friends mothers ears in due time.
She. believing it, told her son
about It, and he asked me in a
very nice way if this was the case,
OF course l told him no, explain
ing everything, and he believes in
me. / believe he is continually

You love each other; he believes IN

GET A STAMP BOOK.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I received a letter from a girl
friend of mine with the stamp
put on with the face toward the
top of the letter / have heard
from friends that the way the
stamp is fixed on means some
thing. A. E.
Almost any book store has for sale
a book that will enlighten you on the
stamp language.
However, it is better to remember
that the position of the stamp is
usually accidental and means nothing.
A better way to find out a girls heart
is to ask her.

DON'T PROTEST so MUCH,

Dear Miss Fairfax:
am % years old and deeply in
love with a young lady a few
years my junior. We met a few
years ago, and have kept COM
pany ever since. | am sure she
loves me, but she doubts nv love.
There's not thing l wouldn't do
for her and | love her dearly,
but as she doubts my love how
can | prove to this young lady
that l love her truly? \. G. b.
Perhaps you protest so much Of
your love that you weary her. Try
spending several evenings with her
without mentioning the subject. This
treatment will result in her asking if
you love her. In reply be less sure
less emphatic. She will give more
heed to a half-hearted avowal thar
she has given to more fulsome ones
because she will be interested. | am
sure the desired result will follow.

exclaimed Helen, investigating ii with
her fork.
Yes but Just mashed potatoes and
cabbage don't make Bubble and Squeak.
There's a whole lot in how it's done.
Ever taste anything better than that?'
Just then a stout white bearded,
white capped carver showed by a roll
ing stand of roast beef and mutton. He
stopped at the stall next to theirs and
Helen watched him carve a thick slice OF
red. juicy roast beef.
Guess that old guys been here thirty
years" said Wavln He carved for
me seven years ago and was a veteran
then. Look al that mutton-there' 5
mighty few places you'd see Joint like
