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.

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 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.

"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- “Atm'r ELIZABETH" patron both was s msni in the week—the others being devot- ed to different work with another publication—the editor had 1m.- pressed on him that not even to his dearest friend was he to let. it be knOWn that he wss Aunt Elisabeth. 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.

The tidings they bear are always welcome nd encouraging, whether the elements be st peace or at war. And above all. their messages are sincere, unenliied by empty pretense or mean deception. They never stir a doubt. so the sailors trust them and sail on to their ports with minds at. case.

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.

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.

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.
