I Does Her Love Alone Tell a Girl
f Enough of the Man She Would Wed?
;V By Mary E. Walter.
Ctjopy right. 1916. by the Associated
Newspapers.)
i 'Xm romantic love the only easentlal on
Which to found a life partnership 7 a Uttle
girl who lives near this city has asked a
little rlrl who fetls that her heart Is badly
shattered.
Slx months ago this little working girl.
a(ad 17. who is motherless waa lntro-
' duced by a girl friend to a young man
the other knew casually. The young man
waa kind; he paid especial attention to
' tfc little girl. The little girl had had
mull experience in the world she was
vary trusting. Moreover she dreamed
Wmantically of the one man who would
sona day come to claim her. The man
called on the girl and took her to thea-
ters. She felt as she-lung to his arm
bow sweet it is to have the protection of
ft Strong man. She thought much about
the young man while at her work all day
and she knew in her heart that she liked
him. The man began to look at the little
Ctrl with a look in his eyes that she felt
ore he had for no other woman. Most
any girl knows how such looks stay in a
girl's memorv and makes her glad. The
other girls where she worked teased the
little girl about the man. but she told
them that he respected her as a sister
and she told the truth for that was the
reverential attitude he always bore.
The man met the girl's young friends
and the old friends of her mother. Then
one dav tenderly he asked her to marry
him. When he put his arms around her
and gave her a clinging kiss she felt
Invouslv that her dream had come true.
fhey were engaged Becretly for two
ha had talked to her occasion ally was so
prosperous they could marry soon. Then
the Uttle girl wrote of her treat happi-
ness to her favorite aunt. - On .that the
aunt came to visit her and asked: "What
have you found out about tola young
man's character and business relations
and what worthy people think of him?''
"My love tells me he Is honorable that
t can trust him.' replied the Ctrl.
"Love and trust are beautiful." said
the aunt "but marriage Is a very seri
ous and practical matter. I believe a girt
should find out all she can about a man
before she takes hlra for life." To the
dismay of the little girl the aunt had a
talk with the young man and told him
that acting for the girl's mother she
would like to know more about the man
her niece was going to marry. Accord-
ingly she went to the young man's place
of business. She found he was seldom
there. She went to' where he lived and
learned that little was known of him.
Of the people he gave as reference some
knew nothing about him or else roused
the aunt's suspicions. While she Inves-
tigated strangely the young man didn't
call on the girl.
One clue led the aunt to the police of
whom she learned that while the young
man had come from a respectable family
and had once earned an honest living he
had for a long time been a gambler
crooked at cards had been arrested sev-
eral times was known variously as Jack
Penn James Pryn Johnson Prltchett and
kept bank accounts under each name.
The little girl could not believe that tbe
big brother lover was anything but per-
fect till she saw his picture In the rogues
gallery.
"Poor confiding child." said the aunt:
"like many a young girl and older wom-
an too she thought love was all. too
blinded to see the everyday side of mar-

To learn repose practice sitting In all
kinds of chairs letting the chair do the
work It waa Intended to do. Few women

Practice lying in bed relaxed and enjoy
a restful sleep instead of fatiguing sleep
so common to most women of this coun-
try. Relax the muscles absolutely when

The Joh of Getting a Job.
By Jessie Roberts.
"Dear Madame: I would give half my
life to know how to get work and I am
wondering If you could give me a wrinkle
or two. I have a B. A. university degree
and have also taken a post graduate
course. I simply love and adore study.
But. oh. It is an awful thing to have
one's people look at one with reproachful
eyes ss much as to say It was high time
I was doing something to bring In money
after all the expense I have been to
them. But how to get a Job?
"I could be a dietitian. I suppose hav-
ing studied everything relating to dietet-
ics. Or I might be a social worker hav-
ing been a most Interested student of all
social problems- But there does not
seem to be anything to do In that line
wtth a salary attached. The workers
are voluntary and I must earn some
thing. Where could I apply in order to
tet into the public healtn service or mea-
cl social work or into social welfare
work? Advertising seems useless for
those branches. I do not like teaching
and to get a teacher's degree must go to
the university for another year la teach-
SUFFERED WITH
IIEADDACKLEGS
Morphine Gave Only Temporary
Relief But Cardui Brought
Back Good Health.
Stephenville Tex. Mrs. Jay McGee of
this town gives out the following sta'e-
mer.t: "For a year I suffered untold
agonies with my . . . each month. I al-
most had spasms. I was in bed eff and
on for a week at the time. I suffered
with my head back and legs. I suffered
terribly with pain in my head my back:
hipa and legs ached all the time. I had
to keep morphine tablets in the house to
ease my suffering. Nothing else would
do me any good.
Nothing nothing I ever took did me any
good until 1 took . . . Cardui. It has
been the means of my good health todsy.
Cardui cured me . . . for I never saw a
well day until I had taken Cardui. I sut.
fered this way for years. . . . each
month. It grew worse all the time until
I found that great remedy Cardui
lie fore taking Cardui I had six different
doctors with me. None of them did me
any good. They said . . . nothing else
would do but an operation but tiiey did
not reach my case. I took C uottles of
Cardui und It cured me. . . Cardui did
for me what mother father friends or
doctors could not do. I can never praise
Cardui enough for I owe my life to
it. . .
1 am now able to do my work and
look after my babies. I beg you women
and girls who are afflicted with woman's
troubles to give Cardui a fair trial."
Follow Mrs. McGee's advice it's worth
a trial.
