Dear me, what a dreadful in
dictment-cold-wh crime to
be cold" to man you know so very
little about.
Tell me. little girl, which would
you rather do. have this very friend
~" young man tell you that you are
cold" or have him tell other men
that you are not at all coid7
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 IL he's anything like
most of the young men I 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 IL she's afraid he'll tell somebody
about it, If she doesn't want people
to know7 Don't do it, that's all.
The kissing girl is known from one
end OF her town to the other and
known, too, as "lxisser"-oh, yes. it
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.

How to Keep Face
Young and Attractive
1National Hygten,c Reyierl

The way to ward off old age is not
to fear II, not TO allow ones self to
be oppressed by the dread advancing
years. Use only legitimate prevent
ives and avoid trying experiments
with preparations not indorsed by
physicians. An entirely safe and very
effective way to keep the complexion
young looking and beautiful Is to
apply ordinary mercolized wax at bed
time, using it like cold cream. wash
ing 1t off in the morning. This grad
ually absorbs the withered. faded
cuticle, which Is replaced by the more
youthful. pink tinted underskin. One
ounce of this wax. to be had at any
drug store, Is enough to completely
rejuyenate a worn out complexion.
Crows feet and other wrinkles, the
first signs of advancing age, may be
removed by a simple, harmless prep
aration made by dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite In half pint
witch hazel It Is used as face bath.

The Girl Who Refuses to Be Kissed
Rx BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Some girls who let every man they
know kiss them good night, marry
and marry well, too-but whole lot
of them do not marry at all, just be-
cause of the kissing.
what man wants to marry = girl
who's kissed every man she met fer
the last four or ave yearss
Who wants to meet his friends asd
have them look at his wife with
reminiscent smiies
Were you too reserved?
THE REASON WHY
What in the world makes you
think that?
Because the man doesn't come TO
see you any more?
That simply means that he doesn't
want to spend his time with you un-
less you let him make all kinds OF
love to you. What of it?
DO you want to be his "spooning
girl and nothing else?
Do you want him to walk with you
and talk with you and make love to
you for months and months. till every
one you know couples your names
and then go and marry some other
girl who isn't quite so ohiiging as
you?
Ten to one that's what he would do
he isn't ready to marry. or he does
not care enough for you to want to
marry you-that's all. Do you want
to be a kind of nothing better to do
girl for him7
sURE TO BE
If you do, just call him up. and the
first time he comes around show him
that you are sorry that you were
what he calls so "cold''-and see
what he will do. I hope you will do
no such thing. hope you viii show
that Young man that he'll have to
look elsewhere for temporary amuse-
ment of that sort You'll be friendly
and nice to him. Have fun with him
-be all that a light hearted girl
should be in the way of a companion
But you'n draw the line--where the
man himself draws it when he thinks
OF the girl he wants to marry some
day.
If he loves you he'll come back.
He won't stay away because you are
"cold." II he doesn't love you-the
sooner he begins staying away the
better-for you and for HIM. roo
Stick to your colors, little girl the
clean. wholesome, honest colors of
clean. wholesome, honest giriheod-
they'll win; they'll win-and what
they win will be worth keeping.

and. upon my late return home.
OF course, resumed friendly rela-
tions with his people. He asked
me II he might kiss me, which
refused, and after that tried sew
eraI times in a playful way to
caress me, which I also resented
Whereat he called me cold" and
said I had no reason to be so dis
tant with him. and now keeps
shy of me and has broken several
promises he made me, although
in all other respects I have tried
to show a friendly interest in
him. Was / really too reserved?
Does our long acquaintance really
entitle him to that kind or
familiarity? / think good deal
of him. but more of my self

really cared as much for me as

be so easily discouraged?

not because wanted to, but because
coffee, which I dearly loved, made my

"On advice of friend, I first tried
Postum, making it carefully as sug-
