IKE'a young mother hen with her Lm first chick, the New Bride was hov erlng about her husband as he donned coat and hat for the office. "Do wear your overshoes," she cau1 tioned; "it looks like rain." The New Husband protested. "Oh, yes," insisted the New Bride. "You may catch cold. And take an umbrella." "Heavens! You might think we were expecting the deluge." "But you don't want to get soaking wet. Are you wearing your heavy overcoat?" "Yes," and rather than argue further, he took the umbrella. But as he went through the vestibule he kicked off the overshoes and stuck the umbrella in a corner. "Alison coddles me as if I were a baby, or as if I hadn't sense enough to take care of myself," he thought a bit impatiently, as he went out. His mind reverted to the break fast where she had insisted upon his drinking two cups of coffee, when he only, wanted one. and to last nig.it s dinner, where she had prevailed upon him to eat weu-aone Deui insieaa oi i rare, and to various other occasions! NEW SATIN HAT IS TRIMMED WITH LARGE WINGS. One of the most striking of the advance Spring styles yet received is a charming chapeau by Madeline Lechat, The model Is of satin, trimmed with gray, this model would be delightful. where her personality had been dom inant; and as he thought, the contrac tion of his brows deepened. "She means well. But Jove, a fellow don't want to be run entirely. He wants a little chance to do as ho pleases." All the way to the office he brooded over the unexpected trait in Alison's charac ter. ' Alison, too, was doing a little think ing. She had discovered the overshoes and umbrella in the vestibule, and for a minute she was both hurt and troubled; hurt that Jolm had so plainly refused to heed her suggestions, and troubled for fear that he would suffer thereby. t But Alison was not obtuse. Neither had the trait of dominating become as yet like granite in her character. She sat down and did a little bit of thinking. "I have a way," she admit ted to herself, "of wanting everyone to do as I wish. I always seem to think my way is better than theirs. To be sure, and she had to langh to herself, "I do think it is better. But perhaps people would rather have their own way once in a while, even though they suffer by it. And anyway," she con cluded, philosophically, "they learn more that way than by always being directed." She arose from her brown study determined, hereafter, not to in terfere too much with John. As for John, he -had pondered, off and on. during the day, upon the same problem. He came home to dinner, smiling a bit to himself over a plan he had in his mind. "Let me give you another plate of soup," he said to Alison, as she fin ished her puree. "I don't care for any more." "Oh. yes, you ought to eat another plateful. It is awfully good. You don't Where tbe Wife la Older. RECENTLY I printed a letter from a woman who had married a man years her junior. She claimed she had made a failure of life because of the disparity in age. In today's mall I re ceived the following interesting com munication in defense of marrying for companionship regardless of age. "I do not agree with the writer of the letter which appeared in your col umns recently, claiming the folly of marrying a man younger than your self. "Your correspondent wrote that she is pretty and found it necessary to spend much time trying to retain her beauty to hold her husband's love; that she has been forced to give up her own friends and her own opinions rather than have her husband think her old. "I know it is generally supposed that the man should be the older of the two, but my husband was 21 and I 26 when we married. I am not pretty and have not given up my friends or my opin ions or my individuality. My husband and I are companions. When any prob lem is being discussed he expects me to express my own ideas. I do not worry about being pretty. 1 spend my leisure moments thinking and planning com fort for my husband. I believe that if a wife be neat and keep the home pleasant she need never worry about her husband caring that she is older than he. I have been married longer than your correspondent and our mar ried life has been one honeymoon. And we intend to keep It so! "If any girl were to come to me and ask my advice I should say married life CALENDAR FOB TODAY. Society.

"But I don't want any more," she protested. "Eat it anyway," insisted John. "Do you know," he went on, "I think you must be chilly. I'll get you a little wrap." He stepped into the hall, se cured a small knit scarf and threw it over her shoulders. "What in the world is the matter with you?" asked Alison, her eyes big with amazement. "I'm roasting now." And she impatiently threw the scarf in a chair. "This meat is entirely too well done for you. You ought to eat it rare." He rang the bell for the cook. "Broil Mrs. Andrews a piece of steak quite rare, please." "Why, John, are you crazy?" asked Alison, fearful for the first time that perhaps John had been drinking. John couldn't keep up the farce longer. He began to laugh. "No, dear, but I was just thinking about taose overshoes and that umbrella this morn ing." Alison had the good sense and tact to join in the laugh. "I've been thinking about them, too," she admitted. "I know what you mean. I am going to try to break myself of that habit." J'You are a wise little woman," said John, when they rose from the table. "There is a difference, you know," he went on, as he slipped his arm about her waist, "between giving advice when it is asked for, and arbitrarily ruling another. No one wants his right to express his individuality taken from him." "I'll never say overshoes or umbrella again," laughed Alison. "And I'll take both tomorrow, though the sun is shining," affirmed John, kissing her. Is exactly what you make It. It de pends on yourself. If you are conge nial age makes no difference. Be a companion to your husband. Make your house a home and you will not need to worry. There could not be a happier couple than my husband and I. I am positive of that. After all, it is not physical beauty that holds a hus band. It is congeniality, companion ship, and a sympathetic interest in his interests, and a willingness to assume your share in the making of a home." He Asked Her to Marry Him. "Dear Miss Blake: I am 18 and am In love with a young man of 21. He has asked me to marry him, but he has never told me he loved me. Now, should I marry him or shouldn't I? "MADGE." The young man must love you or he would not ask you to marry him. If you love him marry him. Ia He Self Ink t "uear miss Elake: I am a young girl of 16. I have been going with a boy for aome tim who is two years my senior. He seems to care more for another girl, but gets sore if I go with another fellow. Don't you think he Is a little selfish? He has always been very nice to me and I hate to give him up. Your advice would be very much appreciated. DOT." Indeed I do think he is selfish. He has no right to have any objection to your receiving attentions from other young men. Looks at Her Queerly. "Dear Miss Blake: I am a pretty young girl of 17 and I feel the need of your advice. I came to the city a year ago, and in the office where 1 started work there was a young man who was very good looking and kind to me After a week he came and called on me, and I have been keeping steady com pany with him ever since. I love him and he loves me, but we are not en gaged. One night I foolishly let him take my hand and he kissed roe. I re proached him and said it was not right He thought I did not love him any more, and left before I could stop him. That was two weeks ago, and I have not met him since. In the office he looks at me very queerly. Now tell me how to make him come back, for I love him dearly, and it would break my heart to lose his love. ROSEBUD." The young man surely could not have loved you sincerely or he would not have allowed the incident to break his friendship with you. He respects you for your reserve and he will soon re turn t you I am sure. Somehhow She Can't Believe Him. "Dear Miss Blake: I am a young girl of 19 and I am very much in love with a young man and he tells me that he loves me. But somehow I ean't be lieve him, although he treats me nice and Is with me every chance he gets. But I don't know what makes me doubt his word. I wish I didn't and I want you to tell me how I should act to win his love and affections, for I love him dearly and I feel like I could not love another. But I do not want him to think that I love him. NELL." You must be a very hard person to suit NelL What more could you ask of a young man? Do not doubt his love and do not be afraid to show your affection for him. Seems to Be Drifting Away. "Dear Miss Blake: I have a very near and dear sweetheart who has been keeping company with me for three or four years and my whole heart and soul are wrapped up in him. but of late he seems to be drifting away from me. He has always and at all times pro fessed the most ardent love and affec tion for me, but of late he has been making dates with me and breaking them without regard to my feelings. We live between his work and his home, tut lately he has been going around on another street and out of his way to keep from passing our house. This is costing me many sleepless nights, and many, many sad heart aches. Do you suppose that there could possibly be another girl in it? AGNES. X am afraid that there is another girl In his life. Ask him sincerely about It He will tell you if you ask him in the right way. It would be far better for you to know that he does not love you. than to go on having sleepless nights and sad heartaches. jDivoreedZife (Copyright The Adams Newspaper Series.) Frank's Remorse. THE wistful entreaties of her for mer husband induced Marian to accompany him into the parlor of an out-of-the-way hotel for the interview he implored. Strange sensations ran through the divorced wife as she did as Frank requested. The past and its two years of Intimate association with him rose before her with a multitude of forgotten details. "It's absurd for us to be together here," she said uncomfortably, seating herself in a shabby chair. "It's much more absurd for us to be separated, Marian," returned Frank soberly. "It's impossible. Why can't we get together and start all over again? Marian shook her head hopelessly, without replying. "I've had enough time for reflec-- tion," he continued, "to realize now that I was to blame for nearly every thing. I realize now how mean and ugly I was at times. I wasn't man enough to know how to stand up un der responsibility. -The tangle of finances made me irritable. But if you'll Just give me another chance I'm certain I can do much better. The jolt of this divorce has opened my eyes. You'll find me a very different man, dear." He. paused, but again she did not reply, but gazed out into the cold thoroughfare. "I love you more now than I ever loved you before," he continued. "I miss you awfully. The world seems empty to me. I'd give anything to be able to recall the things I did and said that hurt you. I can't stand It to think of your knocking around In the world, trying; to make your way. Won't you come back to me and begin all over again T" "It wouldn't be right," answered Marian. "I'm sorry you feel this way about it But you're Just finding it a little hard to break the habit of being my husband. You'll get over it" "That's a pretty brutal way of put ting it," protested Frank. "Its the truth," sne saia quietly. You also seem to forget that I don't love you." "I'll be good to you. I ll make you love me." "You couldn't, she said without pity. "I've told you that I never real ly did love you. I married you be cause I was afraid to face the world and make my way. I tried to tell you so at the time, but you wouldn't listen. You wouldn't believe me. Can't a man see that just because he loves a wom an it doeen t necessarily maxe ner love him? If I went back to you now It would be only through cowardice rank and contemptible cowardice. You wouldn't want me on that basis." "I want you on any basis! he an swered desperately. "That's not complimentary," Te- torted Marian. "But I guess it's a man's view. He wants what he wants when he wants it. No," she added. we've got to look facts In the face and be sensible. I'm glad we quit be fore the babit of being married got too strong a grip on us both. It was the most brave and honest thing I ever did in my life."

WRITES: "I am a subscriber to The Oregonian and read with pleas ure and profit your articles contributed to that paper. I have a subject upon which I would like very much to have you write if you think it proper and And it convenient. "I am interested in knowing -something of the condition of what is called arterio-sclerosls and whether it is likely to cause enlargement of the heart and something ot how dropsy may result from It. "Is there any special treatment or diet by which it is affected and is there any medical treatment which Is ef fective? "I was much interested in a former article of yours touchlng'npon a simi lar topic, but the article did not exactly cover the Information which 1 wish." Reply. 1. Arterio-sclerorls is a degenera tive change that takes place in the ar teries of the body, especially involving the small arteries in the various or gans, as the kidneys, the heart and the kings. The cause of this condition summarized briefly ia the irritating ef fect of poison circulating in the blood. The degenerative change consists of a replacing of the elastic muscular tis sue in the vessel wall with conneotlve tissue and lime deposits. This change deprives the vessel of its elasticity, which is very necessary to a free and healthy circulation. As the artery be comes less elastic the caliber Is reduced and so In order for the usual amount of blood to reach a part the heart has to work with more power to force It through. This extra work causes the heart to enlarge to take care ot the ex tra burden. With more resistance in the small arteries and a heart bumping with more force, and less elasticity In the vessels, the blood pressure increases with the arterio-sclerosls. Dropsy is not likely to result from this condition until the heart becomes weakened and is not able to force the blood through the small arteries and capillaries. Dropsy always means in sufficient heart force and obstruction. If there is not enough power to keep the blood circulating in the vessels, then the serum or watery parts of the blood leak out Into the tissues and cause the swelling, which will always put on pressure. 2. Yes. A non-stimulating diet. Any one with arterio-sclerosls should be a vegetarian, with a low protein diet. Little If any meat, no meat broths, no extracts, avoiding condiments, vinegar, tea, coffee, alcohol, tobacco and other excitants and excitement.
