the older woman was probably right, her
maternal fears made a coward of her

height, when a lady cried out:

Uproar followed, while every one sug-

Then the banker had a brilliant idea.

Not True.

The idea of a man named Pat stop
ping to ask such a question! He is
not true Irishman. or he would not
stop to ask if he should try to win
the girl he loves from some other
man, even though the other man
"dished him OUT"
1t has always seemed to me that
the lover who doubts if he has a
right to win his sweetheart doesn't
love her very much. Instead of a
rival squirting him to action, he drops
beside the road and wonders il he has
right to stay in the race.
Really, if the girl has any spirit in
her she will accept the man who
fights the longest for her, even
though she may love the other man
the more.
One who heSitates foolishly writes
Il am II and am employed in
wholesale house where a young man
is employed who loves me. He would
like to marry me, but gets only $l1
week, and wants me to wait five
years. Another young man who gets
more wants to keep company with
me. l am not tickle, but want to do
the right thing"
1t is never the right thing" for a
girl of only Il, too young to know
her own mind and heart. to be bound
to promise to marry a man five
years hence. The chances are that he
may not be in position financially to

Know what, my dear? That you are

For an impulsive young woman of

other for money has a way of max
ing it's presence known, and Love has
to know more years than you have

Bashfulness is a good trait, partic-
ularly commendable where the girl
has money. He at least is not mer-
cenary or he would babble like a
brook to attract your attention. Ask
him to call andf show him that you
are pleased with him, remembering
always, for your own safeguard, that
he is a comparative stranger and
that the sentiment which you con-
slider love may be only a passing,
