BY FLORENCE E. YODER.
~ OULD 1t be possible for
w Washington to amalga-
" mate all public charities
under one head. and.
somewhat after the manner Of Balti-
more. dispense with the numerous
demands which are made during the
year on the public purse, by having
one yearly check cover all?
Miss Bliss Finley. trained social
worker. who. although a bred-in-the-
bone Washingtonian. has been for
several years engaged in social work
in other cities. thinks that the peo-
pie OF this city will welcome the
opportunity to write one check
year, and feel that their duty toward
their less fortunate neighbor Is
do-o.
She is very careful not to claim
that it would be done. but admits
that It would be ideal. and that only
when philanthropy is put on such
a business basis can It really pay.
and give the greatest good to the
greatest number
But who will do It? Who Is in
terested enough in Washington. to
make such an amalgamation of.
forces possible?" she was asked.
The cave-dwellers. for one lot"
she answered instantly.
Now, by the cave-dwellers she
meant the bona-fid Washington
people, who have lived here for
several generations. who mix neither
in politics nor with the suddenly
wealthy. but who. after all. know
and love the city for their own.
Problem of Winter.
"They are the ones to see that the
forces in this city combine. and
that the proper persons are ranged
UP on both sides. the social workers
on one. the business men on the
other" she continued.
They have lived in Washington
for years. and have seen It build up.
and expand: they know the high
ways and the byways: they have
known Of conditions in this city win
ter after winter. for half century
in many cases: and they, better than
any one else. would be will ing to
start the amalgamation which
would do the most good for their
less fortunate neighbors In the long
run.
perhaps this is not bad time
for such a plan to be considered.
she said. since next winter is such
an unknown quantity. We do not
know what we will have to face.

Miss Finley agreed that a plan
could be formulated by which
every person could be asked to
give according to his or her In

the belief that since that process
is the custom naturally the au-
thorities could avail themselves
OF 1t.

Certainly. should think the man
would find time to write II he cared
for you. OF course. when a person
is away 1t is the only way to dis
cover whether or no he cares much
for you. II he Is away on business.
Won would not expect to hear from
him very often. but letters at least
twice a week are to be expected:
Don't bother much more about
him. F. NJ. C. He is a great deal
older than you are. anyway, and

To tell you the truth, scarcely
blame your first friend for being
somewhat angry with you, and then,
again, I scarcely blame you for add

circle Of friends. 1t Is my belief that
a girl is a good deal better off II
she has a number of men friends
than II she restricts herself to going
with one only.
why don't you explain this to
your first friend? II he was afraid
that you would continue your

Dear Annie Laurie-Perhaps you
VIII think 1t queer to ask you
this. but 1t means a great deal to
me: What is the best way for
Girl to prove her love for a man?
I am not quite sure as to what you
mean by prove. That 10. do not
know whether you mean to show a
young man that you love him or to
be faithful to him after he has do
clared his love for you.
If 1t Is the latter you mean,
girl can prove her love for a man
in a number Of ways-by being
faithful to him, by defending him II
people ever speak Ill OF him and by
being considerate of his wishes.
OF course a girl should never show
a boy her regard for him unless he
has made a declaration Of his own
love for her. II she does love him
and he has not confessed to loving
her. it a case for her to exercise
her self-restraint in not letting him
find out her feeling.

been going with a young man
for the past two years, but of
late he has been acting very
cold to me. / regret that this
state OF affairs has arisen. and

this?

Since you are so positive that
