ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

JININA.-You ere quite right. There is
polite society in Dodge City, ard many Of
cur cilissns have 6ne concep,ioDs Of polite
ne>s The ntams, thing in pcliisnsss is 10

LIzzrE.-We don't understand the cult
nary art. and cannot answer your question.
We think creased rag sn,wsrsthe purposs
on the gridiron. A bacon riod IL common
y used in The country where bacon grows.
A pigs tail has no element Of fsi. II isths
pis's ornsmeni, and is Is much to him a.

'ien Of the deiiva ion Of the word "srauky."

grspher, ty his father, when the former was
a yourgs er, and was owing to the cranky
nature Of the boy developed while turning

BILE mesni' g and use.
FLOYD "A stolen kiss i said to be sweet
est. But j, Is 90 long since We induleed in
this oeculatory e1quisitoer that Ne quite
forget the ray Of pleasure you imssine. A
ki-s in the dark is also said to have peculiar
chsrms. A ties in the preeence of Others
has not the sweeinsss Of kiss 10 s1li ude.
The Imagination Of il nectar loyliness i'm.
presses you 90 much that you conceive !. to
be the fountain Of csndy Stop. Take that
imagination away, and the lips are I'D.
You would be - veil saiisfied with mouth

JENNY We dislike bangs. All abeurd
fsshicn. come from . class Of people that
re would not ke to follow in other respects.
Why We should initiate them in fa.hi. rs Of
our head ornaments vs cannot say. Barss
like the introduction OF criDoliBe, were
adopted to hide f-c'a A yourg lady Who
has 6ne f4rehs ad should not "bsns" her
hair, and "bang" her trovs with the "bang-."
A "bang'd' head presents = ffiehifui sp-
pearance to our vision. There il . simple
idio'ic expression 10 the bang. The !, sane
practice OF y s,isg bangs should ce~~.
WnLIAx.-A yourg lady who oij.cied
10 your company 10 the ihs a,re. bscsuse .he
vas mot your 6rst choice 10 the invitation,
shows remarkable eel6shDess, and has .
temper Of jealou.y. The 6rss lady COLD
not accept your invitation bscsuse ,he was
previously engaged. The second lidy did
not appreciate your offer, and you are .,
liberty 10 cut her scpusin,ance. We have
no doubt she will be glad rome day 10 &C.
eept vidover % . Husband, and that would
be m excellent first choices foe her. She
would be sgt to warm him over and make
him % good % nee.
MALIxDA.-Mock marriages are quite
common. The introduction Of . mock mar
riage Ceremony in youthful assembly some
times leads to awful resulss-the parties
have unsittinsly BEEN woven in the msiri
mooial web for kseYs. Il i true, some
marriage turn ont to be mockesir, and this
ID no reason Why the solemn affair should
be Knocked. Marriage enters the head Ct
The young a. we'll 40 the ssrd. There is
youth 4 yeap old, on our s;rest, Who has in
vited u to his marriage. He bss no idea
Of the marriage vow, but you can im'gioe
how be GOT the idea into hs bead. Children
sre great initators, AID souetines tell more
than they bear.
