Sweet Thirteen, Hattertown. Conn.,
Certainly your mother has o RIGHT ia
open your letters for good MANY wears
yet. You must not think that at your
time Of life you can carry on clandes-
tine correspondence with military
school or an entire athletic association.
Your mother acted within the limits
Of her rights under the constitution in
spanking you within an inch of your life
and putting you to bed right after break.

thority is perfect boon. It is a palla-
dunn. Also benson.
You should also return the widower's
ring to him. It is evidently too heavy
for you, and he might need it in a fight.
Truth Seeker, Indianapolis. - You
may thank your escort as you reach the
door Of your own home, but you made

That is not all Twenty-Five cents was
not enough anyway. Of course admire
your independence and can see how you
hate to think that you are indebted to
an entire stranger, especially as he is of
sex so different from your own, but
his return of the money was perfectly
natural, I think.
Bon Joir, Adrian, Mich. A ba-

middle and removing the edible part
with spoon. The peel or outer husk of
the banana is not eaten, but may be

neighboring guest while his attention is
directed toward the pope's retrousse
nose on the turkey. Table manners, in
order to attract attention, should be ac-
curate, however, and never by any means
interrupted by conversation. Should you
get gravy on the blade of your knife
away up near the hilt, you should not
undertake to remove it with the tongue
or insert it without reserve in the mouth,
but keen whistle through the clinched
teeth will bring servant or some passer-
by on the street who will attend to you.
Possibly policeman might answer your
call. 2. I am sorry that you lost your
first, last and only love in such dra.
matte way. It seems to me that if his
love had been of the right sort, when
you came to play his accompaniment and
stir up the cold clay Of the dead rooster
that had crawled into the melodeon and
persisted, he would have overlooked it
and loved you still He might have still
given you his hand in marriage, holding
his nose with the other until help came.
Such man could not have made you
happy, and I rejoice to know that you
got shet of him.
Ignominnie, Tailholt, Ind.-It is the
duty Of the mother to call upon the moth
er Of the young lady to whom her son is
engaged-that is, it is the duty of the
sons mother to call upon the mother Of
the girl to whom the mothers son is en-
gagged, but as you have no mother, your
own mother having accepted an invita-
ton last fall to go to Europe with a kind
hearted roue from town, and you living
with your father, I am satisfied that it
is the duty Of the mother of your intend
ed or financier, as the French call him,
to call upon your father, and the fact
that she is widow Of good reputation
and owning q prosperous tannery and
bed should cut no ice in the
matter, il you will pardon the bluntness
Of scholarly man who wishes to be per-
fectly direct and honest with you.
Patti de Foy Gras, Hickory, N. c.
/. Yes, your handwriting is unique, but it
isnot calculated tocommand large prices
from the magazines. Your idea that lit
erary excellence and Spencerian penman-
ship are synonymous il an error. It
often happens that the most graceful
writer's, as you call them, do not sue
coed in letters. A warm friend of mine,
who went to New York armed with let
ters from me to such mem as Mr.. How
ellis, is now after years Of patient labor
writing addresses ON large packing cases
for store on Twenty -tlird street, and
his friends think that he is engaged in
literary pursuits because he tells them
that his writings go everywhere and
that his life is wholly given up to let
ters. 2. You carried the matter little
too far, Patti, and your artistic tastes
led you to fall down, as it were, when
you skewered the rib roast with your or
hatpin A hatpin may be
used to pick the kernel out of a pecan,
to hold a window up, to drive away
burglar who is under the bed, to pune
ture an Easter egg, to tap a dropsical
friend, to waken one s husband in church,
in eating Strawberries daintily, to Sc
cure rare bug in the field or enc not SO
rare at hotel, to crack ice, to cult
vate corn, to clean typewriting ma
chine, to break steers, to attract the at
tention Of a boil, to butcher turkey, to
repair a fence, to fasten door, to dis
cipline a child, to make a skirt hang
or to start a balky horse, but
when you jabbed it through the roast
you outraged every principle of propriety
and frightened away most desirable
young man. Wherever art and appetite
clash, there you will find woe, there
you will find heartache and redness of
eyes. Iwould not be surprised to know
that you may, as a result of this act, go
