 " He is feet 1 inch tall, has light, curly hair and beautiful blue eyes, weighs about 165 pounds, is real handsome, and as l am tall and slender don't you think we would suit? He goes with girls who are not half as good looking as I am. He has moved about twenty miles from me now and I seldom see him, but still I am crazy about him.
 Now, how can be attractive as other girls he lkes and do you suppose there is way for me to win his love? Please advise one in trouble. SUSAN
 It might help if you wouldn't make it so evident what an extremely silly person you are.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-12-08

There is A type of girl with a distorted sense of right and wrong who writes me asking if it is not all right for her to permit such familiarities as hugging and kissing from the young man who calls Invariably she tells me, fellow expects it of her" and is az grieved if she will not kiss him good night.
 This sort of girl does not invite wholesome companionship. She invites unpleasantness which never fails the girl who so cheapens herself. This fact is always borne upon her in most unpleasant way, too. Very often one of whom she has grown extremely fond is the one to tell her he could not respect girl who would allow men to make so light of her.
 No girl should imagine she has a claim upon a man because he has called on her few times If he is not engaged it is his privi- lege to call on whom he pleases. Many men are interested in girls not with a view to matrimony but because they find them con genial companions.
 The girl who wants to be popular with young men should first of all cultivate modesty and the charm that ever accompanies it. When he calls, let her be courteous as she can be, and let her conversation reveal kindness of nature Let her listen attentively and fatteringly to his words. The young men will want to call often.

Not Married Long.

:" Dear Miss Libbey; We have not been married long, and my husband is a travelling man and is away from home a great deal and realizing that I would be lonely he in- duced chum of his to take our spare room He is estimable young man, and my hus- band thinks everything of him and has asked me to make it as pleasant for him as possible and he pays us a good price for his room.

ResbonsibiIitu Rests pith Parents.


 If parents prejudices deny the young girl the privilege of entertaining her young men friends in her home she finds meeting place away from home. And the parent who drives the girl, by depriving her of her home privileges, to resort to secret meetings, is morally responsible for the unhappy ending of the secret romance.
