CYNTHIA >GREYS
CORRESPONDENTS

Dear Miss Grey: / admire a
young man whom have gone out
with several times, but he has new
er called at my home. Not long
ago he invited me to go with him,
and l was compelled to refuse.
Since then he has not invited me
out, although l feel sure that he
cares for me. How can / get him
back without seeming too anxious?
ANXIOUS.
A.-As l look at it, he must
think you are queer sort of girl
to go out with Elm without having
first asked him to call at your
home to meet your parents. Per-
haps that's the trouble. Invite
him to call. If he does not ac-
cept, you will be sure he cares
nothing for you. Let the matter
rest there, for men seldom like to
have girls do the wooing.
Dear Miss Grey: I am an old
man and have been married 80
years. / love my wife, but she
no longer cares for me-she cares
more for the company of young
people than for mine, no matter
how much try to please her. How
shall l act in this matter
A HERMIT.
A.-Never admit you're old.
You have allowed your heart to
grow old while your wife has
wisely kept hers young-that's
the whole trouble! Enter with
your wife into the enjoyment of
young peoples society. You'll
soon be having just as good time
as she does, and you will find
that your mutual happiness will
bring you closer together.
Dear Miss Grey: What would
be nice to serve for refreshme nts
Sunday evening to a crowd?
L. B.
A.-Cocoa or tea, olives or
pickles, sandwiches and a dainty
salad. If you wish to serve an
other course add a sherbet or fruit
and cake.
Dear Miss Grey: Cd Please
tell me how to obtain employment
at summer hotel. ca A young
man from out of town is coming
to visit me. Is it necessary that /
ask him to stay at my home?
MARY B.
A.-(D Apply by letter to the
manager of the hotel in which you
wish to work.
)2) No, but it would be a nice
little attention on your part to
invite him to dinner or luncheon
during his stay.

IN THE AEROPLANE
by A. NJ. Perkerson.

Millicent stood against the bal
cony of the aeroplane tower and
gszed languidly at the stretch of
country laid before her. The dome
of the capitol and Washington's
monument could be seen off to
the right, and she could catch a
glimpse of the Potomac.

about her. You are so gloomy"
she protested.

Leaning over, he pulled a lever,
the engine hummed briskly, and
the aeroplane slid smoothly from
the tower. 1t dipped downward
and flew away on a straight line.
Below them an automobile crawl
ed over smooth road.
And you're really going away
next week." he asked abruptly.
She looked at him with an an
noyed frown. I've told you yes
a hundred times, Billy"
But won't you give me some
hope before you go?" he begged
Wont you tell me there's a
chance? Won't you give me some
thing to live on?"
Please" she interrupted frig-
idly. please don't begin that all
over again. refuse positively to
discuss II any more"
Billy Van Clever sat up and
squared his shoulders. Every

He sternly regarded the purring
engine before him. THE trouble
is. though" he added that you
are using me selfishly. You are
pleased to have me as an attentive
admirer who makes things pleas
ant for you, and you want to
keep me so. You won't consider
how II matters to me. You are
only thinking that things are
pleasant enough as they are and
that II would be pity to change
them"
She gripped the light aluminium
railing tightly and gave an angry
gaSp. Il don't think there's need
of your saying any more" she in

drop me az the Courtlands. I don't

Billy turned pleadingly to her.

said ieily.

KEEP DOWN THE COST

In this day of sky-high food
prices one might suggest that the
best dried fruit is cheaper than
the poorest canned article. And
with care in preparation the dried
fruit will be better than the best
of the canned variety. Try peach
es, for instance. Soak them, after
washing each one separately, for
"a hours. Cook in the same wa
ter only long enough to sterilize,
with sugar to taste. Select the
most perfect ones for dessert, and
press the rest through n colander.
Add sugar and boil to marmalade
Delicious.

She looked up at him with big,
frightened eyes. "Of course, Bill
ly. But l hadn't wanted to tell

With one arm he drew her to
him. With his free hand he
moved the steering rod. The ma
chine righted itself and flew
along on a straight line.
See, dear!" he shouted, Its

over, he peered carefully among
the levers and cranks. "Only a

They had been flying toward a

the spire of a church.
Dear, have waited so long,"
he pleaded.
She answered him with her
eyes, and the machine tipped
down toward the thin spire.

party hunted. When he was a mere
baby his parents bored a hole in
the lobe of his ear and placed a
piece of wood in it, replacing the

older, until at last the lobe of his
ear has been stretched enough to
hold a bucket two or tire inches
wide. He is much admired by the
native women.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Point Pleasant People Should
Learn to Detect the Approach
of Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys
excrete a thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended BY a sensation of
scalding. The back aches constant
ly, headaches and dizzy spells may
occur and the victim is often weighed
down by feeling of languor and
fatigue. Neglect these warnings and
there is danger of dropsy, Bnght's
disease, or diabetes. Any one of
these symptoms is warning enough
to begin treating the kidneys at once.
Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Point
Pleasant proof:
David S. King, two blocks south
of Spencer Hotel, Point Pleasant,
W. Va. says: -Four years ago l was
practically laid up with kidney trou-
bic. The pain across the small of
my back was SO severe that | could
not get up or down and also had
trouble with. the kidney secretions,
the passages being distressing. al

THE HOUR OF DESTINY.

Opportunity looms big at the door
of Democracy. There is great polit-
ical unrest throughout all ofthe states
and the signs and portents that have
already appeared in the political skies
cannot well be misinterpreted,
Popular idols bid fair to be hurled
from their pedestals, and pillars of
state to crumble on their bases res
ponsive to the demand ofthe voters
for change.
insurgency amoung Republican
members of Congress is but reflex
of the insurgency that is at work in
the minds of their constituents.
They have read the signs of the times
and are trying to adjust themselves
to the changed conditions. Most of
them, honestly, no doubt, read in the
unrest of the voters the necessity Of
espouting measures and laws that
will give to the masses better and
greater opportunities in the pursuit
oflivelihood and happiness.
The pronunciation of faith in Massa.
chusetts and New York Republican
districts was warning MOTTO Delight
ly regarded by those who sit in the
seats ofthe mighty. The dearly tenn
porary victories of influential mem
beers of Congress in the struggle for
denomination, such as that of Repre-
sentative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania,
are pregnant with meaning.
Nonpartisn polls ofyoters in the rock
ribbed states of Ohio and Indiana
indicates beyond all quibble that the
ferment is at work and that the people
are ripe for change.
