Almost as soon as tho rash of meaalee hu "come out" thoroughly and spread pretty well over the body, tho fever be gin! to subside, the noon and throat to become more coinfortablo and tho pa tient begin to recover rapidly. This hat given rise to a number of popular beliefs shout the great Importance of getting the rash "well broke out" In met ales and of the terrible consequences which will result If the rash having come partly out on the skin "strikes In again." But there Is really very little hasl for them, because, an a rule, the lighter the rah the milder and shorter tha disease, and the real danger of "striking In" and attacking the bronchial tube or tha kid neys come a eok or ten day later, during convslescence. Turing the fever the only treatment necessary I to keep the patient comfort ably in bed In a well-ve ntllsted room with sponging and wet parka for the fever, plenty of fruit Juice and milk, with ep propriety antiseptic treatment of the nose and throat to prevent Inflammation of the gland of the neck or of the middle r, which may also be attacked, aa In srsrlrt fever, although not so frequently or no severely.

The danger! of tonvalescene flan be avoided by con finement either In bed or upon a lounge for at least ten day following tha break of the fever and then keeping th pa tient, If a child, off the street or out of school for ten days longer. In this way nlne-lenth of the risk of bronchitis can be avoided, as this I usually duo either to overexertion or exposure to chill or, lai-t but by no means least, a "common cold," which, may prove a kill ing frost after measles. Both ends of the disease are mora Im portant than the middle; Indeed, one of our greatest troubles with measles, nest to this genoral tolerant contempt, for them, ;s the extraordinary "premature" way In which they begin, , Up to a few years sgo wa rested In the comforting belief that It was the eruption and the germ and scales thrown off from the skin which wera tha principal sources of Infection. Or, at least, that children coming down with the measles were hot very dangerously In fective to others until about tha time the rash appeared. Jlenca It waa not auch a very difficult task to catch and Iso late tha lllile "suspects" befora they spread tha disease very far. Tint In spit of everything we could do In enforcing' the most vigilant quarantine the disease appeared to flourish almost as freely as ever and enreful observation of a large number of case revealed the discouraging fact thst most esses of measles were spread to otheis, not only before the rish appeared, hut even, ap parently, In some instances, before the tittle patients showed any clear signs of fever or discomfort In eyes or throat, In other words.

'I really feel that life Isn't worth liv ing when I have been talking to Mrs. B for half an hour!" exclaimed a friend of mine to me the other afternoon, when the door was closed on a depart ing visitor, and we were alone. "Why?" I asked, though I .Imagined that I could guess what the answer to my query would be, "VVhyT Oh, you must see for yourself, I know you only had five minutes of her, but surely that waa enough. She Is one long Jeremiad, from beginning to end, and try as I will I cannot get her to brighten up. Yet, I really do not think that she Is as miserable as she pretends to be. At ell events It suits her, for she looks the picture of health." "Perhaps she works all her misery off verbally on other people, I suggested, "That kind of a person poisons the at. mosphere for the rest, of the world, and In doing so rids his or her system of the virus." "That must he It," answered my friend. I si ways feel 'done up' when she ha been here to see me. A hard day's work does not have nearly such a nerve-de stroylng effect on me a an hour or so In that lady's society. And I have heard others say the same thing, too, I tried to atone for the sins of the pes. slinlatlc visitor by being rldlculeusly gay and light-hearted, but after I left my friend's house I had lelauro to think over what she had, ssld, and to consider the psychological effect of such people on the community. What good did lltVy do and what harm? The pessimist Is, Ilk the poor, ever with us. lie may be In tha minor ity, but that matters little, since his power Is what It, Is. A little pessimism goes a long way and makes Itself felt more surely than any other lilnd of poi son. We have all met the inlierabl person, at one time or another, We may number such as on among our acquaint ances. We could, most of us, sdmlt of a sneaking desire to avoid the Individu al's company. We turn down a side street If he or she sppears on tho horizon; we sre "not at home" when the door bell rings; we seek refuge In numbers when thrown Into the company of the pessl mist. "Oh, I shall take Mrs. with me, fth will help to make things more lively," Hut, try as we may, all our efforts do not save ns from the depressing effect of the pessimist's attitude of mind. It I Impossible to escape tha feeling of wea- ryness and hopelessness caused by look ing on the dark aids of everything. When boldly confronted, the pessimist has al ways his apologia ready. "It Is much better to be prepared for the worst," he soys, and smiles In a self. satisfied way, thinning that he has cor nered you. Out, ono may aek, why should you he prepared for the worst? (Supposing that things are bad, will this make them any better?

AndI'm very ashamed but do you mind there will be to start with but one chair do you mind very much, golden bird of mv soul?' NELL BRINKLEY. "I have read several of your articles In which I find that in every instance where a girl accept the attention of a married man you blame her. Why Isn t the man equally to blame for encourag ing the girl? He knows wrong from right aa well a she, to ssy the least. A man who would act so Is to my mind nothing more than a cur and ft love thief combined," rites "An Interested Reader." I do not blame the woman more than the man In a guilty love affair but society does. It Is tho woman who pay the great penalty of suffering and social ostracism In a love affnlr In which the party of tho second part is married and so it Is the woman who must be more strenu ously blamed-by anyone who hss a sym pathetic attitude for esses of this ort. Women suffer tortures of self reproach because of their own moral lapses. Women have to be warned In no uncer tain term against the weakness In their own nature which betray them to the man who would tempt them. No man ever quite "stole" a girl' heart. H may have attracted It dishonorably, tie msy have cheated In the whole game of love but he never fully won unless hi "victim' gave him the victory. There aro two perfectly practical rea sonsapart from all sentlmcntallly-why women should riot Indulge In love affairs with married men. First from the point of view of their own selves; there is nothing In a love ffalr with a married man that in, noth ing adv'Hiitg"ous or desirable. Its net result are generally a broken heart and a ruined reputation even If It stop short of actual disgrare and shame. With nothing to gain and everything to lose, of course, I plesd with and threaten and scold any girl who Is contemplating a lialenn wlt.li a married man. In tho second place, the woman who steals another woman' husband la, with out benefiting herself, Impoverishing. some oyo else. Eviii if she does not break up a home and render Hide chil dren fatherless, alio Is destroying an other woman's peace of mind und happi ness. ficx loyalty is badly needed for women, Women ought to learn to utand tog ( her. Any girl who can ho loused to a sense of (alrnrai and to a feeling it lojalty to tho wlfo of tho man for whom she rare would scornfully refuse to become a love thief. Tho eclflf.li brute of a man against whom my "!nlcretcd Header" so bitterly Inveighs cannot work his will against unhappy and fool'ahly trusting girl.? li" they refuse to lot him do so. There aro very few cases where girls oro abducted In hlKh powered automobile or given drugged wlrel There are very few cases where inno cent and trusting lllllo creatures enter Into love affairs to find only too late that the man to whom a young heart Is given hss alrendyTl heart In Ilia keep- ingi Ana o i blame women very strongly for making each other trage dies possible. If cn are brutes why yield to tnem If they are weak, why mike then weaker? It they have no great aaith fa womanhood, why Justify them ka the? cynicism? Whatever the fault of a double stand ard of morels, 'certainly fowiinf the (deal of womanhood Isn't golria; to belter mat ters. The only way girl can make the world better is by being themselves so good that the men who come In contact with them will not think ever more and more lightly of women and love. The moral of tho race eem to be a sacred trust in the hands of the women of the race. And when they shirk their respoelblllty they become "slackers" of the most contemptible sort, and brlns down on Jhclr heads a storm of reproach. Not that I think men better-but that I hate to see women worse Is the reason for my attack on tho girls who steal love from another woman. It doesn't matter who Is to blame the point is to get at the most likely person to effect a cure and that is woman! Why I Never Married mt trr 1TT1 - i mm ine woman w no vemanaea 100 Much in a Husband Why do so many women who are at tractive, intelligent, full of human affec tion and tenderness tho sort of womsn who were designed by nature to make Ideal wives and mothers never marry? Is ft because they were' bent on celi bacy? Or Is It because men were too stupid to know a good thing when they saw it. and so paesed them over? Or is It, the fault of social conditions that never gave them thulr matrimonial chance? It is one of life's great puzzles, and In an attempt to solve it Dorothy Il has asked a number of charming old maids why they never married. By DOROTHY VIX.

"I wa looking for a paragon, and a the countryman said when ho saw a hip popotamus for the first time, 'there ain't no sich animal.' "As I loolt back now on my artless glrllnh ideal, will) the, light of many years' experience of human natur and much knowledge of the world to Illumi nate my vision, I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, for my purpose was so high and my practice so foolish, and in reaching out after an Impossible Idol. I missed all of the nice consolation prUes that I might have had. "I had many chances to marry good chances, too, and to marry men to whom for one reason or another I was greatly attracted, and with whom I could have fallen in love If I had permitted myself. Rut no. In my youthful egotism J bad decided that I would marry no man wh'i did not measure up to the standard of perfection that I had erected, and, of course, no mere mortal man did. "Ho couldn't, for my specifications ot tho kind of a hufthund that I thought good cnoui.h for me require a composite of. the salient characteristics of Pul twan, Sir ftallahad, Mr. Rockefeller, KeaU and John Drew, "The man that I married mugt ra haad somc, full, with piercing- eye and a dark mustache. He must have unblemlith! morals, and yet be a man of the world who knew his way about. "Ho must-be able to make money, snd plenty of It, because I hankered after thn fle.ihpots, but he must also be of a soul fill imturri and able to quote poetry ef fectively, and to understand my aoul n plrallons, and he must have all of the soi'lal graces, Hnd wear hi clothes llko the godlike youn creature In the tall or" advertisements. "That wa-t (he kind of a husband that I was looking for, and poor little goosi that I wns, I didn't know that the fca. of life is served a la carte, and that we don't get all of the goodie. We havj to make our choice from the menu that fnto serves us, and the best wo can do ts pick out tho one thing that we relish most. "Later on, I discovered that masculine pulchritude pnd brains seldom go to gether; that a giant may have the soul of a pigmy, and the heart and mind of ,1 five-foot-four man may be so big they crowd his small body; that a man wh occasionally zigzags off of the straight and narrow path often make the ten deretit and most adorable of husbands, while a model of all the virtue generally is a grinding tyrant at home; that money making and yearning after the whatnesn of the what are as Incompatible a oil and water. "That a husband who ts a Beau Brum nml in bla dres spends the clothe a' lowanoe of the family on hlmelf lntaj of bis wife, and finally, and above all, that romantic love la as cvanencent a the dew on the row, and that any kin l of plain old prosaic love Is better than no love at all. "But like most discoveries that we make for ourselves, my discovery came too lata to do mo any good. I hid let my youth and my opportunities to marry all pass by me while I wa ceklng for the im possible he. "There wa a Jack, who wa aa hajid some as a young Apollo, but I wouldn't marry blm because he waa as vain aa a peacock, and had nothing but his gool . looks to recommend him. There waa a clorgyman who proposed to me, an ascetic, saint like youna fellow, irlvinu- himself in a par-sion of devotion to worn in the slums, but I couldn't aee myelf a preacher' wife, llvlrisr In smellv nenta, and doing mission work lnttead of going to teas and ball.
