Mr. Wheeler ae a rcmnie of the wuik of the 1M.M cMnn of tlie ettraka Jr t ure. dwelling, briefly on the most important inea urc. - A number of bill originally contained in the Childrru' code, which became act in that IcKulaturr, verc repealed by the recent irci:tl nciMOn, Hirh a the mcatiue provid ing adequate tatc bel for m!iooI in the weak litrict. "S'oii cannot ex pect to cut taxe and get the ame renin a vmi can with high taxes," said Mr, W' heeler. "Three bundled M-vcnty-five act were parsed," sdie taid. "out of the 1 .(MX) bill broiiKht up. The three bills which aroused the most inter est were the moving picture censor ship bill, the l'.n glish lanKoage law and the io called bread bill, where by standard weight of a loaf of bread a sot by statute. "The moving picture censorship bill vetoed by Governor McKelvie was passed by both houses of the legislature because Nebraska wom en have the vote," said the speaker. "The members themselves agree to that." The session itself cost $180,800, and the appropriations bills totaled approximately $26,(KIO.0U0. The larg est appropriatiotis. Mrs. Wheeler ex plained, went to the State university, the board of control and for the good roads. Of the 31' agricultural measures : passed, two of the most interesting are those providing a state game ref use, and that providing for the par tial reimbursement of owners of tubercular cattle whose livestock should be confiscated. Mrs. Whee ler stated that the co-operative move ment in Nebraska represented over $100,000,000 investment in the year 1920. "The Childrens' code commission worked 18 months on the, bills they submitted," said the speaker, "but the code was defeated in the legisla ture because most of the members were prejudiced against it as being new and expensive social legislation. It is our business to sec that the members of the next legislature un derstand it and hear about it." Even so, Mrs. Wheeler spoke of the great j-jtvance made in social legislation in tlie last 10 years. ."Human beings may sometime in terest the legislature as much as prop erty," she said.

Bear Miss Fairfax: I have writ i ten to you once before and I thank " you so much, for your advice. Now I am writing you again. I'm a little worried and don't know just how , to proceed in regard to a valentine.' I received one, an ugly one, the nrst of its kind I ha,ve ever gotten. Will admit it made me feel a little badly, having found out it was sent by a former friend (?) and schooltmate, and from all appearance it was in tended not kindly. This boy thinks I don't know who sent t and he is just as nice to me as evee. Shall I continue to treat him as a friend and never let on, or shall I show him I'm offended? Now. Miss Fairfav. isn't ir lirt manly for a boy, 17, to send a 14 : year-old girt an ugly valentine? I can enjoy a soke as well as any or.e, but I have reasons to think this wasn t meant for a joke. This boy had no grounds what ever for sending this. It wasn't obscene, but insinuated that I think myself better than others and will be taken down later on. OFFENDED. Least said, soonest mended. If I remember correctly, is an old quo ' tation which about answers your ecestion. Certainly ignore the ugly valentine. Tou may not be abso lutely certain anyway who sent it Even though you are. it may have been the boy's idea of a joke. (We cion't all have the same sense of humor, you know.) And then, the third proposition': Even though you may know who sent it. and know it was meant unkindly, why not ignore U and show the boy you really are a. little better than others because : you are not quarrelsome. Just ad ; 'mlt to yourself that you have your ; faults and that the point of the vat- enttne may be one of them. Let it go at that. There's nothing to be ' disturbed about. The boy was on v gentlemanly to send it and yeu can teach him manners by being a lady yourself. Puzzled: If you are quite at home with your hostess, it Is proper to refuse coffee. If the function is more or less formal, accept the cof fee without remark. You need - not drink it unless you wish. A few , ips would cover the etiquette of the case. There are some tonics which are good for oily scalps. The ma- - ?Tity of them, in tact, are dryinc " The flr'Jgei-st in jour iDWn could probably advise you. The Retort Dicky Drew from Madge. If Dr. Fettit's social manner were only as charming- as his professional manner he would be of much greater use to himself and to every one else. This reflection came to me, not for the first time, as I saw him bend over my mother-in-law when he had ar rived m record-breaking time after Dicky's frantic telephone summons. He appears instinctively to know what manner to adopt with each pa tient, and his address to my mother-in-law is invariably tinged with a sort of saturnine banter -which I have noticed she enjoys. You evidently like to have your limbs different from those of other people," he said to her, as he took up with infinite care the limp arm by her side. "This is the second one you've smashed, isn't it " that ought not to worry you,' she retorted with a grim little smile, which I knew hid intense pain. "What would you fellows do without fool old women like me? You'd miss half your practice. And now, hurry up with whatever you've got to do. This isn t very much fun, I can tell you. Facing Facts. "I know it," heaid sympathetical ly, "Just let me listen a second, and I think I can save you a good deal of pain." He took a stethoscope from it3 case and listened carefully to my mother-in-law's heart, which has not for years been all that it should be. "Surprisingly good," he comment ed. "I was afraid I might not be able to use.this, but I shall, after all." ''This" was a hypodermic syringe. which he proceeded to use on Moth er Graham s arm. That he had used but a mild dose I deduced from the fact that she did not succumb entire ly to its influence, moaning and turn ing her head restlessly while the set ting of the fractured arm was in progress. But that the opiate had saved her the worst of the pain was patent to us all, and we were corres pondingly relieved. It has always seemed especially terrible to me to see children or elderly persons-suf- ier. "And now we must face a few facts," I said when, after everything was over Mother Graham had fallen asleep, and Lillian and I were put ting things to rights in the living room. '. "Yes. Mr. Gadsiriiid," agreed Lil lian mischievously, and I flushed even as I smiled at her little thrust, for I realized that my manner had been a bit didactic. "We simply must have competent help in the kitchen for the next few weeks." I went on. "You know I've been through this broken-arm busi ness with Mother Graham before." "I remember it was some party! Lillian interpolated with an amused little chuckle. "Exactly, and she and Junior will take up most of my time, you must be free for your work, and there will be no one to break in a new maid, theretore I am going after Katie. A Different Dicky. It takes a good deal to startle Lil lian, but I saw by the quick look she gave me that I had accomplished this feat. . , "Do you think she will come back?" she asked quietly. "If it lay simply between you and her, was a housekeeping problem, it would be different, but you know what she said about not being able to ber.r it here with Jim gone in the way he has. "I know." I ?aid desperately, "but it's a cae of the boy and the wood- J chuck. I've just got to get her.r "Will yoiu tell your mother-in-law you are going for her?" x cs, it will keep her mind more occupied than could any other possi- Die topic. And please don t think I'm shirking the nursing if I start early tomorrow morning for the city and Katie. These first few days Mother Graham will be suffering real pain, therefore she will be veryi poised and tractable. Dicky will help you take care of her, and Mrs. Ticer will bring her family over, as she has to do when she. works here, and run the kitchen until I get back. Mic can do this m an emergency, but, of course, it is impossible as a permanent arrangement. And I will be back long before Mother Graham is able to get out of bed and. move around. Then is the time my coun trymen " . ' "tor all noncombatants to creep under the bed, I suppose," Lillian interrupted. You said a mouthful that time, Lady Jane I" Dicky grinned compan ionate at tis from the doorway. "I dodged mental brickbats and flatirons so often the last time that my bean's been a little out of plumb ever since. For once in your life, Madge, you ve got one tangerine ot an idea. Lil and I will manage mother, and f vou pull off this stunt and bring back our blessed (dam-sell. I'll 1 11 really I don t know what I will do for you." Lillian had risen unobtrusively and slipped out of the room. Dicky and I were alone, and the remembrance of his censuring words at the time of his mother's all steeled my heart against his smiling face and dancing eyes. And the little devil which too often lurks at my elbow prompted my retort: - "You will no doubf do as you al ways do, blame me for everything that happens, I said icily.
