am a young lady keeping COM
pany with a young man for two

man to love me in so short a time
as he says he truly does? Is it
proper for me to let him kiss me
when leaving a t night, and how Oft
en-? Would it be wrong for me to
go out with a gentleman friend OF
his without him knowing IT? How
long should ! go with him before
becoming married? f. NJ. j.

probable for u man to love a girl on
such short acquaintance, but the love

Hints or the

The following is an admirable way
of cleaning white fur or chidren's
white wooden tam o. shanters-in fact,
anything that can not be washed: Get
a pound of white powdered starch, put

ticle to be cleaned in the powder. Shake
the starch off the article, and it will
be found to be as clean as when it
was first bought.

Devil in F atherly

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

TINE devil assumes many guises.
There is no age nor condition
barred to him. An impish young
boy today, he is q designing, treacher-
Gus old woman tomorrow. He never
lacks a masquerade and of all the parts
he assumes that which suits him best,
and in which he works to the greatest
advantage, is the role of fatherly old
man.
Never does he assume that part when
his intended victim is ugly and unat-
tractive His fatherly instincts are new
err aroused save by young, pretty and
defenseless girl. The hand which he
lays on her shoulder is a benevolent
hand She thinks so, and so does her
foolish mother. but 1t would be better
for the girl If 1t were the hand OF a
leper.
A girl of sixteen writes me that she Is
employed in an office with many other
girls, but that for some reason she
alone has been treated with special ia

girl adds that she is pretty and that

BEES ARE QUITE PROFITABLE
Honey CATERERS Are Only Producers
on Farm That Yield Profit WITH
out Cost Of Feed.

BY WESLEY FORSTER, Colorado state
Bee Inspector.)
If people knew what a great source
of profit is found in the keeping OF
bees. and how interesting the work
there wouldn't be an unused square
foot of ground on any farm in the
United States.
Bees are the only producers known
to husbandry that yield profit with
out cost of feed. They find their own
pasture. They multiply so rapidly that
they more than pay for the small ini-
tial expense of housing them, and the
first cost of equipment is almost tri-
fling.
Bee culture may be made profitable
by the children of the farm, or by
the women members of the family. 1t
may be carried on successfully in con-
junction with the keeping of poultry
or growing of fruit. In the latter case,
agriculture is found to be great help
toward more fruit and better fruit.
Bees are little trouble, and require
only occasional attention. They are
easily handled and readily controlled
Best of all, they give real service
In hard cash, and that counts most OF
the farm.
