father now, and as soon as l
reach the age of 80 he will pass
over to men a lucrative tinsmith-

drawback The girl is tall and
stately, while l am a little over
five feet in height. Do you think
that should make any difference?

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
DON'T ISOLATE YOUR IF.

JUN ] lSOGFN - 49,
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am a girl CT IS and I never
kept company with a young man
vet. I haven't many acquaint-
ances, but only one lady friend.
NV relatives and even my parents
knock" me because I don't go out
with any young men. Should l
remain with this friend, or try to
get other acquaintanCes?
CONSTANT READER.
Remain true to your friend, OF
course, but remaining true to her
should not bar you from making 9TH
er friends. Go out more. Encourage
the friendliress of those your own
age. Don't get into the lonesome
habit at your young years. If you
are pleasant and friendly and kind,
your circle of friends will soon widen
to include young men.

Not True.

The idea of man named Pat stop
ping to ask such a question. He is
not true Irishman. or he would not
stop to ask if he should try to win
the girl he loves from some other
man, even though the other man
"dished him OUT"
1t has always seemed to me that
the lover who doubts if he has a
right to win his sweetheart doesn't
love her very much. Instead of
rival squirting him to action, he drops
beside the road and wonders if he has
a right to stay in the race,
Really, if the girl has any spirit in
her she Will accept the man who
fights the longest for her, even
though she may love the other man
the more.
