IF THEY FIND YOU
 A BETTER SUITOR

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a young lady of 20, discour- aged with life's ways. I do not go around like other young folks. It changes my whole life I do not ap- preciate things as I should. Mother insists that I shall start Rout with some one from home for fear [ want to get away to get home. She has done that so much that I really worry about it while I'm gone. They are so strict with me here I don't want to go anywhere, and. yet I do so long to get out like other folks. Is it proper 1 for them to watch over me as if I were a child Make me ask when go anywhere? People say I'm child ish. Really it's just as they treat me- They don't understand by grown-up needs. Please tell how I can enter l into the lives of young folks around me; be one of, them. am not mean when go; it's just that folks don't understand. How late should girl stay out with a tgentleman?' What worries me is three or four years ago. could go out, be with a boy, etc. They wouldn't say anything, now they do worry about me while I'm gone. I wouldn't have cared what they said then, but do now It worries me They should trust me now as they did i then. Should a brother (narried, Iiv- ing in the country), see to. it that his sister Qivdng in town) goes with whom he himself likes; makes the girl and boy stop if he doesn't like him? My brother did that. I was going with a nice youth, a real gentleman know Was my brother right? Longing for advice.
 Is it o. K for girl to ride around once in a while on Sunday evenings, and not go to church? What time should she get home?
 F. M.
 Dear Young Reader: Try hard to make yourself reconci1ed to the wishes of your parents You may find in years to come, they have your interest at heart. They should not object to a nice young man visiting you The right one will come to your door. and be well received. Brothers take a very deep inte8est in sisters. Some times they go too far, in place of find ing better suttor. Sunday evening it is only right for girls to go to church, and not ride.

A SELF-LOVING
 YOUNG WOMAN

This is my lady's praise: God after many days Wrought her, in unknown Ways' In sunset lands.
 This is my lady's birth, God gave her might and mfrth,
 And laid the whole sweet earth Between her hands.
 You can go no place, you may feel certain, where you are not likely to meet the self-loving young woman Very often she is young and bright Tn appearance, while she stands the best chance of attracting class of young men, who are under the spell of her sprfght1y charms The first of her i'm portance which appeals to the on lockers, is, her genteel walk, and per feet carriage. Any of the opposite sex could be certain by the light, hoat- ing way she enters a room, that they were face to face with an intensely active, lofty, high-strung young wo- man.
 Her temperament was in her step, it is plain to be seen. as she does not walk as though she were dragging her footsteps over the floor. Careless walkers seldom impress one suh1- ciently for them to take the second look at them. That is the reason why a woman's walk counts for great deal
 Next she has lots of energy and not much of fuss and feathers. She is generally good company; confident that she will carry conversation to the best advantage to herself Or ten she is witty, In exchanging opin- dote she dearly loves, she frequently appears to carry the day, unless her opponent sits back and gives her the palm.
 She takes pains to wear little smile that it may be recognized that she is good tempered. She can read- fly see a joke a long ways off; does not bore her companions by foolishly simpering her ideas of a tale told and making him uncomfortable by the words, ..Did you ever hear such ridic- nIousnessi' Her Laugh is contagious, having ring of lmerrinent in it that strikes ones fancy.
 The self-loving woman is somewhat artistic, and understands what is re- qufred of her to keep up her dainty charms in the eyes of ardent suitors. Uusa11y she does not lack attention and is always ''in the picture" to bor- row a studio expression. She is nat ural, yet maintains a ceaseIess love for herself from the tip of her toe to the gIeam of her wel1-kept hair
 She makes no pretentions of having had her share of young men fall in love With her. She ieayeD that part for them to see, and is judge of, She simply takes pride in the value that she is, just what she appears to be; one who carries her head high. looks pleasant always, possesses an in1ivid-, uality of her own, observes what is going on, and is not Averse to being observed, but not ogIed at.
 This kind of young women are most always worthy of the good results they achieve. The right sort of self esteem, if not carried too far, is bet ter than the lack of it. and the loss of ahte want of 1t. It is less dull and tiresome = with seIf-loving women about The young men who pay court to such 8 one are not disappointed. Some one of them is apt to write to friends: "I've found just the right young woman for me. She is the only person who keeps me from being a bachelor.

THE HEART IS roo YOUNG.

Dear Miss Libbeys-
 have been in love with a girl about 15 years old for two years; she seems to care for me when I am at home, but am away so much all the time, working out, and she doesn't write ike she is much interested in me. We see one another on the sly, on ac- count of old folks I suspicion from her letters she is interested in another fellow. Thanking you for advice. Never has gone with the boys before and we are engaged, but no time set You oblige.
 z MIR. THOMAS What can you expect from a child s heart? The girl is not old enough to have even the slightest notion of what love is. She is liable to have score of faneies ere she is 1s- The man who needs so young a girl is generally forced to look on and see her cry her eyes out later. He is always blamed bitterly by her for enticfng her into marriage before she realized the inn portance of the step.

ToDAY's POEM
THE BRAvEsT BATTLE.

 The bravest battle that ever was fought!
 Shall I tell you where and when? tOn the maps of the world you will find it not.
 Twas fought by the mothers of men. Nay. not with cannon or battle shot, With sword of noble pen;
 thought
 From mouths of wonderful men! But deep in a waI1ed-up woman's Of woman that would not yield, But bravely, silently bore her dart So, there is that battlefield! No marshaling troops. no bivouac song,
 No banner to gleam and wave; But oh! these battles. they last 50 From babyhod to the grave Yet, faithful still as a bridge of stars She fights in her wa1led-up town Fights on and on in the endless wars, Then, silent, unseen, goes down. Oh, ye with banners and battle shot, And soldiers to shout and praise! I tell you. the kingliest- victories fought Were fought in those silent ways o spotless woman in a world of shame,
 With splendid and silent scorn, Go back to God as white as you came The kingnest warrior born.
 Joaquin Miller.

GET A SINGLE MAN
 FOR YOUR BEAU

Dear Miss Ldbbeye- a young man that has been married but is parted from his wife, but hasn't got a divorce yet. Do you think 1t any harm in going with him? My people don't want me to even speak to him. He is very fond of me and I like him very much; love to be in his com pany-
 Please advise me what to do. Is there any harm in an occasional good night kiss
 B. Until this man is freed from thesfor- ner marriage by the cour he is still the lawful husband of the woman he welded; therefore, has no right to make love to any other woman. There can be few greater acts of folly than to exchange goodnight kisses with g. married man.
