HE'S A CLERK IN A STORE.

Dear Margery Doom:
1 am a girl of 10, and am in love with
a young man about three years older
than myself. He is a clerk in a store,
while 1 do not have to work. My folks
think I ought not TO like him or go
out with him, as he is too poor. Please
tell me what to do, also If SIS a week
is too small a salary to marry on.
Thanking you, I am, WORRIED.
You must judge for yourself as to
whether SIS a week would keep a
family of two comfortably. Where one
girl could manage nicely on such a
sum, another would find it impossible.
Be very sure you love this nan before
you decide to marry him. If o really
care for him the fact that he is poor
will make no difference.

HE IS NOT SURE OF HER LOVE.

My Dear Margery Doom:
1 am a man of 80 and in love with a
young girl of Is, whom 1 nave known
since she was very small. 1 have told
her that 1 love her, and she says that
she will marry me in two years, but
somehow or other l cannot make my
self feel sure that she. is really in love
with me. Please tell me what to do, as
I would not make her unhappy for
worlds. d. S. r..
AS long as the marriage will not take
place before the end of two years
think you will have plenty of time to
find out whether or not the girls love
is sincere. / would advise you to take
no action at present. but to wait.

Health and Beauty
For EDev Woman
Brisk Walking a Method TO Reduce Flesh.
Better Than Qaack Medicines and
So-caAed Cures. Declares Madame
AHa-Care of the Hair.
BY MADAME ALTA.

When women who are burdened with
flesh wake up to the fact that it will
take more than quack medicines and
fake treatments to reduce their weight
we will lave a great many more shape
ly women and women who will be
happier in the realization that they are
appearing at their best.
Patent medicines and nostrums have
never yet reduced a persons weight,
cures flooding the market claiming to
work all sorts of wonders for those
for whom they are intended.
Right living, that mean living ac-
cording to the laws of nature, and
sufficient proper exercise will do more
to reduce ~superfluous flesh than any
known remedy.
One of the simplest and most effec-
tive forms of exercise is walking, and
yet how few people resort to walking
as a means to improve their physical
condition. Perhaps it is because walk
ing is within the reach of all, or near
ly all, that SO little value is placed
upon it.
To gain the best results from walk
Ing n must walk properly. A SLOUGH
ing, shutting gait will not do. One
must throw the shoulders pack well
and hold the head erect. This position
will hold the hips and abdomen in
proper position and make walking a
pleasure as well as a benefit. A brisk
walk for about a half hour every day,
using long, rapid strides, will be a boon
to the woman who is too leshy. She
M complain that walking does not
agree with her, hat the exercise is too
violent, but if she begins with short
walks she will soon find that she will
be able to more ground from day
to day, and that she will even be able
to walk at a brisker gait.
In our next talk on health n beauty
we will have something to tell you
about other forms of exercise that will
be beneficial to the woman who is
anxious to reduce her weight without
injuring her health. We will also tell
you of beautiful walks in and around

TALKS AND LAUGHS ALL THE TIME.
Dear Miss Doom:
A girl in my neighborhood came into
my store for the first time the other
day, and began to laugh and talk. /
do not know who she is, but she al
ways smiles, and sometimes she throws
a flower at me-. She also told me that
she loved me and nobody else. When
we meet m the street she always smiles.
I never stopped to talk to her. Please
tell me If it would be all right to dc
so. 1 would like to keep company with
her. S. J.. S.
There would be no harm In your
stopping to talk to her, since she made
the first advances. AS for keeping
company, that is a matter which you
will have to settle with her personally,
but it will be wise for you to wait
until you know her a little better be-
fore declaring your affections.

Do not let it remain long enough to

are wholly separated, place all in the
cheesecloth bag and let drain. Place
the cheese in a bowl and work through
it enough salt and melted butter to
season 1t, but do not add pepper until
1t is done, then sprinkle it on the top,
or the black spots will look unattrac-
tive through the cheese. After making
add enough cream to make it smooth
and light. ? 1t is a delicious delicacy
when properly made, though it calls
for butter and sweet or sour cream to
give 1t the rich flavor.

CHAPTER LII.


l was comfortably settled
wv in the prison, and knew exactly
what l owed, l thought it my
duty to my father to give him the first
chance of getting me out. His answer
to my letter contained a quotation from
Shakespeare OF the subject of thank
less children, but no remittance of
money, After that, my only course
was to employ a lawyer and be declared
a bankrupt. l was most uncivilly
treated, and remanded two or three
times. When everything l possessed
had been sold for the benefit of my
creditors, l was reprimanded and let
out. 1t is pleasant to think that, even
then, my faith in myself and in human
nature was still not shaken.
About ten days before my liberation
1 was thunderstruck at receiving a
visit from my sisters mahogany-col-
ored husband, Mr.. Batterbury. When
/ was respectfully settled at home,
this gentleman would not so much as
look at me without a frown; and now,
when l was a scamp in prison, he
mercifully and fraternally came to con-
dole with me on my misfortunes. A
little ~dexterous questioning disclosed
the secret of this prodigious change in
our relations toward each other, and
informed me of a family event which
altered my position toward my sister
in the most whimsical manner
While I was being removed to the
bankruptcy court, my uncle in the soap
and candle trade was being removed to
the other world. His Will took no no
tice of my father or my mother, but
he left to my sister always supposed
to be his favorite in the family) a most
extraordinary legacy of possible pin
money, in the shape of a contingent re-
version to the sum of three thousand
pounds, payable on the death of Lady
Malkinshaw, provided I survived her.

Dear Madame Alta:
Kindly let me know what to do to
improve my hair.
The ends of the hair is light brown
and near the scalp 1t Is much darker.
Would like to make it all either shade.
Thanking you for your kind advice.
M. NJ.
The dark color near the scalp is due
to the oil in the hair, and is a per-
fectly natural and healthy condition.
Hundreds of people would be glad to
have a natural supply of oil in the
hair, as this is necessary if you would
have good healthy hair. 1t stands to
reason that the ends would be lighter,
as the oil does not flow clear to the
ends of the hair. 1 would not advise
you to use anything to dry out the
oil, but If you wish to you can use a
Tablespoonful of borax in the water
when you shampoo you hair. This
will have a tendency to dry the hair
and counterfeit the oily condition.
Dear Madame Alta:
Will you please let me know through
THE EVENING STAR what would
cure an oily skin. My skin is good,
only very oily. Also what is good for
a red nose. Thanking o in advance
and looking for your reply. M. B.
Wash your face well night and morn
ing with hot water and CASTLE soap,
using a camels-hair brush to scrub
with. Rinse we'll with cold water, and
lastly battle gently with rose water.
Eat plenty of vegetables, such as
crosses, lettuce, dandelion and spinach.
Use less potatoes, fresh bread, pastry
and meats for a little while and see If
you will not notice an improvement. A
red nose might come from several
causes. For instance, indigestion or
wearing tight clothing. Tight waist
bands, collarbands or tight shoes will
stop the circulation, and the first place
it will show is in ones nose. Wear
comfortable clothing and see tina your
digestion is good and 1 think your nose
will be improved.
