A fresh outlook, as well as a change of occupation, is a most refreshing thing.

If it recalls more than Spring morning long ago, when a lilac spray bending over a fence caught your fancy, then the lilacs, blooming now all over Washington, will at least bring back to mind the fragrant recol- lection of other warm April mornings, of sunlit showers, of “the time of the singing birds.” Walt Whitman's “When Lilac Last in the Dooryard Bloomed” connects the flower with grief—grief over Lincoin's death, which occurred on April 15, 1865, just when lilacs bud out. Alfred Noyes, in his poem “Come Down to Kew in Liliac Time, no some | sings the joyful phase of lilacs, in a song as cheerful as a robin’s. Such a hardy t is the lilac, 80 willing to thrive anywhere, that people are inclined everywhere to look on it as something characteristically and peculiarly of their own region. Yet lilacs are comparatively recent in the western world, as compared to, say, the rose. Their ancestors originated in Persia, and by the Saracens were taken to Constantinople, whence they reached central Europe in 136( Since that time an enormous num- |ber of varieties, has been developed {b skillful horticulturists, giving every ade from virgin white to purple. And now, in recent years, botanical explorers of China have added many new species in the garden world— with strange shapes and many beau- tiful shades of rose and rose-purple. Nothing, however, will ever surpass in the heart of the common man the old-fashioned original Persian lilac, with its magic scent and its delicate color. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN.

Rebuke to a Tightwad, Slovenly Husband. IDEAR MISS DIX: I am finishing high school in June. I have taken a college preparation, expecting to go to college, and now T found out that I cannot do so, unless I borrow the money with which to do it. Shall 1 do that, or take a bwsiness course, and become “somebody’s stenog’ I' have no particular talent. Another thingd What kind of girl shall T be? I have the average good looks, and I go with an awfully nice group of girls at school, but they are rich and 1 am poor, and I cannot hope to entertain them as they enter Shall T continue to g0 with them, or give them up? Answer: In my' own experience, Fifteen, T have always found it best to sit down and look fatts squarely in the face. It never pays to lie to yourself or kid yourself into thinking that some fairy tale is going to happen to you that will turn your pampkin into a luxurious car. So here, then, ard your facts. You are finfshing high school and you must earn a living. The fmportant thing for you to decide is wha to do. Nobody can do.that for you, because you must know anybody else what you Have an aptitude for. better than ¥ 30, and earning So declde on your trade or profession, and when you have done that, to work and perfect yourself In it. It ks only the e s who get good You will have to work just as hard for $10 a week as you will for it will be your skill that will draw down the difference in your capacity. Unless you intend to be & teacher, I would certainly not recommend that You borrow the money to take a college course. That will take four years of your time, and burden you wih a debt that it will take you years to pay off and after you have your college diploma you will still have to go to work to learn something whereby you ¢an make Your bread and butter. Do not despise stenography. That is a stepping stone to anything el you want to do. You will be anmzed to know how muny of the big men of the country, bankers, merchants, railroad presidents, began their carcers stenographers, and there are no better aid women than the h private secretaries in business offices. counts. Not long ago T asked the editor of a big womat’s magazine thought the most promising occupation that a bright, intelligent girl could ga into, and he promptly answered the department st that many college graduates are starting at the bottom eye on becoming buyers and heads of departments. But it doesn’t make difference what you do. If you do it well enough, there is a future to i money in it. As to your trying to keep up with your rich and fashionable friend: 1 think is the height of folly. It can bring vou nothing but envy a bitterness, and must end by making you a parasite. You will be far happier and have far greater respect for yourself if you live according to your me: and assoclate with people who live as you do. You will find, my dear, that when your school days are over these triendships with richer girls will gutomatically end. And if you are wise vou will drop the girls before they have the chance to drop you, and thereby save your face. DOROTHY DIX nice wife, but she has pecullar wavs. Most of the time she economizes, but the other day when I brought home seeds for my garden to help out the grocery bill this Summer, 1 discovered that she had planted most of the garden space in flowers, and we can't eat flowers, you know.

Z., I think the first thing for 3 to realize what a fine wife you have, and to perceive that she is trying to help you. It is a great thing for a man to have a beauty-loving wife, who makes things pretty and attractive around home, and he makes a great mistake ¥ he doesn't encourage her, instead of knocking her for it. ottito do 18 fo 2ry 1stead of very wise and buy white ced with your wife because she planted flc you can't eat flowers es of bread? Sell one You are provo cabbages In your garden, and you man said long ago, ‘‘Hath thou two I hyacinths to feed thy soul.” Think of it in this way—do you ever go along the street and see of little houses built just exactly on the same plan, as like as peas in : One house will have dirty windows, and a yard littered up with old ti and trash and refuse, and it will be a hovel. Another one of the ho have clean windows and fresh muslin curtains, with a bright g blooming on the sill. A vine will be trained over the doorway, and th will be full of blooming flowers, and the place will be a home. That is what your wife is trying to make for you—a pretty, cheery home, and, believe me, it is worth more to you than any snap beans and carrots you could grow on the ground. nium yard bout the things she needs, the remedy for that is simple. Make her an allowance for the house and herself, and she won't have to bother you by mentioning money. Any man who doesn’t make his wife an allowance is a mean, tightwad husband. And how can you expect her to stay in love with vou if vou don't keep yourself washed up and brushed up? Take this tip from me, X. Y. Z., if you Wwant to retain your wife’s affection and get on in business, vou have to keep yourself looking snappy. DOROTHY DIX. As for vour wife nagging you s EAR MISS DIX: Last September I married a man who T thought was the most wonderful man in the world, but I see my mistake already. He beats me. If we happen to get into an argument, one is bound to do now and then, bang! I get a good crack. But, Miss the trouble is that 1 love him, and want more of his brute treatment. But do vou think I should stand for it? PUZZLED BRIDE OF A BRUTE. Answer: Every woman to her taste, my dear. If you crave cave-man stuft, 1 should think that you had gotten an ideal mate, and had better freeze to him. There are men who are so decadent that they could not bring themselves to lift a hand against a lady, and you might be unlucky enough to get one of these soft and degenerate creatures if you married again.
