adoption of resolutions similar to those

The action of the two clubs is made
on the initiative of the State Fedora

brought the matter prominently before
all the organizations within it's MEM

to provide a substitute for the general
form of celebrating the Fourth is to

be the aim of the women to have these
affairs so interesting as to engross the

about q certain girl that 1 am losing

Please tell me how I can talk to her as
ether fellows do to the girls they like.
BASHFUL.
You'll get over your shyness. It's
just a phase. You see, you imagine
you're thinking awfully hard about the
girl, when in reality you're thinking a
great deal about yourself. Try paying
attention to some other girl. 1t will
make the first one a little bit jealous,
if she cares for you at all, and this
fact will give you all the self-confidence
you'll ever need.
