Such charms by Mature you possess,
 'Trwere madness not to love you!''
 Not so very long ago, we were from young women, as well as buds escorts and unmarried men at meet ings and gatherings for half of the afr daughters to depend on. Then more than one hostess got busy to remedy this dep1orable situation. Moth CTS with daughters put on their think of having more men about, to dance attendance upon those needing part ners and those who came alone to mer- ry gatherings.
 It is easy to get up small affairs at the end of afternoons and have pleas ant visitors enjoy liveliness and hos pitality, but there must be plenty of each sex to make it a remembered success and a wish to see more of one another. In the neighborhood and diff ferent places, there are many industri- ous young men whose duties require them to go very early to their bust ness After 5, many afternoons, their labor is slowed down, and they can be permitted to put on their hats and coats and get a breath of fresh air for the uorrow's benefit
 Invitations were sent them to come to these affairs at 5:3o, or later, with out fuss or ceremony and participate in having a good time with a nice jolly crowd. Come in everyday at tire sooner than let us miss your pres ence,' was the most pleasing part of the ifayitation which was received, cused themselves, sent regrets for not being one of the five and twenty in gettosether stylish affairs sooner than go home tired and face the dress suit regulations.
 Those who make it convenient and pleasant for early corners not to put Et1emae1ves out to any extent, to come without a carriage and not miss bring Ing a good appetite along, W1H find the most agreeable of young men at their homes, willingly at the beck and call of one and all the girls.
 Sue a man about the. house, after dancing with those who have no part ners, as well as with others, seats his fair partner with a bow in a seQues- trated part of the room, reminding her that ~good people are scarce" and it, is best to avoid draughts He does not boast Of his dear fxe hun dred friends, his accepting invitations at this or that affair. and people he met. Mot bit of it! The men met are plain everyday sort of fellows, not dapper gotten up, with weak faces, wearing 2, perpetual smile. and fas- lcinating, comprehensive glances The plain man about the house is not a parlor favorAte, intent on getting into the good graces of rich or brainless girls. The dissipated dancing flop may suit and allure unsuspecting women who seem too innocent of their world hness to keep a distance from him. Each girls home folks should talk oyer who is who when it comes to 1n- yiting a man to the house, to rub e1- Dows with fair innocent ones. Men whose minds are busy and who scout the idea of being fashions slaves can be depended on to have good intention and honest hearts. They are good prospective husbands, and when they take short vacations they choose that time to wed and take a happy bride along, very often

ABSENCE MAKES THE
 HEART GROW PONDER
Dear Mdss Ldbbey

Dear Miss 1dbbey:-
 We are sisters wishing your advice. as we cannot see our way out. We att tend high school; moved to the coun- try six months ago. While in the city we kept company with nice young men. Younger sister met her friend last May. I met mine six years ago. We corresponded with them since coming to the country. We wonder if it's tir to these young r3en to keep from the fact that we go with young men in this community? Also, is it right to correspond with these city young men while with others2 Is it proper for young man to kiss a girl before they are engaged?
 B. AND B. E.
 It is very unfair to the young men in the city, and to those in the country as well for you to correspond and go with others. You should break off, with those you do not care for. A young man should not kiss a girl before he is engaged; then should be chary of kissing often.

 S sM. w.
 She will no doubt consider that you are steady and ambitious, and realize you cannot break off tobacco at once Your love for her will strengthen your endeavor to overcome this objection, sooner or later. It is not every young man who will write to his girl and &C., knowledge that he was tempted and at her mercy to decide what shall be done. She sympathizes with you in your great effort, I am sure.

UPBRAIDING HIM FOR
 TOBACCO HABIT
Dear Miss I1ibpey:. :.

Dear Miss Iibpey:-
 ask advice on a serious question. I was going with a young lady. my se- nior, for months. We got along fine together, except a few little quarrels, soon forgotten. First of the year I gave up smoking. I indulged in this nine years. It pleased her very much. Craving for g. cigar lately became strong. I started to chew tobacco, to rid myself Of he longing. With chew ing habit, 1t was worse. Sunday told my girl of chewing tobacco at work. She seemed hurt over it, re-
 marking she would sooner see me smoke than chew. I started old habit of smoking the same evening. wrote this in a letter to her She replied her feelings were hurt. If I do not give up

nHE ADVANTAGE or
 BUYING NOW.


 If a business man reads in his trade journal that he could get certain stock fof 75 cents that would cost him $1 later, he would travel long dis tances and borrow money to get the goods If he had a business man ager that neglected such an oppor- tunity, he would bs fired.
 At the same time sox11e men let just such chances go in daily life. They read in the newspaper advertisements that a dealer is selling for $2 what ordinarily would cost $2.50 to $3. They let the chance go because 1t seems too small to attract them. Yet if all these opportunities are innprov- ed, the cost of living can be greatly reduced.
 Women are pretty esl1rewd in these slip by to buy goods that they really need They recognize that in the middle Of summer particularly trade is naturally a little slow. Dealers are all the time offering special bar gains in order to clean out their stocks.
 There are two scales of living cost on which you can run a. family. One scale is based on indiscriTninabe, hap hazard buying, running into the first store and buying the first thing offer ed, without making any effort to find If any competitor is selling any cheap CT. No business man can run a fac- tory that way. A family can be sup ported that way only by running into debt or going without things one might just as we'll have.
 The other way to run a family IS to buy in the cheapest market Tho way to find out what the cheapest market Is is to watch what dealers make the best offerings in the news papers The family that watches for bargains should be able to reduce it's living costs from 10 to 25 per cent
 For the great majority of people this advice is needless, as they already watch the newspaper advertising clos CT than they do the daily news. But some families who growI about the cost of living have a. good. deal to learn in thas respect.
