Many American Ships
 At Ancient Kirkwall

London, Nov. 26-KirkWau, where many of the American merchantsEips have been taken for examination by the British patrol ships, may be said to have made a sudden leap into fame as far as the average Londoner is concerned-out of the pages of the latest American note.
 Probably few Londoners more than suspected the existence Of KirkwaII until they read about it in theNAmer- can note. It is a rather obscure Scotch town, although capital of the island county of Orkney, and it's popu- lat1on Is less than four thousand. But it has 8 magnificent harbor, in which the 250 or so captive ships might all ride safely at anchor at the same time But when it is remembered that Kirk wall is located 26 miles north Of John-o' Greats, which is the extreme northern point of Scotland, it is seen how far the harbor is from the ordi- nary purposes of trade.
 The American crews could find no better harbor in which to spend en- forced leisure nor better sightseeing of the antiquarian order. For Kirk wall is environed by the past cai he1ra' palace and castle are all of the Middle Ages, and nearby are great Stonehenge circles of an even remoter era. Nowhere are the an cient rcrl1ins better preserved. Re minders of Scandinavian rule are found in the p1ace-names, KirkwalI itself being a corruption of Kirk juvagr, the Bay of the Church

WHY HE DOES NOT
 ASK HER TO WED

How delicious is the winning
 Of a kiss at Loves beginning;
 Yet rel member midst your woo1ng.
 Love has bliss, but may have rue1ng.
 Love he comes, and Love he tarr1es
 Just as fate or fancy carries.
 Loves a fire that needs renewal
 Of fresh beauty for it's fuel" x
 An elderly gentleman, the father of a bunch of pretty marriageable daughters, said to me the other day: Young men nowadays who call reg ularly upon girl never so much as limiting that they are in love and that they intend some day to propose mar riage, have an amazing amount or cheek. There's a lot said about the sensibility with which courtsh1p IS carried on nowadays. But, l can tell you, it was far different when I was a young man. There was no flirting, no picked-up acquatntances-- All the girls went to church or to singing school. If a young man desired to make their acquaintances, he had to go there to get an introduction
 Love reins were not placed in girls hands! They had to. abide by the de- cfsion of pa or ma if swain asked permission to call. He could not re- peat his Sunday afternoons visit with out pa making. it known to him that he Twas very much interested as to what the attraction was that brought him there, The youth had to ask to be permitted to come a counting the girl or to- thereafter make his visits few and far between. There isn't a yotng fellow who comes constantly and sits in my parlor, taking up the time of anyone of my girls. while I'm head of the house.
 Mothers are soft-hearted. They would give a lover seven years to make up his mind, and then wonder why the courtship petered out He has no house rent to pay, nor gas; has a warm fire to sit by evenings, to say nothing of cider and doughnuts fur nished him. with a pleasant girl sitting opposite him to entertain him. So why should he bother to take on the expense of matrimony? It isn't quite so bad for girls who have Ratters to put up for all this.
 Its the fellows who call on the working girls with no thought of mar rying that make me sore. Such chaps ought to know that it costs money to keep the gas stove lighted, she is wearing out her, best clothes, passing her best years, so say nothing of rais- man knows pretty well after seeing a girl under such circumstances for many months. whether he wishes to marry her or not. He has no right to drag friendship beyond that limit. Six months acquaintance ought to be enough time allowed most any man to make up his mind. The req son why many young men defer pop ping the question is that courtship ia found to be, with no obligations, too easy"

BETWEEN TWO LOVES.
Dear Miss Libbey

 I am a girl of 18, corresponding with a young man of 21 for about 8 year. In the meantime I met another young man who interests me far more. He has graduated in music. He seems to love me better than the other one does. Please advise.
 E. H. Since you. find you have lost interest in No. 1, cease corresponding with him. It is unkind to keep adding fuel to his hopes of winning you by writ ing him.. Tell him frankly why you desire to lend the corresponding. If No. loves you as you seem to infer he does,s and you care for him, there is no reason why you should not trans fer your affection to him.
