ms ELtzAsLrE TEeMpson

Dear Mrs. Thompson: % We are
two chums, aged 20. We are both mad.
ly In love with q handsome Indian of
ZS. He says that he loves US both. but
cannot decide which he loves best.
Please tell us what TO do as neither
will give him up. 90 Do YOU think
there is harm In continually flirting
with a man? CD We have fiirted with
man for a solid year and he doesn't
seem 20 tire Of US. What do you make
OF II? DO you think he likes US? 90
When a man proposes 10 you, and you
DO not care TO accept, how can you re-
fuse without hurting his feelings?
GOLDEN HAIR AND
BROWN EYES.
% No white woman has ever mar
ried an Indian and been happy with
him. Every woman who falls in love
with an Indian thinks her case will be
different however. II you want to
try IL, fight II out between yourselves.
He may be willing TO marry you
both, whether it is legal or not. Even
II he did marry one of you, he would
probably want you to share his affec-
lions with a real Indian wife or two
by and by, and expect his wives to do
all the hard work while he sits AROUND
and smokes his pipe. That's the way
Indians do, you know.
C2) l think there is always harm In
flirting unless you fiirt with the man
you intend to marry. He probably'en-
Joys the flirting because it gives him
something to talk about TO the other
fellows. You may be sure he consid-
ers you both as his conquests.
90 Tell him you think a great deal
OF him but not the way a wife should
feel toward husband, and you hope
he will stay your friend all his life.

an in Pennsylvania has swung the ham,

not only learned to shoe horses well, but
also has developed considerable skill in
treating their ailments. SO that in To-

able to accomplish much humane work.
Her feminine ingenuity and taste have
led her to the execution of some ornamen-

city art and craft schools. which this
strong-armed young woman was not priv

The first woman to qualify for the New

successful examination for the position of

Wadsworth's object was to study the
habits of wild animals and to hunt for
big game, which also would appear to be
a venturesome undertaking for women.
