Friends Love same Girl.
ct am 49," writes Pat Carey, "and
deeply in love with a girl named Ag-
mes, who is just Is. Ny friend Tom is
also in love with her, and keeps com

ping to ask such a question! He Is not
a 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
Outi'
IT has always seemed TO me that the
lover who doubts if he has 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 if he has right to stay
in the racei
Really. If the girl has any spirit in
her she Will accept the man who ilgnts
the longest for her, even though she
may love the other man the more.

Going Ont With Other Girls.
'T am II" writes a little girl who IS
beginning to taste the bitterness of love
early, and deeply in love with young
man of 10 He said he loved me, but
see him going out with other girls II
makes me feel blue to see him go out
OF. course It does. It always has It
always will. The great tragedies OF
fact and fiction are evolved from that
very condition It makes your lutte
heart ache. and no doubt you have
made your nose red and your pretty
ewes dim by shedding tears over his
perfidy.
Paying the Price.
You are paying the price Of love,
little girl, all too soon. one shouIQ
not begin at II to shed the tears that
are caused by a mans fickleness. One
should at that age be merry and giad,
and laugh at love instead OF weeping
over him.
Don't say, at makes me blue" Don't
take a woman's pains before you reach
Yoman's estate laugh and be glad
that YOU care so little for the man who
goes with other girls. and you will find
yourself caring less
No matter what the perils and the
price, love is worth all one endures,
all one pays. Let US have faith in 1t,
hope for it, welcome it, Let US regard
it with the simple fa1tN or childhood
that led US to read with sigh. and
close the book without doubt, firmly
relieving the gospel truth of the clos
ing line:
@And they married and lived happy
ever afterward."
