The Course of Truo Jjove.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I have been
engaged to a girl for three years and
have always found her o be ideal.
We got along beautifully until a
couple of days ago, when she con
fessed that for the last two months
she has had a growing affection for
a man in her office. She says she
does not love him, as ho is not the
type of a man she would choose for
a husband.
She is unhappy because She is not
giving me a square chance and tells
me to wait. We have planned to
make a stern fight to bring her to
her right senses, as she is positive
he does not care a snap about her.
She tells me at times she hates
him and other times she feels happy
in his presence. J. P.
The girl has been perfectly honest
with you. The mere fact that she
can so coldly analyze ner reenngs
tor the other man and can discuss
them with you shows they haven t
a deep hold on her imagination. Try
to find which of two courses works
with her. She may be unconsciously
trying to rouse your jealously and
to speed the day of your marriage.
Terhaps the first glow cf your ro
mance is gone and this 1s her way
of reviving it. If that Is wrong, do
the sensible thing and help her get
this infatuation out of her system
by discussion and calm planning
with you.
Rising to Receive Introductions.
A hostess invariably rises to ac
cept an Introduction to either a man
or woman. A woman, while a guest
at a dance, dinner or afternoon tea,
does not rise when a man is pre
sented to her; nor when she is one
of a group to which a man is intro
duced, unless it is some one who is
somewhat older than herself or a
person of distinction, or, unless she
is seated beside her hostess, who
naturally rises to greet a newcomer.
In all other circumstances a woman
rises to receive an Introduction to
one of her own sex. It is scarcely
necessary to say that a man always
stands when any introduction takes
place in which he has part, whether
the person to whom he is made
known is man or woman, old or
young.
It is discreet ana polite to give
attention when a stranger Is pre
sented. In order to catch the name;
but on failing in this, a woman in
troduced to a person older than her
self has a right to ask, gently, "Will
you not tell me whom I have the
pleasure or meeting, ror i aia not
catch your name?" To a person
nearer her own age she may say
with lesa formality, "Mrs. Brown
called you Miss Jones, did she not?"
The same rules apply as well to men.
A cuest is not at liberty to refuse
recognition of an introduction 'fnade
by the host or hostess, though the
person presented should be an ene
my of long standing. It must be
presumed that the hostess is ig
norant of the true situation, and it
is. therefore, no injury to one's dig
nity to bow politely as If meeting for'
me nrst time a total stranger; later,
any further exchange of word can
ce tactfully avoided
"You'll find out later," said GrunW
Pio".
you the sort of lessen you've been
snickering about. What he intends
to do is to harm you in some way."
Now, nobody in Jt'leasant Valley
could look gloomier than old Mr.
Crow. And when he hinted darkly,
in his hoarse way, that there was
trouble ahead for the Robin family
he threw Jolly Robin's wife into a
flutter.
"Oh, what does Grunty Pig mean
to do to us?" Mrs. Robin quavered.
"I'd rather not tell you," said cJd
Mr. Crow. "I don't want you to
Worry."
Mr. Crow left them then. Of
course he couldn't have chosen a bet
ter way to upset Mrs. Robiu. Even
Jolly himself had. to admit after a
while that he could think of nothing
that seemed to cheer his wife in the
least. I'll speak to Mr. Crow again,"
he told his wife. "I'll ask him just
what he meant."
Alas! Mr. Crow wouldn't tell
him. The truth was that Mr. Crow
had already told all he knew.
"I'll ask Grunty Pig himself what
hp means to do to us." lolly then
declared to his wife. "I've noticed!
that he digs every day at the foot of
our apple tree. The next time he
comes here I'll have a talk with
him." So that very day Jolly put
his question to Grunty Pig.
"What is it," he asked, "that you
intend to do to us?"
"You'll find out later," said
Grunty Pig. "I expect to be in the
top of your apple tree before fall.
And then "
Jolly Robin couldn t wait for him
to finish. He had to laugh rignt
out, on the spot. And his wife, who
had been listening eagerly, burst
into the first giggle that had passed
her bill for days and days.
So Grunty Pig expected to climb
a treel Mr. and Mrs. Robin gave
each other a merry look. It was
all too funny for words.
"Umph!" said Grunty Pig. "You
won't laugh when I'm in your tree
''How are you going to get up
here?" Jolly Robin asked him, with
a wink at Mrs. Robin. "Are you
going to fly?
"No!" Grunty Pig said. "No!"
' "Then you're going to climb,"
cried Mrs. Robin. And both sha
and her husband choked, as they
pictured fat Grunty Pig scrambling
up the trunk of the old apple tree.
"No!" Grunty Pig said. "No!"
"Well, well!" Jolly Robin ex
claimed. "Don't be so short with
your answers. Explain how you ex
pect to get up into the top of our
apple tree."
"I never said I expected to get
up there," Grunty Pig corrected
him.
"What?" cried Jolly Robin.
"What?" cried his wife.
"No!" said Grunty Pig. "I said I'd
be in the tree top before fall. If I
work every day around the fojot of
the tree I'll have it uprooted at last.
And when it topples over and falls
on the ground I'll have no trouble
getting into the top ot it.

HOLDING A HUSBAND

H "Revelations of a Wife" y
The Way Katie Banished Worry
From Madge s Mind.
From the minute that Katie ar
rived Junior was her adoring
shadow. It seemed too absurd to
think that a child so young should
remember anything so vividly as he
evidently did the devoted woman
who had given him the place in her
heart which her own child would
have occupied if it had lived. But
I had purposely kept memories ot
her alive in his baby mind while we
were down south. And twice
week while we were gone had some
picture postal cards addressed to
Junior with loving messages from
the loyal girl which I had read to
him to his ecstatic delight.
All this first day of their reunion
Junior followed her around as if he
were an affectionate little puppy,
and it was only until he was safely
in bed for his late forenoon nap that
I found an opportunity to take Katie
over to the Dacey iarm" house
There Mrs. Ticer and Jerry, having
finished the cleaning of the rooms
which Katie and Jim were to occu
py, were busily engaged with Sam
licer in transforming the old corn
crib into a studio for Dicky. The
older Ticer who includes carpentry
among the trades of which he is jack,
but no master had cut window
spaces of standard half-window size
all around the old structure, and
was coverine them with-screening,
"You kin Kit those windows, all
vou want, from a place over at East
hampton." he had explained, "and I
can put 'em on hinges and attach
'cm by cords to hooks in the roof
above. Then you won't never need
to bother with cm unless it rains,
and they won't take a minute to
lower if it does."
As we came up Dicky hurried to
ward us. His coat was off, his shirt
sleeves turned up, his hair dishev
elled, while a smudge of black across
his face completed a picture at which
I gazed in astonishment. Dicky is
most fastidious about his personal
appearance, and he is undeniably in
dolent about any physical labor. Yet
he had every appearance of enjoying
himself immensely.
Dicky's Inquiry.
"What do you think of this, old
dear?" he demanded. "Sam tells me
that these bushes around this thing
are pink climbing roses, and that
among them are morning-glory
vines. Can you imagine anything
more nifty than that? Well, Katie!
How do you like your new home?"
He had shifted - the inquiry to
Katie with dispatch, and well I knew
the reason for it. To my faithful,
tempestuous little maid this, her first
inspection of the new home, was an
event of the utmost importance, and
I had seen as I knew had Dicky,
also her face redden and her eyes
flash at what she considered his neg
lect to greet her.
But her face cleared as if by
magic at his words. Dicky always
has been a hero in Katie's eyes, a
feeling dating back to the days
when she, an ignorant, terrified, im
migrant girl, did the cleaning and
cooking for the apartment which
Dicky shared with three other more
or less impecunious young artists.
I had heard the story of those days
often from Katie's lips. -.
"It's Up to You!"
"Oh, Meester Graham!" Katie
clasped her hands ecstatically. "It
shoost grand on outside. Meesis
Ticer she say it something fierce on
inside. But eet vun swell place,
only I bet I break my back getting
dirt off."
Her tone indicated that though
she was willing to go to the stake
for our benefit, she fully realized all
the hardships she would have to un
dergo, and wished them fully ap
preciated. Dicky winked at me
over herhead, and I spoke quickly,
soothingly:
"Oh. I don't think it will' be so
bad, Katie! There are three of the
Ticers to help you and Jim get
ready for the painters and paper
hangers, when we can get some to
start in."
Sam Ticer laid down his hammer,
sauntered over to us, and took a re
flective straw from his mouth.
"I heard yesterday," he drawled,
"that the painters over west are out
on a strike. So I drove over last
night, and talked to Hank Gowdy.
Hank says they'll be idle a week at
least, and he can git a gang to
gether that'll do the work you
want in jest a few days if you'll itnd
a hand with the cleaning and buy
your paper right away, I suppose
you folks'll want pretty swell pa
per, but you know them stores at
Southampton and Eastampton carry
all the stuff you can git in the city."
Dicky clapped the mans shoulder
vehemently.
You re a life-saver! he declared
enthusiastically. "Now, Madge, it's
up to you."
Katie drew nerselt up important-
"You make shoost vun leetle
meestake, Meester Graham," she
said with superb insolence. "You
tink I going to have Meesis Graham

She turned to me patronizingly.
"You coom by me inside house,

And with this familiar assurance
I banished all my cares concerning:

Parents' Problems
How can children best be taught
the horrors of war?
This is a difficult question, for the
reason that children are too young
.and too sensitive to be taught even
in small degree the horror of war.
Perhaps the same purpose would be
served by teaching them the beauty
of peace. Begin by making clear
to them that peace, like every other
good thing, should begin at home.
Then lose no opportunity of point
ing out to them blessings which can
only be enjoyed in a condition of
peace. Also acquaint them with the
efforts of noted pacifists.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. IRVING KING.
Onions.
The superstition of "folk-medicine"
all over the United Mates assigns
medical virtues which, therapeutical
lv. thev do not possess. The super
stitions vary in different sections but
all ascribe great power over disease
ti-v thf onion.
In some parts of New England it
is said that it you hang a row oi
onions over the door the house will
h cnardr.d aeainst the entry of any
disease which mignt ue Drougiu raw
it By a visitor. As the visitor crosses
the threshold the onions over the
door "draw" any infectious or con
tagious disease which he may have
out of him into themslves. There
fore you must on no account eat
onions which have hung over a door.
The onion superstition comes down
to us from the Egyptions by way
of the Latins. The Italians some
times carry an onions in their pockets
as a protection against the evil-eye
which, according to an old Neapol
itan writer, is very effective because
"the devil respects the onion, the an
cients having adored it equally with
himself." by "the ancients" he evi
dently means the Egyptians, with
whom the onion was a sacred plant
a sort of vegetable god powerful
to protect if propitiated. The string
of onions over the New England
doorway would make a citizen of
Thebes in the reign of Rameses feel
quite at home.

Ever Have a Grouch?
Did you ever know anyone to be
grouchy who did not think they had
a grievance?
What would seem like a grievance
to another might not affect you at
all, but nevertheless the man or the
women with a grouch has a personal
grievance.
If vou are closely connected with
a grouchy one, you are the first to
notice it and wonder why.
You cannot imagine, when you
are feeling good, why another should
feel quite the opposite.
When persons are busy every min

when a rest is imperative or there
is a bit of leisure, the mind begins
to think.
Look out that no one has a chance
to feel lonely on your account.

Where It Started
Bogus.
The term "Bogus." meaning false,
it a corruption of the word Borg
hese," and was derived from a fa
motis swindler of that name who.
in 18J7, flooded the west with coun
terfeit bills and notes on non-existent
banks. In tim any worthless
bill was called a "Borghese bill."
and the word became "bogus" by
process of long use.
