Tttonday^co4^9lP ijfoh—J.J.M^ J"J j*--'^ ,"• ■■--ti"jff--tf - f'rt ..-I. —-, Special Features of Interest T© Tine Times' Readers Cynthia Grey's Answers WRONG TO PUT TEMPTATION IN HKR WAY I>ear Miss Grey: I have read a great deal of the dis cussion, pro and con, in regard to allowing young girls to at tend places of entertainment unaccompanied, and am at last impelled to express my feelings in the matter. 'A Twentieth Century Young Woman," I suppose, Is 15 years of age or thereabout, since she says that is the age at whirh girls acquire the faculty of distinguishing between right and wrong. I believe in trusting my children, but that does not mean that I must trust «very i>erson with whom they associate, and especially those they meet by chance at places of amusement. "A Twentieth Century Young Woman" states that too many young girls go wrong on account of parents being too strict; but I think a great many more go wrong on account of too careless parents. I hold that It is my duty to know Tl»o associates of my daughter, and to see that their characters are irreproachable. 1 also believe she should be permitted to at tend ivs|H- ( tiiMe places of entertainment, but never alone when late in the evening, as I think it wrong to put temptation in her way by allowing her on the streets after dark, unless in the company of myself or one whom I can trust with such a treasure as I consider my pure and innocent girl to be. And so I repeal emphatically, "it is not a question of trust ing my daughter, but trusting her companions." JUST A FATHER. CHAPERONE QUESTION MUST BE SOLVED THROUGH PARENTS Dear Miss Grey: The chaperone question must bo solved through the parents. There is nothing will make a good girl X'» wrong or nothing that will make a limn «>■■ hoy tukit ad vantage of any girl, good or bad, if he has had the proper bringing up. A girl hue no business going any place with a man she cannot trust, chaperon or not". A man bus too much respect for himself, hit mother, and sisters, his sweetheart or girl friends to place them in any suspicious light. Too many parents fail to sit up and take notice until too late. What is needed is more coiii|»anion>thip between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters. Let them he chums and there will be less need for chaperons and juvenile officers. At the same time it will put public dance halls, noodle .joints and such out of running. A FATHKIt. * THE INSTALLMENT PLAN Dear Miss Grey: Like all the rest, I come to you for ad vice. 1 bought some furniture of a company and find it is nut as represented and not in good shape. They refuse to ex« change or do anything. What can I do? Can I make them refund the money, or exchange, and how? If I sign a con tract to pay $."> a month and can pay only one or two, can they take it away from me? I hope you can answer this soou. I read your column every day and know you are right STUNG. A.Even though the contract may so state, the company can not remove the furniture from your premises without judgment from the court. That is the law. The companies make the con tracts; but the people make the law. If you saw the furniture, and it is the same as you ordered, you are at fault, too, If you were cheated, and if you contracted to pay $5 a month, and keep the furniture, you should do so, and profit by your lesson. wnxnra to maiiky kithkk I>enr Miss <irey: How would you go ulx>ut it to let two girls know that you think enough of them to marry either one of them if there was a chance? They have gone to another town; hut write once in n while. < 'onld there he any true love created with them. I like both of them veiy much, un<l would like to hold their friendship, even if they would not marry me. 1 have only known them uhout three weeks, and they are such jolly good company to be with. You will pleuxe let me know through the imper. ' J. N. B. A. —The fact that you are willing to marry either of them shows you to be totally ignorant of the first principle in the game of love. Better keep them as good, jolly friends, and wait until you konw what love is before you begin to play with it. FOIJ A lUKTHI)AY PAKTV Dear Miss Grey: What games are pluyed at a birthday pnrty givcu by young folks (the youngest being 17 years of age)? And also, what shall we serve to eat? Is it necessary to set the table, or just pn.ss refreshments around.- Thanking jou. MAUKIj. A. —Ask at the library for "Games," by Dame Courtney; also "Indoor and Outdoor Games." Serve sandwiches, filled mashed bananas mixed with chopped nuts, lemon juico and a little sugar. Keep filling air-tight if made before serving time. If you live near a store, you can get a number of light boards on which dress goods are wrapped and use them for lap boards for the guests. Either send invita tions by mail or deliver them verbally. AS LONG AS UNEQUAL STANDARDS EXIST, HI EX SHOULD BK WATCHKD Dear Miss Grey: If men, generally sinking, worn as pure nnrf honorable in tin ii intentions towards girls and women as they simiiiii be, there, would be no need of surveillance of mothers or sisters; but so lons as men and hoys believe that ■ girl or woman is their legitimate prey, that they <.ni use every effort to gain a dishonorable end, and then go "scot free" so far as society is concerned) just so long will it seem nec essary for girls to need |wotection from them. And while it is true that there are men and buys as hon orable and true as the girls with whom they associate, they are very few and far between, and even those men should not object to the proper protection of the girl, until they prove their honorable intention and character. JUSTICE. MOTHKItS TRUST HIM, AND HE TRKATS THE GIRLS AS THEY Dear Miss Grey: My opinion is that most of the girls want some tough bny to travel with them, and after they get in trouble they holler about the way they have been mistreated. I am 28 years old and I find that a quiet, square fellow stands a very |M>or show of winning a girl nowadays. They call him a boob; but I will say that mothers have trusted their daughters with me and tlu-y always have been treated Just as they treated If they took no liberties I was just tin- same with them. A YOUNG MAN. THE MEN NEED THE CHAPEHOXE Dear Miss Grey: As lam a mother, I want to say a word In answer to "A Man," who Hays if a mother can't trust her daughter she bettor keep her at home. It is not so much that girls cannot be trusted as the nien. No girl ever goes wrong of her own free will. Nine times out of ten the girl's downfall is brought ahout by a smooth, deceit ful tongue of a wolf in sheep's clothing, and then she is turned down on every hantl and he is still a "nice young man." Mothers may know their daughters; but it is another thing to trust them with the majority of men or boys without » rtiaiiriniic. So mothers, don't turn your lambs out among the wolves without a shepherd. ONE WHO KNOWS. CHAPEKONE OR NOT, OUR IJVKS ARE THE RESULT OP OUR THOUGHTS Dear Miss Grey: I have read with Interest several arti cles Hlxnit mothers trusting their daughters out alone with their gentlemen friends. My opinion is that if a girl"s mind is right, if her thoughts are pure, they will be backed up by clean conversations, which Is the proof of pure thoughts, then there would be fewer girls Insulted. To go alone is probably more safe "for the future of some girls," as It gives them confidence in their ability to take care of themselves. While with others it would be the cause of their downfall. It is the thoughts that act first, and In most cases it Is r parently the man's mind that is evil; but a woman can think , ist as bad thoughts as a man can. So if a girl will guard her thoughts and think only pure thoughts, she will command respect and will be her own best protector. Men and women both are the result of their own think ing and their lives are sure to be shaped in the image and like ness of their thoughts, either for good or otherwise. BETTERMENT OF THE RACE.

"HAIR THAT GIVES FATHER TIME THE LAUGH" We are just a hunt as old as we LOOK. People judge us, by the way we LOOK. The man or woman with grey hair is beginning to get in the "Old Timer's Class." This Twentieth Century does NOT want GREY hairs—lt wants the energy of youth. The big things are be ing done by the YOUNGER gen eration. There's a sort of "Has Been" look about those "Grey Hairs." There Is always one to •/ tcise and smile scornfully. Father Time Is a stern V cl plinarian. Get tbe best of him. Give him the laugh. Do not be a "Has Been." It's unnecessary.

In a recent interview Dr. Adolf M<'yer, director of the Phelps psychiatric clinic, at Johns Hopkins university, an swered the question. "The public," he said, "is apt to lay too much stress upon heredity. It is not the disease, physical or mental, which is in herited, but the susceptibility to that disease." The state, therefore, he concluded, should not indulge in wholesale interference to prevent marriage of persons not re lated. There are. Dr. Meyer Mlvei, only two grounds which ■warrant state interference —feeblc-mindedness and disease. These, says Dr. Meyer, may be inherited. Feeble-minded people have feeble-minded children. Persona infected with cer tain disease should not be permitted liy the state to perpetrate "the terrible fraud of marriage." Dr. Meyer goes far. Dr. Mark A. Matthews of Seat tle, moderator of the Presbyterian church in Amer ica, goes much farther. "I can best answer the ques tion by telling who shall NOT marry—or, bet ter, whom the state ought to back me up— any person suf fering from ve nereal disease. A man suffer ing from such disease ought to be sterilized, by order of the Or. Matthews court. "I would not marry persons having the taint of tuberculosis. I would not marry persons with the taint of insanity. And I would add, in this connection, that, in these days of high ten sion, we are developing more va rieties of insanity than the ex perts have had time to define.

"I would not marry persons In whose family the divorce habit was strong, for I would know that such persons had not an appre ciation of the binding and sacred tie of matrimony. "The cooirce," continued Dr. Matthews, "of our matrimonial uiiliM]ijiin«'ss is in the home. "Mothers in selecting their sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, take no precautions at all. Why? Because society's standards of values is all wrong. A man may be a physical wreck and a moral degenerate, but if he has a plenti tii'l.' of dollars he is matrimonial ly desirable.

SOME WRETCH STEALS ROPE-OF-PEARLS LASSOO FROM LITTLE PRINCE CHAP OSTEND, Belgium, Oct. 14. — Pity the poor Prlncesa Marguerite of Thurn and Taxis —for she'n ex actly $140,000 poorer than she was when she came to this fam ous bathing place a few tragic weeks ago. Laugh at her, too, if you like — thia titled mamma who sought with ropes of pearls to lassoo a blue blooded beauty for her eldest son. Parading about the fashion able places of Europe with her family Jewel box under one arm and the docile young Prince Fran cois under the other, she flashed the alluring bait before the eyes of all the pretty eligibles. Then along came a clever thief and stole the jewels—but left sonny behind! Now WHO wants sonny with out the glittering glassware? Kcho also enquires, WHO? Xo volunteeresses in sight. The principality of Thurn and Taxis is a neat litle German slate, which governs Itself and leaves its princely house nothing to do but play at the old, obso lete game ot royal idleness. But the jewels of the princely family have long been famous for quan tity and quality. So that was the bait with which mamma princess set out re cently to lure some maid of high degree into the arms of her eld est con, even as did Mephisto phelea lure Marguerite for Faust. Son is 19 and hasn't much lure in his own personality. His name is Francois Joseph Maximilian Maria Antoine Ignace Lamoral, etc., etc. But aa heir of Thu.rn and Taxis he will get the Jewels, with which his princess may daz zle masculine eyes and make en vious feminine hearts. Only a few nibbles had resulted from the wife-flshing expedition when mam ma and Bonny reached Ostend.

Sulphiirro's success In the cure of disease abroad, as well as in its own land, is additional testimony to its' effectiveness as a curative agent in cases of Rheumatism and all blood, stomach and skin dis orders. It has been sent to al most all lui-?!g" rnnnt.rtos. The most recent indorseniort of Sulphurro from abroad comes from C. Dornioy, 28 Rue la Pa roisse, Fontainebleau, Seine and Marne, France. M. Dormoy, who has relirod from active connection with the prominent house of C. Dormoy & H. Naquet, successors to Ed Le Grand, 4-6 Rue d'Hauteville, Paris, was for a long time v suf ferer from Rheumatism. Through a friend, Mr. Bradshaw, member of the wholesale millinery house of Bradahaw Bros., Minneapolis, M. Dormoy learned of Sulphurro, made In far away Seattle. So en thusiastic was his informant over the power of Sulphurro to cure Rheumatism by purifying the blood and driving out the poisons that produce the disease that the retired French business man at once sent for a supply of the medicine, and now writes that he is making wonderful progress to ward complete recovery. A few days ago came a letter from Mr. 8. Guildford, 199 Corn wall Road, Xotting Hill, London, England, praising Sulphurro for its curative effects.
