Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl
twenty years old. Lately l have had
a great desire to enter a hospital and
become nurse. Do you think would
be sorry for doing so? Some of nv
friends say would.
WITH THANKS.
My dear, the career of a nurse is a
very useful one, but it is very hard
and 1t takes a strong constitution and
special qualities to make one success.
full in it. The fact that you desire It
greatly probably means that you could
succeed in it, but unless you are pre-
pared to endure hardships do not try
it. Those who are fitted for the work
love it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is a
young man rooming at our home with
whom l would like to become better
acquainted. He leaves in the morning
at 7:45 and gets home in the evening
between 1880 and g. Please advise me.
ANXIOUSLY WAITING.
A good way would be to invite him
to meet some of your friends on spe-
cial evening, and then make it as pleas.
ant as possible for him.

MRS ELfzABErH Tue4p5oN

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are girls
of nineteen and twenty-one years OF
age.
"a Would you please tell me If it
would be proper for lady to go and
meet her intended husband at his
home?
(2) Is 1t proper for us girls to as
sociate with girls that are not equal
to our standing.
(3) When a girl is engaged is it cor
rect for her to keep company with
other boys when her intended is in
another state?
(4) Is 1t correct for engaged girls
to go to entertainments without their
lovers and against their wishes?
90 When a girl is going to get mar
ried. how long before should her
friends give her a miscellaneous
shower?
(6) Is it right for boy who is en-
gagged to accept presents from any
girl except his fiancee?
ca Is it proper for girl to ex-
change pictures with a boy that she
never met? CHUMS.
% After the engagement is an
nounced it is perfectly proper for the
young lady to visit the home of her
fiance and meet his people.
CD My dear, 1 hardly know what
you mean. All American girls are
equal in a sense. You can associate
with any self-respecting girl who car
ries herself like a lady. There are no
casts in America, or should not be. A
girl is a snob who will cut an asso-
ciate because she has not as good
clothes or as fine home as she.
CD That should be as the young
people agree. If the young man is to
be away for any length of time and
the engagement has not been made
public, there is no reason why either
of them should turn recluse. OF course,
she should not have any regular es-
corte, but going with the young peo-
pie of her set with different escorts
would be perfectly proper and he
should have the same privilege
(G That would depend on whether
their wishes were reasonable or not,
but if they were not reasonable you
would not wish to be engaged to be
to him. l cannot see how

SCRIPTURE
EccIesiastes 7:1.1o.


good name is better than precious
ointment; and the day of death than
the day of ones birth.
1t is better to go to the house OF
mourning, than to 60 to the house OF
feasting: for that is the end of all
men: and the living will lay it to his
heart.
Sorrow is better than laughter: for
by the sadness of the countenance the
heart is made better.
The heart of the wise is in the house
of mourning: but the heart of fools is
in the house of mirth.
It is better to hear the rebuke of the
wise. than for a man to hear the song
of fools.
For as the cracking of thorns under
a pot, so is the laughter of the fool:
this also is vanity.
Surely oppression maket1 wise
man mad; and gift destroyeth the
heart.
Better is the end of a thing than the
beginning thereof, and the patient in
spirit is better than the proud in
spirit.
Be not hasty in thy spirit to be an
CRY: for anger resteth in the bosom OF
fools.
Say not thou, What is the cause
that the former days we're better than
these? for thou dost not inquire wisely
concerning this.

THE HOME sEAMsrREss.

When Making Dust Caps, corset Gov
ers or similar articles that require
beading for ribbon, use the common
catstitch on the edge instead of sew
ing on beading. 1t affords an excel.
lent substitute for the latter Draw
the ribbon under the catstitches; it
looks neat, wears we'll and cost next
to nothing. Finish the neck of baby's
dresses in the same way.
Quick Way to Mark Linen Sheets,
Etc.-Write the name in pencil, then
stitch over the line with sewing ma
chine, using a coarse thread and long
stitch.
To keep silk on new spool from
falling off. when first opened, dampen
in water. This will not injure the
most delicate shade and silk thus treat
ed will run much better when used on
