~ HERE is no time in the history of
 the world when woman has not had
 the power to fascnate Her love has
 been mightier than the empire of kings and the dominion of armies It has outgeneraled generals It has con quered conquerors.
 But in the feudal age when the weapons of were rude and coarse womans weap- on-love-shone out with brilliance never before exceeded. And at no time before or since has woman occupied so high a sphere. She was embazoned in an atmosphere akin to divine worship. so sanctiied creature was she looked upon by men.
 It was the age of cbivalry-when chivalry walked hand in hand with love. To love in the days of Richard Coeur-de.lio could not alone win the heart and, hand of a fair lady Deeds of valor and the spirit of chiyalry were as necessary as love itself.
 Chivalry required from the aspiring lover various proofs of loyalty and courtesy to woman. It was his duty as an aspirant to please her. Pending the novitiate no word of love was permitted. Advancement might be lost through awkwardness of speech gesture.
 Caprices of the lady properly endured, and the tests undergone unfalterngy, ad- mtted him to her favor, and ofttimes to knighthood. When the lady's favor had been earned, formal homage was paid The knight knelt before the lady. He placed his hand ir hers and thus acknowledged himself her liegeman Then she rewarded him with a kiss.
 Courts of love were established to exer- else jurisdiction over matters of the heart. The whole community served as a constabu- lary to see that the decrees of the courts of love were executed. Many of these decrees were extremely arduous But if man dis regarded these court decisions he was denied , entrance to the greatest fete of the time the tournament And if girl offended by tsregarding the decision every door of the community was closed against her, and she wns completely ostracized.

letter on the girl question some time ago. asked four girls to go to a May festival. They said they were engaged, but I found out they were not My conclusion is that all girls are liars. The whole outfit could be in purgatory for all me, and I won't have anything to do with them next year, etc.
 '' Now, this young man is an authority He asked four girls, probably all he knew, and they all lied to him so his conclusion is nat ural. Now, if I may submit my humble opin ion an appendix to this, will second his first conclusion, but qualify his second fol- lows; Instead of having nothing more to do with them, want to have more girl friends and acquaintances, on the chance that 1 may find some who lie less than others, enough to be congenial As for the uncongenial married couples, let them speak for themselves. I'm 25 and single, and some girl has to do a better job of lying than I have heard before--but then you know the rest-they all do.

 Query of Grandmother
 " Dear Miss Libbey I am grandmother and haven't any boy or courtship questions to ask but there are some things l would like to know, and thought perhaps you could en- tighten me.
 "While shopping I found envelopes with a black border and cards that fitted the en- velopes, also with black border. On the thought it was to be used by people that had lost friends, but was not sure. 1 thought if you did not know you would be in a better position to find out than I am. Some people use some things that are not good form. What I want to know is, should people that have lost friends, or people that wish to express their sympathy to bereaved ones, use such stationery, and is it perfectly good form to use it either way? I have enjoyed reading your high class answers to some questions that would not give high rating. Thank ing you in advance, I am friend to girls.

 Upon the second day of the tourney again the Dsinherited Knight was victor. The.- reward most dear to him was not the royal . approval nor was it the cheers of the multi tude. That which filled him with su-j preme joy was his recognition by the fair Rowena followed by an expression from the lips of her whose heart was the cherished prize of his valor: Upon brows more worthy could wreath of chivalry never be placed.'

Suggests Bureau of Introduction.

'' Dear Miss Libbey: Your advice and couE- sel which you are daily so faithfully giving to the perpexed is sensible and shows such a deep understanding of human nature that I take the liberty of laying my case before you. The details of my experience are few, and they are of interest only in so far as they are typical of, thousands of other young men in Chicago who have the same struggles.
 After graduation from a southern uni versity I came to Chicago several years ago to study law, which I did by working in business house during the day and attend ing an evening law school. During those years I did not seek to make social ac- uuaintances and now do not find it possible because my profession does not bring me in touch with the class of young people desire to meet 1 do not know whether or not you can understand it, but there is a growing longing to meet and know nice young ladies the same as 1 see other young men of my age (25) do.

 Would you advise me to explain matters to the gentleman, or should I simply plead indisposition or other engagements when he invites me out again? l shall be greatly obliged for your best advice in this embar- rassing situation. ALMA T."

 |" Dear Miss Libbey I am a young wife of 22 years. My husband is four years my senior We have been married one and one half years and are happy but for one fault he has, that is he never gives me any money. He pays all the bills himself that are con tracted for the household, but think ought to have a little change for myself as a woman needs little things she likes to get for herself. I always had had money of my own until l was married Now. how could I induce him any words, as he is close with his money?
 "A WIFE"
 It is serious fault of your husband not to give you money. You certainly ought to have some money for yourself and it is time you awakened to that fact. Tell your husband firmly that from now on you expect to get an allowance of so much week There is no in ducing about it. Simply tell him you must have your share. and that you are entitled to it without any begging or pleading for it. Are All Girls Fickle9
