Is 1t the Cake They Care For2

Dear Miss Libbey: We are two attrac-
tive young ladies and fairly popular in our
home town. Three weeks ago two manly
youths asked and obtained permission to call
upon at the home of the eldest We offered
these boys devils food cake of which they
are very fond and which they ate with rel
ish. Should we have done this or should
we have waited until they said they were
hungry? Last Sunday night they came again

T" Blu, a Bean Sandwich"

Dear Hiss Libbey: l have noticed that
the majority of your lady correspondents are
all very desrous of becoming married am
%, holding a good position and able to main
tain a comfortable home. My experience with
the majority of the young ladies of today is
that they are not looking for home, but the
majority of them think to be able to cook and
keep a neat little home disgraces them; they
want to live in apartment houses, run out five
minutes before you arrive for supper to some
nearby delicatessen store and buy bean sand
wich, which she will probably serve on cou-
pie of wooden plates, and then she complains
of being fatigued. OAKLAND"

doesn't he marry? Tell me what to do to make
him love me more and marry. NETTIE."
O Nettie, you are far too impatient. The
man probably does not want to marry until he
has some money saved up. If he has asked
you to marry him and he tells you he loves
you there is no need in your losing patience at
your age.

has been to see her and stayed at her home.
But he has not told me he was to see her

to blame as he has told me she was. Shall

doing, or shall / see his wife and let her

out he had wife, and he says he cannot give

The man is dishonorable, unprincpled
creature to lead you on to believe that he
was single l am sure he would be incapable
of ever making you happy. You would never
have confidence in him. A man whose moral
obligations sit as lightly upon him as do this

Dear Miss Libbey: l have been keeping
company with young lady out of town for
some time and just lately found out that her
love for me was of nature which 1 least ex-
pected. / do not intend to marry the girl
as | have just finished high school and in

is, how can / let this girl know my thoughts
on the subject without losing her friendship?
al. p"
The best way to act in case such as yours
would be to gradually discontinue your at
taatons to the girl. This does not mean, of
course, that you must forego her friendship
entirely But / do think that until you have
finished school you should try to keep en-
tirely free from serious love tangles. Call on
her less frequently and in a tactful way give
her to understand that you cannot think of
marrying until you have finished your edu-
cation and are fairly well started in business.

Beginning TO Think He's Tricky.
Dear Miss Libbey: l am coming to you.
IN regard to young man. l have been going
with him for over a year and as wages are
not very good here he left last spring to
where he can make more money and prom
ised to save something ahead for the future.
He seemed like a nice young man and always
acted the part of gentleman when he was
here, but since his going away l am begin
ming to think he is tricky. He wrote me about

but we did not offer them any cake nor were
they bold enough to ask for it. A week has
elapsed and they have not asked to call on
us this Sunday night. Is it the cake they
care for and not us? What shall we do to
win their affection? TROUBLED.
Personally think it not the wisest thing
in the world for girls to serve refreshments
to young men callers. Then they will never
be confronted with such problems as that
which worries you at present But do not
think you should construe the fact that the
young men have not asked for your company
third Sunday night into troublesome
doubts and worries. Perhaps the young men

Bridal Linen Monograms.

maiden name be put on or the name of her

.fhe girls initial is the correct thing for
bridal linen monograms. Oftentimes, how

~ HoULD a wife tell her husband that
she has ceased to care for him?
- Should she confess to him that an
other man has usurped his place in
her heart?
Or should she drift on hoping that he will
find out the truth for himself? Or should
she struggle TO conceal from him the fact
that he is no longer uppermost in her affec-

about such problem. l want you to read

Would woman with any sense of honor
or decency have allowed herself even once to
talk over the question of love with the hus-
band of another woman?
The argument in the womans mind as to
whether or not she should confess apparently
is based more upon the husbands jealous dis
position than it is on any decent instincts in
the woman herself.

ing he did not wish to correspond any longer
Before that he wrote he had promised to
write such letter and told me not to pay
any attention to that letter, as he did not love
her and loved no one else but me. He wanted
me to write in return that did not care if
our friendship ceased, so he could show the
letter to her. He keeps on writing letters
and hopes l am not angry and will forgive
him. He may be doing this just for fun, but
l like young man to be true. Do you think
it best to drop him and would it be wrong to
accept the attentions of other young men
while he is gone after breaking his promise?
"L. NJ"
His actions are most peculiar. don't you
think? 1t appears to me as though he were
trying to lead the other girl on too. At any
rate he shows very weak character. l
would drop him If I were you and go about
with other young men. l don't believe that
he has backbone enough to amount to very
much anyway.

In behalf of the firemen and po-
licemen of the city last night Charles
L. Cherrington, as mayor-elect, pre-
sented to Mayor T. NJ. Todd n beau
tlfully engraved gold watch with
chain and charm. The gift was a
complete surprise to the retiring Of
ficial, but he was visably affected as
he strove to reply to the presentation
speech.
The watch is an expensive affair.
The owners initials are engraved on
the outside. while an inscription in
eide the case tells of the donors and
the occasion.
Mr.. Cherrington made pleasing
speech in presenting the gift, and
Mr.. Todd replied in a voice that
choked with emotion.
All the city firemen and policemen
we're present and cigars were passed
Al ound before they dispersed.
1t was one of the most pleasing
incidents of the whole administra-
tion, and marked the close of long
standing official relation between
mayor and subordinates. However.
Mr.. Todd bespoke the same loyal
support for his successor that the
men had given him.
