Th acting chairman of humane educa

' "Fifteen years ago the Rocheater Hu

gan tha work of educating the schonl
children of the city In humane Ideals.
Today we find humane aocletlea all over
tha country following thla kind of work
and looking to our society for guidance.
At tha convention of the American Hu

"Here Is a touching and true story
of bow a cat awoke the humane spirit
in the hearts of rude men: A stray cat
crept Into an empty freight car. There
khe gave birth to a family of kittens.
When they were a few weeka old the car
was attached to an outgoing train.
"For three days the frightened mother
and starving kittens rode In that car
.without food or water. Then the wall
of tha mother cat was heard by one -of
the brakemen. The car was opened n1
the almost dying animals discovered. Two
kittens were dead; two nearly ao. The
brake man brought milk and the raven
' ous and gaunt mother refused to touch
it until she carried her two living kittens,
to tha saucer first and had watched them
drink. Then she satisfied her own thirst.
"The brakemen, who until that time
had regarded cats with no more consid
eration than they gave to rats or mice,
were not ashamed to shed tears over this
poor .tramp feline.
"Here Is the true and touching end of
the story: .
. "They shook hands around the little
. group and vowed that they would never

was ao end to the kindness which those
few tears had washed away; the unselfish
deed of a poor animal had melted the Ice,
and tha stony hearts had become hearts
of flash.
"When the train reached the nearest
station tha men handed over the purring
mother and her still living kittens to the
station master, and they made up a lit li

"Before starting off again they made

Kindness that
is Cruelty .
By BF.ATR1CE FAIRFAX.
There Is nothing more acceptable or
welcome than Judiciously applied sym
pathy; but th mother who lavishes con
tinued snd extravagant pity upon her
children Is really doing them an Irrepara
ble wrong.
If we use the "musclee of our souls"
we grow morally stronger. Just as the
cxcrc'ao ot our bodies strengthens ,u
physically. .- Lads who from childhood
have been saddled with a proportional
part of the fanjlly burden put upon their
shoulders make better men and f nd the
hardships of after-life more easily ti
bear, while tlioee who have had nil
troubles lifted from their shoulder by
ovrr-lndulgent sient find every m le
lilll a mountain and the softest win J a
hurricane.
Thete, there, dar ing! Let mother kis
it tetter, poor little chap!" says the foil-
lsh mother to her tiny boy shou d he ln
Jure himself the tiniest bit. As I e grows
older her heart aches because he has to
face school In the cold mornings, and
she expresses grief at ths terrible hsrd
ship, and possibly she walla on the door
step for his return to help him otf with
his things and aet him by a warm fire.
Then, when he Is ready for an office
stool, he comes to her with every little
grievance about his ' boss" and fe'l.iw-
workere, because se will listen and com
miserate with him. Kven shuu'rt he him
self become a manager or proprietor.
pities' him because his bus neaa will not
allow him to hav a motor car or om
other extra vasra nee. So, Instead of be
coming a useful snd Interesting member
of th community, he Is obaea.-od with
the terrible snd Incurable disease, "self
pity!" I know not one. but st leaat a dosen
young men who are born of humble par
ents, and have been given good educa
tions and placed In a higher sphere of
work. They all permit their aged moth
ers to wait on them, and some of them
actually boast that they have cofe
brought to them in the early mornlnga
when they are awakened.
How sorry such men will be for them
selves when they, fsce the hardships of
training, and how much worse it will
seem than It would, had they been made
to rough It a bit more. It Is Just as
necessary for children to be trained to
meet the blows of after-life as It Is for
them to have proper food and clothing.
There is an old lady today who haa
passed through a life of most abject
poverty. Not because she has been over
burdened with troubles, but because from
childhood onward those with whom she
has come tn contact hare lavished un
bounded sympathy upon her. Her huS'
band was the last to pity her If she had
to do th ordinary duties of a normally
healthy woman. Ten yeara ago he died.
and for all that long time ahe has been
left with only herself to be sorry for
herself, and so her face Is lined and
marked with discontent, and she looks
older than her years.
" It Is the mother who demands the moat
of her children who gets th most from
them, and such children certainly grow
up healthier and happier than those who
have been taught by precept that they
are to have th beat of everything and
endless pity when the least trouble comes
their way.
Advice to Lovelorn
By Beatrice Fairfax
Take Firm Stand.
Pear Miss Fairfax: I have been mar
ried a Utile over a year and go to busi
ness every day as a stenographer, at
the same time taking care of my home
in the evenings and Saturday afternoons.
My husband havlg a poettlon where he
worke night time, 1 am obliged to stay
alone while he haa hta time to himself
while I am working. As his salary Is
but US a week, I feel that I am compelled
to help him for another year or two,
until, I am positive, his salary will b
higher. I hav hear from different peo
ple that he is constantly seen with ascer
tain lady In the afternoons, whll I .am
working, taking her to matinees, after
noon dances, etc. Upon questioning btm,
he edmltted that he did. I am heart
broke. What would you advise me to
do? This young lady has parents. Should
I inform them? I hsve repeatedly
pleaded with her to give him up.

On could not do better than use such a

Dear Mtsa Fairfax: I am 1. ears of

h l-.t fiftaen months at a salary of
in n nri deeolv in love with
bachelor of 17, who la a teacher earning

but I thlnlr. alnc we love eai h other, our

capable of providing a nice home for me,
and aeparatlon would mean u heartbreak
for each, I do not see much reason for
taking my friend's advice. ANXIOUS.
Tou seem more impressed by your
fiance's earning capacity and the com

spond. Sport suit models designed for
this materials are often developed equally
well In khaki kool, a heavy washabla
crepe. This crape Is not only used for all
sports garment but la very deslrabl for
ifternoon frocks.
A striking dress can be mad up of
whit and gold striped khaki kool. A
guimpe of yellow organdie and a close-
fitting collar of whit patent leather
fastened with brass buckles will give a
touch of novelty.
Satin Riviera I used for a black and
white evening dras. Th black satin Is
faced with whit and th two color ar
joined with plcot stitching which give
th effect of a double-faced material. It
Is really the lining of th skirt turned
over which forms th tunlo and runs
through the belt to make a part of th
bodice.
The Easter Illy Is a new touch and one
of ths smartest flowers for eoraag wear.
Another charming evening dress can be
developed in orchid soiree. This fabric
is most desirable, as It launders perfect
ly If washed with a good whit soap and
tepid water. When the edges of a soiree
gown become soiled, they can b cleaned
without injuring th rest of th garment
It Is quit Ilk th old times to think
of stiffening for skirts, but, with the re

self and other peopl la th girl who get
Inveigled Into a love affair with a mar

She is foolish because sh Is Invariably
tho victim; because sh is th on who
hss to pay th full price of th tarn'shed
romance; because sh wastes her youth
and the freshness of her affection on a
man who cannot marry her if he would.
Sh does wrong to herself because she
is blighting her life In the beg nntng by
making a falsa start, and shs does wrong
to other peopl because she Is breaking
up a home, and no woman has ever yet
built her house of happiness on the wreck
of another woman's happiners and found
any peace and Joy In It.
A girl's worst enemy could flnl n
better way to destroy her than to Induce
her to fall In love with a married man,
yet I know many girls who boast that
they have an especial fascination for
married men, and who aeem to find a

These girls think it great fun to carry
on their flirtations with married men
right under their wives noses, and shriek
with laughter as they tell how some fat,

Before you engage in a flirtation with
a married man. girls just put yourself In
th wife's place. Some dsy you will be

you aaw aome younger and prettier

But you don't even have to be al
