Tor sister, you think7
Are you sure sisters beau really
does try TO make love to you. or are
you one OF the girls who thinks every
man who says courteous word to
her or pays her little compliment is
In love with her?
Where's siater's beau from?
The south.
They say all kinds of things down
there to every girl they meet and
don't mean word of them.
They would be Mortified to be taken
geriously-their own girls are used to
them and know how to take them.
This may be what is the trouble with
sisters beau.
He may be trying to get you to like
him so you'll say a good word for
him to sister Some men are just that
foolish, little sister - and - are you
sure you don't do some flirting, toe?
What do you say when he tries to
make love to you-what If he dfd
say you were pretty-maybe you are
why shouldn't he tell you so-and
the blue eyes remark, what is there
so serious in that, do tell?
He's probably said that to every
blue eyed girl he's seen for years.
Think it all over, little sister, think
it over carefully-and If you really
believe the man is trying to make
real love TO you, there's just one
thing TO do-walk right into the room
when he is visiting sister, and tell
her all about it right before him.
That viii give them both an equal
chance-and, of course. you would

heartless hirt if you could help it.
Tell sister just what he said, and
what he did, and tell IT so he can hear
and then you've done your duty, and
sees it.
Too lively for sister. is he-how do
you know he is?
Lively men like quiet women, and
lively women like quiet men, didn't
you know that, little sister-and what
affair is it of yours, anyway, as long
as sister and sisters beau are satisfied
and happy?
You probably don't know half so
much about sister as you think you
do. or about your sisters beau, either
so be very careful what you decide
and what you plan when it involves
other peoples AFFAIRS.
OF course, you owe your sister
duty, and, of course. you should pay
that obligation-if the man is really
what you think he is. If he is you
don't want anything to do with him.

If he's deceitful to sister. he'll be
deceitful to you. Oh, no, you are no
wondrous exception; you belong to
the regular rule, little sister, blue
eyes and lively disposition and all.
and If he fbs to you two he'll fb
TO every woman he knows That's
his nature, and you and your little
charms and destinations have not a
thing in the world to do with it.
You may be Cleopatrs-stunning

the chances are you are just a ro-

having fun with you. Not very kind
fun or very fine fun of a very fine art,
but fun NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. him.
Don't deceive yourself one minute
or let him deceive you-or sister,
either, for that matter. Think 1t all
over carefully and do what you would
want sister to do for you-in your
own case.
And listen-don't believe all that
man says who tells you you are pretty
He doesn't expect you to-you know
