That Boy of Yours
If this picture could bo made true to life in every American home; if tlie
attitude of this father toward his son should become the attitude toward all
sons, a weighty problem would he solvtd.
The boy's face is unmarked by evil thoughts or evil deeds. His clear young
mind is prepared to absorb all with which it comes iv contact. Soon he will go
out in the world and will find evils there that he does not now know exist.
It is the wise father who realizes tliis and who says, as the father in the pic
ture says:
"If you get into trouble, I want you to tell me. Never lie to your daddy."
Tlie earnest look on the father's l;n-e shows how deeply he feels what he is
saying. The boy must know and be glad that in the heart of this strong man a
big place has been reserved for him. Whatever comes in future years, he al
ways will remember that his father said:
"I want you to know that your dad is your friend."
The bond of sympathy thus established between this father and son works
two ways: It will have a lasting Influence for good upon the hoy. And the
father who feels that he has become I model for his sou is not likely to go far
wrong.
Modern Pageantry
When the circus conies to town, we all go to see the parade. To be sure,
■ome of us go on crutches, and some aie wheeled in baby cabs; some stand on
the curb while others sit in autos; nevertheless, we are never more united as a
community, never more democratic, titan when we watch the gilded chariots
and the elephants go by.
Yes, we all like each other very much indeed, at a circus parade. Human
beings always get along well together if everybody's happy.
The ancients knew this, so their generals who were anihitious to be emper
ors, headed great "triumphs" or spectacular processions when they returned
as conquerors from war. And so pageaits were popular in Europe for centries.
Now pageants have" been revived —very much so. Twenty-two of them
were scheduled in this country for the first half of JOl6. Most of them were city
celebrations of some local anniversary. However they ma\ r have varied in
purpose, they have produced one desirable result —they have united the rich
and the poor, the old and the young, in common joy and enthusiasm.
Tacoma with its great Stadium setting is about to stage two or three am
bitious undertaking of the kind.
Whenever we get real discouraged about "hyphens" and the "assimila
tion of the immigrant," and the other forms of social welding required for suc
cessful preparedness, we like to dwell on the circus parade and the pageant.
They are great agents in the cause of democracy. Though the people of a town
Bpeak 40 different tongues, laughter aud the shout of joy make a language
which everybody understands.
Twice Poisoned
Yuan Shi Kai, China's dead president, was a great man, hut only a man.
Like most men who acquire much, he reached for all. The presidency of a
great country wasn't enough, ami Kai made the mistake of believing that
what sycophants wanted was what the people wanted.
George Washington had the same chance to make an ass of himself, but
didn't.
Yuan was probably twice poisoned. Those around him poisoned his mind
with ambition to be a monarch and some republican on the outside sneaked in
to his kitchen and poisoned his body.
- For Worry-Hunters
If you can't work up "the blues" over the hordes of foreignei-s who are
said to be coming into our midst, after tlie war, you might join certain wise
ones who see calamity in a mighty exodus of American tourists to Europe,
when peace arrives.
These tourists are accustomed to spend some $100,000,000 of good Ameri
can money abroad every year. They will have at least two years' savings On
band and the attractions.in Europe will be greater than ever before.

Q. —I am a girl 20, and
very much In love with a fine
young man of IS. I have
known him almost two years
and we often meet at dances.
I should like to have his
steady company; but he does
not even know I care for
him. Under these circum
stances do you think it would
be wrong to let him know iv
somo way that I care for
hi in. T. S.
A.—You have probably showed
In a iiiiiiibei of little waya un
consciously that you care for the
man. Ry making an effort to re
veal this to him you would ouly
appeal' ridiculous In his eyes. Bet
ter t-is-p on the safe side of the
fence and lot him make the ad
vances.
Q. —I am coming to you
for help as so many are do
ing. lam married to a man
who la untrue to me. I have
put up with It for years be
ta use we have a child, but
my patience is exhausted. I
want a divorce. How shall I
go about it? I am not at
tractive and have tried being
good to him just because 1
am his wife. Y. P.
A.—There isn't a judge in the
whole country nliu would hesi
tate in sever such dLsagreeablo
ties. Consult a reliable attorney,
who will file your -.ml in court.
Poor, misguided man, who fig
ures that "possession is nine
points of the law!" Poor mis
taken man, who is "too sure" uf
his wife and child and home!
When he tires of the world's friv
olities what an awakening Will be
his!
Confessions ofa Wife
AM 1 (a:TTIX(J OVER
LOVING] DICK?
It is aitonishlng, little book,
how the mere act of writing that
letter to Malcolm Sfkart has
changed my outlook.
Thai is it. It is now an out
look and for many, many months
it has been an "inloctk." I have
had nothing to think about ex
cept Margie Waverly, and. truly
her experience s have loomed
large.
Now I am going to take the af
fairs of Alice under my wing, If
she will let me.
This morning Pat came to see
mo, but man-like, he did not say
one word directly about Alice's
terrible tragedy.
The one thing he did say, how
ever, that touched me deeply was
that Alice bad said she would not
think of leaving tne antll after
the Vienna specialist had been
here, and If I had to have an op
eration she wanted to nurse mo
through it.
Then he hesitated a minute
and said, "Alice loves you very
much, Margie."
' My dear Pat," 1 don't think
she loves me any more than 1
love her. Try to imagine what
my life would have been for the
last year if it had not been tor
her gentle ministrations, not
only to my body, but to my soul.
"Pat, 1 think Alice is a woman
in a thousand. 1 am proud to
call her my friend. She is not
only worthy of but, to my mind,
vastly superior to any man 1
know, including you. She will
make up to you for all the sor
row you have had with your
loves up to date."
And then I'at said a surprising
thing.
"Why, Margie, I've never been
in love before, never known
what the word meant."
I could not help smiling a lit
tle, for that was so Ilka a man.
Pat had put ills former loves Into
that convenient "forgettery" of
his and they were as though they
had never been.
Men always think the last love
is the only lo\e. I wonder if you
remember, little book, that even
the great lovers, Heine and
(loesthe, never remembered the
fair ones they had loved but only
the ones they were loving at the
time.
George Ellott. being a wiyaan.
was more honest. She frtnklv
said after the death of Lewe* ami
her marriage, "Why Is it th» tho
poets and writers say so much
about first love and nothing abouj
any that comes after?"
How one's mind changes, Jlttlq
book! If anyone said to me at the
moment I shut the book-of-my
girlhood that I would ever have
harbored the slightest thought of
ever loving anyone but Drek I
would have been horrified and in
sulted, but today I know that'
there can be a much more pas
sionate and tender feeling ip a
woman's heart than I fa<j|jro
Dick—thaa I have ever felt Tor
Dick. jmtA.
It almost seems to fflP"as
though our marriage was a mis
take, and, little book, when.elther
husband or wife begins to sense
that, one may aa well own up that
the end Is in sight.
I have not seen Dick since the
evening he came in for a moment
on his way to keep the telephone
engagement. He evidently has
put in a standing order at the
florist's. Three times a week 1
gat beautiful flowers.
At first there used to be a card
with the word "Dick" on it
Q. —I am writing you a
few lines as I have no one to
talk to on the question of
which I am In doubt.
I have no home and have
worked in a store for a long
time. I have never had a
chance to cook, so I decided
to. do housework where the
woman teaches me how to
cook. Just lately I met a
in* c young man of whom 1
am very fond, who lives In
another city. lam afraid if
he knew I am doing house
work he would not care for
my company as he thinks I
am staying with friends.
Please do not overlook this
letter as I am depending so
much on your answer. lam
so lonesome. My girl friends
won't go with me because
they think housework is a
disgrace; but I don't know
how else to learn. 2Z.
A.—lf housework IS a disgrace
then it is a disgrace to live in a
ctvlll/.ed milliner, for as long as
(here are houses there must be
housework. If all of tho Kir's
aspired to ho stenographers or all
of the boys business men wouldn't
things lie in a nice mix-up? It Is
no more a disgrace to do houses,
work for a living than it is to
[><Hind a typewriter.
Any sensible young man would
admire you for taking the only
im-.ii.- of learning the most im
portant of all work—home-keep
ing. As for your "aristocratic"
girl friends (?), tliey are not
worth l>ot Bering about. Some
day you will meet people who are
REAL people and who are worthy
to bo called friends.
among them, but now there Is not
even that.
I called him up today and told
him it seemed a useless extra
gunce to have the florist send
them to me when there were so
many buutiful flowers in the
Selwin garden.
"Uon't you want them, Mar
gie?" he asked. "I thought you
loved flowers."
"I do," I answered, "but It
rather seems like 'bringing coals
to Newcastle' just now, doesn't
it?"
"I had not thought of that,"
was his observation. "I will or
der the florist to discontinue
them."
I wanted to say, "that Is just
the reason why I don't want them,
Dick. Just because you have
never thought about them except
to give the order and let tho flor
ist do the rest."
"Will you stop in a moment
tonight, Dick?" 1 asked. "I have
something I think i« quite impor
tant to tell you."
"Can't It wait until tomorrow,
Margie? I am going out In the
country to spend the night with
an old friend I have not seen for
years."
"Quite as well, Dick, and I hope
you will have a good time."
Before he could say more I
hung up the receiver.
Isn't It strange, I don't feel
hurt about it?

HERE'S HOW
THEY DID IT
Miss Wickersham was the first
person to bring to Tho Times a
solution of the democratic con
vention puzzle printed yesterday.
Herg was slightly different
from the one furnished by Sam
Mind, the puzzle author.
The problem was to trace the
paths taken by President Wilson,
Champ Clark and William Jen
nings Bryan so that Wilson
should leave the lobby by exit A,
Clark by exit B and Bryan by
exit C, without any of their paths
crossing.
