One among many of my girls, says the
! Ladies Home Journal, begins her letter 10
me in this way: 81 am in need OF advice"
and because there are SO many who seemfn
the same sad predicament choose to an
swer her on this page. My dear girl, no
| man of honor ever continually visited
| girl, talked Of love and yet said that be did
not think of marriage. II he docs not think
Of marriage he ought not to whisper OF love,
and the sooner your Acquaintance with him
ceases the better it will be for you. The
man you expect TO love should expect TO
make you his wife, and you cannot afford
to listen TO protestations of never-dying

What is the matter with the menu says
New York letter. Last year the complaint
was that they would not da zee, ana that
they stood around the ballroom and grinned

The increasing expense ate ldant upon
the escortage Of a young lady TO a ball or
party has, 1t is limited, become terror to
the average dude, and with the very best
of reasons. The attendant expenses have,

approximate TO colossal. Gussy ana Cholly
! are willing to spend the money. but they

What we evidently want in New York
