Dear Miss L4ibbey :

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 My story is a strange one. I am a girl of 23, engaged to be married toN a young man love sincerely. He, came to our town a year ago, secured a fine position met him shortly after and our romance followed He proposed. ] accepted him and our engagene was published. In making out a list of the friends far and near we were to send invitations and announce ments to we stumbled by 1nerest aet cident upon the fact that we are re- lated. He is the son of nay mother s full cousin, his father being my sec ond cousin. We were greatly non plussed over it, as we love each other dearly, and affairs have gone so far. Do you think we should consider our selves too nearly related to marry :? Kindly advise us.
 TROUBLED SWEETHEA RTS.
 I have known personally a few such marriages which have turned out hap oily, despite the usual belief that true love in so close a tie as that. of hus- band and wife is stronger if no Hre1a- t1onship exists between them of kin dred tie There is really very little kinship between second cousins and their children Wed and live down the prejudice of relatives.

oNE-sIDED AFFECTION.
Dear Miss Ldbbey:-

Dear Miss Iibbey:-
 I am a young woman of 24, going with my employer, a. young man of 27. He tells me he loves me, and is anxz ious to be where am. He was ill in the summer. and had to be in con stant attendance on him. Last Sun day evening, coming home from meet ing. he turned cold toward me, though I cannot imagine why, He has never asked me to become his wife. I found out he had been writing a lady friend of his. He told her about my finding it out and laughed with her over it. am brekenheartded over it. Please let me know what you think of it.
 S MRS. o. B.
 If some other girl has won your 1ckle lover from you, all the pleading you could utter would fail to touch his heart and cause i'm to renounce the new love for the old. Be brave and try to bear up nob1y under the load of sorrow. Smile though your heart aches ever so painfully. Do not let him see that his neglect. of you has crushed you. Take a position elsewhere, where you will not be brought into daily contact with him. Dismiss him from your thoughts. It will be a bitter battle but you are strong enough to accomplish it if you will but try hard. Men are. strange you have. got over your love for htn-

FRIENDSHIP MIsCONsTRUED
In hours of bliss, we oft have met; They could not always. last And though the present regret I'm. grateful for the past

It does not follow that though
 man has an admiration for a woman | he is in love with her. He may take
 pleasure in her society, like to near her views on subjects, Knowing she is a eood faIker. Their similarity of tastes often causes him to seek her companionship, yet it must not pe concluded that she has touched The love chord in his heart A man may
 even enjoy taking a bright woman v entertainments or gatherings, pleased at being her constant escort ana at
 the attention she receives. But this IS not an indication. that he intends 10
 make love to her or cares to pc nearer
 and -dearer than just a friend
 The trouble is that men. of this k1nd
 are apt to call too often on such a g1rl
 friend, quite forgetting that they are
 sitting out other wou1d-be lovers whom
 they find in her parlors and dr1Vlns
 them away. The young woman's hopes are raised, as well.
 Nor can she be blamed. for miscon- struing his friendship for tenderer sentiment. Friendship is one tn1ng- Love is quite another. Friendships s claims should not stand in the way Of the girl enjoying the same privilege with others who could be quite as agreeable if allowed the chance. It is a somewhat foolish girl who would fasten her friendship upon one man only if she knew it was to end as it began Men who have made up their minds that theirs should be visits of friendship only should not call too of ten upon the wotnan- They should be careful, too, that their conversation should not drift into sentiment or their handclasp become too tender or, finger ing at parting
 It's all of these little Indications, the compliments he pays Ter and what he says, that give girl hope Her heart feeds upon it She is neither a stick nor a stone A woman's dower/of ten der love has come to her, even though no avowa1 of love has passed between them Nor has he offered, his heart and hand in marriage. As soon as he is aware that he has become nearer and dearer to her than all others, he raises sthe old cry-she has miscon- strued his friendship.
 The flame of love could not have burned had he not have lighted the lamp of expectation There never was a claim moro abused than that of friendship between man and woman When it seems likely to become a ne- cessfty to one or the other, and wed lock cannot be the immediate outcome, it had best be snapped sasunder, ere the cord becomes too closely knit to break without regrets When a wo- ings an he to count the evenings until he shall be by her side again, they have wandered together out of friend ships path into the broader, more beautiful path of love Friendship is often mfsconstrued when it should be called by it's right name-awakened affection

BE OFF WITH THE OLD LOVE

Dear Miss Ldbbey:-
 am young man of 20. engaged to a young lady. My salary is small. Should we marry or wait a wnf1e2 I am receiving letters from a young girl for whom do not care, though can see by her letters she is in love with me. Must I continue corresponding or quit? Please advise.
 EUR Y If your dancee is content to wed upon the small salary you are earning vel land good. It it would entail too much ramping and hardship it might be well to wait another year. As for the other girl. do you think you are treating her right to encourage her to write letters to one who is betrothed to another? Quit corresponding with her at once, and be manly enough to tell her the exact reason.

without much effort, he will be back at your feet pleading, for the love he once held so lightly. I have tried at all times and in every way to impress upon the minds Of young women that they should not allow a man to make love or offer caresses unless he has proposed marriage and been accepted. TEhe man who loves truly is desirous of settling the al1-impOrtant matter as to whether he can win the object of his affections or not. He who intends to just court and ride away always steers clear of the subject of matri- mony.
