The Small-Town

"I was afraid you were disappointed
in me, 'she said. "Because I didn t
come from i larger place." 1
By this wistful little speech the
woman who uttered it betrayed the
small town sensitiveness. The dwell
er in a small town inclines to apolo
gize to the citizen of a large one. A
man from Detroit told me that he al
ways dreaded trying to break into a
New York office. He said the office
boys had auch a superior air that he
was sure the lord of the office was a
mighty 'individual indeed. The man
waa one of parts in his own commu
nity. He was a figure of influence in
that well-ordered city on the lake. I
rallied him about his identity. But he
could not be infused with courage.
Small town timidity held him in its
grasp.

Fair With Girls
m
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Men pride themselves on being
"good sports." But I think that in
their dealings with women they for
get what being a "good sport" really
means I
Nothing is "sporting" in the best
sense unless it is based on principles
of honesty and fair play. A man who
lays any claim to being a gentleman
brings the spirit of fair play as a mat
ter of course into his clubs, his ath
letics, his business life and his amuse
ments ot every sort, except mose in
which women are concerned.
The average man in his relation
ships with women wants amusement
and entertainment If he can get it
for the askins he takes it. But he
values what he gets for nothing at niL
Mv irirli write me that the men
they know lose interest in them when
denied kisses and caresses. All around
me in social life I see the same thing
men demanding the privilege of
"making love" to women whom they
do not even pretend to love in any
fine sense.
And ever since the days of the old
song. "He loved and rode away," that
is just what the men have been doing.
They make love lightly when permit
ted, and tire easily. Worse still, they
"kiss and tell."
And this is reprehensible enough,
unkind and even dishonorable. But
what makes it even less "sporting"
is the fact that whenever men are
expressing their honest opinion to
each other or to an older woman for
whose favors they are not striving,
they acknowledge that they are look
ing for an ideal girl who won't per
mit herself to 'be kissed and caressed
by all and sundry.
Oh, yes, men confess it Their
"dream girl" the girl they mean to
love and marry is a girl who holds
herself too high to permit any light
and facile lovemaking. As for the
rest they say, "Oh, I'm just amusing
myself. She ought to know that"
She ought to but she doesn'tl Too
many girls fancy that the way to hold
a man is by letting htm have what
he wants. Girl after girl has confessed
to me sadly when it was too late:
"Oh, I was afraid to say no. There
was Molly Green waiting. And if I
didn't give in to him, I was afraid
he'd go after her."
Too late the girl learned that after
she had given in to him, the man geta
tired of what was his for the asking
and goes off for new worlds to con
quer. The spirit of the chase makes men
like hunting, but is it "goo,d hunting"
to blind the quarry first and then to
hunt it down?
Where is the masculine instinct of
fair play? How can any self-respecting
man reconcile the atatements he
makes to the girl he wants to win,
without the responsibility of marry
ing and supporting her, with the
statement he makes to outsiders for
whom he has enough respect to cause
him to tell them the truth?
To Susie, John says, "Oh, I've got
to kiss you. You know I'm fond of
you. Don't torture me by refusing.
Vou couldn't be so selfish and un
kind." And Susie, either because she
is a loving, self-sacrificing little thing,
or because she is emotional and easily
moved, lets John kiss her.
Then John tells his men friends or
some older woman for whose men
tality he has plenty of respect that
he's going to marry a girl who is
dignified and who holds herself above
idle lovemaking the sort of girl, in
fact, who is fit to be a good man's
wife. And he feels very noble and
righteous as he' says it.
Is that honorable sport? Is' that
"fair play?" I leave it to you, boys
to you and your own consciences.

"A great number of people must
be thorough or nothing," said Moody.
The words sound quite nice, don't
they, as if a big compliment were
coming? But he went on. And most
of these people are nothing.
There is nothing that sounds bet
ter than the person who declares
he must do a thing thoroughly or
leave it alone. We feel that we
ought to know where we are with
him. The worst of it is, however,
that he so often prefers to leave the
job alone. He might have done
something something small, perhaps,
but still something. But no! If he
cannot do the thing thoroughly he's
not going to put a finger to it The
nnger sticks.
Some time since I lived in a road
where the house had a little bit of a
garden in front of them. ' It was quite
a prim little road. We were not
millionaires, equal to calling in the
best horticultural skill or buying the
most extensive displays in floriculture.
Still we kept up to a certain respect
able level. There was one house,
however, that was scandalous. It
was the fly in the pot of ointment.
The bit of front garden was simply
a disgrace to the whole of us more
than that, it was a regular hotbed of
weed viciousness.
The weeds in that garden infected
all around, and people in the oad
studied the direction of the wind
anxiously. If it was in the east, it
blew dandelion and (thistle seed to
the people up the road; if it was
in the west the "down" people got
them. We used to expostulate with
the owner of the crop. He was a
most fervent admirer of gardens,
he assured us. He loved them.
Providence, he pointed out, placed
Adam in the garden. Nothing would
please him more than to "go in"
for gardening, he declared, but he
hadn't time and being a thorough
person, if he could not do gardening
as it ought to be done, he wasn't
going to touch it -
You meet these thorough people
very often. Terry, the actor, knew
of them a lady who was "thorugh"
on the subject of dress. Her hus
band's fortune or want fortune,
rather forbade her dressing in the
stvle in which she would have re'
veiled. But there was no one like
.her for knowing how a person ought
to dress, and she could tell you ex
actly how all the other women for
a . mile around showed their utter
ignorance of it. Their taste was
schocking. She would not wear
dress to look anything like any one
of them for the world. Not - being
able to study appearance, however,
owing to her husband's restricted
; means, she resolved to dismiss the
subject entirely from her mind, bhe
did.
"I believe in studying appearances
Mr. Terry," she explained to him, "if
you only nave the time and money
to do it. But if you haven't what's
the good? I say leave them alone.
iheres Mrs. Jones up the road.
She gets' a new hat poor thing!
and she's delighted. But a new hat
or a new pair of boots only shows
up what isn t new upon you. And
what's the good of a thing if it isn't
the best? If I can't get the best, I
say, have none at all. What did
you say? You think I've dropped a
sixpence? Ohl It is only a button,
isn't it ? Thank you so much. - Would
you mind putting it into the orna
ment on the mantelpiece? I've got
all the others there. When I have
a day to spare I mean to sew them
all on together. Would you believe
it? There were sixteeen of those
mother-of-pearl buttons on this dress

We may yearn as much as we like
for thoroughness which means per
fection but if we are to be happy
and get along satisfactorily, we must
take on our hat to much that talis
short of it. One wishes, perhaps, to
do something thoroughly and then,
trvin ones hand at it. Well, its
disheartening, isn't it? The very ear
nestness of our desire to do a thing
perfectly makes a little failure all
the more disconcerting.

How to Treat
Varicose Veins
By ROBERT WATSON.
"Life," said Emerson in an essay,
"is a series of surprises. The simplest
words we do not know what they
mean, except when we love and
aspire.
And what he said of life might be
applied to our weekly batch of let
ters. It is a series of surprises. My
measure of ( love and aspiration, also
must be inadequate, or the simplest
words in some of these epistles-I
do not know what they mean.
Here, for instance, is a letter. Ap
propriately the writer signs it "Foils
Farine." " t t
"My muscles," she says, "are behav
ing haillv: can vou eive me a cure,
please? I have a varicose on the right,
but it seems the ankle and bobt-bones
I can't sleep at nights they are so
sore and burn inwardly; no breaks of
any kind or marks other than the
varicose. I prefer troy weight to
avorduppis. Troy is lighter. Can I
rub the ankles with anything? I have
been walking eighteen miles weekly.
I take a. walk every night of three
miles."
Now, what .is one to make of that
screed? A measure of significance
may be apprehended, but only by
allowing words an unwarranted ,
range of meaning. The picture dimly
holds a woman, debilitated and weary,
fighting through days of housework,
all the time conscious of weight and
discomfort about her legs and feet. ,
The veins feel full. They show
up as swelling cords, which meander
erratically, look perilously overfull,
and bulge painfully at odd spots
when she tries to do much. And she
is always doing too much. At the
end of each day, when her whole "
sore system cries for rest and relaxa
tion, a sense of duty drives her out
along the lane for three miles of
physical culture sheer agony be
fore she goes to bed. And bed disap
points her. she is so tired that Sleep
will not come, and the strained ves
sels and overwrought muscles ache
and burn.
But her letter its medley or mus
cles and bones and "the varicose; the
occult aside about weight it simply
"darkeneth counsel by words without
knowledge."
I am inclined to dip beneath the
surface of her writing, and seize the
word she failed to write, and make
it the key to her complaint and my
answer, there is no such thing a a
varicose' any more than there can
be "a beautiful" or "a purple" or "an
urgent," for "varicose" is an adjective.
You may have varicose ulcers, vari
cose eczema, varicose veine, even
varicose formation upon shells. Her
varicosity evidently distigures a vein
qr veins.
If that reading be correct, and the
muscular inability purely a result of
defects in her circulation, the con
duct of "Folle Farine" .needs reform
and her idea of rubbing with some
thing is full of risk.
Her day's work should be light
ened. The less she stumps about on
her weary legs (over and above, the '
measure demanded by. inevitable
duties) the better for her distended
veins. Always when she sits down
she should if possible extend her legs
upon a couch or high stool or chair.'
Thi3 eases the circulation, helps the
return of blood from her extremities, 1
diminishes the wearing, tearing ten
sion upon vein walls. Three miles,
performed six nights out of seven, is
gratuitous cruelty, mischievous med
dling. And to rub the irritable veins
with anything .or nothing is to invite
disaster. Inflammation would almost
certainly follow. It might already be
present, and inflammation in a vein
means that a clot is to be expected
inside the tube a plug of congealed
blood, held by nothing but its own co
hesion from journeying off with the
blood stream which soaks its edge
and that journey involves death, pa
ralysis, or a fearful fight for. life.
Therefore, there must be no rub
bing. The best "Folle Farine" can do is
to live simply, quietly and pay par
ticular attention to the avoidance of
constipation, which notably aggra
vates congested and varicose vein.
To sponge her legs and feet, night
and morning, with cold water would '
tone up the walls of these poor veins
and improve her condition. And she
may also gain by wearing upon the
right leg (or each leg) a crene ln.
dage or elastic web bandage from the
loot to just oeiow tnc Knee putting
it on before she dressed in the morn
ing and taking it otf at bedtime. :
