At first he fascinated me. I used to turn him on
every morning while 1 was taking my bath, and he
would talk away from the time I got into the tub
until I got out. Then I would move him into my
boudoir and permit him to rattle on while I had
breakfast in bed. I never got tired of hearing that
man talk; in fact, I believe I fell in love with him.
And here's a secret never before made public—per-
haps these lessons had something to do with my
ultimate marriage to a man of French descent. My
husband's voice was so much like the one in the

GUARDING THE YOUNG.
The dangers of the "restless age" were pointed
out by the Aldrich-Howey Co., Cleveland, O., last
week and a precaution suggested to wise parents.
This was saidi "Keep the young folks at home."
Children in the restless age—that tremendously
critical period when the character and habits of a
lifetime are being formed—crave amusement and
pleasure. Wise parents realize that youth must and
will find an outlet for its super-abundance of spirit
and vitality. They also realize the importance of
keeping youth at this stage of development under
their watchful care. The home is the ideal place.
Of course the part of the talking machine in the pre-
cautionary scheme was fully set forth by the com-
pany.
