considered very good looking, and
ann deeply in love with d gentle
man fourteen years my senior. He
has q handsome income, and al
though he acknowledges having
taken other young ladies to the the
alter, opera, supper. etc, still he
maintains that | am the only one
lie has ever loved.
DO you think he is sincere, or is
ii possible that he has said the
same to his other girl friends?
He may have declared his love to
other girls in the past. and still be sin
cere when he makes the same declara-
ton to you today.
Nothing is changeless; not even tn,
human heart.
Trust him till you have reason u
doubt him. If he follows his declara
zion of love with a, proposal of mar
riage, YOU can not doubt that his in
tentions are good.

He has no bad habits and makes
$25 q week. Do you think he loves
me enough to mar ~ him without
my folks consent and live happy
Also don't you think my folks are
in the wrong? T. M. +.
Twenty five dollars a week, when

thrifty, is enough for two to live OF

lower the wrist, still keeping the An

well to place the fingers on a firm

raise it as if from the shoulder and

A Foolish Thing to Do
By Beatrice Fairfax

If he cared for her he wouldn't make
such a silly request If she cared for
herself she wouldn't grant it. If 81.
had little of the will in his presence
that she has in her family relations il
would save her many a humiliation
This lending of jewelry is bad
practice among girls. 1t Is infinitely
worse when among girls and vouns
men. The girl gains nothing by grant
ing such a request, and she stands ia
lose more than her jewelry, which In
itself may be trifling.
She stands to lose her self-respect
She is letting the young man know thai
his influence over her is greater than
her good sense.
She is giving every hostage to love
he is giving none
When the right kind OF man comes
wooing all he asks the girl to give is
her heart.
He adopts no highwayman methods
If his love demands little keepsake
he asks for a flower she has worn.
He never says, Give me your lev
elry. and if l ever lose you as nv girl
I'll give it back to you"
Such an unmanly declaration should
make any girl know that the best thing
that can happen to her is to be lost as
his girl. Being the sweetheart of a
man so lacking in all the little tender
gallantries of love does not spell happi-
ness.
So beg of all my girls when a man
does as this little girls young man has
done, that they tell big brother. or a
father. 1t is not enough to wait tin
this highwayman in the court of love
acts of his own pleasure.
That may be never.

There is nothing that teaches more

TT often happens that girl who Is
said to have a will of her own, SO
far as her family is concerned, has
none so far as concerns her young man.
Her parents find her as unmovable as
rock wall. The young man, though
he be Of too slight acquaintance to be
called friend, and makes no preten-
siohs of being a lover, finds her as easy
to mould as so much wax
This is both unfortunate and danger
GUS Her parents exert their influence
for her good. The young man doesn't
always. Their influence is benignant.
Yet, girls who know this will follow
blindly where a man beckons, and re-
fuse to go where their parents prayer
fully guide.
l greatly fear the writer of the fol-
lowing letter is girl whose young
man finds she is easily influenced:
Il am a girl of eighteen" she writes,
and made the acquaintance a month
ago of a young man the same age. He
has taken me to several places OF
amusement, and on one of these occa-
sions he took my ring When he took
me home that evening l demanded my
ring, and he refused TO give it to mt.
BHe told me if he ever lost me as his
girl certainly would not lose my ring.
have asked him many times, and he
refuses to give it back
Cupid, attired as policeman, is not
familiar or lovable picture, but there
are cases where Cupid should drop his
bow and arrow and take on police
mans club This is one of them.
Every few weeks get wall of woe
from some girl who has given her
young man her ring or her watch. or
some other trinllet dear to her which
he refuses to return,
Her father or her brother, could
compel him to return what he has
taken, but her pride forbids the admis-
sion that she was foolish enough to lei
him have it
Such a girl has such will of her
own in her own home that none of the
family dares SO much as borrow little
bit of her finery, or use any trihe tina
is her personal possession.
But a young man comes along. Per-
haps, as in this instance, she has known
him only a month When he asks for
the ring on her finger she lets him
carry it off.
