Dear Mrs. Thompson: IL / am a
boy, nineteen years old. Am very
much in love with a girl about twenty
seven years old. Would it be right
for me to marry her? (2) I am 5
feet, s inches tall. Am I too tall?
CD / am working in a store which
my mother owns: it is in a small
town. Do you think / am in a posi-
ton to marry? (4) My hair is ter
ribly kinky. Is there any way of
making it straight? R. V. BOY.
Cd A woman Of 81 who would mar
~ nineteen-year- old boy would lack
one of the first qualities of a good
wife, and that is common sense. Do
you want that kind of wife? (2)
No. (S) You are probably rot making
enough money to support a wife de-
Gently, and you are not old enough to
make any woman happy. (4) / know
of nothing that will straighten it per-

keeping company with a girl two
months. She said she would give up
her boy friends to go with me. and

have done so but she didn't keep
her word. When / called her atten-
ton to it she accused me of being
jealous. She refuses to go out with
me any more but keeps on telling me
she loves me as much as ever. Does
she? Is it proper for a girl to enter a
cafe with men?

but she has a right to go with other
boys If she is not engaged to marry
you. IF by cafe" you mean a place
where liquors are sold, no respectable
girl goes into such a place with or

and embarrassed girlhood as she sat
there. face flushed, eyes misty, in the
daintiest of white lingerie gowns and
blue ribbons
AS the car turned from Gadsden into
Devilliers street. two men who had
been sitting together directly in front
of Miss Beauty got off. and an old
darkey woman and a very very dirty
little darkey boy got on.
Immediately the Miss Beauty rose
and leaving the handsome young man,
with sigh of relief, took the seat just
vacated by the two men and appar-
emily became engrossed by looking out
of the window.
And Immediately the very small,
very black and very dirty pickaninny
sped up the aisle and without so much
as by your leave. sat down by the
pretty girl in the white frock and be-
gan kicking his bare feet against her
pretty white frock.
This was too much for the passen-
gers who had watched the little by
play and a litter went over the car.
Miss Beauty looked as if the misty
eyes were going to dissolve into tears
and then she thought better of it. and
she laughed. the young man laughed
and everybody on the car laughed with
them, the little darkey included. who
continued to swing his feet until the
conductor, who had been arguing some
question with the old woman, came
along and lifted him bodily and placed
him beside the fat old Nanny. whC
could be heard for the several blocks
giving him a lecture on manners.

OVATION TO
BELOVED POET.

During the second week Of October,
James Whitcomb Riley, the beloved
Hoosier poet, will be the center of the
greatest ovation ever rendered an
American writer. Today is the poets
birthday, but owing to the fact that the
celebration in his honor will be of such
proportions that IL will be impossible
to confine il to one day, IL has been
decided 10 extend IL over a period OF
six days, beginning Monday. october
Z, and ending Saturday, October IL.
Indianapolis, Mr.. Rtley's home town,
has taken the lead in this event, but
the movement has spread like wildfire.
and 1t is doubtful whether there is a
city or town in the United States
which will not have one or more events
scheduled in honor of the poet, who.
through the medium of his verses, has
struck a responsive chord in every
breast and has succeeded In bringing
poetry home to the people

hair like crinkled corn silk. Her
cheeks, softest pink, flushed prettily,
as she got on the car on West Gads-

the seats were taken. The only va

man, all in white linen.
She stood, as lie doubtful whether to
cling to strap or to take her seat
beside the dashing young Adonis. And
she decided for the Adonis.
But she looked unhappy. For one
reason, several people had smiled at
her evident embarrassment, and any

students n every e commence.
ment season is n In which parents
n young people are intensely inteN
ested. Although there is much III
and happy expectancy in this seasy,n.
still there are many fho are UNHAPPY
and for a very simple reason. This
reason is that they cannot afford as
elaborate or as beautiful a graduation
dress or gown as their more fortunate
classmates. Many of the girls today
are working their way through school
or college and cannot afford the ex-
pensive dresses and accessories which
many think are essential to Rradua-
ton. There are others who deem 1t
a waste of time and energy and they
are wise. Not only does it spoil the
girl who wears the expensive gradua-
ton costume. but 1t makes the poorer
girls envious and disconnected. Some
wise people in the Oldest and
hest institutions in the country have
eliminated this difficulty by prescribing
a unirorm to be Wor by the sweet
girl graduate" This plan of affairs
has not been readily accepted, how
ever. and the plan adopted by the
authorities of Spokane. Wash, has
been a successful one There the
choice has been left t o the girls
themselves and their good sense and
mod has not been found lacking.
What might have proven an irksomn
restriction has been changed to =
graceful concession. Some American
colleges have retained the old scholas-
tic cap and gown. not from pedantic,
motives. but to avoid any sort of dress
display. and put all graduates on tha
proper equal footing. For high schools
ana smaller colleges. at ny rate. sim
dresses for the girls seem to be pre-
ferred.

This, Of a surety, is the heyday of
ribbon. Every sort of ribbon-and
every width: every weave; and every
color appear as factors of summer
fashion. and it Is tile unusual costume
that has not a saving touch of ribbon
i'm its makeup. Ribbons are used on
hats. on parasols. on frocks-even on
tailored coats. They trim tichus and
p"tticoats-they trim even themselves
for ribbon SaSlles are garnished with
frills of contrasting ribbon; and from
the widest cash ribbons, half a yard
across. to narrow widths used for the
pert little bows poised under each 9TH
er in ladder effect. the new ribbons are
decidedly the most interesting part of
summer costumes.
Much black velvet ribbon is used
with white n ream lingerie COS
tunes and this touch of dense black
with filmy lingerie materials is always
chic and Partisan. Sometimes the thin
white frock With which a black velvet
belt ribbon is worn. will be accom-
panied by a big black net or maline
hat. also trimmed with black velvet
ribbon. and the trim little boots under
the frock will be of black satin with
crystal buttons. Black velvet ribbon
when of good quality and in generous
WlulIl is never cheap, anu SUCH LTlHl-
ming always adds distinction and ele-
gance to the summer costume.
Ribbon Saslles Are Long.
Unlike the black velvet sashes which
have usually fiat pump bows at the
back-or just at the left of the center
back which is the smart notion of the
moment-the ribbon sashes often fall
to the bottom of the dress. That Is,
one end falls thus far. for seldom in
deed are two sash ends in equal
length. such an effect would be very
prim and bourgeois indeed and the
truly modish sash nay have n end
to the skirt hem. another to the knee
and a third just below the waistline.
All the new sashes are made-not
merely tied-and the ribbon belt
hooks invisibly together under the
knot or loops of the bow. And by the
way. the belt portion of the sash must
be exactly the right length. if the sash
is to set correctly over the frock. If
the belt is too loose the waist will not
look trim, and if it is the least bit too

The sweet.s, Time O. Year.


It's getting time o year just now when
May swings into bloom,
And al the peach and apple trees are
rocking With perfume.
A onnoenmic glory gilds the morning
In the east
with an iridescent glamor Of a mighty
sumptuous feast.
The blackbird in the hollow, and the
robin in the tree.
Arc shouting halleluiahs up to heaven
and to me;
Tho forest trees are pudding with a
freshnese rich and rare.
And pronounce a benediction through
the blossome-scented air.
The South wind in his ramhles search
es ev'ry shady nook.
And sathers sweetes, perfume from
the blossoms by the brook,
The sun in gorgeous splendor shines
upon the growing grain:
The flowers nodding to and fro are
welcoming the rain.
I love to hear the dronins of the nus
Ky humble bee.
Az he tumbles through the meadow
in muffled ecstacN.
I love to hear the ripple OF the bust
thing little rills,
And the music of the breezes as they
kiss she d%affodils.
There is something that is pleasinG
ev'ry minute of the day,
When Maytime brings the blossoms
out and aaunts her banners gay,
All the glories of the seasons in a sin
gle bunch appear
For the blossoming of nature is the
sweetest time of year.
It's a part of my religion l would like
to have YOU know,
That a loving smiles an antidotc f"i

When Your thoughts are with tbs
