The love of parents can never flu the heart In same measure as tha love for tho other sex. And parents mostly are selfish at any rate. They eeem to mean well, and vet more often when you sift things down, it's their own selflah ends they're look ing tor. Don't all hold up your hands in horror at the accusation.

I've studied it bv observation, anil I'm a mother myself, but a non-butter-ln. because I've had too much of that in my own life. I followed my father's advice and have rued it all my life. Had I married tha man of my choice I'd be a rich woman todav. instead of counting the nickels to make ends meet.

So, son, follow your own head, and your parents will eventually get over tneir shock. Better to shock them than shock yourself Into an abyss of despair, that will rob you of every ambition and obscure the sunshine out of your existence.

I Zir VMEi xv I IS I "Twtxt Love and Duly" Opinions. The recent letter signed "Twtxt Lore and Duty" hss brought many Interesting comments. Some of the most helpful are being published today. HELEN WORTH. Marry the Girl.Tut Do Not Think You Arc a Hero.

Daar Helen Worth Have Just finished reading the letter signed "Twtxt Love and Duty." The parents of a married couple aro often the eauM of great unhapplness and discord due to their Interference. Kve never been able to understand why a girl. In, a Question of thlt tort, must be forever branded because of a fault of her parents. The man's parents in this Instance, I think, are positively cruel to shut tha door against this unfortunate girl; unfortunate through no fault of Jrsr own. If It were a man It would be a dif ferent thing (In a way) because he would not have a name to give hti wife.

I do not feel It is the way God intends things to "be. She Is in no way responsible for what, her father and mother did. If she Is a good woman and anyone holds ber pa rents' mistake against her, they, are not true Christians, and I think this man would be wicked if he gave up bit love for this reason alone. "Twlxt love and duty." Dol Marry this girl but don't feel that it makes you a hero by doing so. Put yourself in her place.

Would you feel that you should be blamed if your parents had caused such a blight upon your UfeT ROSEMARY. Make Your Own Choice. Dear Helen Worth In roforenco to the man who loves a girl of unknown birth. I would say --this: What the people say depends entire ly upon what strata of society he circulates In. Some folks are uppish and narrow-minded, others evince the Christian spirit of "Let him cast the first stone who is without sin." To the latter class It would make little difference who the forebears were, as long as the girl herself were noble and straight And have you ever noticed that those kind usually are 7 uoa seems to taxe especial care of such.

You ask for experiences. Many years ago my aunt found a little girl baby on her doorsteps one early morning. Being childless she considered It an act of Providence to so kindly thrust an innocent little mite of humanity upon her. She took It In, kept it and took out adoption papers, much to the disgust of her brothers and sisters, who Mid she was Imposing unnec- esMry troubles upon herself. But In the long run, every one got used to the situation, learned to love the child, too, and as the years passed teemed to forget all about the circumstances.

No one ever taunted her with the facts and when she married my aunt disclosed the facts to her fiance, who Mid It mattered little to him and that It would prove no barrier. And it didn't for the girl became an excellent wife and mother, and the very aunt who rebelled the most at her advent Into the family, left her $7,000 at her death. So It's just a question of getting used to things. Does not Christ teach us to observe tolerance and forbearance? When in the world will people ever becomt Christianized In the true sense or the word? When will people ever gather enough moral courage to suit themselves Instead of fearing 10 iook 0111 iot nimseu nrst, last na always. iiim me Den policy in 1 I 1 sympathy when we're blue, downcast and melancholy.

With the evidence before us as we write, we Incline to the belief that the lady was French by birth, one who has been constantly Identified as living In Paris with two nieces. Although she has been pointed out by a number of persons on the boulevards, she has continually refused to admit that she Is tha original of these brilliant lotters and all Paris Is still struggling with the myttery." The questions which surrounded these "Letters to an Unknown," together with their freshness, their epigrams, their wit and the careloss boldness with which the author refers to leading men and women of his day, make them unique In literature. The first of the letters was written In -1843 and the last on the day of MerTmee's death, Sept 23. 1870. But neither at that time nor upon any previous occasion did the author give the slightest Indication of the Identity of the person for whom this exceptionally Interesting correspondence wss Intended.

The pack falls backward, as though on a hinge, but there Is not enough force In t'he shot to knock It off the stand. In this way the game becomes a sure thing, as far as the operator I concerned. Occasionally he will tot a pack of cigarettes well back 011 tho stand, so as to encourage his (01 nor) customers, for one successful shot will bring renewed efforts on the part of all the players and tne dimes will flow In across the counter as fast as the guns can be reloaded. There are two ways In which the operator Is sometimes beaten by clever players. On tthe front stands llrht packs of cheap cigarettes nre often placed.

These packs contain only 10 cigarettes, instead of the found In the more expensive packs. Accordingly they are Ignored by most players, who prefer to thont fcr bigger game, But a player with a fairly good aim can easily knock ot the cheap packs on an averaga of two out of three shots.

When the player loads his gun he pushes a large beaded tnumDtacKK into tne end of tne cork, This considerably Increases thi weight ot the cork and renders it quite capable of knocking a large pack ot olgarottes off tne (lass stand.

The operator It usually quick to detect this deception on tne eart ot the player, as he looks carefully at each cork which hat knocked off a pacK or cigarettes. Sometimes the operators Introduou guns that are far from true, and thus disturb the player's aim. It has been claimed that sometimes the bottoms of tne racks are weighted, or that packs are glued to the glass stands on which they stand, but such measures are absolutely unnecessary it me glass stands are or tne propei sue ana tne rinee are not too power ful, or the corks too heavy.

AMONG tha most Interesting of the literary letters of the world are thoM of Prosper Merlmee, the famous French author, addressed simply to "Incognita," a mystery which the author never divulged.

As regards tha identity of "Incognita" and the manner In which the publication of then letters was received in Paris, It Is sufficient to quote the opening paragraphs from a paper on them which appeared In the London Quarterly Review for January, 1174:. "No literary event since the war has excited anything like such a sensation in Paris as the publication of these 'Letters to an Even politics has become a secoSdary consideration and academicians or deputies of opposite parties may bo teen eagerly accosting each other In the Chamber or in the stroct to Inquire who this fascinating and perplexing unknown could be. The statement In the Revut dux Mondas that she was an English woman moving In brilliant society, Is not supported by evidence and M. Blanchard, from whom the publisher received the manuscripts, died most provoklngly at tha very commencement of the Inquiry.

She has not passed the stone yot, but her bowel action Is free and she does not seem upset or distressed. Should I consult a physician or wait for nature to take Its course? A. B. J. Ans.

When a child swallows a foreign body avoid cathartics.

I do not believe In sending children under yean ot age to school or to kindergarten, at I think It injures health.

Am I wrong? Mr. O. C.

0. Ant. Not think you are right. In fact I think it would be better in all respect not to tend children to school until they are I yean old, then for not mora than three hour a day. But the child' education should begin when you begin to teach him to talk and walk.
