come to you. I have had three proposals of late. The first one I objected and the next excepted and have been engaged for about eight or ten months I loved this man dearer than life itself and have let him kiss me- And then came the third young man and proposed, and I thought I didn't care for him, and didn't only as a friend.
 But since then I sometimes think I don't love the man I engaged to as well as should, and never did l doubt my love for him for one moment until then, and he says he could not live without me.
 When I am with him I love him well enough to let him kiss me. He is the only one ever would let kiss me- We are to be married soon. What do you think about itf
 WORRIED GIRL I think you are too fckle and unsettled to marry yet. Wait bit. Plenty of men in the world to choose from.

And the presence of the family need not deter the young man from giving the object of his affection innumerable love glanees.
 The young girl need not fear that the presence of loving mother or sister will prove a handicap to her prospects. When com panionship has ripened into love Cupid will prompt the young man to propose little stroll or perhaps a little dinner downtown with the girl alone, that he may "pop the question"
 The young couple should not be denied the privilege of few moments alone, in which to say their adieux. The mother or sister should draw the line at accompanying the couple to the door when the young man takes his de- parture. What if they do finger a few minutes on the steps? They may be only planning little theater trip or fraternity dance.
 The presence of the family in the parlor shows the young that the girl demands respect for him. A friendship formed on that basis is proof against anything imprudent in the few happy moments before the final adieux.

peat that sentence several times when she is fixing up for his coming.
 There would be fewer misunderstood girls. So many girls have an idea that to entertain a young they must adopt good fellow attitude. Loud and boisterous laughing, an incessant flow of conversation, punctuated with slang or vulgar loealsms and repartee of an off color " tineture, they deem the requisites of this good fellowship.
 And then they wonder why they are sub jected to unpleasant advances!
 It is girls manner more than her beauty that attracts or repels If the young man caller recognizes boldness and forwardness in the girls manner he tarries not.
 A girl should aim to treat her men friends in the same unaffected and courteous manner that she treats her girl friends. She should be free from embarrassment or boisterousness. The good fellowship spirit Is not a short cut to popularity, as some girls believe. Instead, it is the road that arrives at nowhere
 There are so many delightful ways of en- tertaining young men callers that could be made to serve as magnets to draw them into the girls home circle.

 Calls Fipe or Six Times Weckly! Dear Miss Libbey: I am IS and keeping company with young lady who is two years my junior I am calling on her regularly five or six times a week. My financial circum- stances do not permit me to bestow upon her the pleasures which I would like to if could The following is what wish to ask your opinion of am at present in great dllem- ma as to whether I should keep on paying attention to my lady friend as l have been in the past, or whether l should help my father who is sick in bed and unable to work.
 JULIUS" If you call on her five or six times week the girl will soon get sick of you. Quit it at once. Twice a week is often enough for you. You had better help your father and leave the girl question alone until you are able to do as you would like to. How any girl can bother with boy of your caii5er is beyond me.

power to make their daughters popular with young men.
 No girl is so wise that she does not need the choosing of companions. No one should nave her interest more at heart than her parents. They should make her friends their friends that they may better guide her in her love affairs.

Has Changeable Disposition.

Dear Miss Libbey: I am keeping com pany with young man of 19. I am IT. He is working for his father. He has told me that he loves me.
 [" He is very independent and has change able disposition and treats me the way he happens to feel sometimes very ugly. C No, Yes or Don't bother me ). I am sensi- Gre. sorry to say Sometimes things he says make me cry. He wants his own way in most everything. I give in to everything I think is right But he seldom gives in to me
 He has a few bad habits of which I am trying to break him. He does not want me to go out with other boys or have much to to with them.
 When am sick when he knows he has hurt my feelings then is when he tells me that be cares for me. I am wiling to give up all most anything for him for I love him dearly.

 It is sometimes advocated that the daughter with a beau should have the exclusive right to the parlor each time her young man calls. But the girl who compels the other members of the family to remain out of the parlor makes a mistake. After all, in the game of love the fnrtive hand clasps are the sweetest.

She has re- fused to answer my letter, although it may not be because she does not want to. At an entertainment some time past I asked her to be my partner. She refused, saying she was sick and did not feel like dancing. But

with n pleasing voice. No more direct or easy way is there to reach the heart than the wings of song. The girl who plays is for tunate, too, for she can make idyllc, with mazurka, polonaise, or even ragtime, the happy evening hours
 The girl who has neither of these accom- plishments has within her grasp, however, sure secret of popularity, if she cultivates the art of listening intelligently and applies that art faithfully when the young man calls on her.
 Intelligent listening is the highest form of lattery. And men are most susceptible to fattery, and to no form of it more than this.
 It has been rightfuly said:
 "'Tis a wise woman that knoweth when to hold her tongue"
 So the girl who wants to be popular should encourage her boy friends to talk of the things that interest them If she does not under stand the techncalities of football or base ball, she should give the young man chanca to explain them, and in doing this give him the chance to display his knowledge.
