they were alone, with no one to speak to aPer oflice hours, with

no pleasures and no amusements, and so they fell easy victims to the men I who picked them up ofi the streets and ofiered them a good time.

How to remedy this situstion and provide some way in which the strangers of e. great city can get in touch with congenial acquaintances, nobody scents to know. But no one will deny that some sort of social searing house is a great and imperative need. There should be some Sp?‘ o.’ place where a young woman or a young men can go with letters

‘ of recommendation from their own home towns showing that they sre ‘ decent and respectable, and where they can be introduced to other men and women who belong to their own class.

You need others more than strangers need you, so my advice to you L! to take zhe initiative. There is no truer saying than that 1f we wish friends we must show ourselves friendly. Perhaps the reason that you do not attract people is because you do not. fit in. You are not adaptable. You ‘bristle with opinions and get into arguments. That makes the aver- age person very tired, so put the soft pedal on your personal views and sec ".5 z: does no: make you a more agreeable companion. | DOROTHY DIX. I I I O I I ~ I Dear Dorothy Dim-Do you think that s. middle-aged man who has ' grown children and a. good, faithful wife can really fall in love with a young girl? Isn't it softening of the brain rather than love? Did you ever know of n case where s young girl ever really fell in love with an old man w-here it wasn't Just s pretense to get his money? If it wasn't for ' breaking ‘the heart of s wife, I would say let every old fool who thinks he ‘ a in love ‘with s flapper get s divorce and marry her, and get s good dose 1 of am: medicine he needs. wnst do you think?

sibility. happy in their homes and satisfied with their wivw, but suddenly sll this is changed. They become bored with domesticity snd long for freedom . f and adventure. They look st their wives snd realize that they hsvo lost their locks snd grown old, but they delude themselves into thinking they themselves are still young.

They have a flare-up of youth and romance and they yield to its lure because they realize it is the last call. And if they have made any money there is always some nice little gold-digger hanging around to flatter them and csJole them snd make them believe that they are still young bucks and the devils with women. 4

Many a. man divorces his faithful old wife and marries s young girl while in this age of lrresponslbility, but no sooner is the wedding cere- monly safely over than he discovers that isle illusion of youth was just s pipe dresm. and that he ls an old man after sll. Also, he soon learns thst the girl he married has nothing in mmon with him, that sll she wants ls his pocketbook and to run around and have a good time with ? boys of her own age.

CHAPTER 31 Prudence’: Rebellion

There are many types of women in the world. There are many shades and grades of character.

But in matters of the hem two kinds stand out, The woman-hard and self-absorbed and greedy-who grabs everything she can, and gives nothing in return-or anyhow, the minimum. And her ardent, whole- hesrted sntitheeis to whom love is everything, and who is generous to s degree.

One of the latter type was Prudq ence Page. A born lover. contrary to‘ her nsme, she loved, perhsps not wisely, but with s wholI-hesrted devotion that women of the stsmp of Miss Virginia Dale could never hope in understand, nor would they want to, in their selfishness.

Even ss s tiny tot, Prudence hsd loved devotediy. Her mother, her dolls, the tiny animals about the farm.

"That child's head will never gov- ern her heart," an observing neigh- bour hnd remanked.

"1 wouldn't have her different for the world," the fond mother had re- plied.

Now, however, she was ‘afraid’ for the warm-hearted little daughter. With reason, too. Her own worldly experience might be small, but one

Already there were shadows com- ing and going on the young girl's hitherto unclouded face. Already Prudences rippling laugh-thst al- ways in he: mother's ears had minded like s freshet of delight — was silenced.

m. Page hsd glsred st that sn- nouncemant.

"let me get my hands on him and I'll hmsewhip him. Just lot. me talk to Prudence. What does s mere child like he: want to imagine she's in love for, I'd like to know?"

His wife regretted unburdening herself to him.

She hsd yielded w s foolish im- pulse in confldlng the weight of her worries to someone who-being a mere man-didn't understand.

"Dent say a word to Prudence." She laid s hand on her husband's srm. "Mind. the girl hasn't spoken to me on the subject. It's Just what I noticed, what I guessed.“

‘Then s stopll have to be put to it. I won't. have you upset. by lny nonsense of the sort. Why. the child won't bs marrisgeable for years!" He was indignant.

"Promise not to speak to her," his wife implored. Prudence was high- splrlted, snd who knows that if she

What could be done? What said? Each human" soul has its isolation, its holy ground wberecn others — not even s mother-may intrude. Each human soul has its secrets snd

its retlcences. _

"If it only had been Mr. Arm- strong!" Mrs. Page said to her hus- banflwlsifully.

"Tush!" He was impatient at the very idea. of his little Prudence with a lover! "Leave the child be! If she has s fsncy for the foppish chap you speak of, she'll outgrow it! Calf love! It'll pass!"

There is still time to set out strawberry planislf this wonk was neglected in Spring. Potted plants can be purchased, and if set out carefully and given plenty of water will give a reasonably good crop next Spring. If an old bed is to be abandoned, the young plants» which | have taken root during the film-l mer, may be used for making a new i bed. The runners should be care- fully severed from the old plants and the young plants dug with as much earth as possible around the roots. It is advisable to give the bed a thorough soaking with water beforethls work is attempted so that the soil will cling to the roots. The important point to remember when setting out strawberries is that the crowns should be Just even with the surface of the ground. Trouble is likely to result if the plants go i into the ground too deeply or are set too high.
