ID One OF US goes with a young
man OF %. who is exceedingly jeal-
Gus and finds fault with whatever !
do and does not get over his grouchy
spell until he IS coaxed and petted for
a while. What should be done with
him? Does he love me?
(2) The other goes with a young
man OF q, who denies being jealous
and gives me permission to go dances
to which he cannot escort me. as he
works night, but when ! tell about II
he IS silent and acts as though he
does not like IL. Do you think he
loves me? / love him dearly and 1t
would break my heart TO part with
him, yet he sometimes acts rather
cool toward me, though he has re-
peatedly told me he loves me. What
shall l do?
CD DO you think, after a girl has
promised to keep steady company,
that she should receive any dis
appointments? What should be done?
"a Do you think it nice for two
couples to go to places of amusement
together?
PERPLEAED-
"a It is natural for most men to
be Jealous, but it seems to me that a
man who truly loves will not make
his sweetheart unhappy by fits of
bad temper. Just ignore him when
he has a grouchy spell and pet him
when he's nice

siderate than the other. He probably
is a bit Jealous, too, but doesn't in
flict his jealousy on the girl I
rather like him. Don't try him too
much, my dear. Refuse some of the
invitations and try to so out with
him whenever possible.

life without disappointments. Don't

Make Good Examination.

In searching for trouble Of any kind,
the motorist generally examines the
face Of his valves, either inlet or ex-
haust, and II they are found to At
tight and to be apparently in good
order his examination seldom goes
further. But 1t Ia very possible that
the cause of the trouble may be the
valve spindles and guides. or course,
every motorist realizes that the mix
ture is the all important matter as
regards the carburetor. The proper
tons OF vapor and air may easily be
upset, II from the valve stems
are reduced or the space between the
guides become enlarged, as q small
amount OF air at this point Is enough
to destroy the proper proportions Of
the mixture. When this occurs the
action Of the throttle Is rendered un-
even. One minute the engine speeds
up and the next It drags heavily. 1t
is advisable. therefore to give more
than a cursory glance at the valves,
when n is having trouble with the
~accelerator.

There's a reason for this. This COM
