impressive. Following the work ban

Common Sense Girls

mans intimacy and conversation
Young men OF character. brains, good
sense and purpose in life prefer the
friendship of a girl Of character and
wonanliness, rather than that OF tho
silly, vain. light-minded girl. who makes
herself cheap by foolish flirtations. There
is an innerInost instinct in a man to re-
spect a girl. II Is her own fault IL a man
fails in respect toward her. II he finds
that she does not fulfll his ideals he is
disappointed.
A man never likes or a5miros a girl
who makes herself conspicuous. lie gets
very tired OF noisy companion. The
self-ssserting girl, with independent
manners, who fancies she Is uphoiding
her rightful place In the world by being
loud In dress, manners and talk is sure
TO weary him.
II girl has common sense, bright con-
versation. and what may be termed per-
sonalty she will win friends worth hay
ing. She may be 1.-the and gay without
ever being noisy.
Although a girl may not be remark
ably clever, or a brilliant tslker she may
have charm that makes one feel happy
10 be with her or to have her for a
friend. She may be gentle in voice ami
manner, sweet tempered considerable,

OF humor, II Is the very salt Of life

When a Mans i'm Love
Signs and Symptoms

The third indication Of love is to be |
seen in the mans attitude toward your
family. II he looks bored when papa
discourses to him about the part he took
in the battle Of Gettysburg, and mother
bemoans the triflingness Of servant girls
nowadays, and IL he looks as Il no
could murder little brother and sister
when they hang around, there's nothing
doing. He's merely amusing himself.
But when he hangs on mothers and
fathers words, and hestows money on
little brother and sister, IL is clear in
dication that he is trying to make friends
at court
a fourth indication that man is
really in love is to BE- found in his
memory. If he recalls every carelessly
spoken wish of yours and tries to graf
ifv it; IL he remembers that you wear
violets instead of roses and that you
prefer sailed almonds to chocolate
creams, then you may begin planning
your wedding dress. Only men In love
remember wonan's desires Hus-
bands and all other men suffer from
aphasia on this point.
The fifth indication OF love in a man
is when he begins to try to take care of
a girl. AZ long as he isn't In love with
her all that he cares about Is for her
to be good locker and dress stun
ningly enough to make people rubber at
her and IL she wants to kill herself by
pneumonia or dyspepsia It's none of his
affairs. Observe, therefore. when you go
out with man whether he inquiries If
you have on heavy shoes and enough
around your throat and heed well when
he orders the meal at a restaurant
whether he presses a good, thick steak
and potatoes on you or lets you eat lob
stor salad and ice cream. IT he insists
on rational food, it's a sure sign that he's
thinking about your future doctor bills.
The sixth indication Of love that a man
gives is when he begins to tell you how
he hates boarding, and to call your at
tention to how happy the Lovey-Doveys
are in a little Harlem flat, and to ascer-
tain your views about whether two can't
live as cheaply as one, Until a man really
begins to think about getting married
himself ne looks upon domesticity about
as kindly as he does upon the smallpox,
and with the same ardent hope that he'll
never catch it, but when he falls in love
he becomes rooter for the fireslde viz
tues
Therefore put no dependence in q mans
love talk until it begins veering around
toward open plumbing and gas ranges and
quiet evenings at home.
or course, there are times when all
signs fall but. generally speaking, a close
observation of the symptoms hereinbe-
fore enumerated will enable a young
woman to diagnose a mans case and tell
whether his attack of the tender passion
is chronic and likely to lead to serious
results or only sporadic and flirtatious.
| But never, never, never judge whether
a mans in love or not by his talk alone.

Mazzini, Prophet of Italian Liberty

before any solid fact comes there must
come the great Illuminating. inspiring
idea.
And It was Mnzzui who gave birth to
tho idea and kindled the great burning
inspiration 1t was Mazzln who breathed
into the minds OF ltalys sons the thought
Of Independence and unity, and filled the
hearts OF Italy's sons with the deathless
passion for freedom from the scoundrels
who had so long oppressed and degraded
them. lie was the fountain whence came
the never falling stream of hope and
courage and the unconquorsble resolve
10 win. Great was Csvour. great was
GariNaldl, but greater was Mazzini who
from his ever-trusting, evcr-suffering soul
poured out tho inspiration that nerved
the statesmen in the cabinet and the
tighter in THO field.
And in this day OF democratic ideals Il
is well to remember that Mazzini was
first. last aud all the time q democrat,
loving the people, believing In the people,
ard ready to trust tlIe people to take care
OF themselves. The dignity that doth
hedgo the king was TO Mazzlni arrant
nonsense. lie was republican. having
no respect for kinglv rule, and wanting
only one form Of government, that form
OF government which Is "ot the people,
for the people, and by the people" He
was glad to see Italy united under any
conditions. but could he have had his
way he would have had republic rather
than q monarchy.

rests which are pretty reliable guides.
The first thing that / would impress
upon you, daughter, IS to pay no atten-
ton to what a man says. but to keep a
searchlight turned upon the way he acts
Likewise bear in mind that poetic and
fluent lovemaking is no indication of
the state of mans affections. The abil-
ity to make love like a matinee hero
shows that the man is full of words and
that he's had much experience
When man is doing the kind VI love-
making that winds uu in a proposal to
assume girls board bill for life he
doesn't quote poetry. He gurgles, and
sputters, and threatens to choke. for
it's the most momentous moment in his
life, and he knows It,
The first reliable symptom that o man
gives that he is hard hit for keeps is
when he becomes Johnnie-on-the-Spot
and wherever the girl goes he is sure as
fate to bob up. Men who are not in
love and who have to work for a Twins
are rushed for time. They have en-
gagements they can't break, and they are
too tired to go to places, but while
a mans in love he jugsles with time and
finds leisure to chase the adorcd one.
After ne is married he will again get
busy and not be able to slip away to
meet his wife for afternoon teas or a
lingering lunch, but while he's counting
her he's Mary's little lamb.
The second symptom of acute heart
trouble that a man exhibits is when he
shows an eagerness TO adopt all of your
opinions instead Of trying to force his
down your throat. Also he LISTEN
with rapt attention while you expount
your Views, and becomes instantly con-
verted to suffrage, or the higher
thoughts or whatever else you believe
The only time man ever has any re-
srect for womans opinion is when he's
