Dear Miss Libbey: / am 10, considered
very good looking, and with accomplishments
that would give young man all the requisites
for a happy home. Have been keeping exclu-
sive company with young for year
and half, and he says that he loves me
dearly and has asked me to become his wife,
but he continually calls me down fo- having so
much pride. Do you think that it is wrong
for girl to be proud of her beauty and ac-
complishments? Do you think that l would
be safe in marrying him knowing he is in
clned to find fault with me? MATTE"
From your letter l think you need to be
found fault with. l hope you will try to mend
your ways There is pride in self which
makes men and women strive to do their best
that is highly commendable. But to be proud
of ones beauty and accomplishments is moth
ing more than vanity. Self-satisfied people
are the most stupid, disagreeable, and usually
the most ignorant of all types. Accomplish
ments don't give all the requisites for happy
home, as you seem to think. A happy home
requires congeniality and deep love and un-
derstanding that vain person is usually in

are entirely opposite people. The thousands of
other engaged men all over the country are
different too. Each has his own ideas about
how often to call on the girl of his heart
Who say which is right?
The average girl likes man best who shows
that he is devoted to her and her interests
She enjoys his calls. She is proud to be taken
out by him and likes to see other girls cast
admiring glances at her escort She likes to
keep in touch with what he does at the Office
each day. She wants to hear whom he has
met and what each person has said to him.
One evening each week, or even two, is not
often enough for the engaged girl to see her
fance. She is eager for his arrival putting
on her prettiest dress especially for him. She
counts the days until she sees him again.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-27
Can't Co Out at Night Alone.

Every girl likes some time to herself, to be
sure, but few girls really object to monopoly
of their time by their fances if the matches
are really for love. OF course a girl must
have time to visit with her friends, and if she
is working girl she must have time to sew
and straighten up her room and write letters
But most girls are willing to do these duties
at odd moments in order to spend more time
with the men they love.
Girls cannot go out at night alone. OF
course girls can go out in twos and threes,
but even then the number of places where
they may go in safety is restricted At night
a girl must be safely sheltered. She cannot
be on the streets too late without an escort
unless she is hurryng home from business or
has been unavoidaby delayed. Even then she
is not safe.
The evenings that her fance calls the en-
gagged girl is happy. The other evenings pass
slowly. She cannot always read or sew. She
wonders what the man is doing. Even if she
trusts him too much to think that he is with
another girl she is unhappy in the thought
that his whereabouts are unknown to her. She
thinks of him and sghs and wishes that he
was with her.

How often ought a man call on

Just recently in London an engaged girl de-
manded too much of her fances time. This
led to a broken engagement and this was fol-
lowed by breach of promise suit. There
was judgment of 1 farthing damages. This
particular courtship had lasted four and
half years, during which time the man had
written 400 letters and $50 post cards, all
in endearing terms. He had devoted nine
hours to her each week and eight hours every
other Sunday, but when other engagements
broke into this time the girl objected and
the breach of promise suit resulted

Sometimes He Does Not Call
And just recently, too, l received several
letters on this very subject Here is one of
them:

1t is hard to say, Louise, just what is the
best advice to give. 1t is hard . tell any of

of forcing man away from Indifference.
And the man who is laggard ir love is pretty
