Al am not unfolding auto
mobilists, except so far as Is just,
for l have nearly had nervous
prostratiOn from the honking so
loud and so NEAR to me that ii
is wonder i did not jump under
the machine. But there must be
reason in this as In other things,
and, if the people expect the mo-
florists to keep their part of the
law, tho people must do the same.
The driver of a car Is held re-
sponsible for accidents that occur
at the straight crossings; but
when one happens to q person
crossing diagonally, or In the
middle of the street, he is not. /
think many people do not know
this, and believe IL the people
obey this part Of the law there
will be fewer accidents. However,
believe that every time the
driver of u car is guilty he should
have the extent of the law.
Dear Miss Grey: I would
like to ask you fairly hard
; question. If man has
80 been living unmarried with a
! y woman for over five years,
and she leaves him without
a word to live with another
81 man, can she claim any
money from him?
CHAS. w.
sA.-As this state does not rec
ognize the common law marriage,
she cannot claim anything unless
she has helped to make IT.
Dear Miss Grey: Please
tell me how / can obtain a
position either In the Unit
ed States secret service or
the lighthouse service?

tiRA.-You will have to pass q
civil service examination for
either. You can get fun infor-
nation by writing. or inquiring at
the civil service bureau, Federal
bldg, Seattle.
Dear Miss Grey: Will you
kindly suggest some games
to play Halloween?
MISS 10.
A.-There is fun in walking
backward into room with a
lighted candle in the hand and
looking over the shoulder into u
mirror. Your shadow cast by
the candle will make the outline
of your future mate IL you have
imagination enough.
A good game is to provide the
guests with peanuts, pins, TOOTH
picks, and a few chicken feathers
of which to make little animals.
Award a prize to the best. Gut
ting marshmallows in two Is an
other good one. They must be
weighed, and q prize given the
one who cuts most exactly in two.
An attractive custom Is to cut q
cake containing a ring, q thimble,
and q dime. The one who re-
ceives the ring will be married
first; the dime denotes wealth,
and the thimble, single blessed
ness. Other representative artt-
cles may be used, as a pen, a PEN
ell, . small hammer, q little doll,
denoting q writer, an artist, car
penter, and a nurse. A pumpkin
pie may be used instead OF q cake.
Dear Miss Grey: I am a
young man, and in love with
a girl who has an invalid Sis
ter. She loves her dearly.
The sister has been confined
to her bed year. When /
asked the girl IL she would
be my wife she said she
would, and then said she
dreaded to leave her sister
as she knew she would be
missed. Still she hates to
make me wait.
