and she loves me- Do you think l
ought to marry this girl? l am

Your parents are right Even if
you were older your marriage would be
foolish for economic reasons. These
are not the days when Love can thrive
on only $50 a month.

THAT is IMMATERIAL.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Is it proper for a gentleman and
lady to shake hands when intro
duced? GEORGE.
Very young folks do not shake hands
because they do not know what hospi-
tality and friendship really mean. With
years there should come a desire to be
cordial and kind, and the handshake
results.
II is a custom. the observance or the
lack of observance of which can not be

at only through bodily marks and Dollops
close association with Cleek rendered him
particularly capable of speaking with
authority regarding those of his master

able delight to both Narkom and himself

They did not punish her when she

now.
And so | ask forbearance. pity, char
