YrES in love with you-and you
II know it-but he won't say So

about 1t?
Now, how in the world do you know
he is in love with you?
What has he done to make you
think so?
Told you he liked the color of your
eyes. brought you bunch Of violets
one day when he happened to feel
generous and wanted to see what
you'd say when he gave them to you,
tried to get you to let him kiss you

anything-not a thing in the world,
little girl-and the sooner you make
up your mind that no man is going to
die of love for you without ever max
ing single moan the better off you'll

Probably the young man you think
is so dead in love with you is sorry
for you
He sees that you are weaving some
sort of impossible romance with him
as hero, and he doesn't know what
to do about it He is doubtless asking
his chum how to act to keep you from
throwing yourself into his arms.
Sounds cruel. doesn't it, and un-
sympathetic?
| Well, my dear little girl, ] am afraid
1T is very unsympathetic, indeed.
! All the love making is not done by
the men In these days.
/ know myself three different men
at this very moment who are almost
crazy to escape girls who are deter
mined to pursue them or any other
man to the ends OF the earth--just TO
have the excitement of some sort of
a love affair.
You are not in love with this young
man, little sister. you just want him to
be in love with you-and that isn't
! fair and it isn't safe.
| Love is an edged tool and, oh. how
deep, how deep it cuts in careless
hands.
Half the poor girls who throw
themselves into the river are driven to
that terrible step because they ran
after some man who was really try
ing. in the half dumb masculine fash
ion. to be as decent as they would let
him be-
| Men are not all brutes and not ali
fools. Some of them try very hard TO
be straight with the girls they know.
Be one of the girls who help the
men you know to be decent-that's a
sweet. sensible. nice little sister
When a man falls in love with you
he'll tell you OF it-never fear.
And until he does-don't worry
about the volcanic state of his feel

When. oh Wise Mother. is the hap

Daughter.
But you forget. Mother. that when
they are babies they cry In the night

1t is a lot easier, My Child, getting
up and giving children Group medi-

and look at the clock and wonder why
they are not in.
Why do men and women look for
the postman with such anticipation
when all he ever brings is bills and
letters containing complaints and
stories of grief?
Every one. My Dear. is a victim of
Hope. Men never get too old to ex-
pect letters containing money and
women to the end of life are looking
for expressions of admiration from
some unknown admirer.
What does it mean. Mother, to be
called a worm?
1t means, Dear Daughter. that one
doesn't bite, nor claw. nor scratch, but
goes steadily about ones own busi-
ness, molests no one and is the hum

a worm is to be paid compliment

Because when 1t is known OF O

GETHSEMANE AS 1T
Is OBSERVED TODAY

One of the most interesting spots
in the environs of Jerusalem is the
garden of Gethsemane, on the south
ern slopes of the Mount of olives. 1t
is an inclosed space of about one
third of an acre, surrounded by
high wall, and belongs to the Fran
ciscan monks. One cannot say with
the exact precision demanded by the
scientific explorer, whether this is the
actual spot where our Lord was be-
trayed. but at all events it is hal
lowed with a continuous tradition OF
some sixteen centuries. As you enter
YOU pass the traditional spot of the
betrayal and the place where the
disciples slept while Christ was at
prayer.
There are well-arranged flower
beds. and around the inside of the
walls are representations done in re-
lief in colors of the fourteen stations
of the cross An object of interest
in the garden is an old olive tree.
This, with some other trees, is said
to date from the time of Christ and
is known from historical records to
be of great age-at least 900 years
Rosaries are made from the olive

Airmen S Great Danger

The skillful airman can now fly his
machine in high winds of 80 to 40
miles an hour with amazing ease, but
the danger of such flying is that once
let strong wind get behind the aero
plane, then trouble is pretty certain
to come. 1t requires airmanship of
the highest merit to turn an aero
plane when the wind is blowing hard
in its wake, for as the machine
swings around the wind catches it
broadside on and robs it of the speed
necessary for stability.
One of the unwritten laws of the
air is that flyers should not pass each
other nearer than twenty feet or So
The powerful draught of ten-foot
propeller whizzing through the air
leaves vacuum behind an aeroplane
that provides no support for machine
