbon, such aa. charcoal. In
melted Iron and then pouring the mix
ture Into a mold and chilling It rapidly
by Immersion In cold water. The swift
contraction of the chilled surface of the
Iran causes an Intense pressure upoa the
still liquid Interior, and as the core grad
ually solidifies, under ths compression.
the carbon Is deposited, mostly aa In the
form of graphite, or plumbago, but a
small quantity assumes the form of tiny
crystals of diamond.
Inasmuch as the diamonds of South
Africa are found In what are believed to
be the choked-up throats of ancient vol-,
canoes, It has been assumed that nature
formed thorn there somewhat in the
snme way In which artificial diamonds
are made, vis.: by the rrystalllsalon of
carbon dissolved In volranlo lava, and
eooled under great pressure.
, But, If this be true, a volcano Is a lab
oratory so vastly exceeding the greatest
that we possess, in resources and control
ef forces, that chemists have not mueh
hope, at present, of being able to break
nature's monopoly of diamond casting.
Advice to Lovelorn
By BBATSICS TAX-LI AX I
A Foolish Iufataatlon.
Dear Miss Fairfax: What do you think
of a young man of 19, who, after meeting
a girl of ltH twice and being presumably
Impressed with her charms and loveliness,
asks her to marry him In a different city
and keep the marriage a secret? Is this
true love? If not, what Is It, and how
would you advise the girl to treat him?
The girl hi a friend to this boy's sister
and takes no great interest In him.
A FKiUKD.
This boy of 19 Is foolishly and danger
ously Infatuated with a mere child. I am
glad she Is not silly enough to be lured
Into taking a step that would probably
ruin her life. A man who asked a girl
to do such a thing would be a csd and
perhaps a vjllsln boy who suggests it
ta only a dangerously foolish child. I
strongly advise the girl to have nothing to
do with him.
