IF YOU HAVEN'T A SWEETHEART

Love is gold so delicate the faintcst flame

Love il nothing. but God help the man

CARDS in the love game A man must
show an interest in women II he ex-
poets them to be interested In him in
return. because one of the fair sex
is shy and seemingly cold, he shouldn't
be faint-hearted and in despair lest his
suit might be unsuccessful.
There's no woman who detests q
man because he loves her il he's come
ly in her sight. Even the plainest of
men. plain to actual LONELINESS, have
the loveliest women and have led on
the prize which handsomer men have
failed to secure.
Abraham Lincoln had notable love
affair OF this kind. The girl whose
hand he sought in marriage was a ia
nous belle and beauty: one Of the
most witty and fascinating young
women of her day. The honest young
lawyer, after several unsuccessful at
wrote her a love letter which was SO
convincing that it took the citadel of
her heart by storm. He wrote in his
quaint way: I'm laying bare my heart
thoughts for you to read, / may in
cur your displeasure. But shall nev-
er despair. While you are single.

OF winning you"
This was a postscript. written on

day. History has 1t that they had
had u slight quarrel. and were we'll
nigh parted. Those words straight
from an honest heart SO impressed his
lady love that she straightway re-
called him. We see. from the diffident
Lincoln, that no man Is too bashful to
make an attempt to gain sweetheart
when he sees a girl he really cares
for. II he is too bashful to ask per-
mission to call upon her. q note will
probably pave the way.
Many man hangs back, doubtful
as to whether he has found the right
girl. That is the one matter in life
whore the man must be careful in his
selection and choose for himself. AS
Davy Crockett says: BE sure you're
right. then go ahead" Don't wait un-
til you have piled up riches; IL you do.
some other man will beat you in loves
race. When the heart is yet young,
a man should take unto himself
WIFE"
Don't wait until you are SO old that
a woman would consider you burden
instead of prize. Without sweet
heart the single man is never quite
satisfied with himself. To love and be
loved by; good. true woman should
be every mans hope.

when she was SO disguised nobody

How much of his character was de-

his mother and her family.
Mary Ball was the granddaughter OF

passed away, and those who remained
could tell little. But upon one point
there was unanimous agreement. and
1 that was that in her girlhood she was
