She Said she'd Marry Him.

Dear Miss Doom:
l am a girl Of Is. My father and
mother both died when I was young. 1
have known q young man for a good
many years, as we both lived In the
same house. He has asked me to
marry him and says he would give me
a good home. l am willing to marry
him. Please give me your advice. My
mother was married at my age. Please
answer in this weeks STAR, as I am
to give my answer to him Sunday.
M. r. s.
Why ask my advice II you intend to
marry him? Are you not sure that you
care for him? A girl OF Is ought to be
very sure that she knows her own mind
before promising to marry. If you are
even a little uncertain I would advise
o to tell him so, and ask him to give

What is your theory, them"
well, my theory is that he followed
Drebber as far as the Brixton road.
When there, a fresh altercation arose
between them, In the course of which
Drebber received a blow from the stick,
In the pit of the stomach, perhaps,
which killed him without leaving any
mark. The night was SO wet that no
one was about, so Charpentier dragged
the body of his victim into the empty
house. AS to the candle, and the blood,
and the writing on the wall, and the
ring, they may all be sc many tricks
to throw the police on the wrong

For chilblains rub on witch-hazel.
This Is also excellent for pains in the
joints, poor circulation or stiffness.
A baby's eyelashes can be clipped to
induce the growth, but after earliest
childhood that method is inadvisable,
as the lashes may not grow a second
time.
Do not drink hot coffee Immediately
after eating ice cream If you value the
eramel on your teeth, also do not ac-
quire the thread-biting habit or try to
