Concerning a Wedding.

At a home wedding should the

tor who performs the ceremony the
wedding fees when the marriage GER
tificate is given him, or after the cere.
mony is over?
Please accept my thanks for your
answer through your paper-A Con.

Give the minister the fee when the
business is settled, just before the Ger.
emony, for usually there is no good
: opportunity afterwards.

questions from "Hooebuo."
| found your questions and answers
last Sunday. did not know they
were in there until . friend Of mine
told me about them. think they are
so nice for young folks to read.
Ihave been going with q girl twenty
years old. but she seems to I've no older
than myself q am thirteen). We al.
ways went with the boys to ;ether, but
she married recently. and dc you think
1t all right for me to 60 to heaters at
night alone with boy. Fly mother
does not approve of me h; wing COM
pany very much. Do you t ink it any
harm for a boy to kiss a girl? I sup.
pose you think am rather flirt. but
I just wanted your opinions on It. I
hope you won't think have asked too
many QuestiOns.--ROSebu
A mother is perfectly right who dis.
approves of thirteen-year old girl
going alone at night to the theater.
Don't do it and don't allow boys to
kiss you. It is decidedly common and
ill-bred and no boy of good birth and
breeding who has the least respect for
the girl asks he, to do it. so II you are
going with that kind of boy you had
better stop.

Surely, entertain for your friend.
Just because your purse is a bit light
is no reason for not giving good times
to others. Ask the girls to bring a
dish towel apiece and mark the same
for the bride-elect, then about tive
o'clock serve tray with tea and two
kinds of sandwiches, add candies and
sailed nuts and you will have sufti-
cient. and girls love these cosy times.

in the "back to the soil movement

year he has talked by day and dream
ed by night of the smell of the new
mown hay and the fascinating odor
of the freshly turned earth. Reams
and reams of paper las he used in
wooing the Muse and basking in
her smile as he warbled of the twit
tering of the birds. the hum of thA
bees in the clover and lowing of the
kline at the coming of even time.
He has written by the thousand pag-
es and talked by the half day; ne
has lectured every fellow mortal
whom he could get into a corner ana
has ridden countless Nightmares in
his back to the soil fancies. But

anguish and red from being bathed
in the sweat of his brow. he now

may be sure Peter has something
very important to think about. At
least he has something on his mind
that he thinks is important. The fact
IL Peter had fully made up his mind
to change his name. Yes, sir, that is
just what Peter Rabbit was planning
to do. He thought Peter Rabbit too
common a name. but when he tried
to think of a better one he found that
no name hat he could think of really
pleased him any more. SO he thought
and he thought and he thought. AND
the more he thought he less appetite
he had.
Once Peter thought Of going up to
Johnny Chuck's house in the far cor
ner Of Farmer Browns old orchard
and asking Johnny to help him decide
on a new name. He even started, but
somehow he had a feeling that john
ny Chuck would just laugh at him and
call him foolish, and so lie once more
settled down in the old briar-patch to
think.
Now Jimmy Skunk was the only one
to whom Peter had told how discon-

was Jimmy who had suggested to
Peter that he change it. Jimmy
