EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

What would you do if you were 60
ing with a young man and were in love
with him and he wasn't anxious to
show his love for you? This young
man is very nice, always treats me very
courteousIy and tells the young men in
town that he loves me. But l had my
girl friend go with him to a show re-
Gently and she asked him if he ever in
tended to get married. He told her
yes. some day when he got so old that
he would have to feed himself with
spoon !"
1 quote the above letter because it
describes a certain kind of cad which,
think, decidedly needs to be put into
the pillory of public scorn. And that is
the man who never wants to admit to
one girl that he is in love with another.
This creature with a disagreeable
kind of cunning, evidently realizes
what is, to a certain extent, true-that
the knowledge that he is in love with
one woman will make him less interest
ing to other members of the opposite
sex. And So whenever he goes among
other women, he either keeps still
about his love or openly beltttles it as
this one does.
To one girl he cynically sings the
praises of bachelorhood.
To another he insists that there is
really nothing between him and the
lady in the case.
Another he flatters by comparing her
favorably in some particular with the
girl he is supposed to regard as the
pink Of perfection.
Sometimes he is cool to the girl he
has won, but more often he is the most
ardent and admiring lover and she
sometimes wonders, when she tells her
girl friends how devoted he is, why
they don't seem more impressed.
What would I do If I had a man like
that?'-to return to the lady's ques-
ton.
I don't know.
1 hope should be strong enough t.
give him up and wait for a man more
worth loving.
But, I know things like that are
easier to say Il would about, than to
do.
Maybe I'd just keep on loving him
and perhaps love him and 1dealize him
into decency
Here's hoping that that's what you
will succeed in doing, little girl.
OF course. it's much harder to do
that with petty little meann esses than
real big sins.
But harder" doesn't mean impos-
sible.
It couldn't mean that For love
knows no such word

the cause of an explosion in one of the
gasoline tanks of the submarine Plunger

cost the life of Prince Brown, a labor
er. The particular tank had been
empty for 10 months, yet when Brow Z
struck a match at the manhole an ex-

board found that one of the valves
leaked slightly. just enough in fact u

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HuMoR

Il think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on fits head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In few days the head
was solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura RENE
dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint-
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and 1t has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head Of hair.
