tomato juice .and seasoning. and
paur this over the meet in the

air as he set at hie-desk in
the newspaper office. It was a. case
of "he healed others, himself he can—
,not heal."

Aunt Elissbeth. six feet one, stur-
dy and strapping, had had a misun-
derstanding with his fiancee. It was
all over the question how much in-
dependence a. girl should have.

In the columns of the paper.
where Aunt Elisabeth edited a. week-
ly review of nadem' love brobleme,
he advocated entire freedom to:-
girls. But it was very diaerent
when Maisie informed him tbst.
though they were engaged. she in-
tended going to as many dsncu as
she pleased, with other men.

And only the week before he had
Yes. Aunt
Elisabeth and Maisle he had quite

ed by throwing the ring at. him. ‘

It struck the oppoaite wall. rolled
under the buffet, and'got lost for a
while. Oh. it. bed been a fierce eve-
ning! _ '

And here, now. Aunt Elizabeth
hsd to solve a precisely similar case.

"I am an ends-god girl," wrote
Aunt. Elizabeth's correspondent. "and
very much worfied over the ques-
tion which has arisen between my-
self and my fiance as to how much
liberty an engaged girl should have.
I claim that he has no right to stop
my going to dances till the date for
our msrriage is fixed. He claims
that I must give, up my whole time
to him. Dearly as I love him. I do
not wish to be at his beck and call.
Desr Aunt Elimbeth. what shall .I
do?" - .

Aunt Elizabeth refilled his pipe
snd pondered the problem. Present-
ly he wrote:

“My dear child. although I must
admit. that. your fiance seems to ma
largely in the right, this is a ques-
tion that should not arise between
engaged couples. If you truly love.
each will be willing to make sacri-
fices for the happiness of the other.
You should not win: to go to dances
sgainst your fiance's desire. 0n the
other hand. he should not attempt
to control your movements in an ar-
bitrary way. It is a case of mutual
accommodation. Try to fall in with
your fiance's wishes. and, incident-
ally. advise him not to express his
wishes in a. manner calculated to
wound your feelings.”

Aunt. Elizabeth puffed at his pipe
and pondered.
say that; and yet he. the expert. had
hopelessly failed with Maisie!

Idly he turned over his corre-
spondent's letter. and on the back he
read:

"P. S.——l a.m so dresdfuliy worried
over this whole affair that. I have
decided to come to your office and
ask for your personal advice." The
word ”personal" was underscored.
"Dear Aunt Elizsbeth, you have
helped so many girls. I am sure you
will not deny me this interview."

Aunt Elizabeth sat up. An elec-
tric shook ran through his spine.
What was he to do? It would never
do to let her know that Aunt Eliza-

ed to different work with another
publication—the editor had 1m.-

he muttered: and at. that. moment
the office boy stuck his head in at
the. door.

“Lsdy here inquiring for
Elizabeth," he said with s grin.

“'I‘ell her she's out—gone sway to
a. funeral," answared Aunt Elizabeth.

The office boy came back. "She—
she nuts to know when Aunt Eliza-
beth's coming back," he said.

"Oh. this day week." answered
Aunt Elizabeth.

In a. minute the boy was bsck once
more. “She wants to know where
the funerel's being held." he said.

“Damnf'! ‘answered Aunt. .Elizs-

Tfiy stared at each other in blank
bewilderment. "You —- you here,

Dick?" simmered the girl.

"Why, I—er——I came to call on s.

Dick stammered. “But she's gone
to a. funeral. ShHr—she told me

we are never able to extricate our-

We like the thrill of speed and

Sometimes we find pleasure in

And so it is with all the other \

encounter these beacons at even;

In the proud highways. in tilt.

jealousy.

A little of it, mind you.

And the right kind.

Nobody hates the other sort-—
the cruel. predatory. soul-searing.
killing poison which ruins love.
wrecks lives. breaks up homes and
leaves a track of misery and
devastation in its beastly wake
worse than I do.

And I'd warn any girl to break
with her beau if he’s one of the
insanely jealous type. There are
many such about. And they make
no girl happy for long.

You can't love in peace and con-
tent when you know the man who
inspires it is eaten up with the
vile bile of horrible, unreasoning
jealousy. Who has no faith in
you or anybody else. Who is
a prey to ceaseless and base sue.

icions. , ~

But that is the extreme end of
the passion.

The other end is by no means
so bitter or so dangerous.

And I think a little reasonable
jealousy when you are in love acts
as a sort of ssuce piqunnte, a
sonpcon of ginger.

It keeps a. girl up to the mark.
It prevents her from slacking.
From becoming too self-satisfied.

Having been told by her boy
that she's the only one in the world
for him. she is nevertheless likely
to be called upon to bear e ex-
quisite pain of watching him look
quite pleasantly and admiringiy on
the rest of the attractive female
population.

A situation calculated to upset
the. amon‘r propre of any girl who.
like the rest of us in love. is so
crazily anxious to believe what she
wants to believe. Especially when
it comes from the only man in the

And so enter the legitimate
plugs of jealousy.

Which keep her up to the
scratch. so to speak. Provide the
necessary competition. And sd-
viso her of the folly of restins
too long on her laurels.

I don't. believe in being too
seif-satisiled—cven in love.

You hsve to work and compete
for love like everything else

worth while. ‘
where jealousy

And this is
comes in.

It stimulates love.

Many n. men hes taken his girl
for granted and enjoyed the com-
fortable sensation that he'd only
to raise his little linger to hsve
her rush to his side. to be suddenly
and rudely awakened by the cold
fact. thst someone else had his ad-
miring eyes on the lady. With
the pleasing result that he re-
newed his wooing with additional
ardor and then made sure of the
damsel by engaging her for ever.

Many a girl has been too sure
of her man and got to that stage
where she has treated him casu-
ally and perhaps cavslierly, to ex-
perience the shock of some other
girl walking off with him.

Never be too sure of anyone.

Particularly a lover of s lovoss.

Be jeslous.

Be jealous of another girl's
beautiful hair. Make yours beauti-
ful. Envy snother's serenity of
temper. Put. a curb on your un-
comfortable moods. When your
beau admires some other girl's
walk. don't snap at him impa-
tlently. Copy it. It can be done.

And so on.

Be privately jealous of your-

self. Your cbsrms. Your accom-
plishments. Your love. Your
beau.

And go one better than any
other girl who has even the re-
motest chance of cutting you out.

Rules of good form regarding
the wearing of Jewelry seem to
have been shaken out to the four
winds of heaven.

sapphires. rubles and diamonds——
but we might wear opaque jewelry

wear imitation pearls and real

pearls at the some time, if they‘

wish; they wear diamonds sndst

doesn’t seem to matter. The
world seems to have gone slightly
and humlesaly mad on the sub-
ject of jewelry.

Oddly enough it was during the
third decade of the last century
~—-juet a. hundred years ego—that
the world of womenkind became
obsessed with the idea of wearing
jewelry.

Probably by vrsy of cantmt to
the highly colored -jewelry that
seems to be preoccupying the ma-
jority of women now, the very dis-
criminating few have gone into a
sort of. half mourning as far as
jewelry is concerned. They will
wear nothing but black or white
or black-and—white trinkets. _

One of the smartest of all black-
snd-white necklaces consists of
the pearl tassel hung on a blsck
cord. Pearls are combined with
onyx or jet. and so are diamonds
or rhinestones. For the most
