Neglccis Her appearance.

Dear Miss Libbey: Have been in love
with certain young lady for some time.
Formerly she had always looked neat and
clean, when calling on her, but lately she
seems to neglect her appearance. l told her
a few days ago to try to keep her face clean
and look more tidy. Still she seems to pay
no attention. OF course, l may have been
wrong in being SO forward in my remarks.
am in the habit of using tobacco to large
extent and she says the appearance Of my jaw
looks like rubber ball had been placed in
my mouth, and If I did not quit chewing to-
bacco she would give me up 1 grew angry
and called her dippy. Now she Is sore.
love her very much and ask you please to
advise me what to do--quit tobacco or the
girl D."
To my mind there is no habit SO thoroughly
disgusting as chewing tobacco. How any self
respecting fellow can indulge ia the loathsome
habit is a mystery to me. The girl would
have to be exceedingly untidy and careless to
give to man who chews tobacco any op-
portunity for criticism. / think You better
start in your reform work right on yourself.

TT seems almost incredible that so base an
evil as lying should serve as prop for
domestic felicity.
YET we have the assertion of a distin-
guished writer that when married couples
cease to lie to each other they have ceased
to love; and with his assertion he supplies
the information that more divorces result from
incompatability than from intideity-and in
compatibility, he contends is almost invari-
ably brought about through cruel frankness
and brutal truth telling.
In view of the evidence on every hand it
in this writer's assertion.
Every week I receive letters form wives
complaining bitterly of their establishments.
Their idols have been shattered rudely when
fore have expressed only batteries they hear
some stinging remark as to their looks or con-
duct, or perhaps their cooking.
Perhaps there is more philosophy than hu-
NOR in the familiar adage as revised by the
old darky minstrel: Love is blind, and mar
riage Is the eye opener.
In courtship days the man and woman are
drawn toward each other by little batteries.
The approval of each others every thought
and action is a potent feature of romance.
Pretty compliments, too, are potent features
Of courtship
To no small extent love is fed on vanity.
And when this sustaining quality receives a
death blow from the lips of an insulting hus-
band or a nagging wife domestic dissension
becomes paramount
o. that the ysars were vernal
And lovers youthful dreams eternall
Certain 1t is that when fattery is ousted
from the game Of love the work of the heart
mender is redoubled
Love Many Sided Sacrifice.
"Love consists of a little sighing, little
crying, little dying-and little lying" is the
contribution of an anonymous writer And
Thackeray supports him when he says:
What men want for the most part Is
humble, fatterins, smiling, child loving, tea
making being, who laughs at our jokes how
ever old they may be, coaxes and wheedles us
in our humors, and fondly lies;to us through
life"
Love il q many sided sacrifice 1t means
thoughtfulness for others. It means refrain
ing from saying the things one thinks for fear
they may Be distastsful to Others. 1t means
pleasing others before disqualification.
That husbands ofttimes lie to avoid domes-
tic dissension a. wen - to retain the respect
and affection Of their wives il attested to In
the following letter. which II but sample
of many such that reach me:
Dear Miss Libbey: am heartbroken and
don't know what to do. Ny husband, whom
/ love and whom always believed to be the
truest and best man on ssrth. has deceived
me dreadfully. About two weeks ago ne told

Dear Miss Libbsy; One day last week
a group Of girls about II or IS years old
were talking about confidence. We Ill thought
that girl should have some particular person
whom she could question and we would like
your opinion. Most Of US read your articles
and get lots Of good from them. Most Of the
girls are interested in discussing problems
that face the school girl in her everyday life
II you could give us some subjects to talk
on We would be very glad. J."
No one II more deserving Of your confidence
than your mother. She Is the very best friend
you have in the world. She can understand
girls affairs better than any Of your chums
can understand than. The girl who confides
in her mother rarely il ever makes mis-
take that will cause her any unhsppiness.
