Dear Mrs. Thompson: Age pa bit
OF acknowledgements habits--mod-
crate ~salary-good chances for pro-
ravages of love. The girl has prom
Used to marry me. wears a healthy
diamond as a token. accepts gifts
freely. but will not allow me to ca
ress her. Awful! Her people dislike
me. She says h loves me. The
though. Don't you think ! had bet
ter abandon the chase. 1 never go
with other girls. Roy.
Young man. If she loves YOU she'll
want YOU to kiss her-lots. She'll also
enjoy a few hugs. if she's a normal
stand for too much of that sort of
thing. OF course. but h cant be hu-
man and not want to be petted by
the man she loves.
Suppose you stay away from her
for a while. stop giving her things
and let her think you are growing
Indifferent. That will bring out
whether she loves you or not.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
of 20. good looking and dress CLASSY"
All the young men / met would TAX
me out once and never call again. l
never seemed to make a hit" though
they termed me clever and ENTER,
tanning" Some of my girl friends told
me to be real spoony." and I would
make a hit. So i decided to be real
spOony" mo l have hpecome terribly
popular. nave a three proposals and
one fellow has gone 80 far as to buy
a diamond for me. but which / refused
to accept. Almost every one of the
fellows has asked me for steady COM
pany.
1 am now going with a nice fellow
of %. of a wealthy n honorable
family. Recently 1 decided not to
be spoony m more and my popu-
larity has died. Even the fellow ]
drop, when he was just on the verge
of proposing. l low him and hate
to let him go. What shall i do? Con-
tinue to be ''spoony' and be op-
ular. and have good times? Or not,
and have to sit aroun evenings all
good times? l will decide by your
advice. Miss e. B.
/ judge hat you stopped being
spoony because you really love this
young man and want to be worthy
of a good man. Isn't it so. my dear:
girl who Ia been paved over by
every other man she knows and
1 think I'd rather know l was worthy
of such a man. even though it made
an old maid of me. than to lose the
Wilderness of my womanhood just to
be popular and nave good times.
Moreover. do you think hat the man
who loves O only because you are
popular with other men. will stick"
after marriage? He'll probably leave
o sitting alone at home while he
goes off after some other girl who
lows.
] know that a great many young
men prefer the spoony girl and that
girls spoon with them in order to APP
pear popular. But the girl who does
it is cheap. and when she marries
band-unless he is conceited enough
him think thai she never spooned
with anybody else but him.
You must let your own Judgment
decide whether you want a husband
will be a self respecting look
ing for something bigger and finer
than parties and theaters and the at
tentions of silly fellows who don't
make good husbands.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: have a beauti-
full pair of white linen canvas shoes which
i wish to use. but they are worn no more.
Is there amy way they can be dyed or
changed to a black or tan? Annie.
You can blacken them with two or
three coats of ordinary black shoe dress
ing. They can also be painted with stem
ell paints, any color desired. But why
not keep them white? White canvas shoes
are worn just as much as ever.

breaking my heart. L try to go out and
enjoy myself with other boys but cannot.
This is not u passing fancy. but real love.
DO you think he really loves me? Please
advise me what to do. l am sick and

Heartbroken.
My dear, about the only wa a girl may
know III a man loves her is when he asks
her to be his wife. Then he is seriously
in love. Before that, If he cares for her,
he will want to be with her as much as
passible and will try TO please and be
considerate of her in every way. Your
young man has possibly .been very busy
since he went away He is seeing new
things and perhaps in a new business.
When lie gets tired of it all. as he may. he
will think back of you more fondly than
ever. Meantime. all you can do is be
patient. Don't write to him any oftener
than he writes you and make your let
tiers pleasant without being sentimental.
Don't. for goodness sake. let him think
you are in love with him until he wants
to know. of his own accord. But IL he
doesn't care for you. keep a stiff upper
lip and remember that you are still young
enough to outgrow an affection for a man
who doesn't want 1t.
