helping her to do up her work.
8. It is proper to accept nickel or any
small piece of money from q gentleman
friend to put in the plate at church, and
to refuse it would be extremely rude
and vulgar. Do not try to be too self
reliant in this way and then err in
some more important matter. had q
young woman acquaintance once who
insisted on paying for postage stamp
that gave her, and yet she borrowed
a valuable book worth $35 20 years ago

it.
"Daisy Bell" Whatcom, WASH,
says: ''My father and mother approve
of my marriage with young man Of
whom I am passionately fond, but have
an older brother who objects bitterly to
the match. Nearly six months ago my
parents both gave their consent to my
marriage to Walter. What shonld do?"
Well, Daisy, if stood in the position
which you occupy, would get Walters
consent and proceed to t'play ball. -
''Valerian,'' st. Augustine, Fla,
writes, 'What is the proper method
for eating cheese?''
You should toy with it as though you
did not care much for it, and then while
your hostess is looking at some other
guest slide it into your mouth. A very
good way is to cut it on the plate and
spread it on the bread. Much, of course,
depends upon the variety of cheese used.
Some cheese used lately in the best cir
cles is passed to the guests cut in small
squares, together with little individual
silver clothespins to put on the nose.
After you have received your cheese,
however, the rule is to put it out of its
misery as soon as possible
Kathleen Mavourneen, Star Prairie,
Wis, writes: II have broken off my
engagement with Sylvester. young
man who has kept Co with me for 60
ing on two years. presume it is partly
my fault, but wish to refer it to you.
He is rather a quick tempered man, and
once when he did not think was look
ing called my little dog to him, say
ing, Here, Tige; here, Tige, and coax
ing it to him, when all at once he haul
ed off, and saying, There, how do you
like that, you fyste? he kick

force Of his being. : .>.~.
II was mp stairs dressing at the time
and saw all this below in the back yard
from my chamber window, and, just as
was, told him never to look at me
again. He looked up moment, with q
twinkle in his eye, and said he guessed
he didn't care to if that was the way I
looked without my boughten hair.
''He then drifted slowly out Of my
life. knocking the poor little Mary
Goulds galley west with his cane as he
went. afterward learned that he did
it ON purpose to startle me and not be-
cause he treasured ill feeling toward
Tige. E4
-"What should do?
II have carnelian ring of his and
q silver one that he made himself out
Of a of a s. was making pair Of
yarn mitts to hang on the tree next win
ter for him. Would you finish the mitts
for him and send back the rings? The
latter am afraid that cannot get off,
as my hands has grown good deal this
summer, for have had to do the milk
ing.
II hate like everything to give him
up, and yet you see what hole I am
in. do not care to compromise myself
with him, and yet would rather have
his love than whole fair ground full
Of dogs. In fact, I have since that more
than once kicked the measly old pup
myself because he seems to stand be-

'What should do?''
It is very difficult to come in between
two estranged and icy hearts, both claim
