Franco-American
Spirit in Evidence
At Boucher Lecture
It was interesting to note how
many of our prominent people speak
and understand French, for there was
such a large audience at the Fon
tenelle Wednesday night, when Gen
eral Arthur Boucher, speaking in
French, described the battle of
Verdun.
Seldom have we seen a more en
thusiastic audience. The applause wa
so prolonged and spontaneous a;
here seemed to be a real Frenc
merican spirit in the air. When i
picture' of a French private soli'
was thrown on the screen the
:husiasm of the Omahans knew
rounds and it seemed too bad i
he pictured soldier couldn't hear t:..
, )vation.
. Even such a distinguished speaker
is General Boucher couldn't stop the
mitting needles, however, for they
i '.licked busily all evening. Miss Mar
garet Greer Baum plied four shiny,
, iteel ones and so we felt sure that a
arm, woolly sock was in progress.
Army officers there were in pro-
, usi'on and they sat forward tjn their
:hairs not missing a word. e spied
ne of prettiest society girls, Miss
Harriet Smith, in the balcony with a
vtalwart officer on each side, and,
eally, there were so many bars and
itars and medals in evidence that it
vas really bewildering.
. Mrs. Luther Kountze laughingly
said that she didn't undestand French
very well, that made Mellificia feel
better and she wonders if there
weren't a niimoer in the same predicament!

among the young people's religious
societies a book entitled "This Side

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Is He Worth Knowing?
Dear Miss Fairfax: About thres weeks
.,. I met a youns man at an amusement
pface to whi.-h both he and I go frequently,
but npt together. He la well manner,,! and
refined. The fact ia that he is married, but
doe" not live with his wife. He has no
rhZX. I have learned of his m.rrlsse
from himself, but I know nothing of his
married life. I would like your advic -to
whether It would be proper for me to

When a man marries unhappily am later
meets a fine girl for whom he cara- se
riously they have a real problem to olve. a
real tragedy to face. But when a 19-year-old
"youngster" a mere child with rec
ord back of him of a marriage at 13 -umes
into a girl's life, she would do well to s op
and think. Is such a boy worth knowing?
If he is emotional, weak-willed, unstab. and
without any real loyalty In his natui- it
wouldn't do much good to know him even
if ' he were single. His foolish, hbid.ong
marriage may not prove these things I

you to put yourself In a position to Judge.
When a girl goes about with a married
man her reputation Is generally fo f'ted.
This boy sounds like the sort of het.dk ng,
Impetuous, changeable youngster, who
would not be able to protect you I'.her
from the world or himself. You must pro

Into a dangerous position when you term
a friendship such as you suggest. Take
soundings and chart your course before you
irift too far.
Don't Marry Him.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am going about with
a young man In the marine corps. I know
nothing of his people, whether he is married
or single, and am dependent on what he
says. He ia anxious to marry, but I hardly
know what to do. I have a splendid portion,
t feel as though by marrying him I would
have to do without a great many things
which I have been used to getting.
Now, Miss Fairfax, I, am only 17, and
have no mother or any one to whom to
jo for advice. BEULAH,
Of course you must not marry a mat) of
nhpm you know absolutely nothing. If you
Jon't know whether to put confidence In
him or not, that la probably because a wise
little sentinel down In your, own soul Is
yarning you against him. I regard a 17-year-old
girl as really too young for mar
riagel I regard this case as one In which
you do not really love. You see, you are
thinking about your fine position and hes
itating to sacrifice material things for the
sake of this man. Now find the sum total of
every argument against the marriage. Here
you have doubt of the man, plus your own
youth, plus your unwillingness to sacrifice
for him, plus your uncertainty whether he
Is free to' marry at all. So of course" you
won't make a marriage which offers so
little chance of happiness.
and good looks. When you have had a
drink you are not in full command of your
self. You are a prey to all sorts of bad In
fluences that could not have touched you
but for the effects of the liquor. Stop drink
ing at once. Then go to this man proudly
and with fine dignity and say to him: "I
have Just begun to realize what a fine
friendship yours Is. I was starting to form
a bad habit and you called my attention to
it and made me realize the Importance of
conquering myself. Let's be real friends
and try to help each other always over the
rough places just as you have helped me
now." Be gracious enough and generous
enough to acknowledge your fault and his
helpfulness. That Is far more important
than petty minor consideration of false pride
and pert Independence.

DULL AND SHARP
SHOOTING PAINS
tBidugan Lady Suffered Such Paioi
In Back and Had, Bnt Says
Cardui Stopped These
Bad Spells.
Palmyra, Mich. Mrs. Chas. T. Ful
ler, of this place, writes: "In 1911 I
got run-down, and I suffered great
pain... with both dull and sharp
shooting pains... also back and head
I was weak and could only drag
around, and should have been In bed,
for I really wasn't able to be up. At
times I would have spells that would
be so bad I'd have to go to bed, and
suffered Intensely...
I decided to try Cardui, and saw a
great Improvement In less than a
month's time. I. used 7 or 8 bottles
and was stronger... I got so much
better that my strength returned and
my work was easy for me. Cardui did
me a world of good. It built me up In
health and strength. I haven't had one
of those bad spells since. I haven't
had to take any more medicine since
or have any doctors either and have
been able to do my work right along
. ..I recommend It to other women
highly as the best medicine I know
of for women who suffer from female
trouble."
If yon suffer from female troubles,
follow this advice. Get a bottle of
Cardui today and give It a thorough
trial It should help you, as it has
helped thousands of other women In
the past 40 years. At all druggists.

Girls and Drink.
Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: 1 am
In love with a youa) man who seems to Ijr
In love with me, but at times he Is very
dictatorial and offends my pride. - I take
a drink occasionally, and he reprimands me
for this.
Would you advise me to be obedient and
stop drinking, thereby giving him the upper
hand, or enow Independence? LILLIAN.
Whether or not this man 11 dictatorial,
bonestly doesn't matter. What does matter
la yourself and the dangerous habit you are
forming. Pon't worry about your pride.
Kecognlso the evil drink will do to you.
Apart from the fact that the woman who
drinks Is not judged kindly by the world,
there Is this greater consideration: tiijlnk

Not An Impossible Barrier.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I em 23, all alone in
this world. I was brought up by very dear j
mends, ana as they are both dead now,
I am taking care of myself.
Five years aso I met a very nice young
man, who In time I learned to love. We
were to be married In June. I have been
very happy in our love until the other day.
when I learned through accident that his
mother and my father were brother and
sister, making my sweetheart and mysHf
first cousins. I realize that under the cir
cumstances we can never marry, yet without
him I can find no happiness. I dearly love
him and I know that ho loves me. I have
worried myself into a nervous breakdown,
under which I suffered terribly. His heart
Is broken, too. DESPAIR.
My dear child, there Is nothing that need
cause you to torture yourself and nothing
that need drive your lover away from you.
I don't believe In marriages between first
cousins, but that Is from the point of view
of eugenics, and neither morals, decency
nor the laws of all our states forbid such
marriages. Since you two came to love each
o'her before you knew you were couBins, and
since the separation which you explain to
me (in a letter far too long to publish ai a
whole) have only augmented your feelings,
I think those feelings too real and deep to
sacrifice. There are even some scientists

who uphold cousin marriages. I think you
must have done some reading which you do
not understand and which gives you an ex.
aggerated view of the situation. In general
I do not believe la marriages between first
cousins. In your case I think you are mak

endure a separation you are not called on to
