q o he called you cold" did he?
y Dear me, what a dreadful in
dictment-cold-wh a crime
to be cold" to a man you know so
very little bout
Tell me, little girl, which would
you rather do, have this very friend
ly'' young man tell you that YOU are
cold or have him tell other men that
you are not at all cold?
Wouldn't say anything about you
for worlds? That's what you think,
isn't 1t? Well, now, Just make up
that good, sensible little mind Of
yours to think differently, that's all
/ don't know the young man in
question, but If he's anything like
most of the young men l do happen
to know he isn't so very secretive
about his opinion of the girls he
knows
Why should he be, pray tell?
Why should a girl let a man kiss
her If she's afraid he'll tell somebody
about It, If she doesn't want people
to know? Don't do it, that's all.
The Reason Why.
The kissing girl is known from
one end OF her town to the other, and
known, too as a "kisser'-oh, yes 1t
sounds coarse and it is coarse, that's
the worst of it-but it's true, and
while we're talking about these
things let's tell the plain truth-just
for a change,
Some girls who let every man they
know kiss them good might marry,
and marry well, too-but a whole 20.
Of them do not marry at all, just be
cause of the kissing.
What man wants to marry a
girl who's kissed every man she
met for the last four or five
years?
Who wants to meet his friends
and have them look at his wife
with reminiscent smile?
Were you too reserved?
What in the world makes you think

Golf Ehoes

Four men were playing golf on
course where the hazard on the ninth
hole was a deep ravine.
They drove on. Three went into the
ravine and one manged to get his BAH
over. The three who had dropped into
the ravine walked up to have a look.
Two Of them decided not TO try to play
out and gave up the hole. The third
said he would go down and play out.
He disappeared into the deep crevasse.
Presently the ball came bobbing out,
and after a time he climbed up.
How many strOkes?' asked one Of
his opponents

But | heard six"
Three Of them were echoes"

A Woman S
Thoughts
By DOROTHY DIX.

NJ Al su n e2"''' IS "''"'"' '''''-
There are women who have
all the virtues and none of the amen
tiles of life.
The one compensation Of poverty IS
the line that it gives you on your
friends
The truth about her age lies at the
roots of a wOman's hair.
The soft-hearted woman is the
worlds plncushion.
LONELINESS in woman Is the first
aid to virtue.
No women are so self righteous as
those who have never been tempted.
When a woman wishes to give an
other woman a cat scratch she says.
How well you are looking. You
must have gained ten pounds since
saw you last"
The wife and mother who is indis-
pensable to her family has yet to be
born.
There are two secrets that every
woman can keep-her age. and what
bait she used in catching her hus-
band
The most valuable talent that any
woman can posse IS IS to be born with
the ability to weep without getting
her nose red.
A woman loves a man for what he
Is. A man loves a woman for what
he imagines her to be.
Many a woman asks her husband
for the bread Of love, and he gives a
tombstone.
Only fools laugh at the spectacle Of
a woman coddling and kissing a dog
or a canary bird. The wise weep over
the poverty OF heart that has moth
ing better on which TO expend itself.
The difference between a child that
is an imp and one who has a wonder
full. inquiring mind is the difference
between mine and thine.
Nature has not given every old hen
the brains to understand the swan
she has Matched out.

Up-to-the-Minute Jokes

It was at a birthday banquet given
the other evening by a prominent
Paris millionaire banker. The fun
was at it's height, when a lady cried
out:
My pearl necklace has disap-
peared,"
Uproar followed. while everyone
suggested plans for its recovery.
Then the banker had a brilliant
idea.
I'VE will place a salver in the mid
die of the room" he said, lights will
be extinguished, and the perpetrator
Of this silly Joke will have an oppor-
tunity of restoring the missing neck
lace"
This was done.
Then the lights were turned on
again and there was more Consterna-
ton. The salver had disappeared!
'Eh. but I'm tired" exclaimed a
tall and thin man, meeting a friend
in the street.
What have you been doing to get

The Plight of
Freckles
By FRANCES L. GARsIDE.

SGT AM twenty-five years of age"
writes a girl who signs her
self by the descriptive name of
'Freckles," a name that speaks for
itself, "and am deeply in love with a
young man six years my junior with
whom I have kept company for the
past five months He claims he loves
me. but when we attend a dance or
party he seems TO pay more attention
to the younger girls. Do you think
he really cares for me?"
Older women than FreCkles, those
who have known more of loves
sweetness and more of its bitterness.
and to whom Man is no problem. but
something TO be read as easily as a
printed page, will say wisely, HE is
beginning too SOON"
That the man who loves a woman
some years his senior begins at some
time to think he has wasted the
bloom of his youth on an "old wom-
an" is inevitable: she may be only
few years his senior, but the marks
of time are so much more apparent
on her face and form than on his that
he feels justified in calling her old
at an age he will think is young when
he has reached it.

He Is Unjust.

So prone is man to this injustice
that the wife who is the junior is
made to feel with the years that she
is too old for her husband. The man
who is true in his thoughts, as well
as his actions, to the wife who has
grown old in his service, is the eX-
ceptlon and not the rule.
Freckles, who Is twenty-five and Il
woman grown, loves a boy Of nine
teen. and he says he loves her. He
doesn't know what love is. At his
age it is the hattered pleasure a boy
feels at having attracted the love OF
woman who is older. 1t is the love
