he added.
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verc repealed by the recent irci:tl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.

" ReplytnK to the many letters I

Tf any of my readers possesses an

An 1'Kly Valentine.
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.
