The stepsisters never thought of letting her touch their doll—she played alone in her dark corner with the lead sword and never sald a word, while they chat tered and invented games to play with their toys. Then something happened to dis- tract the attention of the two little stepsisters, and they left the fireplace wih their toys seattered before it Among them lay the doll, flat on her tuce, and Within regeh of Cosette.

(., Dog-in-Manger Girl, Who Is Stirring Up Trouble for Former Sweetheart—How Can She Cure Mother of Question-Asking? R MISS DIX: Two years ago I fell heavily for a very pretty and acious young girl. She said “no” three times. A year later I met and successfully wooed my wife, a little, dainty, soulful girl, the kind that takes in all the stray cats and dogs and binds up their hurts, and we are happy, almost. The fly in the ointment is that my old sweetheart, who lives close by, and is still single, finds our house too attractive. She is eternally running in, and it 18 obvious to all that she doesn’t come to see my wife. This girl is in business. Sometimes I run across her downtown, and just to be friendly on one or two occasions I have asked her to have a drink. She never fails to tell my wife of these chance meetings. Now my wife has become jealous, and this puts me in an awkward position, as T have no feeling whatever for my former sweetheart. I don’t know what to do, as I don't want my wife made miserable, yet I don't like to be discourteous to the girl. To what classification of girl does our neighbor belong? What should be the wife's attitude toward her? What mine? THE WORSE HALF. Answer: The girl undoubtedly helongs to the genus dog-in-the-manger, and. believe me, they justify Mr. Kipling's opinion that the female of the species is more deadly than the male, i This girl didn’t want you herself, but she cannot bear to see another woman have vou. The fact that you married, instead of wearing the willow for her the balance of your life, is a deadly affront to her vanity, and she is going to avenge it if she can by taking you away from your wife. And the fact that she will break up your home and make both of you miserable doesn’t cause her even a passing qualm of remorse I will warrant that every time she runs into vour house she has spent half an hour primping before her mirror, and that she has put on her most becoming frock hecause she is determined to make vou see how much better- looking she is than your wife. And I will bet my new hat that she is so soft and amiable that butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, and that she “ves.yeses everything you say, and flatters and jollles you as she never did in the when you were courting her. These tactics are to make you feel how much better she understands you, and how much more she appreciates you than ur wite docs <ou downtown, and that And when she tells your wife about meeting % she is perfectly wonderful drink you had together, and how she enjoved it doing it with the deliberate purpose of making your wife think that vou had ates with her, and the more green-eyed your wife becomes the more she s it Oh, there are some mighty able female workers in the Home-Wreckingz Crew, brother! Your little neighbor has begun digging her way at the foundation stones of your love nest, and if you don’'t watch out she will have it tumbling down about your ears before you know it. And don't believe that she is doing it for love of you. either, or because she has a helated regret that she didn’t marry you. Nothing of the kind.

Answer: There is not a thing on earth you can do to stop It. Rose. Tt is & mother-complex that it would take God himself to change. for It has it root in the eternal mother-love that makes evervthing a child does of al | interest to her, and in the mether anxiety that never realizes that chil | grows up and zets old enough and big enough and wise enough to take care | of itselt | I have no doubt that Solomon’s mother, to the day of her death, toid | him exactly what he ought to do about every move he made, and that | Napoleon's mother warned him against running into danger. It s the way { of all mothers, and it makes their children perfectly furious with them, and ! drives them from home, but mother goes right along asking questions that she knows are going to antagonize Sally and John, just because she can't help herself. She is just built that way It is because a mother's children are such a part of herself that she never realizes that they have an individuality of their own, and their own private thoughts and interests with which no one has a right to meddle The bane of family life is family curiosity that pokes and pries into our souls and puts us through the third degree about everything we do and | leave undone. But there is one comfort for vou, Rose, You can avenge your- | self on your own children when You have them, for you will ask them just { the same questions that your mother asks you DORTOTHY DIX. l) AT MISS DIX: For some time we have been questioning the view taken Ly our parents in rezard to the so-called necking, mugging and petting parties and the general conduct of the present generation. \Why do they censure 1t? As the old saying goes, “Time chunges all things,” and the freedom of the sexes huppens to be one of the things that time hus changed greatly since their day. Many things they thought were wrong are matters of course now, and a boy of today thinks no more of kissing a girl's lips than our grandfathers did of kissing a girl's hand. We hold your sympathy for young people in great esteem, and will appreciate your opinion on this matter THE WONDERERS.

Candles are often bought because they are economical decorations, and because they furnish auxiliary light in a very cheap but attractive way. As decorations they lend color to holi- Qdays and feasts, and when the festive season 1s over they grace the buffet or sideboar When buying candles it is essentlal to keep in mind the purpose for which they are intended. Some buy candles to illuminate as well as to decorate, and they require candles with real power. Others simply buy them to lend a colorful touch. ~Among the purposes and places women have in mind are mantelpieces, ghelves, desks and tables for evening, luncheons, teas and dinners. The discriminating shopper should learn just what type of candle Is suited to her purpose, especially if she Wishes to fit it to a particular candle- stick and place. At Christmas red candles are popular, while for formal occasions white, unadorned candles are appropriate. Often the purchaser does not know that the quality of a candle depends to some extent upon the nature of the | decoration on it. Some candles are beautifully palnted by hand and are quite expensive. The price Is also de- termined by the quality of the wax and the workmanship spent on the candle, Polychrome candles are hand- some fixtures for the dining room, and ivory tinted candles with silhouetted figures painted .on look well in the Dbedroom. . A candie will not burn long and steadily merely because it is long and thick, unless it is tightly made. Loose wax will not enable a wick to burn long, nor give a steady gleam. Feel the candle before you buy it, and assure youreelf that it is firm, with a well made wick. The larger the wick the more bril- liant light the candle will throw. You can buy candles of ' cathedral size which will 4lluminate the largest room, or stumpy little “all-night” candles which will give a steady but dim light. Most candles are not bought for brilliance, however. They are either for simple decoration or to lend a sort of theatrical air, A dinner eaten beside the glow of majestic candles is not soon forgot- ten.

Mistletoe, Now is the season when pretty girls look carefully overhead before they stand in one place long—whether for fear that they may see thern the sprig of little white berries or for fear that they may not, I leave you to con ciude. And gay, indeed, are the hap penings underneath the benediction of the little gray-green shrub so ancient in lore and clustering legend. Balder, the sun god, was slain, ac- cording to the old Norse legend, by an arrow shot from a bow of mistletoe. It must have been a remarkably big and tough plece of mistletoe out of which a bow could be fashioned, but then the mistletoe of Europe is only distantly related to American mistle- toe. Tt 18 in connection with the Old World plant, too, that we remember the doleful ballad, *The Mistictoe Bough,” about a coquettish girl who hid herself in a box, the lock of which snapped after her, so that she was not found until she was crumbling skeleton.
