It seems so easy some soul to bless,
 But we dole the love grudging1y, less
 and less,
 Till 'tis bitter and hard to live.''
 What is platonic affection? How far this side of the boundary line of love does it stop? Does it thrill the heart with a sentimental grip, or is it calm, paSsion1ess, like purling brook, which hath neither depth nor mighty force to make it dangerous? There is scarce Iy, a, week that I am not entreated in a score or more of letters from both men and women who are lettering in primrose paths to make clear to them just what a platonic attachment really is.
 The truthful answer is: A mutual attraction between man and woman who know that they should not love each other because marriage, for one reason or another, is not advisabIe-or perhaps possibIe-therefore entirely out of their expectations and hopes It is seldom that a man calls regu- larly upon a single woman, explaining carefully to her that his attachment for her is to be regarded as purely platonic, an ideal friendship nothing more. The woman of good sense would soon tell him that "a woman'S youth was her heyday, her opportunity to l love and be loved in return; in short, I to be sought by a true .heartmate
 
 married man who tells a woman that he has p1atonic attachment for her insults her by such a declaration The married woman who listens to such words from the lips of any man knows she is breaking faith with the man she welded.
 l She realizes the word p1atonic is but another name for oyeTT1pe friendship which requires but a little time to make it unwho1esome. If a husband has a foolish, Hghthearted butterfly of a wife, 1t is his duty to safeguard her from his male friends whom he knows to be hatterers of women Even male 67rts have scrup1es in casting admir- ing eyes women who owe every sentimental thought in their hearts to some good, honest, plodding husband l who would place his life alongside of his honor in their keeping. This is of ten the one and only admirable trait of a male airt
 The term p1atonic attachment is a misuse of the words. A man and wo- man are wholly indifferent to each | other as lowing acQuaintancas or l friends who meet casually at social functions, or under their own roof tree, but when the interest grows deeper, takes stronger root which is nourished and encouraged instead of be lover, awaiting an opportunity to declare the love that he has been dex- trous1y flaming into an ardent flame.

WANTS A COUNTRY
 GIRL FOR A WIFE
Dear Miss Libbey:- :

 I am a young man twenty three years old. Girls have gone with are not my standard All they think of are dress, dancing, staying out in the park till eleven or twelve o'clock I want a, country girl That is where I am from. I am a n1achinist making $1oO a month. Parents are both dead. do not drink or smoke.
 FIG. You have sensible ideas, and coming from the country, naturally you are inclined to favor a girl who is a home body with none of the attributes you mention. There are plenty of good single people who will recognize your worthiness and help you to settle down with the right mate whom you will find by biding your time.

SHE ASKS HOW
 MUCH HE MAKES

Dear Miss dbbey:-
 I am a girl of twenty-three. am go- ing with a young man my age. He went away, writes to me once a, week. He wanted to get married. Tells am the only one he cares for. But don't know how much money he gets. Not a great deal, he says, yet we could live happily. I would like to know how much he makes. Please advise. ELI
 If the hearts have gone out to each other it is better than a Kingdom of money without love. Hope for the best. In good time he will tell you of the money part; he may be saving and expect your co-operation of his eff forts.

GIVE HER A CHANGE
TO CHOOSE

Dear Miss Idbbey:- I ask pretty good advice of what you think, please. I will be seventeen in June. Since I've been any size, it seems every bachelor and married man notice me. A family lived near us six years. The man of the house, about thirty-seven years, tries to get his wife jealous of poor me, as his sister s company keeps saying I am fairly good looking. Kindly aid.
 EM G. Do not pay attention to jealousies. Keep your heart and courage up and you will have a chance to choose for the better and to forget in your pros perity those lily disposed toward you.

CHARM OF MODEsTY.

Dear Miss Lbbey:-
 Kindly let me know how I should act, what I should talk about and if I should let a boy put his arm around me when we are out riding.
 Be your natural self and talk of the little incidents of the day of proper topics No, by all means, do not allow him to put his arm around you, when out driving. Charm by your girlish modesty if you would win his respect.

He knows he is offering a. false promise He is not looking for p1atonic heart interest in return. Single wo- men do not want paatonic admirers to 'usurp the place of men who are n quest of a wife.
