All single people believe that love is as free as the air that blows. The sor- did thought of cash never disturbs the young mans love cream at the outset of his romance. It s only after he has made the first few calls that he real izes money is necessary to conduct a successful Ncourtship.
 No woman, be she sweet sixteen, amiab1e two and twenty or fat, far and forty, feels quite satisfied with the lover who is content to be a par Tor beau, with never a thought of talk ing her out to amusements now and then. If his outings are confined to walks through the park, or along. the streets, it costs money. The girl won ders if he realizes that a pair of shoes do not keep their good looks for long. Her jacket and hat soon lose their freshness from dust and the sport1ye winds
 Of course she and she only must pay for that which makes her dainty and good to look upon. But she certainly does not expect that her escort will constantly accept from her purse the wherewith to pay for tickets to thea tres, little dinners at restaurants, to dances rides and other outings. she may believe his first tale of woe-that he has left his pocketbook on the piano or again, that he thoughtlessly left his
 
 yet again, when he remarks that a friend has just borrowed all the cash he had about him. But these excuses soon become an old story.
 At length it dawns upon her that if she accepts his company, he looks to her to pay the bills. No matter how sincerely a girl may have become att tached to a young man, the realtza- tion that the courting expenses are charged up to her. is bitter. dis tasteful drop in her cup of happiness. It is not one man among very many, who will accept constantly such fa- vors from the hand of a sweetheart, and hope to retain her admiration and respect. It would be far better to tell lher frankly at the outset that the condition of his finances will not admit of money spent in pleasures; that it's nip and tuck with him to earn sufd dcient money to pay his bills, cutting out everything-4that is unnec- eSsaryy
 If. after this confession, she .sen- cotrages his society-well and good. He should feel that it would under mine his maniness to accept money for the pleasures he shares with her. Most men forget what they consider part of their cessities-cigarette game of poker. the occas1onal drink might be got along without The money could be used for her pleasure. Courtship funds must be provided, for the same as any other necessity. But Iney should be well within the limits Of his purse. A good sweet heart, is reasonable enough to agree to this When two love and do not wish to part, it is better to marry af- ter short courtship. Wives no not expect as many outings as do sweet hearts A wife delights in saving for a rainy day.

 MISS S. A. I, think 16 is too young to take on the cares of wifehood. If the young man truly loves you, he will abide by your decision to postpone marrying for a year or so longer. You will in that case have the advantage of studying each others dispositions and ways and be more capable of making each other happy Winter and summer each other.

 I am a girl reader of yours. asking your aid. am IS years old and in love with a young man of 24. He says don't love him. and cannot make him believe that I do. Please advise me what to do.
 MISS B. c. The young man is certainly dipIo- mat-he does not wish to encourage you in your notion that you are fond of him, especially as he has made no effort to gain your affections. Do not insist upon proving your infatuation for him. It would be much wiser to turn it off as a joke. Never let man know you hold him dear until he has declared his love for you, and at the same time asked your hand in mar rfage. A man appreciates best-the girl who is hard to win.
