TRUE LOVE
 DEMANDS SACRIFICES

Dea1 Miss Libbey:-
 have been going with a fellow of 22 three years. Lately I met nice young men who have asked me to go out with them. I would love to go,l yet I have refused to, as I don't want my friend to feel badly. He is jeal- ous disp osition; gets very angry when show a liking for another. We real ly are not engaged. He gave me @ diamond ring (for my birthday). I do expect to marry him some day. Is he little selfish? He is not employed at present; cannot take me places I would like to go. If he cannot take me, do you think he rra-- object if go with another once in a yhile? He. has no right to tell me what I can do. I hate to hurt his feelings; I think the world of him. For that reason, have been doing just as he wished. get very tired; want to have good times. love to dance; he doesn't. We have very few ideas in common, still we are devoted to each other. Please ad- wise if am to go with others if I get the chance. Do take a chance of losing him, or shall keep right on as I've been doing and be un- happy? am IS years old; am too young to settle down. I cant bear the breaking of friendship, which is so dear to me.

Gertrude Atherton,
 56 Today, Urges
 Preparedness For War

Not the least influential of the dis
 tingutshed Americans who are urging
 that Uncle sam prepare for war as
 a measure of preserving peace is Ger
 trude Franklin Atherton, the forerno nost
 of American woman noyelists. Mds.
 Athertoni was born in San Francisco on Oct. 80, 1859, and will soon pass
 her fifty-si1th milestone today. The
 Franklin in her name is not without
 significance. for she is a grand-niece
 of Benjamin Franklin Mrs fAtherton
 was Miss Gertrude Horn prior to her
 marriage to George H. Bowen Ather-
 ton. at Menlo Park, Cal MT. Ather-
 ton died some years ago. The new
 est distinguished member of the Navy League of the United States and ad- vocate of preparedness" began her literary career while still a girl, when she began to depict the old World calm of the missions Of her native
 State. She was educated at St Mary's Hall, Benicia, Cal, and sayre Instt- ute at Lexington K..& She achieved her first success in the world of let tefs with Los Cerritos,'' a story of Mexican American life and manners. In 1892 she published The Dooms- woman,'A and several other volumes intervened before she scored her great triumph with eThe Californians,' which appeared in 1898. Soon after
 beginning her literary career Mrs. Atherton settled in London and since then she has spent much of her time in that city and Paris and Munich, with occasional periods lof residence in New York and San Francisco. Mrs. Atherton has lately indulged in se- were criticism of tie apathy of the British people toward the war and has expressed the opinion that the United States would exhibit a sini- liar indifference in the event of hos tlities. She adds that the apathy of the masses in Great Britian cannot be laid by the most. impatient critic to cowardice. Germany with her child ish psychology kept on sending over her Zeppe1ins after they had proved their com parative Worthlessness in order to terrify the population of Eng land into demanding peace at, any cost. We know that there are Kitchener's best friends these hor- rible engines of the sky raining bombs upon the defenseless, and the civilians that are not infuriated into inrne diate recruiting are merely interested with true British ph1egm in the only war spectacle executed for their benefit. More is the pity that so brave a, race should not have rushed forward to a man in the hour that Germany threw off her mask an threatened the world. If they had the war would have end I ed in six months.''

JILTED BY HER
 SCHOOL CHUM
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss Libbey:- Am a girl 20 years old. considered good looking. For two years, gone. with a young man four years my. senior. We became engaged. Were very happy till my school chum in. .vited my fance to a dinner party, not including me. Since he went to that dinner he's not been the same to me. I find the evenings he's not with me he passes with her. told him I heard this and would release him from the engagement. He did not deny calling on her; insisted he loved me best; treated rnq in the same cool manner. It nearly breaks my heart T love him dearly. It would nearly kill me. to give him up. I would do so rather than marry him, and find too late he loved another better than myself. What is best, please?

 Do not give up the young man sim ply because a chun had so little re- spect as to invite him. Be all the. more amiabIe. agreeable and thus win him back No doubt he loves you best. Tn time he will jilt the unprdncipled churn.

WHAT BRIDAL

 But let concealment, Like a worm f

 And with a green and yellow meIan-

 would like to know the heart thoughts of those who stand before an open book and see their names recorded on the bridal records. Their dreams of their wedding have at last come true It is 1ife's one aim for men and women-Iove and marriage.
 There is> nothing concerning their pasts but what they are supposed to talk over in the heyday of their be- trothal.
 One can hardly imagine that young women have any particular episodes that would make or mar happiness; anything the other would desire to know about. They start off on the Journey of welded life with devotion, confidence and loves ambition. It never, occurs to the newly welded pair that they must face fearful ob- stacIes in the flture@tfthe for better or for worse part which the minister had read impressively to them at the altar. To them, the days were to be- gin and end in a halo of golden glow. Hard lines should not cast shadow for their dear lives to rue over.
 Young men who have made up their minds that they have found the only girl they could ever love, and have hastily decided that the knot should be tied without informing friends far and near, find themselves peculiarly handicapped now and then. One of many odd cases in which the bridal records after being made public, prov ed a narrowing revelation, was sit uatfon that was trying. A letter came from a rich maiden aunt to her ne- phew, who lived in another state. Ere quently she sent him money, helping him literally, as he was beginning business. She had besought him not to marry until she had recovered from poor health. Unexpectedly she wired him it was important that he must come and travel with her a few months, her physician advised
 What in the world was he to do? it was no time to broach to sick aunt that fact he had a loving. cling ing wife, He appealed to friends, who helped him by sending her a paper containing his bridal record. Contrary to his expectations. aunt te1esraphed her congratulations The bridal pairs visit proved new lease of life to her.
 A safeguard, this sometimes is, to riva.s who would win a fair one whom after inquiry, bridal records show to be not in the market It is as we'll a telltale of age, of the years wed, parentage, and other items of impor- tance- If they part, it can never be effaced- It binds them sacredIy.
 Fortunes have been found by trac- ing bridal records for husbands names and business. Joyous is the day when bride and bridegroom bend over the marriage record and see their names enrolled in wedIock. I

DO NOT GIVE HIM
 YOUR PICTURE
Dear Miss Libbey:-

Dear Miss LIbbey:-
 We are two young girls and have been employed in an office for the past two years. There is a married man about 48 years old employed in the same office to whom we have given our pictures. Kindly advise if we have done the proper thing.
 B. C., HE. It is very unwise to give any man your picture, and an especial act of folly for a girl to give her photograph to married man. cannot under stand why sweet young girls should not seek to escape the attentions of men who are not on the marrying list, There's plenty of nice young men looking for good sweethearts.
