Do you try real hard to make home at

plants from wives reach me about their hus-

much more than with the husband. However,
if you do try to make things pleasant for him
and you know he is going about with other
you better have a good frank talk
with him and tell him that you simply will
not stand for such treatment any longer.
There is no in putting up with that
sort of thing and the earlier you show your

Wise TO Wed in Summer.

And wedding in summer, too, is the height
of wisdom for the two whose wealth is not as
boundless as their love.
The cost to the young married couple is
quite onehalf less as to housekeeping needs

ter honeymoon ever equal to the delights
of the summer one, and the bride, too, has
the advantage of looking her sweetest and

Of All the Seasons of the Year,
Women Look Their Sweetest in
the Good Old Summertime.

self in summer, even as the earth is glad In
its riotous beauty of flower and fruit time.
The world of sports throws open its doors to
them.
What a pleasure to a young man to have
his dearie by his side to witness the ball
game over which he is so enthusia stic or by
his side in the buggy, in which they must
snugge close if it is to hold two.
There is no nipping, frosty air to hurry
them to the shelter of home; they can bowl
along as slowly as Dobbin will consent to
walk, on warm, starlit summer night. For
the village swain there is the village play
ground, with its fountain, its seats in shell
tered hooks, and its flower beds No wonder
the lover grows romantic, under the witchng
light of moon and stars above, the riotous car
pet of blossoms at his feet and, sweetest Of
ALL the village bud by his side the very EN-
bodiment of love and life's promises.
If his arm steals about the back of the
bench, neither moon, star, girl is apt to
chide him; and, thus embodened, he whispers
into her willing ear the old, old story which
is always new and alluringly sweet to every
pair of lovers.

Real Life Romances Offered Miss bbey Solution

He took fancy to my looks and said he liked
my looks the first sight So he got my adj
dress and wrote me. ApL my cousins wrote
me about him. Now l hear from him once
every week. Soon will be his birthday and
he has sent me beautiful present could
you tell me what you would prefer best for
me to get him birthday present?

Do not get him. birthday present at all.
1t is quite unnecessary and in much better
taste not to send one. The fact that he sent
you a Christmas gift in no way obligates you
to send him birthday present.
Every Girl Has Pet"
Dear Miss Libbey: l am attending high
school and Of course, enjoy the good times
with the rest, but then besides this every girl
has pet" The young fellow l am inter-
ested in is in my class He has no sweet
heart. He is always saying nice things to
me, but yet I do not feel that he loves me.
How can / win his love and affections? Some
of the other girls have said that they knew
he cared for me by his actions but l cannot
see that his actions toward are any diff
ferent than toward any of the other girls
Would it be improper for the girl to send the
first card to boy friend? WAT is nice
little saying, when a boy asks either your
company for the evening or to accompany you
home? IS"
Every high school girls "pei" should be
her studies. Outside of that she should have
no pet" if she ever expects to make any
thing of herself. So, instead of worrying
about how to win the affections of fellow
ycr better worry about how to win the ap-
prevail of your teachers and your parents by
successful school work. No, the man is the
who starts the correspondence. Say,
thank you shall be happy to go with
you," thank you, l shall be happy to
have your company home"

1t would be most unfortunate if she were to

only mean more misery for her and result in
a loss of her reputation. She should make

Sam Is Offended.

Dear Miss Libbey Do you think l should
call or write to girl whom I went with for
two years after she came to church enter
tainment accompanied by another young man?
She had spoken to me the night before and
there seemed to be no differences between us.
| am at loss to understand her. SAM"
Are you engaged to the girl, Sam? If not,
you have right to be offended because she
went out with another fellow. Perhaps, too,
you bit slow and she got tired of wait
ing for you to take her to some amusement.
If you are deeply interested in her the thing
for you to do is to get in the race and don't
let any other fellow get the chance to get
ahead of you with an invitation.

lieve it until he himself tells her, and on ac-
count Of that she leaves her presen. position,

all her might to think of him only as an

she goes back to her employer and in this

Seems Bashful Before Others.

Dear Miss Libbey: There is a certain
young fellow in my town who / think is
very nice. When we are alone ha seems to
think l am the only one. Before others he
seems bashful and does not talk much. How
can l help him to overcome his bashfulness
and at the time win his affections en-
tirely? Some of the other girls are jealous
of me. How can I win their friendship back
and still keep the fellows love and heart affec-
tons? What would be proper to say when
a boy pulls his chair closer to you than you
care about, when in the presence of others?
When talking to your best beloved and he
should take your hand in his when there is
no cause, should you kindly ask him to re-
lease you, let him hold it until he gets
ready to depart? l am young girl. having

roadside for while? l love him dearly.
"B"
l don't approve of kissing between corples
that are not engaged. Unless you are en-
gagged you have no right to dictate as to whom
he shall go about with. OF course, if the
girl is of Objectionable type you might
your influence to dissuade him from going
with her. l do think you are both too young
to think of conhning your attentions to each
other entirely. Why not treat each other
just good chums? There is ever so much
more fun to be gotten out of life if in your
teens you look upon boys as only good friends.
If he is very careful about where he goes you
might go around with him. 1t is all right to
go walking, but l would advise you against
sitting by the roadside

that the lover can linger with his dearie at

Would 1t BE Dishonorablco
Dear Miss Libbey: About six years ago
/ met very nice young lady and loved her
at first sight but at the time l could not think
of keeping company with this young lady, as
l had mother to support. But now that
my mother died l would like very much to
keep company with this young lady, but she
has been keeping company with young man
the last two years. But my friends tell me
they not engaged. Now, would like to
send this girl flowers and ask to call but my
friends tell me it would be dishonorable Every
time 1 meet this young lady she is very nice
to me. JOE"
If she is not engaged to the other fellow
there is reason why you should not pay
her attentions. All is fair in love and war,
you know. Send her flowers and ask if you
may call, if you care to do so. If your at
teRtions not welcome she will probably
make the fact known to you.

The girl is too young for the responsible
